So long story short , i was told at my last job i’ve ever had that my coworkers don’t interact with me much because they don’t know what to say due to “ body language “ this same person that said that said she could tell who i liked and disliked without even telling her and when i asked how ? I don’t ever remember telling you or anyone that i disliked said person and her response again was “ body language “ isn’t it common to stay far away from people that started drama with you for no reason and almost cost you your job ? Like i’m not going to be friendly to said person that started drama with me for no reason and was cold to me in the very beginning then almost cost me my job when i finally had enough of her and called her out. i’ve been told that neurotypicals don’t like people with aspergers like me since they think that we’re blind to non verbal cues and body language. What’s the best way to learn non verbal cues and body language ? I’m happy i don’t have to mask anymore since i’m currently unemployed but that’s pretty scary to me that someone can tell that i dislike someone without even telling them or anyone. She was a special education teacher too when she wasn’t delivery driving with us and claims to have a husband with aspergers. I’ve also been told that they can read me like a book. So with all of that being said , what are the best ways to learn all the non verbal cues and body language to blend in perfectly if i ever get back to working again ? Thanks in advance

For me it’s Hawaii ( Kauai & The Big Island ), Jamaica ( esp when you get up in the mountains ) , Santa Catalina Island off California , and Mount Desert Island off Maine. I really liked Roatan as well. I want to see Guadeloupe , Grenada , St Lucia , St Vincent , Martinique , St Kitts & Nevis , Dominica , Puerto Rico , Cuba ( when the corruption is gone ) , US Virgin Islands ( esp St John & St Croix ) , British Virgin Islands ( esp Anegada , Jost Van Dyke , Tortola , & Virgin Gorda ) and various other islands. What about you guys?

Hello everyone , i’m so looking forward to visiting your scenic state again! I’m so thankful to have family in Maine but they’re unfortunately not avid hikers like me and my grandpa are , when i visited several years back we mainly did sailing , explore portland , explore bar harbor , and take side trips into NH since my other grandpa who has been to Maine several times really wanted to see NH as well but this time we will be staying in Maine the whole time thankfully! I already have what i want to show him in Portland and Bar Harbor each but i will take any other suggestions if you want to drop them in the comments but , what i really need is some extra opinions on which of these trails i should introduce him to for the first time , this is my opportunity to show him how much i appreciate that all he’s done for me , my siblings , and his other grand kids over the years. After looking at a bunch of different maps for Acadia National Park , Baxter State Park , and Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument i have so many trails i want to do but can’t decide. We are experienced hikers , we take trash bags with us and pick up all the litter we see , and we have experience hiking really long strenuous trails! For example , we hiked up the summit of mount big white in Kelowna , BC 2 years ago which is 7,608 feet and mount katahdin the highest summit of Maine is 5,267 feet high.

1. Acadia National Park Trails i’m interested in:

The bar island trail at low tide , breakneck road for breakneck ponds , carriage road at witch hole pond , carriage road at eagle lake , cadillac mountain via door south ridge trail , penobscot mountain trail , bald peak trail , kane path trail , west side trails near beech mountain like the ( beech mountain trail , barnard mountain , trail to the notch , and mansell mountain ) , aunt betty pond carriage road , ridge trail & eagle craig loop , cadillac south in the otter creek area , duck brook trail , and Jordan pond trail.

2. Baxter State Park Trails i’m interested in
   Sandy stream pond , chimney pond , hunt trail up to katahdin peak ( this one for sure ) , south turner peak , and the owl trail

3. Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument trails i’m interested in
   Orion Falls Trail , Trout Brook Area , Sebois River Trail , Lunksoos Mountain , Deasey Mountain , Peaked Mountain , and Barnard Mountain

we’re staying for 10 days. I would love to see some bald eagles and ospreys while up there. I’ve done my research and it seems that black bears and moose both are gamble and way shyer in Maine than they both are out west or the smokies regarding bears. Puffins would be cool too

Side Note:
Sorry for any grammar and punctuation errors. They’re not my strong suit like spelling is. I’m doing my best to get better with time. I will take down this post too after i get some opinions from people who know these 3 areas better than me so that these trails won’t get blown up on social media

Thanks in advance

Hello , i’m 26M , i recently moved here about 2 years ago and have been looking forever for clubs or meet ups that see geared towards meeting other hikers , kayakers , camping , or even hunting and fishing. i haven’t had any luck finding clubs or meet ups in college station or the surrounding area that are geared towards those interests. The only ones i could find are affiliated with Texas A&M. So is there anyone here in their 20’s or even early 30’s that are interested in kayaking the local waterways or hiking ?

