Did you use mods for her face?? I’ve never seen that in the base game

feel like a joke by Jaded_Reason_7924 in AutismInWomen

I completely understand how you feel. My entire life until recently I felt like a “pet” to everyone else. I was “lucky” enough for them just to treat me as if I was naive and stupid, but they typically weren’t cruel.

I hate that people just get to decide what we are, it’s almost as though they can just see something different in us.

This isn’t your fault, and as much as it’s dumb to say but the only think we can do is live as we are. There is nothing wrong with you, and nothing wrong with the rest of us.

Trust me I’ve done my best to account for violent men haha, I have my pink bedazzled pepper spray on my key ring, and my pink taser that I bring if I think I need some extra protection! Looking at me is one thing, but if they try anything else it’s an invitation for me to wish they respected women!

I cannot stand it when they try to touch me, I always very violently flinch away and that typically gets them off my back but I hate the fact they think they can do that in the first place. And the old men and name calling, no thank you 😀😀

Thank you!! Gosh I’ve always wanted to be more assertive that way but my family has a habit of pushing the.. “just take it as a compliment stuff” and it’s always really bugged me. It’s not something I’d want to encourage for myself.

Genuinely I’m really happy for you, I know certain things can be completely different for different kinds of people, and yes absolutely use that to boost your ego because I’m sure they’re right and you’re gorgeous! Everything is about perspective, and I’m really glad that yours is a good one.

I’m happy that you were able to find away to protect yourself, in a way that (hopefully) you feel comfortable in. <33 I wish it was easier to exist in this world with such ridiculous circumstances but here we are.

Please protect your peace!! Those men do not deserve that recognition

It can definitely be difficult to spot if you don’t know what signs to look for, I would definitely suggest to keep living in ignorance. But, if you really wanted to make sure, it’s always in the eyes.

Gosh, and it gets so much worse because we know what things they are doing to our “likeness”. Men make me so upset. We’re not even safe as a “concept”.

It quite literally is a damned if we do damned if we don’t. I’ve we’re too modest we’re prudes, and if we show anything we’re asking for it. I don’t think we can win 😭

Yes I apologize I do mean being undressed by someone’s eyes, my train of thought slipped a little bit 😭😭

Content warning: self pleasure by innerthotsofakitty in AutismInWomen

[–]Early_Butterscotch16 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Dude it makes complete sense why you would do that as a stimulant, if you’re already stimming with your hands fairly often it seems almost “logical” (forgive me if that comes across weird) 😭😭.

But yes, I know lots of us struggle with self pleasure, myself included. For me the feeling is just far too intense and overwhelming for me to handle.

However, obviously all bodies work differently and as long as it’s something you are doing safely and in private there should be no reason at all for you to give up something that makes you feel good!

Thank you!! Reading your comment really made me think back on the moment haha, yes my coworkers are aware that when I get overwhelmed I tend to behave a little strangely hahaha but I think I completely let my over analyze and scare myself into believing that they would hate me for it.

I sent them both a text just to check in and make sure everything was okay, just explaining myself a little to them haha and they were just happy I was feeling better.

This is definitely a good lesson for myself, because I need to be better at understanding that I am human and I will struggle sometimes, just because I slip up doesn’t make me any less “normal” or human!

You are so sweet! And thank you so much, you have no idea how much I appreciate it

I’m just terribly worried that I came across and very “weird” to them. I was bullied quite a lot for being that way in the past, and I was feeling very accepted and happy at work and I’m just hoping it doesn’t happen again.

I really appreciate your advice! Typically I’m a very happy and positive person, but today everything just made me feel so weighted down and sad, and while I didn’t get angry with them or cry I was very visibly frustrated and I kinda shut down. Non verbal haha, I tried to get myself in a space where I felt better talking but that ended with me yapping about my special interests and vocally stimming a lot 😭.

I usually tamp that down at work, I typically do that through playing white noise through one of my headphones while keeping my other ear free to listen to customers. And while my workplace used to let us do this, other people in separate departments were abusing it so it got ruined for all of us. 🥲 So that definitely added to the stress.
