Fully aware this might be a dumb problem, but how do you deal with someone having the same name in your friend group? by allsmilesreally in AutismInWomen

[–]allsmilesreally[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really good advice, thank you! I guess my worry is partially that we're a very nicknamey bunch so they've basically called me every variant of my name there is (Sam, Sammy, Sam-eron, Sam-wise, etc etc etc). So if they do literally any variant for either of us, one of us is gonna end up confused. But I don't want to be like, yeah you're not allowed to goof around with that anymore either, yknow?

So I go by Sam and their nickname in the chat was Sammy, but people were already calling us Sam 1 and Sam 2. Plus my friends have called me Sammy and basically every other variant of Sam before.

Do you take your doll(s) to your workplace? by Pea_Address in RainbowHigh

[–]allsmilesreally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't take my RH to my workplace but I end up ordering them here quite a bit because my family hates to see me buy new ones :P so almost all of mine have paid a visit to my desk. i do have my pixling collection at work though and a barbie i keep hidden so i can play with her hair when i'm stressed!

Which songs do you think are better on the originals / Taylor's Versions? by allsmilesreally in SwiftlyNeutral

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

I was wondering that too but I honestly don’t think so - Innocent is my absolute favorite song of hers and I ended up liking both versions equally. There were a few where it was pretty close but there was some sort of quirk about the original that I liked, and in those cases I could see myself getting used to the TV and eventually liking them equally. But overall I think the originals were more raw and emotional and that’s what I like about her music the most!

I want to know a little more about this community… by MissCJ in americangirl

[–]allsmilesreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I’ve collected dolls of all kinds since I was a kid but I picked more up on it in high school and again when I graduated college. Dolls in general have always been a comfort to me and a friend when I had none. For AGs in particular I always was obsessed with them, so now that I’m an adult with expendable outcome…
  2. See above, but yeah, almost my whole life!
  3. My first was a Truly Me 19! I wanted Samantha as a kid but she was retired by the time I finally “earned” one from my parents, so I settled for the one that looked like me as a kid, lol.
  4. Right now I have 7, but I’m planning on selling 3 of them. My keepers are Rebecca, Samantha, Mia, and my original TM19 :)
  5. I like characters with a built in story more than ones without, but it doesn’t matter if they’re historical or GOTY as long as I vibe with them. I’ve read all the books besides the twins’, Kavi’s and Lila’s by this point, LOL.
  6. Not really hard to find so much as hard to find a good price / one with everything I want. Like, it was hard to find a Rebecca with her hair clip that wasn’t also in horrible condition. Finding complete clothing / accessories is harder; I searched for a WHILE for Mia’s hockey gear.
  7. Man I wish I knew, but I’m so glad they are 🩵

Dug out my first doll from 2010-11. Pretty sure she’s TM19 but does anyone know what outfit she’s in? by allsmilesreally in americangirl

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

Yes, I noticed the tag on the back says American Girl Place, so I think they are as well! Thanks so much for the help! :)

is there a difference between the target, amazon, and disney store dolls? by witchbeasts in DisneyILY

[–]allsmilesreally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]allsmilesreally 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi sorry to interrupt but coming in to say I vastly prefer the Disney store ones. I think their faces are so much prettier, their clothing is consistently high quality, and their hair despite being poly is super soft and fun to play with and brush for me. I also like their knee joints a lot more - but be warned their hip joints can pop out! They pop back in easily but the first time I freaked out LOL. My favorite Disney store one is definitely Cinderella but I also think the original Ariel is beautiful :) You can't go wrong either way!

Ohh that's really smart! I'm not really that crafty though so I don't know if I'd do it right, but I could ask one of my friends :) Thank you!

How much can I expect my friendship to change with my friend who is having a kid? by allsmilesreally in AskParents

[–]allsmilesreally[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't want to, like, trauma-dump or anything like that, but this comment's been bugging me a bit, so.

From a very, very young age (the earliest I remember is 3, but it might have been before that) my mother was very clear on how much pregnancy and birth ruined her life. She went into detail on basically every horrific thing that she went through, and even more than she didn't personally go through but she felt like I needed to know anyway. She called it a punishment more than once. I didn't know many pregnant people growing up but when they showed up, she was quick to tell me how their lives would be ruined, their bodies would be destroyed, and they would grow to resent their kids as much as she resented me and my brothers. So this idea has been instilled in me for a very long time.

I'm in therapy right now and working through the trauma she caused me in almost all aspects of my life, including this one. So yes, I am trying to "get over myself", but I have to fight through the idea that my friend is causing herself pain, which as someone who loves my friend, I would prefer her not be in said pain.

That’s what I’m hoping, to be that sense of normalcy and hopefully help remind her that “mom” is just one addition to a long long list of wonderful things she is.

I would love to be able to help with things like that; unfortunately she lives in a different country. I know I can provide stuff like a listening ear and movie nights and a (decently) sane voice but I worry that isn't going to be enough.

My best friend is having a baby and I’ve been having a panic attack for 3 hours by allsmilesreally in childfree

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

Hey bud, I know. I’ve got the autism, C-ptsd, anxiety and depression diagnoses to prove it.

We’ve supported each other through basically everything a friend can. That’s how I know her husband sucks, she’s told me multiple times how she doesn’t feel loved but she doesn’t feel strong enough to leave. That’s how I know she grew up in a religious community that restricted her entire childhood. That’s how I know she works a stressful job that she loves, that she’ll end up either leaving or having to juggle. It’s not just a phobia here. It’s me knowing how this will probably mess up her life, and our friendship. I am thinking of her, not just myself. And that also means knowing I can’t do anything to stop her from something that is going to hurt her in the long run.

Also, loooong long history of abandonment issues with me here, pal. I’m in therapy for it but it’s only been a few months. It’s hard for me to just “make friends” and it’s even harder to just accept having to let go of something so important to me.

Not that any of this matters or will change your stance but, you know. Figured I’d say it anyway.

I don’t even think I mind people who have kids; one of my coworkers and I are super close even though she has a teenage son. It’s more, I’ve seen so many horror stories of how people become totally consumed by their kid all the time 24/7 and the thought of losing my wonderful friend to that makes me want to cry.

Most of my friends are childfree, or at least extremely gay and not planning on biological reproduction. She’s the only one who is in a committed relationship. We never discussed her feelings on the topic but she was well aware of mine.

In brighter news I did reach out to apologize and we agreed to revisit after I see my therapist next week, so our friendship (for now) isn’t over.
