you def got the autistic part down. now you need to learn people, emotions, charisma.

If I may be autistic for a moment, read up on mindfulness meditation. It teaches you how to be present in the moment. Being present is the key to charisma. You learn how to be present in the moment with your body, you learn that emotions exist in the present, you learn to be present with your emotions, you learn to be present with others emotions.

This is the just of a heroes journey I experienced. If I sound like I'm speaking nonsense, it's because you don't have the emotional understanding to relate to it.

It’s not as difficult as you making it out to be bros. I used to be and think like you’s and still kinda do. I do go out with my mates pretty often so it makes it easier but they all have gfs and don’t really talk to women while out. One Saturday a couple of months ago thought fuck it and went out on my own into the city for a night for the first time ever. Ended up having girls approach me , which has never happened before when out with mates, and ended up getting a girls number. Just when you go out on your own make up some bullshit excuse as to why you’re out alone. My bullshit excuse was that I was at a family event earlier in the afternoon and have some mates meeting me out for drinks later in the city so Instead of ubering back to mine and coming back out later I was just chilling on my own for a few hours. Actually worked a treat and didn’t make me seem like some weird loner. You just then have to not be some weird autist when actually talking to people which is easier said than done. When things are going good that’s when you say some bullshit like “my mates will be here soon I gotta go, was nice talking blah blah blah heres my number, would like to go out for drinks/food with you sometime soon” Results surprised me a lot.

It's the school. My experience wasn't perfect, but I never dealt with half the stuff people complain about. The cracks mostly showed with white teachers and went away when I turned in superior grades (or, worst case, aced the AP/standardized tests after underperforming in the classroom). Top 10% GPA in my school (senior class sent people to every Ivy and most top engineering programs) and top 5% SATs nationally. This, in a county that's known as a joke in the area. It was a magnet school-within-a-school, which I think is the best model. And the most important thing for outcomes generally (not mine specifically, I blew it in college) is having the school attached to some institution: a university, a research lab, a construction firm, anything productive that kids can be sent to get real-world skilled experience as part of the curriculum.

and
>Recognize when you're in a hostage situation.
In this case, you're not being held hostage by a person as much as a thing: your brain. "But anon, I am my brain." No, you are a thing that exists inside of it, but you don't have control over the neural connections it makes and the pathways it forges. If you did, I suspect you wouldn't choose to be depressed. You're ultimately going to have to bring your own mind to heel if you want to get out of this alive. You can do it, I believe in you.

The show is hard proof two generations exist within the Millennial structure.
Pre-internet Millennials and Post-internet Millennials.

Kevin is a pre-internet Millennial growing up in a post-internet Millennial world / Generation Z world.
Technically, Generation Z was between 1 and 4 years old when the show came out.

The creators were born in 1966. That technically makes them Gen X, but if you've ever met 60s Gen Xers, they're essentially Boomers. These guys wrote for Seinfeld (Boomer humor designed to appeal to bitter Xers) and the Simpsons (same). The main characters were in the mid-20s in a show set contemporaneous to the pre-Y2K era. If you know anything about Millennials, you know that they were largely in some form of school on 9/11, kindergarten-undergrad. The vast majority of them weren't watching Mission Hill. It was supposed to appeal to people in college or just about to be out, the people who'd grown up on MTV cartoons and The Simpsons. Gen-Xers.

MH doesn't have the irreverence and surrealism of early Millennial adult cartoons (Futurama, Family Guy, etc.). It's concerned mostly with poking fun at people younger than the creators, which is a Boomer trait and something Xers had been Stockholm Syndromed into "liking". It really doesn't say anything about Millennials at all.

IF you're cool, normal, and maybe somewhat good looking, go lie on your resume after watching some youtube videos and land a bartending gig.

Only other way would be to get Tinder/Hinge dates and ask off the cuff. I think it's gone past the point of leperacy to not be vaxxed, so not being so is indicative of more of who you or they are, and if she reacts saying "SCHIZO SCHIZO", then you save yourself 20 hours of hassle. I guess you could always be flirty about it, like "oh you're NOT vaccinated teehee", but that can be a double edged sword.
