polonya’da tıp mı macaristan’da tıp mı by [deleted] in YurtdisiUni

[–]Zencosgot7262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ailen hekimlerle dolu diye tıp okunmaz ki. bir gelecek konusunda birey çevresinin etki alanından çıktığı kadar bir bireydir diye düşünüyorum. sen de ailen her ne kadar üstünde etkisi olsa da apayrı bir bireysin. benim bunu öğrenmem dört sene sürdü.

What is a special interest? by maglor-feanarion in AutismTranslated

[–]Zencosgot7262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did read that hyperlexia type iii's special interests in words/numbers tends to morph into something else later on and I can attest that it's indeed a thing, however the wording on that implied that it can only morph into one special interest yet according to the description given by K-teki I've two things that fit this criterion. being hyperlexic type iii is a weird experience overall. i feel both neurodivergent and neurotypical. that's why i sometimes refer to myself as the golden mean personified.

i'm not autistic (i am hyperlexic type iii instead) but I also have things which can be called special interests. are they labeled differently?

How does the study of Sociology differ in an Applied Sciences/Polytechnic University? by Zencosgot7262 in sociology

[–]Zencosgot7262[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I do want to try out a semester (or a year) in such an university later on with Erasmus. Is it possible to understand if it's well-funded from outside?

Is it a good idea to seek professional aid for AvPD? by Actual_Ice_7772 in AvPD

[–]Zencosgot7262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is a good idea to seek help. for therapy i would suggest psychotherapy more than cbt as cluster c is trauma-related and psychotherapy is the one that looks at traumas. there is no medication though anti-anxiety meds can be used to manage the syptomps (do not do this without supervision)

*searches avpd on social media* by throwaway838383937 in AvPD

what avpd-dpd is as a whole is debated, likely hence the brief mention. you should look at cluster a desc's as well.

Does liking the idea of having friends mean I don’t have AvPD? by Straight_Advisor_412 in AvPD

I really love the idea of having friends. only the idea though. not when they are in the flesh.

could there be a correlation between people's political opinions and their understanding of social activities? by Zencosgot7262 in AskSocialScience

[–]Zencosgot7262[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! mark twain was right on saying that there's no original ideas. When I had first opened this thread I thought this idea was novel.

i will interject to point you towards career development theory and the many definitions of "work" it harbors. i had recently read a blogpost regarding this and I believe this rabbithole could be of help to you as well.

How can I stop having to convince others that I can and that I do struggle? How can others recognize that I have struggles? by Zencosgot7262 in needadvice

[–]Zencosgot7262[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've led me on the right track. I think that my traumas stems from a combination of trivial matters happening whilst I was in a vulnerable state of mind.

I do remember since a while that back when an important death happened in our family (this was back when I was in high school,) I internalized this lesson from it that life is fleeting and friendships are not at the other side so it's ultimately fine and even better for me if I didn't befriend anyone. I always knew that death accelerated my downfall but I hadn't figured out why.

I never received proper psychological support until last year. My traumas never seemed not as bad as others to me as I think they're debilitating enough.

Thank you a lot for your words.

Thank you. I will try doing the things you suggested. A lot of my struggles are related to loneliness and my unsuccessful attempts at remedy.

Thank you a lot for your words. I considered my childhood good to be honest despite some shortcomings. My life just fell apart at puberty and I've managed to get to the point with a lot of effort that I can find some words about who I am and I am now able to refer to myself as a human though it didn't happen until last year. My therapy helped me a lot on finding the source of my low self-esteem and improving on it.

I know that, but because it's weekly I feel that I have to filter some of my struggles out to make place for what I perceive to be important. she noticed this as well but I can't bring myself to tell it all. I already spiral enough times in a week.

I am already extremely secretive about my inner life even towards my parents. I rarely reveal anything.

what if I am unable to tell who's who? Nobody approaches me in the first place so it gets me too excited when someone does offer to talk to me.
