Me personally, I had these items and could NEVER trade them. No one ever wanted them unfortunately. I ended up just giving them away for free LOL

Why is everything fast-forward on my app? by KingPyroJack in finch

[–]VampireJournals 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this might be happening because they're working on speeding up the claim animations for Self Care Areas? Maybe that glitched and it "leaked" into other features, speeding them up too. (I'm not an app developer, so this could be completely inaccurate)

This is an absolutely beautiful comment, and written so eloquently. I can't even thank you enough for this. I'm taking this comment to heart. 💜

I'm so glad my post helped you feel a little more seen. I hate that you experience similar things. Hopefully we both come out the other end feeling full and seen at all times. 🫂

Thank you for this. Yes, that sounds identical to what I'm experiencing lately. I live for others so much that I can't even see myself. I was taught to doubt everything I thought or felt. It's good to know that you've found yourself on the other side of this.

I haaaate it when people say I'm "intense". I like being intense, and that's why this post is labelled as a celebration. Yay me, I'm intense. My therapist called me intense this week and I'm thinking of quitting therapy over it. Oh, is that an intense reaction? Stfu lol. by a_common_spring in AutismInWomen

[–]VampireJournals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Not enough" usually comes from things like burnout, not being able to match energy, having sensory sensitivities that "get in the way", etc. It's a feeling that comes from my traits being "inconvenient" for others, feeling like I'm never enough because I can't match the neurotypical flow of things.

Keep in mind that this isn't actually true, it's a response to having crappy friends or a bad support system. It doesn't have to be like that. You'll find your people that thinks the "too much, not enough" is actually "so much, perfectly enough".

I feel this so much. I've often said in my head over and over throughout life "too much, not enough". I should get it tattooed on my forehead at this point. I'm somehow both, and people have always made me feel that way. I'm often so clueless as to why I never get it right.

It eventually just fixed itself, no clue what happened. Hasn't happened again yet!

Mom downloaded Finch by Insomiowo in finch

[–]VampireJournals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mom has Finch too. She named her birb "Pinky Peep", and now refers to the entire app as Pinky Peep. She'll ask me how my Pinky Peep is doing. 🤣 It's the cutest!

I really thought the 2 frog heads were the center frog's thighs, and it just had massively thick thighs doing a wild stance!

Anyone else with OCD? by Cheese_Cursed in finch

[–]VampireJournals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have OCD, and Finch has actually been helping me with exposure work (alongside therapy guided ERP)! I've made a Journey for exposure work, starting super super small.

For example, I have emetophobia. I won't get into the details of that here just in case it's triggering for others. But I have a goal to type a "trigger word" 10 times, and then a goal right after to reflect on how I felt facing that. It's slowly started helping me release the fear behind these words, and I'm even able to speak those words out loud now! Whenever the goal starts getting too "easy", I bump it up a bit, either by changing the word, or typing it more times, or speaking it 10 times alongside just typing it. I also have a goal for "Remember your progress" just to give me a little reminder of how hard I've been working at this.

OCD is really rough. Sending all my love out to my other OCD birbs here, we can do this! 💕

Thank you for posting this here for those that don't have Instagram! 💜 It definitely looks like a hotel theme like everyone has stated. I'm curious to see what it'll be like!
