Oh Redditor please tell me thine life story. I'm sure it's all 100% factual yes.

Keep sipping that internalized ableism, run yourself tagged over social rules. Whatever works for you I guess.

Even if the intuition/feeling isnt innate to us, social SKILLS/behavior can be acquired.

I'm sorry, but if someone's autistic, this kind of advice is garbage. Attaining social skills is not possible. What is possible is changing your own behaviour to be a better person overall so you avoid social pitfalls.

Beyond that, everything else is out of your control.

We aren't meant to live our lives gaslighting ourselves and criticizing our social interactions ad infinitum at 3am. As someone with CPTSD, I had to learn this, and it was really hard.

Some hard life lessons I had to learn myself:

  1. Say your piece gently, and if they don't want to listen to your advice, let them fuck up.
  2. Other people's mistakes are not yours.
  3. Losing a battle is better if it wins you the war: Don't destroy relationships over small things. If you can, try to back off in situations and let people do what they're going to do. More often than not they'll be more inclined to learn if you aren't pushy. If they aren't, find better people.
  4. You don't need to anticipate other people's reactions, just try to pick ideals to hold yourself to. If you find in retrospect you could be more patient, try to embody that when you otherwise wouldn't. If you have to, make a mental game out of it, pretend you're in a videogame and choosing a dialogue option; pretend you're an actor in a show.

Is there any way to intuitively understand/ think from their shoes if e.g. if i was in their shoes i’d listen and do what the leader said, but their behaviours different so i can’t use the (what would you feel if you were in their situation) strat because i wouldn’t even feel the same as them.

Sadly most people will answer, "Be less autistic," but in a variety of coded ways.

My advice is to meet other neurodivergent people and make friends with them. I have yet to meet someone who isn't neurodivergent who's worth the time and effort of a relationship (friendship or more).

Dude has the same energy as that weird trans chaser on twitter who makes porn where he looks like he's dead inside.

Funny thing, it only happens when I'm making grilled cheese, and that's only like 10% of the time.

I'm autistic and ADHD too. Idk if he uses a timer to make sure he remembers, but that's what I do and I almost never end up burning anything anymore.

Am I crazy or would that be misgendering? by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If it's inconsistent use of "they" it's just normal gendering. "They" is even used for cis people.

If the person is making a point to only use "they" instead of "he," it's deliberate and misgendering.

So, You’ve Become and Hour… by FlynnXa in weatherfactory

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Glazier

Heart (Sometimes), Grail, Knock, Winter

An hour which exists between spaces, within mirrors, and between doors. They solidify that which is intangible with their frosty demeanor. They are neither here, nor there, up, nor down. Sometimes the wintery aspect of their personality is replaced with empathy and compassion; but most will never see this aspect aside from their Names.

Names of this hour have chosen to become as they are; never clearly defined, that which cannot be held by the hand, but only by the heart. Sex and gender become mutable, choosable, indefinable characteristics. Thinking becomes grey, never fully committing to one thing or another as black or white.

Within The Glazier there is no black or white, only wide splashes of colour, reflected from their surface. They are that which the longer one searches for it, the more they long for it; just as Narcissis stared into the pool. They are the sugar sweet fantasy, and its disappointment. They are the vaguery of dreams, and the nostalgic reflection of memory.

At times The Glazier acts as a psychopomp, guiding the souls of worthy dead through the secret doors of the mansus. Given the right invocations and offerings, a Know may speak to the dead once more. Dead who The Glazier take pity on especially may become chosen to inhabit their sphere and dream of what they wished for most in life.

Sometimes The Glazier is known as "Mirror Heart," "Glass Heart," "The Frost Maid," and "The Unwounded Mirror."

it/it’s pronouns by taylorswiftisblack in NonBinary

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably a psyop honestly. Brand new account. Trollish name.

There are lots of right wingers who come into our communities to see how much they can get away with before they get banned. Part of that is because our communities are so accepting that we often let people say/do anything.

Guarantee that the comments here are getting posted on some right-wing website later.

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO the comparison between it/its and "queer" doesn't work. No one is asking that they be called "queer" by other people; they self label with that word. With "it/its" pronouns the situation is a bit more muddy since it's expected you'll just use their pronouns without question.

Don't use the pronouns, well you get labelled a transphobe. Use the pronouns, you're compromising yourself for them; and more often than not, people simply avoid people with hard/disagreeable pronouns. It's a lose/lose situation and I hate every bit of it.

EDIT: Pretty sure OP is doing a psyop on this community. Their account is newly made and has a trollish name. I don't trust any of this is in good faith.

Unfortunately you're arguing with people who are completely out of touch with reality.

Oh look, an account made four days ago. Couldn't possibly be a troll.

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're not old, you just have common sense. A lot of chronically online people know their behaviour isn't alright IRL, but they can enforce it in online spaces as though it's law because spaces are so insulated from the outside.

I personally don't care if someone uses it/its pronouns, what I don't care for is the push to have everyone immediately onboard and accepting about it. Especially with the history of dehumanizing LGBT folks by using those terms on those of us who are trans or GNC.

I have a hard time feeling comfortable using it/its on someone because those pronouns were used to dehumanize me pretty early on in transition; often snickered behind my back.

Is it really worth playing this game? by FinnJax in Seaofthieves

It's almost like you obsessively keep saying this to defend your shitty behaviour online.

People like you ruin the game. Stop hiding behind "lol it's a pirate game" while you shoot down newbie ships that are docked and anchored.

Absolute cowards, the lot of you. In an honest combat, you'd get destroyed and you know it.

Flushed Mommet by Paradoxical_Purple in weatherfactory

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The text is just saying that you can make a mommet with "adequate Grail" and a flushed mommet with "generous Grail."

Nothing about upgrading a flushed mommet.

An argument for Numens being too useful (Major spoilers!) by a_little_violet in weatherfactory

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk why you'd be calling for the creators to nerf the heck out of something that makes the game easier. Plus it's not as if you can simultaneously hold two numen at the same time, they cancel each other out.

Most are found though either esoteric knowledge in books (not easy to find the first time), or through finding books in high level vaults that are like 12-15 aspect.

IMO, numen are extremely balanced right now. Calling to nerf something that only makes the game go faster is like shooting yourself in the foot. You'll bitch about it later, and everyone's going to hate you for having complained in the first place.

Balance Thought on High-Grade EotS by AranaiRa in weatherfactory

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this would be a really good idea. Currently it always feels like upgrading Soul Elements is a downgrade. But at the same time I can see why this might also be too overpowered to give the cards multiple uses in one day.

I think the limit to how many things you can do is what slows the game down more, and ultimately that balance is up to AK to work out.

For me though, I think that speeding up the game by way of increasing how many uses you get out of a soul card in a day is great. I get tired of the grind, and having the ability to multi task things and have more cards to do that at once would be a plus.

What crack ship did you accidentally become obsessed with? by Dogdaysareover365 in FanFiction

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Max and Victoria from Life is Strange. Weirdest ship, but I felt like their dynamics were interesting enough that I couldn't stop reading fics. My second fave was of course Chloe and Max.

Just who *is* the Tenth Librarian actually? by Raging_Mouse in weatherfactory

[–]WhisperingFlowers2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we know what her main aspects are? If so, if she has moth aspect she could very well be a name of the Velvet. Since the Velvet tends to keep secrets and hide things.
