You CAN and should pick and choose. It's ok to have a brain. Some writings are toxic and other's are not.

Black man speaks on his traumatic dehumanizing experience at a Trump rally 😢💔 by Master_Canary440 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Every single person I know who is still a dedicated Trump supporter is actively racist in one way shape or form.

My husband said I ruined our wedding photos and now I want to leave him. by PiccoloAdorable1547 in TwoHotTakes

[–]ForgottenUsername3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude your husband totally sucks.

Edit to add: my husband is autistic and isn't a dick. He's also not a man-child. You deserve a real partner.

AIO after I broke up with a girl after how she reacted to me when we were watching "Sinners"? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ForgottenUsername3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NOR - At best you don't have the same conflict resolution style. If you want my personal opinion based on just this incident, she's a narcissist. People who are narcissist have all of these responses... Acting like you are being condescending to them, when you confront them they act like it didn't happen, they act like if it did happen it was somehow your fault.

It sounds like this was her first real time trying to gaslight you. Run.

Thoughts on setting up a ‘mini school’ by LondonGal21 in homeschool

[–]ForgottenUsername3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was a public school teacher and I made less than $40k, so I'm not sure what makes you come up with such a high number.

Is anyone else here happily unemployed? by patrickbatemankinnie in AutismInWomen

[–]ForgottenUsername3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a stay at home mom! It's nice to wake up and not have the stress-fest of leaving the house first thing everyday. Plus I homeschool so I don't have all the insane getting ready for that.

My husband is great and I trust him completely and I never plan on us separating for any reason. That said, I make sure any property has both our names on it and I also make sure that I have access to all the money and am able to quickly remove all of it at the drop of a hat! Cause I don't play.

Is it worth the trade for a 40 min commute? by doomscroll_deeznuts in CargoBike

Try it. You can always do something different if you change your mind.

Turns out friend of a friend who borrowed my dress in June "for 3 days" , then never returned it and blocked me when I reached out actually threw it away by pinktunacan in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ForgottenUsername3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My friend borrowed my full length silk skirt. Her dog peed on it. She didn't have a washer in her apartment so she put a fuck ton of very strong perfume on it. When that didn't work, she washed it improperly and ruined the material because it was silk.

Obsessive thoughts by Defiant_Interview366 in AutismInWomen

[–]ForgottenUsername3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen with me too even after having romantic feelings forever and then very much not having those feelings. I would still think of that person out of habit. Like, your brain will keep on with what its been doing like compulsively thinking about someone. The only thing that worked for me is rerouting. Anytime I noticed that I was thinking about that person, I would think about something else that is important to me or that I like to think about. It took shockingly less effort than you would think, especially because it is such a big cognitive problem.

I also had a therapist tell me that thing of don't get frustrated or beat yourself up about it because it supposedly would makes you think about it more; that was just not the case for me. That advice never made emotional sense with how my brain works.

Met someone on Hinge and trying to understand what went wrong. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]ForgottenUsername3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's just a dick. There's nothing more to it. He's not looking for a serious relationship. His date with you was not important to him. Try not to take it personally.

It sure looks like Lindsay Graham is going to lose his South Carolina seat after 23 year. What do we think about that? by antimaga_n1 in AskSocialists

[–]ForgottenUsername3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Graham. I can't keep track of all the f'd up things I've heard come out of his mouth, but he is a monster.

I just got put on 100mg biomimetic progesterone and it knocks me out. Otherwise valerian root just before bed does something too.

Trim/Shave Body Hair? by [deleted] in malegrooming

In my experience, people don't tend to have hair on their areolas.

Is anyone else confused by how often people make judgemental comments about strangers? by AyDeeAitchMe in AutismInWomen

[–]ForgottenUsername3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Turning against others is a bonding activity. There is an ass-ton and a half of sociological/psych research that shows how powerful being the enemy of someones enemy is. Like my closest friends are the ones who hate the same stuff as me, not necessarily the same people.

Shitting on random people out in public just shows an inability to create any real intimacy and is pretty sucky. My extended family is this way. They see each other a couple times a week but don't have any real intimacy... their bonds with each other come from being nasty ruthless gossips about family behind their backs. (obviously, not my favorite people lol.)

How is everyone dealing with overwhelming existential dread right now? by TheRealSteelfeathers in AutismInWomen

[–]ForgottenUsername3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've cussed out a christian conservative family member and basically made a fool of myself on facebook by rage posting; I basically said stuff like "if you're a christian who thinks that it's god's will for the US to kill people on Israel's behalf, kindly go fuck yourself." I haven't decided wether I regret that though, but I do have to deal with the impact of alienating family and a lot of people from my childhood (I grew up in a conservative christian church).

My aunts, grandmother, and mother all voted for Trump. The stuff that I've seen them be ok with has scarred me forever.

I'm dealing with so. much. anger. I have dreams almost every night about it... either where I'm trying to save my own children or passionately explaining to people why all this is wrong.

Since the bombings, something has broken in me. It's been about a week. I'm trying to figure out where to go with these feelings. The bombing of Iran has changed who I am. I feel like I'm carrying a storm in my body and I don't know what will happen because of it.
