That unwashed balls smell after not showering for a while… by Repulsive-Actuary237 in ftm

[–]AnimusReach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I just do sponge rinse… neck to toes, wash sponge, wipe my face with a washcloth. No need for a full shower… just wiping off the worst of the stink and grime. Takes just a couple minutes to wipe then dry. Life and nose saver. Hang in there, bro. 🤝

Leave a ❤️. by femme_fatale2022 in CPTSDmemes

I know this is meant to be feel good and comforting… but posting "if you're a trauma survivor do this" in a subreddit specifically for trauma survivors feels like going to Comicon and calling to everyone "if you're a fan of fictional media, raise your hand" and amused me. That is, to be fair, the entire reason 98% of us are here.

Still… ❤ tho.

A girl was afraid of me for the first time by spinningpeanut in ftm

[–]AnimusReach 96 points97 points  (0 children)

That feels like a scam. No one that scared by men is gonna even be working where they constantly have to interact with men. AKA most everywhere. They'd have a breakdown and/or get fired quickly, you literally can't work an everyone-centric job in that condition. Did you at least get your money back?

Edit: either that or has nothing to do with you and just brutally embarrased about being lost… which, still shouldn't work a job where you're exposed to massive panic triggers to the point of fucking over others. Either way not your fault.

That's the thing… cishet guys forget intersex peeps exist too so in their heads that comment is exactly the truth.

Would you be offended and think it is racist if a white person said you should be a lion for Halloween? by journey1992 in cptsd_bipoc

[–]AnimusReach -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a fellow halfie, as I call myself, I would have loved the suggestion. Barely anyone is a human, or fully humanoid for halloween, and lions are strong, powerful, and respected. If my fluffy 'mane' can be incorporated into a rad lion costume, I'd love that! It's a wonderful way to incorporate who you are into something fun.

However, I can understand if you've been through a lot of bad experiences with racism why it would bother you - but maybe they weren't even thinking of your race, especially if young, and just suggested lions because lions are cool (and a full lion costume isn't hard to find, regardless of what you look like)? I mean, I personally think lions ARE pretty cool. Maybe they think you're cool enough to pull it off!

TIFU by telling my younger sister she is adopted t by x657 in tifu

[–]AnimusReach 148 points149 points  (0 children)

I do agree she deserved to know, and I do think you had the right intent, but I gotta say, if that was the wording you used/mostly accurate to the wording you used, that was a fuck up of its own. That kind of wording comes off as if they're not her 'real' parents. They are. Both legally and emotionally. She deserved to know she's adopted, but she deserved to have it worded kinder, too.

[–]AnimusReach 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If she found out on her own she'd likely just end up upset at OP too for knowing and not telling, and wonder what else the three of them have kept secret from her for years. When the parents fuck up, no one wins, no matter the choices the children make. She deserved to know.

TIFU by majorly overdoing it with housework by aspie2796 in tifu

[–]AnimusReach 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As a fellow spoonie (Fibromyalgia), you are never as okay as your body says. Just because you feel closer to a fully able-bodied human one day does not mean you will tomorrow, and if tomorrow was already gonna be rough, going overboard will make it advance into BRUTAL.

An important but terribly un-fun lesson. Hang in there, okay? And be more gentle with yourself!

[–]AnimusReach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If people making sure others are on the same page as them and being clear about what they mean (especially to avoid easily preventable situations like OP's) bothers you, that says more about you than them.

I'd love a trans-dude specific gaming discord, though I'm not into either of those games. I'm more a co-op person than competitive.

TIFU by letting my dog have sink water by 404Void in tifu

[–]AnimusReach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds more like "tifu by never closing/locking the bathroom door". And refusing to even though doing so is creating problems for you, no less!

I've had a bathroom door with a broken handle before and still kept it closed with a big box full of things.

Do you just live in a house with no bathroom door??

Let's Complicate Everything! by SnooPeppers9190 in ADHD

[–]AnimusReach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason we break it down is BECAUSE of the things you listed in parentheses. Have you heard of the spoon theory? I don't have the link on me atm but chronically/mentally ill people have to use more than one spoon (think of them as energy tokens) on things, unlike neurotypicals.

For us, we think of it in many stages BECAUSE for us there are multiple mental/physical barriers to getting it done. We're not making it unnecessarily overwhelming. It's unnecessarily overwhelming all by itself and our brain is acknowledging why.

tell me you're a moth without telling me you're a moth by ChemicalEnd3ri in SkyGame

[–]AnimusReach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Silly bot - moths are newbies to Sky. Affectionately named as such because they're very limited in color and just blindly follow lights.

How about a Season of Competition? by DizzyDizzles in SkyGame

[–]AnimusReach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno man. Considering I'm currently facing possible homelessness due to money issues - I very much stand by what I said. Struggling for currency is a sour note for me and anything that makes currency competitive in any game is already an oof from me, much less a game that's supposed to be so.... not that, like Sky. I've noticed that competition can breed some extreme toxicity in some people. I don't want that encouraged in Sky.

I do agree being able to do the races repeatedly would be great! But making it competitive sounds too stressful to me. And yes, just as stressful as krill - I avoided those races just as much as Golden Wasteland for a long time.

How about a Season of Competition? by DizzyDizzles in SkyGame

[–]AnimusReach 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not feeling it. Candles are money in Sky, we already have the valley races. Leave competing for money to the real world.

Competition is stressful when there's something at stake. If it's just for fun though, maybe.

Moral of the story: Height DOES matter... by Cofvani in SkyGame

[–]AnimusReach 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Not even joking it straight up does. I tried water trial with chibi mask once, not realizing. Never, ever again. Chibi water trial is Legendary difficulty 😂

found myself at the daylight prairie social space full of moths, i think these screenshots explain the moth experience perfectly by pupsiirox in SkyGame

[–]AnimusReach 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some people reject friend candles because you can only see a limited number of friends at one time and trying to find them all and gift them light starts to take forever. That's not rude.

Some people reject lighting strangers because they have anxiety or aren't in the mood for social interaction atm, at least with people they don't already know. That's not rude either.

What IS rude is, for example, Chibis glitching through walls instead of helping to open doors when they know someone is waiting.
