First, I feel that I have to repeat and stress again that while I don't mind an occasional joke, I'd like this thread to stay on topic as much as possible. Yes, I know I am guilty of going a bit of off topic at times, but I want to repent as well. As Koryuu and Eprlide have noticed, it's becoming too hard to keep track of this thread. I also feel there are too many short messages flying around. I'd say that, as a rule, if your post is shorter than one paragraph, and if it's doesn't contain either (an update) of your story, or some advice/comment on someone else's story, then it would probably be better to send it as a private message in stead, or "save it up" until you have enough on-topic material to include with your jokes.
This thread is a great thing but I want all of you to keep in mind that the goal is to let people tell their story and to listen to them, and that may become too hard if there is too much jokes and other off-topic stuff flying around. Please use private messages if you want just want to joke, banter or fool around. This thread will soon reach 2000 messages and I'd like it to stay mostly readable for the people who come here to talk.
Myshina, Mr C.I.P. is far worse than I could imagine. He seems to see you just as a thing, not as a human being. That's not even infatuation, it's trying to use someone combined with clumsy attempts at manipulation. What a disaster. Anyway, I hope it will be solved in a positive way for you . As for him, I really, really, hope he will see the light, but the more I hear the more I doubt he will... So let's just say I hope he'll leave you alone and then someone will do to him what he tried to do to you... Also, I hope that this whole story hasn't dented your belief in man and mankind too much. As you can see from this thread, there are plenty of decent people and guys out there, and you're bound to meet someone who is good for you.
You seem like a nice young lady, but I guess that may have the unfortunate side effect of you seeming attractive to men with bad intentions who hope that you'll be an easy target. I guess that makes it harder for you, since you have to be extra careful and filter out guys like Mr. C.I.P., but at the same time not reject clumsy guys with good intentions. We men often complain on how hard it is to find a good girl, but you ladies don't have it easy either. Keep going at it, I'm sure you'll find someone who'll make you happy.
Walrusfella, while it's good to keep going at it, it's also important to remember that "Insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different outcomes." Even if they cant provide any feedback on why they rejected you in the end, you must have some gut feeling about the interview and the resume, and how you could improve this. In the job where I was hired, immediately when I walked in they told me "We really need someone like you" and the rest of the interview was more about them convincing me to work for them.
That's because I had a good resume that fitted what they needed well. So I'd say, keep at it, but also continuously evaluate your approach. Try to learn continuously, and if your current approach doesn't work, then try to change it and see if that improves anything. Perseverance alone will get us nowhere, it also takes the willingness to learn and change if needed.
Eprlide, thank you for your story. "In this world are many like me who've killed their emotions. Don't forget that." - Shadow from Final Fantasy VI. Play that game if you don't know it. I imagine that for people with autism, emotions can be difficult to fathom. But that doesn't mean you should be afraid of them. The fact that you experienced some emotions playing KS means that you too have them. Perhaps it's time to explore this uncharted part of yourself starting fro today? Who knows what wonders you will find?
Edit: as edited in the first message of this thread:
I'd like to add this guideline for this thread: your message should be at least one paragraph long, and should contain either your story, and update on your story, or comments on someone else story. Jokes on the side or off topic remarks are OK, but I'd like to see at least one on-topic paragraph in every message in this thread. Thank you very much.
