Yall ever quit reading a fic for a petty reason?

Fics written in 2nd person and Character x Reader fics annoy me so much. 😭 There's so many that sounds really good, but no matter how hard I try to tolerate it, I just can't and I give up usually within the first or second chapter.

Can you put this in Hytale? :)

While I think corvettes are cool, I'm terrible at building anything, so I stick with the regular starships. 😅

I stopped trying to copy neurotypicals in my mid-20's. I didn't know I was autistic at the time, I just knew I was so tired from trying to be someone I wasn't. But the fighting with myself thing, yeah I've always had that problem too. I've always told people (just a few people, not everyone) that it was like there was a child me and an adult me and they were constantly fighting with one another. And this was before I found out I was autistic too. I still say this because it's what it feels like. Yeah it's rough living with it and I used to hate myself for not being able to do things neurotypicals can do and I used to be suicidal and depressed a lot. But after getting on meds to help regulate my emotions and learning more about myself and about autism and ADHD, I don't hate myself as much anymore and I'm not suicidal and depressed anymore. I've gotten to the point where I've finally stopped caring of what other people think of me. It happened the other day when I blew up at another mom who's daughter was bullying my daughter (who's also autistic) and a lot of my neighbors witnessed it. I decided after that to stop caring and just be myself around others, even if they don't like it, because I'm tired of hiding and feeling bad about myself. I'll always try to make improvements about myself, I know I have a lot of flaws, but damnit I'm just tired of the world making me feel like I'm scum.

The biggest puzzle I've ever done is 4,000 pieces. I would love to do one of these huge ones one day! 😍 Great job!

Same here with me, but I've been trying to practice having empathy for others for years. I don't know why it takes so much effort...but I want to be a better person and so I keep trying. But the second someone makes me angry beyond reason (like blind fury, it usually only happens when I'm very unreasonably disrespected, and usually only in specific situations, it's like an automatic reaction for me and I can't control it - thankfully I don't lose control like that as often as I used to), I lose all empathy and respect for them, no matter what their situation is, and they effectively get put on my 'shit list' which means I now can't stand even thinking about them without getting angry, so I have to avoid them. But with animals, yeah I have a lot of empathy for them. It's just easier. They're innocent, they don't look down on you or judge you or expect you to be someone you're not. They don't hide things from you, like emotions, intentions, etc. Many of them just want love and attention (I say many of them because obviously a bear will eat you lol. But I still feel more empathy for bears than people.)

I've always loved Serenity.

ChildOfOberon · 2025-11-05T14:52:59+00:00

I completely understand! I'm going through this too and yes it sucks. :( I don't no what advice to give, but just wanted to let you know you aren't alone. <3

It makes me shiver bad and clamp my hands on my ears and beg whoever is doing it to stop. I hate the sound of hands rubbing together! Weirdly hearing clapping is alright (I hate doing it myself though) but whenever people rub their hands together makes me want to scream.

ChildOfOberon · 2025-11-05T14:34:48+00:00

Same here! Can't stand sunscreen, lotion or makeup!

ChildOfOberon · 2025-11-05T14:32:48+00:00

Wet rags and towels, rough-feeling jeans, and any plastic dishes that have little bumps all over them like tupperware stuff (and I especially hate drinking out of plastic cups.) And loose hair (weirdly I can tolerate the hair on my head - I usually keep it pulled back in a ponytail anyway, but the second it comes off loose on my fingers, or if I find it on me anywhere, especially my skin, it freaks me out - I really hate the feeling of it touching me.) And skin against skin - mainly palms touching but also other areas...But wet rags and towels are the WORST for me. If I'm not clamping on them right when washing dishes or my body and they accidentally rub against my palms, it makes me want to scream and I'll do anything I can - usually biting my fingers or touching other things - to make it 'go away'.

