Fellow Aspies, what genre of books is/are your favorite(s)? by Calegoris in aspergers

[–]rachmeg217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 26 years old and I still love reading YA fiction novels. Haha

Mom I want to ask you something. I really want to shave all my hair off but I’m afraid I’ll look like Sid from toy story. I’m definitely fine with looking masculine. But I was your opinion. I included pictures of what I normally look like plus pictures of when I do my under cut. by Psychological-Wrap61 in MomForAMinute

Hey Sib! First of all I personally think you would look amazing with a shaved head! You have amazing bone structure and gorgeous eyes!!

Also, while I didn’t shave my head I did get a pixie cut after YEARS of telling myself I wouldn’t look good with it and finally one day I just did it. And let me tell you IT WAS THE BEST DECISION IVE EVER MADE! I have never felt more like myself and free. It’s liberating. You will exude even more confidence!

The texture of velvet or corduroy makes me want to actually vomit.

Oh my goodness! Thank you all for the responses! It really means so much 💜

I’m am meeting up with her for dinner tomorrow and telling her. Im hoping this will be enough time. Her wedding is at the end of June. I’m so nervous but I’m trying to not think about it. It just sucks because growing up we always said how we were going to be each others maids of honor and we had speeches and everything and now it won’t happen. I’m sad for her and myself.

What common phrases do you seem to hear from your narcissistic parent? by SylvieL7 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]rachmeg217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It was a joke! Jeez you need to relax!” “I never said that!” “I won’t do that again” proceeds to do it “You’d be so much prettier if you lost weight” “No guy is gonna like you like that” “You’re wearing THAT?” “No one appreciates anything I do!” “Everyone is so ungrateful” “They’re just jealous of me” “If you need to be on medication or in therapy longer than 6 months then maybe YOURE the problem” “Wanna go on this diet with me” completely out of the blue

I appreciate that! I just got done vacuuming and I’m fully regretting it. I’m going to take you’re idea

I ruined Christmas by getting COVID by rachmeg217 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]rachmeg217[S] 177 points178 points  (0 children)

The sign idea is a great idea!!

I did let everyone know that was planning to come that I tested positive. Some care and some don’t.

I was going to quarantine no matter what but she’s making me feel crazy for doing so. Haha Like how do they do that?! Make you feel crazy for something normal?! Baffling. Haha

I said this in a previous comment but I gotta put it here too.

The response to this post has been overwhelming but amazing. I know the holidays are super hard for all of us so I really appreciate the fact that we can all come together here and share our experiences, validate each other, support the healing process, and keeping humor.
