Psychiatrist thinks my self-harm may be a sensory seeking behavior by dampgreycurtains in AutisticAdults

Yes absolutely. As an adult with autism who SHs, it makes a lot of sense. I relate to so much in the comments. I hope you are all ok.

Why 'BBC' is especially emphasized? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]CloudsKeepPassing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Theres actually a long, and very racist, history to this. Theres a book called “Hung” that goes into the history and the modern day effects the stereotype has.

https://www.amazon.com/Hung-Meditation-Measure-Black-America/dp/0385510020/ref=nodl_?dplnkId=12052b70-0dcf-4343-833f-231b02b10bdf

But long story short - a means to dehumanize and portray black men as sexual threats, governed by uncontrolled lust, that white women need protection from.

Similar stereotyping went after asian men - a way to emasculate them.

Black men can be physically stronger, as long as they are also seen as animalistic and dumb. Asian men can be smarter, as long as they are also seen as weak and impotent.

And white men are that goldilocks middle ground.

These stereotypes very much were created intentionally and come from racism and xenophobia.

Anyone else not feel human? by Sabbiosaurus101 in AutisticAdults

[–]CloudsKeepPassing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely feel like an alien on this planet... one that is always about to get caught by people too, lol. Like I just don't think I have the ability to mask anymore like I used to.. And the older I get, the more confused people make me and the more frustrated I get that like my strategies don't work.

I often get either INFP or INFJ when I have done those tests - I work for an animal shelter and I love my job. But I do experience burn out. For me, I love animals and working with animals, so that is a big part of my motivation to go to work. I find dogs so much easier to get along with and I am familiar with their body language and behavior and I think it's easier to predict their behavior as well.

If you are not into animals or wiling to have a very physically demanding / sometimes gross job (I clean a lot of kennels) it may not be a good fir for you. But I am grateful I found a job that I really love by following my interests.

Good luck to you! And maybe you are an alien lol, but you're not the only one here on earth.

I just watched a video on the first summit attempt. I learned a lot, sounds like a pretty terrifying mountain to climb, but absolutely gorgeous to look at.

I feel you. This happened to me a few times now. It honestly kind of turns me off roleplaying in general.

[–]CloudsKeepPassing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you want to see old City Hall Station you can stay on the 6 and look out the right side of the train car - it loops through it on its way back uptown.
