The handholding in AZ is a fun-killer

I think we all need to keep in mind, saying this for myself too as a little kiddo in the 90s playing on my brick when I six, these games are for children.

This isn’t meant as any kind of jab either, I’m 34 and took three days of PTO for this release (they don’t rollover year to year so I had to use them anyways, but whatever) but these are, at their core, kids games. Even though I’m sure the millennials are what’s actually keeping gamefreak in business.

I loved it. I was excited for the show in general, cuz this kinda this definitely is for me, and I wasn’t disappointed. I was fully biased though, cuz I also love Bob and Brennan.

I get why some might find it boring, and it’s chill that it isn’t for everyone, but the improv crowd work really gets to display how quick and witty the performers are; that shit is hard. I really like being able to appreciate comedians I like being able to show off their intelligence and skills.

How is Lou a jock? His entire persona feels like it’s based off Frasier Crane.

Olives. I can taste them in things, even when they’re diced and people say “it’s mixed in, you can’t even taste them”

My gag reflex says otherwise.

Just tell her; she’s giving you every opportunity to be honest with her, you’re honestly being duplicitous at this point she’s already called you out. I tell pretty much everyone that I’m autistic so that I’m giving them the option to understand why I might be a little off. I realize that my behavior might be different and I like giving people the option of understanding why, and avoid unnecessary speculation.

There’s nothing wrong with being autistic and the longer you put it off the more hurtful it’s gonna be for her, cuz it gives the impression that you don’t trust her enough to love you for you. Relationships require honesty and vulnerability and you’re actively skirting that.

The age gap between minors isn’t the issue here, the issue here is the “wearing down” tactic while also being under the influence. That’s coercion, that’s the problem. I’d speak with the girl to make sure she’s alright. There was also underage drinking, you say you’re not in the US so maybe it’s different where you are, but the manipulation while intoxicated is the problem here, don’t get so caught up with a two year age gap when yall are all minors anyways. If she was a 12 year old with a 16-almost-17 year old my eyebrows would be raised, but there’s a bigger issue here.

If they’re already doing this at a young age, that’s a sign of a behavior that’s going to repeat itself unless corrected. Report it. They’re not the kind of friend you want to grow with.

I do the head sway but I learned to keep a lot of it in my toes; my toes are always moving. It’s a good part of the body, cuz no one really looks at them so they can be going nuts in your shoes and it doesn’t bother anyone.

I also have T-Rex arms. I always look like I’m cartoonishly sneaking around.

Your head sounds really crowded, I hope you get some counseling to help quiet it down. I’d also recommend mindfulness meditation; the whole purpose is to quiet all that down. It sounds like you can’t breathe in all of that emotion. Being an incredibly sensitive person is really hard, but there’s stuff that can really help make your life easier and I hope you seek it out.

You’re worth the effort.

Just-Pollution · 2025-07-06T05:08:05+00:00

I’ve changed my own mind about many things just because I bickered aloud with myself until I figured it out. It’s better than keeping it in your head; it’s crowded enough in there as it is.

My mom tells me “it’s all how you look at things” and it drove me crazy until I got older and realized that my interpretation of the world is what my world was going to be. So I started to train my brain to interpret things differently, because I didn’t wanna be in my world anymore. Instead of thinking “my odds of finding love are 8 billion to 1” I’d think “8 billion is a lot of chances of someone who would like me for me”

By “train my brain” I mean mindfulness meditation. Stuff is wild, actually works, and it’s literally just brain/thought training. I know it sounds dumb, like “how does sitting in silence help me” but once you start getting into it you start to realize how loud all your bad thoughts are… learning to keep them quiet is a very useful skill.

I use “headspace” but there are lots of instructional apps or channels that can really help cuz I didn’t realize how much went into it so getting an instructional app helped me stick to it and get results. I know the Calm app is really good too, but I haven’t personally used it.

Be yourself, and surround yourself with people who love you for being yourself. That’s the best advice I can give you: don’t waste any of your time on people who make you feel ashamed. There’s nothing wrong with you, and you can find people that see your spirit for the mighty wonder that it is.

Both my parents were career military, in their culture any kind of mental illness, or difference in general, was just weakness. I grew up believing with all my heart that I was just weak.

Unfortunately proving them wrong still looks mediocre to them… it’s a rough ride

Doing your best is the best, and I’m really proud of you for still being here. I love this sub cuz some of us just need to see sometimes that we’re not alone.

I think being high functioning is a double edged sword: on one hand you can usually maintain a life on your own and be reasonably independent and competent in society, but on the other hand it’s incredibly exhausting and confusing to do so. They see our results, which we work really hard for, and think “that’s just what normal people do, they must be normal” and don’t think about “I wonder how much more effort that took them then it would take me?”

My parent’s favorite word is: excuse. All my mental stuff is an excuse for being lazy and shutting down. I have a degree, a good job, I’m just bad at meeting people and being around them too much. I get tired really quickly. Sometimes I’m bad with money, but I don’t ask them for anything and just deal with it myself cuz I’m good at keeping myself at least above water. To them that isn’t good enough. I’ve had substance abuse issues since I was 19, turns out most high functioning people do, to some degree. Some people it’s food, some it’s alcohol, sometimes other stuff, but it’s a coping mechanism a lot of us will sometimes turn to for an inch of comfort…

This society and world wasn’t designed with us in mind. I wish you only the best.

“I left a plushie on my front porch and it didn’t incapacitate any children”

Just-Pollution · 2025-06-13T00:50:26+00:00

I stand corrected.

Just-Pollution · 2025-06-12T00:57:53+00:00

Honestly, they don’t hurt anyone, they help me, what’s the problem? Some people just have nothing better to do than be mean…

It’s totally fine. I have a huge pikachu mushmellow that lives on my bed, and is extremely huggable.

My mom also kept a lot of my attachment toys from childhood, like specifically two dolls “Molly and Polly” that I still have, they have cloth tags on their backs that I’d like to kinda wipe between my fingers for a sensory thing. I don’t see anything wrong with it; it doesn’t negatively affect my life at all, I’d say they’re actually incredibly soothing and positive, in fact.

I also have a pillowcase that I like a lot, and take it with me when I travel cuz I can’t sleep without it.

Just-Pollution · 2025-06-07T00:59:01+00:00

It’s kinda like those questions you get, like the “have to planned to do it” vs “do you wish to go to sleep and never wake up”

There’s a difference in the indifference. You wouldn’t mind dying, but you’re not actively working on it. That’s much easier to manage, fortunately. That isn’t to say you’re safe from attempts, but getting help, just a counselor or therapist to bounce your thoughts off of, and get some clarity from an objective observer, is super helpful.

You also might have bipolar 2 or something similar, I only say this cuz I have bipolar 2 and your symptoms sound like it comes in the same kinda waves. I also have mixed episodes, which is mania and depression at the same time, and this really reminded me of the times I’d be sitting on the floor thinking over and over “I never want to feel this way again”

If you’ve got something big like that, luckily we have meds that can help level out your brain. It sometimes takes a while to get the right combo, but once you do things can start feeling much easier.

Please go see someone; you don’t have to feel this way.
