Is it normal and good to date or go out with multiple people at once so you can be objective about who's the best match for you? How come I seem unable to do that? Even if I'm simply just starting to get to know someone, I can't get to know others with the intention of dating them at the same time. I feel this is some sort of hindrance. But at the same time, It's like I have a short attention span and can only focus on one person, if I were to focus on alot then the relationships would be very superficial because I wouldnt get to know them as deeply as i'd like.
Another question that I'm not sure if is related with the one above, but I just can't make friends……….unless i'm romantically interested in the person
at most i can make acquitances, but never close friends…. is this weird?

>>940707>Is it normal and good to date or go out with multiple people at once Absolutely. Men do it to you. Hell this is how girls dated in the 50s. You go out on dates and hold off on fucking any of them until they take you seriously. Having a roster also ensures you don't get oneitis and become a pickme for anybody, as well as lessens the sting of ghosting. "Focusing on one person" …yeah just don't focus on anybody outside of the date. If they want your full "focusing" theyll earn it with commitment.

If I still can't pick up on social cues even after being bullied does it mean i'm extra retarded? Apparently some people who get bullied eventually learn to blend in or hide their weirder traits but I've never been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong, even when people get downright pissed at me because they never tell me or explain what I did wrong.

And it's not just about when wondering about quality of life, it's pretty much always. Surely Americans wouldn't appreciate having their country constantly bagged with everything else on the NA continent.
Here's essentially what you're doing when you're asking about Europe: "What's the quality of life in North-America?" "Should I move to North-America? Do people dislike foreigners there?" "Do people in North-America really do x thing?" "Do North Americans speak Spanish well?" You can see how that's completely nonsensical when you know the US is wildy different from Haiti, Canada is wildy different from Porto Rico, Mexico is different from Honduras.

Because they're the ones who spend the money on figures and figures make money. Back in the day there was merch for women too, like handbags, makeup bags, shoes, and other random cute stuff.

Its a weird thing I started to notice.

Is it rude to ask my parents for money? I moved out years ago and pay my own rent and bills, but I realize that a lot of people my age (very early 20s) are heavily supported by their parents. Since I don't go to school it's not like they are using a college fund on me or anything. I feel like if they sent me just like, $150 a month it would just ease up on how frugal I have to be with buying groceries. They haven't ever talked about it but they also never offered. Is it weird that I feel a little bit entitled to some help? They're middle class Americans btw so they're not like living paycheck to paycheck or anything. They live comfortably.

It’s the same as dating and overly-religious retard, it’s tiresome to always talk about the same shit and about how -insert opposite religious group- is bad because reasons.
Like, living with some paranoid asshat that will think about you “cucking” them with whatever color gives them phobia, who
will be rude at other people making everything awkward and who
will try to make everything about race is tiresome.
And everyone is mildly racist because of the way everyone has been raised, which is why it’s better to clean up the psychological baggage by making sure the spergs never feel welcomed in any normal spaces.

I don't know where to post this and I might get hate for this but it's a genuine question. Is ADHD nowadays just a scapegoat for people to blame all their bad/lazy habits on? I especially see a lot of self-diagnosed people post shit like this, and stuff like "ADHD is having 100 things to do but instead just stare at the wall all day". Like, I really don't understand ADHD. I have autism and there are a million things that I could blame my autism for, but I don't. I actually get shit done because I have very clear goals. I also cringe when I see zoomers on tiktok "stimming" (aka flapping their hands like a tard) because I've been around more autists than I can count and I have literally never seen anyone do that irl. That's why I'm kinda suspicious about this ADHD "trend"
No. 945696
>>945640Many ‘Adhd’ diagnosises may just be the result of scrolling five second tik toks whilst listening to spotify and watching a stream for hours everyday. Constant overstimulation and dopamine obviously makes it hard to concentrate. But many doctors would rather shill medication to 12 year olds and give them the special, quirky diagnosis they want instead of helping them consider a lifestyle change.
On the ‘stimming’, I’ve known an autistic girl for a very long time. She indeed flapped her hands under stress or excitement, had extensive knowledge on computer hardware from a young age (her obsession ), forgets normal facial expressions, and forgets to speak at a normal volume very often. I know flapping/stimming is a thing for some true and honest autists like her, but these kids are just looking for an identity.

