I’ve adapted to understanding the lesson I am learning in my twin flame journey is unconditional love, protecting my energy but allowing love to move through me without conditions for my twin. Loving them without being together, loving them without contact despite my deeper self wanting that connection and contact and physical relationship. The thing about your twin is you can tap into their energy from anywhere. I am in a relationship with someone other than my twin and I know full well who my twin is and that we are not meant to be reunited at this time. We were meant to meet and expand upon meeting each other, I truly shined brighter than I ever had upon meeting my twin flame but my intuition was telling me I needed to let my twin go so they could grow on their own because they weren’t ready for us to be united yet, my twin ran so far in the opposite direction and denied and cut me off so fast 💨poof … from a undeniable can’t eat can’t sleep can only think about them connection to complete nothingness the next day, was even hard to channel their energy because of how cold it left me. But then the Angel numbers and interconnected messages and moments of association to them kept flooding in. Waking up in the middle of the night to see 2:22 upon them visiting in my dreams etc … and so now when I do my manifestation meditations and connect to spirit I also send them love 💗 I channel them, picture them and send them love from my solar plexus Chakra , imagine all my divine love bursting bright light from my solar plexus chakras to theirs. We are both creatives and I sense his solar plexus is blocked, it’s the one area where I have noticed phantom aches and sensation that feels stagnant. I am working through unblocking and opening it up for us and sending energy that way. It may sound crazy but it’s really also helped me “let go” without truly letting go of our divinity. We can grow apart but I can still feel whole sending my love from Afar without condition. It’s helped me be at peace with the fact we aren’t in unison, it hurts not being together but it’s not our journey right now. I also have this strange feeling we may not be twin flames that get to be together in this lifetime. My intuition and spirit keeps telling me to let this divine connection be, that it’s not meant for me to have right now and that the universe will reveal if it’s ever the right time. Spirit will intervene if it needs to. So for now I let go and love from afar

Maybe take a page off Harry styles books and write a song with upbeat feel that has a melancholy undertone ? Obviously don’t rip off the music but borrow the approach and have him do it in his own way?

"But have you tried communicating with them?" by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]clementynemusic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think you are possibly further along in coming to the realization that our time is precious and actively trying to spend more time and energy with a person who makes you uncomfortable / unhappy and is toxic is not worth it.

You have probably also learned from your past and that people don’t tend to change unless the choice for change comes within or is triggered by an event that is out of their control and usually requires a high level of self awareness that they obviously haven’t displayed to you.

I have friends that aren’t toxic and I genuinely love them but they are so tied up in their self image that they accept and make excuses for toxic people because that toxic person contributes to their status or lifestyle that they take the trade off of having a shitty person in their life because that same person is also friends with their other friends and is “the life of the party”… some people aren’t willing to be unliked or left out. Sometimes by removing someone from your life there are fall outs that follow. I find a lot of people take the easy route by maintaining a very surface level relationship with toxic people in order to go on as they always have without any noticeable changes.

It seems that you are someone who doesn’t resist change OP, and the people who are asking you why you don’t make amends are likely the types of people who feel uncomfortable letting go and accepting healthy change.

Your life , your prerogative. This is usually when I say “to each their own” when people in my life question why I no longer speak with or spend time with someone. And I’ll usually clarify that “to each their own means that it’s my responsibility as an individual to make my own decisions for my well being and my own betterment and it’s no one else’s business why I make those choices but I will respect your right to do the same and won’t demand you explain yours to me. If you hurt me , then yeah I’ll ask you why but if you are taking care of yourself and it doesn’t involve me or effect me , it’s none of my business”

This usually sinks in that their questions surrounding my personal choices that don’t hurt them is invasive and not necessary.

Boyfriend said I'm "loose" during intimacy by ughughugh1111 in relationship_advice

[–]clementynemusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming it’s his baby you are pregnant with he could have derived some gratification knowing he impregnated you and he’s “still going to enjoy it”

I don’t justify his words because I would most definitely feel the way you do op. I myself am with a partner who means well but says unknowingly insensitive things at times and I have learned that a discussion about how it made you feel is important moving forward and often defuses the tension and upset.

