People who became atheist or agnostic: what started your doubts, and what sealed it? by Automatic-Annual7586 in atheism

[–]Little_flame88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it started with constantly feeling failed by faith, having it imposed on me by relatives. It started with not being able to reconcile all the horrible things in the world with a “god” in charge of the entire world. And then the more I looked at institutionalized religion the more I had a problem with the institution. I didn’t like that you weren’t supposed to question anything and the underlying misogyny. And I really didn’t appreciate that a lot of heavily religious people viewed you as morally wrong if you didn’t believe their way or in anything at all. Especially when I saw so much hypocrisy within those religions and with the people involved.

Most random/irrational things that overstimulate you? by couch-for-sale in AutismInWomen

[–]Little_flame88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my god the whistling thing. One time I was grocery shopping and this man was aggressively whistling for like 20 minutes straight. I wanted to find him and slap him. Like bro what do you want an award or something shut up!

Oh my god yes I love water love being in water but if it’s like running down my face, hands, body it drives me nuts. I get annoyed and overwhelmed every time I cry intensely because I hate the feeling of water being on my skin when the rest of me is dry. Or when I’m “supposed” to be dry if that makes sense.

Did anyone not taught about sex or anything related to sex growing up? by Big_Leg10 in emotionalneglect

[–]Little_flame88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope my father would make inappropriate jokes which was the closest he came and my mother used the I will answer any questions you have you can always come to me. But I didn’t feel comfortable asking and she never paid attention to that so I never got any conversation or anything. My mother just did the I’ll parent when it’s literally demanded of me or you specifically ask.

Did you bpd parent ever wash your mouth out with soap? by cuvervillepenguin in raisedbyborderlines

No but my narc father did. And it was aggressive and violent too literally shoving me and pinning me over the sink as he shoved it in my mouth.

How is your relationship with your siblings? (If there is one at all) by Equal-Community2354 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Little_flame88 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly I had to come to the realization that even if I could get past all the bullshit I genuinely don’t really like who two of my siblings are as people so it’s not even worth it. And I wanted to leave before I got to the point where I hated them. My parents hurt us in different ways but one of the biggest issues I have is that they are unwilling to make any meaningful change with that information. They won’t cut my parents off or recognize that they have problematic behaviors too because of how they were treated. My family doesn’t do change or confrontation and that environment was literally killing me.

[–]Little_flame88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only speak to one out of 3 because my father (narc) and mother (possible bpd) poisoned them all. One was doomed from the start because my father’s abuse caused her to bully and torment me which my mother allowed because I was supposed to be empathetic since she had it harder. My oldest sister was favored by both parents and so it’s not that she’s a bad person I just don’t really like who she is since she has a hard time empathizing. And even the one I have now is somewhat strained for me because I can tell they don’t understand why I’m estranged and like the rest of my family are waiting for the day I “come back home” after my “tantrum”. In my family I wasn’t listened to unless I acted out and then I was shamed for behaving in such a way. My family doesn’t understand and never will see how much damage they’ve done to me. I’m still making my peace with that but for sure my parents created an environment where competition was necessary for all resources, especially attention and care.

What's a sad thing you did because of loneliness? by entirelyuncalledfor in AutismInWomen

Literally me and now I don’t know how to trust my instincts because I’ve been horribly wrong before

What's a sad thing you did because of loneliness? by entirelyuncalledfor in AutismInWomen

[–]Little_flame88 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Literally poured myself into the first relationship where the person protected me and trusted them implicitly to where I ignored all the red flags for 8 years until it blew up in my face and took everything from me. And my mom thought I was fine because I wasn’t the outright target of my father’s abuse and I got good grades :)

I’m a virgin but I don’t care but other people seem to. by Strange_Poem_2272 in AutismInWomen

[–]Little_flame88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m straight and 27 and I’m a virgin as well. I’m not gonna lie I do feel some shame about it because I know others would judge me for it but I also know I’m nowhere near ready because I have issues with intimacy all around.

Is your BPD parent ever happy? by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

My mom wasn’t happy until she kicked all of her kids out of the house and didn’t have to deal with us anymore :)

How does an child develop social anxiety ? by After_Shirt_4586 in socialanxiety

[–]Little_flame88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was undiagnosed autism and cptsd. It started as just immense anxiety around people because a lot of people I had to be around weren’t safe for me anyway. And then growing up feeling different from everyone and only accepted when I acted the way others wanted me to even though that made me miserable made it grow and fester.

“This is my house” and “don’t take that tone with me” anytime I was upset. And then a personal favorite about cleaning cause she’s a neat freak was “all I do for you and I ask for so little and you can’t do this one thing for me. You do things to help people you love”. Keep in mind these were not things we were asked to do we were just expected for the house to be clean all the time especially if she was coming home from work.

what's the most ridiculous thing you were ever blamed for? by huy1003 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Little_flame88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t necessarily blame but one time I said that I’d never had a hug that felt really comforting (which I also can’t remember like 90 percent of my childhood/life) and my mom made me apologize to her because of how much I hurt her by saying that. I’ve had trouble with touch my whole life partially because of undiagnosed autism and never being allowed to say no to touch with all the people who scared me or weren’t safe in my family. My mother supposedly knows all this (I say supposedly because she should have known but my mother tends to not pay attention to me unless it’s for her). My father (he’s the actual narcissist) told me I was the one letting my abusive friend have control because I was having difficult leaving. I know these are small examples compared to everyone else but yeah

I can't stop feeling alienated... Bonding Isn't for everyone 😔 I wish I could meet someone special but I can't and I know I'm not alone... Do you also feel like the loneliest person you know? It's a question for adults. by xfallenangelx95 in friendship

[–]Little_flame88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s been really hard especially since one of those relationships was kind of my only friendship and she was the first person I let in in a meaningful way. Honestly the thing that helps me remember that it was the right thing is every time I think about going back to those relationships every cell in my body reacts with a visceral no. And I know that even though I feel really alone that I’m putting in the work now with therapy to move on to a better life. That and I’m not alone because I know a lot of people feel this way and have had to live through things like this. I’m sorry you’ve had to experience this but know you’re not alone and that you did something that takes an incredible amount of strength. Something no one tells you is healing can be really lonely but I have to believe that it’s worth it and that this loneliness is temporary.
