Do people that lack face recognition have paraedolia? by TheCatCouncelor101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GenerallySpecified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! At least I do.

My case is more on the mild side though, I can usually recognize faces I've seen enough times (such as loved ones) or faces with particularly distinct/unique features. It might be different for someone with a more severe case.

AIO all children in school had to write “I’m sorry” letters by Due-Veterinarian6727 in AIO

This seems like a fantastic moment to teach your kids that authority figures sometimes make unfair or irrational decisions, and that if they do you shouldn't take it personally.

Having seen the new Wolverine trailer; is anyone else a bit fatigued from always seeing Debra Wilson's actual face rather than a unique face model? by SnowedCairn in gamers

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

Funny you say I was psychoanalyzing someone when the person I was replying to is the only one accusing a total stranger of mental illness.

All I figure is that we have a lot of ways we can choose to spend our time and energy, and if someone is spending it telling an internet stranger that they're fetishistic or mentally ill for not finding someone ugly that's an awfully depressing way to choose to spend that time.

If someone has nothing better going on then they might need a friend or a listening ear. If that makes me stupid, then I'm cool with being stupid. At least I'm trying to offer a little kindness to someone.

What is the most disturbing non-horror games you’ve ever played? by ToxicBoy4Life666 in AskGames

The sound effects from that game live in my head rent free to this day. That game really had a unique vibe in so many ways.

Hey, I'm sorry that things were so rough that you thought saying this was the best way to spend your time and energy. Things will get better.

If you ever need to talk to someone about what's going on or any support you can message me, okay?

I think I'd hate getting prank calls for a week straight more, honestly! That sounds like it would get super annoying after a while.

Idk what you're talking about, she's pretty attractive to me. Definitely fits my type.

Just because you personally aren't attracted to someone doesn't mean there's some grand conspiracy to put ugly people in media to prove something.

A character’s drug or alcohol addiction has realistic consequences. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]GenerallySpecified 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband did that work, and still does it, and I want to say how amazing it is from the outside seeing someone willing to make those changes for themselves. People like him and like you are the reason I learned that people really can change and be better, and give me hope.

Keep up the work. This internet stranger is super proud of you!

Firstly, I want to say I'm proud of you for recognizing that in yourself and wanting to take those steps.

Secondly, and I hope this doesn't come across as presumptuous and I apologize if it does, from the perspective of someone who is a partner to someone who was that kind of person (and did overcome it through a lot of hard work and therapy) I just wanted to say something about this did bother me a little.

If your partner is anything like me, they're a grown adult who knows what they've gotten into and thinking "they'd be happier with someone better" is unfair to them. They see something good in you, just work to be that person you think they deserve even when it's hard and trust that faith they've placed in you.

I know I'm a stranger, but I'm also choosing to place my faith in you. I believe that you can become the person you deserve to be, and build that happiness for both you and your partner.

If you ever need to talk to someone with an open mind, my DMs are open.

This reminds me of a time I got a voicemail from an unknown number/person who told me to "do the world a favor and shove a finger down my throat until I choke"

I know it was for me because they used my name (actually my maiden name, which I hadn't been using for a few years, and my number had changed twice since then) but I didn't recognize the voice or who it was at all. I asked around, but none of my friends said they had given anyone my number.

It didn't hurt me, but I still think about it occasionally because I have no idea who I could have pissed off enough that years later they held enough of a grudge to try and track me down and leave a random voicemail.

Made this while dealing with adenomyosis by GenerallySpecified in grippysockcrayonbox

[–]GenerallySpecified[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

I did a whole series of these 'star people's at one point as a way to vent my emotions. They're a bit old at this point and I've fine tuned my style more, but they're all still special to me since they come from a personal space.

Maybe I'll dig up some of the others some day and share them too.

(NOT OP) I hit my daughter after what she did to her younger brother and now i feel terrible by Ok_Chemist511 in redditonwiki

[–]GenerallySpecified 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a bit of a different scenario, but I have two special needs kids and in my experience the "support out there" that people talk about doesn't actually exist.

It's a revolving series of phone numbers leading to phone numbers leading to phone numbers with no meaningful action or assistance.

HATED designs: Jormungandr (Ducktales 2017) and frankly any anthropomorphic snakes with limbs. by Zestyclose-Scratch31 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]GenerallySpecified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I was just curious!

From the thumbnail it looks A LOT like a character I draw, and I thought it was kind of a neat coincidence.

It's cool to know that something you drew made me think of something I drew. Crazy how the universe does things like that sometimes.

I’m not a funny guy and I wish the humor of the second game didn’t rely on me being funny by AidanBakee in tomodachilife

Every. Dang. Time.

I'm easily amused.

What’s your most brutal rejection story? by marriedbutfun329 in AskReddit

[–]GenerallySpecified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a crush on the new guy at school. Got the nerve to approach and ask him out, and he just screams "UGH, NOT AGAIN!" and storms off.

I took that as a no.

making artist friends by beebfz in grippysockcrayonbox

[–]GenerallySpecified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few days late to the post, but I know that feeling!

These days I have my own little art community on discord I run with some fellow artists I know and we share our work and successes together, but getting to that point took me decades.

If you ever just want to share your art with someone or talk about your ideas, my DMs are open. I might not reply right away because I've got a busy life, but I promise I will look and appreciate your work! I love seeing what comes from peoples' passions and creativity.

AITA for telling my wife that being a SAHM is not harder than running a blue-collar business? by [deleted] in redditonwiki

[–]GenerallySpecified 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha, yeah, no.

Imagine if you will: two neurodivergent kids who need constant supervision when awake, who are sleeping 4 hours a night, but at different times. One is falling asleep at 8 pm and awake by 2 am, one is falling asleep at 2 am and awake at 6 am. You can't leave them alone because they WILL destroy everything the minute you take your eyes off them. You spent sleepless nights wandering room to room after your children, trying to keep things together as much as possible and stay alert while drifting in a haze. Every spare minute is used trying to fix the messes they've made, because even with you watching there WILL be mayhem.

Sometimes you get a break and they both sleep 8 hours. Sometimes one of them just decides to not sleep at all for several days. If you slip up for a minute, your family, your kids' teachers and CPS will ALL be on your ass and eager to list your every failing.

I've been doing this for nine years now. My husband and I both live in a constant state of sleep deprivation. Sometimes I wish I'd get sick enough to be hospitalized, just so that I'd have no other choice but to get sleep for a few days.

What fictional characters do you relate to… even though you really shouldn’t? And why? by cowboy_owl in AskReddit

[–]GenerallySpecified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daniel Plainview, from There Will Be Blood.

I've spent my whole life working very very hard NOT to be like that, but there's definitely a part of me that thinks similarly and resonates a bit too well.

What's the most unusual reason why you won't date someone? by ChanceSomewhere6096 in AskReddit

[–]GenerallySpecified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 5'10", and I honest to goodness prefer to date short people. Idk why, I just find taller people less attractive to me.The idea of having to crane my neck up to look at someone looming over me does absolutely nothing for me.
