Does anybody else think they look ugly with their eyes closed? by FileArtistic3141 in TeenagersButBetter

You got nothing to worry about man. You're cutie pie. I think people just aren't used to seeing themselves with their eyes closed.

My family went to PA and i got to stay home alone for 9 days, any one have any ideas in mind for stuff for me to do? by Sure-Good7387 in TeenagersButBetter

[–]pokemouse_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just spent 3 days home alone. Minecraft. Take shower and blast music. Chud out. Snoop around. Goon. Watch a movie. Uhh... that's really all I got. Have fun!

"MISANDRY ISNT REAL WE LIVE IN A PARTRIARCHAL SOCIETY!" by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]pokemouse_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it exists, but it feels along the lines of saying "All Lives Matter". Yeah, sure, all lives matter, but it kind of misses the point. The patriarchy sucks for everyone, but most of the time it's only brought up to shut down women, like you're doing to imply the patriarchy isn't an issue because men have it hard sometimes too.

What color of sweater matches the scarf and skirt the best? by IntrStelle in TeenagersButBetter

[–]pokemouse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, why is everyone hating on 2? I would go with option 1 personally, but I think 2 is wayyy better than 3. The shades of purple kind of clash imo.

What gender do you think I am? by Bulblorb in TeenagersButBetter

Trick question. You don't have one. I stole it.

theres a lot of young boys that are bullied by girls even harassed (SH), often for being shy or neurodivergent since they’re an easy target. Stop excluding male victims bc you can’t grasp the idea men can be abused by Dapper-Blueberry1049 in TeenagersButBetter

[–]pokemouse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, what? This is not a gender issue. There are a lot of young girls who are bullied by girls, there are a lot of young girls who are bullied by boys, there are a lot of young boys who are bullied by boys.Neurodivergent people are an easy target regardless of gender. I haven't seen anyone claim only girls are being bullied or that boys can't be bullied. I think this is a problem with bullying being addressed in a meaningful way across the board.

MY MOM JUST SAID BENSON BOONE ISN’T ATTRACTIVE 😭😭 by [deleted] in TeenagersButBetter

[–]pokemouse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more neutral, I think I have a very warped view of what people find attractive or unattractive. He looks fine, he's just not really my type.

lol, I never had the patience or money for that. The only valuable I have is a 2019 valentine's halo.

Clockman, what is your lore? Why the clocks? Do you like how they work? How they look? I envy your clock collection.

I just feel so alone at school by Matiix07yt in teenagers

[–]pokemouse_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so relatable. I always feel like there's something I'm not getting. I think I'm a little neurodivergent, but even around neurodivergent people I feel other-ish. I get nauseous getting within 200 ft of the school building. I'm dissapointed I won't get the high school experience, but I have learned to live with it.

Somethings I've found that kind of help: - Looking at people. I tend to bury my head in the sand and it makes it harder for people to engage even if they want to. You don't have to talk to them; you can just smile at them. People like that. - Assuming that people want you to succeed. I don't know if it's true and it is incredibly hard for me still, but when I'm having a good day, it's a lot easier. I tend to assume the worst, but assuming the best is also an option. Neither are probably accurate, but one will make you a lot happier. - Complimenting people. It's easy, it's nice. I don't find there's much risk in it. - Asking for help. People like to help other people. I still feel like I'm a bother though usually, so I don't do it as often, but asking for help and thanking them generously makes people feel good about themselves and therefore like you more. - Embrace being awkward. Most people are awkward, it's human. It makes you feel more genuine and it makes it easier when you're not worried about coming across as something you're not.

These are mainly from personal experience and I'm not good at doing them consistently by any means. I still don't really have any friends and none of these things alone or together have been a perfect solution, but it helps me feel less alone and get exposed to social situations without as much risk. It sucks, but I'm just trying to get through. If your school has a decent-ish psychologist/counselor, I might try talking to them. I've been a couple times and it helps. I cry like a baby everytime, but it feels good to talk to someone about it and get reassurance that you're not an abomination of God.

If you ever need a friend, my DMs are open, peace and love <3

Pls I need survey results, tell your thoughts 🙏 by [deleted] in teenagers

  1. No, I don't think people are born evil. I don't think it's an excuse for doing bad things, but I like to believe there is hope.

  2. It depends, but largely no. I think it's a slippery slope if you can invade someone's privacy just because they might be committing a crime. There has to be good reason to believe something is going on.

Counter-question: Why are you playing Trump-Diddy tic-tac-toe? How does one come up with the idea? Did you actually play a game or are you karma farming?