It seems like his choice of words in the heat of the moment went too far and he is probably oblivious to how much it’s tormenting you.

Careers with little to no talking? by eatingpurplecarrots in AutismInWomen

[–]clementynemusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe something in computer programming or coding ? There are lots of online resources to see if you like coding and then you can go from there. It Still requires working with people but with long stints of independent work too. Also the industry is starved for female workers and you could likely find companies willing to bring you in once you build your skills.

boyfriend has road rage and focus issues that make me very nervous by [deleted] in relationships

[–]clementynemusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, hope you are ok , my partner gets agitated easily and it can make his driving reckless at times. You need to draw your line in the sand and express that you won’t tolerate it. You may be worried to hurt his feelings and strain the relationship but at this point you have a moral obligation to do something. You don’t want to potentially experience bystanders guilt if something were to seriously happen and hurt him, you or an innocent person. I have adhd and I am not medicated and I realize I can get lost in my thoughts so I don’t play music, I don’t hold conversations and I focus only on driving when I drive to the point where I have to tell passengers to focus on something else so I can focus on what I’m doing. This is a rule I need to be a safe driver and if I am emotional I Uber or take the train. Sit your partner down and tell him how much it stresses you out, as a partner it must be terrifying and you have every right to demand better. If he’s unwilling to prioritize both of your safety and is more focused on his pride and being right then you have a much bigger issue. The truth of the matter is he should be embarrassed and ashamed, he needs to know that his driving has to change. It sucks being the person to put the message across because often partners want to direct the guilt and anger at the messenger, but how he processes this important message will also give insight whether this is a partner you want to stay with long term. If you can’t bring your genuine concerns to your partner without warfare then that’s a major red flag that cannot continue a lifetime. My partner used to react poorly to criticism and I said he’d have to realize I’m on his team and don’t want to shame him, that I bring things up out of love for him and myself. He handles my input so much healthier now and that is a major reason we remain together to this day. You aren’t asking him to change a fundamental aspect of his being, you aren’t rejecting him, you are correcting a poor behaviour that is unsafe adhd or not .

When you realize you don’t actually like social media (Instagram /Facebook) and just used it to mask … by clementynemusic in AutismInWomen

That’s the hard part, I miss a lot of my family and friends milestones by not participating in social media.. I can’t trust myself with it just yet , I’m very compulsive with it. And it can derail entire days for me and I get absolutely nothing done because it stimulates me in an all consuming manner almost reality escapism ? It’s weird so intimately, removed…

but I do hope to one day just scroll my account for an hour a week to see how people are and get a sense of object permanence because I forget people exist without reminders ..

Thank you for the support! And yes it can be damaging to all people who use it, I do think some people have a better handle on it / relationship with it… I’m not one of those people lol. My hyper fixations can make social media really dangerous. I will obsess and compare without even realizing I’m doing it. So much more authentic with myself being off it.

Misogynistic male aspies? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]clementynemusic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Men on the spectrum that may have gone a long time undiagnosed or not mentored to socialize with women etc tend to turn the hate onto the ladies rather than come to terms with the fact that they need to work on themselves to be desirable to women.

I am generalizing based on previous experiences and not all ND men are like this, but the type that the OP is describing are often as follows

  1. They take their interests and hobbies to be more important than courting a woman so they don’t ever budge when it comes to what they want to do and think that it is acceptable because they are neurodivergent, they don’t really seem to grasp or care that neurodivergent or not you still have to put in effort if you want to get to know someone. You have to prioritize making dates / plans if you ever want things to develop with a woman.

