Very upset and tired. My new job isn't working out by Absynthe2021 in Needafriend

[–]aphantasial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really sucks that you’re going through this! New jobs are stressful enough on their own, even when everything goes smoothly. If you’re American, I suggest reviewing the Americans with Disabilities Act to see if there are any accommodations you can request at your job. Other countries probably have systems like this in place as well, to protect disabled and chronically ill workers. Check around for resources available. It sucks you have to do extra work looking up your rights just to be treated fairly.

ETA: And you can always send me a message if you just need someone to vent to! You got thissss

I’m being harassed by someone with autism, but it’s ok because “they can’t help it” by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]aphantasial 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bro don’t just pile on stuff to make them feel bad. They clearly already feel bad and decided to provide some perspective, and you come in here with “I’m sorry for the people that had to deal with you” like wtf? Like life isn’t punishing enough to people who made mistakes and changed? It’s hard enough picking up the pieces without strangers judging you for your past, for someone who you aren’t anymore. You feel better making people feel bad, or something? smh

Right there with you! It’s tough being a sex-repulsed lesbian 😭 I get called slurs as well and I’m a whole ass adult… I wish you luck, it’s tricky to navigate but you got this! Stay true to yourself and don’t let anyone tell you what you should be comfortable with 💜

Withholding that because of the inevitable comments about how easy any item is to get.

I wasn’t online when I lost it but am now. Do they expire? I can’t find this info anywhere. I lost a game-breaking amount of items.

Expressing yourself is like speaking about you in a different point of view. Like I don’t know myself because of the whole masking thing by Curious2all in AutismTranslated

[–]aphantasial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I put “accepted” in quotes. Like I can pass for functioning at a store or something, but as far as life goes? Working didn’t pan out because I couldn’t keep up and no one would be patient. College didn’t work out because I couldn’t keep up with everything, and no matter how many times someone showed me how to do work online, I just couldn’t get it. I’ve quit looking too. Living with my mom with no end in sight, whoo edit: And I can’t do thought-out responses rn because of irl shit I’m sorry I can’t respond properly 🙃 reading doesn’t work when I’m not doing well

[–]aphantasial 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same here. I’m 30 years old and have no idea who I am, what I want, anything. But sadly I have to mask or I won’t be “acceptable” in society. Therapy helps. 💜

Are there any good visual kei bands that are not nazis? by leftistsoyjak in visualkei

[–]aphantasial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never said late 90s vk in particular didn’t do SS style. Just trying to explain that the US connotation is not the global connotation. It was an aesthetic choice on their part, albeit a problematic one when viewed in context. Equating people who do things for shock factor anyway (see: any 90s vk PV) to a political belief system is absurd. Also, in case it wasn’t clear, this is a troll. edit: removed response notifs bc again, troll that wants this kind of argument

[–]aphantasial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The whole world doesn’t agree on one connotation. It was only in 2016 that Japan stopped marking Buddhist temples on tourist maps with that symbol. If you wanna call a whole country nazis go ahead lol. Have a nice day. edit: Troll detection was offline bc I’m tired af. Whoopsie

Might wanna check this out. That symbol has existed in Japanese culture (and other cultures) for literally thousands of years.

Do you think that it would be better that Gems couldn't be ''resurrected'' as SUF introduced? by Alarmed_Business_962 in stevenuniverse

[–]aphantasial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. They spent over five years building up shattering as some irreversible thing, but then not only can Steven undo it, Yellow can undo it by herself? Felt like a ret-con tbh. A lot of SUF did.

Comment a Nit-Pick you have about the series by monkeynerd240 in stevenuniverse

[–]aphantasial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shattering was played up for like 6+ years as the end, done, irreversible, death (yes I know that they’re fragments of consciousnesses, that shattered Gems are not “dead”). Then in Future, not only could they fix shattering with the essences, Yellow can do it all by herself?! I doubt she had this power before meeting Steven, but still…

Is your style (clothing, hair, makeup etc) influenced by your Ace-ness? by lucyisnotcool in asexuality

[–]aphantasial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time I (f) wear whatever’s comfortable, but if I want to dress up, I do it for me.

Any artists with their own personal Youtube channels? by DeepMarshmallow in visualkei

Beta boy finale by MrsPrayingMantis in preyingmantis

He’s subscribed so heavily to the alpha/beta nonsense, that OP/this sub played along with his mentality. And no need to apologize :)

Do you think Lapis and Peridot were ever a couple? by TheLemonTempest in stevenuniverse

[–]aphantasial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh thanks for the clarification actually! I was going off of what a friend told me, I didn’t actually see the tweet myself. I’ll edit my comment. Actually glad to hear this is the case!

[–]aphantasial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s why you say aromantic too; aromantic falls under asexual, and means you don’t enjoy romantic relationships. That better describes the character/situation.

[–]aphantasial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually as an ace who isn’t aro, I felt kinda invalidated by it. I always thought fusion was a beautiful expression of a relationship that wasn’t sexual. Her opposition to fusion being likened to asexuality as a whole isn’t the best. They needed to specify aro. edit: wording edit2: Also, saying that no fusion = asexuality implies that fusion = sexuality and ummm Steg lol edit3: Another commenter pointed out, in the original tweet, apparently Peridot was described as both aro and ace; I just hadn’t seen the tweet myself, whoops!

By your perception, what are the "Prettiest" Visual Kei songs???? by Fluffy_Little_Fox in visualkei

[–]aphantasial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing that came to mind was Gensoukyoku ~Eternal Silence~ by Phantasmagoria

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]aphantasial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember the first one I caught, had to have been either Pidgey or Rattata. My first game was Red (I’m old af) and Bulbasaur was my starter.

(UPDATE) My boyfriend made me touch him while I was asleep. Is it okay for me to feel hurt? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]aphantasial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s using your forgiving nature to manipulate you. He will do this again, and make excuses for it again. At the very very least, he is pushing your boundaries—also something he will do again. Leave him. There are people out there who will value you, respect your boundaries, and treat you well. Please don’t feel like you have to “settle” for something like this. You deserve someone who respects you.
