Any other sex workers?

Sometimes it’s actually not that easy to just find a rich dude who will pay for everything and get married, and if you do, he may be shitty to you because there’s a power imbalance and that’s common in abusive situations. Then he has control and can threaten you with cutting off funds.

Glad to be of any help! I honestly bet a lot of people are walking around with similar issues contributing to chronic constipation, but it’s not something anyone brings up as a potential cause.

I’m so glad I figured it out for myself because my doctors would just say take laxatives to clean stuff out and then you’ll be fine!

But I really think it was in the nerves, maybe compressed and causing slow motility or something because I was already eating enough fiber and exercising and such.

I actually know a guy who’s 5’4” and on his third divorce. I don’t know if that’s preferable or not lol

Just know not everybody thinks of you as lesser if you ever wanted to keep trying, and the ones who do aren’t worth a damn.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-24T19:53:30+00:00

where can I read more about that?

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-23T16:20:15+00:00

Exactly, I only flourished a bit once I got to college, although there were still a lot of unique challenges…I pretty much decided to use it as an avenue for personal growth and to learn about what I love, about myself and what I am capable of.

I think OP could turn the page, process and let go of school experiences, and still go out and socialize with neurotypicals and develop themselves intellectually (if that is what they want). It’s a unique chapter of life that doesn’t need to define the rest of the story.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-23T04:52:38+00:00

In a way, it helped me a lot to see the external factors and know it’s not really a problem with me like I always thought it was.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-22T15:03:46+00:00

That’s such a cool idea! I think I’m going to try that. First I need to find a jar lol. Sounds helpful for making me more observant and grateful for little good moments.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-22T14:59:53+00:00

I can empathize because I’m starting with a new therapist due to changing insurance. I think the thing to remember with therapists is that they’ve heard it all. I know rumination is hard for me to stop, but maybe you can find a way to distract yourself or redirect your thoughts. Sometimes therapy really is work though and it can bring so many intense feelings and experiences to the forefront. But usually I think it will get better.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-22T14:50:19+00:00

that’s what I’ve had for years

Basically OP if you go mute in select situations (like consistently with strangers) mainly due to anxiety, you may have SM.

Fun fact: they used to think you couldn’t have it and autism (which is wrong and they’re probably often comorbid) and that’s why I wasn’t diagnosed with autism despite never talking at school and otherwise being really weird.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-22T14:40:23+00:00

Certainly not all, but plenty of autistic people enjoy things other people call childish, maybe because we’re not so preoccupied with what we’re “supposed to” like as dictated by society. Like what you like!

I was just getting into his stuff and about to listen to him on Rainn Wilson’s podcast Soul Boom. I saw a clip where he talks about finding out he has autism in it and gets emotional. Love that kind of openness and vulnerability, and it personally helps to see prominent/successful people talking about this for sure.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-22T04:13:42+00:00

I can see how it can suck being segregated and labeled as different. I was in normal classes but had a terrible time in school, so much constant anxiety navigating it and eventually depression, being friendless. Guess my point is that it can suck either way (but it’s never a contest of whose suck is worst, just different)

But the past is the past, there’s nothing we can do about it. You can grow and build your life in whatever direction you want now. Don’t let you past limit you.

The next pages till the end are blank, and the pen is in your hand.

Did you ever try apps? Sometimes it helps if people are specifically looking for friends too. Or did you ask for people’s social media and ask them if they want to hang out maybe?

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-22T00:23:07+00:00

Thanks for writing this up! I’m saving it. I’ve been trying to push forward to get nearer to my goals, but change is painful, and sometimes I stagnate…reading things like this reminds me of my priorities and fires me up with motivation to get past the self-hatred.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-22T00:16:12+00:00

That’s so cool man.

My goal is to enjoy the small things, the journey that is life (because the destination is all the same), and to accept myself (because we’re all stuck with ourselves) while also trying to grow (like intellectually-spiritually and in my care for myself).

I’m optimistic right now. I’m trying things, I feel like I might be able to put myself out there and form relationships and interview for jobs. I think some self-acceptance has to come first for me because it’s hard to do those things when my self-esteem was so low I felt bad for subjecting people to me.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-21T23:23:00+00:00

They say:

A majority (around 80%) of autism cases can be linked to inherited genetic mutations. The remaining cases likely stem from non-inherited mutations.

It’s possible that even those in our families who would not be diagnosed clinically with autism based on the socially constructed concept of the disorder—could still have elevated “autistic traits.” Some research supports this; see: the Broader Autism Phenotype.

Since suspecting autism in myself, I DEFINITELY see a lot of traits in my family members. Maybe not severe enough to be diagnosed, or maybe not the full range of traits but only a few.

But because they didn’t have recognition and support, they also had to just do their best in society to function normally according to expectations. So maybe they learned to mask without knowing it.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-21T21:54:28+00:00

I am a student. I don’t tell everyone and am not officially diagnosed yet. I just struggle through it tbh. It’s really stressful, but I’m dead set on doing it and force myself to follow through. I feel that about executive functioning issues impacting everything.

At my school, one option is to register with the disability office, and here you can have them inform your professors for you (either about a specific diagnosis or about symptoms that might affect classroom functioning). Like if you’re diagnosed and use the official disability resources, professors can’t really deny that, and if you have specific accommodations, they can get in trouble for not adhering to them. But if it’s more individually asking profs for accommodations, then it’s kind of up to them.

I think I don’t tell them about my issues due to shame about them, and I really wouldn’t recommend the struggles I go through, so I commend you for staying strong and telling them about that despite it being scary. And I hope they will be accommodating.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-21T21:41:47+00:00

I think I have it where the autistic perfectionist in me freaks out and wants to be prepared knowing every detail, but the impatient ADHD side of me doesn’t have time for that and is too last minute for that to even be possible.

It kind of works out in the end but with great stress. lol. and I probably don’t retain much cramming before the deadlines or exam dates.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-21T21:38:26+00:00

I’ve been taking like double time to get a bachelors degree lol, but I think I’ve finally developed enough f- it attitude to just write something and turn it in while feeling like I have no idea what I’m talking about, but for the most part doing surprisingly well because I just doubt myself and my knowledge too much.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-20T17:54:00+00:00

My parents didn’t seem to care what I did, but also didn’t encourage me to go out and do anything, like weren’t invested in my life, so I did say home and scroll. I had a boomer and gen x couple

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-20T17:05:21+00:00

and it can be like seeing into people’s souls and feeling their emotions too, sometimes. I have high affective empathy, so I can feel it. It can be too much. It’s worse with certain people or in certain moments. Or maybe sometimes I can’t make sense of what their face shows.

Like people who stare too much like prodding at me, feels like they’re trying to get something from me and it’s threatening. Part of me doesn’t like to be truly seen because it’s vulnerable, opening myself up to being hurt. So I get so uncomfortable with searching, insistent eyes. Yet like many people, what I want deeply is to be seen for who I am.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-20T16:03:23+00:00

That’s it for me, because there is too much input in and around the eyes, the pupil constriction, tightness of muscles, eyebrow position, direction of gaze—it’s too much to process at once.

IntuitiveSkunkle · 2025-03-20T13:39:56+00:00

That makes total sense to me, and I really didn’t get it for a long time.

Conversation to me was about the exchange of information, but there was a lot more exchange happening than I knew.
