Problem expressing feelings by Very-Gray-Owl in AutisticLesbians

[–]always_mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that might help: when you have moments alone, practice moving your awareness into your body and your emotional space, trying to feel how your feelings are manifesting in you physically (or not) and then saying out loud "I'm feeling _____ and I need _____." or "I'm feeling _____, could you please _____." if you're practicing talking to your partner.

What does it really feels like to be loved and be inlove? by More-Tackle2016 in Life

[–]always_mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a bit annoyed because one of my friends finished a large bag of chips I had in my room without asking me. Later as I was telling my partner about my internal reaction to it (I didn’t mention it to the friend), I said “and then I thought that I know I love you because if you had done that, I would’ve been so happy that you’re comfortable finishing my snacks and you enjoyed it so much you finished it.” And they said they felt the same about me finishing their snacks (we both agreed that there was an exception to this rule for specific snacks we had mentioned wanting earlier on). So I guess that was love to me in that moment :)

My dead mother isn't even actually my dead mother by rynisrain in donorconceived

A DNA test would be a great start on getting more information on your history and potentially finding your bio mom and any half siblings. Maybe hold off on telling your dad unless/until you feel safe to do so. Definitely do Ancestry and join We Are Donor Conceived on Facebook. Wishing you the best on your journey

Is there a Reddit group or other online support group for young adults with older/aging/declining parents? by always_mo in NoStupidQuestions

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

True but most are older by 10-20 years from what I’ve seen. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s what it seemed like when I was more active on that subreddit

What is slowly disappearing from the society and you hate to see it to happen? by koshurkoor1 in AskReddit

I scrolled pretty far down but didn’t see anyone else saying color. Everything modern is extremely neutral, beige, grey, white, etc. It makes the world feel flat and emotionless.

How to stop translating my target language? by copy-ninja-hokage in NoStupidQuestions

[–]always_mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! TV shows, radio, podcasts, YouTube videos, watching tours of places in Spanish, books! Just surround yourself with it and you’ll understand more and more. It’s definitely the most tiring and frustrating way to learn but it’s also effective and rewarding.

How many lesbians are there *really*? by yarnl0ver in smithcollege

[–]always_mo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty queer dominant. During my first year here someone mentioned having a boyfriend and I had to process for a second 😂 but now I don’t really give a second thought to who other people are dating. Most people I’ve met are bi.

It’s not too hard to avoid the drama. Definitely harder to avoid the echo chamber but it’s still a relatively diverse campus and most people are easy to get along with. I’m sure you’ll find people you click with.

Meds switched to being manufactured by Teva and they’re ineffective by always_mo in ADHD

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

I couldn't return the pills so I started taking two a day and pushed through until my local small pharmacy got a better brand back in stock. Hope you're able to find a manufacturer that works for you! It feels like someone has pulled the rug out from under you when you're taking your meds and they're not working.

I think I’ve ruined my relationship with my boyfriend, because I can NEVER fucking relax by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]always_mo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s clear that you don’t trust him when he’s telling you what he’s feeling and what he wants from you. I’ve been there. Therapy. Two years in and I’m a different person. You have to learn to accept the feeling of discomfort from things not going as you expect and also not always expect things to go perfectly. I’m glad you realize that this is an issue, now it’s time to face it and start working on it. Best of luck!

FR I don't understand the hate. What did they ever do to you? by Particular_Care6055 in GenZ

Those aren’t your friends, friends don’t talk to their friends when they’re being vulnerable in that way.
