One day.

I'm on the spectrum, and some of my co-workers have started to pick this up and begin harassing me. I don't want to escalate to HR, or quit yet, but what are some ways to dealing with these people as autistics? They talk shit behind my back, but nice to my face, and manipulate, and all those bullshits simply because I seem like an easy target.

So far though, I have given zero reactions, and acted very normal and stoic, but somehow it doesn't stop them from doing it? So this must be out of hatred. Also, one of the guy is jealous because there's also an autistic girl there who likes me because she recognized my symptoms, but he likes her as well, and now he's trying to go monkey mode and harass me and dominate, etc. Again, I gave almost zero reactions so far, so I don't know.

Have some self-respect and walk away.
As an autistic who used to work in retail, my biggest regret is not just gtfo after someone deliberately knocked over a glass bottle I just put ont he shelf, blamed be to the manager and they believed him.

Neglecting my health for years cost me my sex drive. I'm uncertain if I could perform sexually on the spot.

What's the fastest way back from this?

>>31113226
I think it called "restoring and cherishing your health", opee.

Doing straining physical activity. You know that sporters sometimes even get spontaneous ejaculations during trainings? Yeah...

>>31113226
>I'm uncertain if I could perform sexually on the spot.
It's most likely going to be your own uncertainty that will prevent you from performing.

Viagra is the fastest, not being a fatass is the best

I'm here with the full intention of just bouncing an idea off the void. I have pretty much made up my mind, but I'm willing to listen to an alternate take.

There is a "friend" who I feel uses me as a crutch at his convenience, regardless of what I may be going through at the time. He has asked for money before, with the excuse of his daughter needing x or y things for school. He had paid me back up until this last instance. Its a semi-insignificant amount, but I won't say no to getting my $200 back.
The last time we interacted, he asked me to help him wipe his PC, reinstall windows etc, and I refused for a few weeks as I was extremely busy with work. He bugged me enough that I relented. As I was doing it, his PC took a shit and I was suddenly to blame. As I attempted to fix his bullshit computer, he continued to berate me, blame me and ended up "dismissing" me. I chose to finish getting his computer to boot windows, and left without a care in the world about stability, drivers, or his backup. He stopped his payments and to date still owes me $200. I'm over the money, just stating the facts.

I decided to cut him off and just move on with my life. It's worth noting that him and his wife were a credit card reference, and some banks take it upon themselves to contact your references as "collections messengers". So I fell behind like 10 weeks, and they obviously called them. Shit, they were calling me and my dad about it almost every other day. I never received any money. I eventually got back on my feet, paid off my debt, and carried on business as usual.

Fast forward a year after all of that, and he has started messaging me, asking me to drop by his twitch stream. I've read em, but have not and will not respond. I understand this as him extending an "olive" branch and trying to reconnect. But, then I remember that he owed me money while I was in a slump and he chose to not pay up when I needed the help, and he kicked me out of his house during his PC death. Wwyd?

28M single, I thought I was losing my sexual drive after my early 20s but it came back from nowhere. When I go to sleep I dream about impregnating my colleagues, I masturbate at work to women I see on the streets and when I check 4chan I only look for the offtopic porn threads (but I don't browse /trash/). I was masturbating once every 3 weeks now I do it 2-3 times a day.

Is this the Nature's way to tell me I'm not supposed to be single and I should be getting a wife and start making babies?

Yes
Many people renounce children in their early 20s only to experience what you are right now. A lot of single people in their 30s really want babies, openly or not.

he wants to nut in women and see out the consequence of that. raising children has nothing to do with it

Uh-oh looks like your clock to make non autistic babies started to tick-tock.

All men get bored of their girl bro. It's normal. Accept it and stay or fly around fucking around left and right never settling. Idk. Both are lame.

I'm into 18 months of relationship. It's boring. It always becomes boring it's not her fault. It's my mind

It is time to stop being emotion led manchild and become a person of active choice and conviction. True love comes from respect, not infatuation.

