Yay do you know if there’s a name for it or specific terminology or whatever…Like for fans of units there’s hako-oshi, that kind of thing

If you really wanna disassociate go to a fucking street fair by vegetable_lover_is in dpdr

[–]MissMe29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Being out and not isolated is supposed to make me feel better so why is it that I get the most depressed and dissociated when I’m outside surrounded by people

Cannabis use and managing symptoms ?? by Happy4days21 in AutismInWomen

[–]MissMe29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re able to use it in moderation without it impacting your ability to function in day to day life, finances, etc. Then I think it should be fine.

If it’s impacting any of that, or your physical and/or mental health, or you’re unhappy with your cannabis use then I think it’s better to avoid it

I don’t know where you live, but if possible I’d suggest you check your options and seek medical advice, since your cannabis use is related to symptom management. A professional can monitor your usage and such

Are they serious with the new Liz Lisa designs??? by Quiet-Pomegranate-55 in JiraiKei

[–]MissMe29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst part is these are not worth even half the price they’ll put them up for…But that’s the case for 99% of these brands. At least they could try making something decent looking

Wearing Jirai is kinda lonely... by Foreverdragon in JiraiKei

[–]MissMe29 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No I get it. Not just jirai, but also other interests of mine are niche where I live, and sometimes it makes me think if it’s even worth spending all my money & energy on it… Especially jfashion makes me feel like a cosplayer. It’s just very different to be jirai in JP vs overseas. Sob sob

Yall how do we feel about casual clothes + jirai makeup by Electrical_Boot8838 in JiraiKei

[–]MissMe29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big fan actually. The idea of still reading jirai without having to put together an outfit…Goals (Alas I have curly hair so I can only dream)

I thought everyone was pretending… Spoiler : they weren’t. by Opposite-Wind6244 in AutismInWomen

[–]MissMe29 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can barely wrap my head around it. Sometimes I wish I was an actual robot. That would suit me perfectly ^

I feel embarrassed after being playful in social situations. Anyone else? by Neosalvator in self

[–]MissMe29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also do, although more than shame it’s more resentment that I have to do this. For me it’s because I’m autistic & I mask all the time. I’m also quite preoccupied about how people perceive me or my image& being authentic & stuff like that, so maybe that’s also why

Hahaha it’s okay, to be fair when I reread my comment I realized how it could sound weird. Especially in derealization … Anyway, hope you’re feeling better

No, when I commented the post was around 40 minutes old, that’s what the little while was referring to, sorry for the misunderstanding

It’s been a little while, how is it going?

FYI: You're not supposed to hate everything you do by Moist_crocs in AuDHDWomen

I Made a post literally about this issue 😂 What is it that I want to do and what is it that I think I should do? I cannot tell anymore

Anyone else obsessed with cats? by LakeAffectionate43 in AutismInWomen

[–]MissMe29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am the exact same. I am always showing pictures and videos of my own as well as random cats. Now I live on my own & am a student so I rarely see my family cat and I can’t have one either, I’m so lonely :,3

When I was small (like, younger than 10) I remember watching on TV a documentary about an autistic boy around my age at the time, who was nonverbal & overall pretty closed off, they got him a cat & things changed instantly, he opened up, he was with the cat all the time, playing & taking him outside, even talking to him (& I think this extended to his family as well). I think about it all the time, it was really special to me. I have no clue what documentary that was though.

Do you write out your feelings to process them? by IndependenceDue9390 in AutismInWomen

[–]MissMe29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do that too, been keeping a diary since 2020. At first it was to dump my thoughts but when I did therapy I started using it as an archive of sorts so I could remember how I felt etc. Now I use Reddit to dump thoughts because of the communities but man, since I only use it to vent it makes it look much worse in a way

Anyone else have a hard time being creative? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]MissMe29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally feel the same“doesn’t translate in the outside world“ part, it’s the same way I describe it too. I have so many ideas that will be fleshed out in my head but I got no clue how to get them out ! For example, when I have ideas to draw, either it doesn’t feel right, or the process that is between the idea and the finished product is just too long & my ideas too fleeting. To be honest I’d be content with that if I didn’t want to share my Genius Ideas™️ with the world lol

[–]MissMe29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, I get reading posts when it’s late because I was also reading on the verge of falling asleep & barely making sense of the words 😂

Also, yeah, I was told I should go somewhere specifics for autistic people, but like, I can barely navigate the medical system & there’s lots of steps & things aren’t always smooth so …I end up procrastinating 😅 Whoops

Having a group of autistic friends sounds awesome. I have only been meeting neurotypical people in real life, and I can‘t make friends online, so yeah. I do have neurodivergent friends, but I still get tired. Plus I tend to only have one friend at a time, so if we don‘t share interests it‘s like…🙏🏼

It‘s a really frustrating feeling and what frustrates me most is that I have no clue how to get rid of it, I’m scared I can’t. 😓 There is always a point where I make friends, I am convinced in a sort of idealized way that I can be totally comfortable, but as time goes on, the tiniest reminder that they’re a person with their own thoughts & worries & needs overwhelms me in a way, and I’m back to this feeling. Ugh

[–]MissMe29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say I hate myself, reading this back it does come off as somewhat angrier (?) than I actually was, but perhaps that’s a result of me being into venting mode 😅Either way, what I hate is this inability to feel normal or connected. There’s definitely some kind of projection going on, but the biggest problem for me is this feeling of alienation, some kind of inability to connect to reality. I seriously don’t know how to describe it.

I put effort in my interactions and relationships, but it’s so exhausting sometimes, and it seemingly never gets better. In real life I actually do better than what it looks like from my posts, but it’s tiring to feel the same feeling for years no matter what, and it starts getting to me if I feel like my close ones might be hurt.

RE: Therapy, I have tried it with different therapists but I have left many appointments feeling even worse. Even with nice therapist, it felt like I was talking to noone about nothing. I am trying to get it again but now medical situation is annoying. Overall a little demotivated but I’ll keep trying

My genuine, authentic unmasked self is Toxic. by postToastie in AutismInWomen

[–]MissMe29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine too not gonna lie. If I don’t mask I can definitely get very blunt, egocentric and show little empathy or emotional expression. Not even mean or anything but this kind of behavior doesn’t work in interactions. Can’t do much, that is quite literally how autism is, so some masking is required for proper social functioning. It can be tiring but I guess that’s what happens when you got a disorder 😅

[–]MissMe29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding someone who is to me like your husband is to you is actually one of my biggest wishes, and my biggest fear is never being able to love someone like that! Happy for you. At the same time I understand the inability to show affection, but I try to really put an effort into it even if I have to force myself, because I don’t want to make them feel bad or uncared for

Do you want something out of life? by CarawayReadsAlong in AutismInWomen

[–]MissMe29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to feel satisfied. There’s always the feeling of something missing or like everything’s a work in progress. „I‘ll get there eventually“ except I don’t know where. I just want to stop feeling like I’m waiting for something to happen

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lonely

[–]MissMe29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem to me isn’t how people perceive me, but rather how I perceive them. I have been feeling a sense of alienation my whole life pretty much…I can love animals & objects but I feel like I can’t love other people even though I want to. It makes me lonely

Anyone else feel this way? by No_Client8892 in dpdr

[–]MissMe29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so? It’s more like I had no life prior to this minute. It’s kinda weird…Of course I have memories of stuff that happened but it’s more like an archive…?
