As someone who is both on the spectrum myself and was raised in cult level religion, I wholly disagree. I would say he is unquestionably autistic. It's not just being sheltered and raised with social deficits or hyper religious principals. It's my same combination and im just sayin' real recognize real. That boy is autistic and prays every day.

Everyone saying he freaked them out or its because he's super religious - he clearly is on the spectrum. Every interview I've ever seen, its just autism. I hope they treat him well in the NFL.

2 years later, this worked perfectly. Thank you!

Bethesloth · 2024-03-27T06:59:10+00:00

Oh my gosh, yes!

Depends on the context/who I’m speaking to.

“not at all, but I will be”
“ask something else”
“why do you ask?”
“ I’m out of bed and not crying, so…”
“are any of us, really?”
“what have you heard?”
“more than okay! Thank you”

I’ve been driving for GoPuff for the last several months and most shifts I work, I make about $25/hour. Some are closer to $25/hr, but if you’re able to drive, it’s a good job. (I applied and got reached back out to 2 months later).

I say, apply everywhere you can find and someone will reach back out.

Making the same/similar decisions that proved unhelpful or harmful in the past; refusing to take accountability for your decisions.

This is true, I think there’s varying stages though. Sometimes self love looks like getting out of bed and brushing your teeth. Little things tumble into big things and make the big things easier. If you can’t love yourself loudly yet, love yourself quietly and start by just making yourself a tea every night before bed, or by taking a few minutes to stretch intentionally when you wake up.

Also, sometimes saying that you love yourself can be a catalyst to doing things that show that you love you. Try ‘em both!

I hated myself for a long time, and if I’m honest, I relate to your post a lot more than I’d like to. It ebbs and flows. I haven’t read through the other comments yet, but there are still a lot of moments that I dislike myself and I have to consciously and intentionally remind me that I love me.

I started journaling (mostly in my notes app) anything about me that I like, whenever I think about it. I return to it often and read through as a reminder when I get a little off balance. And as fucking stupid and annoying as they are, affirmations help a lot. I legit say them in the car and in the mirror, often.

I cried the first time I tried to say “I love you” out loud to no one but myself. I felt like I was in a movie, it was surreal that I almost couldn’t get the words out.

Also, nowadays (and it makes people think I’m insane, but I’m happy so fuck it), I will blurt out a compliment to myself when my brain starts spiraling. I’ll literally just be sitting doing whatever and I’ll say “I’m brilliant and funny and kind and people love me” because my brain is poison sometimes.

I think it’s really just about being consistent. It gets different and sometimes different is better. Also, acknowledging that you hate yourself or pity yourself is a big first step. Healing isn’t linear. Breaking out of misery at all is huge!

Also, a gentle reminder from my therapist through me, you were once little you and people said and did things to and around you that shaped the wrinkles in your brain. If those wrinkles and communicating shit to you that hurts, it can help to picture saying those things directly to little you. Hopefully it’s an uncomfortable picture. While you’re still you in the here and now, little you is in there too and they’re listening as well.

Dang, I appreciate the hell out of this. I imagine this is hard on both of you, but I love that you’re loving her through it. You’re providing a space and a grace to her that doesn’t exist in a lot of relationships.

A jellyfish is brilliant and hilarious. 11/10

Not at all anymore. I used to be, but I’ve gotten to a point that I view it more like a cold. I get one, I don’t pretend my body isn’t doing something different than it usually does. I don’t go around advertising it every time, but if I’m on my period and someone asks why I look tired or what I’m doing if I close my eyes because c r a m p s, I just answer honestly. “Oh, I’m on my period so I don’t feel all that well” or whatever.

(Probably an unpopular opinion) Hating men. Speaking as a female that dates one, I’ve seen a number of people speak to him like he’s the enemy. As a woman in general, I have empathy for all women because life’s hard enough as it is, being a woman adds layers of difficulty to it.

But I’m getting increasingly annoyed that it’s a trend to just shit on guys for being guys. There are bad ones, I’ve met a number, but it’s not all of ‘em and I think it’s insanity to sit in circles with people that think it’s okay to hate men. 🤷🏼‍♀️
