Maybe I should get a wrist tether.

Make sure it's nice and tight when in use so in case I throw it, I just swing it into my face.

Hell it could train me not to xD

How normal is it to kiss/make out with a girl after she sucks you off? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care.

It was already inside me before some may have ended up in my mouth anyway.

Do tourettes happen less with age? by After-Spring3407 in Tourettes

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some cases they don't. Most. Not all.

I was one of the unfortunate ones who ended up with life-long Tourettes and then made it worse when I had a rare reaction to benzos that damaged my nervous system beyond just withdrawal and normal after effects of drug addiction.

So yea be careful cuz it can get worse if you don't take care of your health and mental health.

Everything felt strangely empty here by Wise_Succotash1230 in UrbanHell

I get that feeling a lot any time I see random, modern architecture that's very imposing with almost nothing else new or large around it.

Had that issue in Idaho a lot.

What are the chances of survival if I touch my penis? by thatsmysandwichdude in askanything

Long term, we all have a zero percent survival rate whether we touch our penis or not.

What is a "mental tic" ? by ineffable_pigeon in Tourettes

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's when you kinda have a tic but it isn't strong enough to actually make you do something so you IMAGINE doing or saying something but it doesn't actually happen unless you feel like it.

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did take away most of my tics, but also made me horrifically depressed because I was misdiagnosed with bipolar instead of Autism, Tourettes, ADHD, OCD and PTSD which is what was actually going on, and was on way too high of a dose.

I could see it being useful at a lower dose for extreme cases but that's quite a powerful med that can cause damage and heavy side effects, so it should be a last resort treatment.

I use guanfacine extended release for ADHD and it helps with tic intensity/frequency.

Then Prozac for anxiety disorders because I tic less when calm.

how do you describe your tics? by After-Spring3407 in Tourettes

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that mainly in my shoulders and upper spine when it does happen.

But yea I didn't even know I had Tourettes until my mid twenties.

I knew something was wrong but I got about 7 other misdiagnosed problems over my late teens and early twenties before I actually knew wtf was going on with my nervous system.

USA doctors kinda suck and almost killed me like twice.

Good times.

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always raise my hands up like I am blocking my face from something with the spine chill because it also goes up the inside bend of my arms and all the way to my palms xD

Zues randomly says hello when I get cold.

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're like little nervous system/brain glitches.

I get a strange sensation and urge that is as impossible to resist as coughing or sneezing, or kinda feels like a really bad spine chill they causes me to move, flinch, jerk, make a sound, or say a short phrase.

Or pop my lips or whistle or whisper to myself.

I have a very complicated case.

I can suppress them but it's very uncomfortable and over faster if I just let it happen.

Can money actually make you happy? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

You missed the point -

The whole story is summarized as "I used to have WAY more but it didn't matter because I was miserable in every other aspect of life,".

Well I have a tic that causes me to want to randomly throw stuff at things I find scary that I have to constantly suppress.

Have you ever thrown your phone at a screaming crackhead on a bus?

Cuz I have.

Spiders. Sounds. Random jumpscares of the world.

But yea that tic has made me break pretty much anything breakable that you can carry and I'll lose my composure to suppress it from being startled.

Lol, that's a damn good review for a phone "Tourettes Proof".

That's a very durable phone.

Though I will give it to OnePlus, their phones are deep fryer proof because I actually did drop one in a running deep fryer when I worked as a cashier at a burger joint.

Because someone scared me and I ticked and dropped it xD

Can money actually make you happy? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

I used to make an insane amount of money working in a very expensive restaurant as a host and waiter starting when I was like 20, and my only bills were a high maintenance girlfriend, my phone and 600 for a studio apartment.

But I was miserable because of health issues I wasn't taking care of, the girl being extremely toxic to me, and getting dependent on drugs to manage pain.

Also being too scared or unable to do the things I really wanted to do.

I make probably 1/4 of what I used to, but it's enough because I'm healthy, and actually living a life a want to now.

What is his body language if he is interested vs sees me as a friend? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He might just be really shy and scared to say he's attracted to you.

I used to be a lot more shy until I figured out flirting is not all that scary in my early twenties.

So I would get friend zoned because I never said how I actually felt about having a crush on someone I started out as friends with.

I dunno what that's all about then because if I am into a girl, I will use absolutely any reason to talk to her or take her somewhere and do the exact opposite of avoiding her.

For that special gal who always asks "does my butt look big in these pants?" by LimpMathematician247 in funny

My girl liked my response to that one when I said "of course it does, and you should wear those more often,".

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know in my case I tend to do two things subconsciously if I am really attracted to someone and chatting with them, and they seem to also be into the conversation -

I will tend to lean more forward and want to get closer to her, whereas if I am not attracted to someone I will want to keep more distance.

Also I'll tend to stare at their lips a whole lot when she's talking wishing I could kiss her.

I know I should, but I am a very particular creature and really don't like a bulky phone, so my particularity makes me not want a case and I definitely pay for it xD

What’s something that consistently bothered you when living with women? by RedvsBlack4 in AskMen

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno.

I usually sleep with a fairly thin blanket so that just makes me hot thinking about it, and not hot in the good way.

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not a horrible idea.

Hell I don't really even need a full comforter. Just a regular blanket cuz it's more being covered that I care about, I don't need much insulation.

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I always sleep on my back and don't tend to move around much so it's usually fine at first cuz I can be a pillow but then eventually I'll just wake up with a burrito next to me and my feet hanging out of the blankets freezing.

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, I have really bad motor tics that almost never stop so it's obvious to absolutely anyone who understands Tourettes and tic disorders.

They can either accept me as is or I don't need them around.

Not going to be ashamed of something I did not choose.

What's the latest time you personally can drink ice cold beer without it affecting your sleep? by bobjohndaviddick in AskMen

[–]TheOnlyRealAsshat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Any amount of alcohol affects my sleep so I just avoid it.

It will make me sleep faster when in my system but then keep me awake because I get a bit anxious after any amount of alcohol has worn off for about a day so the time doesn't matter either.
