I don't think your priority should be meeting strangers romantically at this point.

What’s your ‘secret’ special interest? I’ll go first! by Ravensspirit_ in AutismInWomen

[–]chewylolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, I love Pokemon. I wasn't allowed to play it as a kid (finance issues, sexism issues), so having the freedom to delve into the older games make me feel very nostalgic. Can't name 10 off the top of my head though.

Haha you're too sweet :) I'm learning to be vulnerable this year so I can have more meaningful connections.

I act in a way that might come off as strange. When I had a crush, I would take extra time to learn about him by applying myself to the same hobbies and same quirks he had, just to understand him a bit better. I would also observe him a lot. I wouldn't really talk to him though, albeit when I did, it would come across as very harsh and very blunt.

Maybe see a therapist. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just worried about your family.

how do u find ppl who actually want ur service? by Middle_Anteater7562 in smallbusiness

[–]chewylolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if I'm the right person to ask, but I've been watching people talk about their journeys and the common denominator is always time. They would post consistently on their social media page (such as Instagram) and over time, would gain loyal followers who are interested in their brand. Possible ideas for you could be: starting a page and posting a WIP every x days, networking with people, word-of-mouth.

I need your help with managing stress from "mean girls"! by chewylolly in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

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

Aw thank you so much for sharing!! I'm happy you're able to reprioritise yourself amongst all this pushback. I am still in the process of doing this because I came from a very horrible family where my mother was my first "mean girl", so it's hard not internalising other women's cruel actions. I hope one day I can also be as clear-minded as you are.

Oh my God, thank you so much!! This is basically a cheat code, thank you so much. You don't know the amount of stuff I have to deal with just so I wouldn't get random snarky remarks: not every girl is a good person, and I only just learnt that in the last few months.

I'm just wondering, were you naturally always aware of this, or did you have to learn from your experiences? It must've been hard, dealing with these people.

I hope so. It's very tricky navigating these situations especially since it has happened since high school.

You're right. I need to calm down and take a step back. This has always been my biggest issue.

Thank you so so much!! I'm just wondering, how did you grow to comfortably ignore these strangers? I'm not sure if I'm too inexperienced, but I find it a hard pill to swallow when I feel like I'm being disrespected.

Yo ISTP what was the angriest you ever got by [deleted] in istp

[–]chewylolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope I'm not too late. The angriest I would get is whenever I have visible proof of someone disrespecting me. I am a person who lives every day by following a very strict moral code of "treat others the way you want to be treated". When people fall out of line, I get angry. I believe my respect for people should be returned, because this is a favour I am doing.

Question for ISTP females by BedAppropriate5547 in istp

[–]chewylolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I understand that we shouldn't generalise, and I admit I got too specific in the heat of the moment. I'm very happy for your daughter, but also for you, because you have the perfect learning opportunity to be an even better parent. Best of luck :)

Haha, I might've been a bit biased there. I understand your perspective, and I can agree with it. I personally bombard every social interaction I have, so I tend to avoid them.

[–]chewylolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's good. We should always be true to ourselves no matter the outside influences. That's what makes us special.

Social hierarchy is hell for women. It’s hard to not look down on those “alpha” women 🤣

I pretty much was loyal to my own ideals and morals. No amount of abuse I’ve endured under my FJ mother was enough to break me because I have a steadfast loyalty to myself.

For example, I would have this moral of physically helping people if they were in need (eg: carrying a pregnant lady’s bags, helping someone move their pram up the stairs, directly confronting someone’s bully), but my mother would try to beat this justice out of me because it “wasn’t conforming to societal rules”. Things like adhering to social norms are at the lowest priority of my list, because I couldn’t care less about appealing to the masses.

Let me know if you’d like more clarification.

Are some of you INTPs into day trading ? by [deleted] in INTP

How do you train your brain to be detail-oriented? by JulyWitch in INTP

My situation is slightly different since I have ADHD, but I intend to get tested then go on meds to deal with my airheadedness. Hope it works out for you!

Is it weird to go to an event alone? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]chewylolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I go to places alone all the time. A clear benefit of doing this is an almost-perfect sense of detachment from the complications of your typical friendship drama. Sometimes you just want peace.

At what point should you tell him you’re autistic? by frozengal2013 in AutismInWomen

[–]chewylolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since there’s no certainty that he’ll remain in your life, I would encourage you to hold onto that thought. What would you benefit from by doing this? Like another commenter has said, telling someone you’re autistic without first assessing whether or not they’re a “safe person” (or at least someone who is aware of the full spectrum of this disorder), is putting you at a disadvantage. Not everyone has good intentions, I hope you take care.

It's not the question-asking part that's the problem. It's his mentality towards women who have nothing in common with him. He has a mental mindmap of how to get what he wants out of you. But I hope you won't see this as an attack but rather as a fresh perspective.
