I stopped for a couple days because I was too depressed and tired to write. But now I'm even more depressed and tired to the point where I can't ignore it, and I HAVE to overcerebralize it to feel better about myself. The ego is a very strange mechanism...

This is probably because I had too much coffee and it spiked my anxiety and it made me really easily irritated. But I needed to get work done today so I'm swapping out my apathetic lethargy for feverish neurosis. At least I was slightly productive today.

I guess I don't really feel like a priority. I know this is an underlying cause of me being a spoiled only child who is always hungry for attention because I never have had competition in my young childhood, and thus I have not had an organic education on learning that I'm not the center of the world, so excuse my obtuse petulance about this egotistical issue.

This is probably because I never try to make myself noticed. I guess I have this fear of coming off attention hungry and gaudy in my mannerisms, even though it shows no matter how hard I try. I guess it's just in my nature as someone who has no siblings or anything and was doted on by my parents from a young age. The sudden lack of attention from when you're younger to when you're older must've been shocking to me as a young child. I don't remember much of my childhood though, but as I progressed throughout my school years, i spent less and less time with my parents, due to our respective responsibilities in work and school.

Pausing my droning psychobabble to say that I feel better already LMAO.

But this petering out of attention took a toll on my unconscious naive child self. Spending hours on hours at home waiting for my parents to return unknowingly eroded my ego. Even the act of leaving me at an afterschool daycare, suffering the presence of other kids my age (I was a bit of an edgy misanthropist in middle school lol) until the late hours of the night must've felt like a betrayal to my psyche, flying under the conscious radar of my mind.

This may have instilled a fear of rejection in me, where I, in return, withdrew back from my parents in an involuntary act of revenge, enacted by my unconscious mind.

Ok that's enough writing for today if I'm not able to get home and have a drink tonight I will start MURDERING people

:c

I tried to write the first draft of my fanfic yesterday and the morning after, I was so horrified by what I wrote that I ended up deleting it :( I don't think I'm cut out for this writing stuff.

I don't know why my brain enjoys torturing me with these self-imposed challenges. I think that the physiological need for human connection is overriding my need for avaricious isolation.

I'm trying to talk to this girl so MAYBE I can get to know her better and MAYBE, through an elaborate and overcerebral plan, get her to fall in love with me. The worst part is I don't even like her that much.. I can't really "fall in love" with someone unless I get to know them well. She's really cute and so cool and way out of my league so I'm probably not even going to get to that stage of getting to know her even as a friend because I'm so fucking nervous and the only thing I can do is STARE AT THE BACK OF HER HEAD LIKE A PERVERT.

I was able to get her instagram from a mutual friend, so I've just been stalking her page.

Maybe I am a pervert....

Yeah I'm fully sucked into this fanfiction shit now LOL

I think I'll start working on the first fic tomorrow, which is the pre sburb one. Maybe something that would be cute is a first kiss or something... I'm getting so giddy just thinking about it... Just something soft and fluffy as a warmup. :)

I think I'll post it here first before putting it on Ao3. I get more error-cognizant after I upload things. This goes for artworks too, whenever I upload my art somewhere I immediately notice all the mistakes, and I get tempted to delete it.

I participated in a student protest at my school today, and since I'm disabled, it took a big toll on my physical health (it was totally worth it though!!) so I'm just going to cap it here for today so I can get some rest.

No personal diary entry tonight, I don't really have anything too morose on my mind today, and I don't really feel like brooding on what happened yesterday.

I was thinking of writing some fanfiction. I don't usually write much fanfiction because I tend to get too embarrassed and end up trashing it, and I get nervous when I write angst or fluff. I do want to write something with both of those though, to expand the breadth of my writing range, and get some practice in.

I was thinking of writing an Aradia/Tavros fic because they're my favorite Homestuck pairing, and when I look up their tag on Ao3, they don't have many good fics centered around them. It's really a shame, because their interactions in the story connote so much emotional depth, and they went through so much together while FLARPing pre-sgrub, really bonding them together. But AH never elaborated on their relationship again, dooming them to irrelevance in the story and by the fandom. :(

My idea is that this story will be a series of one or two-shots, each fic detailing something that occurred pre sgrub/sburb, during sburb, and post sburb. I want to keep it fluffy for the most part (because these guys went through way too much and I want to see them happy), but I want to have some hurt/comfort because FUCKKK their trauma is so integral to their relationship and how much they care for each other. The Aratav Ao3 tag section is already oversaturated with smut, but maybe just to indulge myself I could make them fool around in the post sburb fic... In an emotionally and narratively profound way, of course. ;)

Anyways UGH they make me grin like an idiot aaaaughhhh I love you Aratav....

(It's nearly midnight and I'm so exasperated from everything that happened today and honestly still very jarred by what happened but I want to get an entry out before the day ends so I will be very colloquial with my speech sorry :P)

So I ran into a very toxic ex-friend today at the place where I work/do my volunteering.

