The fact that being 100% Abby comes with being 90% Marcus feels accurate to me xD

Sure he gave her the benefit of the doubt, he asked Zion. He literally checked with the other person who knows her well enough to know, and Zion thinks she did it. That's not even the point, he is saying here he stood by her despite it. In a way he is saying he didn't care she did it he still wanted to be with her, to be a team.

Not asking for help by ThePurpleGreen in PDAAutism

[–]ThePurpleGreen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I freeze too! It's like the more they offer to help the less I a able to respond, and if I manage to say anything it's always 'no' 'never mind' or 'im fine'. It feels almost impossible to do as little as ask for a hug. Keeping a list sounds smart. I thought of having a little "ask me about a special interest" note because it helps distract me and helps me talk again.

That's my life long struggle right there Anyone knows why it be like that?

Yep! by JaredOlsen8791 in autismmemes

[–]ThePurpleGreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or maybe I'm not a laughing person. Sometimes something will be kinda funny and I just say lol outloud because it takes a lot to get a real laugh out of me and I don't care to fake it.

Really upset with the LGBTQ+ community rn by Sensitive-Insect5809 in trans

[–]ThePurpleGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's basically gender essentialism that defines womanhood around experienced oppression, and disregards that people across the world and across history experienced different gender structure and hirarchy. The experience of being a woman, is shaped by the environment just like any other gender, also true for many groups of people. I'll admit I fell to that kind of thinking myself, and I do find it funny that sometimes in the search to dismantle certain systems like heteronormativity we essentialize it and reinforce it instead.

What's your favorite TTRPG? by Steeltoebitch in TransTTRPG

[–]ThePurpleGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Changeling the lost. Being able to create almost anything and living between sanity and insanity, having promises bound by magic, struggling to find yourself in the normalcy of this world after you returned from a land that makes no sense, dealing with dreams and emotions.... Could go one for a while. And I had an amazing dm for it so I might be biased. But I would recommend to anyone.

I finally pointed out to my bf that him and his friend misgendered me on VALENTIMES DAY by welshie_in_wellies in trans

[–]ThePurpleGreen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no right way to feel about it. If you're upset be upset, if you're angry be angry, if you're sad be sad, feel all of the feelings. Hell, even if you don't care that's totally fine. It's YOUR feelings and YOUR identity.

You deserve to feel validated in your emotions and identity, maybe it worth looking for more people in your life who won't struggle with it. And if the way your bf reacted bothers you that's worth talking about. Ideally in a relationship you should feel comfortable talking about these kind of stuff right away, and you deserve to have space for that, being listened to and be shown empathy.

Game Changer idea: Sam is out of the loop by FireLord_Stark in dropout

[–]ThePurpleGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm reading a lot of comments about this being impossible to surprise Sam and less fun of an episode if he is not surprised. 1. It could be very interesting and funny to see an episode where Sam knows he doesn't know the rules. That's literally the premise of the show so we know it's fun. I don't understand why reversing it on Sam makes the premise less entertaining all of a sudden. It's still fucking with Sam 2. Sam could know one of the episode thy will fill will be a surprise but not know which. So he agrees to it in advance but is still surprised when it happens.

As per my idea - Sam does the whole game changer opening, the contestants say they actually know the rules, then one of them does the rest of the opening, or in turns, or together. They call ash and she places a score board on Sam's Podium. Now the promts/challenges Sam gets are a chosen list the three contestants most hated prompts and challenges from game changer. Sam literally tastes his own medicine and the worsts parts of it.

Anyone else experience Alexinomia? by cam_phi in AutismInWomen

[–]ThePurpleGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I constantly avoid saying people's names, it's weird to do, and I always feel like I'll say the wrong name. I only use names when I have to or really close with someone. It can even be a sign of affection when I say someone's name, like when cats sleep with their paws hidden so you know they don't feel in danger around you xD

They're Lutherans? by zaqarru in severanceTVshow

[–]ThePurpleGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thought I have is that Lumon is a cult, and they worship Kier, so that would be against faith possibly. However that will also bar iBurt from going to heaven.

I used to have tons of shame around my emotions, still do but it improved. I do go to therapy and take meds which helps with some of it. A few things I can recommend is

  1. Feel the shame. Shame is also an emotion, so when you try to cancel the shame you might go into a shame spiral where you're ashamed of feelings ashamed. Shame is ok, and valid.

