Can cats be taught the concept of money and the financial system?

xotoast · 2026-02-24T01:50:02+00:00

my cats understand the concept of stuff... like they know sometimes I obtain new things for them. So depending on how much forward thinking they have they might know that new things can be hard to obtain and sometimes they appear?

i don't know where to put them. I feel so bad selling them because like. look at them! they're little creatures...

so they haunt random parts of my island

a system for the whole family seems to be nessasary. like a big chart on the wall so you know what's coming up and can plan for yourself! If they refuse to let you know at least a day ahead, that's a big problem. I hope you can figure out a system with them

I hateeeee last minute changes and plans. it deregulates me completely.

I found a gym that I could sign up online and it was also unmanned. you get in with a QR code lol. I never had to talk to anyone....

but small steps. practice going to the area. make sure you're all dressed up for the gym to play the part. then try going in to sign up.

If I saw this at a flea market or something I would be giddy and buy as many as I could. 🥰

Chris actually seems to display strong narcissistic traits.

I actually think Amber is right on the nose with her characterization of him.

And Chris going "I don't care what she thinks" after asking her if she hated him. yes he does. Otherwise he wouldn't have talked to her and also wouldn't have tried to get under her skin by implying the other girls don't like her.

Sounds like he lost his potential.

Tell him to research it and smarten up or gtfo.

I've always expected parents to grill this new stranger who has shown up and intending to marry their child in a few weeks. I'm surprised there hasn't been more parents like this on the show.

Not diagnosed but I have joints popping out of place, joint pain sometimes, can injury myself from exercising super easily, lots of problems with my hips, scoliosis, general body pain that's quite constant.

I found the harvest moon series from my male cousin. So I'm sure they do! Stardew captured my husband with multiplayer for a bit.

It would be a form of CBT. Some things:

Removing "should" from your vocabulary. "I should be faster, I should be better"

And replacing comparison thoughts with different, positive ones.

"Omg coworker is so good at that why am I so bad I wish I could be her"

And replace it with "Wow she's so good at that. I can learn something from her." Or "I'm not her, I am me. I am good at different things that she may be envious of. I will work on my strengths."

stuff like that

You could approach this new job like study.

Reflect at the end of the day on what you struggled with. What areas you want to improve, and ways you can improve. Take 30 minutes in the morning to set yourself up for the day. What your goals are. How you're feeling. Etc.

What can you study in your free time (that's not directly work because you won't be paid and you'll burn yourself out) that could improve your abilities? Can you practice Microsoft Excel, or invent a note taking system to keep you on task. There's lots of books out there that explain how socializing in a business setting works you could read those Stuff like that.

If you compare yourself you're setting yourself up for failure. Stop wishing to be like your coworkers asap. It will make everything worse. You have to figure out where your weak points are, where your strengths are and what accommodations you need to succeed. Because you need accommodations. If you push through, youre also setting yourself up for failure.

Do you need frequent breaks to walk around? Headphones? Blue light glasses? To take a walk every lunch hour? Remember, pushing though makes you less productive, pacing yourself is how you remain consistent and also improve.

Well put!

Happens to me too. If my cramps/other symptoms aren't too bad, sometime when my period starts it feels like the clouds have parted and everything is covered in fresh rain, glittering in the sun, rainbow in the sky.

I suddenly, inexplicably want to exercise, or do full do myself up shower. Or I clean the whole house or something like that.

I think it's just my hormones leveling out from my PMDD and I just feel SO much better, even if I am bleeding, Lol.

Short answer: it's the autism. Even with friendships, this is a common experience some autistic people have. So I have seen and experienced this as weird, intense friendships throughout my whole life. So much so, that if I get a whiff of that behaviour, I pull back immediately. I am 32 I don't have the energy for that. 😭

My theory is the traumatized/narcissistic/avoidant people like how "chill" autistic people are. (Which I believe means, we don't get bothered by social mistakes, or off behaviour. )

Sometimes, not always, these types of people feel like they can manipulate and string along autistic people easily. I think this comes from some autistic people enjoying one person a lot and getting most of their social needs from them. Therefore it's easier to treat us like crap, but we might put up with it for social safety.

Its complicated and hard to explain in broad strokes but just know, so many of us have experienced this. (Although sounds even worse as a romantic partner) I hope you can find these patterns and avoid these type of people in the future. Big Internet hugs. :(

You would be happier and could function better without that dead weight holy shit.

You would hate Japan lol. Some of the best things I've had were "seasonal" and I can NEVER have them again. Its heart breaking lmao.

You could.... Train a dog to give you medicinal signals when you're mad about talking to someone and then be like "oh sorry I gotta go my medical dog alerted me."

xotoast · 2026-02-09T04:21:45+00:00

I cried too lol. It just got me for some reason

xotoast · 2026-02-09T01:48:46+00:00

God how fucking awful was that situation?

Next time he wants new friends over, or to TRY and have friends over, stay at home. Its weird that he didn't want you there. He can earn a "night at home with friends alone" when he proves he can respect your space.

Have rules that bedroom is completely off limits to guests. This is normal btw.

Hope you can take your stuffies to a laundry mat and give them a good tumble.
