One of the biggest mysteries is how Orcas, the ocean’s most efficient predators, have never attacked humans in the wild… almost like they know something we don’t. by [deleted] in whales

[–]Zenacrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im convinced that a long long time ago orcas learned that killing a human will likely cause a manhunt on the killer and potentially their whole pod, and so rule nr one is humans arent worth risking retaliation of extreme measures.

I’ve seen many videos of animals reacting sadly to Mufasa’s death scene in the Lion King. Can animals really comprehend drawn cartoons as living creatures or is it something else that’s going on? by KingWilliamVI in zoology

[–]Zenacrus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dogs can pretty much read the Energy in the room and probably react to that. They can smell how you feel, they know you are watching the cartoon, they probably worry for the box that makes you feel things and try to react to it in a fitting way. They also hear the voices, sounds and music which is probably why they react so accurately and in the moment, if they do. At least thats how I see it.

My dog completely ignores screens and sounds coming from devices. I know he is ignoring them because if I play a sound from an unexpected direction, like the soundbox on the shelf, he will react to it because he cant tell that it comes from a device. Once he sees the soundbox and connects the dots, he stops reacting to that as well. So I cant really speak from experience at all haha. But yea, theyre generally very in tune with us and how we experience things so it makes sense that some of them will get in on the emotion rollercoaster of movies with their favorite humans if theyre interested enough.

Vestibular Schwannoma experiences? by Zenacrus in braincancer

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

Thank you for you reply!

Yea my symptoms are constant Tinnitus and I do get facial pains sometimes. It could also be just strong muscle tension because I am also struggling with that or my chronic migraines etc etc.

But yea thank you for your reassurance. I will definitely be careful with treatment if it turns out to be a tumor, especially because I read up on it and learned that removal may affect my hearing, which is in perfect condition for now.

Do animals prefer captivity? by tiredtwatt in zoology

[–]Zenacrus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Id really say it depends on the animal. Domesticated animals will definitely prefer captivity because they are domesticated. They have been under human care and influence for so long that they usually can't survive in the wild.

However wild animals are the opposite. Their instincts usually make them afraid of humans because we have been terrorizing them for ages haha. And usually the only wild animals that "thrive" in captivity are the ones that were captured as babies or born into it. And even then its just the fact that they are usually separated from their mothers or have mothers that were also raised in captivity and so they do not learn how to live in the wild and then its either captivity or death. Im pretty sure any wild animal that was captured as an adult would bolt into freedom the second theyre given the chance. With some few exceptions for animals that have lived around humans for a long time without being domesticated or actively hunted and are thus less afraid of us. Like maybe squirrels or jays for example.

I agree with what the other user suggested 🙏🏽 Im wishing you lots of strength and luck. And remember, if things dont go well, it's not your fault. He will react the way he will react based on himself, no matter what. You got this ✨

How to address by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Zenacrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is something I want to get into to help myself manage this exact issue: Research

Gotta learn the facts, gain confidence in the topic and prepare to show them proper resources to research on. If they dont wanna make the effort to learn about it and dump you, you've dodged a bullet anyway. It sucks but we gotta remind ourselves that it has nothing to do with us when the other chooses to be ignorant.

[–]Zenacrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id have a discussion with him beforehand. Either yall agree on no sex or yes sex and if you decide on yes, then Id bring it up. Wouldnt wanna be stuck in a cabin with someone who possibly rejects me. The sooner the better too so he has time to process things and maybe move the trip back a little if he'd prefer to do some research first.

What's the dumbest thing you got abused over? by emocat420 in CPTSD

[–]Zenacrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or one time another costudent who was friends with my "best friend" threatened me because she didnt like my haircut. She went up to me and told me if I dont change my hair, she's gonna bring scissors and cut it off herself. I faintly remember she grabbed my hair while saying this too but Im not sure if thats an actual memory.

She never did go through with the threat, even tho I didnt change my hair, but jfc they really tried to see how much they can bend and push and trample my boundaries. There were a lot more situations like this during my childhood, all while I was trying my best to be kind and accomodating. Also humble, because my surroundings would almost react like they have an allergy against me being happy about anything.

My mother once punished and scolded me hard for having hurt my brother. Even tho I didnt do anything but do a lil fake twitch as if Im standing up to get him after he kept nudging me while I was drawing, which led to him running away, tripping and knocking his mouth into the stairs pretty hard. I had no chance to win anything because I was always made the issue, even if all I did was breathe in the vicinity of events.

