You grown, so do with your money what you choose. What mama and papa don't know want hurt them. Keep in mind, this is your life and you got to be happy too, fam.
I say go for it since it is your money and you are earning it. you can buy whatever you want
I lied. My Mom was against it but my Dad said I could buy whatever I want with my money. I assumed my Dad was against it before but that was when I asked him to buy it with his own money. But my Mom just said she’s still against it to an extent despite the fact that whatever my Dad says goes. Any advice?
She is just being a mom and trying to protect you. She is familiar with your autism and it is probably coming from that place, just of worry. You are an adult though. She might be disappointed if you buy it but she will move on. Your dad is clearly not worried.
My apologies, I just saw this, fam.
One way that helps is just by starting up small conversations with people. If you are waiting in line at a store and someone is behind you (or in front of you), just say Hello, how's it going. This helps build up confidence to start speaking to more people.
For example, I was checking in to a hotel in Jacksonville last year, and I stroked up a conversation with the clerk by complimenting his hair. I admit, I was jealous because I used to have nice hair myself, but my jobs have required me to keep it cut short. Anyway, we had a conversation about what he wants to eventually do with his hair, and how I wore dreads (with facepaint) during my football days.
Also, you can get online and look for classes to sign up for. Im not talking about school stuff, I'm talking about a cooking class or something like that. You can meet a lot of interesting people in those things. Attend community events, and people will talk to you if you seem approachable. By that I mean, smile and walk with your head up. If you stand in the corner with your arms crossed, people will see you as unapproachable.
Its OK to stutter (dealt with it myself whole life) and appear nervous. You will gain confidence in time.
I'm going to agree with @Swamps.
I met two of my best friends in lines. One I met in line at comic con and the other in a pit at a concert. So you just never know, your friend might be just around the corner.
I used to be extremely shy and a loner. What broke me of my shyness was a few near death experiences. After that talking to people was easy. Now I can strike up a conversation with ease. There are a few times I can still be shy but it isn't as bad as it once was.
I have to recommend you read this...
He has a YouTube channel, might want to check it out. This book helped me overcome my struggles.
P.S. I never had any social media account. I use message boards though.

It's okay. It just means you have found Mrs. Right. I'm looking for Mrs. Right myself. It just takes timeMy girlfriend experience is unfortunately exactly zero.
Guys, I need advice.
I have OCD about my video games. It got to the point where my parents forbid me to sell any of mine because I kept buying and selling them. Sometimes I end up recycling some of my video games I don’t want anymore without their knowledge. Part of the reason they’re so strict about it now is because I can’t drive due to my autism.
Anyway I did some research on data retention of video games recently and I found out that Gameboy and Gameboy Color games use read only memory and save their data on a save battery which is renewable, and many later console games and handheld games use flash memory which lasts longer but lose the ability to save at all and can even stop working altogether in the case of DS and 3DS games.
Anyway, I want to sell all my video games and just play GB and GBC games for the rest of my life which I know for sure they’ll both be against. I’m also not as big of a gamer as I used to be and I just want to play video games everywhere I go from now on instead of being limited to playing them on the big screen. I also want to go back to my roots because the Gameboy Color was my first ever console. How do I work around this without their consent because I know they’ll notice my consoles disappearing if I just threw them away which they would be furious about.

They are just video games, I don't understand why they care what you play or don't play.
Don't throw games or consoles away, ever. Just pack them away. Get one of those storage totes (made of plastic) and just put them in it and store it away somewhere in the house so they are out of sight and out of mind. This way it won't bother you and if they ask, they are just packed away.
Alternatively, you can tell them it is bothering you and ask if they can pack them and put them away so you don't know where they are. Retro gaming will always be a thing and you could eventually be able to sell these items for good money down the road so they are all worth holding onto.

They have asked me if they could do that for me before but I always turn down the idea. Unless I pack them away so I can end up selling them.
I want to figure out a way to sell them without their help. Like asking my aunt to drive me to a local Game Xchange (even though she lives in a different county we’re all moving in together during summer of this year so I can ask her then), or asking a self owned premium transportation service I’m loosely associated with (I don’t have any income at the moment but I will be working in the beginning of March).
I feel like part of the reason they don’t want me selling my possessions is because I think they have this weird idea that my games are also their games for some strange reason, like they’re part of the family’s even though in reality they’re entirely mine and they don’t even play them with me at all.

When you are working, you can ask people at work if they would be interested in buying anything. It is probably easier to find someone at work than it would be to find a store that would buy the stuff. Most of those shops will rip you off anyways.
Are you just wanting to get rid of everything or is this about money?
