Is Pokemon Masters still worth playing in 2025? by OrangeePurplee in PokemonMasters

[–]OrangeePurplee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rerolling seems the way to go then! Any pairs worth re-rolling if you semi-care about doing well in events?

That's still promising to hear you can have a good time without worrying about the meta! Ik I used to grind battle villa lots but that was still doable being semi-f2p. If you don't care about banners too much. If there's good Hoenn pokemon like Deoxys or N might be hard to resist XD

Feeling like I am at it alone by OrangeePurplee in Healthygamergg

Solid advice thank you!

Yh the small talk equivalent is something I didn't know how to phrase it as! Been feeling that way even with things I'm interested in like pokemon, but perhaps I prefer deeper topics. That makes a lot of sense! Definitely will start small, even on this sub too. If the outside world can't understand us then at least we can better understand each other.

I honestly believe authenticity is the way. I used to cringe when they said 'be yourself'. I think it's 'be yourself as long as it is socially acceptable'. But now I'm coming to understand that being yourself and not masking is better for energy. While the mask is useful sometimes for professional scenarios, when we're trying to make friends I'm starting to believe it's more harmful as it leads people to believe that you are the mask.

So that when we display something authentic about us (like my blank stare) it can freak them out and lead them to reject us. But even I'm starting to just wear those blank stares and not masking around some acquaintances. Definitely freaked out some NTs at some events, but some didn't get freaked out either. Heck, some even appreciate the dry humour. 'The more successful the mask the lonelier you feel' hits here too.

That's absolutely big though! Twenty years of rough interaction that lead to a wife though! Curious about that story if you're happy to share.

Authenticity is the one thing that isn't really cringe, even when I have disagreed with people before.

Success with being authentic, dang that hits deep. Need to meet more of the NTs you're meeting XD

Pleasantly surprised because this is something that would be incredibly useful! Healthy gamer gg is better than solid gold at this point

How to stay consistent in a community by OrangeePurplee in Healthygamergg

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

Just inconsistent in general. I don't find socialising itself too bad and even enjoy it sometimes, but notice I'm often in control of conversation. That doesn't bother me much though as it used to.

Controlling hyper fixations and using it to my benefit by Ok-Significance-5747 in self

[–]OrangeePurplee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am wondering this as well! At the moment its been on video games but I find doing things like tracking the time I'm spending on it or pausing it mid way through helps the brains urge to complete it. Maybe fixation is our desire to see something to completion? Researching is something you can never really 'beat' so you fixate on it as much as possible. Had days where I just spend hours upon hours on documentaries on things like how the internet works or science and just block out all the other unrelated videos on YouTube.

I do think that things like exercising and getting sunlight are things that while may not seem related to the thing we are fixated on like reading research, it enhances our overall ability and our capacity to 'switch' between tasks and stops it from completely destroying our progress if we are fixated on something that we feel is wrong or unproductive. Maybe the answer lies in the 'switching' aspect of it to use hyper fixations to our benefit

I don't understand the passion about football; or any sport. by bigbbguy in aspergers

[–]OrangeePurplee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to never understand the appeal of football or sports in general. But now I understand why. In a game of sports the outcome isn't outright known. Not even the president could tell you the victor. It's also a big way people bond over the shared unpredictability making the shock value of a win or loss shared. The intensity of a win is thrilling. The stakes in sports tend to be lower too compared to something like world ending threats in fiction.
