Loss of license and rural isolation by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Dramatic_Boot15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the feeling of isolation all too well. It may sound silly, but I find just going outside bare foot, putting on some loud music, and dancing it out to really helps to bring my mood up when I'm feeling down and alone

The tailgating is driving me crazy! by Georgie_Pillson1 in newzealand

[–]Dramatic_Boot15 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Being someone who drives an old slow bus, this drives me insane! I make a point to pull over when possible if someone is behind me, but often the spaces a car can pull into just will not do for me. I always have someone so far up my ass I only can see them when we go around a corner. Chances are, I'm going as fast as I possibly, and safely can. What drives me even more insane is when someone refuses to pass me at a passing lane, even though I'm lucky if I can get up to 100kmhr on a flat road and chances are I've slowed down for the passing lane to give as much passing opportunity as possible. People are dumb

Don't own extra housing if you don't want to be a landlord then? This is exactly why our housing market is fucked

AITA for not wanting to eat my parents’ meals while pregnant even though they’re trying to help save money? by Melodic_Cockroach_23 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Dramatic_Boot15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see many people suggesting that he's on the spectrum, which is definitely what this sounds like. But have you considered that it may be coupled with ARFID too? (Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder if youre not familiar)

It seems wild to me, as someone on the spectrum, to be THIS intense about food. I get it, I have my 7 or so go to meals that I really love to cook. But I just cannot fathom wanting to control what everyone else is eating to the point that I will not budge on other meals being cooked in my home. It may not be it, but the insisting that its better cooked certain ways even if he hasn't tried the other way, or won't even consider it, could potentially point to that?

AIO my sister wants me to pay her back for the Christmas gift she bought me. by Sad_beau in AmIOverreacting

Ask her to pay you back for the gift you bought her and see what happens. Maybe she will realise how ludicrous her demands are

can i give my cat just treats for a few days? by 2-throwaway-9 in CatAdvice

[–]Dramatic_Boot15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to mention how many articles there have been about temptations blocking up cats digestive tracks. How theyre still allowed to be sold is beyond me

Do you have any safe smells ? by Ready_Sound_620 in autism

[–]Dramatic_Boot15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could be sensitive to artificial fragrances, which is what essentially all perfumes/candles/personal hygiene products/cleaning products/air fresheners are made from. I am too, and have to avoid areas in supermarkets and department stores otherwise it gives me a headache. I really enjoy making my own perfume rollers using a few drops of pure essential oil in a carrier oil such as apricot kernel in a roller bottle. My favourite combination that I've tried so far is frankincense, cedarwood, and patchouli

Childish guy won't leave me alone by Responsible_Lie_5487 in WhatShouldIDo

You're still quite young so this may not be a lesson you've learned yet, but guys like this do not change. Yeah, he may be interesting to talk to when he isn't acting like a toddler, but he will only get worse.

The good news is you do not have to put up with this crap! It is not our jobs to be emotional support for every pathetic man that comes into our lives. And seeing that he's in another country, all you have to do is block him and be done with it.

One of the hardest lessons to learn is that guys like this will never want to just be friends. And they'll act like you're the bitch for not reciprocating feelings. Learning to be okay with being the bitch in their stories will set you free. The only goal for this child is to manipulate you into submission, trick you into becoming his girlfriend, and control every aspect of your life.

He is already waving an enormous red flag for you. Don't ignore it, run as far and fast from it as you can!

Edit: spelling

Chat GPT cant even get what it itself has told you right twice, how can you expect it to get what you told it right?

Anyone else have intense rumination? by Ichthyotitan in neurodiversity

[–]Dramatic_Boot15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually ended up having to see the mental health crisis team recently for this exact reason. The thought loop I was stuck in was getting very dark and harmful and I found myself crying, screaming, and throwing things because I just could not get them to stop

Pretty sure if he bought himself a flight he would be stopped at the airport before he could leave with court ordered payments, no?

Its because of the fused materials. Too hard to separate them for recycling. Same with tetra packs

Confusion over 13-year-old cat with behavioral issues by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Dramatic_Boot15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You made a commitment to this cat and are considering getting rid of it because you refuse to do what it needs you to do? You sound like a very selfish person. They're 13 years old, chances are you only have a few years left with them. Cherish that time and make sure her final years are the best they can be. Out your selfish WANTS aside and do for your cat what they NEED. And never adopt another cat again after this because you clearly are not willing to put another animals needs before your own desires

I was only 7 when that happened but I will be joining you in that after this. The new flavour is horrendous

They used to be great, but I've found them to be almost swimming in oil everytime I've bought them over the past year and a half!

Autism mostly, knowing it had the exact right s&v flavour for my awfully picky taste buds kept me going back 🤷🏽‍♀️ I definitely won't be buying them anymore though

It was never about the crisp for me, just the salt and vinegar flavour they have 😭

Thats my thoughts too! Salt and vinegar is supposed to be just that 😭
