I never cook. I eat from cans (baked beans, spaghetti, chunky soups, casseroles). The only thing i heat/cook (in microwave) is porridge & moffee.

I used to cook potatoes & onions in the microwave. No probs with onions, as i cooked them for a bit whole THEN sliced, so that was a handy side-effect!. In the end i got sick of them sprouting & spoiling while in my house. And also they was a hassle to cook, compared to eating from the can.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. How about some fresh organic produce and no canned food and limit the microwave.

Hehe.
Things are a tad complicated for me - can't use bench, sink, stove, fridge, pantry (that covers the kitchen), as well as laundry, shower. So to eat "properly" would stress me unduly, but i couldn't do it anyway (i have a hoarder's house & can't handle change).
But thanks for the advise anyway. :)

Strange occurrence in my dream last night. I was walking by a room in a familiar building I'd been in before and in that room was a chalkboard. On the chalkboard was the alphabet. I said to myself in my dream "okay, I'll know this is a dream if all of the alphabet letters on the chalkboard are scrambled and out of order." I went out of the room and went back in and sure enough, all the letters were out of place. I should have been lucid dreaming at that point because I knew I was dreaming, but unfortunately my dream went on as usual....stupid subconscious mind.
 
I'm wondering if the attitude of gratitude is really just positive thinking, or focussing on the positives of everything that happens, instead of whining about the negatives. Eg instead of feeling irritated by 'that noisy rubbish truck', you would be thinking (or force yourself to think) 'that helpful rubbish truck' & 'the noise is a function of how hard it is working', thereby having more of a loving attitude (instead of hateful/annoyed attitude) towards it, and therefore feeling grateful towards it. :thinking:
 
TUT - A Note from the Universe

How is it <name>, that with so many brilliant beings on your planet, so few recognize that when one's life encounters turbulence, choppy waters, or setbacks, it's always a sign that things are about to get wildly better than they've ever been before?

And by brilliant beings, I'm not talking about the dolphins (this time).

Don't fight it,
The Universe

This is really, really good news, <name>.

Oh no, I am sorry. That sounds very rough. Are you on disability of some sort to help out?

leaving for work in about an hour. i think this job is god for exposure therapy because i have to be in a social setting ALL day. ....but at the end of the work week I'm pretty much DONE with interacting with people irl. ...id rather just relax and do my own thing..


iv also found that my tolerance for unkind people and rude people has gone WAY down...I was never fond of that to begin with but now it pisses me off even more when i have to be around people (except at work because its pretty much expected)...outside of a prison though I feel like there isn't much of an excuse for people to act so uncivil and rude to each other for no good reason....I can't stand that sh!t

Yep, I know the feeling very well. I used to work for the city where I live with groups of 40-45 children for 9.5 hours a day. Thankfully not all of them at the same time for the full day though. I started out painfully shy around the children but eventually broke out and become much more talkative, up to the point to where I started to yell a few times when the children's behavior got way out of control.

I don't know why people have to act uncivil and rude in public settings either. There are people that say there is much more good in this world than there is bad and that people are basically good deep down. I don't believe that. Its much more difficult to do good than it is to do bad and we all know the old saying "no good deed goes unpunished".

I'm often (usually) unhappy.

Same here. :sad:

So does that make me genetically an unhappy person, or am i still doing it wrong :question:

:thinking: Guess you could be prone to being unhappy if someone yer around constantly is always being negative and pessisimistic all the time? Then again, ah huv to live with someone who's forever complaining about how shit her life turned out, as she bares no responsibility for that, so... :idontknow:

Is not being able to read/understand people very well part of having social anxiety? I feel like I never understand other people's body language or why they stare at me or why no one really likes to engage me socially. Do I have resting bitch face? Am I hideous? Am I invisible? Do I come across as rude? The world may never know...

I can relate there. I tend be quite paranoid when people stare at me. More often than not I assume their thinking the worst of me. And don't get me started on resting bitch face. The amount of times I get asked if I'm alright when I'm not smiling... Urrgh! :kickingmyself:

I feel i can read/understand people okay, tho probably not "great". I seem to have difficulty in understanding that if i'm feeling bad, then that translates into body language, which can result in people reacting poorly to you. I just can't "see" how they can detect my inner stuff - but THEY CAN (via vibe & body language).
