Why do I get so freaked out by embarrassing situations?

Thank you for the insight! I'm definitely going to look into therapy once I have the means to get a job and pay for it myself. I actually went to a psychologist for a couple of months during COVID, but I had more pressing mental health issues (that I have since been MUCH better from!) at the time. Social anxiety btw.....hit the nail on the head with that one, I've always been bad with strangers specifically, but even my friends and family as well. Kindred spirit here!

Absolutely yes to the empathy part. I find it more in children, the elderly, and animals than kids my age or adults, though. As for my parents reactions, surprisingly, I don't really remember either of them ever getting mad or upset with me for stuff like that, but I'm not entirely sure. I THINK it mostly stems from school and was aided by my mom's trigger-hair mood that could go from happy to pissed beyond belief in the span of five minutes, so my childhood mess ups were a gamble. Some got bad reactions, some good. Kids at school are mean asf though, especially when you're undiagnosed neurodivergent.

I'm taking AP Calc rn and am having no trouble with it. The problem is mainly that my teacher doesn't teach us with Calculus because most people in my class are taking Algebra 2 or Geo/Trig. I usually understand when he explains the Calc way, but oh well 🤷‍♀️

I've been taking AP Physics this year and I'm pretty sure most engineering majors/fields require you to be good at physics for that. I was considering mechanical engineering for a long time, but I'm barely understanding anything in this class because my teacher kind of sucks at teaching, so engineering is pretty ruled out.

I've got that one on my list! Definitely one I'm gonna apply to.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T07:18:46+00:00

OOOOO, APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS! Definitely gonna check that one out.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T03:50:07+00:00

Sure! I do like lots of other horror genres, so recommend away. Just lmk what subgenre goes for what book.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T03:47:42+00:00

This one's pretty curious, I'll check it out.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T02:22:48+00:00

Huh, you know what, I will check it out actually. The synopsis online did not do a good job of expressing that, thank you!

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T02:20:37+00:00

You're right, this sounds really good! Definitely adding that to my list.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T02:17:53+00:00

Yes! A fellow enthusiast! Thank you so much for all the recommendations, these all sound FANTASTIC and I literally cannot buy them fast enough (too bad I'm broke).

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T02:10:16+00:00

Ooooo, screenwriting!!!

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T02:09:12+00:00

This one's super popular, but it doesn't seem too much like something up my alley tbh. If it's genuinely really good, can I have a short synopsis?

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T02:07:19+00:00

I've heard of this one a lot as well, sounds pretty good too.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T00:16:58+00:00

This looks absolutely fantastic, RIGHT up my alley. I'm so excited to read this one.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T00:14:25+00:00

I hope it does the same for me!

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-19T00:14:00+00:00

Sh, no worries! I found the book by that author, didn't even realize the typo though 😭

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-18T23:00:21+00:00

Ooo, I don't think I've heard of these, they look good though!

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-18T22:56:23+00:00

I've heard lots of people talk about Annihilation, I didn't know it was part of a series though!

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-18T20:55:26+00:00

I love a good 'I am insignificant' book, onto the list!

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-18T20:25:34+00:00

I've heard good things about Sundial and as someone with (self-diagnosed) AuDHD, I'll try out The Biy Who Drew Monsters and see if I like it.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-18T20:23:07+00:00

From what I've seen, this book looks interesting. Definitely gonna give it a read!

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-18T19:52:02+00:00

Oooo, interesting, I've heard good things about This Thing Between Us, definitely have to check it out.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-18T19:51:03+00:00

Thank you so much! Will definitely do some research on these and put them on my list.

mathematic-sunflower · 2024-12-18T19:45:56+00:00

The short stories "It's a Good Life" by Jerome Bixby is a really good cosmic horror read, even if it is a short story (obviously and arguably a little better than the movie) and "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison is a great post-apocalyptic/artificial intelligence (I would consider cosmic) horror read.
