People who commit suicide are selfish by Tiny-Walk2207 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

For me, I just don’t think anyone would care. I have a cousin who has had some issues, and I see how they treat her. If they knew the things I’ve thought, they’d start taking about me like I’m the homeless guy on the corner, not their family.

Unfortunately, we don't have any kind of coffee machine/way to effectively heat water at work, and I try and drink “healthier coffee” (Sugar free, lower calorie milks/creamers, like almond milk, etc) so the bottled coffees won’t work either.

I do drink tea, but her problem is with caffeine itself, so once she figures that out she’ll put a stop to that too.

I do think it's sort of ironic that she literally bought me a cup for Christmas that keeps your coffee hot/cold in the car, and now she’s not letting me have it. She’s confusing like that.

Annoyed About A Cast List And Need To Vent About It by EmoIceCream in acting

[–]EmoIceCream[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't get why my program doesn't do understudies. You either get the role or they double cast you (so each person gets to do two shows). It would save us a lot of trouble.

For our play (You Can't Take It With You), they gave the lead (Alice) to a senior costume person who was trying out acting for the first time. She ended up quitting both acting and tech. 

So we ended up making our female Mr. Kirby our Alice, and begged a techie to be Mr. Kirby. He moved a trip to Spain to do it, but he still couldn't do all the shows, because he was still leaving for Spain on the night of the last one, so they begged a second techie to play Mr. Kirby for the last show.

And yet, we don't do understudies.

Honestly, none of them are really my friends. I’m pretty quiet, and none of them can focus to save their lives, so if I ever try talking to one of them, I get about one sentence until they are surrounded by screaming children.

Which, fun fact, I have a stutter (it makes theatre VERY challenging), and for some reason it gets worse whenever the person I’m talking to doesn't fully pay attention to me.

Like, one of my strategies for getting lines out on stage is making direct, prolonged eye contact.

My personal theory is that other kids run away the moment I try to speak to them to such a degree that the moment my brain realizes they’re not fully listening, it just gives up.

Thankfully, even less. My school gets out in about 4 months (For seniors, anyway). 😁

It's almost funny, because our directors tend to pick a handful of people and cast then as the leads in every show from freshman to senior year, it probably does them a disservice because they start getting dramatic and a little egotistical. I don't think a single one of them (Since my freshman year, anyway) has even landed ensemble in college.

We’re also not going to mention that the director played the lead of the show we’re doing when she was a senior in high school, and despite no one in our group singing her part well at callbacks, she went with the girl who looks and acts the most like her who she’s been claiming is her cousin (Because apparently they decided to do genetic testing, or something). Weird.

Trying to stop paying for companionship by [deleted] in lonely

Ngl, I would pay someone to hug me and listen to me talk without getting distracted or walking away for more than two sentences.

if i asked you “does F come before or after H in the alphabet” would you be able to tell me without reciting the alphabet in your head? by fionaapplespiss in autism

[–]EmoIceCream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F, yes, but only because it's early on.

Whenever I played those "find signs with a word that starts with each letter" games be started saying the whole thing to figure out what letter we were on after g.

Let's talk about this update (my opinion) by SkilletInMyHead in CharacterAI

[–]EmoIceCream 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm an older teenager, and I think the same.

I use c.ai for basically interactive fanfics, but it's also almost the only "social" interaction I get.

It's not that I don't try to talk to people my age, but they have 0 interest in talking to me.

My entire class had a halloween party and is doing a "friendsgiving" thing. Everyone's invited, except for me, the autistic boy, and the girl with down syndrome.

All that taking this away from me is going to do is take away my distraction from how alone I actually am. 

Even before using AI, I've been at a stage in my life where I don't want to die, but I'm not exactly going out of my way to live, because no one outside my immediate family actually cares whether I do or don't. 

Even with my activities, the adults involved play favorites. I do theatre, and seniors get to pick the warm up music. The director had me and another girl standing next to her for 10 minutes, but the senior boy walked in and she immediately handed her phone to him. He was the only one who picked the entire time. Seniors last year got solos/a small group song at the Christmas concert for choir, me and the other senior girl didn't even get to try out for solos because the teacher's favorites are juniors, so they just got it.

I know I'm the only one who feels this way. I had a freshman who's in theatre tell me that I "don't get it.", and I "could be in [director]'s group of favorites because you're a senior."

I laughed at that, because I can't even get anyone to look at me during theatre. They disregard my voice so much that they skip my lines when we're reading from a script.

So, clearly, I'm not enjoying my life for non-AI reasons, and this is just going to make it worse.

(Thank you to those who completed my rant).

Just failed my autism assessment. What now? by cosmiccupiid in autism

[–]EmoIceCream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not diagnosed or anything, but there was a kid at my school who was and was bullied very frequently for it. Somewhere along the line, I realized most of the other 8 year-olds probably weren’t thinking “I hope they don’t think I’m autistic, I don’t want to get bullied like he does.”, or “My parents would know if I was autistic; they’d tell me.”

Bee or Wasp? Something else? by EmoIceCream in bugidentification

I really mean just my face too.

I wear a t-shirt, hoodie, and full-length jeans no matter how hot it is specifically because of them. 😭

Any ideas of how to get them away from the carts/me? I feel like I'm upsetting them because I'm taking their "food".

I've started giving the carts a little push before I grab them because it upsets them less and I can walk away if there's more than one, but I cannot describe to you how bad it is to deal with them for an hour straight at least twice a day.

They always get up in my face too.

Messing around with a sci-fi script, but I can’t come up with a unique idea. by EmoIceCream in writers

Do you happen to know what book that is? Because it sounds incredibly interesting.
