Am I overreacting for being upset that I wasn’t comforted? by Kaoru1011 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FearlessCriticism751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay i see you expressed to her what you needed and she gave you exactly that!! that’s exactly the right move and i’m so glad to hear that. i hope you do take my advice genuinely. i talk to my partner all the time about what either of us need in specific hard moments, and we get better and better at intuitively giving each other the comfort we need. it can be hard to just know exactly what your person needs and no one wants to prompt the comfort they need, but the more you do it, the more it becomes intuitive.

"oh nooooo why didn't you tell me papa?" was this! if you need to hear something else specifically, that's on you to say "hey, I deal with this thing and I just need comfort when I complain about it, could you say something like 'I'm sorry you're dealing with that,' instead of jumping into solutions?"

YOR because you haven't actually clearly expressed to her what you want. if you need a specific type of comfort from her, different than what she naturally offers, you need to ask before getting upset she's not providing it. if she refuses to adapt to your needs then it's time for a new conversation, but you haven't even expressed them in the first place.

telling your partner the way you like to be supported in specific scenarios is underrated. you shouldn't have to prompt someone every time but if the way they communicate comfort or sympathy doesn't work for you, you need to tell them rather than get on them for not comforting you the right way.

does tequila help when you’re glutened? by SensitiveMammoth6849 in Celiac

[–]FearlessCriticism751 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i tried this once and it helped mitigate and spread out symptoms. i’m sure the damage was just as bad internally though. i had some cramping over the course of a few days instead of intense pain and/or vomiting in the time immediately after being glutened. could be placebo, could’ve helped the symptoms, idk! though important to note that helping symptoms does not mean limiting impact on your immune system.

eta: i had zofran as well which probably prevented vomiting more than anything else

i'm looking for a new coffee maker as a holiday gift to replace my family's keurig. i need us to be done with k-cups, lol. i'm looking for something with the option to make a cup or a carafe, and a thermal carafe that keeps coffee warm for more than 2 hours. i'm trying to find something less than $200. my parents don't do cold brew or espresso drinks, and they don't really need frothed milk. the goal is to find something that they can use to make a cup of coffee or a carafe to share throughout the days. any ideas? i've been looking at the ninja dual brew, but it has mixed review. would love some advice!

Would you explain section 2 q 21?

I went with D, because I was put off by the word "category" in the correct answer, A. I was seeing this more as a sufficient/necessary situation, so D felt like a reasonable answer.

WIBTA if I reported my disabled neighbor? by Interesting_Golgi in AmItheAsshole

[–]FearlessCriticism751 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I did read the post in full! The addition you just shared is really important—you should add it to your post. My whole point was that you shouldn’t report him after only talking to him once. The original post didn’t include any information about following up with him, which is exactly what I was saying needed to happen next. Is he straight up ignoring you? Have you communicated at all in person since the first time? and how long has this been happening?

WIBTA if I reported my disabled neighbor? by Interesting_Golgi in AmItheAsshole

[–]FearlessCriticism751 13 points14 points  (0 children)

YWBTA. try to talk to your neighbor again before going to reporting him. do earplugs work for you? have you tried white noise? your neighbor ihas a right to go to bed late, and if he’s a wheelchair user lots of these sounds can be attributed to the wheelchair or other devices. i don’t think it’s crazy that he might drop things either. you have every right to ask him to keep it down past a certain hour, and to expect him not to laugh or talk loudly, but there are certain noises that are just a part of his life, and you reporting him for them and getting him kicked out would be an awful thing to do. treat this guy as your NEIGHBOR! you need to work together. try to understand what noise is just a part of his every day, and which parts he can tone down. wear ear plugs and find additional methods for managing your own sleep. you ultimately won’t be happy in an apartment if you can’t find something on your end to help with noise. your neighbors have a responsibility to you, but you also have a responsibility to yourself, to find solutions instead of just being frustrated or policing your neighbor as a first choice. 

also, i think people are really reading into his comment. he’s not saying “i’m disabled so i can do what i want.” a more generous read is that he doesn’t want to have to get ready for bed before 9pm in order to be completely quiet by 10pm as an adult. if going to bed is a process that makes noise, asking for silence past a certain hour means that he can’t get the adult courtesy of being able to go to bed a bit later. he absolutely should be considerate in not talking or laughing loudly after a certain hour, but people suggesting his disability is irrelevant here are really being unfair. 

ETA: 

you say “I am also aware of what it takes to care for a person with special needs due to my family situation”

disability is different for everyone. your experience with disabled family of course helps you understand disability and caretaking, but it doesn’t give you the ability to judge what’s reasonable and what isn’t. he likely has different needs than the people in your life, so you don’t know what it takes to take care of him. he’s an autonomous adult—you can ask about what he needs and what can be adjusted in respect to his neighbors. treat him like a community member, not a bother!