>>945906Oh yay my time has come! That vape will work best with regular or technically “freebase” nicotine, as opposed to salt nicotine (like the stuff in the juul, all those disposable vapes, which tl:dc the difference is they hit like cigarettes but are kind of harsh). The One is a vape juice brand I am super partial to the marshmallow flavor of, tastes like vanilla marshmallowy custardy goodness. Or, if thats a bit too sweet for your taste, vapetasia makes killer custard which is a less dense custard vanilla flavor, and there are strawberry and other fruit + custard varieties from that brand. If you dont smoke nicotine, good and keep it that way, get the 0 nicotine. If you are using it to try and quit, I’d recommend using 6%, it’s a difficult adjustment period but I believe in you anon! Chocolate in a vape is always disgusting in my experience (please take my word), but if you are so determined, my recommendation would be Candy King’s Cookie King flavor chocolate cream, it’s the most tolerable I’ve found. I havent seen one of those devices in years, you may want to look into picrel. A bit of an investment but it’s user friendly and easy to operate for a beginner. It’s called the freemax twister. The tank that comes with it has easy to find replacement coils, and it tastes better than that (no offense) dino-vape. I have a big version on my tank and a cactus fruit flavor in right now, happy vaping!

He always randomly tells me things about himself and recently he has started doing this thing where he calls me for a work related issue, then halfway through the call the conversation shifts to informal things (books we like, movies we have seen, etc) and we talk for more than an hour. Yesterday he did this thing where he walked me through step-by-step how a certain software works and he deliberately made me freeze it (to show that a certain combination of steps triggers the freeze) and used this time to have a chit chat. He also constantly reassures me that even if I make a mistake, it's perfectly okay and no one's going to hang me for it. We usually take calls but one time we had a video chat and he noted that he tidied and cleaned up the mess he had behind him just for this video call

Just realising that they're always there, it's more of a case of out of sight, out of mind. The best my arachnophobia got though was seeing a medium sized wolf spider in a room I rarely went to, and I told it it can stay there so long as it hides.
In my current apartment which is in a 200 year old townhouse, I actually have at least 8 not very scary spiders that sit in little corners around the window/heater, and I can directly see their effectiveness because my plants have fngus gnats so there are tiny fly corpses scatter underneath their webs, like 50 each.
Still, Tegenaria terrify me and I just hope I have a strong enough other species of spider ecosystem in here that they stay away.

What is the "stigma" surrounding hickeys based on? I wish I understood, I just don't see why you should be ashamed of it. I understand covering it up in a professional setting or when meeting people for the first time, but only because you do not want to immediately reveal something so personal to them. However, overall, it is just a result of intimacy. Nearly all humans are intimate with a lover, so I don't see why it is weird. I loved giving my boyfriend hickeys and absolutely covering his neck in them, especially because people would tease him. But still, I don't actually understand WHY they tease him. What is embarrassing about having a cute girl kissing and licking you willingly? One time we were buying food late at night at a fast food joint and the worker teased my boyfriend relentlessly. I enjoyed it of course, since he was clearly embarrassed yet attempting to act cool. However, I don't see why one would be embarrassed… I hope I do not sound narcissistic saying this, but me holding his hand and leaning against him should imply I was the one who gave the hickeys, and I am an attractive girl. So what is embarrassing? This will sound cocky, but we all know how men are… That worker would love to have a girl like me kiss him like I kissed my boyfriend. So where is the embarrassing or awkward part?? Where is the cause for shame?? I don't get it. Am I autistic? Sorry if I sound egotistical, I am just trying to reason through the eyes of a scrote.

How do I stop or refrain myself from being insufferable due to my aspergers and ADHD? I don't need a thorough analysis or anything, I've pretty much done what's mine to do in order to improve my functionality.
What I'm asking is how do I know when/if to leave someone alone and when to approach them etc. or if I should give up on trying to always know things I can't really know. Perspective from someone who's had to deal with others like these is valuable to me. After figuring out the bigger picture instead of being perpetually confused by everything, I think I'm finally ready to hear about the unfiltered specifics of what I shouldn't do in a social situation or a personal one on one encounter.
Anything make-or-breakish I need to specifically watch out for? What kind of things or emotional/social skills do some of you value in a person?