Thanks in advance

Side note:

Sorry for having to make this post again from a new account. My old account had too many psychos and trolls throwing hate at me left and right due to having Texas in my username

I’ve also looked into the Brenham , Chappell Hill , Navasota , Anderson , La Grange , Somerville , and Giddings areas. I didn’t bother with Madisonville , Centerville , Jewett , Marquez , Normangee , Hearne , Calvert , Franklin , Marlin , Groesbeck , Mexia , Kosse , Coolidge , Caldwell , Cameron , Rockdale , Buckholts , Or Milano since the original 8 areas including College Station / Bryan didn’t give me any good results.

i want to learn how to spot women from miles away that love to play games and get on the apps for attention and play games in real life too. What clues do they usually give to make those toxic traits noticeable ?

So i met this girl like 2 weeks ago we hit it off instantly , no joke or false assumption literally we had everything in common. I even let her do all the talking. She could talk. i’d only talk if she asked me something or i had something to add after she finished talking. We hung out for almost 8 hours , it fr was like the perfect first date , she was comfortable enough with me to let me drive her around and even when we got to the drop off site where i meet her and drop her off she said she definitely wanted to meet up again due to how much he had in common that she had a really nice time followed by smiling , waving , and hugging me before we departed our ways. She’s a foreign exchange student that’s moving back to her home country for the summer and out of no where said i’m not looking for anything right now more than a friendship which is fine with me but gosh damn it took her like 3 days ( literally ) to get back with me. Those 2 days of no answer my head was spinning 1000 miles per hour literally lighting speed and my head just wanted to explode , the pain was so unbearable i just wanted to stick a k***e into my head.

I meet this other girl a week later that i also hit it off with , we were supposed to meet tomorrow but out of nowhere she started ghosting me. She was a very blunt type girl calling me things like uncle , dad , hun , and handsome. She flirted with me constantly and really insisted that we meet up tomorrow but is now ghosting. I’m not as hurt by this one as i was the first one. This one is way more manageable but still so frustrating

I masked for so long to try to be accepted by my peers that i don’t know the real me anymore. I started masking when i was 13 entering the middle school world , i only stopped masking recently at aged 25 since i don’t have a job anymore and i feel so much freerer tbh but also lost. Honestly masking only worked for a few months to a year then those people turn out flakey. At this point i don’t mind staying home 24/7 with all these mind draining , constant negative experiences. How do i appreciate loneliness again ? How do i stop caring to have friends ? How do i stop desiring to have a girlfriend ? I want to be happy 24/7 again like i was in elementary school age and younger than that.

Thanks in advance

I grew up watching fox and the hound ( 1981 ) and only the original. I didn’t care for the sequels. The original was one of my absolute favs growing up. For years i’ve been trying to find out where exactly in the appalachians this movie is based in or takes place in and what real life waterfall and lake were the waterfall and lake scenes with the mean bear toward the end of the movie based on ? For example Brother Bear is based in Brooks Falls with all the scenes involving the salmon run , the lion king is based in Hell’s Gate National Park , and Bambi is based in Baxter State Park Maine. So with all of that being said , i would be incredibly thankful if one of you can tell me what state the fox and the hound is based in and what real life waterfall and lake were the waterfall and lake scenes with the mean bear toward the end of the movie based on ?

Thanks in Advance

I grew up loving the fox and the hound movie even tho it is very sad tbh. i’ve always wanted to know too what real life waterfall and lake the waterfall and lake scenes toward the end of the movie with the bear were based on ? For example , brother bear and the lion king are easy enough to find where they’re based at exactly especially certain scenes for both movies. So i would highly appreciate it if anyone can tell me where exactly in the appalachians the original fox and the hound ( 1981 ) is based in and what real life waterfall and lake that the waterfall and lake scenes toward the end of the movie with the bear are based on ?

Thanks in advance

Every time i make a new account i get disabled with a appeal option after following a certain amount of people. After following a certain amount of people on insta i get the message saying “ we limit how often you can do things on insta to protect our community “ i understand that they need productive , strong measures against spammers , bots , and trolls but i took a few years break from insta and want to get back on it so i can keep in touch with friends and make cool nature videos. So annoying dealing with this ban. I finally decided to appeal 3 days ago and nothing has been done yet lifted or rejected. What do i do ?

