A quick definition of arbitrary trademark:

An arbitrary trademark is a special word, phrase, or symbol that a company uses to show that their product is different from others. It's not a word that describes the product, but it's a made-up word that the company uses to make their product stand out. For example, the word "Apple" is an arbitrary trademark for a company that makes computers and phones. It's not a word that describes the product, but it's a unique word that people associate with that company. Arbitrary trademarks are very important to companies because they help them sell their products and make money.

A more thorough explanation:

An arbitrary trademark is a type of trademark that contains common words that do not describe or suggest any characteristic of the product to which the trademark is assigned. This type of trademark is inherently distinctive and requires no proof of secondary meaning, making it entitled to strong legal protection.

For example, the trademark "Apple" for computers and electronic devices is arbitrary because it does not describe or suggest any characteristic of the products. Another example is the trademark "Amazon" for online retail, which is also arbitrary because it does not describe or suggest any characteristic of the service.

Arbitrary trademarks are different from descriptive trademarks, which are meaningful words in common usage or that merely describe or suggest a product. Descriptive trademarks are only entitled to protection if they have acquired distinctiveness over time.

I have "operator syndrome" which is VA for a lot of TBIs, everyone is a little special but also being social sometimes just sucks. Not everyone is wired to be a super extrovert and it is okay to be less social

you can have a sense that you’re different from other people and don’t fit in or don’t understand them without being autistic I think

Everyone is different from other people and fitting in is something that is always a challenge, your people exist just got to find them. Social skills are just hard

@llama: I wouldn't call it that, being self aware or believing something is a problem means you have the ability to fix and change it. If you wanna be more social you can find a way. if it is anything it is envy from social media and just comparing yourself to others.

You just have the hobbies and traits of a girl with autism plus the brain power that goes with being an autistic savant. @babycat
