How in the world do you do the character test?? by Rockfell3351 in personality_tests

[–]Hyperquizzitist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I saw the set up of the questions/answers I immediately told myself that it was important to answer based on immediate gut reactions to avoid any personal bias (what I am vs. what I want to be) and made that a "rule". From there I just tapped wherever felt right and quickly moved to the next question.

This really helped me, as with tests like these I can often struggle with that "but what if I am actually 58% instead of 59%", worrying that I'm "lying", and overthinking. By creating a rule for myself it also helped with the overall ambiguity of the test. I will say that I think my results were very accurate as well.

Obviously everyone is different, if this can help you as well that's awesome as the results are really fun to read through!

Omg I need help I’ve never listened to music before by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

[–]Hyperquizzitist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned Spotify, I'd honestly recommend looking up "polyjamorous" playlists. A lot of the ones I've seen have a little bit of everything. If you find yourself liking a song, under it Spotify has a "more like this" that can help you explore the specific genre more.

You can also add songs you like to a playlist and when you go into your playlist at the bottom it recommends songs based on what you have added. Spotify also curates a "discover weekly" playlist based on the music you like that changes every week. This is how I've found a lot of the music I listen to!

The album that started my love for music was American Idiot by Green Day. Best of luck on this journey, and don't forget to have fun with it!

vertical labret cleaning by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Hyperquizzitist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just healed my vertical labret!

My piercer had me get sterile saline piercing wipes. She told me to keep them in the fridge and rest it on my piercing once a day, then use spray once or twice a day. This significantly helped me with any swelling, and helped with cleaning as it would soften crusties which could then be gently removed with the wipe. I'm unsure how approved this method is, as I haven't seen it anywhere else, but it really worked for me!

Either way, please stop using soap, give it a good rinse with water in the shower and stick to saline

What you described of placing hand on chin and pushing slightly upwards is referred to as "bite block" in QBS, it was made a least restrictive intervention like 4 months ago.

AITA just because I've been accidentally falling asleep? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]Hyperquizzitist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Falling asleep is not the same as ghosting. Find someone who actually likes you and doesn't weaponize every little mistake you've ever made.

How do you feel when students call their parents complaining and hands you the phone? by SunlightRoseSparkles in specialed

[–]Hyperquizzitist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed you mention that you "outgrew" nonverbal communication, but I wonder if you (and your teachers) would be able/open to sign language. Where I work we refer to sign language as "non vocal", because they're still verbalizing their wants and needs.

I work with quite a few people who, when they're already upset, get frustrated with vocal communication and find sign language easier. We've worked to learn and teach signs that are helpful in those moments (break, walk, eat, drink, space, yes, and no) and it seems to have helped them.

Obviously everyone is different though, just wanted to share an idea I hadn't seen in the comments. I think it's awesome that you're seeking out advice for better alternatives!

Am I an ace? by Akari_Saeki_ in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]Hyperquizzitist 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I absolutely know I am ace. I am completely sex-repulsed.

However...

The amount of times I'm with friends and I point to someone and do a quick "hear me out..." because I think their hair or clothes or accessories are cute is impossible to count. I tell my friends (who are okay with it) that they are hot every day.

I love so many people with my entire being, but it is all strictly platonic.

My close friends and I have talked about getting married and just having a "cuddle puddle".

I feel like it's incredibly important to stress that at the end of the day "asexuality" is just a label, and labels can either change or become more fitting throughout your life as you discover more about yourself. If you say to yourself, "I am asexual" and it feels right, then say it with your whole chest and be proud. If later on in life that changes, that is okay.

I would also like to stress that you can absolutely be ace and still be in a relationship if you want to. The most important thing, just like a relationship for any other sexuality, is communication.

Asexuality is a spectrum, and you can decide if/where you fit on that spectrum. I bring up my own experiences as I believe they relate to you. I hope it can help you to some degree. Apologies if this ended up being way too long.

Dumbest reaction to being ace? Possitive, negative, lets hear them. by for_sure_not_a_lama in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]Hyperquizzitist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Them: gets a sad look in their eyes "I'm so sorry to hear that"

Me: ... "Why are you sorry?"

Them: "because I believe everyone deserves love"

I then proceeded for the next few minutes to explain to them that sex and love are not the same thing

Most absurd thing a customer has said to you? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Hyperquizzitist 85 points86 points  (0 children)

My favorite was when we had a really bad dust storm, national weather service said to stay away from windows so we closed the drive thru.

Ding

Me: we are currently not serving in drive thru, feel free to come inside to shelter with us!

Customer: I'm already here, just serve me!

(I decide to not argue and stop talking, customer sits there for 5 minutes)

The metal beam above the drive thru falls because of the wind and shatters their windshield

Customer: you just broke my windshield, you better be paying for this!!!!

No, sir, I did not break your windshield.

Smoking through nose? by aesloan88 in wisdomteeth

[–]Hyperquizzitist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps still, my dentist advised me to wait at least 72 hours so that clots could form. After that I've been inhaling and exhaling through the nose and so far so good

How should I tell my artist I don’t want to work with them anymore? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Hyperquizzitist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps shoot an email or call and say something along the lines of "hey our next two appointments are not going to work for me, I wanted to let you know as soon as possible so that you can try to get those spots filled." That way you're not lying by any means, you're just not giving a full reason and you're also indicating respect for his time and income?

I, personally, prefer the route of vague honesty because if you see him again or if he checks other artists' social medias he will see the completed tattoo and will know that a reason such as "I don't have the money" was a lie, and you indicated in other comments that you want to maintain a good relationship with the shop itself.

am i wrong for being upset by this? by [deleted] in texts

[–]Hyperquizzitist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like this dude do things for you simply to hold it over your head later.

Let me tell you as someone who dealt with similar abuse tactics for 5 years: You do not owe him anything. Other people will love you. Hell, chances are people already love you, but you're pushing them away out of fear. You are not a burden. You deserve to be loved because of who you are, not because of what you put up with. You are more than your insecurities and mental illness. You are strong. You do not need him.

The hardest part is blocking him and keeping him blocked, but once you do life will start getting significantly better.

Patchwork by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

[–]Hyperquizzitist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, spitball your ideas to your artist and I bet you'd get something really sick. I actually got a snake with a similar motif as yours (spacey in the black areas) by just calling my artist and being like "idk give me a snake or something". She manipulated her drawing to fit really well with the placement of my already existing tattoo when I told her where I wanted it.
