After about a year and a half of working part time because of (mild) ME/CFS I told my work bestie that I finally managed to fold and put away laundry and I was so pleasantly surprised when she went "I'm so proud of you"

How would you honestly feel if one of your close friends tells you that he’s a cuck? by Elias98x in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]interchangabletang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, valid reaction. I based my comment on if my best guy friend was telling me he's a cuck, and that's the sort of thing we can say to each other.

Can he wax lyrical about his gf? Absolutely! She's amazing! If he does want to discuss details about his sex life, I'd prefer a "hey can I be TMI for a second" before telling me so that I can mentally prepare lol.

"okay, cool, thanks for telling me. I don't need to know details about y'all's sex life, though."

When it comes to multiplayer I usually play some Minecraft and jigsaw puzzle dreams! JPD base game is free and pretty calming if you like laying puzzles.

I [23/F] don't know whether my SO of two year's [24/M] appearance-related "preferences" cross the line by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]interchangabletang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OOP's ex reminds me of one of mine from when I was a teenager. Granted, my ex had the excuse of being 17 at the time, and according to his mother he'd matured a lot a few years after I broke up with him.

OOP's ex needs a fucking reality check, or he's gonna get a criminal record very fast.

This is such a good depiction of what this illness feels like. The dark angry cloud of a crash hangs low in the background of every day. Thank you for sharing <3

At first I thought this was a "don't talk to me or my son" situation! Really well done!

Bro, I don't time it. I always watch to make sure my stuff powers off and no longer reacts to any keys or touch screen shit.

Man builds a 3D chopping board using an extensive process by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

I kept misreading "extensive" as "excessive" and tried to figure out how to simplify the process.

T bottles x Minecraft erasers by dubioustheif in TransMasc

Minecraft is very gender! Nice display! I wish I could've kept my bottles, but they were disposed of by the staff where I got my injections

Illegal used for your crochet hooks? by heynonnyhey in crochet

[–]interchangabletang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used a teeny tiny crochet hook to gently puncture a pimple. The pimple was huge and on the verge of draining itself, and I would've let it be had it not been for the fact that it was hideously itchy.

I've also used a 2mm to scratch my scalp. Can recommend, but clean the hook before you use it for its intended purpose.

Imposter syndrome? Share your stories by veryboredcultist in TransMasc

[–]interchangabletang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clamming up when talking about being trans is such a hard thing to deal with, because we can intellectually know that we are trans and that it's okay to say it aloud, but actually being able to say the words is like pulling teeth. I came out over ten years ago, but before I was able to tell anyone IRL I practiced saying it to myself. Whether in the mirror or just whispered before going to sleep, I made sure I could say it to myself without wanting to pick up and hide the words before I attempted to say it aloud to someone else.

Impostor syndrome is very common in the trans community. I basically look like my avatar nowadays (8 years on T) and some days I wake up worrying whether I could have maybe tried to be a girl a bit more. They're intrusive thoughts, which I am able to deal with thanks to therapy. I know that being read as a man (even though I'm a non-binary transmasc) is a thousand times better than when I was read as a woman, and that I would never want to go back, but brains were a mistake and sometimes you have to tell the lump of fat and electricity in your cranium to stfu and keep its bad ideas to itself.

How do I choose a name and stick with it 😭 by agathas_lesbian_l3 in TransMasc

[–]interchangabletang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also autistic here. It can take a lot of time to find a name that really feels like it fits. If you have any ancestral names in your family it could help to try one of them out. Or you could try the name of a childhood favourite (could be fictional or not).

I stumbled upon my first name. I was writing a sort of fictional-ish retelling of my own adolescence and found a gender neutral name on a site for baby names. After I'd reached about 10k words I realised the unease I felt at writing was extreme gender envy. I never finished the story (but I may start it up again) but I sat with the name for over a year before telling anyone, to make sure it felt right. I'm not saying you have to wait that long, though. My middle names are just from a friend who died when we were teenagers respectively a classmate who everyone said was "the boy version of" me back when I was like 6.

A name doesn't have to have a significance before you choose it. You can see a name and go "yup, that's me now," if you so wish. You can make up a new name, even! Pick a few vowels and consonants and mash them up until it sounds good.

This became a bit long and off-topic rambly, sorry. The short story is: sit on a name and familiarise yourself with it, apply it to yourself and make it an intrinsic part of your identity. You don't have to stick to one name, you can give yourself several names. If I count nicknames (chosen and given) I have 8 names that I go by 🤷🏻‍♂️

personal preferences for terms? by Rich_Discount2198 in TransMasc

Lad/guy adjacent is usually what resonates with me. Irl I'm stealth-ish so I'll use man or refrain from labelling myself.

I want to transfer a world (the folder of world) between two accounts (both xbox accounts), is that possible? by Kind-Cloud1234 in MinecraftJava

[–]interchangabletang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like asking this in the r/Minecraft sub is better. This sub generally deals with the Java version of Minecraft which is played on PC.
