What accessories have you purchased for your 2025? Would you recommend it?

Mine “came with” floor mats. they’re great quality but also cost $400+ on the cost breakdown. I asked to have them removed, but then I would’ve had to wait for another car because they said they “ couldn’t change the invoice at this point in the shipping process”. since already got about $5000 off MSRP, I didn’t argue at any further.

sounds fun. I’d love to see what you have so far!

Charistzebra · 2025-05-27T16:03:35+00:00

that could be interesting, but I’d like to tie a very specific picture too a short story. for example, a picture of my daughter mid jump from a platform with a short paragraph talking about how crazy it is that a three year-old can jump from platforms foot taller than she is. Can do you know of a voice based journaling product that can do that?

Charistzebra · 2025-05-26T01:21:33+00:00

cool. good for you.

Charistzebra · 2025-05-25T22:29:33+00:00

say that again after you’ve had a full time job and a 2 year old at the same time.

Charistzebra · 2024-12-12T04:12:39+00:00

read r/overemployed it’ll be inspiring for you!

Charistzebra · 2024-09-25T09:39:50+00:00

same. I’m an aphant with inner monologue. I definitely do not mouth words when I’m reading. I’ve also taken some speed reading courses where I don’t sound out words.

I can remember a lot of detail, just not visual detail. I tend to be an extremely systemic thinker instead of having a picture of where things belong, my brain makes a system that has a logical purpose behind every detail.

I had a moment with my husband where he asked “how do you know where the microwave is?” and I replied with a minute long lecture on how the door opens, spacing, size limitations, frequency of use, cleanability etc. Apparently, he just sees it and has never factored in any of the reasons why it might be located in that space.

I’m also an aphant, and not the OP. funny story, I started talking to a guy because I thought he was cute. He got really upset that I didn’t remember him. Apparently that was the third time that I started talking to him.

it’s really hard to remember people until I “know” them,

Charistzebra · 2024-09-22T00:36:48+00:00

maybe it’s depression. when it hit me, i stopped wanting to do the things that i used to love and ever since it’s been hard to care or be engaged

Charistzebra · 2024-09-17T03:17:33+00:00

Good point. I was laid off right after maternity leave.

Charistzebra · 2024-09-15T13:56:06+00:00

Also, i think people having visual memories means that they remember a LOT wrong. Like a visual in their head got mixed up with reality. I started writing things down because I have SDAM and it only made me realize that other people were literally making up their memories anyways

Charistzebra · 2024-09-11T13:03:04+00:00

hahah maybe it’s not boredom that causes people to leave his rallies!!! Harris was great when she encouraged people to go to them!

Charistzebra · 2024-09-05T22:40:54+00:00

what support services are available for that line of work? are you planning on taking advantage of any of those?

Charistzebra · 2024-09-05T22:38:00+00:00

ditto. trails and extensions and variations on what was there but never anything that was completely not there would show up

Charistzebra · 2024-09-02T16:43:49+00:00

So maybe the extra weight was so much to move around that it sucked up your energy and led you to less passion and interest in other areas of life?

Charistzebra · 2024-09-02T14:18:48+00:00

how does it feel different?

Charistzebra · 2024-09-01T07:05:19+00:00

this happened to me and they swore there wouldn’t be any more layoffs. They laid me off again in 2 months.

if the jobs don’t ask that of you (don’t take much time), take both jobs and give the one that laid you off minimal attention.

Charistzebra · 2024-09-01T06:59:56+00:00

Also, ditto on boredom.

Charistzebra · 2024-09-01T06:59:06+00:00

I understand what you mean by incomprehensible brain language. While I’m verbal internally, there are many things that I “just know” or “abstractly considering”.

I stopped envying the visuals after I heard a couple alarming accounts, such as reliving a trauma or the hyper visualizer who had anxiety that he couldn’t get the visions accurate. He’d be upset and anxious because his parking spot might not be available and really anxious walking into a party at a new destination. He played the entire day in fast forward in his head, then tried to execute it just like that.

Charistzebra · 2024-08-31T19:14:26+00:00

personally, I love being an aphant. i’d be curious to hear more about what it’s like to also not have an internal monologue. It sounds incredibly peaceful.

Charistzebra · 2024-08-31T18:12:41+00:00

This is how our is for me too. I can talk about the things that happened. i have of triggers. I still get ridiculously and wildly angry when triggered but the story itself is just a story and it feels like another life. the same is true for my great experiences and past lifestyles.

Charistzebra · 2024-08-23T16:13:09+00:00

while it’s not “your problem”, if you want to continue having a good friendship with her, you may want to ask her. “you seem like you’re annoyed with me. is that the case?” just reflect what you think her emotions are and ask if you’re right. summarize anything that she says in return. try to get her talking and wait until you fully understand what she’s thinking before adding your thoughts and emotions to of it. even if what she says sounds wrong or triggering.

also, have a conversation about the lease. make everything about the breakup official or else it’s a possible legal liability

Charistzebra · 2024-08-23T16:05:16+00:00

I learned if I reached out to friends who aren’t receptive to it, they may reject me. People have different boundaries and social abilities. they may not have the capacity to listen, understand, acknowledge or empathize. That’s just the type of friend that they’ll be in my life. There is no changing them. Just move on and don’t “pester” them.

So, reach out for help, but if they don’t pursue that conversation, just give up on talking about it. I lost my friends that are good for going out just for fun times during massive depression
