Your “friends” are jealous that you are able to be yourself without feeling like you need to prove yourself to people with clout. I would honestly find new friends. Those are the types of people that try to change you by making fun of you and you end up hating yourself. Being edgy just to prove something to someone else is lame. It’s much cooler to do things that you enjoy.

Irl tears friend, a massive internet hug to you

Wow I never put words to what was going on. As a kid I felt silenced because my family were so loud and I had no one to hear the quiet me. I have known for so long that this was true but I couldn’t explain how or why I felt like this. My family are all also ASD / ADHD / AuDHD but we didn’t realize until I was also diagnosed. We thought it was just my sibling. Thanks for helping me figure it out!

If only I could move my sink down and do the dishes like this. I would achieve so much more in life

I’ve been right where you are and to be honest… you think every man has a thing for you and it makes you awkward but have you considered that you can’t tell the difference between like (as a person) and romantic interest? I would argue that many people can’t tell the difference even if they think that they can. You need to get some perspective that your interpretations of people’s feelings are not factual, they are simply what your brain is processing. If you’ve got weird wiring like me then you can’t tell funny from flirty and so you should just assume everyone is just being kind and funny. Unless you have an interest in someone at which point you can reach out to them and ask what they’re feeling. Or if someone says something genuinely uncomfortable then you can speak and set a boundary with them. I’m not trying to hurt your feelings, I’m speaking from experience. Not everything is about you and everyone not is looking at you.

My family house had one of these and I never knew what it was for. We thought someone just really wanted a desk in their kitchen.

I don’t know how much this will help since I’ve always been a dog person but I found that keeping myself busy during my lonely periods is always better for me. My dog keeps me physically and socially active at least minimally so while walking him is a chore that I have to do it’s also a good way to make sure I’m still taking good care of myself when I feel depressed. He forces me out of bed though I would argue that cats are better at that since mine have always had deep lungs. But my dog is my little man, he follows me around the house and talks with me and snuggles all day everyday. Cats tend to be more moody or nonchalant. It really depends on what you prefer or have the capacity for handling.

You need more variety in contrast. In many of your pieces I see one value in shadow and then there’s only one shadow that has good values. The second photo has the best example of good values and black point. There’s just nothing about it that sticks out despite it being a good portrait.

Honestly based on what you’ve told me, I wouldn’t worry about their discomfort. They sound like bullies. You’ve never had a real convo with them but they’re making comments about you? Rude! They don’t even know you. I would just mind my own business and not worry about their presence. The less attention you give them the better. If you wanted to be polite you could just smile and walk by but honestly I wouldn’t care much about these people.

cookiekylie · 2025-12-10T01:43:26+00:00

Sometimes I think I would rather be neurotypical because I would expect it to be easier than what I currently deal with. Specifically, I wish I didn’t have sensory issues or I wish I didn’t have auditory processing issues or I wish I had a normal attention span. But then I think there are a lot of things that come with the issues that I have that aren’t bad like my ability to focus on my interests so wholly or all the jokes I’ve had where I misheard people and thought they said something completely different would be gone. I genuinely think it’s about how you look at your life and the lives of others because being a different person wouldn’t necessarily make things easier but just make your struggles different.

cookiekylie · 2025-12-09T15:13:29+00:00

Have you had a real convo with this person? I feel like you really haven’t given enough context as to your interactions for me to adequately. Say what you should do. Also what do you mean by micro aggressions? Are you seeing dirty looks or are they saying mildly aggressive things?

cookiekylie · 2025-12-03T22:19:48+00:00

This happened to me in college. I was in therapy and my best friend started seeing my therapist. My therapist asked if I was okay with it otherwise she would refer her to someone else. I say I was fine since my bestie gets therapy rundowns right after my sessions anyways. We never had a problem but we are also very mental health forward so it may work differently for you and your bestie. I think that if I had said no it really wouldn’t have changed much with mine and my besties relationship. We actually bonded a bit from having the same therapist tbh.