>>950050If you're struggling, be honest and say you have autism, people tend to be more understanding of your fuckups.
Limit yourself to 3 short sentences on a topic you fixate on. This reduces the chances that you'll bore someone to death without realizing it. When someone is talking to you, nod every so often, and make eye contact/look in their direction every so often, it shows that you're listening to them. 9/10 times when someone says they want advice what they really want is to rant, so let them rant and then say something bland like 'Wow, that sounds intense. Have you tried _ ?' Even if you can give them a step by step guide on how to fix their issues, don't. You'll come across as an insufferable bitch and seeing people repeatedly make retarded decisions that you've warned them about will stress you out. Just let them make their mistakes in peace. A lot of the time, people don't mean what they say. Learn what kinds of social niceties and small talk is common in your area so you don't embarrass yourself. For example, if someone says 'Oh, we should go for coffee soon!' it's more of a polite conversation filler than an actual invitation. If in doubt, shut up. Learn to control the volume and tone of your voice, it's easy to come across as bitchy if you say things in the wrong tone.
There are resources online that cover this in much more detail, these are just the things that I've learnt through being a cringe ADHD retard. In general, learning to be more self aware helps a lot, as does apologizing when you fuck up.
No. 950148
>>950050I think the insufferable behavior of aspies is at least amplified by them not thinking about other perspectives and lacking awareness of their shortcomings. The fact that you're concerning yourself with how you come across and what others think is already an advantage.
As for concrete tips: when people seem unresponsive and don't return the same enthousiasm in interactions, that's probably a sign to leave them alone (provided it's not because they're struggling with something emotional). You might want to figure out what's up but pushing when the other person is reluctant to open up will make them feel uncomfortable. The opposite is also true; if they seem excited to talk about something, the best thing you can do is ask questions and show interest.
>What kind of things or emotional/social skills do some of you value in a person?Generally, things I value are listening skills, ability to be optimistic, and showing interest in talking about a broad range of topics instead of just a few specific hyperfixations. I don't know if you tend to do this at all, but something to watch out for could be oversharing. Especially with not so positive topics, it can put the other person in an awkward position. Of course being open is generally a good thing, but it should never be one sided.
>if I should give up on trying to always know things I can't really knowTo some extent I think it's good to come to terms with never really knowing for sure how people feel about you. Worrying about it too much is only going to make you insecure and anxious. Easier said than done of course, but still.

>>950148>>950147Thanks, these make sense. I think I'll advance into broadening my horizons a bit when it comes to interesting topics and unfamiliar constructs. If patient, intent listening truly makes people happy I'm ready to improve that skill. It's probably more about how our counterparts 'feel' heard that helps them understand that they're actually appreciated.
I think I'll also give up on trying to exactly know what's going to happen in a social situation, or life in general. Everybody seems to have a clue but nobody actually 'knows' knows if it makes sense. We're all basically deciphering the same clues, it's just that I'm slower on the commonly made connections and keener on the details. I might be in the minority but I need to remember that I'm not alone.
Man I just really like people. People are so interesting to me. Can't point out the line between a natural gravitation and a special fixation/interest, but damn, I'm just really into people and wanting to be prosocial is an intrinsic part of it. Like at the same time it's a positive energy I want to share with others but on the other hand it's a whole history of autisticly inclined research on how humans are and why. Anyway thanks nonnies.

I already know the answer is that Japan's population density can support a massive number of stores and that's how they can be so cheap.

How do I know if someone is abusive or just has anger issues? are the steps you have to take different? the same?
I have anger issues and can say cruel stuff i genuinely don't mean at all, it's like i explode, but the cruel stuff I say doesn't come from a place of wanting to exert control or power over the person i lash out over or come from a place of fear of abandonment, it's just plain anger. There's no motive behind it. I suppose anger issues can lead someone to be abusive (like in my case) but how do you know someone is being abusive because of anger issues or not? for example someone recently lashed out at me, it was all of a sudden. It was similar to how i've lashed out before in the way that the reaction far exceeded the stressor and that their words were very cruel (If i'm being fair when i'm abusive i never actually direct the cruel words at them, i always leave and say them elsewhere, where they cant hear, and then after i've cooled down i apologize and tell them what i held back from saying because I feel so bad from having felt that way), but it was also different because they still haven't apologized. After it happened they just seemed to calm down, acted like nothing happened ie didn't acknowledge the incident, and just went to sleep. But maybe that was only because I didn't react at all, because I was in shock. I looked it up later and that's apparently the best way to respond in a situation like that. I did it unintentionally. That's also something that was different in how i've reacted after exploding, they didn't ask how I felt, and they couldn't have assumed fine because I wasn't talking, didn't even say goodnight back. I know there is a need to normalize the fact that once there is abuse the relationship is over, so they didn't wake up to find i was still there in the morning, and i'm very proud of myself for that. Maybe I would have stayed if they had apologized immediately after they said what they did. They have been calling me since, wanting to "talk", but never apologizing or mentioning intention of that being what they want the topic of conversation to be around. Part of me wishes they would just apologize. But then what? is leaving also the answer for someone that has anger issues?

