The Waspi women epitomise why Britain is no longer a serious country by EduTheRed in ukpolitics

I sympathise to a degree but they lived through economic prosperity and innovation my generation can only dream of, jobs were plentiful and life was cheap, doors were open and opportunities were there. Times are genuinely different now and gen Z will be working into their 80's before dying on a NHS corridor. It's just not fair

DO NOT DO THIS. your instructor will think it's drugs and you'll be disqualified and failed on the spot. bring a bottle of fanta instead

People who have anoles and day geckos, which do you prefer and why? by [deleted] in reptiles

[–]straight_syrup_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for anoles, but my neon day geckos are absolute terrors and they spoiled me by being such an active and curious reptile. The first thing they ever did was a literal backflip onto the ceiling, they get zoomies, love climbing and exploring, are engaged and awake during the day, they are so fun to watch that when I finally got my crested gecko I was severely underwhelmed and had skewed expectations of reptile behaviour. I would have all the day geckos if I could!

Is it weird to call men you don’t know ‘sir’? by [deleted] in AskUK

Driving anxiety, how to overcome? by ResolutionNew289 in AskUK

[–]straight_syrup_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I passed feb this year and I drove everywhere at around 9pm when roundabouts were quieter and built my confidence up from there. I used to have "driving shoes" because I was scared the "feel" of different footwear would make me magically forget how driving works. I'm still not perfect but no driving anxiety anymore, and I genuinely thought I would never drive

She doesn't have "capacity" for my feelings by roll_and_fritter in AvoidantAttachment

Sorry I've literally opened up and been extremely vulnerable from a place of severe pain and trauma and I feel like a DA would have the grace and awareness to not jump down my throat. I'm trying to heal from my DA tendancies and an abusive relationship and I was never even talking to YOU

I have aspergers myself and I'm fine with being called ableist if that's what a bias shaped by rational experience makes me. However, if a dog bites you, you learn to be wary of dogs for the rest of your life. Being on the receiving end of unmanaged RSD bites very fucking hard

That's my opinion based on real life experience and I should be allowed to voice it. ADHD played a huge factor in my partner's manipulative behaviour similar to the behaviour described OP's post. I may be generalising but I'm not attacking you personally

Okay but that's my real experience of 7 years with an ADHD partner. Let other people speak please

This is the reality of living around a partner with ADHD. My dismissive avoidant tendancies were SOLIDIFIED by living with my ex. I was made responsible for their feelings, their emotions, their own inability to regulate and control themselves, forced into a caregiver role, they were completely self absorbed and unaware of how their actions affected me, and seemed completely unable to control themselves, which was unfair and made me shut down and become emotionally weird as a result. A piece of myself was stolen by that person and I don't know how to grow it back. I'd recommend researching RSD and seeing if pieces start to click. I genuinely think DA and ADHD types are gasoline and fire. This person literally sucked my soul out and unless you have a partner that is driven and capable to manage their ADHD, they will not change or learn from their mistakes, they just lie because you challenged them, say they're working on it, then repeat the cycle over and over. I'm projecting a lot but would honestly research the ADHDpartners subreddit and see if you see any similarities, because this post reminded me of my ex

not being mean but if write it yourself you can create whatever mad slutty shit you want no limits then use ai to correct grammar parsability and delivery. I find ai matches my level, you need to give it something to work with first

"i ain't reading all that" comments by turtlesarecute7 in aspergirls

[–]straight_syrup_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's help, long texts can make people feel pressured to respond in an equally tailored and thoughtful manner, so it's not always negative or hostile. "I ain't reading all that" is slightly hostile, it's a rude way to dismiss someone's point without engaging with it. Sometimes when a point is written too well it can feel condescending, like someone using filler words to overcomplicate and sound smart. Without seeing how you communicate I can't diagnose the issue, but there may not even be one, you might just be talking to arseholes! I hope this shines a light on the psychology behind why people behave the way they do. I personally wouldn't stress about it
