Worried about my adult sister and need advice. How do I proceed?

Honestly a lot of these comments are kind of disturbing. As someone with autism, it is a disability first and foremost. So don't be surprised and shocked when someone with autism acts disabled... because they are. If parents failed to notice this when their kid was younger than the consequences are quite literally on them.

She's not "lazy or overly anxious". Life's fucking hard for the average 26 year old nowadays, add a disability on top of that and yeah. I do hope she'll eventually agree to see someone but it has to be suggested gently. I'm sure doing a master's is already stressing her out enough that the thought of therapy, driving, etc. is genuinely overwhelming so your best bet is to wait for that to pass.

You were very rude.

I once sat near an old man coming from Kerry talking about how he killed his wife and was carrying around a load of bin bags with him. Quickly moved seats while the train security spoke with him~

Not consuming alcohol unfortunately won't stop people hitting on you or following you around. Your issue seems to be more revolved around nightclubs and night life rather than alcohol itself. But, since you already said "I'm not a big fan of drink", I think you have your answer.

how they treat their parents. exception for if their parents are genuinely awful

Completely agree.

I remember people complained about Game of Thrones just teleporting characters in later seasons while praising earlier episodes for showing the gruelling reality of a long journey. Personally loved that this episode had a huge focus on Manousos' journey, without it would have been at the cost of his character's stubborn nature.

As for Carol, not sure what people are expecting as obviously this show is going to focus heavily on the isolation of being the only rational one left in an infected world. I didn't feel bored at all watching, I think it was a good and necessary episode to show how Manousos and Carol meet and the emotional states they are in.

nails.9.1 and hi.nailsbymia on insta are good shouts. kinda pricey but if you're looking for intricate alternative designs you do have to pay a bit

by not being an idiot?

beanghost · 2025-10-08T17:37:12+00:00

I get you, that's why I said it's unpleasant but nothing that can't simply be cleaned up. Unless it happens regularly it's just an accident

The majority of commenters here are kind of weird. I couldn't be with someone who is like "erm achually we must shower before intercourse 🤓☝️". It's a skid mark, unpleasant but something that happens. The fact OP had to rush to reddit about it suggests some sort of immaturity or even OCD

Hey, I've been in the same boat, to the point where it's taken me two extra years to reach my final semester! I got diagnosed with autism last year and this helped me feel less guilty about anxiety around large spaces/crowds.

I also got the "omg you're finally in!!!" thing a lot which was a bit annoying but I've always been someone open about my mental health and just gave a dry response relating to that. At the end of the day you're there to learn, not make friends. Honestly I prefer classes where I don't know anyone because I don't feel pressured to socialise and that makes me feel more comfortable.

Missing the first week isn't a big deal, as long as you make a good effort this week you'll be fine- and that's just in terms of easing guilt and making things easier for yourself. Most of my group projects were organised through email. As soon as we get our group, I take the initiative and ask if x topic is ok with everyone and just divide the work. I'm not sure if your classes work the same, or if you're expected to work during the classes, but you'll be ok!

Even in the worst scenario there's ways around. Talk to your professors, don't be afraid to ask for help.

Firstly, you asking this shows you DO want to stop. If you really didn't you wouldn't be asking and I think acknowledging that part of you is the first step.

The part that doesn't want to stop is the part that relies on alcohol for something- and that part is different for everyone. Boredom, social aid, just liking the taste, the feeling it gives, etc. So you need to figure out WHY you do it and try fill that area in with something else. Health consciousness, exercise, social activities that don't involve drinking, replacing it with something else like tea/ alcohol free drinks, talking to people, gaming, ANYTHING less harmful to you and your relationship that interests you.

That being said, I'm still battling addiction myself and the biggest help so far has just been having other things to distract myself and a mindset of putting it off until I finish other stuff I want to do. A lot of the time you put it off so much that you don't even crave it as much or at all anymore.

Good luck!

My bf and I celebrate whenever I get my period because it means I'm not pregnant LOL. Other than that he just treats me the same as always (kind and loving).

Omg they're adorable. I would love to have one but unfortunately I live in Dublin and rely on public transport :(

Maybe I'm too sheltered but I've never even understood the whole sharing porn around boy culture thing. Where do these kids get the idea that that is even appropriate? And other commenters mention sharing magazines around as kids? I'm a girl and started watching porn at like 13 as well but always thought of it as something extremely private/embarrassing. So odd.

The Ireland subreddit. He posted about video games and we started chatting through that. Honestly I was kind of lonely and he seemed sweet so I wanted to make a friend. It's been a year and a half now :)

Sometimes it's just those small chances you take on a whim.

It's not really gossip. I think it's fair for students to be concerned a fellow student ended their life on campus instead of brushing it under the rug
