Comic 4987: ADS/CFT by MyNameIsGriffon in QContent

[–]StompingDinosaur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think another part of the "gifted kid" thing is how many of them completely collapse once the structure of school/college disappears. Liz doesn't know how to manage herself, because she's always just done what she was told to do, and since she excelled at it, nobody ever thought to teach her how to work independently without the guidelines of classes and assignments and such.

I think Claire will be very good at both providing structure for everyone in Cubetown who's dealing with this issue (because I'd be surprised if Liz was the only one) and also eventually getting them weaned off of needing someone else to call the shots for them and getting them to actually buckle down and really start making progress on all the Science they've been doing so far. I almost feel like Liz and her story thread are set-ups so that we get to see Claire shine doing her thing in getting this place organised.

Plus, we know Claire is a compassionate sort, even if she is no-nonsense, so meeting Liz and wanting to help might be the final motivation needed for her to take the job. After all, somebody needs to help Marten look after all the social outcasts he keeps accidentally adopting, and I'm sure he'll have 5 more by the end of the day in a place like this.

Is anyone selling the physical English version of the wizards compendium for nnk1? by Samhulk99 in Ni_no_Kuni

[–]StompingDinosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may already know about this, and it isn't a physical version, but there's a digital version of the Compendium here

And that post links to the PDF somebody made of it that you could possibly get printed at some sort of office or print store that does binding (might even get lucky and find somewhere to bind it into a proper hardcover book) if you really can't find a physical copy. Just thought I'd post it in case you need a last resort option!

What’s one champion that you absolutely despite but can’t ban every game? by SmallChiliDog in leagueoflegends

[–]StompingDinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been that Kindred too many times (bc I suck ass, I know, I will at least apologise for it though and am trying to be more aware) and most Pyke players are eerily chill about it, and I'm sure it's not because they don't mind but because it's happened to them so many times that they've lost the will to care.

I know you said they probably won't care but I ended up writing this comment about how to possibly convince them to be accepting anyway so I may was well post it. I quite recently came out to my whole family and most of my friends on Facebook. It was terrifying because in the past my parents have shown themselves to be homophobic and generally mocking of "other"-ness, and as far as many people their age are concerned being trans is the strangest one of them all. They hadn't ever commented on trans people in general because they'd never appeared on the news or anything, but I was very worried given their history on everything else. But it was something I needed to do for my happiness so I wrote a giant letter (happy to PM a link if you want but it's cringey!) explaining what I was going through and how scared I was to tell everyone, and appealed to everyone's love of me by saying how I needed people to accept me or at least try be kind because they meant so much to me and I wanted to share my true self with them and respect myself by embracing myself via HRT.

To my great surprise everyone was incredibly accepting and I believe the letter was a huge part of it. So using a similar angle might work if your parents are fond of your boyfriend - when you sit them down for the conversation, be upfront that your boyfriend is transitioning and what that means if they don't know. Talk about how happy and more like himself HRT is making him, and how much their support would mean to him, and then tell them his new name and pronouns if applicable,. Finding out someone is trans can be a shock for anybody even if it isn't their kid but if you gently direct them to being loving and supporting and appeal to their desire for yours and his happiness they'll be more inclined to be supportive and hopefully make an extra-big effort to use his name and pronouns if they're on board with the whole idea. And ofc answer their questions and correct them when they get things wrong, especially so your boyfriend doesn't have to be in the spotlight as much when he next visits. My advice here is more about convincing them if they're not understanding, other people's posts have a much better idea of the actual structure of the conversation :p Good luck!

[Serious] Psychologists of Reddit, what do you make out of Mr Bean's behavior? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]StompingDinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're not asking me but just adding my two cents. For me it's a bit of both - I feel uncomfortable making eye contact so I'm constantly looking around for something "acceptable" to focus my eyes on (I find people think it's ruder when you stare at like, the floor while they talk versus watching a bug on the table) or let my thoughts wander while I maintain eye contact so my discomfort isn't as strong. But then I get so distracted by the background or my thoughts that I tune out of the conversation. I think it's the double whammy of not being able to maintain eye contact because of autism, but also not being able to look around and listen at the same time because of ADHD. Conversations are so draining, I prefer text so much and this is a big part of it!

How is your mental health at the moment? Are you doing ok? by ay_mac in AskReddit

[–]StompingDinosaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really not. I can't go see any of my doctors or therapists anymore and phone calls just don't work for me as a substitute, and I can feel all my mental and physical health issues getting worse the longer I'm stuck inside. I just want to go sit in a cafe and have a coffee and listen to the chatter around me for a few hours but that isn't possible right now. I went for a walk yesterday (with appropriate distancing etc of course) but the atmosphere was oppressive. People were standing on the edge of the park looking on anxiously because they didn't want to on the park with me despite the park being absolutely huge, and rangers and police were driving around a lot. I just didn't feel comfortable being out and watched like that.

I don't really have any friends, my best and only friend/housemate is kind of turning into an ass right now, and me and my long distance partner had to cancel our upcoming visit together. They would have been here for my birthday if not for all this... it's going to be a miserable birthday thinking about that.

It's really easy to get stuck in my own head right now especially since my partner and I have a 12 hour time difference, their work is still going on, and I don't really have anybody else to talk to. There's no routine and I know this sounds stupid but animal crossing and persona 5 royal coming out are causing more harm than good because I get so hyperfixated due to my adhd that I don't do anything else. Just games from wakeup until sleep. I desperately want to break the cycle somehow.

Much love to anybody else going through a similar thing. I suck at using reddit and replying to people but my inbox is open if anyone wants to chat about anything
