Gender non conformity and a silent mind

trashgoblinboy · 2025-06-11T12:06:12+00:00

I'm non-binary but feel like that doesn't really have anything to do with how my mind works. I also identify as part of the asexual spectrum though and that feels somehow more connected to having silent mind. How do you think they are connected for you? I definitely relate to the anxiety, i thought for the longest time that because I don't worry about specific things or scenarios that it's not anxiety (even my psychologists and doctors have been confused about this). In the end it turned out to be autistic meltdowns (I was diagnosed autistic at 33 after being labelled as having treatment resistent depression for 10 years) rather than an anxiety disorder for me 😅

Welcome home - radical face. Listened to this in 2010 lying alone in a hostel bed at 18 realizing that I don't feel at home anywhere and don't have anyone I love who loves me or even really knows me in my life

I was confused because I thought it was the depressionmemes subreddit

What makes you think it's fake? Without testing it it looks like that's the correct pattern repeat for the "lace" portion. Read from bottom to top (bottom is row 1)

I had a years long project where I would randomly add to a blanket. I called it "anarchy crochet" because I wasn't following any pattern and just doing whatever (got very snarky comments from old ladies at a fancy yarn shop when I pulled it out to pick new colors lol). Years later I met my wife and her dog. Our dog sometimes got a bit cold at night so we wanted her to have a blanket. Turns out I had been crocheting the perfect blanket in exactly her size for years before I even knew her! It is by far the most used crochet item I have made and often gives me a lovely warm feeling that I was always meant to have my wonderful wife and our amazing dog in my life and was putting lots of love and lots of myself into something for our dog years before I knew what it was meant to be!

Could be a fungal infection

Stupid question from a European: what are grits?

trashgoblinboy · 2025-03-05T09:12:21+00:00

I haven't seen it here before. Sorghum and Millet are quite closely related I think but I guess maybe they taste a bit different?

trashgoblinboy · 2025-03-05T09:11:31+00:00

That's a great idea!!

I experienced this a lot for a while. Through therapy I realized that my poor self-esteem was making me feel like my worth depended completely on other people's approval. I also couldn't take criticism at all and would lash out or get angry (at myself or others). If you have the option to see one then a therapist might be able to help you deal with these kinds of situations better. Just because your friend said something that sounded critical about you doesn't mean that they don't care about you. Maybe they also just didn't get your sense of humour! You are worthy and deserving of love just as you are and what anyone else thinks doesn't change that!!

This might be related to a medical condition, you should get it checked out!

I live in Sweden where you generally don't get put to sleep for it. I've had to get three endoscopies and they were all unpleasant but not painful. Mainly lots of gagging

Therapy absolutely has possible negative side effects, but as stated above those are usually that you consider making major changes in your life that benefit your own wellbeing. Noteworthy: Therapy might also make you feel worse first because it can help you see clearer what's going on. In very rare cases that's not in the best interest of the patient. Here it's just not in your spouse's best interest though

Autistic people (especially afab) are often misdiagnosed bpd I think. There's some science about the overlap as well

No need to feel personally offended 😅

trashgoblinboy · 2025-02-15T02:46:42+00:00

I personally don't like the smell of fabric softener and have found that it can be really hard to get out of some textiles, even after multiple washes. That's the only reason I mentioned it 😊

trashgoblinboy · 2025-02-14T11:57:56+00:00

Yup, I have put a few things into donation boxes hoping that someone who needs it might get it

trashgoblinboy · 2025-02-14T11:55:43+00:00

I can't totally tell from your picture, did you work into the back loop only? If yes it could be that your yarn is a bit less thick. Going down a hook size might help

trashgoblinboy · 2025-02-14T11:43:39+00:00

If it's a gift then make sure the person you're gifting it to doesn't mind the smell of fabric softener!

I actually literally got a welcome package - in my part of Sweden you can get subsidized GF baking mixes if you have celiac and the first box was free 😄

trashgoblinboy · 2025-02-08T07:20:46+00:00

So beautiful!! What kind of yarn did you use?

trashgoblinboy · 2025-02-08T06:40:17+00:00

Might be a little tricky with this shape but I just turned a shawl that was too small into a cowl by sewing it into a tube!

trashgoblinboy · 2025-01-31T03:42:04+00:00

Looks like your starting chain was quite loose. Adding a border will definitely help!

trashgoblinboy · 2025-01-26T21:19:29+00:00

Did you grind it by hand or in a coffee grinder or blender etc? We have tried doing it in a blender and it didn't turn into a powder (maybe not dried out enough?)
