I wholely recommend climbing/bouldering walls. Gets you fitter, most people are super friendly and if you pick a regular day you'll meet people. Most of them do a intro to climbing course where you can meet people and then a beginners or intermediate weekly session where you can meet people and get some guidance on getting better

It's not just about taking on advice. It's having different views points and trying to understand how others who also have autism see it. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what is said on here, I have to decide what works best for my situation but having more information and how people see it, allows me to understand it better.

Hey, I know that all relationships are different and I'm not looking for direct advice, but just curious as to how other people have experienced this.

My partner has audhd and has said many times that I am their safe person. They struggle making friends and don't have much of a family so (to me) a lot of pressure has fallen on me in that role.

I am looking to step away from the relationship but whenever I talk to my partner, she follows our conversations with a meltdown and says she doesn't have a safe person and doesn't feel safe any more.

Can anyone explain their experiences with this and things that may have been helpful or things that made it worse?

Thank you

I am buying a house because fuck landlords. I'm being kicked out of my place by 'no fault' and I've had enough of living at the whims of another money hording person being a dick.... Ok rant part over... This new house is old and a bit beat up but solid enough to start a life in. It also has a big (by my standard) garden which I have no idea what to outside of just 'plant stuff'. I don't have measurements or know the size of anything, but I want to somehow give some of my space to those who don't have any and make it a place to share. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

Climbing/bouldering. As a not overly sporty nerdy type, I found this to be amazing. All the climbs are called problems and require you to think about how you're using your body to solve them.

99% of the community is amazing because it's not really a vs sports in a traditional sense. It's you vs the wall and even if you do something that is 'easy' for someone else if they can see you tried hard they will be pysched for you.

There are lots of beginner groups and meet up days or if you go on regular days, you'll end up talking to the same people about the climb you're doing so you build friendship as an adult which is difficult otherwise.

Also it's not in front of a screen which I love.

I'd try looking for your local gym and doing the intro course and seeing if it vibes with you.

I'm also from the UK. Could I ask for a recommendation and price range for your panels? I love the idea of it and know the upfront costs are high but haven't actually looked into it.

I feel like I always think of solar punk as a macro thing where a lot has to change but there are still smaller wins we can implement, what have you been doing?

I just don't understand how people can just listen to the lies again and believe it. What is wrong with my country

Because it already takes me so much time and I feel so 'behind' on books, I have a weird mental block to going back instead or instead of reading new things. I do now see what people collect books though 😂

So I have 'just started reading'. After a lifetime of being dyslexic and thinking I disliked books, I've realised that if I find something in my wheel house and with a little perseverance of getting over the inital hump, I'm really enjoying it. However a few months after reading a book, I've kind of forgotten the finer points and details I enjoyed. Does anyone write up books they've read and what tips have you got/do you have any templates?

But the problem is the same problem it's always been with UK politics that first past the post doesn't actually allow for any change or for the greens to get in. Kier has always advocated for proportional representation but got in because of FPtP so has gone silent on it as will all people who get power through a broken system. So the greens will get fewer seats and not be able to make any change.... Maybe I'm just cynical of the government here.

'Crazy' cat ladies are a literal stereotype. If you're a house cat, there's someone out there looking for that vibe

What are your interests? If you already have interests that's a great start. It might be difficult in your area to find women who like the same shit as you, but there will be some. And if you're going out only trying to talk to 'ugly women' as you said, they will get the vibe that you think they're ugly and not wanna talk to you. Every women can just be a friend the same way you have make friends. Start by trying to increase your friend group with both genders and I'm sure you'll find someone you're interested in and who's interested in you.

I'm a musician and that doesnt play much any more. I actually found something from the good old days of reddit when cleaning my parents house... A CD.... That was sent to me by a stranger from reddit as a music swap. I think the idea is awesome and as much as I love the ability to listen to everything streaming, sitting down and listening to that CD invoked amazing memories I forgot about, and I even found a few bangers I didn't vibe with all those years ago. Long story short, I wanna do music swaps with people and not just playlists, actual physical music. Don't know if anyone will read this or how I would even physically send someone music now, but if you're interested post or DM me and we can figure something out!

By stepping back into an abusive relationship and not knowing how to get out without fear of the person committing suicide and leaving 3 children with no parent.
