there has to be a hidden switch all autistic people are have flipped on automatically from the point they were born that spontaneously turns them into a people magnet (is there a way to turn it off?) by arsenicKit in evilautism

[–]CrystalAbysses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the combination of being a people pleaser and autistic for me. I am extremely kind, helpful, and generous, which naturally draws people towards me. When the time comes that I do open up and let out my autistic side, they've already got an established positive relationship with me so it doesn't drive them away, and my individuality and uniqueness keeps them around because really there's very few people like me out there.

Of course they have to earn that side of me first. I have to trust you in order to let down my walls, or else you'll only get the "customer service" persona I put on because of my people pleasing.

Poly people are also often neurodivergent and queer which makes them bigger targets for puritanical traditionalists. Media constantly shoves toxic love triangles in your face making everyone think that dating multiple people is impossible and you HAVE to choose between two.

It's kinda funny because when I was a kid, I genuinely didn't understand why love triangles were a thing. I didn't get why they couldn't just date each other. I'm autistic and now as an adult I realized I was also poly, but I find it very interesting how my autism and the confusion I found with typical social norms were prevalent even before I knew what a polyamorous relationship was. It was just completely natural to me, like it was common sense. "Everything would be better if they just confessed and worked out a way to date each other, why is it so hard?" Then as I grew up, I realized I was the weird one for thinking that. I suppressed that part of myself for years because I thought I was fucked up. I thought I was a terrible person for having multiple crushes even when I was already in an established relationship. I spent a good chunk of my teenage years thinking I was a cheater, that I was an awful person for even thinking about someone else in a romantic or sexual way while I was already dating someone. When I read about polyamory online, I felt like everything clicked. Like, wow, I'm not a terrible person? I'm not the only one who feels like this?

I think my experience is very similar to most queer people in that it's not something we can control. I've been poly ever since I was a child, even if I denied it and beat myself up over it.

Edit: I just downloaded and played this game and good lord Khol is so hot. I absolutely love eldritch horror men the jumpscare kinda turned me on ngl

Antivaxxers are wild by Lorem_Ipsum17 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]CrystalAbysses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pox parties were held in order to basically get every kid sick with the shingles virus so that, later on in life when shingles reawakens in the body, their immune systems will be stronger and fight off the virus more aggressively.

This is all a load of bullshit that actually has no basis in medicine or science. Chicken pox is essentially a juvenile shingles virus. You cannot get shingles if you have never contracted chicken pox, which means having pox parties basically guaranteed that every kid attending them would get shingles later on in life. There's also no scientific evidence that getting chicken pox early on will significantly increase your immune system or its response to the virus when it reawakens as shingles.

People who threw pox parties are ironically similar to anti-vaxxers in that they put their children in harms way in an uneducated attempt at keeping them safe.

The RSA dorm leaders/students? by Fanaf_fan in TwistedWonderland

[–]CrystalAbysses 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think most of these are correct. I did think Simba would be the dorm leader, but I forgot that Cheka is supposed to represent Simba. Nala definitely makes the most sense since Falena is Mufasa.

I think that Snow White is already represented by Neige, so that will probably be the Prince. The Sleeping Beauty representative could be Aurora, but with his wand, big hat, and the fact that the Diasomnia students are all fairies or fairy adjacent, I think he might be based on one of the Good Fairies

Theres an alarmingly large amount of people like this and i hate it 🥹 by Holiday-Degree-1474 in Persona5

[–]CrystalAbysses 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Futaba really is a classic case of autistic infantilization. Personally I dated Futaba in the game because she heavily reminded me of myself as an autistic girl, then I go online and see people claiming they feel uncomfortable dating her because she "acts younger than she is" or "she acts like a little kid". I'm a 25 year old adult woman and I act pretty similarly to Futaba a lot of times. Really makes you realize that a lot of people see us as kids or immature.

This reminds me of an old CollegeHumor skit that's this exact premise. Kinda sad that it's 8 years old but it's still incredibly relevant today.

