So, I want to learn a new language. But I struggle to actually get to learning. Of course I tried duolingo, but it quickly got underwhelming, and I never actually got anything out of it. Some youtube teacher said to just listen to it in the background, my brain will "pick it up"

i Watch all my movies and cartoons in that language, but I'm not sure if it really works like that. Any help on how to learn a language as an autistic teenager?

Thing is, I love listening to this language, again, I watch movies in it with english subtitles, and I absolutely love the sound of it, but, I understand nothing, except for a few basic words I picked up.

I never really could "learn". I never learned to learn. I don't know where to find resources or how to do it. Most things I've tried failed.

Worst thing, English (my second language), just appeared randomly in my brain one day, and I can't get that same with the language I'm learning now

Why does everyone ask "oh why did you do it?" I just did. Because i felt like it, wanted to, or simply just because. Why can't people understand it's not always "coping" or "reward" or "punishment". I just do it for no reason sometimes

I don't know what happens. I took a shower after maybe a week after my mum forced me to (because i walked in a flannel and a sweater for 20km in 23°C/73°F, and was sweaty), and idk why but I hated it all. It would be okay if I just stood in the water, but I absolutely hated the rest, the shampoo the conditioner, i didn't even bother washing the body separately, hair enough made me absolutely hate it (currently sitting in front of a heater with a ton of towels to get over it)

Idk what's the advice i want. Idk any possibility of making it safe. Maybe I just need to talk about it

They're healed. But they're still visible.

I don't want a tattoo, don't want to medically remove them. Make up also probably won't work because I'll sweat it off.

As much as I don't give a hell about peers/friends/strangers seeing them, i do not want my parents to know (I'll get in trouble, and the spiral will start again)

On the internet i either heard tattoos, permanent removal, makeup or not hiding them, and well, none of it will work.

I also saw advice to cover it with hair tie, but my hair are short, plus it won't cover anything

I was dragged by my friend to agree to go on a convention. Wanted to make a cosplay, got most parts ready, but im stuck at props, i don't wanna go without one, because it'll feel empty, but I also can't find any props that I like or I'm able to make. I want something very specific but I have no idea what it is. I got a meltdown not being able to figure out what prop i want, and not being able to find one anywhere. I'm overwhelmed to the point that I don't wanna go to the convention anymore.

Why do such simple thing, that most would ignore or deal with cause a meltdown
