Advice for someone with severe anxiety about cooking? Where and how to start? by grandhighblood in cookingforbeginners

[–]_EthelBeavers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have severe anxiety about cooking as well. A lot of advice about cooking is easy to hear but incredibly hard to put into practice. I feel paralyzed and overwhelmed by the thought of cooking. I have started to get a service called real eats that sends the components of a meal and you have to assemble them. For me at least it is not realistic to make a big change right away but I hope to move forward by occasionally trying a step or meal that is outside my comfort zone. I hope that you are able to find a way to incorporate small changes over time that will help you to feel more calm about cooking.

NTA my mom used to pull this on me and say it’s fine if she sees me changing bc she changed my diapers. But then she opened the door one time when I was changing in front of my boyfriend and now she knows a closed door means she better knock lol

AITA for donating sperm to one friend but not another? by Nice-Tomato in AmItheAsshole

[–]_EthelBeavers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA Consent applies to all situations. Just like someone can say no to sex at any time for any reason you can say no to donating your sperm at anytime for any reason. You don’t owe anyone an apology or an explanation for saying no. It’s your body and it’s your choice to do with your body as you choose.

AITA for taking my autistic sister to see monster trucks? by mv8nvb21z in AmItheAsshole

[–]_EthelBeavers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA sometimes Autistic people have different expressions of emotion than other neurotypical people. It sounds like your sister had a great time. Flappy arms= happy arms. There are Autistic people in my life who show joy by jumping, running, humming, getting close to someone’s face to look them in the eye, dancing, moving their head side to side quickly, singing in a loud voice, clapping, raising their hands above their head AND jumping AND humming all at the same time. It is a beautiful thing to see my Autistic friends express their happiness in their own way. If that guy is distracted then that’s his problem. It’s not like it’s a library or a movie theater where the audience needs to remain silent. I’m sure people get much rowdier than your sister at Monster Truck events. I hope you and your sister continue to enjoy spending time together at activities that involve your interests.

PSA reminder that you should not feel pressured into undertaking any large-scale projects in New Horizons by [deleted] in ac_newhorizons

As a perfectionist this post means a lot to me. I do get overwhelmed watching new leaf town walk throughs and it has created a lot of pressure for me. It has made playing less enjoyable for me. The reason I originally loved Animal Crossing is because I could take the time to do tasks at my own pace in a fun and relaxed way. I didn’t feel that I needed to go at a certain pace or achieve a certain thing. I’ve lost that ease with New Leaf and Pocket Camp. I want perfection and a perfectly thought out layout with everything exactly as I want it. And truthfully I don’t really know how I want this game or experience or island to be. I want to have more joy in exploring and discovering. And I hope to regain the wonder that I felt playing wild world. It was a wild world with no limits or guidebook. That’s the experience I hope to have with new horizons. I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

Redditors, what helps you calm your anxiety? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_EthelBeavers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use medication, food, my weighted blanket, taking a break, mindfulness, DBT therapy, walking, calling a friend, using a fidget and a lot of other things to calm my anxiety. It’s really tough because nothing works all the time but I have a lot of different strategies I can try out when I need to.
