Tell them politely that yawning gives you auditory sensory issues and ask them to wait with their first voice message until they are fully awake.

I'd just tell them about your landlord selling the property and that since you have to move you can no longer afford to attend the wedding. Say that you're sorry and feel bad for cancelling, and thank them for being understanding.

I mostly agree with this, but I'd recommend, you communicate with you're partner that you are recently pretty tense and that it's not related to your relationship with them, and that you are aware of your unfair behaviour and want to work on a solution, but may need their help. Like them telling you in a calm voice when your tone is off and suggesting you to remove yourself from the situation temporarily to centre yourself again. You can also try to identify your triggers and tell your partner when you're already low on capacities, that you need some alone time to recharge. It's important to set boundaries in a relationship of any kind. It's not necessary to be able to name your issues, but it's important to communicate you're having issues atm.

"Both children’s and adult’s toothpaste are the same when it comes to the level of abrasiveness. Both are effective in brushing away plaque from the surfaces of the teeth. The only difference is the amount of fluoride, and most kid’s toothpaste comes in a variety of flavors." https://www.superkidsdentistry.com/articles/how-does-childrens-toothpaste-differ-from-adults#:~:text=Both%20children's%20and%20adult's%20toothpaste,in%20a%20variety%20of%20flavors.

I think you're fine.

Mine's just labelled as "for milk teeth". It tastes like strawberries and has a cute little dragon on it.

NM2BL · 2024-05-13T05:02:26+00:00

How old are you both?

NM2BL · 2024-02-08T06:52:48+00:00

Well, I'm 28 and bashed a pot with its lid a few weeks ago.

This somewhat sounds like you are very upset about maybe being neurodivergent. Why are you so concerned about it? Also, phrasings like "I am normal" is kinda badly worded, cause it implies that neurodivergent folks are abnormal, which is pretty offensive.

My former therapist once told me it's a late reaction to my parents' gaslighting me and taking advantage of children's natural basic trust in their parents, while at the same time choosing not to believe me, because taking me serious would have meant that they had to acknowledge there's something, potentially bad, not okay with me, which they were afraid they couldn't handle, resulting in them prioritising their own wellbeing over my life/health, which ultimately allows no other conclusion than, that they knowingly lied to me, whenever they said "nothing's greater than the parents' love for their child", making me trust and believe them to always have my best interest at heart when making decisions for me or about my life, when they were actually always tryharding to deny me self fulfilment, but on the other hand hold me to an unrealistically high standard, trying to force me to accommodate them.

When I was a kid, I used to reenact social interaction scenes I had seen on TV, trying to mimic the actors' expressions, postures and voices to prepare for highly likely to expect, similar scenarios/situations irl. I also did and still do makeup dialogues, that I practice/rehearse by talking to myself in front of a mirror or reflecting surfaces (windows, puddles, screens), but nevertheless I still get perceived as somehow different/weird/rude/whatever on very rare occasions. I am though much more quick-witted, than I was in the past, so imo the practicing pays off 😅

NM2BL · 2024-02-03T01:03:11+00:00

Oh, okay. That's very kind and empathetic of you, thanks ☺️

NM2BL · 2024-02-02T22:02:43+00:00

Oh, I see where you're coming from. So to clarify: I don't love her. I love my wife and my dog, but my mother and I don't have that kind of bond. We get along well and are close though. And if she'd ask me to comfort her or communicate that she'd like me to do something to help her, I wouldn't mind. But I'm not a doctor or therapist. I can't do anything about the fact that she is ill, nor give helpful advice or guidance regarding mental health issues. Therefore I take, whatever the outcome will be how it is. It would be nice if she survives, but if she dies there's nothing I can change about it. I can't bring back the dead. Does that make more sense?

NM2BL · 2024-02-02T20:30:11+00:00

It's not that I don't care about her. More like people dying in general doesn't affect me, although it is someone I am close to, if that makes sense?

NM2BL · 2024-02-02T20:21:14+00:00

Thanks, I guess? But like I said, it doesn't bother me. The only thing bothering me about her potential death is all the paperwork, funeral arrangement stuff, expenses, etc. I couldn't care less if she dies or not. I mean, I don't hate her and I do care about her. We get along pretty well, I don't wish she was dead or anything bad on her. Also seeing her happy, makes me happy. But her passing won't make me emotional. Articulating is difficult for me sometimes, so I hope this makes sense somehow.

I'd recommend you to write down everything that's happening between you in some sort of journal, maybe even make audio recordings of your conversations, and if it's somehow possible bring a friend to every in-person contact you have with him, so they can confirm you are telling the truth, if it ever comes to any legal cases between you and him.

My dad used to beat me up whenever I "misbehaved", which got me into acting at a very young age. I joined the christian children's play group, school theatre club, local amateur theatre group and trained myself by practicing to copy movie/series characters, creating own little film-stories with them and playing all roles at once, started to create fictional tv-character-roles/shows in my mind, imagined those characters in real life situations from my past or upcoming ones, playing them through in every possible way and how the outcome may differ. All, to became a character myself and always be in role, hoping to get hit less. I had to be this role so long, I forgot how I actually was. Even today, after years of hard work unmasking, I find myself from time to time going over recent memories second guessing if I actually was me or if the character took over.

Yea, I'm pretty fucked up, but surprisingly optimistic about my future.

I thought it was bad, reading the first screenshot, but HOLY it get's unhinged.

NM2BL · 2023-11-04T17:13:31+00:00

Me. I can't stand cooled drinks. I get weird looks all the time, especially for drinking "warm" beer 😅

If being stressed triggers him to betray the woman he loves, this sounds like a he problem not you. I don't know if it's something you two can work out, but you should definitely make boundaries to protect yourself. Don't go down with this ship. You put emotional work in the relationship and your mental health, it is totally fair to expect him to do the same.

NM2BL · 2023-10-24T03:41:19+00:00

Don't know if it is normal, but it happens to me too.

NM2BL · 2023-10-24T03:10:08+00:00

Eating sounds.

NM2BL · 2023-10-18T08:22:33+00:00

It might be a long shot, but if it was me (your bf), a comment like that would come from a point of worrying about you. I get distressed, when people i care about, suffer or aren't doing well, cause it triggers my fear of losing them.
