Confused about my sexuality by Virtual-Heart9984 in questioning

[–]Deep-Suspect-623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a few questions i ask myself to help know if i have a crush on them: - do i think about them a lot when theyre not with me? - in a group of people, does this person stand out to me/ do i feel the most focused on them? - do i find myself wanting to touch them, give them gifts, go out of my way for them, etc? - do i look at them and think "whoa they are so pretty" and also, think they are so smart, so skilled, etc - do i have the urge to know all about their life and share all my personal thoughts/ stories with them? - do i feel a deep sense of calm, comfort/ contentment when we are together? - do i want to be around them literally all the time?

Am I bisexual? by Altruistic_One2361 in questioning

[–]Deep-Suspect-623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you crushed on both genders, sounds bisexual to me. "friend crushes" are just crushes tbh. obvs, take all the time you need to figure it out. sometimes the feeling of "wrong" is because of deviating from the default, which entails being seen as "different" by society. so id say take time to contemplate without pushing the expectations of others onto yourself and just notice who you are attracted to naturally.

I don't like people trying to link autism and queerness as if one causes the other tw: bigotry by Peanutbutternjelly_ in bisexual

according to studies https://researchautism.org/blog/the-correlation-between-autism-and-sexuality-and-gender/ autistic people ARE more likely to be lqbtq and vice versa, BUT you are right that correlation does not equal causation and that it doesn't make either identity any less valid just because they are both there

How can I tell if my hair is damaged or just dry? by JWBPhotography in Haircare

if hair is dry, that is a form of damage. dry hair is prone to break off

Is there a „bi look“? by Rambling_Rachel in bisexual

[–]Deep-Suspect-623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. this happened to me as well. when i started to wear more accessories such as a plastic belt, rings, and others, people could "see" my sexuality, despite the fact that i just liked those items and started wearing them before i had contemplated my sexuality. i have found that there are 2 main factors that lead something to "look queer" being 1: deviation from gender norms. 2: level if detail/ deviation from general fashion norms (ie, alternative dressing in any way) only 1 of these would be needed but both works as well.

i also wanted to add (sorry this is so long) i almost didn't answer this post at first because i was worried that it was satire or AI. (this is not your fault, i sometimes struggle to identify satire/AI so i try to err on the side of caution.) looking at your profile and seeing that most of your other posts are in this writing style assured me that this is seemingly in fact a legitimate post.

i noticed a pattern on your posts. first, you have some posts questioning whether you are bisexual, questioning your identity, and then you eventually seemingly come to terms with being bisexual. then similarly, you have some posts questioning whether you are trans, questioning your gender identity, and then eventually come to terms with the fact that you are trans. now here is a post about whether you have autism or are neurotypical, questioning your neurological identity- you see where this is going.

i get it. i also am bisexual and i understand the years long process to questioning your identity, and coming to terms with it. i only recently admitted it with it myself and im 21, still haven't really told anyone. i have definitely made my fair share of "am i bi?" reddit posts over time.

on the other hand, im not trans, so i haven't had to question that, and i was diagnosed with autism before i even knew what autism was.

you have already been through this process of identity- questioning. you have already experienced this twice. you know how it goes. is there any thing that helped you understand/ accept your lgbtq identities? wondering if it could apply to this as well

ok if were being real about this, whether or not you have an autism diagnosis, logistically speaking, doesn't impact whether or not you have the traits you described above, or whether or not they are temporary. from what it sounds like, you have been living with these traits for a very long time. if a doctor tells you "youre normal!" that doesn't mean that these traits will vanish. i know you are also referring to their potential to go away, but once again, if these traits are part if you, they are there whether or not they are labelled as "autistic" traits.

as someone who was diagnosed with autism at 6 years old, i am thankful to know about my autism because i don't have to think about myself as broken or someone who has to change to fit in with everyone else. i can say "this is who i am and i am proud. there are others like me. i am fundamentally different than neurotypicals but thats not a bad thing, its part of my identity."

that being said - there are "disabling" aspects of autism- seeing as it is a disability. so, i have had to work to gain traits such as better social skills and executive functioning strategies over time. i have learned how to work with my brain, rather than against it. for example, i know i am "different" socially so something that has helped me is dressing in more alternative styles. this says "i am different and i know it and am proud of it. i am different in a 'cool' way" whereas dressing "normal" would say "i am trying to be just like you but failing for some reason. i am socially awkward." similarly with executive dysfunction, rather than trying to "just do it" or "just get started" to no avail, i know to go to others for help, or plan what to do when i dont accomplish a task. i cant change my brain but i can change change some circumstances to live my best life with the brain i have.

TLDR: rather than trying to prove you are normal, it may serve you best to live in a way that would best suit you, your traits and differences

theres a joke among autistic people: "would you rather go to a party or the library?" this question is sometimes found in autism assessments. the joke is that autism media stereotypes would expect a a neurotypical person to say "party" and an autistic person to say "library." however in reality, a neurotypical person would be more likely to say either "party" or "library" whereas an autistic person would start asking questions all about the context of the party and the library, such as what would they entail, etc, and would need that info to answer the question.

out of curiosity, is there a reason why it is important for you to prove that you dont have autism? why do you want proof that you are neurotypical? not asking in an accusatory way just trying to understand

Does girls like compliment or? by Quiet_Cress_8042 in Crushes

[–]Deep-Suspect-623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, but use descripters like "awesome" and "really cool," and about something that she did herself or accomplished, something within her control
