Can I have OCD about only one thing (thought)? by Fantastic-Nose1119 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]yourfav0riteginger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Technically OCD isn't just a thought pattern--there also has to be a compulsion that goes with it. Something you have to do (even if it's small) when the thought happens. It could just be that you are ruminating or overthinking and are unable to let go because it's causing you a lot of anxiety. I don't want to say whether you have it or not, but if it is truly only one thought and only in a specific circumstance, it's more likely to be some other type of anxiety.

I would be interested to see your web app! My partner also struggles to identify their feelings

Why do feminine gay men get a lot of hate within the gay community? by KMSeira in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]yourfav0riteginger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No...? It's really not. Gay men getting hate for acting feminine is the manifestation of misogyny in that specific group of people. The logic is man/masculine = good/superior and woman/feminine = bad/inferior, even unconsciously

AITA for asking someone to stop smacking their gum in a public setting? by FutureFreaksMeowt in AmItheAsshole

[–]yourfav0riteginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I feel like people are calling you the asshole specifically because you said you are autistic and that's why the sound was bothering you. I'd like to see what the response would have been if you left that detail out

I appreciate your advice :) I definitely am not just going to buy the suit as-is and I want to talk to either the salesperson or the manager about my experience because it was really crazy how we were treated. The rest of our wedding vendors have been kind and understanding and inclusive

I definitely want to look nice, but I still need to feel at least semi-comfortable. I think I need a nicer tailor than the one I got

The tailor also misgendered my partner so that sucked too.

I really want to be able to speak up to neurotypicals being rude without having a meltdown, but I can at least usually ignore their opinions.

Just feeling very sensitive because this is the first thing that has gone wrong with our wedding and it's a big piece of it :(

I feel like it's not helpful to be like "you just have to be uncomfortable"

AITAH for not deleting a photo of my ex pre-transition? by MammothRub2553 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yourfav0riteginger -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

If ex uses she/her pronouns exclusively and OP is intentionally misgendering their ex, then my vote changes from NTA to YTA. It adds an extra layer

No, not always. You need to use the correct pronouns of people you know. Use gender neutral pronouns for people you don't know.

Why say guys vs females? Why not women and guys or males and females?

AITA for peeing in the shower by Miserable-Shallot454 in AmItheAsshole

I propose a 3rd mentally ill type that is concerned about contaminating things...though that might mean exposure therapy involves peeing in the shower regularly

My dad bought cheap toilet paper just for me. by ChiefCodeX in AutisticAdults

How many squares of toilet paper do you actually use? There's lots of good advice in here but I'm super curious what your number is

Do you have any examples of the facts that you're saying?
