If you didn't know that asking questions for someone to know how to accommodate them better, implies that you want something from them and it also meant indirectly asking them to get something for you too if they comply this implicit demand.

| Why the heck is my mom worried that my leg is going to scar? It's not like I'd participate in any beauty pageants or become some escort for a job at any point of my life. :roll: Or ever interested in attracting any person... Or interested to show skin too often. Also why so concerned? Can't people a... |

| If I like them. I haven't regularly brushed my teeth since I started being bullied at work many years ago. The stress of the pandemic did not help with that. I'm not sure what it would take to start regularly brushing my teeth again. Self respect? To me, it's not 'self-respect'. Self-respect is mor... |

In my own case, it's inconsistent.
Certain people gives me certain patterns, and not just based on my relationship with them or the statuses between them.
But mostly it's just me, what I'm feeling and thinking at the moment. |

| Up to 120USD per month is electricity alone. It's higher than rent. Also I'm not paying for it. Also it's not me in the house who's consuming it.

| I deal with it for most of my life and never get used to it. It's my main source of sensory overwhelm, it's the main reason why I get sick at all, it's also my main source of bullying and social ridicule, it's my main source of literal headache and stress. To a point itself overshadows every problem... |

Wanting a female only gym.
It's not just me, really.
My mom wants it. My boss wants it. My cousins wants it. My coworkers wants it. My other boss' coworkers would want it. My friends wants it. My friends on Facebook wants it. |

My boss is pissed.
And I'm in my less reliable state.
Will be hectic all week again.
I guess just the idea of having to go to work just procrastinates me from going to sleep early!... |

| Why I say irrelevant things that just pisses my boss off. I don't have ADHD. If impulsivity is a behavioral trait that I have, then it's egodystonic. Why I deny certain thoughts -- it's not like anyone's going to read my mind. It's not even harmful -- but it's painfully awkward maybe shameful. So wh... |
