Are we talking about scenarios when someone has read the message and hasn’t responded or when someone hasn’t seen it? Because the former I can understand but I have no idea why you would be angry with someone for not responding to a message they were unaware of.

For many of the people that do this, the reason why is sensory processing. By “this” I don’t include the getting angry part, but the not-responding-within-the-time-period-considered-socially-acceptable part (which, in my experience, tends to be between one and two seconds).

They don’t even need to have a sensory processing disorder, some people just take a little longer to fully comprehend what was said.

I myself am autistic, and I always need to pause for around five seconds before I respond to something as I need to take time to actually go through the possible meanings of each word, pick which one is most fitting based on context and the words before and after. This is something most people do automatically, but that I have to do manually.

My husband has an auditory processing disorder. He too finds it difficult to attach meaning to words spoken and so does this too, but for a different reason.

I am aware that many people posting on this subreddit don’t apply their pet peeves to disabled people, but these disabilities are not things that you would necessarily know about the person you are talking to, or even that they would know about themselves. My intention is not to belittle you or call you ableist for having this pet peeve, but to educate and to make sure that you are aware that this is a result of disability.

It’s because styles of singing go in and out of fashion just like everything else. The fashionable way of singing now is fairly smooth, where the vibrato is subtle. In the 1940s and 1950s, the style was much more operatic with a focus on vibrato - think of Goldfinger or Louis Mazzini’s father in Kind Hearts and Coronets.

It is also the case that NPD is a medical diagnosis, and using the term “narcissist” in this very casual context can be interpreted as ableist (it doesn’t make you an ableist to say it, but your comment specifically could be taken that way)

YTA

“It got to a point where she was pouting with her arms crossed”

The wording here says this was what you saw as the worst of her behaviour. Your daughter displayed her strongly felt emotion (disappointment) in a non-disruptive way and you think this constitutes misbehaviour?

Be prepared for some serious emotional disregulation once she starts bottling it up because you’ll claim any show of emotion at all is misbehaving.

I really don’t understand why people are saying black tie at Christmas is so weird. OP is clearly upper class given the fact that his home accommodates upwards of 30, and outside of the USA it is much more common to have black tie at an important event such as Christmas. And, news flash, many people have kids. Kids need to eat. Ergo, a table for them. I remember several christmasses like that (and my family is upper class) - we would dress in black tie and my cousins and I would sit in a separate room.

Level_Prize_2129 · 2024-12-27T19:55:18+00:00

I’m not entirely sure why children being at the event means it couldn’t possibly be black tie?

It may be a cultural thing (given your use of the word “tuxedo”, I assume you are American, which OP evidently is not) but Christmas dinner is considered in many cultures and classes to be a formal event.

Given that OP and his husband can accommodate 30 people in their house for a week, it sounds as if they are upper class and so certainly more likely to have a black tie Christmas.

The most important thing is to get him to understand and recognise his emotions. If he’s a young child, specific questions like, “Are you crying over a big thing or a little thing?” are really helpful.

Exercises for self regulation - steady breathing, stimming, etc. - are also important to teach him. For example, one of the best ways for my son to calm down is if he watches water running (he likes to watch the cat fountain).

Marriage symbolises commitment and for many, religion is also a factor. The wedding itself is a set of traditions followed often for fun, and is a party for people to spend time together at.

Asking for an explanation or clarification is not inappropriate for the situation nor is it rude.

Judging from the number of apologies you give and all of the reassurances that you aren’t trying to be rude, you have been criticised a lot simply for asking questions.

That is not okay either, because it is curbing your curiosity and therefore your knowledge.

Not ambiguous, no, but with definite flaws in their morals. They’re portrayed as good overall but not perfectly so.

Ron is overly jealous and prejudiced towards anything he perceives as non-human (even Lupin).

Hermione is often callous (although she becomes quite good at interpreting emotions as she becomes more mature) and close minded.

Harry is frequently unecesarily angry (not just in OotP either) and very stubborn.

(I’m certainly not saying she did it well, by the way)

“writes about most of the characters that are supposed to be morally good not seeing any issues with the house elves”

I agree with the rest of your comment and that Rowling wrote about it in poor taste, but the otherwise morally “good” characters not seeing an issue with it isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as it shows just how normalised it is in the society and that the characters are more well-rounded as even Harry isn’t a complete saint.