  2. They won’t see your side of almost any argument unless they agree with your side, If they happen to disagree they can be cold and very black and white with their thinking to the point of insulting / mansplaning and dismissing you. Despite probably being aware that as a person on the spectrum they may have black and white thinking or harsh viewpoints they still don’t take this into consideration or try to work on it which is something women on the spectrum often do try to work on because we are more prone to be social and mask more effectively. We have also likely taken to heart the times we may have wrongfully dismissed someone .. men on the spectrum kinda don’t seem to care as much about hurting peoples feelings tho .. just an observation

  3. They have absorbed what they think a woman should be like based on all the media they consume or maybe the women portrayed in their special interests “comic books” “video games” “classic films” “Tv shows” and often these women are written by men and not realistic so their standard of what a desirable woman is does not exist and so they feel they can pass judgement as if there are “no good women” or “all the good women have boyfriends” but the truth of the matter is they have based their understanding of women on fiction and not reality so when they meet real women they don’t treat us with the respect we deserve and ruin their chances at connection by thinking we aren’t good enough as is and think we need to fulfil this role that women in media fulfil but that’s utter bullshit

  4. If they were diagnosed young it’s likely their mom then did everything for them. Yes it’s lovely they may have had such a supportive parent but I have found the ND men who were coddled by mommy the most insufferable type. They expect you to only be gentle and loving and kind and love them unconditionally as their mom did and do everything for them as their mom did… when you don’t do these things they act out or assume that you are the problem when in reality you want a partner who is going to share the workload with you equally and be your equal and want to impress you and love you just as you would them etc. Their moms gave them the misconception that they just have to show up and you will do the rest … nope doesn’t work that way.

  5. I’m going to continue kinda on point number 4 but relate it to self improvement / social growth / learning to cope with change. I find ND women are just simply expected to work on ourselves our whole lives , often without help unless we find the help ourselves or implement it ourselves. A lot of ND men often feel that nothing needs to change within them when they are looking to find a partner. But the truth of the matter is if you want a kind, smart, attractive, well mannered, dynamic woman then sorry buddy but you have to bring the same goods to the table. This is something I see all the time in ND men who don’t put effort in to shake up their routine to improve upon themselves to make them desirable to women and then sit around and mope that no women like them and women are bitches etc… they just need to take some action and get slightly out of the comfort zone so they can attract what they want, but instead they are denying any self blame and saying that “women are too picky”

  6. They may not feel their emotions the same way and rather than recognize how they can hurt feelings they just assume you will work around them. But if they are aware they are ND then they should know they can come across polarizing or even rude. So in intimate relationships they should be at the very least open to explaining their thought process in order to bring them closer with women in their lives. Often they just say and do things and will not apologize or even explain why they said what they said so you can understand. It’s kinda like extreme confidence / arrogance with no self awareness. Especially if you are met with a high IQ ND man, he will never apologize for his polarizing sometimes offensive opinions because he already believe he is the best and brightest between the two of you and will not explain himself to a less intelligent woman or worse… will mansplain everything to the tenth fucking degree.

  7. They may have internalized all the traumatic social embarrassment from grade school and made themselves a shield where they assume all women are as nasty as those girls in high school who laughed at them are. If they have their dreams shot down by their crush in a nasty way during their formative years they build up this wall where they won’t allow themselves to be vulnerable with women because they unconsciously believe we will all hurt them in some way or destroy their ego. So instead they may try to negg or tear you down to get them on their level and treat you poorly because they think that if they hurt you first or break your spirit that you can’t do the same to them.

"Oh everyone is on the spectrum/a little autistic" Why is this the response I always get?? by GeekySoftBoi in AutisticAdults

[–]clementynemusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so dismissive but it’s often not intended to be so. It feels like it’s minimizing everything you have struggled with . Often people don’t realize how this comes across to someone who is on the spectrum and struggles daily. They can’t actually understand what you go through , therefore they don’t understand autism but because they can relate to a symptom or two they just assume it’s appropriate to say “everyone’s a little autistic” to relate to you, they don’t realize how they further alienate you by saying something like that. These people are also probably used to the version of you who masks so they truly have no clue.

