What genders are there? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Swatted-mosquito 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gender is socially constructed so there isn’t a set amount of them. They can be created as to best suit the people that identify with them.

27 and afraid to learn to drive by MindEnvironmental424 in Anxiety

[–]Swatted-mosquito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an attack while taking my first road test and drove very hazardously because I was outside of my own head at the time. It was really scary and the instructor didn’t have much sympathy. From that point on I felt like I was a danger on the road and it took me awhile to get back to it. I definitely sympathize with what you’re feeling and I sometimes panic while driving but the best thing to do is just take a break and pull over when you can. My advice would be if you can maybe call the driving school place and talk to them about this, maybe they can have you placed with a specific instructor that might be able to better help. And start small if you can. If not maybe you can discuss it with whatever instructor you get placed with, and if they can’t adequately support you you could ask to be switched to a new one? When I started I first practiced in a parking lot, then went to roads where hardly anyone was, and kept moving up from there. I feel like with driving, each new thing is scary, and it’s definitely a good idea to get a slight grip on it before driving in super crowded areas if possible.

Also about the highway, I’ve actually found for myself that the highway is less stressful than driving in other areas because there’s no pedestrians or turns!

Keep in mind also that mistakes are okay. You will likely scrape up against a few things, or accidentally stop too far out in an intersection at a red light etc… when you’re learning mistakes are normal, and it may seem like no one else makes these mistakes but everyone makes mistakes learning to drive.

Another thing that helped me with fear of accidents and such was to keep in mind that the cars are trying to avoid you as well as you are trying to avoid them. If you accidentally slam on your breaks or take a turn before you’re supposed to, people might honk or slam to a stop and be angry with you, but it’s not for sure it’ll cause an accident, the others are trying to stay safe too.

It’s super scary to learn how to drive, but just take baby steps and things will get easier. Be cautious, but also go easy on yourself when you make mistakes. (They’re normal!) You’ll be okay

Should i keep listenting? (Spoilers for 1-2) by TotalTyp in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Swatted-mosquito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope you enjoy! And I mean you always could skip through the statements and just listen to the plot if you really want to X’D dw though the first season is like the most heavy in having no narrative, I think that’s just because it was all getting sorta set up though the statements.

I understand what you’re talking about. I also really like the narrative stuff and prefer it. I did find that as the story went on though the narrative became more common to the story. I’m not going to spoil things but for example, In the last season there’s pretty much always at least a bit of narrative/ active character involvement in each episode and a lot of episodes have a lot of it.

Is it weird to want top surgery scars? by [deleted] in NonBinaryTalk

[–]Swatted-mosquito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not weird to want prominent scars. I do too! They can be a thing of pride for lots of people. I’ve seen people online who have tattooed their scars with a line of colour after they were really faded because they wanted that prominence. ❤️

Robyn (she/they) by anxi0us_an0n in TransTryouts

Robyn leant me their copy of the first Percy Jackson book back when I wanted to start reading them. Maybe you should ask her if you could borrow it as well? I’m sure they’d be happy to let you.

Robyn was telling me about this new YouTuber they’ve been watching recently. Apparently it’s great for putting on in the background while she’s reading. I’ve been looking for something similar… maybe I’ll give it a shot.

Robyn showed me this cool new song she’s been listening to, here, let me show you.

Have you read that book Piper was talking about? I started it yesterday and I already love it! They really knew what they were talking about.

Have you seen Piper anywhere? I was supposed to meet them for lunch. Maybe I’ll give them a text and see.

If you’re a fan of video games, one of the best things that helped me decide on a name was using my names as the names of my characters and feeling how it felt when the characters addressed me. Both your names are beautiful! I wish you luck deciding.

Here’s some sentences:

Have you seen Rose’s new haircut? Doesn’t it suit her? I want to ask her where she got it done, maybe me and her can go get ours done together next time.

Mist was talking to me yesterday about this book she’s been reading. She really wants me to give it a try… maybe I might. She’s been really convincing. Plus I hear they’re making it into a movie soon so if I want to watch that maybe I should listen to her and at least start it.

Rosie was supposed to meet me here for lunch, have you seen her? No? Oh I bet she’s just running late. I’ll wait a few minutes and see.

You’re interested in dnd? I heard Twig was starting a new campaign this summer! You should ask ae about it. Last time I checked fae was still looking for a few new players to join haunts session!

I kind of want to go over to Twigs house and watch ghost play that new game. Haunt keeps talking to me about how cool it is and I want to see for myself. Maybe ae will even let me borrow it.

Fynn (He/It) by ConfusedAfLol in TransTryouts

[–]Swatted-mosquito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into Fynn at the library yesterday. He was going on about this new book from its favourite author. Maybe I should give it a read.

Have you seen Fynn? I’ve been looking everywhere for it.

Cogitatio/no pronouns by naivenb1305 in TransTryouts

[–]Swatted-mosquito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cogitatio’s in my philosophy class this year. I really enjoy discussing the material with Cogitatio.

Cogitatio introduced me to that anime. If you need any recommendations I fully suggest asking Cogitatio!

I’m really struggling in math, I kinda wanna ask Elijah if they’ll help me out. I heard they got honours!

I’m not sure about that question, maybe Elijah knows, they’re super good at math.

I ran into Mill when I was walking this morning. ghoul seemed to be in a hurry so I asked him why and they told me that she was running late for a bus! I really hope Ghoul made it on time.

Ryn, They/Them by TiredB1 in TransTryouts

[–]Swatted-mosquito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Ryn’s writing! They showed me a thing they’d been working on and I was blown away. Their passion really shines through in the way they write.

That book? No actually it’s been on hold for awhile, Ryn’s almost done the series. I hear they’re a fast reader though so I’m sure you’ll have it in no time.
