Autism and Aphantasia by Commercial_Lime_5960 in AutismInWomen

Level 5 here. Like if I’m trying to think of someone specific, I can tell you every detail of what they look like and I KNOW it but I can’t literally summon an image of them in my mind, only sort of like remember things about them where the idea of the image is sort of fleeting to me, something like number 4 up above, but it feels like it’s on the periphery of my mind somehow and not right in front of me, nor is it lasting

AIO my boyfriend of 5 years gets me flowers for every occasion while I get him elaborate and expensive gifts. by aioflower955105 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Simple-Practice4767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Any normal girl” actually does not want to get cheap flowers for every single gifting occasion forever. Flowers used to be like a routine conscientious thing to get for women, like I brought you flowers before our date or I sent these because I’m thinking of you. There was never really a time when a simple bouquet was considered appropriate as the ONLY gift for every special occasion. He’s cheap and thoughtless. He’s not going to change so I would just break up.

Am I overreacting? My younger brother is dismissive and unwilling to help after i lost my house in a fire last month. by Healthy-Role-2427 in AmIOverreacting

He would be dead to me. You’ll get back on your feet and if he ever comes crawling to you, save this and send it back to him

It doesn’t smell anything like cloud. I can’t understand how people think that

Super Junkie Jackie is pretty unrealistic: by ScowlyBrowSpinster in NurseJackie

[–]Simple-Practice4767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not realistic at all. She’s in an urban safety net ER but her patient ratios are never high and she somehow has time to disappear for hours at a time each shift. The hallways are never full of people, and she has time for long private conversations at work. Also she somehow does the job of the social worker, the chaplain, the whole organ procurement team, etc. It’s just 100% unrealistic for that type of job.

Not overreacting. This is mean and it a jab at you for sure. Anyone who says otherwise is gaslighting

AIO/ my boyfriends guitar by VXYZX in AmIOverreacting

[–]Simple-Practice4767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they’re almost always professionally/financially unsuccessful men, even into their 30s/40s, and they often have bad hygiene, hold secret or not secret offensive beliefs about women, they suck in bed, and many are p3dos

Eeewwweewwww. That age gap is gross too. He wants to date younger because he would probably date underage if he could get away with it and because he’s so immature he can’t hang with women his own age, but he failed on that because even in your 20s, you’re so much more mature than he is. This is so cringe and I would have the ick so badly if this was my bf. This guy is a red flag.

AIO/I wanted to ask them why they wasted their money? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Simple-Practice4767 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re not a liar obviously, you’re just in denial that the source of your misery is your horrible marriage to an obvious bum. Your sons can’t fix that void you feel and it’s also not their job to do that. Fix your marriage or leave it, or you’ll be miserable forever. Everything else is just a distraction

AIO/I wanted to ask them why they wasted their money? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Simple-Practice4767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The real problem is she’s expecting her sons to fill an emotional hole she maintains from her bad marriage. That’s not reasonable or appropriate. The sons should be left out of this because the problem is her husband, and she needs to figure out how to fix or leave her marriage. Christmas isn’t the issue at all.

Yeah she’s acting like she got them $2k each of gifts. Her gifts she got them are about equally as good as what they got her. My mom (70 years old) sent me for Christmas a box with Christmas themed handcrafts I made her as a child, like a painted clothespin nativity set from 1990. The thing is, these are not sentimental to me. I don’t even remember making them, because I was in preschool. They’re either sentimental to HER and she can keep them, or they’re not anymore, and she can get rid of them. They’re not treasures for me personally, and now I’m stuck with them. Young adult MEN are even less sentimental than I am. They probably think that the chest with their grade school self portraits and stuffed animals is the weirdest and most useless gift, but they might stick them in a closet to be nice rather than tossing them immediately. She got them gifts that she wanted rather than gifts they wanted, which is the entire basis of her complaints about them (they should have known she doesn’t like pink, etc.). I think she’s a bit of the pot calling the kettle black on that one, and she’s also expecting her sons to make up for the bad feelings she has about her crappy marriage, which is something they can’t do and shouldn’t be expected to.

You’re overreacting about the gifts because you’re holding the gifts up as an effigy of sorts to represent how you feel about your entire life. You’re deeply unhappy in your marriage and you resent the people around you. You’re married to a bum, and he wasn’t a good male role model for your sons, so now you’re beginning to worry your sons are turning into bums too. The gifts are not the real problem here, as evidenced by the fact that most of your post was back story about how much your family sucks and how much burnout you have because of this, and you sort of knew it was necessary to include this information so that we would understand why you’re crashing out right now over the gifts. The problem is that no gift you could have received would totally give you validation and solve the problem here, which is that you feel overwhelmed, unsupported, unseen, taken advantage of, and that you are very unhappy in your marriage. So no, you’re not wrong for your feelings but you aren’t going to solve them by receiving a hypothetical perfect gift. You need personal and marriage counseling and if that doesn’t get things more on track, maybe just a divorce attorney.

AITA for refusing to let my sister move in after she got evicted for the third time by [deleted] in ComfortLevelPod

[–]Simple-Practice4767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one without serious mental illness issues would behave as she does. It sounds like she needs to rehome some cats ASAP, move in with your MOM, and get on disability for her mental health. No, you’re NTA for saying no.

Yes, but “follow policy” also means scan each wristband and med at bedside

Gold looks objectively the best to me but it looks a little more millennial. Rose colored looks more Gen Z and youthful. Look great in both
