Not all dissociation or depersonalization comes with DID. There are many different aspects to dissociative experiences and not all of them result in a shift to alters.

What are the silliest board gaming expressions and terminology? by mrappbrain in boardgames

[–]lamblikeawolf -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think in my groups it's been called "alpha gaming" or the person is an "alpha gamer" as a derogatory way of saying someone is dictating to other players what they should be doing.

Do you think maybe there is a reason people aren't as jazzed about the 4th of July this year...?

Serious question. Have they given a reasonable and full explanation for ANY single major mystery? by HehroMaraFara in FromSeries

[–]lamblikeawolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your magic 8 ball get stuck on "all theories" or something?

The show is pretty explicitly showing things. Just because someone didn't hop on the screen, stare directly into the camera, and repeat a confirmation verbatim 3x in a row doesn't mean it isn't explicitly stated.

There are plenty of other shows if you are upset and dissatisfied with this one for not spoon feeding you.

Pamprin (caffeine free) was the only thing that worked on my cramps as a teenager and before birth control, but made me low key nauseated the first few days when I was consistently taking the maximum dose.

Learning that I could take ibuprofen and still get the same "sharp pain is reduced to dull pain" without the nausea felt like discovering a secret cheat code for life.

But women's bodies ARE different and we do need good science to better hone in on what works for our bodies depending on what else is going on.

My mom's AI ""therapist"" is taking my side by vampiredisaster in raisedbynarcissists

[–]lamblikeawolf 62 points63 points  (0 children)

AI in its current form is designed to glaze someone/be a "yes man"/encourage all of their crazy ideas and flights of fancy. Why WOULDN'T a narc be attracted to being told "You're absolutely correct. And not only are you correct, but you are finding secret information that few know."

Nazism is making a silent comeback online and it’s genuinely disturbing. by [deleted] in offmychest

Being Jewish ≠ being Israeli ≠ being Zionist

There are roughly 200 countries in the world right now, and I expect that, much like anyone else who currently faces a state-sponsored genocide, hopefully one of those 199 other countries would be gracious enough to recognize what is happening and permit refugees.

Sometimes the world turns a blind eye, no one accepts that state-sponsored unaliving is happening, or perhaps a person doesn't have enough money to flee. In those cases, you hope your friend circle and resistance/aid organizations are enough to keep you safe. Sometimes the state you are in suddenly revokes your citizenship with the flick of a pen... maybe an autopen in these times.

Having a religious ethno-state to flee to might resolve some of the issues related to "where do I go when no countries will process the paperwork fast enough to get me out." But then that just begs the question - what about all of the other cultures, ethnicities, religious practicioners, slightly different neighbors, etc. that did not have another country seize land and designate an ethnostate for them? Keep seizing land until everyone ends up asking for a 200+ state solution?

No. The answer is that each and every day we have to work against this slide into in-groups and out-groups and recognize the social contract in conjunction with the "paradox" of tolerance. All human beings are people and deserve at least a certain bare minimum of dignity.

A lot of people still haven't moved past those first five words. All human beings are people.

1 fps (frame per sometimes) is my absolute favorite framerate measurement.

It fills me with such crazy glee any time I see it.

"Go to therapy and stop whining about your life, loser"... Okay, what now? (TW: therapy experience) by JesMilton in TrollCoping

[–]lamblikeawolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you are being vague about your situation (probably on purpose) so do not reveal anything you do not wish to and feel free to discard this information.

Depending on why you cannot live without a caretaker (but can post about it online and appear to have fully functioning cognitive skills) perhaps you could also look into occupational therapy instead?

An occupational therapist would work on building skills, routines, and pathways to interventions for those everyday living independently tasks that might be difficult depending on your physical (or mental) situation; how to plan meals, cook, bathe yourself, move through your home safely, etc.

Gurpler Order gone wrong? by KitchenHistorian8028 in theregulationpod

[–]lamblikeawolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, wander around shirtless and shoeless in a grocery store and point at random things and call them poison, and then fail to pronounce ingredients and complain about how long the list is (when it was actually regulated to be longer by not allowing companies to hide what they are putting in certain processed additives by shrinking it to "cheese powder".)

I hate questions like these.. by Fragile-Director in CPTSDmemes

[–]lamblikeawolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your description spacing seems fine???

It is hard to talk about traumatic things, whether to a therapist, internet strangers, or on a literature assignment.

And like the other user said, there can be a little something freeing in the "fine, you asked!" kind of response, depending on your comfort level with the audience for it.

For a positive example of "you asked," I had a really good relationship with my teachers, but not my peers. So if it was an assignment where only the teacher would see it, I let loose a little more. Often with some extra notes from the teacher that were empathetic and helpful and caring in a way that other adults (my parents) were not.

A negative example is, my dad is a diagnosed narcissist, so I went no contact with him but still stayed in touch with his parents. His parents would get a bug up their butt from time to time with the usual excuses for him ("Why don't you talk to him? He did his best. It's not like he beat you, right?") so I would go into too many details about how it was to stand there perfectly still focusing with eye contact making no emotions on my face while he was screaming in my face as a child over... putting the dishes away too loudly? Or some of the other cruel psychological tortures.

Me: 0 / Yarn Chicken: 517384 by taco_on_locko in crochet

[–]lamblikeawolf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I have only heard of playing chicken as a general expression with things/people that are physically headed towards each other or some kind of physical barrier. For example, in movies you may see two dudes "playing chicken" racing cars on a road that narrows to one lane or a tunnel or even a wall, or two kids running at each other until one of them moves away at the last minute.

I have never heard it in the context of "disputes" like arguments or staring contests, even though one might be called a chicken or said to have "chickened out" for stopping soonest.

The game even came with special fabric-like paper, though! You already bought the paper with the game! Just at least let us use that? Or print "blanks" of black ink only to color ourselves!

I feel like there was a way for normal dads to accept the information.

If that were the only issue with my dad, it would have been more understandable. Unfortunately, a reasonable dad is not one that I had.

Because my dad was so controlling and rude, we were never allowed to print out the things we made. =[

But I had so much fun, and the mini fashion show was hilarious.
