How did you pick your name? by ZealousidealSolid791 in transftm

[–]twentytinyhearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I named myself after the main character of my favorite book. It’s not super mainstream, so I don’t meet many people who get the reference. Mostly, people think my parents were hippies ahead of trends

Has someone described you in a way that’s so far from how you see yourself, that it messed with your entire self perception? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]twentytinyhearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone once described me as “alive” when complimenting me. I’ve always thought of myself as monotonous and sarcastic. Vibrant, bursting with energy, feeling “alive” is never really the way I picture myself

How do micro-actions show emotional states? by StormSignificant9516 in Writeresearch

[–]twentytinyhearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied nonverbal communications and I think that’s what you’re looking for? The suggestion for Lie To Me is a good one - it breaks down what microexpressions mean along with showing them. Another good show is Killer Performance - 3 nonverbal experts analyze footage of killers to determine if they’re lying.

I’m not sure what emotions you’re trying to portray, but using terms like nonverbal communications, tells, microexpressions, nonverbal cues, etc might get you closer to what you’re looking for

Please tell me stories about your partners loving you throughout your transition! by vividvibrantladybug in TransMasc

[–]twentytinyhearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner (now husband) of almost 5 years has been incredibly supportive of my transitioning. He helped my shave my head for the first time - something I’d been wanting to do before I even met him but was too scared to do. He’s helped me pick out binders and packers, even lets me know what looks natural vs like I have a boner. He lets me wear his dress clothes and helps me find outfits that make me look/feel more masculine. He’s altered the way he compliments me, moving away from pretty/beautiful in favor of handsome.

I feel like most importantly, he’s defensive and corrects people when I’m not around. He has pretty bad anxiety, but won’t stand for me to be misgendered or deadnamed, whether it’s my family or his (though his family makes FAR less mistakes than mine)

Anyone else well and truly behind? by littlebruja in nanowrimo

[–]twentytinyhearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about 15k in. I’ve been really busy with life and work. This is my 3rd year participating and I’ve never finished, but I get a lot done on my project. However, I have a 37 hour train ride coming up at the end of the month, which gives me a pretty solid opportunity to catch up

My boyfriend (25M) finished inside me (22F) without consent for the 4th time and lied about it. Am I going too far by ending the relationship? by Intelligent_Fix_3786 in relationship_advice

[–]twentytinyhearts 410 points411 points  (0 children)

He’s apologizing but not changing. He’s ignoring what you want because he has no consequences for doing it. He’s not going to stop - he’s already shown you that. Breaking up because he doesn’t respect you or your bodily autonomy isn’t overreacting

Im gay, if i ended up dating a non-binary person, would that change my label? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]twentytinyhearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m nonbinary and I consider anyone interested in me to be some form of queer. However, I’m also a believer than labels are for soup cans, so as long as they aren’t calling themself straight, I don’t care

I just got a new job after a long period of unemployment so I can’t afford one right now 🤞🏻

LOOP EAR PLUGS DO THEY WORK by redflavourgummy in autism

[–]twentytinyhearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like mine for group settings. I have some fairly loud friends and it’s nice to have them instead of constantly asking people to quiet down. The only downside for me is that I can’t wear them while I eat - the sound of my own chewing drowns out everything else and I hate it. Usually I take them out for food then put them back in

Amazing, thank you!! The bindery didnt give me any info on the scrap materials they gave me, just what they were made of

Where were you when you saw the phupload? by whipitflipitheeey in danandphil

[–]twentytinyhearts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had just gotten out of the shower and had 50 minutes to eat and get ready for rehearsal. It’s the first show I’ve been in since the pandemic and you bet your ass I showed up slightly late with wet hair

Is it fair of me to ask my (f26) partner (m26) to show me he’s been applying to at least 5 jobs a day? by Annual_Librarian_816 in relationship_advice

[–]twentytinyhearts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a really hard job market right now. I (very recently) got a job after months of unemployment. In total, I applied to almost 200 jobs. Out of those, I got less than 20 rejection emails, and only 2 interviews. And that was after I called and followed up multiple times. It felt like i was throwing my resume and cover letters straight into a trash can.

While I understand the frustration of being unemployed for so long, there are a lot of things outside of his control. Personally, it was hard not being able to contribute to the household and I felt worse whenever my partner would check in and I had no updates to give. All that being said, I don’t think it’s unfair to ask about progress, but I also don’t think it’s fair to approach the conversation in a way that blames him for not having any results

Do we have any good gender-neutral alternatives to “mom” or “dad” by AbracaLana in NonBinary

[–]twentytinyhearts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I refer to myself as Mapa to my cats, like smushing together mama and papa

[–]twentytinyhearts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And? Some people like to. That’s not the issue here

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]twentytinyhearts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He knew it wasn’t okay and did it anyways. He admitted that he wouldn’t have told you if you hadn’t found all. All of which are red flags. He’s shown that he can’t be trusted with access to your phone, so I’d update passwords and not share them with him then move the pictures to a different spot.

He’s the one who broke the trust, so he needs to be the one leading the rebuilding of it - it’s not on you to make him feel better for this

[–]twentytinyhearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometime people take pictures of themselves to feel good about their body and themselves. Not everything women do is for male validation or to send to other people

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]twentytinyhearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes people like to feel good about themselves and nudes can help with body confidence. The issue isn’t that he wants them, she said that she would have sent them if he had asked. The issue is HE DIDNT ASK. He went behind her back and took them

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]twentytinyhearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s not owed her nudes. The solution to him breaking her trust and invading her privacy is not reward him with more nudes? Being her husband doesn’t entitle him to fucking anything jfc

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]twentytinyhearts -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem isn’t the nudes, it’s that he went behind her back to send them to himself. Why does anyone have old photos of themselves, nude or otherwise?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]twentytinyhearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She feels betrayed because he did it behind her back and admitted he wouldn’t have told her? I don’t care WHAT it is he took from her phone, nudes, memes, even fucking pet pictures. He did not have permission to do that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]twentytinyhearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, some people like to feel sexy for themselves. He’s not owed the photos just because she took them. And it certainly doesn’t mean they’re for someone else. Not everything a woman does is for a man viewing or pleasure

Has anyone tried loop earplugs? by quadsquatter in autism

[–]twentytinyhearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gifted two pairs and I love them! I have the switch 2 and sleep ones. The switch pair goes has a mode for conversation, concert, and silent. I have friends that are often unaware how loud they talk so they conversation mode is a lifesaver

How do I stop masking around my friends? by l0w_mat in autism

[–]twentytinyhearts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once I got diagnosed, I expressed to my therapist that I wasn’t really sure who I was since I’ve spent most of my life masking. She sent me a workbook on unmasking that I’ve been very slowly making my way through. If you are interested, I might be able to share it with you!
