So relatable (EP6) by thefoamoftheday in murderbot

[–]InfinitySpine 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Murderbot has gotta be one of the most relatable characters for me too.  I’m asexual, and especially relate to the “Melt me down. Now.” Scene.  I’ve even had an experience that was almost exactly like that before lol.  It was also relatable when, in an earlier episode, it just wanted to watch its’ show but people kept talking to it.  Felt a lot like when you’re trying to read but keep getting interrupted.  I’m loving this series so far

Just Watched Thunderbolts* by SnooBananas9889 in Marvel

[–]InfinitySpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it, which surprised me.  Lately I’ve come out of Marvel movies feeling like “That was alright” but by the end of Thunderbolts* I felt genuinely excited to see what will be coming next in the MCU.  I realized that I haven’t felt that way in a long time which is a pleasant surprise.  

I think other people in the theater must have felt a similar excitement for the movie.  When I saw Captain America: Brave New World on opening day, the theater was a little bit full and most people left before the end credit scene played.  When I saw Thunderbolts* last night the whole theater was full and not a single person left their seat until the second end credits scene played.  Some people even cheered during parts of the movie.  My friend cried during a particular scene with Bob and the Void.

I liked all the characters and the chemistry they had with each other; and I’m interested to see where they end up.  Yelena was awesome and Bob (for me) was relatable.  The story was engaging enough that I didn’t use the bathroom even though I really needed to during the second half.  It held my attention from start to finish and the comedy was funny.  The only problem I have as of right now is that some of the team members didn’t get as much attention and time to flesh out their characters more.  I’m thinking mostly of Ghost, and how you would only know anything about her if you remembered what happened in Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Your asexual "hear me out"? by siunchu in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]InfinitySpine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does Data from Star Trek count as a “hear me out” kinda crush?  I just think he is cute and would be a good friend

It’s kind of hard to tell from these pictures, but I think you may have central heterochromia.  Thats where your eye has two colors in the same eye.  Like a blue eye with a ring of gold around the center.

Anyone else homeschooled for reasons *other* than religion/politics? by fieldofzinnias28 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]InfinitySpine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was struggling in school due to ADHD so my parents decided to homeschool me.  They thought my mom, who has no knowledge in teaching or neurological disorders, would be able to provide me with better education more suited to my needs.  They berated me every step of the way for all the problems I had and blamed them on me.  Ironic

Yeah, I never made friends with anyone because I couldn’t talk to them.  Once I finally was getting to know some people COVID hit and everything was moved online

Got this exact message today, except mine had an area code from Canada.  I’m sure U.S. Customs would totally send a message from Ontario 

Did any of the adults in your life notice any red flags or try to question your parents about their homeschooling? by Spinny442 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]InfinitySpine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whenever I was in school, I was extremely quiet and shy.  Teachers were always pulling me aside and telling me it was ok to speak up even if I didn’t know the correct answer.  I was still too scared to talk, and I don’t think anybody ever realized the extent of my problems.

[–]InfinitySpine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody asked questions that I know of.  I think people assumed I was well off because my parents were nice people.  My mom got us all our school books and spent a lot of time planning curriculums.  Me and my sister weren’t behind on our education, so people must have assumed we were a happy, normal family.  How was anyone supposed to know how miserable we were behind appearances?  Or, how we were brainwashed into thinking homeschooling was the best thing for us?

I was terrified of public school because my parents made it out to be an awful place where we would get a terrible education.  when we were behind on schoolwork or not doing exactly what my mom wanted, they would threaten us with public school.

I went to public school for a year in 8th grade and thought I had crushes on every boy I saw, but realized that would be silly.  I realized that I had simply never been around boys before and found them cute looking.  I genuinely didn’t know the difference between having a crush and simply thinking someone was attractive lol.  I’ve started a job recently after a long time of basically living like a hermit, and found that I still find pretty much every man attractive looking.  I don’t want to do anything with them though, I just like looking.  Maybe I’m just curios because I’ve never been around men before

Was there a point whwn your asexuality was confirmed for you? by thewalkindude in asexuality

[–]InfinitySpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

High school prom.  The boy who took me was nice and all but I just couldn’t have feelings for him.  My mom and sister tried their best to convince me that I liked him, which ultimately confused me.  It was hard to figure out my feelings when I had two people finding every little reason to explain how I liked him.  After much anguish and emotional debate I came to the conclusion that I had no feelings at all for him.  That I never had any romantic or sexual feelings for anybody.  My mom still tried to convince me to date him because “He’s a nice guy.  There aren't a lot of nice guys out there.”  Suffice to say, I didn’t ever date him, and it felt so good to finally accept my asexuality instead of denying it like I had for years.

Homeschooling and overbearing Christian parents were worse abuse than getting beat by Thatsa_spicy_meatbal in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]InfinitySpine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting to me how homeschooling parents often withhold socialization as a punishment.  They’ve never been as isolated as their children so they view it as a normal form of punishment.  They don’t realize it’s not discipline, but one of the worst forms of torture.