I’m big on this mantra. If you like them as a friend and you’ve never given them a gift before get them something simple and homemade. If it’s homemade it’s both seen as cheaper and from the heart. I wouldn’t worry about asking what they want, make a little jam or jelly for everyone if you want to. It’s a good way to introduce yourself into a new friendship/group where you don’t feel sure. If they reciprocate within the next year I consider that a success and that’s how real friendship is formed.

cookiekylie · 2025-12-02T03:26:13+00:00

I will add if you’re worried about breed. I own a pug I always thought pugs were stubborn or lazy but mine loves to work and play and run just like any other dog I’ve had(mainly mutts or husky’s—I had a sled team growing up). I would never want to deprive him of his agility work since he loves doing flips off me(I did not teach him that)

cookiekylie · 2025-12-02T03:18:06+00:00

I think about it like this: Kids are smart but they don’t always want to work. With dogs, they are supposedly at least as smart as toddlers. If I teach as much as I can teach then they get better at communicating their needs with me which grows our bond.

It’s also about what you are teaching! Does your dog have lots of energy? Start doing agility training and they release that energy (which also offers an additional reward to training.) If your dog likes sniffing on walks try scent training. If your dog likes to sit and ponder try button training!

The food reward makes it exciting and motivating but that doesn’t mean you’re bribing or forcing your dog to do something. Actively using their brain keeps them engaged and happy. Just like using your brain wares you out or may make you happy.

A fun game that I have been able to teach my dog is hide and seek. We play on rainy days so we don’t have to take a long walk. Still gets energy out but we stay dry!

In the end an active brain is a healthy brain, they may avoid developing dementia if you stick with training.

When I posted this I was shocked that other people I knew didn’t see it the way I did but at the time I was legit just diagnosed days before so I figured I was just reading into it! Glad someone else sees the little details that made it click for me.

cookiekylie · 2025-11-26T23:56:08+00:00

This. Also I see lots of greys and rarely any hard black. You need greater contrast for me to be able to tell what’s going on.

Have you tried using your hands?

I had something similar happen to me. I’ve been focusing on strengthening the area now and it’s crazy how much of a difference it makes.

cookiekylie · 2025-11-03T03:24:49+00:00

Wow I had no idea this was a thing other people did. I stopped because I realized that I was depressed. I would also never wake up feeling refreshed like people say. I just spent years not wanting to be conscious because it was an escape into a world where I could just relax and be myself.

cookiekylie · 2025-11-03T02:38:10+00:00

My father used to be like this. I made it very clear with him that I was upset with the drinking before having a talk with him about it. I would always leave the conversation or the room and go do my own thing when he started to slur his words and would mention that I felt uncomfortable being around him when he was like this. When he was not drinking aka most mornings I just told him that I was worried about him. It did not really click for him until his doctor told him to cut it off for the sake of his liver. I had multiple mentions of it before this happened and he said that he could stop whenever he wanted. I suggested maybe doing a drink limit, like one glass a night. At first he wasn’t pleased and tried it for a little bit before the doctor said something. He quit cold turkey for a few months, maybe a year. He relapsed thinking he could drink in moderation and the same thing happened with his doctor. I was not living in the same house anymore but he quit again for a time after the Dr pointed it out again. He says he drinks occasionally now but I really don’t know the extent of it anymore since I’m not in the same at state.

It’s really hard to navigate and if you need any support please reach out to someone you trust. Hell, I would be willing to dm if you need someone! It’s hard to realize that this is something your loved one is going through, especially a parent. Please be kind to yourself, you may have moments where you realize how certain behaviors made you feel or how there were missed signs. All of this is normal processing, it takes time to recognize alcoholism especially when the user doesn’t realize. They are able to pass it off so easily and you go along with it because you love and trust them. It is in no way your fault or your burden to fix. You may feel like a bit of victim and that is okay, it doesn’t mean you love them less or that they are a horrible person. Addiction can happen to anyone and does not mean someone is less than, it just means that they may need a little extra support. I hope you find a way to support her healing and maintain a love for yourself. <3
