Occasionally I have these days where I don't feel like doing work or chores. So I'm thinking, why not just enjoy myself, do something that interests me?...
@Aurenkin oof that's life, yep.
at some point I realized I'll "make it" but it doesn't get better, so …
so nothing, I guess.
I've been through every selective neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor, and they pull off the amazing feat of being habit-forming drugs that do not actually help one feel better.
Now I wonder if C.S. Lewis was Autistic?
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." @actuallyautistic
I had another million dollar idea. Start manufacturing reusable substitutes for plastic junk. I cook, and try to reuse the packaging my foodstuffs come in, but why not glass/ wood/ metal/ silicon permanent solutions? Most people see a difference between an old pickle jar--trash--and a glass jar with steel lid they bought at Sharper Image, so make some money selling them one.
I need a place to store 20lbs of rice and 4lb bags of beans.

Ah the old "reuse" of the three Rs. That was a really big movement in maybe the 70s in the US. It's why a lot of grocery stores still have a "bulk" section where you can bring your own container. People forget, or don't manage the logistics of bringing the right containers, so a lot of grocery stores don't do it anymore. If you could provide a service to outsource container management (+ convenience and savings) then there's a business.

Unmasking means prioritizing my own comfort to target typical expectations of comfort.
Unmasking means redirecting my sense that others value my normative behavior to an expectation that others value my wellbeing.
Is somebody ever completely demotivated with everything? How do you deal with it?
