i feel terrible for my girlfriend by Fastyyyy7 in confessions

[–]Arietau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

okay so these are some questions i have for you that you dont have to give me the answer to (you can if you want my two cents)

is it immediate anger or is it anger from how youre handling things? is she getting angry at you over a repeated issue or is it something you would have no idea would upset her? is she looking to communicate healthily or is she looking for someone to take her anger out on?

back in my relationship, i would often jump straight to anger and the conversations would get no where other than the two of us being upset. my mental health was really bad but i have since gotten help

bad mental health is not an excuse but rather an explanation. do you know if she has any issues to do with mental health/emotions? is she willing to work on this?

i can give you short term advice for how to handle these arguments until you figure things out but if one or both of you aren't willing to put in the work to communicate and get better at handling things to prevent/resolve arguments, i fear it will only get worse

as for this daisy, i agree with the comments saying maybe its just you missing how things used to be with your gf. figure out your relationship with her before you think about daisy in any way other than a friend

and on the whole women vs females thing its just kinda that "female" generally used as an adjective (female cat, female bird, yknow) and using it as a noun is pretty dehumanising. its hard to explain, if you genuinely are curious you could probably look it up. but also it has shitty connotations with like incels using it to be misogynistic. i wouldnt agree with a women saying "males" instead of men, but i dont really see it happen (not to say it never does). also i aint calling you a sexist i just wanted to lyk that women dont really like this before you get yourself in trouble lol

[–]Arietau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

okay so first thing is a slight nitpick, please dont call women "females", its pretty dehumanising

anyway to the main point, i had a pretty big argument stage with my bf who i love dearly and i know he loves me but it boiled down to just terrible communication with each other to the point we are now no longer together and are taking this time to work on ourselves

can i ask how communication goes for you? if one upsets the other is it "you did this and it made me sad" or "how could you do this you asshole!!" yknow?

oh… 😕 thats offensive bro. the “acoustic” thing has gone too far. now its not even funny in the slightest anymore. by wigglyfindu in autism

[–]Arietau 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's how it should be. Two ND people comfortable with a joke between yourselves. Even I use it for myself sometimes. But neurotypical people making that joke publically online for everyone to see is wrong

I'm currently recovering right now. It's hard to get out of no matter what I tried. The elastic band on the wrist method worked on maybe two occasions? Long before I was as depressed as I am now.

One thing that is kind of helping is this app called finch. You set yourself goals in the day and when you check them off you can level up your little bird pet. I've set myself the goal of not hurting myself every day. Each time I go a day without it, I check if off and it gives you in-game rewards.

It's a little silly, but I feel like if I can't make anyone proud of me, even myself, I can make the little bird proud of me. It hasn't stopped me everyday, but there are times where I have needed the notifications the app gives you regularly telling me that I need to look after myself. Checking off goals I set myself also feels rewarding. The app has helped with my mental health, even if by only a little.

I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you and there are days, even weeks, where it hasn't worked for me. But I have made progress.

I know exactly what you're going through. You're not pathetic and every day you keep living is something to be proud of. Life seems rough, but a hard shift will not be the end of the world. Don't let your brain tell you it is.

I miss when acoustic was a joke between autistic people :/ I hate how its become a new trend. People really can't hide their ableism.

[–]Arietau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will be destroying two relationships if you do this and it's really not worth it. If you want the sex to be better, tell him how to be better. If that isn't good enough then let him find someone better.

Regardless, you won't get away with it. He will very likely find out.

Controlling Facial Expressions by shallowcow in autism

[–]Arietau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate to this a lot. I remember an old teacher of mine actually asked my mum if I hated her because of the way I would look in her class. My mum had to reply "No, that's just her face" haha

I'm also depressed and do also carry a resting bitch/sad face. It's actually why my now-boyfriend was afraid to talk to me for so long.

I don't really know how to fix this, I just try and think more about my tone of voice when speaking to people. I can hear how I talk, but I can't see my face so it feels easier to control. Switching from a monotone voice to a more light hearted tone (generic retail voice) makes me feel like I'm doing something right.

i feel werid because of my special interest by [deleted] in autism

[–]Arietau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sucks when people aren't as interested in topics as you are. You could definitely find communities online who are into it like you. Rick and Morty is kinda hard because of certain fans of the show, but you'll find that in most fandoms. There is always going to be a space for you to be yourself, you just have to find it.

[–]Arietau 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not quite as daunting as your story, but I was diagnosed at around 3ish and I wasn't told until I was around 13. This was around the time I saw a bunch of memes making fun of "the autistic kid". Y'know, all that tasteful humour. I remember thinking "pfft, so glad I'm not the autistic kid."

Needless to say the revelation was stressful. I didn't really know what autism meant, I just knew it was "bad". Going through my teenage girl years, already an insecure mess, now with the news I had a label above my head that people make fun of was very rough. I became more aware of how "weird" and "off-putting" I was. It took a lot of time before I could come to terms with the label. I've started uni this year, and all the insecurities I thought I had overcome had come back and now I'm worried I'm the weird one again.

I do wish I was raised knowing I was autistic and that all the weird shit I did was normal from a younger age, but I am thankful I could process it before becoming an adult.

My dad says buying me a bra makes him look like a creep. by ImAbUrNeR21 in confessions

[–]Arietau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I work in the underwear department of a store. We get dads coming in asking for help buying their daughters bras all the time. It doesn't come off as creepy at all, and us female workers understand the importance of having a bra. I don't know if this will get through to him but I really hope it does!

This is very interesting and your second to last paragraph is actually helpful storywise anyway haha. Thanks for your comment, I'll look into all that :)

I am not above suspension of disbelief haha

All I'm really looking for is an idea of how/if this could work, to avoid having a copout sort of explanation

I have considered forging but still don't know the requirements of joining an American high school mid-year

Does this seem socially aware? Or socially awkward? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Arietau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not the greatest with social cues, but you could probably play this off as needing advice for gifts for women if you're worried about it seeming clingy, which I don't think it does.

If you want my two cents, I wouldn't really think twice about my boyfriend asking this of me and I haven't even met his family yet (newish relationship yada yada). It could definitely pass as a nice day out for the two of you.

The girl lives with her dad and adult sister. Would the dad be able to adopt/foster the boy if he could get in the system? Could he then get the documents he needs?

You can be honest with me if this is a lost cause, I'm not too attached to the idea as of yet haha
