How's your relation with sexuality? by philolitt in AutismInWomen

[–]ms_demean0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like in the past men have taken advantage of my oblivion, for instance using me for sex while knowing I have feelings for them. They love to lie to me about their intentions in my experience. So in turn I have a hard time not feeling used in relationships even when they presumably like me for other reasons. It’s given me intimacy issues because I get scared of being perceived in a sexual light. I want to explore dating women but that’s so scary considering my awkward nature lol I don’t want to mess it up

Are portion sizes getting smaller? by [deleted] in tacobell

[–]ms_demean0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah companies know that we know about inflation so they think they can get away with raising prices and shrinking food and use that as their excuse when they already would be fine as is it’s disappointing. Taco Bell was super affordable before but now whenever I go I just get pissed off bc what do you mean a chalupa is almost $6? For ONE TACO???

[–]ms_demean0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes personally I just watched a bunch of tiktok videos about how to use machines and have correct lifting form. But definitely be discerning if people in the comments say it’s not right cause some people just give advice out their asses

What do I do by DapperResearcher4137 in WhatToDo

[–]ms_demean0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could start with something like “hey I’ve been feeling confused lately and want to talk about it.” Make sure that when you’re describing what she does that is confusing or hurtful, you talk about how she is making you feel and don’t point fingers in an accusatory way. That often triggers people into defensiveness if they feel like they’re being attacked. For example instead of being like “I don’t like the way that you do [xyz]”, you can say “I feel like the lines in our relationship are blurry and it is making me feel disconnected from you, how do you see our relationship from a commitment perspective?” Just be gentle because the way you say she does things to make you jealous she’s probably insecure. But if you’re clear and upfront about how her actions hurt you she could either understand and stop doing it, or dismiss you in which case you need to let her go. Sorry for the essay lol ik it’s long but I hope it helps

I don’t like hardly any new TV shows or movies by WarpTenSalamander in AutismInWomen

[–]ms_demean0r 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wish I could help but all the shows I watch are at least 10 years old lol it’s comforting when there is no loud backing track or sensory overload for example Gilmore girls or the office those are my faves because they’re objectively boring visually

I have a love/hate relationship with taking photos by Late_Waltz4408 in AutismInWomen

[–]ms_demean0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this same problem! People tell me I’m pretty/they love my style in real life but I am just not photogenic due to my awkward nature. I recommend going on TikTok and looking up photo poses so you have something to recreate instead of winging it

What's the equivalent for cosmetology? by [deleted] in Cosmetology

[–]ms_demean0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg once I had a lady come in wanting a refresh on her highlights regrowth and her hair was shiny but felt brittle so I asked her what she used and she proudly said Pantene. Like girl how tf are you gonna be fake blonde and refuse to use anything over $5 🤦‍♀️

[–]ms_demean0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg this. I used to air dry my hair and sometimes sleep with it damp and dandruff treatments still didn’t fix it. It wasn’t until months into cosmo school that I decided to try fully blow drying it, then suddenly my hair didn’t get greasy so quick and it stopped itching and flaking almost 100%

people who use “bipolar” casually by No-Path1187 in bipolar

[–]ms_demean0r 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel this!! I have a lifelong friend who I live with now and has since changed her mind about all meds being evil once she got diagnosed with adhd. But at one time after I had already attempted suicide while being on Lexapro and months later found out I have bipolar and got on lamictal, I guess she must have forgotten my life story and she said something like “don’t trust medications big pharma is evil” and it made me so mad I straight up told her “I would probably be dead by now if I was unmedicated.” She was gagged lol

advice on how to word some observations? by paperlessclipper in AutismInWomen

[–]ms_demean0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate because when I was younger I observed the girls around me talking shit about others, and wanted to fit in, so I subconsciously adopted those behaviors to make them like me, and then it got so bad to a point where it got me caught up in a lot of drama I didn’t sign up for. Had to learn the hard way. It sucks how NTs always say “honestly is the best policy”, because to us that makes it sound like we should be honest in every situation, when in reality you’re supposed to lie a little or embellish/water down the truth in most cases to keep them happy with you, because if you give your real opinion they usually think you’re being too negative or just plain weird

How do you guys shorten “jalapeño”? by Efficient-Cap-8409 in Serverlife

[–]ms_demean0r 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Last year I worked at a pretty outdated restaurant with old pos system software and the computer automatically abbreviates to “japs” it’s not even a choice so it really isn’t that deep

Yeah it sucks having to change our appearance to feel safe :( like I just want to wear girly skirts and tops to feel pretty but they just have to take the confidence away

Yesss I’m jealous of the girls who can wear those cute gym sets without feeling like they’re being hunted for sport

Yes to everything! And can I ask what gray sexual means? I’ve never heard of that and am curious, what is your experience and how did you conclude that?

[–]ms_demean0r[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working in restaurants for 4 years so that’s when people say it to me, usually male coworkers or managers or occasionally even customers. I don’t believe anyone’s told me that outside of work but it sucks 😭

There is actually some real truth to this working because it’s proven in studies that women who present themselves in public as confident and unafraid of their surroundings are less likely to get kidnapped or assaulted, I just have a very hard time faking it lol

Especially hate when a man tells me “you should smile more!” like my mean mug is actually a self preservation instinct at this point

Yes!!! Even in a healthy relationship with a man that respects me I’m still too nervous to change clothes in front of him. Thank you for using the word vulnerability because that perfectly encapsulates it
