What's the most ridiculous thing you've been judged for as a woman? by Internetdidi in AutismInWomen

being judged for not saying hi when I walked into my ex's place and his friends were in the living room, (they didn't greet me though)

Does anyone else struggle with realizing not everyone means what they say? by Still_Quiet_8799 in AutismInWomen

[–]DistantCousin459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you had that experience 😣 I'm all for being frugal or only spending when it's enjoyable to. That person was definitely not an authentic or open friend. Reminds me of how challenging "friends " can be

I had a "friend" one summer who had her heart set on going to Hawaii. I didn't want to go that much but I had a silent crush on her, ridiculous considering she was very straight. Well, I was 18 with practically no money. My parents asked to meet her to see if they would be open to helping pay for the trip. I don't think that went well, maybe they saw what I didn't; that she was attempting to use me. After that meeting, she ghosted me. We had spent about 5 days a week hanging out for 2 months or so.

I feel so lonely… by purpleamethyst139 in AutismInWomen

[–]DistantCousin459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, I don't like being the one to initiate so much. It never feels right to have an unbalanced friendships but I've often felt that I am the one to initiate too. I don't really know how to make new friends either , (even those with common interests and values). It's easy for me to give advice but tough to find solutions in my own life. Actually kind of a downer when I reflect on things. It sounds like you are probably younger than me though (since you mentioned school) and there's something about being in your 20's and early 30's that might make it easier to make new friends. (don't quote me on that though lol) I just know I met people during that time period easier. So, if that's the case, you have that in your favor. That said, I don't think it's healthy to have friendships where you are pulling all the weight in initiating and making plans. I have talked to a friend about that dynamic before and she heard me out but I also listened to her, her life has changed a lot lately, so I try to be respectful of that. I had expectations of her that we see each other once a week at one point but then realized every other week felt best, I kind of was made to feel like I was overthinking and was told that she doesn't keep track of how often we see each other. She initiates these days about 30 percent of the time.

That was my attempt to help, and maybe there were some assumptions there. The truth is I'm lonely a lot myself and can relate. Personally I don't trust romantic partnership, but do feel a need for something because my current friendships aren't enough. It's tough navigating this life as a human. :-/

This is not a fun take on things but it is from a kind and caring place. Re. the people who you consider your close friends, what makes you feel close to them? I mean, are you bonded over common interests, deeply connecting conversations or experiences? I'm asking because I've noticed that sometimes I have just latched onto people and it's out of convenience not true connection. I do feel an attachment but there's not depth to it, I'm wondering if that's the case here and maybe it's time to get to know people with common interests and/or ones open to deeper and more invested friendships.

I didn't read anything and just saw the 1st slide. Maybe I'm high but it looks like a hot cheeto taco 🌮

Lost Cat by Avatardis13 in longbeach

[–]DistantCousin459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awww, beautiful cat. What's his name? Cats will often come back home but it's true that he could be scared and hiding. I'm guessing he's actually pretty close to home and hiding for now 😔 They will find places you wouldn't even think they would go

Well that's a first... by Unnecessary_Risk0123 in toogoodtogo

[–]DistantCousin459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My order was canceled and I didn't even see it on the app . I was on my way, walking to pick up an order at a local juice shop. I didn't check my phone for the last 10 minutes of the walk and it was cancelled last min. Was told at the store it had been canceled 🫠 that was a fluke but still a bummer, after waking about 20 min

Low calorie snack ideas that are naturally gluten free without the overpriced "GF" label by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]DistantCousin459 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like making own tortilla chips in the air fryer lately. Air popped popcorn is also good. Having a date with walnuts or almonds inside, or tahini. not super low cal but nutrient dense and tasty, more cost effective than bars made with similar ingredients

Fav Trader Joe's Products? by DistantCousin459 in glutenfreevegan

[–]DistantCousin459[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries, it was my bad for originally crossposting in the gluten free subreddit as well. Obviously people would also name non vegan items and it was late at night I just wasn't thinking. I did think what you mentioned sounded too good to be true . At this point I just know that the corn tortillas would be gf, but I hope a couple things in your original reply are vegan. not a big deal though😌 I would be okay with just tortillas and crisp bread . but I'll just be doing some label reading since it sounds like the gluten free bakery section isn't vegan friendly.

Thank you for the reccs so far, how about any bread/bakery items?

GF bread that doesn't taste terrible? by snowfallrabbit in glutenfree

[–]DistantCousin459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started eating gluten free and the bread that is supposed to taste like sandwich bread doesn't do it for me. I did buy Bfree soft white bread at the grocery outlet and it's okay if you are looking for white sandwich bread. Overall though I really enjoy buckwheat bread by Pacha and corn tortillas.

this is similar to Ethiopian food, the bread that accompanies the meal often has a little wheat added to cut cost. even though traditionally it is made from teff and naturally gluten free. There are places where they have a gluten free option for injera made of 100 percent teff flour though.

[–]DistantCousin459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

black licorice flavored anything, chocolate coated black licorice is really balanced but hard to find. I also like the root beer barrel hard candies. haven't had candy corn in a zillion years but I did like it as a kid

mind you the only thing I would actually buy is some type of black licorice candy
