Today I thought I was ready to skate down this slightly steep trail and about halfway through my legs and feet started shaking and I could tell I was gonna fall

How do I stop this from happening again? I tried pressing my feet down more to create more balance but it just made it worse and eventually my right foot fell under me and I landed on my ass

Like on sniffies or grindr, or do u think its unsafe?

I'm 18 and new to this, I'm also nervous asf dude. We're only gonna be doing side play but my heart is beating like crazy lol

This is a vent, I don't mind advice but I would appreciate some support

My mom stopped taking me and my siblings to the dentist when I was about 7, right around the same time she moved us away from our dad who was emotionally/mentally abusive towards her. So for about the last 11 years of my life I've had maybe like 2 dental checkups, and those two were only because I had to basically beg for them. Most of the people around my age have straight teeth meanwhile mine legit make me look like a hillbilly🤦‍♂️

Now I have a narrow palate (my tongue barely fits inside my mouth and I can barely even mew because my tongue will just slide back forward again, theres just not enough space.) Its not constantly uncomfy, but its not really comfortable either

I also have an open bite, a big front tooth gap, and probably a recessed maxilla based on my side profile. My front teeth also flare out and are tilted inwards like a wide V shape that annoyingly push against the back of my front lip

I don't know if part of this is maybe my fault, but I don't remember ever thumb sucking past the age of four, or maybe I forgot. All I know is that I wish I could've gotten braces early

My mom is also abusive and has a severe phobia of going outside, so that's also another reason why she stopped taking me and my older siblings to the dentist. She has our oldest brother do all her paperwork and general adult duties for her. As soon as she moved us into a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment, we basically became shut ins. She would literally scream at me whenever I said I wanted to go outside and just simply ride my damn scooter.🤦‍♂️Like who tf is gonna kidnap me?? We lived in a gated apartment complex p. s I did it anyways and no one gave a shit. God forbid I just wanna live a regular life, and then she wonders why I had severe social anxiety at school. You basically isolated us

Now I understand she had to do what she had to do at the time to get away from him. It was obviously not easy for her, and it still isn't. I'm grateful and extremely glad we at least have a place to stay. Having to raise 4 kids on your own is a struggle. But it still just frustrates me because now I'll have to financially fix it myself as a broke ass college student. And how does her struggle excuse the fact that she basically neglected us?? I know its messed up, but sometimes I wish she just left me there with my dad and took my siblings. Obviously he's a misogynistic asshole so that was probably for the better. But sometimes I wonder how differently I would've ended up if I was given the choice to stay.

I barely even understood what was going on when we moved away. All I know was it was midnight and she was dragging me by my hand down the driveway telling me we had to leave. Then she'd have to drive each of us to school every morning after her long CNA shift because we obviously lived out of school zone at the time, so we couldn't take the bus.

Cue the next 11 years of my life spent in crowded apartments, having to either share a room and a bed with my older sister or sleep on the couch...I gave my sister the room and took the couch after I turned about 13. Mainly because she can't stand my mom and my mom sleeps in the living room, and if they were to sit next to each other for more than 5 mins they'd bite each others heads off. And that's also when I hit puberty.

So now my designated space as an 18 year old man is a 5'2 long couch, its actually embarassing to type out but yeah, thats where I mainly stay. Luckily I'm not that tall so I have some space. And yes I'm already in the plans of moving out before mid 2027. Just need to get a job and then find a roommate.

Another reason why I hate her so much is because she has literally 'secretly' masturbated in the living room...while I was there. Bro. And obviously when it happened I was a dumb scared 13 year old so I didn't say anything. But I'm still disgusted to this day. Like wtf man. Just typing it out makes me fuckin nauseous

She even blatantly played porn on full volume once while I was asleep in the morning. I was maybe 13 or 14 and I woke up so confused until I realized what was going on.

Like bro wtf?? It feels like I'm tweaking because who else has even gone through something like this? I can't talk about it to any of my friends because its fucking weird and will probably make me look even weirder since shes my mom.

Another thing I can't mention to anyone is how she cleaned me until I was about 11. Like I mean she would literally wash me in the shower herself. Every morning. Up until I entered 6th grade in 2019 and she decided that was when I could have the freedom to wash myself 🤦‍♂️. She infantallized me and my siblings so fucking much growing up, I'm still trying to undo the effects it had on me to this day. She still does but she's cooled down a little these days

She's also done some unspeakable things to my sister that obviously isn't my business to tell but overall she's just a terrible person

Moving on from that, the only times I usually saw my dad was when he'd drive us to the clinic to get our yearly shots, because obviously our mom was too much of a shut in to do the bare minimum of at least bringing us in for regular check ups 🤦‍♂️