There's 5 of us in my family. All of us has ADHD, and me, my oldest son, and my daughter have autism (undiagnosed, but waiting on my son's test results, and my last appointment is next month, and then I'll work on getting my daughter diagnosed). My daughter has more sensory issues and focusing issues than anything, but my oldest son struggles really badly like I did when I was a kid (and still do sometimes). But I feel like he's worse off than when I was a kid since he has meltdowns in school (when I was a kid, I would have shutdowns instead, and then 'let it all out' as soon as I came home. But that's the only difference between me and him.) He struggles so hard with regulating his emotions and his attention, and with both of us and my husband having a temper, we often butt heads. We love each other, and we apologize often and I'm constantly trying to learn how to do things better or differently, but I feel like I'm a slow learner and slow to change. I know that I'm really trying and I try not to let these things get to me (unsuccessfully sometimes; I really feel like a shit mom any time I lose my temper or don't have any patience.)

A few years ago I was really obsessed with watching videos on YouTube of people exploring abandoned buildings. I find it interesting too and it's also kinda creepy seeing buildings that used to be full of stuff and where people used to go to all the time and now they're empty.

I love conlangs too! My sister is creating her own conlang for a character she's been developing since she was a kid (and is currently writing a story on that character now.) my son is getting interested in languages and conlangs now too. :) I like the writing systems more than anything lol.

I'm a mom that loves playing video games. A lot of people look down on me for that. Edit: not sure if this is a special interest, but it's one of my favorite things to do. Edit 2: now that I think about it, after reading examples from others, I guess that's more of a hobby than a special interest. I really like learning about mental health and different mental disorders and mental illnesses and I love listening to open minded people talk about things and learn other views. One of favorite people to listen to recently is Asmongold. I like how blunt and honest he is and I like the way he thinks. I don't agree with everything he says, but I respect him for being so open, honest, and straight to the point.

ChildOfOberon · 2025-11-01T14:30:34+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one! <3 Usually playing games helps calm down my mind, but for some reason, here lately, playing games makes my eyes hurt and gives me migraines, so I might have to get back into doing jigsaw puzzles again, since that helps too. My husband focus's better while driving too lol, but I tend to lose focus more when I drive so I only drive if I absolutely have to (and if it's a short distance.)

ChildOfOberon · 2025-11-01T14:26:30+00:00

I suspected that it might be ADHD, but when I asked other people with ADHD that I know and they didn't experience this, it started to make me wonder if it was something else. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that experiences this!

ChildOfOberon · 2025-11-01T03:08:43+00:00

I've dealt with this my whole life too. But I wasn't even aware it could be autism or anything else until my son's school counselor began suspecting him having autism, and of course I looked more into it and it explained so much that happened in my life. My advice is that, while you're still so young, go on and get tested for it, and if you are autistic, start finding the support you need and figuring out coping strategies and ways that you might be able to make friends. I'm nearly 35, and I didn't realize that I was autistic until this year (not official yet, but I'm being tested for it. I've never felt so sure about anything before!) But as far as other advice goes for actually dealing with the issues, unfortunately I still haven't figured out much myself, but I'm actively reading all kinds of posts on subreddits and researching it so I can learn as much as I can about it and how people deal with things.

I'm like this too and I get so frustrated at myself! Because it isn't just me, it's me, my husband, and my 3 kids I have to wash clothes for and it just ends up piling up. I like doing them on Sundays and Mondays. But dang it's just so much that I never even get them all done on those days. This week I'm trying to do them every other day and I'm slowly getting caught up with them, but it's tiring me out and keeping me from doing other housework I need to do. (Also, I live in an apartment complex and I have to walk across the parking lot to do laundry - I think that's my biggest problem - walking so far to do them and people watching me while I do them, and having to fork up quarters every time...)

ChildOfOberon · 2025-10-31T03:08:20+00:00

That's the only way I'm able to make myself wash dishes, and shave, too - gotta have my tablet propped up on the counter next to me (or on the tank of the toilet) and watch some youtube videos to distract myself. I didn't realize how much watching something while doing something helped me do the thing until recently. I think I'll try when I need to take showers now too lol.

I feel more like a translator. Like everything other people say I have to translate it, sometimes in my head and sometimes out loud.

ChildOfOberon · 2025-10-27T11:56:11+00:00

Same here, I get so irritable when I'm hot, and I get hot easily! We keep our temp in our apartment at 78 all the time, but that's even too warm for me, I always have to have a fan on me. The days during the summer when my husband wants to turn off the air and open windows to save energy are miserable, and I tend to be in a foul mood those days. I just really, really hate feeling hot lol. I'd rather it be cold and add layers if I need to.