I've been reducing my caffeine intake for over a month now, prior to that I used absurd amounts of it for 10+ years. Ever since reducing my intake, my sleep is fucked. I fall asleep easily, but I wake up after 4-5 hours and I can't go back to sleep. It doesn't help that I'm an overnight worker and my job is very physical. This has been happening every day and the chronic lack of sleep is raping me. I've been going through the checklist trying things
>"hmm maybe too much light, get blackout curtains?"
didn't work
>melatonin?
doesn't work
>trazodone?
doesn't work
>maybe the room's too hot?
ordered a window unit, we'll see
The only things that have sort of worked were drinking myself to sleep (even then it wasn't a full 8 hours) and pulling 24+ hour all nighters where I'd get 7-8 hours of sleep. Obviously neither of these are particularly healthy.
Can anyone please give me any kind of advice? I'll try any supplement, meditation or fucking voodoo you throw at me. I'd eat a fucking bat's head like Ozzy tonight if it meant I'd get 8 hours of sleep.

Oh yes, this also goes without saying - NO SCREENS. No screens or mental stimulation a couple of hours before bed, and absolutely NO PHONES in bed.

if you tried trazodone, you should probably check cbd too. there is also agomelatine, which is an antidepressant designed specifically to improve sleep.

But here is my two cents. I suffer from genetically shit sleep as in my mother and my grandmother and aunt all suffered throughout their lives with it. So yeah shallow recommendations on th einternet would not help. What helped me in the end, was having a strict system and routine for sleep. No more gaming nights. However I do afford myself a 1 hour nap in the day if I am particularly tired. I just prioritise sleep over everything else I could do in free time, and it helps. Not very focused on getting 8 hours straight though, I dont think we as humans are very designed for that, because we reach the top effectiveness of sleep at around 4 hours in, and after that it is less effective

Also why do you reduce your coffein? Coffee is more beneficial than harmful to you in general, it improves heart and vessel resilience and lowers blood sugar. It also makes your body consume leftover energy reserves for the day, so it can paradoxically help to regulate sleep if your lifestyle isnt very active. You just need to figure out when exactly to drink it.

Alsoo...It may just so happen that you are eating to much for your caloric needs.

Where I live we have "siesta", a few hours after lunch for sleeping.
So 5~6 hours at night + 1~3 hours siesta.
That arrangement feels good.

I feel like my life has no meaning and is unfulfilling. I don't really like my job but it pays the bills. On the weekends I try to enjoy myself but I just end up playing video games, watching a show, eating out, and maybe going to the gym. I'm 33 years old. I have no girlfriend, no friends, no social life, and I just live with my parents. I just feel like I'm just wandering around aimlessly with no purpose and I feel like everyone in life is just spending free time watching Netflix and wasting time until they die. How do I fix this?

dermarolled my face and hairline. yes im actually asking this question: how long should i wait until i can wash my face? different sources say different things

You can wash it immediately with cold water. You should not apply any creams or ointments not designed for wounds for a day or so.

>be me, make friends with group of people
>spend a lot of time with them, help them out financially so we can do stuff together etc
>one day a group member decides to make an argument out of a totally arbitrary comment i made
>politely reply to all the angry things he says to me, just makes him angrier
>he cuts me out of the group and when I ask why it had to be over something so small after all I did for him he says "if we let this go we will just argue about more in the future"

wtf???? there are people who really think no friendship is worthwhile if there's a potential disagreement somewhere on the horizon? I was content to simply have different beliefs, when did it start that you can't even be near someone if they aren't a carbon copy of you?

Sucks extra hard after I was the one who paid for everything. Lesson learned I guess, I think I'm gonna go ahead and sell my fursuit. Is it worth even trying to make more friends at this point or am I better off thugging it alone?
>>
>fursuit
Well that's your problem.

They felt it'd be easier to cut you off than to restore the financial balance.

100% of women kill their husband. Some of them hide it better. Look at life expectancy of single men, then look at life expectancy of married men.
