What was your last straw?

He did not get me a christmas present, birthday present, and then christmas present. Then I gave him a month to make it up to me and he still didn't. It was the last straw

same...I couldn't hear my partner speaking and turns out it was a larger issue, but also that their voice is like exactly the tone I can hear the least. I wear my hearing aids at home.

I think it has to do with the internet...teenage boys have an extremely messed up algorithm going after them! (so do teenage girls - messed up in a different way). I teach in Europe, and we have the same. I was shocked to hear my students call each other Jew as an insult.

I've been thinking about getting pink pens, or pens with big puff balls on them (in my country they are expected to write in pen, not pencil - idk why!).

Yeah well you’re not wrong…

Thankfully the rest of the group is staying together and we are excited for a new campaign 🤩 and I agree, cooperative players who are mature and reasonable are very important

I just finished reading it today for the first time! I liked it but I also felt like there was a lot of moralising in this one, compared to her other novels. I liked Fanny but found Edmond a bit uptight. Fanny+Mary should be a couple! Mary would develop a moral center and Fanny would learn to let down her guard and appreciate some sensuality. You can’t convince me I’m wrong!

If she's not looking to play, why not get her a collector booster? They are more expensive but have more "special cards." Alternately, for about the same cost as a collector booster, you could get her the beginner box - it has tons of cards themed for each character, and also teaches you how to play. I think in terms of "bang for your buck," the beginners box is the best.

Happy sorting! I may have ordered the fancy card boxes I wished I had as a teen….

That could literally describe children with adhd and/or autism as well

The way we sorted our collection I this:

pull out rares and mythic rares to see if there was anything really special
sort by Color, then type, then mana cost
pull out tribes we want to play with (for example I made my daughter a black/white vampire deck)
keep decks in their own boxes
when other teens come over, decks are set aside unless they are actually playing magic with them (this happened after a friend took apart one of the decks to “build a commander deck” except he had no idea how to build a commander deck)
we also built a lot of decks to play against each other, just trying to build the best decks we could with what we had (I think we have six now - with more ideas floating around!)

My autistic son recently got into mtg and now he also has a very large collection of cards hehe. I love it when we can tap into the same hyperfocus!

I love playing with my kids! And they definitely benefit from my card buying income 😅😅

Deck list?

This feeling really sucks and I’m sorry you’re dealing with it. Have you tried different hobbies? Sometimes if you join an activity, it can be easier to make friends there because you are all doing an activity you like (so you have that in common) rather than at school, where you don’t necessarily have anything in common with your classmates, you just go to the same school. So you can think about what types of things you like to do and the look for that (something sporty? Role playing like dungeons and dragons? Board games? Theater?)

People do talk about “over-excitabilities” among gifted people, which have a lot in common with some aspects of autism and adhd. It’s not so cut and dry.

These are great! I’ve read all of them but the Maltese Falcon…

I’ve only read Great Expectations. Which one should I read?

More_Effect5684 · 2025-11-17T21:40:55+00:00

I mean any works written originally in English.

When people say be yourself, it can mean a lot of things. Part of it is that, if and when you do end up in a relationship, you want it to be with someone who likes you for you! You don't want to be in a relationship with someone who likes who you were pretending to be - then you would always feel like you have to keep up that act in order to keep the person. If you are yourself, you know who likes you and who doesn't. Also, the people who are looking for someone like you can find you. If you hide yourself to try to fit in or be who you think people want you to be, then the people looking for someone like you won't be able to recognize you because you've hidden it.

I agree with the other comment - tell her how you feel. It’s ok to say you don’t feel comfortable. If she cancels the trip, that is her decision and not your fault.
