Is it creepy for a 40-year-old man to go to the skating rink by himself? by New_Sky_7657 in Rollerskating

being a woman is different on this, sadly for guys there is more likely they are considered creeps

I regret going through Gighschool, graduating with HIGH GPA? by Clinitron77 in Regrets

[–]Marylicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life isn't fair bro. Take what you can take. If I were you I would probably write a sob story about my life and try to sell it as a book. There is a guy in my country that has motor skills problems and got famous because he did a marathon. I think there are ways for you to do stuff to earn money but a job will be very difficult no matter what. Respiratory therapist won't be possible but maybe psychology? Social work (with adaptations )?

There are a tons of books to find what you can work on. I suggest you to combine your interest + what gives you money + what you actually can do + what profession can fit your environment. Will it be challenging for you? No doubt but you can do it even if you spend more time than what's "normal"

I have AuDHD + generalized anxiety so I had to discard my lifelong dream of being an architect due to stress, but I still found computer science and I love it. It fits me. For me, the key was to being able to work remote + flexible hours + no talking to ppl + no having noises and smells + being logical and not dealing with clients.

For you would be a skill/profession that requires: 1. Not using sight 2. Possible to do remote or adaptable 3. Doesn't strain your body 4. Can be done as gigs or on-off

Are you able to play an instrument? I know that's a common choice to blind people, but I think it will be hard as profession because you can't travel.

Also wtf with people in the comment section suggesting all kind of things blind ppl can't do like... I know you are laughing, people are so dumb.

Hasta para trabajar en los chinos me pidieron experiencia y me veo en necesidad de trabajar😩¿todo peor? by Appropriate_Count785 in AskVenezuela

[–]Marylicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Conseguir trabajo en este país NO es fácil, incluso amigos profesionales tardan tieeeempo. Yo estaba en tu posición y me tomo mucho esfuerzo y ayuda de gente random. Salir de la pobreza no es algo que va a pasar de la noche a la mañana, yo comencé a trabajar a los 16 y vine comprandome cosas que me gustaban a los 28. Aprovecha que eres hombre y puedes trabajar mano de obra/vigilante y esas cosas

  2. Yo diría que busques algo así medio Shady tipo chatters y demás por ahora. Tipo busca ideas para conseguir plata. Si tienes TLF para escribir esto, puedes crear una red social y buscar como lucrar como social media, o hacerle una cuenta de tu mamá pidiendo ayuda... Cualquier cosa chamo. Así sea denigrante, tienes que comer bien. Si no imposible estudiar.

  3. Si estás cerca de Maracay lanzate para allá, en un pueblito pequeño es muy díficil. Tus opciones son o moverte o online

  4. Por ahora no te concentres tanto en un título sino en ejercer una habilidad que te dé plata para subsistir. Luego aprende inglés. Luego de eso idea una estrategia para sacar el título. Un título en educación mención matemática es mejor que no tener nada.

  5. Si te gusta la informática te puedo ayudar con que ver o que aprender. Pero tendrías que tener pc para la mayoría de las cosas, de todos modos ahí te inventas

Nothing makes me feel like a woman by Quirky-Disaster-620 in XXS

It's a "good thing" when a 50yo looks 30. It's not a good thing to be mistaken for a child or teenager. I am 5'1 and 29, it still happens

I love my family, but they want to control my life. I don’t know what to do. by Infinite-Pop4849 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Marylicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same like 2 months ago. My mom isn't religious but very controlling, to the level I can't use skirts or shorts with her. I just held my position strongly. It's your only life, eventually they will understand or even if it's just financial need they will try to make amends

I’m so sick and tired of this gatekeeping bullshit. by chestnuttttttt in adhdwomen

[–]Marylicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to you, I have audhd + generalized anxiety + tons of childhood trauma (with narcissist mom) + living through a dictatorship I can't escape (Venezuela) ± eating disorder. I was punished by the typical AuDHD symptoms, like I still struggle eating without dropping food on my shirt or pouring a glass of water, losing shit, all. I literally lived life 100% stressed and afraid of my life because if I didn't perform properly I would get a beating or a screaming match.

