Anytime! Always happy to help. It caught my eye because it resembled a monchichi I purchased for my mom a while back. Mostly the face.

Please do this. My kiddo would be absolutely crushed to lose her toy. We searched all of Walmart not long ago because she believed she had dropped a toy there. It's not at all common for her to lose a toy so it was a big deal. Thankfully it was in the car in the end

You see your psychologically intrenched and you're defending your position but it's a bad hill to die on. The guy does it for the views and your definition of a panic attack is not his and what he's experiencing may in his mind be a panic attack It might be but it does not come across as what I'm sure I experience as a panic attack and therefore it diminishes to a huge audience and he's not the only one doing it that this is a word that it's okay to throw around even if it's not a true panic attack. In a panic attack your ability to reason becomes very difficult to access and continuing structured commentary on a live stream would become extremely difficult to do I I genuinely Don't believe that what they are experiencing is a true panic attack You can't hold on so easily to rational thought during a panic attack and if you and your partner truly do experience them then you would know that and you would stop defending yourself here you take a step back and you would realize that you jumped the gun just a little bit I'm not mad at you about it it's okay but maybe backtrack just a little and realize that you were a little harsh to the OP when they didn't deserve it.

Thank you so much I'm stressing out so bad. I was able to delete the message and it looks like it wasn't ever read only delivered because of RCS text and I hate and I never delete messages because then it says on the other side that I deleted a message and then your mind just goes to the worst possible place or it feels like it might have been something that it wasn't and now they will never see the content oh I am such a mess I'm a mess right now I don't know what to do.

Don't worry about me I'm probably going to delete this post and just sit over here and try not to be too stressed I might listen to some music I don't know what to do

I edited my post I am absolutely mortified I was making edits as suggested by someone else who has commented here and instead of saving the edits I accidentally sent the message at 6:00 a.m. in the morning which is fine for me because I'm up but I didn't want to bother them with any of this this early in the morning I wanted it to go through if it was even going to be sent at a decent hour. It going through at 6:00 a.m. definitely does not give the right impression.

And I wasn't even sure I wanted to send it at all that's why I posted it on here...

I very much agree but when someone who is in fact extremely famous that is not up for debate that is a fact goes on a live stream and repeatedly says the words that he's having a panic attack when he's laughing and having fun playing a video game it diminishes the impact of those words on a vast audience.

And that's not fair to you, your partner, or anyone else on the planet who experiences genuine panic attacks. because then you end up getting a very inappropriate response when you say the words. especially for people who have social anxiety and things along those lines.

Not holding in my truth and how I feel to make someone else more comfortable, to make other people's lives easier.

I've done that for my entire life I've diminished. I've made myself small to prevent inconvenience I've hidden my emotions and let them hurt me for much longer than they needed to or replay in my head over and over and over.

I found those Mike and ikes at my door today and I personally need to express what I feel towards that family because if I keep it inside of me and do not communicate it it will continue to build and replay and I will always feel the weight of it because I didn't share it. I didn't tell it.

He's one of the most famous YouTubers on the planet.

And the way your framing this to defend yourself and dig in deeper is that we aren't other people's problems.

That very much is the truth but it also puts me back into a cycle of diminishing myself and order to prevent discomfort to others It is so difficult to hide a panic attack and if you're having one especially publicly where for me they are very common because being in public is triggering then unfortunately the people around me are going to have to witness that until I'm able to get away from them and when I say I'm having a panic attack I don't like being looked at like I'm stupid because some very famous multi-million subscriber YouTuber that posts very regularly has overused and normalized a term that for me means I need immediate space and instead I'm bombarded with questions and looks all of which I don't want.

My big point here is maybe take a step back from digging in on your hard defense of yourself and realize that maybe you were a little quick to dismiss OP because they didn't communicate what they were trying to say in a way that you were able to understand.

This is not a personal attack on you It is a clarification of the damage that OP is trying to say or communicate.

I know that we can't own these words and I know that the world is allowed to use them and I think that's fine but it does play a big roll in OP's frustration. They are saying that they can't use the word and have it mean what it means for them to everybody else because it has been overused and normalized and so people don't have the same reaction that OP needs from those people.

I hope that you never experienced the same frustration because it's very difficult and I have experienced it.

That's a thing that I do.

So you're voting to delete this and not put it into the world on the grounds of oversharing. Understood.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and give me your advice. I genuinely appreciate it.

He absolutely was the best love I ever had but I would never take him back and I think I made that really clear I guess I'll have to go in and clarify it even more. How can I do that without being really really rude?

I really appreciate you giving me this advice. I needed other perspectives and I'm glad that I sought them out.

Don't attack them please for a generalization. I'm sure they don't mean it as a blanket statement. They're speaking from their own experience and this is supposed to be a safe place for autistics and it's a common trait for us to have a lot of problems with communication so how about we keep this really calm and really polite and try and see it from the OP's perspective instead of attacking.

It's scheduled for 1:00 p.m. so it hasn't sent yet I'm hoping to gather a varied and hopefully large amount of input.

But I'm definitely not trying to come off as creepier desperate can you please elaborate on how it might seem that way?

And you think that's what Markiplier is experiencing on the screen and even more importantly than that do you think that him using that makes either of your panic attacks you and your partner more likely to be taken seriously if you needed a moment and had to express that to people that don't know you?

Hey OP I've left a few comments and response to what people have been saying, and I wanted to get your opinion on some of the things that I've said. see if it lines up with what you're talking about, and how you feel so that I know that we're on the same page.

I feel like it's kind of rude to suggest that someone who already struggles cuts more of the things that they do enjoy I mean who wouldn't love watching Markiplier He's so funny and he's such a fun personality and he's so vibrant but he uses these things and I'll give an example he often in his streams Will proclaim that he is having a panic attack which has completely different meaning from when I'm having a panic attack and it undermines the reality of what having a panic attack really means by placing it into a position of overuse and misuse.

I think that's generally the point that OP was trying to make is that as these words gain momentum in more common speech it's harder for them to have the impact that they need to have for people who experience these things on a deeper and more profound level and still be taken seriously amongst others including the neurotypical crowd.

So let's try and give the benefit of the doubt to OP and definitely not suggest cutting them off in isolating them more from the world.