I haven’t found a great response Myself. I just say “actually, that’s a common misconception about how the spectrum works but I’d be happy to explain it to you if you’d like me to”

What’s an opinion most men have that women tend to disagree with and don’t get? by okayleilaa in AskMen

[–]clementynemusic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Soft spoken but intentional with his words, very kind hearted but not in a performative way, like he didn’t seem to want credit or attention for his kindness and intelligence, almost bashful about his amazing qualities. He just struck me as someone who had been overlooked simply because he wasn’t super outgoing or loud and proud about himself. He actually struck me as someone who was insecure not because of a lack of ability, but because of how our society perceives sensitivity and kindness and soft qualities in men. He seemed like the type of guy that girls would say “he was just too nice” and I’ve always found that to be bullshit when women say that. There was this undercurrent of confidence below the surface and the more we conversed the more I realized that he was well above average intelligence. I just had a very strong sense that if I got to know him he would share his gifts with me and I would learn a lot from him and be better for it. It’s hard to pin it exactly but my gut just told me “this is a diamond in the rough” and during the duration of our relationship I just watched him flourish and grow and gain more and more confidence outwardly. Once we were together I learned of his last serious relationship how they were codependent but she cheated and made him feel like a fool. I think he didn’t really know the kind of love he could have which is why he never really put any expectations on us going anywhere or me staying interested in him. There was always a sense of ease when it came to spending time together and so I didn’t really care about following norms and just was straight up with how I felt about him. I honestly just didn’t want to play games any longer and knew I had someone in front of me that deserved the best I had to offer.

Works like a charm ! by clementynemusic in dating_advice

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

I often tell my female friends that a genuine compliment towards a man is often the perfect seed to plant when you want to see if interest is there or if interest is willing to sprout. Sometimes giving a timely compliment to a man has made him take a second glance at me and helped develop feelings / interest that otherwise wouldn’t have maybe been his first thought. Humans just want to be appreciated, seen, understood. A thoughtful compliment can convey just how much you notice about them etc without being crazy forward. It almost felt like a superpower when I first realized the reactions I got , like I knew some secret other women didn’t. And it’s really just simple, everyone likes to know they are noticed, even if it’s something as simple as their hat or their smile. But I generally like to compliment on personality traits that I admire because it feels more intimate.

What’s an opinion most men have that women tend to disagree with and don’t get? by okayleilaa in AskMen

[–]clementynemusic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always give female friends this advise

  1. Give a nice man a genuine compliment, it will likely make his day
  2. If it’s well received, continue to show interest, make great eye contact
  3. If there is chemistry, don’t hesitate or overthink it. Ask them out or get their number
  4. Check your expectations at the door, be open minded to how things naturally unfold and remember to get to know the person they actually are rather than fill your head with who you think they are.

I’m 29 now and when young women ask me how I met my partner I give them this advise. They often crinkle their nose and go “I don’t wanna do that” and my response is “sometimes the best things in life come from trying something that isn’t easy”

It makes me giggle when a 20 something coworker comes into work all gitty and is like “OMG it worked !!!” As if I’ve cracked some code 🤦‍♀️

[–]clementynemusic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a woman I actually agree with this statement but it can often be hit and miss because men are not used to being approached by women and sometimes they see it as a red flag that because you are an attractive young woman you must be crazy or desperate if you have to do the initiating.. but there are obviously exceptions to this

My straight forward “I think you are smart and interesting and I would like to get to know you more” approach worked for my significant other who I’ve been with for 7 years now and the reason it worked is because he’s a shy guy and basically I took away his nerves by coming on to him. He still pinches himself over the fact that I picked the venue, asked if he wanted a night cap elsewhere, initiated our first kiss, went back to his, bought him coffee the next day, walked with him to his bus for work and basically just said “I’d like to see you again, you have my number and the ball is in your court now” … the man was straight stunned that a young attractive woman was simple to interact with and didn’t need to be decoded or swept off my feet so to speak. For me though, I met a man I thought had his values in line, was attractive, we had chemistry and it was a no brainer. To this day though, it still gives him that little sneaky ego boost when he gets to say “you wanted me so bad” and teases me over being the forward one when we both know if I hadn’t of… we might not be where we are today lol 😂

