Interesting. How do you think thats your advantage?

I'm HFA, so sometimes lack of empathy, sometimes better understanding of things in general, a little bit like "the good doctor", can be rather strange to neurotypical, but it often does the job

My hair turns copper-gold in the summertime when I'm out in the sun for a few days in a row.

I don't feel any part of me that itches to make posts like this on the internet, and I appreciate that advantage.

I don’t have any part of me that itches

Having travelled a lot, I feel I was born into what I consider a great country just as it was starting to pull itself out of poverty. Pure chance.

I got a good education and college was essentially free.

I have a lot of kids and work really hard at being a good dad so I am surrounded by love. I am very lucky that I am married twenty years (some better than others) to someone who still loves me and who I still love. Some days that love is all that keeps me going because fuck me I am exhausted haha.

I feel uncomfortable typing all that out but it's a good exercise in thankfulness so thank you.

My dad died back in 2016 when I was 25 so I got an early inheritance to invest at a good time.

20-something English-speaking cis hetero white American male, stable supportive family I keep strong ties with, four-year university STEM degree, gainfully employed at a low-stress job full of people I like that affords a comfortable, reasonably above modest lifestyle, no outstanding debts, no severe health issues or crippling disibilities.

I've certainly won more than my fair share of cosmic lotteries, all things considered.

Only thing I guess I'm missing is a partner, which is entirely due to my own lack of effort. So far sailing solo hasn't bothered me any. But I do occasionally daydream about what I might be missing out on...