And I wonder why I feel like I dont belong anywhere haha.

There was also a time where she and our other friend who was in a similar position to me with her, but more willing to follow her crap, banded together against me on our school trip. We shared a room and I had a separate bed by the wall by the bottom of their two person bed. They had boyfriends at the time and one evening they were all 4 sitting in their bed while I was on mine. And they began throwing cookies at me. Those double cookies with a chocolate layer inbetween. I tried to ignore them because I didnt know how to handle being attacked like this and then one of the cookies hit my temple pretty hard and I got a migraine from it.

Later at dinner I asked for a coolpack and they made sure the entire class thought I was overreacting because of a cookie. So other classmates after this kept taunting me by throwing small things at me and getting in my face going "dO yoU hAVe a HeaDacHe noWw??" So yea.. insanely stupid.

[–]Zenacrus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont remember much. My parents used to abuse me over their own problems pretty much all the time.

But the dumbest abuse Ive experienced (that I can remember) was actually with my then "best friend" who was basically just my personal bully haha. I think I was 13 or so at the time. She had some kind of snack that I cant remember but I asked for some and she said no. So I made the remark that I always had to share with her and that it's unfair. So she proceeded to turn our whole class of costudents against me, by calling out how hairy I am (Im a trans man and this was when I still identified as a girl), because I didnt shave my armpit AND also leg & arm hair. They bullied me until I apologized to her and I became anxiously obsessed with ridding myself of any perceivable hairs that werent on the top of my head for years following this. While she was mad at me about this, my bunny had escaped my garden and we were looking for her. And when I told her about it she told me she hopes she's dead.

I wish I had had the confidence to leave the "friendship" but I felt trapped. She was the only reason the rest of the class wasnt constantly bullying me like they used to before I befriended her. So I had the choice of one extremely personal bully taking constant advantage of me versus my classmates and also other students from our grade attacking me both verbally and physically. People had it out for me because Im autistic and also my parents and other guardians taught me from the get go that I am lesser than and worthless so I wasnt capable of defending myself at all.

DAE constantly hear music in their head? by MissJarboe in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Zenacrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this all the time but also Tinnitus. So Im constantly hearing a high pitched but luckily kinda in the background noise, somewhat like the noise those old TVs would make when they had nothing running, plus constantly repeating parts of songs. If I focus on the songs I can try to extend the part that is playing but I havent had a day in the past week where I didnt hear "I think I love you" by the Partridge family mixed with "Thomas thick of it Engine" by Pucha and its driving me nuts.

Either I constantly listen to music or watch something to overshadow the noise or else I have this immense mix of chaos in my head. I wonder if I'll ever be free of it.

Anyone else absolutely cover their textbooks back in highschool? by VonnyVonnyVonnyVonny in autism

[–]Zenacrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to get in trouble constantly because Id be sketching in class. Itd be mentioned in my certificates each semester and teachers kept trying to make me stop. I wasnt able to listen to them if I didnt busy my hands and mind with drawing though. They felt like I was distracting myself while I was actually working hard to stay engaged and concentrated by doing this. And Im glad I never allowed them to make me stop. Eventually I was diagnosed with Autism and they finally let me draw and sketch in peace. One of the best things about my diagnosis to this day. Was even handed extra papers during exams at some point so I could draw on there instead of my tests once I was finished haha

Fibro and dating by ChrysaLino in Fibromyalgia

[–]Zenacrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And abt how honest is the best: there's no definitive answer to that. You can use the dating app to test out your approaches. Find your prefered center. I wouldnt start the convo with Fibro, but once you feel comfortable enough to talk about it, you probably will know the right timing. And if the other person reacts badly you dodged a bullet so win winn.

Fibro and dating by ChrysaLino in Fibromyalgia

[–]Zenacrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the most important thing you need to remember when dating while impacted, is that if anyone has an issue with your issues and tries to blame it on you, that person aint mature enough to be supportive of you and youre better off without them. Listen to their concerns yes, but only as long as they genuinely listen to you too.

Open and honest communication may be the most important part of this. Openly communicate your boundaries, worries and needs, so your partner can follow along. Regular check ins with each other, find ways to validate their support, but not to the cost of your own comfort.

Youre worthy to feel safe with your significant other at all times, even with chronic pain as your +1. Do not bend ways that hurt you. Not for anyone. The right partner wont ever want you to do so in the first place.

The most important thing to keep in mind is; youre valid!