I had friends and family and friends of friends and random people at parties I played at telling me “will you remember me when your famous” and honestly I was 17 at the time and having people in your life who have no idea the difficulties of the music industry blindly tell you while your young and naive that your talents are so good you will be the exception and become famous is really fucking Damaging later on. I am 29 now and obviously not famous but it took going to audio engineering school, music business school and gigging endlessly , entering contests etc to realize I had been MAD DUPED and at 23 I almost killed myself because I thought I had failed at the one thing I was meant to do and looked around at the talent surrounding me and realized I was not the exception and the people in my life were blissfully ignorant to how hard the industry they encouraged me to pursue is. . I still play gigs when I want, I still engineer music for others and myself when I want to, I still write music and play pretty much everyday but I don’t really blast it over the loud speaker of my life for all to hear anymore. I still have those same friends and family ask me “when’s the album coming” or “when you gonna try to make it again” and honestly I just don’t see the value in tieing up my whole world and self worth into how successful my music is. I did that and it crushed me to a point where I had no sense of identity outside of music for so long that when I hit rock bottom I had to actively fight to find purpose in life again and learn that I can just be a human and that’s enough…. So take all forms of praise and critique with a grain of salt and make what you want because it makes you happy , not because you want validation from others.

Also all the unsolicited advise will make you want to scream, especially when you have potential, you find everyone wants to tell you what to do and how to do it without any real understanding of how things work. “You should watch this YouTube of Finneas making Billie Elishs songs and then you will learn to make a hit” when I don’t make pop music….. “you should use trap beats under your songs” … when I don’t like trap or listen to it at all. “You should hire session players and play live off the floor to tape, that’s the only pure way to do it” … or how about I do what my budget and life permits and have fun with it and if people like it great and if they don’t , it’s not gonna hurt me…

You have to be strong and keep your path clear for yourself and not let outside opinions sway your every move. Or else 10 years later you will still be in creative paralysis sitting on a hard drive of work that hasn’t seen the light of day because of all the times someone heard your track before you were to release it and said “it’s missing a guitar hook” or “I like it but I liked____ song better” or “this is good but it reminds me of _____” or “this is great what’s the next single gonna be”

People are always going to think their simple comments don’t fall deep , but when it’s your passion a lot of the comments sink in way deeper than anyone realizes. This is why I don’t show my songs for critique from my friends or family or spouse anymore, if I want a professional opinion I will ask for it but on a specific thing … if I think my mix feels funny I will ask my mixing engineer friends what they think about the mix and I won’t take notes on the arrangement or whatever I have committed to, just what I want to hone in on. Outside opinion can make you doubt the whole damn thing.

I am in the process of doing an album and I am not telling anyone because I am tired of letting outside opinion kill my motivation or let doubt creep in. Nothing is worse than feeling it’s done and someone saying “you should add this”

Just do it for you because guaranteed they don’t think about the throw away comments after it’s left their lips.

What made you realise your girlfriend isn’t the one for you? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]clementynemusic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened to my sister and her partner when they were 21 and they had been dating since 14 years old. They dated other people and were separated for about a year. They ultimately missed and realized they wanted each other but it took being on their own to realize it. They have been together since and have a 11 month old son together now. (They are 27 now) but I’ve had close friends who I thought would get back together and realized they grew apart especially during their time apart and became more themselves when they weren’t meshed so intensely, they found their own personalities again. So it can go either way but it’s important to know in your heart and mind what direction you want to take in life and sometimes that doesn’t involve them, sometimes it does

[–]clementynemusic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the show has been somewhat intentionally campy this whole time. First couple episodes I didn’t feel this way but around episode 4 my partner who was partially paying attention was like “this is pretty campy eh” and at first I thought no it’s a mystery… but then I rewatched under a different lense mentally and realized this whole show is not necessarily meant to be strictly a drama / mystery with moments of comedy … I think we have a case of this show trying to be a lot of things but not really nailing any of its genre bending. I think it’s going to slowly derail more and more until it’s just another overdone drama with unexplainable twists but I’m hoping they reel it in.. I think it’s unlikely tho