I don't even know if I can call her an ex friend. It was one of those friendships where the other person treats you like you're their significant other in the worst ways possible, and you're kinda trapped with their micromanagement and clinginess, and by relationship standards it would be considered abuse with the way that they're treating you but you're not in a relationship with them so you keep telling yourself that it's normal, and you keep gaslighting yourself into thinking that maybe they're good for you and that you can fix them, but also you're terrified to leave because you're scared that they might hurt you or themselves kind of friendship.

Also apparently one of my mutual friends told me that she was secretly in love with me (I DO NOT RECIPROCATE NO NO NO), so for the sake of this entry I will be calling it a "situationship." (I hate that word but unfortunately it perfectly describes what our relationship was. A situation.)

She was cleaning cat litter off of the ground and her head was facing the floor, and I thought she was a new volunteer because we had an influx of those come in. Also, she had bright pink dyed hair the last time I saw her and this new mystery person has black hair. I stand in front of this person like a fucking idiot for like 30 seconds before a node of familiarity clicks in my mind and registers it as The Situationship. Immediately I run out of the room and hide behind some stacks of dog food in an empty employee section because I really do NOT want to deal with her bullshit. I then proceed to cower there for 2 hours, texting my friend (who also works there) and asking if she'd left, until my friend tells me that he doesn't think that she's leaving anytime soon, and tells me that our manager told him that she switched her hours to (WHAT A SURPRISE) the same ones as mine. I cut my losses and just leave, because whatever, and after my friend's shift ended me and my friend got ice cream and Chipotle which made me feel a lot better.

Still, I feel so pathetic for just running away like that. I'm afraid no amount of ice cream can help me grow a backbone LOL. I've been trying to switch my hours so I wouldn't have to see her, because for some reason she just keeps stalking me. I'm really scared that she might do something to hurt me. I know probably nothing will happen and most likely she will spit some vitriol at me and then make fun of me for being such a wimp, but she threatened to seriously hurt me before in the past, and I really don't want that to happen to me so I've just been trying to avoid her as much as I can.

What makes it worse is that she constantly berated me about how submissive I was, and was always complaining about how annoying it was when I didn't have any will, but I think she enjoyed having someone to boss around. I'm pretty sure she's trying to find me just to see me run away from her in fear, like how she was always threatening me and trying to control me when I was still friends with her.

I told my mom about this a while back when a similar situation happened right after I stopped talking to her, and she said that I "couldn't live in fear forever." I agree that I have to stand up for myself sometimes but it's so hard.. Especially in person! I think that if I even attempted to express my boundaries to The Situationship she would make fun of how much hemming and hawing and stuttering and "ummm"ing I'm doing and then just cut me off with her own spiel on how boundaries are stupid or something.

Also Tavros icon because I relate to him a lot (if you couldn't tell) and I feel like he would relate to this story. }:)

Honestly when I first heard about it I didn't really care. It was a little under a month ago, and I think I was in denial when it happened and it's only starting to hit me now that maybe I should contextualize this diagnosis into why I'm so socially inept.

I have a lot of health problems so I guess I've been desensitized to new diagnoses and have begun to treat them with a bit of flippancy. I also get irritated when people over-identify with specific labels (not that it's entirely a bad thing, I'm just being overly trenchant), so I also shoved the diagnosis out of my mind out of embarrassment. 

It's a little strange that I didn't notice the symptoms in myself sooner, because I'm so into psychology and the diagnostic process, and I tend to be very introspective, so I came up with a theory on why I was so self-blind in terms of recognizing autism in my own mind, which is that I spend so much time on self-centered scrutinization that I don't really have any real-life examples to compare my own thoughts and feelings to.

Or I just read outdated case-studies of white male children with severe autism and found it hard to relate to.

One of the driving factors of why I thought I didn't have autism was my perceived lack of symptom manifestation in my early developmental period, but in retrospect, there were a lot of symptoms that I missed throughout my life. One of my earliest memories was reading a picture book when I was in preschool, and having a strong aversion to ocular imagery. Maybe this could allude to a theory about unpleasant amygdala over-arousal in autistics that is a reaction to direct eye contact. (Stuart et al., 2022) I also remember having an extremely strong fixated interest on science (I still do actually hahaha), and collecting chemistry books and science paraphernalia like test tubes and posters. I think I also memorized the periodic table as well (I forgot it, unfortunately, which sucks because now I actually have a necessity for it in my science classes).

I could talk more, but I don't want to embarrass myself by prattling on and on about my bizarre mannerisms. I'm sure you can figure some of them out by the way I type (ha ha). Maybe I'll reflect on this in a later post, or maybe one of my autistic eccentricities (that are famous for being extremely desirable and charming and has never caused me any social trouble ever!!!) will become relevant in a future entry.
