The longer I deal with my current legal b*llshit, the stupider I feel for ever pursuing romantic relationships

My current legal bullshit has nothing to do with romance. It's about large remittances, tax exempt income and expired contracts incurring fines.

It's just that it's glaringly obvious to me that even this activity, as stressful as it is, is more enjoyable than romance.

No matter how bad things get in business, you always have control. In business, people can't just decide and randomly harm you. You can't be randomly put in jail. Even during my communist Czechoslovak childhood dealings with the secret police, they could at best threaten to lock you up in a mental hospital. But you had to actually psychologically break down for them to be able to do it. If you didn't, they were forced to stick to increasingly empty threats.

There are always things to do. Chances are that when the situation looks hopeless you are probably just poorly informed or inarticulate, but then you can hire someone to do that for you.

Romance sucks. No matter what you do or don't do, people will come around when you're happy, dump their traumas on you, then cheat on you and blame you for that because you were not being happy and obviously everybody hates to be around people who aren't happy. And then to top it all off you have to speak to a shrink who is typically dead set on making you believe this relationship scam all over again.

Why the hell does our culture insist that we must look for fulfillment in romantic relationships? In being nice and vulnerable to someone, hoping they won't abuse that? How's that even fulfilling? It sounds more like naked shorting if you ask me.

I think my life feels so fulfilling because I know a lot of assholes. I'm serious.

Intelligent people who can have an actual conversation tend to be assholes. That's because when you're intelligent, you notice things. Some part of intelligence is said to be genetic, so unfortunately you are with it before you become independent.

And when you are a child who notices things, you better become an asshole otherwise the adults in your life, who typically pretend to be authority figures on very little to back that up, will abuse the living hell out of you.

Intelligent people who are genuinely nice are, by the time they reach adulthood, too traumatized from all the gaslighting to have an opinion about anything. Or worse yet, they will treat you like assholes, on top of being mind-numbingly boring, all the while not having the emotional capacity to admit to themselves that they are in fact as cruel as their original childhood abusers.

Personally, I prefer genuine assholes, and a military-grade system of boundaries.

*heavy exhale* This felt good.

To the love of your life, when you meet her

I don't speak to my family except for legal matters or when someone dies. It's been like this for some fifteen years now, which is about the half of my life. My uncle died, as it turns out. Hadn't thought of him for years. Suddenly I was faced with the gaping difference of my opinion of him as a child versus now, judging from the same facts. Yes! He's dead and I'm going to speak bad about him. Shocking, I know. Earlier this year I met a woman who reminded me of my cousin. I never meet women who remind me of her! A butch but soft-hearted lesbian with a buzz cut. When we were kids everyone thought she was a boy. This woman was just like that, even the stories she shared about her family were quite familiar. It's been years since my cousin got her heart broken. The love of her life, possibly. They were so good together, I enjoyed hanging out with them together more than with each separately. The girlfriend broke off the engagement because my cousin's family...

Some light bedtime reading: "Why does he do that? Inside the minds of angry and controlling men"

That was probably the most validating book I ever read. Would definitely recommend this to every autistic or ADHD person regardless of gender. This validated my worst fears but you gotta face them including the empirically very evident fact that therapy does not help. As the book puts it, when someone abusive goes to therapy they will leave as a "very happy and well adjusted abuser " because therapy focuses on validating people's feelings and giving them unconditional acceptance. But the only thing that works on abusive people is giving them consequences: Dump them. Report their threats. Report their violence. Report their stalking and coercive behavior. This is why abusive people usually put most effort into those who are marginalized, isolated or illegal immigrants: The chance that they will be reported is low. If you put an abuser into therapy, he or she will get an insane amount of psychological tools they will use against their victims to gaslight them, and to p...

How to stop being harassed by racists [guide]

I bought a large black leather shoulder bag, solid construction, well known brand, obscenely chunky (and heavy) handle made of a thick metal chain bathed in 24k gold. When I'm wearing it, street harassment is gone. I went with a regular old brown leather tote today, to test my hypothesis. Slurs are back. When I'm wearing something posh, people see money, and they don't even look further as they assume that abusing me might actually come with a punishment. When I'm wearing something understated, even if it's in fact more expensive, people look at me . When they look at me they see autism in my face, except they never read it as autism. They think, This woman is sad. (sensory issues) Probably abused by her boyfriend. (not making eye contact) Probably a foreigner (general "different" behavior, happens also where I was born), but not rich ( dressed casual) - she's light skinned though so she can't claim racism. She's not gonna do anything ...
