I've been told by a psychologist that I am "twice exceptional," meaning I am gifted in intelligence but have several learning disabilities so it is hard for me to use my intelligence.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? What has your experience been like?

How old u senpai?
I was called an asspie in grade school but I was smart enough to fake being a normie really fast. Now I actually have empathy and inflection in my speech and shit.
If you're as smart as you say, just keep on trucking. You don't get close to peak smarts till like late 20s.
Idk people always told me that I was smart but just didn't put in the effort. Perhaps it was true. I always got bad grades but I tested well. Also was diagnosed with ADD at one point.

I'm 25 and I was evaluated when I was 20. I did okay in high school without any accommodations and now I have just an AAS. I kind of fucked up after high school as did many of my male friends.
Goddammit am I frustrated and confused. I really love life, but I'm fucking lonely and lost. I have one great friend, but he's far away and not enough. I want more intimate human contact, but I feel like too much of a weird person to take the necessary steps. See, I spend so much time alone that I've grown a little out of touch, socially. I don't think I'm autistic or anything; in fact, I think my emotional intelligence is pretty strong, and lots of people that I've known closely, whether my few past friends, or teachers, or coworkers, have described...

pt. 2/2
My one source of pride is that I recently moved out of my parents' and into a new city in a new state to start a new career (US merchant marine) that is very challenging but that I've done pretty well in. It took a lot of planning and determination (I had no connections or experience), but I did it and it's worked out. I work a rotating 4 week on 2 week off schedule that I hope to use more for travelling in the months ahead. Of course, having this unusual schedule doesn't help with my isolation, and I plan on probably trying a new career in...

stop being you and be a normie like everyone else. you'll have friends and gf but you'll hate them the moment you think about it enough.
but seriously, it's hard to find people on your wavelength if you're a bit odd. personally i just enjoy being alone and on the off chance i find some good company then it's all good. got some decent friends, 6 of them. then maybe 20 or so "friends" that i could have fun with at any time. personally i'd rather have more of the former....

Thanks man, and good to hear from you.
I strongly agree about being comfortable with solitude. Maybe my post was misleading, but I *am* comfortable with being alone. Most of my hobbies (reading, walking, biking, cooking, gaming) are solitary, and I really like them. I'm perfectly content spending a day by myself.
But I *do* think I would benefit from having some more friends. It's just that, as you may know, not having friends can make it hard to make friends. I'm trying to break out of that cycle, but it's hard, and I wonder if these other issues in my life are to blame. (Maybe I'm just a huge pussy afraid to make himself vulnerable).
I have 4 hours (plus maybe about 20-30 minutes if I'm lucky) to write a huge essay on some shit I know nothing about, you are the hero I need 4chan.

It's be helpful if you said what the essay is supposed to be about
>>16925315
The Jamaican boa constrictor (its habitat, needs, life choices, thoughts on chocolate milk, etc.)
What's this shit about, anon? We will write the essay for you, paragraph by fucking paragraph, and it shall be the greatest essay ever shitted out by the Internet.
I will preface this by saying I'm in my university's pep band. Say what you want, but it's really fun and has a lot of perks. Anyway
I met this band girl on a trip(we travel for tournaments), and we had pretty good chemistry (I could see her laugh, always a plus), but I was half in half out on being attracted to her. Not gonna lie, and this is pretty shallow I know, but she was fat and I feel like that was the main reason I was on the fence. I've been thinking about her a lot, like, I would want someone to want me for my personality so am I not totally...

*make instead of see.
Your college relationships probably won't be what lands you in a perfect marriage. I would try with both girls. Seriously. Don't just try and have sex with every girl you meet, but don't be afraid to hang out with multiple girls at a time and get to know what is out there.

sounds like fun, no judgment here brochacho.
>I feel like, I could 100% make it happen if I tried for it, and that the relationship would be really rewarding if I did, but should I?
Listen, man, you can calculate the reasons why a relationship would or wouldn't work as much as you want...

So today after eating, my wife's alarm for birth control went off. Her and I have our phones schedule to ring at 9 pm everyday. When the alarm went off she was playing with our dog taking pics with him on snapchat. I told her to take the birth control once she was done. I then went to do the dishes. We laid down to watch a movie but I knew that she might of forgotten her birth control because she just kept on playing with the dog. I told her " did you forget anything" she just went silent for like 5 minutes and then went to take it. I got furious and decided to...

Make her change birth control method, if she's THIS forgetful.
IUD would need to be changed once every three/five years.
I am VERY forgetful and I never took the pill because of it.
>So reddit, am I being an asshole? Or do I just need to handle my situation better?
Yeah, regardless of whether you have justification to you be annoyed (which, I think you do to a degree, but not at all to the degree you're exhibiting, and you also married to chick and knew all that going in), the truth is you're kind of being a patronizing asshole.
Even your tone in this post screams condescension--you're not talking to your daughter (even if you were, that's fucking horrible) you're talking to your wife...

Her gyno told her that if we had rough sex it could fuck up her insides or go out of place and that to replace it is on us.
