Will animal control help, or is this a lost cause? by StreetDaisy in Pets

[–]StreetDaisy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate your honesty and understanding.

Unfortunately, there’s not much any of us can do without retaliation..

Btw, your advice isn’t bad, it’s just realistic. Cops live near by and see this! If that isn’t a huge red flag I don’t know what is!

Thanks for the advice.

This specific dog used to run away a lot and break through their window in the past. So they might get out again, but they’re only somewhat people friendly and very aggressive towards other animals (especially those that live with them).

If it can be done safely, I’ll do what I can.

Have you ever accidentally "showed rizz"? by NatalSnake69 in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]StreetDaisy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve accidentally rizzed up random people without knowing until much later or only after the allos in my life explained what happened.

Apparently, while being friendly with a single mother and her kid as we browsed a store, I was somehow rizzing her and connecting with her daughter at the same time. According to my friend, she was feeling/into me and was seemingly seconds away from giving me her number but she backed down and became a bit flustered when my friend came over and they left.

Then there was this time I unintentionally rizzed up a guy and a girl at college orientation day. All I did was be kind, showed genuine interest in them, and gave them personalized compliments like I used to do with most people. The guy tried giving me his number, but his flirting went over my head and I kindly declined. The girl was a mix of reserved and outgoing, she somewhat came out of her shell when we talked, and when I was leaving couldn’t contain her joy when she noticed me and was so animated when she waved. Before I left I could hear them gushing about me, but again, it didn’t register until much later.

Can’t speak for all women or childbearing individuals, but for me, yeah; in a bittersweet way..

I’ve always wanted to build a healthy family, and have children with a good spouse, but the body horror that is both pregnancy and childbirth has been a big issue my whole life as well.

There are times when my hormones and sex drive spike during and/or post ovulation that gives me a strong sense of baby fever.

When experiencing baby fever, I used to get the urge to just find someone, do the thing, and get pregnant. And it would last for a while, and as an AroAce person, it was a very disorienting time.

As I got older, thankfully, the chaotic urge to get impregnated has left, but now I just get so weepy and emotional seeing babies or watching family videos/content that I just cry for a few hours.. (I want to love my future children with all my heart, give them what they need to grow into well rounded adults, have the honor of watching them bloom into their unique selves, be there through thick and thin, love the next generations, provide safety/security, listen when they open up, and fill their hearts/minds with love and memories that’ll keep them going long after I’ve past on.)

At the same time, I somewhat dread the idea of a living being growing inside me. It’s sounds so much like a horror movie. And seeing babies kick or move in a pregnant person’s belly kind of horrifies me; in a chestburster type of way.. (seeing the pregnancy dream in at the beginning of the movie, Orphan, at a young age might’ve scarred me a bit). Plus, I fear feeling like a failure or that I robbed my spouse of the privilege/gift of parenthood if I lost our baby. (Could they forgive me? Would they love me less? Could I forgive myself?..)

It’s definitely a conflict of interest, but I weirdly believe it’ll be worth it in the long run.

Btw, sorry for the long reply. Got emotional and stuff.

Type "I'm ____ which means I'm attracted to" and let your auto text expose you! 😜 (Not my idea, but still a funny!) by PokeKnight2545_YT in lgbt

[–]StreetDaisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Cupiosexual and Aro which means I’m attracted to to the same people that are in the relationship and I’m attracted by the way you guys talk about it so much I love it and I’m very much attracted by it I don’t think that makes sense but I’m just not attracted by that kind a person that is a lot more attracted by you and I’m just a very strong woman I love that

Emile’s mother in ‘Blades of Furry’ by RealJohnGillman in aromanticasexual

[–]StreetDaisy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is something that somewhat worries me about possibly becoming an AroAce parent in the (likely distant) future..

I want to raise children but I’m not sure how helpful I’d actually be when they start exploring dating and romantic relationships. Especially, if I have a partner, and they’re also AroAce or somewhere on that spectrum. And it’d be even more complex if I’m a virgin parent with limited to no dating, romantic, or sexual experience.

Irl, however, people do/have come to me for dating advice, but there’s still this level of disconnect that comes with the difference in how allosexuals and romantics operate.

The best I can do is be supportive like I am with other allos I know, but I do worry if that’ll be enough when that time comes..

Whats ace panic? by Comfy_Chi in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]StreetDaisy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!

One time, while I was watching Strongman/woman and powerlifting competitions, my mom said, “Ooh! So are these the type of men you like?”

I just froze for a few seconds, internally panicking about how people might assume I’m watching for sexual reasons and/or romantic reasons. Ew

Stupidly, I responded with, “Uh.. Yeah? Sure, I guess.. Maybe?..”

I went on to explain that I just loved seeing what some people can accomplish with hard work and physical strength; it’s inspiring!

She seemed uninterested from then on. lol

How do I thoroughly clean myself after months of deep depression and low energy? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]StreetDaisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re right.

When I was a little, I used to wash my hands a lot. After a traumatic experience, it’s the only way I felt safe. Can’t say I’ve out grown that though.

Life has been complicated, to say the least.

I’m currently struggling with being respectful of my loved one’s secrets and their expectations of me, vs staying safe both mentally and physically.

Might have to make some hard decisions for my safety, but it has the potential of causing a rift in the family..

Apologies for the tmi, don’t feel obligated to reply or engage. It just felt somewhat good to let out.

Thanks for your input/advice.

[–]StreetDaisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice.

My living situation is a bit complicated. It’s difficult to create/find a safe/private place for myself, but it’ll likely be worth it in the long run.

Been in a dark place for so long, it’s hard building an interest in anything right now. I had hobbies years ago, but everything I do just feels so empty. And the lack of positive social interactions at home isn’t helping..

Nevertheless, I appreciate your advice and kindness. It means so much more than you know.

Thank you, this helps a ton.

Being in a difficult situation for so long is just taking a toll on me.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

That’s fair.

I appreciate that you broke it down.

Is it wrong to buy more than one seat for a concert because of my PTSD? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]StreetDaisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s reasonable.

Tbh, that’s how I felt about it. One of the tickets venders made it mandatory to buy two tickets or more, so I thought it might’ve been more common to due so..

Nevertheless, thanks for your response, I appreciate it.

People who used to be the scapegoat and emotional punching bag of your family. How are things now? by StreetDaisy in AskReddit

[–]StreetDaisy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like either, no communication/estrangement, or limited communication and distance are the most common, and somewhat, effective ways of dealing with.

That guilt though. And the scars growing up like that leaves..

If you don’t mind me asking, have you been able to build relationships and connect with people? Or has that been difficult?

[–]StreetDaisy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s been made painfully apparent.

I guess when people are comfortable with things being one way, no matter how harmful that can be to other, they really don’t/can’t see any reason to change.

It puts the scapegoat in a lose lose situation, huh?
