  • I’ve had these. Usually related to those I am close with. Dreams of bad things happening to them or dreams of intense jealousy. They make me wake up in a panic. I’m 37 now but only been getting help I the last year or so.

    My therapist advised me that (at least in my case) these don’t nessary reflect who I am in waking world. the reasons these dreams disturb me is because they counter my views of myself.

    It’s like if I dream of myself committing a grievously violent murder and I wake up disturbed. That doesn’t mean I have a desire to hurt people it means the opposite.

    Your own case may be different but you can’t really stop bad dreams. Dreams are a symtomn of bad sleep so you can work on improving that. What you can do is learn how to process a dream and have it affect you less negatively.

    Good luck.









  • I’ve spent 2 months transcribing an entire poorly written text book into a Google doc. I’m now taking that transcription and having chat gpt rewrite it all for readability. All so I can maybe pass certification exam.

    The problem is less with us and more with academia having developed an highly oppressive way of writing things. But from my perspective it’s just sloppy unreadable garbage.

    AI has been great I can just give It the promt “make this concise and readable using only common language” and it will take entire chapters down to simple point form lists for me.

    I also use goblin tools for writing.

    I provide my usual advice. Volunteer. It’s local, you meet people, usually the kind of people who Volunteer for things (meaning good people). Even if you don’t find a date it can build your social network which will help.

    As for specially fellow Ace people you may try pride, or LGBTQA+ events. Somtimes (the ones that accept us) will have some Ace representation.

    One alternative may be to look in the Nerodivergent spaces, if you happen to a part of that community.

    Not to assume. But someone back on reddit mentioned that a study had shown disproportionate number of us are in the autism spectrum. This is true in my case and with the few other Ace I’ve met offline. When I eventually get back into dating I may give Hiki a shot along with the volunteering.

    Comming from a simular situation. So the best I can give is my own story.

    Nearing my 40s. More of a rimworld/minecrafter. Every day off work, every waking minute im in a game.

    short version of a long story. I’m experiencing huge life changes. Therapy and friends convinced me to remove one of the major causes of my isolation. And with it going away I saw just how isolated I actually was all this time. I saw how badly it has affected me. The negativity is part of that. It’s like a symptom of isolation poisoning.

    I feel for the first time that I’ve wasted so much time. I didn’t value making friends or seeking a life parter. Though having made a friend everything changed.

    Honestly the desire to play games is fading and it now feels bad to play games all day. Making a real friend who is postive made me want to be more positive i leared that it’s a genuinely good feeling.

    Isolation is comfortable but it comes at a cost you may not see. It’s good to go out and get some perspective occasionally.

    Often me. I make tools/interactions for learning management systems. So the back end is a thid party I have no controll over. Just take the api and make the magic happen.

    You need me to save data somewhere but don’t want to buy server space? Sure we can cram that into places it’s not ment to go within the system. It will slow things down and likly cause issues but it’s free.