26M here. I want to know what i’m doing wrong on the dating apps convo wise. I really suck at texting or any online form of communication. I hate it tbh! If only all my friends were still single and their wives friends still single with the majority of them either being married or taken so i have to rely on the apps for now. So , is there anyone out there aged 20-32 that’s willing to talk with me thru PM on what i’m doing wrong ? i won’t post it out here in the open. If i find out that you’re younger than 20 or older than 32 you will be blocked. 1994 to 2006 babies only

Thanks in advance

I loved Apocalypto ( 2006 ) , Gladiator ( 2000 ) , Braveheart ( 1995 ) , and The Last Samurai ( 2003 ). I didn’t like Gladiator 2 ( 2024) I would love to see something else like Apocalypto ( 2006 ) made involving Native American Culture. I always thought they should create one for the aztecs or incas. Any native american tribe really. What about you guys ?

I’ve seen The Bear ( 1988 ) , The Canyon ( 2009 ) , Into The Wild ( 2008 ) , Backcountry ( 2014 ) , The Revenant ( 2015 ) and yes i’ve seen man in the wilderness ( 1971 ) , Jeremiah Johnson 1972 , Apocalypto ( 2006 ) , Alaska ( 1996 ) , Far From Home The Adventures of Yellow Dog ( 1995 ) , Swiss Family Robinson ( 1960 ) , The Edge ( 1997 ), 127 Hours (2010 ) , The Adventures Of The Wilderness Family ( 1975 ) , The River Wild ( 1994 ) , and Rudy Kipling’s The Jungle Book ( 1994 ) the live action one.

I DIDN’T like the movies The Dawn Wall ( 2017 ) , North Face ( 2008 ) , K2 ( 1991) , The Mountain Between Us (2017 ) , Vertical ( 1967) , Valley Uprising (2014), Chasing Ice ( 2012 ) , The Summit ( 2012) , Cold ( 2011 ) , Everest ( 2015 ) , Alive ( 1993 ) , Wild ( 2014 ) , The Grey ( 2011 ) , Cast Away ( 2000 ) , and Life Of Pi ( 2012 ) . So please don’t suggest those.

The hunter becoming the hunted like seen in Apocalypto , and The Bear ( 1988 ) would be a plus as those 2 were my favorites

Thanks in Advance

I’m 26M. My interests are traveling , finding random swim holes off google maps , hiking , kayaking , hunting , fishing , towed behind boat activities at the lake ( tubing , kneeboarding , flyboarding , and sit down hydrofoiling ) , jet skiing , wildlife viewing in their natural habitat at various places across the US and rest of the world and learning about them as i make lists of their historical and former ranges , where the best spots to see them currently in their natural habitat are , etc.

I’m curious to know if there’s anyone else out there with aspergers that also enjoy these activities and are even in the same age range ?

Thanks in advance

If so , why did they do it and how ? and how did if affect you and everyone around them personally ? i think about doing it myself very often but , am told living in a very christian area that i will go to hell if i do so for eternity that it’s an unforgivable sin , like why is it an unforgivable sin instead of a opt out of life i can’t take this anymore kind of thing ? sometimes i get so stressed out that it feels like my brain wants to explode into pieces to the point of where i can’t even sleep , mental health issues are very brutal , mind draining , and overwhelming tbh it’s not really that i want to commit suicide i just want to be free from these problems i didn’t volunteer to deal with or be born with

Thanks in advance

26M here , i met this girl for the first time last week that i really ended up liking and i’ve never had this strong of feelings after the first date for any girl , we instantly hit it off , we had so so much in common it’s as if i did meet my other half, we literally hung out hours and hours that day. i’m a 26 year old virgin that suffers from aspergers , social anxiety disorder , depression , and epilepsy. So , yes i am a kissless virgin that’s never had a true girlfriend just been on several dates only for them to all end disappointedly. i feel like the biggest loser. It’s as if i was born just to be the punching bag , laugh , unloveable and disliked person by all the people around me. Since she hasn’t responded to me for 3 days since i’ve last texted her trying not to appear desperate or insecure , my mind is racing like 1000 miles per hour with my brain wanting to explode and i will do anything to get out of this. Suicide can’t be the only way out of this problem. I need some honesty and constructive criticism. I will take all insults thrown at me at this point. I’m not mentally ill enough for people around me to not use my failures and struggles as laughs. i don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t take this pain of disappointment much longer. I’m ashamed of these handicaps of mine and being a kissless 26M virgin , i’m the future 40 year old virgin. They made that movie about me. All constructive criticism , honesty , and insults are welcome at this point.

Thanks in advance
