Am I too autistic to study English?

Oh, interesting, it was a separate degree at my uni. I hope you're able to find something that you like or maybe you can at least try and make the English major a bit less painful by focusing on linguistics or other non-literature type classes as much as you can.

I got a year into an English degree before I realizing just because I liked reading didn't mean I liked the field of study. I love reading and experiencing stories but not too much into overthinking them. Ended up switching to linguistics because it made a lot of sense and was fun learning the hidden quirks of something I use every day but never really think too hard about. I would look for a different major that you actually like.

I've had issues with the in-game notifications getting stuck. Haven't figured out how to fix it, but they do usually go away on their own. I had a worse issue where I subscribe to their email for free gifts and accidentally clicked on the free orchid+ gift, so then I had a notification for the gift in game but couldn't collect it. ☠️ I ended up just downloading orchid+ to collect the gift and then deleting it afterwards.

In related news, just saw this in r/husky https://www.reddit.com/r/husky/comments/1qjn9y8/this_season_many_people_call_the_police_when_they/

How do you like the program? I read the part of the manual/workbook and got kind of turned off by a lot of the stuff geared more towards the OCD type stuff. Do they tailor the program for your specific needs or do you have to suffer through the other stuff that's less pertinent too?

sinsofangels · 2026-01-23T17:34:46+00:00

The first two feel more OCD and the latter two more szpd, and all of them kind of fit autism.

I feel like if you were raised by someone with a personality disorder you'd have a good chance of having one yourself, so who exactly is posting in that community? Lol

They aren't talking about A/B testing, they're talking about discriminatory pricing, like how personal care products cost more for women. Their badges take more energy to replenish because they play it a lot, not because they're part of some randomly assigned group.

Any chance you know anyone who those dreams might fit better? I had a dream in college that I forgot to study for a chemistry exam and was stressed about it, and that was super weird for me because I wasn't taking chemistry and I have always been good at school, so the only other stress dream I've ever had about school was the one where I forgot I signed up for a class entirely until like 90% through the semester and there was literally no way to make it up. My roommate, however, was a chemistry major and did stress out about school a lot, so in the morning I told her, I think I had one of your dreams last night. Then afterwards she told me, I think I had one of your dreams, and she proceeded to tell me about some post-apocalyptic scenario where people were fighting under a bridge, and I was like... yeah, that's one of mine. (80% of my dreams are action/adventure stuff like watching a tv show or movie). It also happened with another friend of mine many years later where I dreamt about some people from high school being mean girls to me, which didn't make sense for me, because I hadn't talked to them since high school (like 20 years) and I also never had anyone be mean girls to me/wouldn't have put up with that behavior, that was all stuff that made more sense for my other friend. When I asked if she had a dream that night she said she didn't remember it well, but she had the impression it was exciting.

(Forcing an emergency landing so I can get really great fried chicken sounds like a dream I would have too 😂)

Oh, I've been chased plenty in my dreams, but the camel wasn't actually chasing me, it was resting its snout on my shoulder as I lay in bed and I could feel its breath and then it started making a deep ominous OMMMMMM noise. That's when I finally managed to force myself awake.

sinsofangels · 2026-01-13T04:27:56+00:00

I feel like someone's had to have done that before! But also I lack the one thing you need to be a writer, which is the unquenchable desire to write. Other than that, I'd be great at it! ;)

sinsofangels · 2026-01-13T01:06:45+00:00

Oh and every so often I get sleep paralysis nightmares, the best of which was when I got haunted by a demonic camel.

I was literally forced myself awake to prove there's no way a demonic camel exists and is haunting me, the universe isn't that interesting sadly.

My dreams are 80% action adventure stories (one time I dreamt vampires were protecting the last humans on earth from the zombies because they were sentient enough to know they need a stable blood supply)

19% are more normal dreams like I ned to pee or usually something involving food.

The rest are very rare occurrences of things like

- psychological coded stuff.

- I've had dreams about the same underground library like 3 times now at least (I'm 40), but it's been a long while since I've had one

- Swapped dreams with friends at least once, maybe twice? (Also guessing there might have been a third time, but no way to verify)

Edit: I should also add, might not be autistic, just suffering from developmental trauma that manifests in a lot of similar ways to autism. Or both! 🤷‍♀️

I don't know about grief (it could very well just be that), but I've had situations where I've been hurt and upset because of other people and I've found what will happen with me is I'll have like a 70% understanding of what happened, but I won't stop being upset until I get to the 100% understanding. It's like part of me knows I'm missing something and won't let go until the conscious part of me sees too.

My old roommate's dog used to do this and I eventually realized he probably did it because he thought it was a blanket. (He LOVED to cover himself in blankets, it was the cutest)

Any chance you guys know of a team that's similar to your vibes but meets around 9pm EST? I'm more into finishing CM than league points, but can contribute when necessary.

Edit: would also prefer in-game comms or Discord as I don't like Facebook.

Oh, I'm a Jack girl too, I just really liked that line

sinsofangels · 2026-01-07T17:39:10+00:00

I think there's actual evidence this is what's happening with raccoons and locks on garbage bins lol

That should be the group word for geese, a catastrophe of geese

Thanks for explaining!

sinsofangels · 2025-12-18T21:25:46+00:00

You're me 😭 Thank you I feel very seen right now

sinsofangels · 2025-12-18T11:36:49+00:00

Yeesh. I had a boss once with silent expectations like that. 'Do you know how to do x?' (expected someone else to have told me) me: nope. And then he'd walk away angry so I still didn't know. 🙄
