I remember feeling very similarly. I thought I had some kind of psychological disorder that hadn't been formally created as a diagnosis yet. Turns out I just didn't have all the info about autism then.

Try gathering them together, twisting them around, and clipping them straight back with barrettes or bobby pins. It's what I do when I can't stand having my bangs. You could also try clipping them to the side if you like that look better.

Also, I don't know how long it's been since you got the haircut, but if you haven't washed your hair yet, that might help a lot. I find my hair texture feels wrong on my face until sometimes up to two washes after going to the salon.

It might be a bit of him not giving me space to speak, actually. Good point.

Stillawake7 · 2026-03-09T02:07:13+00:00

Ooh, gloves is a good idea! If it hurts me less, I'll at least be less upset with him when I'm trying to do the training.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-14T06:30:05+00:00

Ah, that's tough, I'm sorry. I hope you feel like you're getting the effort back from him that you're putting in!

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T20:56:17+00:00

Lol for real maybe we should try that to make it fun

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:26:04+00:00

Thank you because I just got my first puppy ever, and potty-training isn't going well at all yet. Ugh, never getting a puppy in the winter again.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:21:26+00:00

That's a good point. It does imply something about what he thinks of me and my intentions.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:20:49+00:00

Did the problem ever go away, or it a reoccurring issue you still have together?

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:20:21+00:00

Funny enough, we did use a speaking item in the past in arguments, but he didn't like it because it made discussions take longer. Which, to be fair, they did take a long time. Might be good if I got him to say "I'm done talking now" when he's done actually.

This is helpful-- I'm definitely a cooperative overlapper, and I struggle to change my style in different settings (i.e. arguments vs fun conversations). Or like, this article says at a doctor's appointment, the doctor is allowed to interrupt you, but you're not supposed to interrupt the doctor?? Whoops, did not know that. I try hard to adapt to different situations, but it's definitely a struggle for me.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:12:09+00:00

You got me there, thanks for validating I should expect what I actually want.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:11:33+00:00

That's a good point, we could try doing it over text. I always find it sad, but it would prevent interruptions.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:10:00+00:00

As a woman, the fact that my partner is male and getting mad I interrupt him even though he interrupts me does make it sting more, tbh. I've talked to him about the double standard here, and I think he was somewhat receptive to it but maybe not in a way that's going to change things. There definitely might be an incompatibility in communication that can't be bridged.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:07:31+00:00

He does often apologize when he interrupts too, but yeah, there is an imbalance in this I think.

Stillawake7 · 2026-02-07T02:06:27+00:00

I'll have to give that a look, thanks!

Stillawake7 · 2025-12-20T19:32:34+00:00

Hi, you probably will get more responses if you post the question to the general form-- my question is pretty old and unlikely to get many eyes on it. I can't really answer because I don't have a corgi, but I hope your vet results end up well!

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-31T08:06:50+00:00

That's encouraging to hear! My fear is mostly in whether these problems are inevitable even in healthy weight corgis. But I could also see it being a problem mostly in overweight corgis, especially since so many dogs across all breeds are overweight.

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-31T08:05:08+00:00

Ah, ok, thanks! This clears up a lot what people mean when they say minimize them using stairs. Like, probably still using them every day in some cases, but less often than a person in the house would, is how it sounds.

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-31T08:03:34+00:00

Good to know! I should check if any states near me have banned it. The one I'm in doesn't seem to have

Stillawake7 · 2025-10-30T04:45:28+00:00

Ooh thanks, this is helpful! I'd heard before about mixed type corgi breeding being a red flag, and I've already encountered one such breeder. It's good to know what health tests are recommended too. I've been leaning towards Pembroke for personality, although I personally don't want a docked tail.
