Being autistic, in therapy, studying psychology and reading a paper on emotional regulation be like: 'Do neurotypical people really regulate their emotions without knowing all this? 😳😳'

I've grown used to dreaming of my sister. Those meetings are always peaceful.
Last night, with her death anniversary around the corner, I dreamt of my grandparents. It felt like a hotline to the deathworld.
They lived in a quiet, faraway house - and somehow that image puts my mind at ease.

After replying to a message I left unanswered for a few days: "Phew, they don't hate me. I'm back on track."
Spoiler: I'm not. Never have been. There are still a dozen more unanswered messages - anywhere from three days to months old.
Maybe I'm just built for 2-3 friends and I've hit the limit? 🥲

I'm not saying the coolest thing about being hired by your partner is getting a say in your job title, but… no, wait, that *is* actually the coolest thing 😎

I have two modes:
1. Overthink everything and don’t act
2. Act impulsively and don’t think

Why is the swimming pool entrance fee system so weird? 😵💫
You pay upfront for a full hour, but that includes time to: leave your coat and shoes, find the right locker room, change, shower… then you can swim.
Afterwards, you reverse the whole process. It's never exactly 60 minutes, so...

You know what would be cool? If someone said:
'Look, Piotr, you're great at spotting when we break rules, make dumb decisions or work inefficiently. Can you be in charge of making sure we're not dishonest or just plain wrong? Oh, and we promise not to hate you for the negative feedback, either!'

I don't think I'll ever fit in. I never have.
In any hierarchical institution, I react intensely to injustice, negligence, broken procedures, arbitrariness.
I've never stayed anywhere too long.
When a powerful emotion surges, I have to uncork what I can't contain.

After yet another injustice at my uni, something snapped.
I wrote a public review listing all my grievances — including serious breaches, like a lecturer giving us the answer key during the final exam.
Will I get expelled? Leave voluntarily? Tone the review down?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Okay, do you ever channel someone else — a real person, an actor, a fictional character — when you need to feel confident in real life? I sometimes do.
Is it an #autistic thing or just a Piotr thing? It's like I have so little self-confidence at times that I need to borrow it from someone else.

Many online courses feel dumbed down. The "lecturer" apologises if a video's over 10 mins, says: "You don't need to understand this."
Some uni courses are the same: you can pass without really learning 😏
I'm taking a harder, more satisfying path: "Do I get this?" "Can I explain it?" "Can I use it?"

"Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone."
Read it 20 years ago at school - felt nothing.
Read it today and I'm having an existential crisis.
105 years later, we've learnt nothing.

no, please enlighten me: what's so great about humanity, for the world or for itself, that's so worth protecting from AI? I'll wait.

The world doesn't bend to our wishes.
People don't obey our will.
Even our bodies resist: energy dips, old habits return.
Radical acceptance: things happen, people are people.
Act accordingly.
Don't linger in I-wish land.

On Monday evening, I spotted a huge wild boar while strolling through a park in Warsaw 😳 It wandered calmly, ignoring the people around.
Last night, I saw it again - this time lying under a bush. I followed it for an hour as it roamed, dug up roots and scratched its rump on trees.
