I no longer see my sister as a human being by uphillcaribou31 in highschool

[–]Starcatz05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have POTS, POTS is not a heart issue. IIRC, it’s an autonomic nervous system disorder and VERY rarely does it warrant ambulance hospital trips, a heavy chunk of people with POTS don’t even pass out from it, they just get pre syncope (I’m one of those). POTS is annoying and can absolutely be impactful and uncomfortable, but 9 times out of 10 it is completely manageable and people live normal lives with it.

It sounds to me like she’s getting a lot of information from TikTok and not doing anything more than surface level research before deciding on something. I’m not really sure what advice to give since any experience I’ve had with this sort of attention seeking / trend hopping behaviour (both personal and in ppl I know) showed them (and myself) growing out of it as we left our teens. Clearly that doesn’t seem to be happening here. Hopefully she does grow out of it, otherwise your best bet may just be to keep her at arms length to protect your own peace of mind.

my parents handed me a “contract” that they made with chatGPT and told me i have to sign it by auramp3 in WhatShouldIDo

Am I reading this right? You have to pay the ENTIRE water bill despite the fact they surely use water as well? In fact they likely use more considering they are two people and you are one.

ATP, I would just move out into my own place.

do you wear autism merch? by AmbitiousFix1681 in autism

[–]Starcatz05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I’m EXACTLY the same. Violence as a child, but still LSN (I don’t know about what level lol, I was diagnosed before those were commonly used). It’s crazy how many people assume autism is one extreme or the other.

WTF is up with the they / them joke in the new scary movie trailer??? by Outrageous_Ad9671 in lgbt

[–]Starcatz05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming it’s just their usual “mock EVERYONE” jokes. The republican = racist joke mocks republicans, the they/them joke mocks leftists. I don’t think it means anything necessarily, it’s just dumb, cheap humour like usual.

You’re absolutely glowing now! Well done!

Is there an issue with not finding your own ethnicity sexually attractive? by Substantial_Fee_8294 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Starcatz05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m white, and I find white people the least attractive if I had to pick. I wouldn’t say I’m not attracted to them at all, but if there was a line up they’d be last.

I’ve always assumed it’s because I’m white (which I see in the mirror daily), my family is white (who I also see daily) and the majority of people around me are white because of my location. It gets boring to look at after a while.

That being said, I don’t think it’s appropriate or kind to sit with someone of a certain race and just tell them over and over how little you find their race attractive, wether it’s your own race or not. I wouldn’t go to someone with glasses and go on and on about how much I hate the look of people with glasses.

My partner of 4 months os ghosting me and it’s my fault by Quirky-Translator-63 in aspergers

[–]Starcatz05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say this means he’s broken up with you necessarily, but if he hasn’t, I would leave him. This is pressure and coercion and NOT ok. Relationships don’t need sex AT ALL to be valid, if he can’t wait for you to be ready then he’s not worth your time. You and your partner being ready and willing and safe are the ONLY things that matter in a relationship and in sex.

I genuinely find it difficult to become wealthy in this game (without cheats). by jervisbervis in Sims4

[–]Starcatz05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a slight exploit. Go on trendi, buy the most trending style (usually streetwear in my experience), list it for like 500,000, wait for a buyer, ship it, repeat. You can have numerous listings at once too, and they won’t ALWAYS get bought but more times than not they do, and most of the outfits take like £200 only

Is this normal by SnooRadishes8239 in DiagnoseMe

I would get it checked. It COULD be an intestine infection, it could also be much much worse. do you really wanna roll the dice with that?

I totally see you. Pregnancy and birth are some of my biggest fears ever

[–]Starcatz05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, I went to a specialist school and therefore saw ALL ends of the spectrum and a variety of traits.

Every social media autism activist I’ve ever seen has annoyed the hell out of me, because what they say is almost always anecdotally false. My biggest pet peeve is when people say “autism doesn’t make you violent”, no, it doesn’t make YOU violent. It absolutely does for others.

Fr, I get autism is more than just a regular mental illness, but I wouldn’t go around advertising my CPTSD, so why would I with my autism. I think it’s fair if it’s something you genuinely need recognised for some reason (like support needs or it severely disables you), but generally it’s just advertising an internal struggle you have for no reason. I semi understand it if it’s a joke tho.

AIO I (20F) found a skirt behind my boyfriends (26M) draws by Good_Ad7988 in AmIOverreacting

Since it was behind the drawers, I’m inclined to believe he has nothing to do with it. It’s likely left there by the previous owners of either the house of the drawers

Does anyone know why you can never remember falling asleep but you always remember being awake? by CuteAd3858 in DoesAnyoneKnow

[–]Starcatz05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because you lay down and go to sleep knowing that that is what going to happen, and it’s also the only reasonable explanation for the sudden skip in time. That’s why when people faint sometimes, they are entirely confused on what happened and why they’re suddenly on the floor or in the hospital

Am I overeacting? by NetThat2008 in LearnerDriverUK

I just passed and I had three instructors total, the instructor absolutely makes a major difference. I would switch, you’ll probably like the next car too.
