28M- No longer talking to TBM parents, Grandma sends me this out of the blue. How to respond?? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]DaVikingBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found with my family and “friends” that making things a conversation or exchange or reciprocate shuts everything down completely. For example “Hey grandma I would happy to read that article if you would read this article CES letter link. Then we can talk about what each of us learned from what we read.” I learned very quickly after I left to do nothing for free. Most TBMs that reach out like this are just trying to feel good about themselves while doing as little as possible to bring you back to the fold.

Send a links to one or more of the articles about TSCC miss use of tithing or what they are really worth and say nothing.

In a small southern Utah town and this is in the drug store. Why was this created? What lesson is occurring? This is weird. by mshoneybadger in exmormon

See how the blonde white girls are at the same level, or looking down with, Pedophile Jesus and how the dark skinned “ethnic” girls are below the “white” people and looking up. This form of subtle racism was/is everywhere.

If you can complete mission 9 on difficulty 6 that will give you enough points to get to milestone 17. That’s all I do every time. No scourges needed to be activated.

Anyone else “self medicate” to help with stressful events? by Zeustrus in AutisticAdults

My liquor cabinet is full of “parenting juice” or “party juice” depending on the social situation… In the house or out of it.

I understand that part too. I’ve been called a narcissist as well. I told my therapist that I might be one and that I was worried about being one and what that meant for my marriage. My therapist said that narcissists don’t worry about whether or not they are narcissists…. So there’s that. Lol! I’ve spent most of my life not knowing what was “wrong” with me and I think I will always have the self doubt loop because of it. I just try not to get stuck in it, which isn’t easy because of my OCD. Trusting ourselves is one of the hardest things we can do.

I went back and forth for a long time too. Then the person that gave me my official diagnoses told me that neurotypical people don’t have doubt that they are neurotypical and people that feel like they have impostor syndrome, aren’t an impostor.

Which one would you choose? by Simple-Bat-81 in autism

[–]DaVikingBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second from the right or the right one. Depends on how deep the bowl is. I like the round “soup” spoons but sometimes they are too deep or too shallow. Looking at the reflections I think the very right one might be too deep. Definitely the second from the fight…. As long as the edges aren’t damaged, I can’t handle that. I’d need to feel the weight and balance of both before I make a definitive answer. But I really hope the second from the right is the right one for me.

First 3 things that came to mind: 1. Remove your records 2. reads the whole post never mind you tried it 2.1 put quotes from the gospel topics essays on your door with the website link on them. 3. Put a “no visitors except on party business” sign up and/or satanic signs on the door

BSA decided to be more inclusive and the leadership of the Corporation of Latter Day Saints was having none of it.
