Search Results: changing the world

I’m 40-something and tend to talk less than my dates, which is all good. I don’t talk about myself a whole lot and have weird ideas about how the world works, and understand that most folks are not really interested in hearing them. Again, all good.

I understand that for younger folks, listening and paying attention might not be so easy, but I don’t want to date younger folks. I want to date full-blown adults with adult manners and respect.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but I feel like asking someone to not randomly change the subject while I’m in the middle of talking is akin to asking someone not to put their hand up in your face while you’re talking.

So what exactly am I missing?

Okay, no war will ever be declared on an African country, by the West, as Africa is unable to defend itself against a Global superpower like Canada or America. But let's just say that Uganda refused to change their Policy to accommodate the Western world concerning The Bill, Would The World Hate America for Nuking a Ln in Armed and Military useless nation?

I am Neurodivergent. For those who need a brief understanding, it's a word to describe people with neurological disorders that changes the way they view, interact, and live in this world and the people in it. Things such as Autism, ADHD, and others are grouped into Neurodivergence.

This world was not built for neurodivergent people. And as a man, I'm not seen as being "manly enough". I'm seen as "too emotional", not stoic enough, worry too much, too weak, seen as lazy for not being able to withstand way more than a typical man can.

This also goes with relationships or finding them. This goes with pre-conceived expectations at work. Out in about in public. Trying to socialize.

People have these expectations and they expect and want me to be like everyone else. They try to "give me advice" on things I'm not doing well enough or demonize me for being different. Both men and women. And I must ask, do I need to? Do I need to fit into these molds made by society for a typical man just because I maybe "high-functioning"? Am I exempt from the standard molds and can just make my own?
