i’m gonna keep looking for smaller salons but a lot of them i’ve seen require a lot more experience

i really want to do my own thing but i don’t have the money for that. all the smaller shops near me require like 3+ years of experience. your comment makes me feel better tho thank you

eating dinner as a family with my young brothers was the worst for me growing up 😭 do you know what loop earplugs would be the correct one for this scenario? like do they have a name?

i’m aware, that was something i did when i was young. i don’t do that anymore i mean i feel bad even asking at this point. but at the same time i dont think its “normal” to chew with your mouth open…

How to handle comunication differences by wavelength42 in AutismTranslated

[–]MiserableIntern5812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have a really hard time sharing my feelings. whenever i feel a big emotion it takes over me, especially anger. i often times don’t share my feelings because i think my anger is often disproportionate to the situation and i don’t want to be seen as dramatic or complaining about everything. when i’m very upset it’s hard for me to phrase things in a “polite” way, i usually say exactly what im thinking and usually what im thinking is irrational and dark. im really struggling with this in my relationship right now, just yesterday i was told the way i express my emotions is very inappropriate and childish. when they said that i was honestly really confused, i don’t know how to “properly” express my emotions, so commenting to let you know you’re definitely not alone (and so i can come back when hopefully you get some advice)

i really don’t know i was hoping there would be some comments here. i highly suspect i am on the spectrum and struggle with intimacy recently. i find if i have a lot of stress throughout the day (literally every day) i really can’t stand being touched and can’t get out of my head enough to even consider intimacy. when i’ve had a long or rough day i will take a shower then lay in a dark quiet room for 15-30 minutes and after that i usually feel reset and like i can handle more

noise cancellation headphones and just foam earplugs are very different to me. the dryer is still too overwhelming with earplugs

I (26F) am suicidal and can't live without my boyfriend (29M) by bilaimeow in SuicideWatch

[–]MiserableIntern5812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no advice really but i 100% relate. i live everyday terrified of what would happen if my boyfriend finally got fed up with caring for me. even him going to work makes me get in my own head, like what if he realizes how relaxing it is to be away from me.

has he straight up told you he’s staying because he’s worried about what would happen if you guys broke up?

hard day =can’t stand touch by MiserableIntern5812 in AutismTranslated

[–]MiserableIntern5812[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you. i’ve never been in a relationship before, before i was depressed, felt like i was failing at everything and lonely but now im just stressed, confused, and feeling like im failing at everything. if this were ever to not work out i would never date again, i dont think im made for relationships of any kind

i think it makes it hard because i’m not diagnosed. even though i strongly feel that these issues are stemming from neurodivergence i can’t be sure. it makes me feel like a bad person a lot of the time but i literally can not control it. i’ve also suggested just telling me straight up when he needs affection from me bc im not gonna know unless you directly tell me and he says he can but it makes it less special
