I have this problem. I could be saying a sarcastic comment and people would take it seriously and answer as if I didn't know it already, and most times I feel like they think I'm dumb because the things I joke about are super obvious. And yes, I exaggerate my sarcasm tone to make sure they notice I'm not being for real, but they still do.

And I wonder if they think I'm being serious for being disabled, because maybe they think disabled people can't tell jokes(?) or maybe I'm too autistic to know how to properly do a sarcasm comment, idk. Have you ever experienced people taking you too seriously?

Edit: For context, my disability is very visible, think of something like facial paralysis. So i always have people treating me "differently" or thinking I'm cognitively impaired before even knowing me. That's why I think that it could be disability related, but maybe I'm just paranoid at this point lol.

Preferably similar girl names that start with J and don't end with "lyn". Names in other languages are welcome too as long as they aren't too obviously from another culture.

Niche but I hate this "style", and when people sing songs that have original strong and challenging vocals, say "Girl on fire" by Alicia Keys in this way, losing all the song's strengths and intentions.

I put her as an example but even Olivia Rodrigo has songs that people manage to sing more in this whispery style than her, avoiding every high or sustained notes, and that to me just seems like you're not confident in your singing skills.

It's my birthday and I've already received three flower arrangements from people (family members) that know I hate to deal with flowers and two of them said "I know you don't like flowers but...".

I don't want to be ungrateful, I said thank you and everything but it's just not practical. For some reason a flower smell (I can't figure out which one) reminds me of what church smells like so now my living room smells like church to not religious me. Plus I have a cat so I have to research each and every flower on the arrangement and as I said I hate dealing with flowers.

I'm not religious at all but I just think this name is gorgeous, I've been in a bit of an obsession with the phantom of the opera and I just find the name very elegant and feminine, sure the fact that the actress is so pretty helps too. I love the nickname Chrissy for a little girl.

Cons are that, as I said, I'm not religious and people would think I am, also not a fan of similar names like Christina, Kristen or Kristin. The only possible nickname I like for the name is Chrissy. And people say that the name is too old fashioned and not ready to make a "comeback".

Disclaimer: I'm not pregnant or about to name anyone or anything, I just like to talk about names. 😅

I HATE catching colds, so I would avoid them anyway but it still gets on my nerves. Why do people lie like this? For you to not worry about them? Because I'd care more about not getting horribly sick for my own well being and family's, being quite honest.

This also applies when a person I live with denies being sick until it's too obvious and they can't deny it anymore, WEAR A MASK.

I'm in my mid 20s and since I was a teen I've known that I'm not neurotypical. At some point when I was a teen I insisted my mom to take me to a psychologist or psychiatrist to see if I actually had something like ADHD, my mom didn't want to take me anywhere and got so fed up for my insistence that she yelled at me "I didn't have a r-word daughter!".

Well, fast forward to a couple months ago, I went to a psychiatrist because of sleeping issues and even if I didn't mention it myself, he did some assessments and, it turns out that my mom did have an ND daughter.

And even if I always thought that being diagnosed would feel validating, now I can't stop thinking that my mom, family and probably other people would think less of me because of my diagnosis. If they already didn't have a good impression of me this makes it worse.

Not actively searching for a name for a child or anything, I woke up randomly thinking about "Cherry" since there's a korean idol who has it as a nickname and I think it's quite cute. So I'm wondering what occidental names could use it as a nickname too? I'm not a fan of Cheryl or similar names tbh.

Not to say that you didn't like the song or understand it before certain situation occurred, but that, said situation made it "click" more and/or changed your perspective on the song.

When I was in 3rd grade my school was looking for a substitute teacher for us, so they had some teachers doing demo lessons (auditioning to be our new teacher by teaching us for a day).

A teacher started her class by making us stand up one by one to say our name and our favorite thing to do, so when it was my turn I said exactly that and sat down. She asked me to stand up and say my name again since she didn't understand me.

She made me repeat my name over and over again "till getting it right", the thing here is that I have an obvious speech impediment and I just can't pronounce things right. Even other classmates were telling her that I could not pronounce it right. She had me standing there in front of everyone for what felt like hours to me until she finally let me sit down again.

This lowkey made me develop some trauma around saying my name out loud. Every time I have to say it I rather write it down or if I can't do that I just spell it and my voice gets shaky so it's harder for me to speak understandably. The more I think about it the more nervous i get and the less I can say it. which you can imagine is a huge inconvenience for day to day life.

When I was a teen (F, mid 20's) I remember I had some fainting episodes but I remember it very vaguely, so I can't tell if it actually ever happened.

It mostly "happened" when I was in the shower, but it also happened sometimes while working out (in my room). Can you relate to this symptoms?

- Feeling cold but a bit warm at the same time in all my body, kind of like when your arms/legs get numb and I felt weak

- While in the shower the water falling on me felt disorienting and almost aggressive

- I started seeing blurry like static and lose my vision/feeling my ears numb and hearing as if i was underwater until i couldn't hear anymore

- I lost sensation in all my body, I used to lay against the wall or grab onto something but i couldn't feel it because I was numb, so I just got to trust that I was holding it

- I couldn't feel myself breathing

- I'd fully pass out just sometimes.

This would last like a few minutes, if I didn't end up fainting, I don't remember how long I would pass out for but I'd wake up very lethargic and it was super hard to get myself all the way to my bed to sleep. Looking back it feels too detailed to not be real but It all feels like a dream, so I can't tell.

My periods are almost a week long, the first 4 days being the worst (but manageable), I'm an adult but still live with my parents and my mom hates tampons and even now as an adult she doesn't allow me to buy them.

I never run errands myself and as I can't ask her. I buy them myself whenever i can which is not too often so I always have a limited supply, so I use tampons only once or twice in my period usually in my 3 or 4 day, like now, and it's literally the best feeling to feel comfortable to move again after days of horror.

It's sang by a male singer and as it paces up his voice goes from normal to kind of (happy) screaming. I saw it on ballet trends which is very niche but for my knowledge it was used on other kind of videos and even ads, like it's a very known song if you go on tiktok or even YouTube. As the song sped up they would change clips quicker.

And Idk if I remember correctly but the name was long and didn't make much sense, and it had the word "cat" on it.

I did something very very stupid and hurt a friend who unfriended me for it, the thing is that I did that while trying to educate her and genuinely meant no harm which no one else sees that way (all our friends rooted for her).

I've never liked to excuse myself with being autistic but I feel that if I wasn't autistic I would have known that what i did was the stupidest thing i could do. I'm thinking on improving myself and actually trying to stop being this selfish and thinking about the other person first, but how am I supposed to know what the other person feels.

I literally did not see how that situation could've gone wrong the way it did, so how am I supposed to know that in the future? Part of me thinks that I still have the "it's because I'm autistic" thing engrained in my brain so that's what I can't see less selfish outcomes. So now I'm wondering how to change that. I have never felt more doomed and angry at myself, I suck so much and feel like deserve the worse for being a bad human being.
