Autistic adult here. I love being alone. Since 2020 (pandemic) I have spent both Christmas and the new year alone at my home with my cat. I just cooked something special for myself and acted like it was a normal day. Also I sent messages to all my friends wishing them happy holidays.

I have to admit, though, that this year I felt a little lonely, so I decided to visit my family again, but only for Christmas. I want to spend the new year alone, otherwise it would be too much time surrounded by too many people.

In reddit there was a thread at AskReddit about terrible things that will happen soon but very few people knew about them. It was an anxiety-inducing thread that got thousands of upvotes. So I decided to create the opposite: a thread about GOOD things that will happen and most people are not aware of them. It reached hundreds of upvotes and comments in 1 hour before it was deleted by the mods because “it broke the rules”.

I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves.
