    Yeah I try to be careful with the you sound like you might be but OP info dumping linux for an hour, you sound like you might be. RSD too, I get that, sounds like what OP has with flatmate - if you live together its okay to go a couple of days without much to say, practise your small talk if its that painful to have a slow news day for you, small talk feels weird when you dont ever do it but ‘hey’ and ‘how are you’ becomes as automatic as accidental farts after a while.

    Not necessarily autism, but I can certainly relate so maybe. It sounds like you might need to detox from the news and social media for a bit. You might need some help getting over your divorce but you have imediate control over how much politics you see. Dont believe the hype, your life will go on perfectly well if you ignore the political fanfare. You dont have a responsibility to stay informed and fight for change, that shit is optional. Just look after yourself first of all as it sounds like thats what you need right now.












  • A headache is a good indicator that maybe you need a short break from what you are doing. Its easy not to feel your bodys signals when youre busy and it takes a little practise learning to spot them earlier. I can often go without noticing im hungry when I get engrossed in something.

    Information retention; I have noticed that I have terrible short term memory, but really good long term memory - except for peoples names, I could know you for a year and still forget your name.

    Learning a language and drawing are two things that id say information collection are not really that helpful compared to just practising them. To learn japanese, speak it, hear it. To learn to draw, draw stuff. The theoretical lessons will compliment the practise hours you have already put in, but theory without practise wont make you learn them more eificiently - until you have experience to associate it to, the theory wont mean anything on its own.
