I dont really like that I really wish it was me, damn I really need to meet people

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

go out and try. just earlier today I said the stupidest oneliner in person and got a response.

you miss a 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretzky or somebody

then I spoke to someone on a busy commuter train, and learned something new. a view I had never considered before.

I know it's hard,as someone who has personally suffered from exclusion and depression before.

but worst they can do is ignore you or spit in your face.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's all very true but I do like a girl right now, she lives on another continent though

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

Yeah thats an autistic goth woman. They're magnificent

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 70 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This is my dating strategy, just exist and hope one day some alt girl just decides were dating now.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

As much as I don't want to go back into the office I must admit I never meet people anymore. I don't know how I would meet anyone new if I ever needed to.

My partner is literally the girl that I sat next to in the office seating plan 10 years ago.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 3 days ago

Yes, I am indeed this introverted

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

That's a similar experience to how I met my partner. We never really talked about it, she was just there now.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 133 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I'm not entirely sure what this says about me, but this is exactly what I want out of life.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 118 points 3 days ago (6 children)

If you meet a vaguely autistic hottie who is into you, under no circumstances fumble. I don't usually feel qualified to take my unsolicited life advice that seriously, but I mean it this time.

Sorry to hear about your small head.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 37 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Yes, BUT I unfortunately can't stand the cigarette stench.

I have zero game and no clue when it comes to signals.

I need this kind of woman, one that will be forward me.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 105 points 3 days ago (8 children)

"Game" doesn't exist. Clean yourself, be respectful of others, talk to people. That's the entire game.
You just lost the game btw, but that's to another point

Game exists, its a skill though and you can learn it by trying. Just requires the courage to try, fail, and try again. That said its really just charisma, and you can learn it by learning to non-flirtatiously chat people up.

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (11 children)

My 'game' issue is I kind of break down when I speak to a girl I am interested in.

I get so nervous and overthink that I stop functioning. I run out of things to say and the conversation just doesn't flow. I put way too much pressure on myself and it is extremely difficult to break out of it.

But if I speak to girls I am not interested in, then I am more myself. No pressure, not trying hard.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Hormone driven anxiety. You don't actually like those women. You haven't spoken to them so you don't know if you like them. You horny them.

Jerk off before you leave the house. It'll help.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 14 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Stop talking to women as if you're trying to get into their underwear. Speak to them like someone you want to be friends with and if there's interest both ways something might happen and it might not happen and that's OK because you made a friend.

Definitely Fae if she lives on black licorice, that thing is absolutely not meant for humans

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shit, in the netherlands we basically live off of that stuff. The per capita consumption is two kilograms, which puts ut at the tol of the list of global consumption.

Every supermarket pretty much has an aisle dedicated to licorice in all forms. Sweet, salty, spicy, soft, hard, dipped in chocolate… you name it.

I’m amazed some people don’t like it. Though I’ll concede I’ve obviously grown up eating it since before I could talk.

So... how hard is it to visit these legendary isles, I mean... country...?

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Licorice is wonderful. When I was a little kid, half the reason Halloween was my favorite holiday was because there were packs of only orange and black jellybeans, the only good flavors.

Panda licorice now, it's amazing. At our airport there is an all licorice vending machine, all different kinds but of course since it's in an airport it's expensive.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

I know there's like a billion jellybean flavors but if the orange one you speak of is also orange fruit flavor, it ranks low on my list. Unlike licorice though, it's edible.

Black licorice is S tier, especially the good and plenty variety

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sure... I'm proud of my comment, I'm now making a list of all the Fae users of Lemmy. You guys can't trick me now!

Avoids sunlight, literal-minded, and hisses at strange women?

I'm not trying to be mean, but she's probably on the autism spectrum. My girlfriend has it and this is her to a T.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 12 points 2 days ago

There's nothing saying being Fae and autistic are mutually exclusive conditions

Same energy as an unhoused cat choosing its new home.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 5 points 2 days ago

This is my dream girl.

Of course I'm not a Chad with a huge melon.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Damn 5heads, taking up all the possible fae.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 45 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This is my partner, minus the goth (her thing was hip-hop).

I wonder just how many times people on the spectrum were looked at as "Fae".

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 24 points 3 days ago

I've definitely seen claims that the idea of "a far stole my baby and replaced it with a changeling" could have been caused by ASD.

Direct and to the point. Not many can boast to be this good at communication.

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 3 days ago

Kind of brought a tear to my eye

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 13 points 3 days ago

Can we collectively applaud this? Because I think it deserves it.
