Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Are you autistic? It can make it difficult to fit in if you're not registering social archetypes or performing them in ways that help people "get" you in a glance. Sucks but generally people tend to decide how they feel about a person within 30 seconds of meeting them, usually shorter.
Also, the only thing I've learned about Nordic culture is it can be kind of easy to be seen as self centered. Like apparently you generally don't bring up money or finances casually because it implies things. You know, just little rules that must be easy to trip over. But being an attention-seeker there seems like one of the more transgressive kinds of ways to be perceived. You might be signaling something on accident.
Thanks. It's cuz I talk about myself so much when I want an outlet for my emotions. And yep, I am autistic
That'll do it. I hear they process a lot of emotions in complete silence, that would be kind of hard energy to try to match.
I'll sub to your com though 👍 I'm learning Norge on the side of another language and it could help my dad and I practice
Whoa tusen takk! Norsk er et vakkert språk!!!
Vaer så snill! 😀(I haven't learned språk yet)
It means "language" :D
Oh, by the way, I'm talking about Americans who treat me so badly
OH! That really changes things. Americans are the most self centered people I know and usually become easily enamored with people who only talk about themselves. But we're also pretty awful to autistic people. Yeah you might not even be breaking any social rules. I'm sorry, dude. Run, if you can
Thank you so much :) I try to be the best I can and I want to move to another country but I'm stuck with family and no job and they want me to stay in the USA