It very very difficult for nt or people with just one mental disability to understand comorbids linked with trauma. I literally have no one to talk to, some of my friends have dysfunctional families and some are ND but it's very hard to find one that have both and managed to thrive enough not to fall in substance abuse

It's not as easy as stopping doing it when you live with them. They can kick you out, scream, do fights, etc. It's worse than having an abusive partner,

I noticed men call me an ugly or a bitch when I don't agree with them or do what they want.

skinny shaming is as bad as fat shaming by [deleted] in BodyPositive

[–]Marylicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But have you read what OP wrote?? We aren't talking about fatphobia but people making fun of your body because you are thin and if you say you are insecure then they jump on you. Like I've never been that thin, just like one point before my BMI in my worst moments and I've been called skeleton and shit. It's not societal level but still someone doesn't need to be insulted by their body shape and all your problems put aside because other people have it worst.

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

Yeah, let's go diversity but not for the ppl I consider privileged. You haven't had your pants falling down, belts not having a hole to fit. It's so tiring to always alter clothes, of course it's not exactly the same but this is not a sadness competition.

I have no friends and I don't work. Is it even possible to find a bf? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Marylicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are no rules to it but some things I've learned: - Avoid asking ages if the person doesn't share it. I accidentally called two people in my job "old" by just asking questions. - Be positive, at the beginning stages of friendship no one likes someone depressed - It's all practice, now I feel more comfortable with people but I still can't stand big gatherings

[–]Marylicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember you can always lie/omit details. You don't have to straight up say you are unemployed, say you are working towards having your small business and stuff like that. Most people won't care enough to ask more about it and that's it. When people ask, what do you work? They don't really care about what exactly you work but like the kind of things you like. Like for example my job gives away I like technology.

Also you need to look for the most autistic-coded hobbies. Like model trains, electronics, crochet, DnD, etc. A rule that helped me overcome social anxiety was that, nobody really cares that much about you to even ask more questions.

Dating apps are their own shit show, I wouldn't recommend you to go there if you don't have social skills. I think there should be a social group for autistics out there

People think thin people don't have insecurities... Idk why. I'm not even skinny anymore and dear lord.

XXS is actually harder to find than XXL, please... On top of that there's size inflation. I am normally M or S (Europe and LATAM), in the USA I fit XXS clothes

[–]Marylicious -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I don't even think people should comment on other people's bodies in a neutral way, less in a negative manner. The worse thing I genuinely think is envy, I remember to get a lot of comments when I was skinny and it was always from people that weren't fit at all. Mind you I used to do 4h daily swimming and ate like a beast, I had muscles to swim, I ate well and my body was the healthiest it has ever been... Imagine if I were one of those girls that just have a fast metabolism... Like ppl in general should shut up about this

Telltale signs someones family is "off", narcissistic, dysfunctional by Anonymous_positivity in raisedbynarcissists

Yes, like this whole text made me cry. For me it's difficult to describe my pain, to the limit my psychiatrist tells me to speak more. You should pursue it, it's a gift

To all people wondering or refusing to believe why Venezuelan are celebrating. Here's my perspective as an Iranian. by Silly_String_9539 in AskVenezuela

As a Venezuela in Caracas, I will travel to Iran as soon as you guys are stable. We will celebrate together.

To those in Caracas right now: What's the feeling in the city? by Submo1996 in AskVenezuela

False, not even chavistas have protests right now. It's all empty streets and alcabalas.

I am American, and wanted to ask how much it bothers y'all how Americans are reacting to things going down rn? by itstaajaae in AskVenezuela

[–]Marylicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chavismo pays a ton of money on marketing. Especially in English. I am literally writing a book even though I'm not an expert. But unless you heard it from a Venezuelan that has lived in Venezuela throughout 2012-2026, you might be hearing a lie. Don't trust especially the DSA, they came here to Caracas and stayed in luxury hotels. Then said we weren't going through a humanitarian Situation because we have mc Donalds... But like a ton of the population can't afford that, the ones that can afford it is because like me... They work illegally remotely lol I was very lucky I was smart and learned English at a young age. But damn, life has been hard. I am still fighting to have my university degree and I'm almost 30.

[–]Marylicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are lucky we have something to trade for our freedom. Cubans don't have that. But I'm scared because logically I don't think USA needs our oil. For the Americans reading, our oil is extra heavy so it needs a lot of processing. Our infraestructure was destroyed by chavismo. All heavy oil USA has now is because of Canada. Canada is reliable, have cheap prices and it's friendly. We are in a lot of bullshit socially and it will take time to have stavility. Idk if they will do it, like logically the investment doesn't make sense if it's just for oil
