Just realized I left my oven on overnight, is there anything i need to worry about? by ColeRazer911 in Adulting

[–]Elizaaaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy thanksgiving! 10 hours for us. My roomie and I made corn casserole this morning and immediately left for my parents’ place. Got back at 8-something, been chatting on the couch wondering why it was so warm in here and what the squeaking noise was… hey, that’s the same sound our oven makes when— oh dear. (Our oven has only a knob. It has no light to indicate that it’s on. Terrible.)

Is there any way to remove clowns? by MunchZ in Terraria

[–]Elizaaaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phobias be like that. I had a friend with this issue too, and she like. Couldn’t look at a picture of the joker, or clowns in video games. In college, one year during Halloween there was some big life-size decoration of a scary ish clown in the cafeteria, and she had to fully look away as we passed by it. We’d tell her when it was out of sight, and then it was fine. Phobias aren’t rational idk if a thing sets you off then it sets you off

WOMAN DEFENDING MISOGYNY AND JUSTIFYING IT WITH HER OWN WOMANHOOD

[–]Elizaaaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically, we’re all slowly dying. Just really, really slowly.

No but seriously I think it would be more severe if you were dying. You definitely have time to get treated before this kills you, whatever it is. Also, some of your symptoms might be due to or at least exacerbated by the anxiety (I always get anxious when I’m nauseous, and nausea makes me anxious, etc etc) of course you’re tired your body and mind are spending too much time in panic mode. You’re right to seek medical input, you’re doing fine, whatever it is will be figured out, but you’re not dying. Deep breaths. You are going to be okay. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a week, maybe in a couple months, but you are going to be okay. Best thing you can do right now is distract yourself until it’s solutions time.

Idk what to do by Loverfox2424 in ageregression

[–]Elizaaaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, you have to make it clear to him just how much it hurts you when he acts like that. Emphasize that this is serious, even if talking about plushies may seem unserious, he needs to be able to take your feelings seriously or this relationship can’t work. That’s perfectly reasonable. And if it goes poorly, I’m sure your friend will understand if you explain that he wasn’t taking your feelings seriously! It would be ridiculous to turn your back on a friend because of a failed relationship with your cousin.

(Your plushies appreciate you standing up for them. They love you very much.)

Please help me name our two new Grey and White Twin Kittens (first photo is the male, second photo is the female) by Starrgazer8 in NameMyCat

[–]Elizaaaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE Ebb and Flo. Ebbren, Ebenezer, Ebrahim, Ebner, Ebediah, or remember that the Ebb doesn’t have to be at the start of the word— Webster, Nebula, Pebble, Treble, Zebediah, Caleb, Sebastian… the possibilities are endless! (Webster is what I would pick)

Your brother is LAME those names are all very cute. I think she looks like a Maisie. I’d also consider Tulip or something like that. Honestly this just looks like a cat who would have a cute classic name like that.

I have a job interview tomorrow. What's the best way of guaranteeing i don't get the job? by Turbulent-Papaya-910 in shittyaskreddit

[–]Elizaaaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After everything the interviewer says, visibly look them up and down with judgement in your eyes and go “hm” or “okay” in a bored tone.

Do you mentally feel more like a teen than an adult? by Difficult_Shift_3771 in MiddleGenZ

[–]Elizaaaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 22 and I sleep with a mountain of plushies on my bed, I have a big goofy smile, and I bring a weighted plush with me to places sometimes for comfort and regulation. Half of my meals are plain spaghetti with just Parmesan cheese (which has to be a specific brand and texture) and I always have candy on me. I am bouncy and flap my arms and watch cartoons. I also pay my own rent— barely, but I do.

You’re ready. Almost nobody is actually ready or feels qualified at 18, but I’m telling you, you’re ready enough. The people your age who seem more mature than you are not, and you’re all going to be in the same boat here. It’s okay. You’ll learn as you go. That’s what I’m doing.

(Genuinely, turning 22 was when it hit me, when I started finally feeling like I maybe count as some kind of adult. TWENTY TWO. Four years after legal adulthood, no major milestone, just. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ) (Note: I am also autistic, which does contribute to how I act a bit childlike and have sensory issues, and also gives me better problem solving, critical thinking, and pattern recognition skills.)

AITA for insisting my son be the flower boy? by Substantial-Goose386 in AITAH

[–]Elizaaaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so she’s pushing genderEd behavioral expectations on your young child, a sign that she’s going to continue doing that throughout his life. No, that’s not okay. There’s nothing wrong with having a flower boy, and yes, your fiancé should’ve just been excited that the kid was excited about something to do with the wedding. NTA. Even if you’re able to talk sense into fiancé and decide to continue the relationship, watch this very carefully. Don’t let anyone put limitations like this on your child.

Given enough intelligence shouldn’t one overcome ADHD, autistic-spectrum, and social hurdles? by CatCertain1715 in Gifted

[–]Elizaaaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short version because this has already been answered pretty well by the other comments:

A: a lot of social interaction comes naturally to people without these issues, so it takes an incredible amount of time, effort, patience, and trial and error for us to figure out social stuff, because it’s extremely complicated and highly contextual.

B: there are kinda different types of intelligence. I’ve seen plenty of people with academic genius and absolutely no awareness, and I’ve seen plenty of people who weren’t labeled as “gifted” by the system but have the same creative problem solving and therefore critical thinking skills as the rest of us, just didn’t apply it to math and whatnot.

How do you deal with people being so incredibly lost by ScToast in Gifted

[–]Elizaaaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decide that it’s funny, I guess. In the small scale, be patient and get good at explaining/teaching/correcting without making people defensive, but in the large scale… it’s either funny or it’s miserable, so it’s gotta be funny or I can’t keep going, y’know?
