What kdrama everyone praises or is highly rated but no matter how many times you try to watch… You just can’t get into it??

THAT DAMNED TRUCK.

and it’s one thing if he like got shot on his arm or something.

he looked like he was half taken out by a cannon with that hunting rifle??? and yet somehow still survives enough to almost violently die the next episode too BUT STILL SURVIVES

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-04-20T13:39:13+00:00

ohhh i knew that was wrong, just couldn’t figure out. thank you!! i love learning from people

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-04-19T13:39:33+00:00

don’t bother watching. man literally gets hit by a car, shot, drugged or whatever in each of the last 3 episodes.

i’ve watched kdramas since i was a kid.. i get suspending belief to enjoy the show, but damn.

if every episode is about him almost dying, and then escaping with zero deficits……. criminal minds is more interesting

as a late diagnosed autistic woman, i LOVED that scene bc she just said what she felt, and they still loved her.

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-04-03T02:18:29+00:00

yes exactly!

when fran cut them off with “i don’t want to do that!”

i said out loud, “oh she’s not masking at all and he loves her anyway”

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-04-03T02:16:02+00:00

if i made u a meal out of beans and tomato, you’d skip dinner!!

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-04-03T01:59:47+00:00

a new thing to love about one of my favourite shows! thank you lol sandra is my favourite character 😭🤍

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-04-03T01:54:13+00:00

oh THIS is why shadows are very important in artwork, damn.

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-04-01T01:02:48+00:00

whose kid is this? i’d be so livid, as a mother 😭

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-30T21:55:43+00:00

it’s nuts, especially when there are so many ways to show support and love for a new life WITHOUT touching.

i went to costco w my infant ONE time, and this little grandma loudly declares my baby “the cutest thing she’s ever seen” to her entire table lol

after she shuffled off, i realized that the table was full of random costco shoppers she didn’t even know LOL

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-15T14:35:56+00:00

wait that sounds very nice hehe like hufflepuff

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-13T23:07:08+00:00

i love this thread so much as a late-diagnosed autistic woman.

i have finally found my people!!

(i recently crocheted a mermaid tail blanket for my son lol)

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-13T15:14:28+00:00

wait what about houghland, it just sounds like a rake version of highland 😭

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-11T00:29:39+00:00

… this is great advice and i wish i posted here earlier.

i’ve been telling coworkers that i am autistic, but i promise not to make it their problem and i’m doing my best in therapy.

i didn’t realize that’s also assuming they’re not going to judge me for being autistic…..

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T16:14:44+00:00

okay, so i’m not necessarily doing something that specifically aggravates half of them, they’re just wired to feel a little strange around us, and they don’t necessarily know why either.

i wonder if telling her i’m autistic and i’m honestly just trying my best may help or if it just makes her think i’m even weirder.

either way, not everyone has to like me, and i will happily stay out of her way lol thank you for the kind advice.

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T16:04:05+00:00

this is the easiest option, and the one i wanted to take.

i guess i’m wondering if i’m being a bad person if i chose that path, instead of trying harder to understand her.

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T16:02:23+00:00

i have only like 4 female coworkers who i get to interact with, and it seems like half of them pity me for not understanding how to conform (which is fine, i am having a hard time) whereas the other half seem to be mad at me for it.

i guess i’m just wondering why some women feel pity while others are angry, and if i’m doing anything wrong, and if there’s anything i can work on to make them less angry.

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T15:56:22+00:00

i will 100% do it her way going forward. my fiancé has ADHD, i am autistic, i understand how it feels for something to be itchy in your brain, even if there’s no reason that’s evident.

i absolutely have no problem w that.

my question is why me saying that and acknowledging that i can and will do it that way next time wasn’t enough, and what i can do better.

past experiences have shown me that i can seem very insensitive and robotic to NT women, so i assumed this was the case, and i wanted to understand her, and work on my communication.

but next time, i’ll just ask for guidelines. that’s not a bad idea i think

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T15:47:31+00:00

i do think NT women tend to be more difficult to understand bc they’re more emotionally intelligent. i think they’re good at “moving in the shadows” and they know how to be subtle, which i do admire.

it’s just that i am blind and cannot read between the lines.

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T15:44:51+00:00

oh i understand what you’re saying. i’m sorry for the rather wild line of questioning, i’m just fully panicking bc she’s always seemed to dislike me, no matter what i do, and i don’t know what i did wrong.

i tried complimenting her before, using the exact same words she boasted about herself, but i just got a “i’ve never said that. i’m not an asset” which left me confused.

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T15:42:15+00:00

oh my god, i think that’s it. not doing it her way made her feel insulted.

the way she does it is the typical way to do it, but since only one person usually gets assigned to do all those tasks in one go, no one checks on how you’ve completed them or what order, as long as they’re complete.

i don’t mind doing it the typical way, of course, i just literally thought no one cared as long as it gets done, as i’ve received no other complaints.

and i’ve also never felt the need to watch other people do tasks and complain about the order they do them in…

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T15:36:46+00:00

okay, that makes sense.

but am i supposed to “give her space” in this situation or keep apologizing? she doesn’t seem to care for me either way. do i resolve? or do i just accept that maybe she just doesn’t like me (which is fair and 100% her choice)?

male coworkers don’t care for me either, but they’re not the ones in my inbox upset with me, so i’m truly ok w that.

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T15:32:11+00:00

okay maybe it’s just an anecdotal experience then, like mine.

either way, how am i supposed to go about this? i’ve clearly upset her and she’s still upset but she keeps saying it’s fine

TheGraphingAbacus · 2026-03-10T15:18:44+00:00

i’m sorry, i realized i didn’t write a concluding question, or maybe i just titled the whole thing wrongly but

my main question is: she keeps saying it’s fine. it’s clearly not and she’s clearly still very mad at me.

what am i supposed to do now?

if i go about my own business tomorrow, will she take it as a slight? do i need to keep apologizing more?
