    My desire to understand what happened during my upbringing in a heavily religious envrionment.

    It engaged me for a desire to understand, not just science, but people, anything was an escape from this dogma.

    I’m really enjoying the science side.

    But I realise I have major untreated Trauma and I’m scared of dealing with it. It’s my “Elephant in the room”.

    But I thrive off it, it’s like an energy core within me, like this ANTICORE.

    Great introspective question causing me to reflect, but an answer I’ll respectfully reserve for myself.

    Found computers very interesting. Broke them. Watched how to fix them. Broke them again. Fixed them myself. Rinse and repeat.

      My PC can be considered a veteran after surviving so many crashes caused by overclocks and my shitty mobo that supports my CPU with a tiny asterisk…

    Disliking big tech and corporate social media isn’t a personality… that’s not you. That’s just shit you don’t like. There are tons of people that are nothing like you that dislike the same shit.

      Lol, here’s me spending 15 mins composing myself and you just straight up said it.

      Props to you stringere.

      This is what I said:

      "My desire to understand what happened during my upbringing in a heavily religious envrionment.

        You said it a lot more eloquently and provided more context, though, and I appreciate that.

        My upbringing and events that happened during childhood really led me to a parh of compassion and gave me a drive for self reflection amd betterment. Seeing ignorance and blind faith cause so much pain and suffering really made me want to make things better in the world. I hope I’ve done so in my little corner of it.

    Loving parents and growing up in a small town, a 10 year failed marriage that resulted in 3 kids I love to the moon of which 2 of them are on the spectrum. Many failed relationships.

    I’m proud of the man I’ve become at 49 years old.

    Probably undiagnosed mental illness. I spent 30+ years as a round peg trying to fit in a square hole, until I realized one day that the way I like to be is fine and I should enjoy an existence that fits me.

    My dad sketched while I was a kid and I liked how it looked so I tried to copy it. Ever since then, I’ve been drawing and I love it
