Something's been bothering me lately · 3:19pm Nov 18th, 2022
Hey, guys. Mr. J here.
I have been feeling a little down as of late due to some...well, things that have been annoying me and I want to vent my frustrations with you guys.
Let me tell you guys something. I am a real person behind this account; I am not a robot, I am not Siri, and I am not Alexa. I am a human being who loves to write stories, write movie reviews, and make fun threads on various groups I've been a part of. With that said, I want to do some house cleaning so that you may have a better understanding of where I'm coming from.
For those of you who may not know, I have autism--Asperger's, to be specific. I am also an introvert, so I am not exactly perfect with my social skills. However, that doesn't stop me from talking with you guys and checking up on you every once in a while...as a friend should. For those of you who have followed me since I came here in 2019, you know that I love you and enjoy chatting with you guys. But there are some of you who talk to me as if you expect something from me or only talk to me just to answer some random questions you may have. I do not appreciate it when people ask me anything except how I am doing. Will it kill you if you just simply ask "Hey, Mr. J, how are you? Oh, hi there! What's going on? How has your week been?" That's how an actual conversation is supposed to begin. I have actual emotions too, you know.
Now listen, I completely understand that some of you may not be as chatty as some other people on here. That's fine! I also understand that some of you are busy in real life and do not have the time to have long ass conversations with people on the internet. Again, that's fine. But if you want to talk to me about anything, please, for the love of fuck, ask me how I'm doing first before we have a conversation. I am sick and tired of being treated like this. It's just rude.
*sigh* If you are guilty of this, please don't take this to heart. You know who you are; but come on, it is extremely irritating to get PMs from users (especially those who are close to me) who ask me stupid questions or talk about some stuff without ever checking on my well-being. There may be days in which I am happy and days in which I am sad, anxious, or worse. How would you feel if I talked to you guys like robots? But don't worry, I too am working on my communication skills. I am aware of my own imperfections when it comes to socializing, so I ain't blameless either.
And here is another thing: if ever you are being aggressive towards me or you're being rude and disrespectful for no reason whatsoever, I will chew you out and put you in your place. The last thing I want to do is to block people, but that doesn't mean I won't. I want my user page to be a source of positivity and fun, but if any of you EVER comment or say anything that is irrelevant or rude in any way, shape, or form, your comments WILL be deleted. I'm dead serious. So I hope we're clear on that.
That's all I have to say for now. I love you, guys, and take care of yourselves. Peace out.
(Pat shoulder)
I hope you are doing well. I can understand to some extent, I have Asperger’s as well. Have a good day at least.
I hope things go better for you. As a fellow user with Asperger's, I can tell you that I've felt the same way at times.
Oh gosh... Don´t worry, I understand what you´re feeling. I myself suffer from OCD, and there have been many many times that I wished people asked me more about my feelings, and were more understanding about my nervous moments or this illness, specially the latter.
If it comforts you, I haven´t been feeling my best either. I´ve been going through a rough episode since the end of August and it has stopped me from writing. But I am going to therapy and I´m thinking on retakking writing again.
I hope you feel better after venting, it seems like you really needed it. I don´t know how long you´ve been feeling like this, but you can always go to therapy if you feel like you need it. You can also talk to me if you want. And don´t worry about your social skills, the important thing is that you´re working on them. You still are a wonderful person, never forget that.
I understand.
Looking at this post more, I'm definitely starting to see where you're coming from. And for whatever things I did or sent to you in the past, I'm truly sorry.
I feel guilty of this since I usually just PM you to ask you questions about DC. I'm sorry about that, you're one of my best friends here, and I realize now that I haven't been treating you like a friend, I've been treating you you're just some sort of DC Encyclopedia. I'm really sorry I've been treating you like that. And also, I suffer from autism, OCD, and possibly schizophrenia, not sure about that last one, but I do see things sometimes, and my family seems to think I'm imagining it on purpose, when I don't understand why I'd imagine things like that. I highly doubt that a 25-year-old is imagining a cow strangling a goose with a sock for shits and giggles