>>956814I've used both and they each have their pros and cons. Depends on your personal preferences and what you want to use your phone for. Androids are nice since they're generally more customizable, will allow you to sideload APKs and access "unofficial" apps (pirated versions of paid apps, or things like game emulators), and a lot of them have expandable storage, although I don't know if that's changed in recent years.
Tbh if you live somewhere where the majority of people use Android phones I'd just go with that. A nice plus to iPhones is the imessage system which makes texting/video calling people with other iPhones (or Apple devices in general) is so convenient, but it won't matter if everybody else is on an Android. Also, if you're outside the USA, I'd automatically say go with Android since Apple products will be even more expensive.
As far as specific models, I can't really offer any useful recommendations. I liked my Samsung Galaxy a lot, maybe check out their latest models? I wouldn't overthink it too much though. Honestly, if you've never had one before, I think any 2021 flagship smartphone would be pretty cool even if it's not necessarily the one with the greatest camera or fastest processor or whatever.

I want a genuine learning experience where I can stay motivated to learn and draw. Is there even a chance at genuine friendship at distance cultural exchanges?

>>957122I think historically it's like
>long hair is impractical and hard to keep looking clean and good>hair loss and brittle hair are a symptom of many diseases and nutritional deficiencies>therefore decently thick long hair shows you're wealthy enough to have time/resources to take care of it and healthy enough to not have it fall outNowadays these aren't really relevant so who knows what kind of arbitrary societal factors have influenced the fetishizing of long hair since, but I'm pretty sure this is how it started. I guess long hair is still often seen as impractical -> not suitable for a rough physical lifestyle that is considered 'manly' -> therefore long hair = feminine

>>957144Long hair was generally the desired style for women in the west until about the start of WWI. So it's true that long hair fell out of fashion for a while in the 20th century, but by then hairstyle already didn't say as much about health or wealth as it did before. For most of western history, including the ancient Greeks, Vikings, medieval times, etc, long hair was seen as ideal. The same goes for many Asian cultures. I'm not so sure about African cultures though, African hair types tend to respond differently to grooming and length so their historical ideals may differ too.
In any case it's a stupid beauty standard for sure but long hair seems to have been the norm for women up until the last 100 years or so.

>>957206Too much. Assuming you are a burger, pretty much no banks have even a 1% interest rate for savings (though someone can correct me if I'm wrong and I'd be glad to move my savings elsewhere). Ally used to have one of the highest rates and they have a high yield interest rate, but right now that's still a measly 0.50%. If you are very risk averse and do not need the money immediately/that is not your emergency fund, you'd be better off buying US bonds which still have a very low interest rate at around ~2%. Otherwise, buy into an index fund that seeks market average returns that is about ~8%. A savings account is just for savings or emergency money, you don't put money into a savings account hoping for it to grow anything meaningful. Like
>>957210 said, you honestly lose more money by keeping it in there than actually investing it because of inflation.
Sorry for the money sperg. I am not a financial guru or anything so take my word with a gain of salt but I heavily implore you to look into basic investing/index funds/etc so your money doesn't just waste away. You do not have to take high risk and invest only in stocks to grow your money. Also someone please correct me if I'm wrong lol No. 957293

