My parents still think I'm gonna become a normal.

IYC?

My mom sorta has some vague hope, but rolls with it. Her being a widow for ten years with an army of orbiters behind her doesn’t help her role model status and she freely admits it.

No. My parents aren't normal so

>>211733161 (OP)
Nope, my parents gave up on me by the time I turned 30, and they no longer ask about girlfriends/work/love/etc.

>>211733297
Nor are mine so they expect me to break the cycle.

>>211733297
>>211733338
same, but it took me several years to understand this truthbomb.

>>211733338
Well that's on them. You can't expect one generation to undo all of my family's history

>>211733161 (OP)
On the surface I am a normalfag and do/have normalfag things. Deep inside I have "big plans".

>>211733734
elaborate on your plans

>>211733161 (OP)
Thankfully they gave up on me. I can finally just relax in peace without being grilled about getting married and having kids.

>>211733161 (OP)
Now that you mention it, it's been awhile since my dad last talked to me about "meeting the woman of my life"
I hope he gave up

I feel very fortunate that, with a sole exception, no one in my personal life ever expressed any strong interest that I should do any of that with my life. The sole exception was grandma, who during my teens would periodically ask whether I had a girlfriend (yet). She stopped asking not because she realized that it just wasn't going to happen, but rather because she took a steep decline into dementia during my late teens and early 20s, precisely the time when normies expect of themselves and of each other that they have some sort of partner.

>>211733766
Why would I do that?

>>211735252
better than go fuck yourself, i guess

Mine finally accepted my autism
feels good bros

I feel terrible for laughing at this

Ehrm, care to elaborate big guy?

>mom's a narcissist who's idea of the "good old days" was beating us kids and then laughing about it
>dad was absent most of the time and when he was around he'd also beat us kids but never mentioned it
>somehow this "thirdie treatment" worked well on 3 of 4 kids; my siblings
i've resigned myself to being a fucked-up loner all my life but for just once i want to feel loved, but i know not everyone can get that, and even less deserve that

The timing was rather convenient, in a way. No one else in my personal life has ever given me any crap on the subject. The parents seem to be satisfied that I live as an independent adult and that I handle all my basic adult business all by myself. Once in a great while, a brand new hire at work, who knows nothing about me, may ask whether I have a wife/gf and/or kids. I politely reply that I'm a bachelor. Then they never bring the subject up with me ever again.

Nope. I've gotten brown fever and there ain't no stopping it.

Normal in sweden is autist here. I suffer as an autist

Aren't Portuguese people kinda gloomy and introverted too? Not northern Europe-tier, but still

>>211736012

Scandinavians are way too social its just that people arent friendly with strangers
