Me either. Is this a normal thing among friends? Is it even normal for couples to do? I don't know if my friends are interested in me or are just being nice.
So do you think my friends are flirting or just being friendly?
"They edited the post to say girls instead of females."
I didn't do that
No I'm not. I tried sending you a private message but it told me I had to download something
"furries are a whole different breed."
I see what you did there
Why am I the way I am? Why can't I just be like everyone else? I hate having learning disabilities. Every day of my life I wonder what my life could have been if I didn't have all these things wrong with me. It feels like I was never meant to be born. I hate the person I am.
Not really. It's been 70/30. I have some male friends and there pretty intimate. Always doing things like slapping my butt and giving me sexual compliments/wolf whistling at me. At first it was pretty awkward then I thought to myself "what's the problem?" There only complimenting you and there not exactly wrong😏.
But now I don't know if there just being friendly or if there flirting with me. I've had women say similar things to me before.
Straight people even today live with the fear of being perceived as gay so there very closed off and distant.
The 70s, 80s and 90s as I wasn't born yet
Are men as intimate with there friends as girls are?
I've had female friends and I've had male friends but for some reason I've noticed that females are more intimate and close to there friends then males are. Is this true for all male friends?
Any last name as a first name. You know Parker, Ford, Taylor, Mason and McKenzie
You sent me a private message earlier. I would like to talk to you more however I'm not comfortable showing my face to anyone.
Thank you for your comment. NPD is such a stigmatized thing to live with I wasn't expecting anyone to be as understanding. I haven't told anyone before so it feels so nice to have this off my chest.
I have family and friends and I'm always worried about how they would react if they found out. I wonder if anyone would date someone who has NPD? If you look on online all you see are articles and videos about the dangers of NPD and how people with it are future serial killers and manipulators. I'll admit I'm not the perfect person. My narcissism is a awful thing I live with but it doesn't define me. We all have our problems and mine is a mental disorder I didn't choose to have.
How can I get better at talking?
I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I have a really pacific issue. In general just I suck at talking. I find it hard to put my thoughts to words, I never know what words to use and I never know what to say.
I talk like xQc irl and the act of using words to hard I'm always slurring them out even tho I try not to and I have a stutter and a slip so saying thing is very hard.
People should stop using 'Low IQ' as a insult
I hate how normalised it is to use 'low IQ' as an insult. As someone with below average intelligence I find it very offensive and annoying to see so many people (even some progressives) using it as an insult. Why in this age of tolerance and anti-ableism is it so common?
It would socially unacceptable for me to say something is a "black take" or a "wheelchair take" so why is it so common to do it with mentally challenged people? When ever I hear it IRL it feels so isolating. I have have friends who always called eachother "R*traded", "low IQ" and "espeds" and it hurts because I am those things but I'm too embarrassed to call them out because I don't want them to find out so now I have to keep it secret. You don't choose your IQ it's a unchangeable and uncontrollable thing about you so I hate when people just use it like it means being poor or just smelling bad.
Has a serial killer ever been released from prison?
Has there ever been a case where someone convicted of three or more murders was released from prison?
I have Narcissistic Personality Disorder, AMA
When I was 20 I was diagnosed by a psychologist with having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. At first I was in denial about but over time I come to terms with my narcissism and the diagnosis started to make sense to me. A lot of my problems can be traced back to my unrealistic self image and lack of ability to relate with others.
There's a lot of stigma towards NPD. I hope by making this thread I can help others understand that having NPD doesn't inherently make you a bad person and NPD hurts the person with it as well.
What is a underrated film only you know about?
. The White, The Yellow And The Black (1975)
AKA 'Samurai' and 'Shoot first... Ask Questions Later'. A pretty funny and well written spaghetti western. Worth a watch if your looking for some light entertainment and a few laughs.
. Get Him To The Greek (2010)
Don't understand why films like 'Superbad' (2007) and '21 Jump Street' (2010) become beloved classics while this was forgotten. It's got the comedy of a raunchy late-2000's Seth Rogan like film and the action of a James Bond movie. The inclusion of Pedo Diddy didn't age well but that can be forgiven.
Is there a 'ama' sub?
Is there a sub for ama's aka 'ask me anythings'? If not where do people post them?
Is there any hope for me?
I'm starting to think that my life is over and I don't want to live anymore. As of writing this I am a 23 year old woman with no qualifications or education. I have learning disabilities and my IQ is just 76. I struggle with things like talking, maths and spelling and I can't find a job.
When I was a kid I knew I was different. Things that were easy for the other kids to do took me ages to learn. Kids used to make fun of me because of the way I talked and in general I could fit in. As I got older my learning disabilities become more noticeable. I was diagnosed with ADHD and low intelligence and therefore struggled academically but my dad refused to put me in a special education program because he thought it would be an embarrassment. School was very hard for me. I would work my ass off just to get C's and B's and my father was very abusive. He would expect me to do well in school and if I didn't he would beat and punish me. I had to repeat the 7th and 9th grade but I eventually graduated but very poor grades and no qualifications. When I was around 15-18 started to do drugs like weed and alcohol just to cope.
I left my parents house when I was 19 and went to live with a friend. I have very little money as I'm addicted to drugs and my lack of education makes getting a job practically impossible. I don't see my life going anywhere and when I'm not on drugs I'm miserable. My brothers and sisters have done so much better then me and it makes me so jealous, angry and ashamed. I know this may sound cringe but I honestly can't do this anymore.
EDIT: I now have a job at Burger King as a cook. It's not glamorous but it's some money.