>>958214I feel like you are probably thread-worthy yourself
nonnie with this very specific advice, I don't even want to know what [redacted] is.
>>958204>>958149This, men should all be treated like they have cooties and given the cold shoulder at all times. Give them nothing. The less you give them the more they will adore you so it's win-win, energy conserved and better treatment.
Find your passion (especially creative stuff) and make sure you spend time on it every day. Music, art, whatever it is that's productive and gives you something you can be proud of.
Don't compare yourself to others. Appreciate those who are kind to you and pay no heed to strangers and those who aren't. You aren't responsible for what happens in other people's heads. Don't take nudes and don't send them to anyone or post them if you do. See above about giving men nothing.
Retain your privacy as much as you can in our surveillance capitalist world. Do nor invest in bitcoin or take part in anything that has an army of cult members attached to it (TRA and Bitcoin/NFTs being two good examples)
Ignore trends. Everything popular now will be considered mad trash ten years from now, just do whatever you feel like that is safe and makes you happy. Internet numbers mean nothing.
Eat and drink as well (fresh, high quality) as you can afford, your energy and mental health are inmediately affected by the freshness and quality of food and drink. Don't take any one thing you see or read too seriously.
There's money, bias, and many other factors affecting both media and people's opinions. There is no ultimate truth, just create a healthy, happy path for yourself within the limitations (health, gender, location, opportunity) you are given.
Don't get cosmetic surgery. There's nothing wrong with you. Listen to your instincts, you are right about most things.
Surround yourself with things and people you love. Love yourself.

Why can't I do things I want to do while procrastinating? I've spent 6 hours at my desk staring at my work with no intention of doing it. I could have been playing my bass, taking a nap or at least listening to some good music.

My boyfriends little brothers (late teens) are going to be taking care of our pets while we're away so I suggested to that we lock away our liquor cabinet or send it to a friends place, but bf says we don't need to because they don't drink.
Is this a normal thing or is my bf just trusting them too much? It feels like a bad idea to leave liquor around teen boys. I did not grow up around alcohol so I don't know the rules around this stuff.

Did I seriously underestimate the number of British men who have raped escorts/prostitutes? I assumed that not many men did, but I went on a site that is mainly filled with British people, and they all seemed okay with the idea of paying for a prostitue, with some saying that paying a woman for a drink is basically the same as paying for a prostitute, men saying that it's perfectly normal, and even a pickme saying that if a guy has gone to a prostitute in the past, and eventually gets a gf, it's 'none of her business' to know

>>958149I know you have no passion for anything but logically speaking, you should choose what your grades reflect you're good at, not what everyone else is doing. You'll save yourself so many useless wasted fucking years. DO NOT listen to anyone– take Maths, Further Maths, Econ and maybe a writing-based AS if you must. Have more confidence in your intelligence, you wouldn't be there if you weren't capable of it. You think it's okay to chill and vibe because you can always "just retake" lmao dumbass mentality. Go fucking STUDY. Don't forget how rewarding EFFORT can be. Move out first year when you go to university.
Stop wasting time on kpop nigs. Waste of time, money and you're killing your own social skills. Use that energy towards building yourself. You'll probably still be a depressed piece of shit knowing you, but at least on the surface level you'll look like you have some things together and you wont be such a pathetic disappointment. I can't stress how much you cannot let that small confidence you have left in you disappear. Take the risk.

>>958431>>958469No, that poster is wrong. "Exchange pleasantries" is neutral and means the same thing as making small talk more or less, but usually in a more professional context. It just means that you're asking something normal like "hi how's your family" because you don't know the person very well. When two businesspeople have a meeting they exchange pleasantries as a matter of course, it doesn't mean they hate the other person.
Your coworker was just being kind of sarcastic/glib, implying you both know you're only "exchanging pleasantries" to be professional and are both aware of it - him saying that is actually treating you more familiarly/in a friendly way, while with someone he actually didn't like he would just be like "yes and the weather is nice". Like, he's kind of saying you don't need to have a professional facade around him and can just chill.
Now there are also some socially awkward redditor types who will be like "yes let's exchange pleasantries" to ameliorate their own anxiety about having a normal social interaction. But they don't really mean any harm by it, usually, even though it comes off as such.

>>958426Having to listen to the way gross old British men talk about prostitutes and e-whores was enough to convince me that sex work should be banned and that those who solicit sex should be locked away forever. It's absolutely vile, and I don't think these 'people' will stop seeing women as objects until we stop allowing women to sell access to their bodies, consensually or not.
I used to think that most men wouldn't be sleazy enough to pay for prostitutes, let alone rape them, but after hearing how some of them talk about women when they're alone I honestly don't know anymore. Men, especially British men, are disgusting on the whole. I would certainly never trust a man who has gone anywhere near prostitution.
