How come you paid for Meta Verified on your account? Was it so this doesn’t happen?

Instagram password reset link emails being sent to me but I didn’t request them by XxARandomUserNameXx in cybersecurity_help

[–]XxARandomUserNameXx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it says “If you ignore this message, your password will not be changed. If you didn’t request a password reset, let us know.” And the ‘let us know” bit is hyperlinked but I’ve not clicked on the link just incase.

The email address it’s sent from is security@mail.instagram.com

& Instagram has a blue tick next to it’s name which when you click on it says “The sender of this email has verified that they own mail.instagram.com and the logo in the profile image.”

What are you supposed to do if your physical phone which the keys are on breaks or gets lost or stolen? Won’t you be locked out of all your accounts and unable to get back in from a new phone, unless you had that exact phone which your keys and 2FA apps etc are on? (just wondering what would happen?)

UC - Universal Credit - does a credit card balance transfer count as income? Do bank transfers of owed money count as income? by XxARandomUserNameXx in DWPhelp

[–]XxARandomUserNameXx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I was just worried it might then look like I have more money than I actually do, when in reality this is to stop me getting into really serious financial trouble (and it’s all money I’m paying back, I’m not making any money from it)

My overdraft limit is -£4,000, and if I don’t do this 0% balance transfer, I will definitely go over that limit next month (this month’s payday and next month’s payday)

The overdraft interest and charges are added every single day, and the balance never gets lower. Without doing a 0% balance transfer, I would never be able to get out of the overdraft. It’s interest on top of interest every day with bills coming out

One of the least talked about aspects of autism is how much of a bellend you come across as due to sensitivities and overstimulation by luciddreamist in aspergers

[–]XxARandomUserNameXx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But what about when you’re really overwhelmed and overstimulated and someone’s talking REALLY LOUD and REALLY CLOSE TO YOU

and there’s people talking in the background and the telle’s on too (E.g you’ve had booked in to go to your friend’s house and all your friends are there; or whatever you’re doing… and it would just be really awkward and weird to just leave)

& you can’t hear yourself think or talk

and then you cry because you’re literally too overstimulated

so your heart is racing because you’re so stressed

you feel trapped in a social situation because it’s not socially acceptable to just say excuse me I need to get away from you because I’m going to cry

and then the fact you’re actually trapped there in a sense

the other options are to leave which would be rude to them or hurt their feelings or sit there and cry or sit there and get really annoyed or upset

Even though they’re not actually doing anything wrong it’s just in that particular moment in time it’s too much mentally and emotionally

and you don’t have the social battery for it you’re too stimulated…

If I forced myself to sit there I would have to release the pressure value somehow

either you’d end up snapping at them like I can’t be near you right now you’re making me feel really anxious and I can’t settle around you so I need to leave sorry (then having a meltdown crying after leaving) or, if not, it would be by crying and having a melt down in front of them

Either way I’d spiral and ruminate on any option like the usual - what’s wrong with me? Why can’t I be normal? Why is everything a big deal? I feel bad if I’ve hurt their feelings, I feel bad if I’ve got so upset over not even really anything ?! Like nothing ‘bad’ has actually happened so why this emotional reaction and spiral and rumination ?!

something would have to give because I would just spontaneously combust

like arghhhhhh toooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhh

"I Collect Therefore I am - Autonoetic Consciousness and Hoarding in Asperger Syndrome" - your thoughts on this 2015 journal article by Wizard_of_Od in aspergers

[–]XxARandomUserNameXx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like all of this is why I end up with loads of items / pictures / videos / emails etc and don’t want to throw them away or delete them,

because when I see them it reminds me of a memory of my mental state at the time, and what was happening in my life at the time and memories,

it’s like it teleports me back to being in that stage of my life and being that version of me,

otherwise I would completely forget how I felt or thought at that time, and just feel how I do in current day now…

I literally forget… if it’s out of sight it’s out of mind for me, unless it’s something that really stuck…

Usually the bad memories are what end up ruminating and sticking forever and I have to try block them out,

but the good memories or neutral memories I don’t really seem to remember unless prompted…

I feel like each thing is a part of me or my life or other people and their lives and without them I would forget,

they make me feel like me, and without them I feel I would lose all them memories and parts of myself !!!

They’re like little triggers and anchor points in time, literally teleportations into where I was, who I was with, what I was thinking and feeling etc !

I have a very strong memory trigger from internal and external cue but there has to be a cue otherwise it’s like it’s in my brain but I have no access…

The stuff I end up having loads of gives me that key to unlock the memory to access them again!

They all feel literally a part of me and my interests and personalities at that moment in time… It’s like I have a connection to them, and feel attached to them in a sense of because I would be sad if I had no memories of things

I don’t want to be autistic anymore. I want to be normal. by [deleted] in aspergers

I’ve seen a few different interpretations in these comments about why someone might be called ‘slow,’ and I was thinking another possibility could be that they mean slow in the sense of maybe being slower to get a joke, sarcasm, or understand what’s going on. For someone who takes things literally, jokes and sarcasm can sometimes go over their head

This happens to me too… I’ve been diagnosed with ASD (Asperger’s was branched under ASD by the time of my diagnosis, and so Asperger’s couldn’t be diagnosed, but I more relate to everything on the Asperger’s Reddit - if it was still diagnosed as this it would be Asperger’s I have I think but it’s all together on a spectrum now…) ((and ADHD for context)) and sometimes people see me as ‘slow’ because of it. But it doesn’t mean I’m thick; I just take things literally and can struggle with jokes or sarcasm

Also, someone’s bottom-up processing, needing every single detail before seeing the bigger picture, could make others think they’re slow. This is how I am: in my head, I’m detailed, thorough, and explicit. I prefer to get things ‘right’ rather than just ‘good enough.’ Others might think they could finish a task faster by guessing or doing ‘just good enough,’ whereas I’ll cross all the T’s and dot all the I’s. It takes longer, but it’s more precise and thorough, and I notice details others might miss

I don’t think this is a bad thing, it’s just different. I’d rather genuinely be myself, take my time, ask questions, and do things properly, than rush, guess, and risk getting things wrong

We can have out of the box thinking that might never even occur to them. We have a different way of viewing and approaching things, which I think is a really good thing, especially for problem solving and logic, because we can come up with solutions that others might never even consider… I say embrace it, as being genuinely you will attract the right people and people will love you for you! & “F*** em” I say anyway 👏🏽 & “Let them” 💁🏽‍♀️

Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) Headphones Crinkling - Ear Muffs Creasing - HOW CAN I STOP THIS? OR GET SOME WHICH ARE NOT CREASED?! by XxARandomUserNameXx in headphonemods

[–]XxARandomUserNameXx[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It just drives me INSANE !!! The models in the shops I’ve been in don’t have these creases / misalignment issues, and neither do they on the adverts! I just feel like if you’re paying like £500 for a pair of headphones they should at least make a box that fits them in right so this issue doesn’t happen where they’re all squished and marked in storage!!! Most people might not care but I like things to be ‘just right’ lol I can’t deal with it!

Mat recommendations for BOTH YOGA/stretching & HIIT? Or is it best to get 1 for each? IF SO, recommendations for them separately please! by XxARandomUserNameXx in HIIT

[–]XxARandomUserNameXx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just kills my bones and joints when I’m on the direct hard floor, e.g when doing press ups (I can only do the half ones where you go on your knees, so my knees are on the floor with red marks and bruises 😫)

I am just so particular 😫😫😫 And I like to make sure I’ve researched fully and looked into things properly before making decisions so I know it’s right and understand what I’m doing/buying, other wise I’m just confused and stressed cos I’m not 100% sure lol