I can't even get a job right now to afford treatment because someone recently stole my phone and I'm in the process of trying to buy a new one. I had a job about 2 months ago before I quit and even then I couldn't afford the $260 plan a month for aligners that this one orthodonic clinic that I went to offered me. Which was lowkey embarassing. I was only working part time and it would've consumed too much of my income that I needed to save up for a car and moving out

The only thing I'm really looking forward to is starting college in the next month...another thing she screamed at me for in the car, for abt 10 straight minutes. Because apparently only bums go to technical and community colleges. Meanwhile she never even attended high school, ffs

I can't wait to finally leave this shithole

I'm hoping someone here could help me out, let me give some context

I lost my phone about a week ago, and I can't retrieve it. Because of this I need to log into my sofi acc online to transfer my funds into my checkings acc, so I can buy a new phone.

I don't remember my password so I had to call the support line 4 hours ago, where they helped me change my primary phone number to a new one so I could send the verification code there instead. The problem is it's been 4 hours, and I've tried and refreshed the page 10+ times to see if its been updated, but it still shows the old one. I don't really know what to do, because they sent me an email confirming that it changed.

Is it possible that I'm just being impatient and need to wait a day for it to change? Or should I call again

I know this all sounds ridiculous but its really irritating me and I just want to access my acc already

Not asking in bad faith or intention, I was just recently learned of this condition

I started understanding I didn't feel typical romantic attraction in middle school, and stopped having crushes in 5th grade

I wish I could fall in love and experience romance like lietarlly 99% of the population but I literally cant, my brain literally just doesnt care for it at all

No matter how much I try to imagine myself in a romantic situation with anyone, its generally off putting to me and I can't even imagine myself in a relationship with super attractive celebrities

I kinda don't understand why I was born like this, romantic attraction is really useful for more efficient reproducing so basically im dsyfunctional

sigh im also high function autistic

ask me anything guys i will answer

I've been on this app for 5 years by now, and i think ive reached my final breaking point

All I literally did, was make a post on the Tacoma, Washington sub reddit, asking if anyone found a red IPhone at a popular park in the area, and got my post fully deleted...by some random moderator of that sub reddit that I know I already have experience with

Because I literally experienced the same incident several months ago when I was trying to promote a sub reddit for Tacoma Community college, since I'm going there in the fall. I had several people in the comments who genuinely responded, talking about their experiences attending the college, and it still got removed...which I understand falls under promotion. But all I did now was just try to ask if anyone found my damn phone

It's literally 12 AM right now in Washington, and my post was removed about 30 minutes ago

Which means some fuckass, hillbilly, chronically online ass chud stayed up until 11:30 PM at night just to delete some random post simply asking if anyone found their phone

its not like i was asking if anyone knew where to find a strip club

Bro I hate the fuckass moderators of this app theyre all prententious pieces of literal dog s h i t

I don't even care that much that my post was deleted, it's the fact that they get to remove whatever post they want based on the most hyper specific rules ever

i need to go to sleep

I hope I can post this here incase anyone has seen it or has it, because moderators deleted my post in diff area

Has anyone seen or found a red iphone at Sprinkler Recreation park?

I went to Sprinkler Recreation park today and I could swear my phone was in my pocket the whole time, and then when I started walking home it wasn't in my pockets or my bag. My pockets are deep so I know theres no way my phone accidentally fell out and I don't remember placing it anywhere :(

i retraced my steps across everyplace i sat down or walked, and it was nowhere to be found

if i left it somwhere then some kids on ebikes/scooters probably took it

im not even mad mostly just frustrated because I dont want to have to buy a new phone, and i dont have the money either

I'd appreciate if anyone who was there on 7/30/26 and has it, return it, ill even give you $50 bucks out of my own wallet to return it if you have it, I just want it back

the phone case is clear and the phone is red

I was thinking of heading down to the Wapato lake trail to rollerblade there instead of the sprinkler recreation trail

edit I'd appreciate any recommendations of places near Spanaway/south Tacoma

I feel like there's not much to do here in parkland, Tacoma

Whenever I look up activities to do here in 'Tacoma', all the activities or events are located near downtown Tacoma, there's legit nothing here near the southern/spanaway side of Tacoma except for the Sprinkler recreation center n strip malls... what the hell y'all

I'm referring to the type that require 24/7 care, are completely non-verbal, moderately to severely intellectually disabled, and have poor motor skills.

What would happen to them and how would they behave?

I'm level 1 autistic myself and when I smoke THC I feel more neurotypical

I got this blood test last Wednesday in the morning, I hadn't ate anything and only drank a couple sips of water before I headed to the clinic since I was nervous
I'm 5'5 114 lbs and still gaining weight

Is it possible that impacted my results? Either way, what can I do to up my count? I don't want to have a weak immune system
My rbc was 6.45 though
