I've never managed to fit in to standard jobs for long. I'd try, wear myself out trying to conform to their rules and procedures, to get all the work done that they said was so important, and watch the other employees around me do less and get away with it and be rewarded. 1/3

Really bland questions that keep coming to mind… (philosophical)
What is work?
Do you ever feel vagueness from words like “community”? (Wondering if Im the only one who feels a lot if vagueness from words that don’t seem vague to others…)
I have started talking about “meaningful activity” to mean my term for work to direct neurotypicals closer to my level of meaning. What do you think of when I say “meaningful activity” over “work”?
What is your comfort level with money? Mine is poor whenever people talk about earning it. I feel aversion.
I hate applying for anything… paperwork… I like filing away books for satisfaction… And doing care packages for meaning… and dancing for smiles and realized purpose.
Im a poor fit to run anything or be anything unfortunately…. I like to learn…
Doesn’t matter. Im still not able to self actualize. Still getting denied for Developmentally disabled services. Still in extreme poverty because I cant get out of it.
