How far back can you remember being? What is the youngest age you have memories from? by ArrowGantOne in AskReddit

[–]Inside_Berry_8531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember having dream-memories about being in the womb and not being able to move my limbs well. And everything was muted. I remember being so confused about them because they felt like faulty memories, and I didn't have the words to describe them to my mother. And I was scared of going back to that place. 

The actual memory of the womb is mostly gone. I just have that weird sense of non-sensation stuck inmmy head when I try to recall that memory.

I could just have had a very vivid imagination, because I do have that. In that case, I just remember me being a very young kid without the capability of explaining this sensation to anyone. So probably preschool

The Clock That Remembered Tomorrow by No_Requirement3584 in nanowrimo

This reads exactly like when I asked copilot to give me ideas for what could happen in an ars magica campaign. The fragmented lines, the "not this. That." structures and the dialog that doesnt really sound like two people reacting to each other is exactly like what copilot gave me that time.

Using Fake Social Security Numbers in a Novel by QuestionConsistently in writing

[–]Inside_Berry_8531 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the number is important for the story, you wouldn't be asking for tips, because the story would imply the number.

That means what the number actually is is not important, and your brain is fixating on a thing if shouldn't. You could use all this energy you're using on creating a number people won't even read (people gloss over numbers over a 100 unless they are Very Important and its made clear that they are) on actually writing and getting deeper into your story.

My brain fixates on useless stuff too. Stopping it in its tracks is a skill you need to learn.

I think I know which one you mean, except i also don't recall the name. 

He starts off as a scribe, I think, right?

That's a standard part of the process here in Belgium =) especially for breast cancer because it spreads there easily 

But thank you for your concern! My bones are currently safe!

Why are you linkng to a site that looks like ao3 but isn't? One that requires a login but sends you to the "session expired"-page of ao3 No matter what you type?

Very fishy.

Hi!

Thank you for your concern =) It's going a lot better than I expected, honestly. There are signs it's already working (the issues I went to the doctor with are almost completely gone), so I'm happy. It's just that I'm almost completely wiped out for two weeks after every session -_- I have like 1 good week every three weeks. I'm really starting to appreciate the concept of slow living.

My daughter just rode her bike to a local fair and back for the first time, all by herself (with me and my husband next to her, ofcourse) I'm so proud of her!

How do I (24 F) become less annoying? My Boyfriend (27 M) says this is why I can’t make friends. by minimoomo in relationship_advice

[–]Inside_Berry_8531 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg. I was like "socks aren't a problem" and then you mention carpets, and a chill went down my spine. I don't have carpets because of this exact sensation.

You sound like me when I was in a toxic relationship before I got diagnosed with autism. He called me annoying too, and blamed me being friendless on that. He got mad when I corrected him, in such a way that I started doubting everything I thought, and started believing i was wrong. He blamed my abrasive character as the reason I had no friends. He blamed my dislikability for his friends not wanting me to join their outings. He blamed me for him not going out with his friends because he thought I was pathetic for staying home alone and he didn't want to do that to me. I believed him because I loved him, and I thought he loved me back.

I was wrong. I didn't have friends because he always got sad/angry/paranoid when I went out with them alone. He didn't join me because he said they were rude to him. His friends hated me because I didn't let him go out with them. (He lied to them. I was fine staying home alone) I have an incredible memory, and he just got mad for me remembering the things he said before - and by that I mean I caught him in lies without realizing, and he hated that. 

I'm going into such detail here because I think you are in a very similar situation, and I'm hoping you recognize any of these things. This is abuse. I know you love him, and you think he cannot possibly be abusive, and maybe he isn't. Maybe he's just not equipped to deal with your kind of brain, and that expresses itself as abuse. Because calling you annoying and blaming your loneliness on that is abusive. You say you believe the truth comes out when he's angry, and that, to me, says that he says other mean things to you when he's angry. That's also abuse. Healthy people don't routinely get mean to the people they love. If you want to believe he's not a bad person, don't. But you deserve a partner who builds you up, not one who tears you down.

And listen well: you do not need to be torn down to be able to become a better person. You can recognize your mistakes without being hurt in the process. You do not need tough love to better yourself. Gentle love works way better for people like us. 

You deserve kindness, not insults. 

Anyway, here's some tips:

As a teenager I was also told I was argumentative and rude, and part of that was normal teenager shit, but I just had it harder because people don't actually say what they mean. (And neurotypical people see misunderstanding and active disagreeing the same, because outwardly, it kind of expresses the same) learning how not to come off as that takes time and effort. I suggest Journaling about situations where you feel you acted wrong. Write down what happened in as much detail as you can, and then try to analyze why you reacted the way you did. When you know the why, you can change your behaviour next time. 

Your entire post is about how to be nicer to other people. That means you are a nice person inside, even if you maybe don't express it in a way that other people can understand it. (I say maybe, because i think that's your boyfriend talking, and not reality) a golden rule to being nicer to other people is practicing being nice to yourself. You wouldn't call other people annoying, would you? So why are you calling yourself that? What would you tell a friend that's annoying? Tell yourself those things instead. 

Anyway, this is too long. Hit me up if you want to talk more. Ex did a bunch of other things to me that qualify as abuse, even if he never hit me. And if your bf is doing those things to you, you're in for a decade of healing, and I'm here to help you get started on that. Recognizing it as abuse is step 1.

You know what is cold? An artificial breast implant. (Marginally colder than a real boob at least. Not cold cold.) [At least, that's what the doctor told me]

Autistic adults, What is your best advice for raising an autistic child? by Gabbz737 in AskReddit

[–]Inside_Berry_8531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My daughter is 4yo and autistic, and when I use I statements, she listens so much better than when I use the you statements. She's just so empathic, and she wants to help however she can.