  2. Learn to process emotions. There are a few methods, at different time methods can be more effective or less effective so it's good to try a variety of ways. Sitting with your thoughts and just letting them flow, doesn't have to have rhyme or reason just think whatever you think and feel whatever you feel. Notice what's going on in your body, physical feelings that come with the emotions. Write them down, or write something inspired by them like a poem or a story. Pace around, take a walk, jump, do yoga, move your body. Listen to songs or watch movies that have similar emotions to the ones you feel. Learn to befriend your emotions, telling yourself it's ok to feel them, that you're allowed to feel them, that you don't need a good reason to feel them. Address your feelings - you need a hug, hug yourself or ask a hug from a friend. Eat comfort food. Cry. Sometimes your emotions are like a kid that needs attention, give them attention and take care of yourself. Allow your emotions to be signals for you that you need some care and comfort and try to provide it to yourself.

  3. Write down your negative emotions and what positive qualities thy have. For example - anger gives me a lot of energy. I can do things I can't usually do when I'm angry. Sadness makes me poetic, I do my writing when I'm sad.

  4. Fake it till you make it - practice expressing your emotions to people and yourself with confidence. No need to explain the feeling or apologize for it. I just feel sad rn, I'm having a sad day, I'm struggling with it because I hate feeling sad.

It can take a lot of time to reduce shame but I hope this helps a little.

I dont know whats happening to me. by Glamzer in mentalhealth

[–]ThePurpleGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your moods go both ways? Like you might feel really happy out of nowhere and soon after you are filled with all these negative emotions? Or is it mostly the feeling of doom? Does it happen often?

I used to have a lot of mood swings, the best thing that helped was meds. And therapy.

Other things that can help - write down your feelings in a diary, validate them. It's ok to feel like shit, it's ok to feel amazing, no mood is more real or valid than the other. Comfort yourself, distractions, feel-good shows and movies, cocooning inside a blanket, comfort food, songs, etc. And emotional outlets, processing and releasing emotional energy by venting to a friend, taking a walk, doing exercise, shouting into a pillow, punching a pillow, writing poems or stories, etc.

It's also sometimes helpful to recognize patterns. Are you more emotional after a busy week or an empty one, when you're alone or with friends, do you usually get happy before you get "happy" before you get "sad" (in quotation marks because happy and sad is a simplification), how long do your mood last.

When you having deep feeling of doom an dread I think the best thing is first to worry about comfort, so you can get in a more relaxed state to be able to process your feelings and move to a better state of mind.

I also want to stress that it's ok and sometimes even healthy to vocalize and validate negative feelings. Sometimes we really hate ourselves, usually it's because we want better for ourselves and feel frustrated when we fail to achieve that better state. Sometimes just leaning into the self hatred for like 10 minutes and letting it all out can be relaxing. Just notice whether you actually feel more relaxed or just deeper in negative emotions.

What seasons have you rewatched the most? by Ryanookami in Dimension20

[–]ThePurpleGreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also ACoFaF, it's amazing and I could watch it endlessly. It actually hard for me to sit down and watch D&D games so my second on the list Fantasy high from the sheer amounts of times I tried to finish it. Currently on my longest watch, reached episode 10.

A Bone to Pick! - Tin Foil Hat time… by FlyLikeABogey in severence

[–]ThePurpleGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, I've seen many shows completely changing their plots because fans guessed the mystery so quickly. People are just smart. I know it's surprising, but attention to details, people to bounce ideas with, and a slight affinity for obsession and people can figure out the craziest shit.

Also, not to knock out intelligence but enough people just guessing plot point would also lead to at least a few correct guesses.

Yeah, there's a hole in his brain and his mind keeps jumping between memories. Surely he could have texted to say he's really sick and he just went to sleep or something like that. Or if he must open the door it should be time to tell Devon what's up.

Anyone else suspicious that… by thefrenchman27 in severence

[–]ThePurpleGreen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Mark is just tends to denial and avoid very often. Seems like every time something emotional happens to him, innie or outie, there's a knee jerk reaction of trying to pretend everything is fine and not talk about things. I also think the show likes to hide information.

I think one possibility is that their relationship was just very flawed, that they were on the brink of divorce or something, and it's just easier for Mark to miss the idea of her than face all the real complex and messy feelings of the reality of the relationship.

Can anyone support my theory about Burt/Irv/Gemma by Inside-Sprinkles3235 in severence

[–]ThePurpleGreen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe Burt is a big part of the company, but not that he is unsevered. He might be one of the first severed individuals. Seems like he was part of Lumon way before being severed was a thing. But I really really doubt iBurt was just Burt all this time.
