I hope this isn’t rude to ask. I’m bi myself.

I’m picking up on little signs like the Max Martin studio photos and the sexy solo dance she posted today that felt very choreographed just for her. Not even necessarily leaving the group but maybe doing solo projects at the same time?

Title

I keep having this experience during consults and I’m not sure if it’s normal.

I usually do a lot of research beforehand and come in with a short list of things I’d like to discuss - usually 3-4 brief points at most about what I’m hoping to improve with a specific feature, plus maybe one or two questions. I try to be a little detailed because it seems smart to be precise upfront, so the surgeon has a clear idea of what I’m looking for and there’s less chance of surprises after surgery.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve had consults with several top surgeons, and almost inevitably, when I get even *slightly* detailed or ask questions, they seem uneasy. A few have even suggested that my level of detail might be a red flag, or that I’m overly obsessed with the feature. None of this is true. At the same time, they’ll also say they agree with the problem areas I’m pointing out, take measurements that verify I’m far off baseline from the ideal, give me a quote, and explain what they’d do surgically - so it feels confusing.

Their hesitation simply because I’m inquisitive leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It makes me worry they’ll just do their own thing rather than really consider what I want, or that they’ll get defensive if there are any post op issues.

Also why don’t celebrities who are usually fixing things that actually don’t need to be fixed face the same scrutiny from these surgeons?

This happened to me again earlier this week, and I’m honestly at the end of my rope. The consults are usually no more than 15 mins, and they almost always feel rushed.

These are all highly regarded surgeons who are considered among the best in their fields.
Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, do you have any advice?

We’ve been living together for years and he’s been verbally abusive for the majority of them. I get called “dumb” “stupid bitch” and “idiot” on the regular.

But this is the first time he’s weaponized my autism.

Unfortunately I am trapped because I cannot move out right now for financial reasons. We live in a studio apartment that feels like a prison where I have no personal space.

How do I psychologically survive this situation while I save up money? It might take me 6 months to save up enough. I don’t have any friends or other places I can go.

EDIT: As I’m writing this he just said: “I also get why all of your boyfriends got rid of you” (not even true) and started listing all of my flaws.

Trying to figure out what language is being spoken in the video and what they are saying.

Just finished it and loved the atmosphere and imagery, but was left a little confused by what the author was trying to say.

Also, what was the significance of the art gallery owner?

I apologize if this is sensitive to ask but I’ve become completely fascinated by the strange properties of El Reno since getting into tornadoes recently.