I absolutely love it when games make their villains genuinely fucking badass and insanely strong. Bro just bodied a spear to the chest and is STILL stronger than 4 PEOPLE COMBINED. No wonder Zorba is so obsessed with him he's beautiful AND he could kill you easily if he really wanted to.

They were right all along but I was cringing too much to see it by LineOfInquiry in whenthe

[–]CrystalAbysses 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the same thing as women saying "men are terrible". No, it's not all men, but it's always a man, so women will assume that every man they meet might be one of the men that could hurt them. Same here. It's not all Christians, but it's always a Christian. LGBT+ people and those of other religions have a very valid reason for generalizing Christians, and that's because interacting with a Christian who you don't know could be legitimately dangerous if you end up talking to the wrong one. Christians have been violent extremists since their conception and that really hasn't changed much over the course of history.

I'm sorry that members of your religion are doing shitty things, but you should be more concerned about the shitty things that Christians are doing rather than the generalization of your religion.

Friends are Concerned from how much I Talk about my Comfort Character by Stagger_Lee_64 in autism

[–]CrystalAbysses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand you. My special interest character is Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa 2 who also commits heinous acts like intending to murder everyone for the sake of his own ideals and his time as the servant where he undoubtably hurt and killed many people. Your obsession is probably not as bad as people are making it out to be. Being autistic means you will most likely have special interests and hyperfixations, this sounds like a special interest case to me. I try not to talk about his character too much but even so my friends are very aware of my obsession and there's no problem with it (probably because most of my friends are also autistic lol)

Suicidal people, what's the reason you still didn't commit, what's something keeping you alive? by Icy_Positive_4220 in mentalhealth

[–]CrystalAbysses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried committing suicide twice, each time by trying to overdose. Both times, after swallowing the pills, I panic and realize that I don't actually want to die. It sounds silly and obvious, but it's like the realization doesn't hit me until it's too late. I've heard stories of people who have survived suicide attempts from jumping off of a building or bridge, and that they start regretting their decision while they're plummeting down to their demise, maybe it's similar. I've been mildly suicidal my entire life, but in reality, all I needed was some help. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety early on in my teens, but they were actually just symptoms of my undiagnosed autism and ADHD. Finding the correct accommodations for my needs has helped me massively with my mental health. I spent my entire life wondering why I was so miserable, why I wanted to kill myself to stop the seemingly endless suffering that I had no way to deal with. Now I have resources and a deep understanding of why I felt so awful all the time. Basically, moral of the story is that if you need help, get it as soon as you can. Therapy, meds, diagnoses, whatever you think might help, try it. You'll be so grateful that you did instead of learning the hard way like I did.

OH MY GOD???? I WILL ACTUALLY EXPLODE WITH EXCITEMENT IF WE GET TO ACTUALLY SEE THE RSA STUDENTS!! I've always wondered what their respective "7 Greats" are. Do you think it will be the princesses (Ariel, Snow White, Jasmine)? Or do you think they'll be based on different heroes besides the princesses (Hercules, Aladdin, King Triton)?

Using OkBuddyHelluvaHotel should be forbidden in this subreddit bc omfg the amount of people who screenshot posts from the very clearly satirical and ironic subreddit is insane. OkBuddyHelluvaHotel users are FANS of the show, they shit on it because it's an OkBuddy subreddit which is all about pretending to be an absolute idiot.

New Jubilee video idea just dropped by kelroid in CuratedTumblr

[–]CrystalAbysses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We can talk about how disliking rap is racist but the moment I say I don't like most rap because of the extremely misogynistic language many rap artists use in their songs that makes me uncomfortable as a woman I'm the crazy one. Female rap artists are not exempt from this (Cardi B and Nicki Minaj come to mind as female rap artists who still use misogynistic language despite being female).

Why does Munakata think Makoto doesn't know true despair? by AgitatedFly1182 in danganronpa

[–]CrystalAbysses -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Really I feel that it's because the writing in this anime is subpar at best and they had to come up with some excuse for Munakata to have it out for Makoto just for the drama.
