So for me when I was dating it was that people were never interested in me as a person, for a variety of reasons.

So for example a lot of people my age have children and look for a mother figure. Or think mothers themselves are not for serious companionship.

Or looking for what I provide as a service (free therapy).

Or it’s a money thing.

Eventually it went from annoying to exhausting. Well, it was not adding anything to my life so why bother?

I do a lot of play therapy and wear a lot of costumes. Arts and crafts necessitates shiny objects such as gemstones glitter/glue. The photo I think I’m dressed up for some silly hat day thing. I may be a crow.

My field requires a graduate degree and a board and fieldwork. I just paid it off at 38.

I think my first post here someone asked me to tell them about baking lasagnas, maybe because of the way I type. Is it also sort of an insult to imply someone is a bot?

Gossipy people.

I don’t care if it is seamless…I want to play games and enjoy art made by human brains. Because to me it’s the closest we can get to being in someone else’s experience of a thing. And yeah we still go through our own filter but this game…or song or painting is someone else’s brain creating and I’m just walking through their vision of the world.

Not capable at all would be non-verbal. This includes vocal and non-vocal verbal communication such as PECs and sign. Non-vocal is not speaking out loud. Able to speak but not doing so may be called selectively verbal.

Not trying at all could have several outcomes and reasons behavioral and medical and would not be any of these. They may not learn to read so lack literacy or may not learn properly how to speak and lack fluency in their first language.

Edit: upon reading some of your other comments, you may be thinking of delays in receptive and expressive language. Which can have many causes.

Tbh that sounds pretty darn good.

Personally, I prefer wry humor. It’s sort of difficult to encounter in the wild while staying wholesome. Nothing dark and twisted for the sake of it, but wit is somehow comforting in the right place. And clever is so engaging…

So the kind of upset stomach I’m thinking about is like stomach flu. I know you’re not supposed to have acidic or junky things when you’re so sick you can barely crawl, not sure why it’s the only thing I can tolerate when I’m sick. Hence I felt it was a pretty good answer. :p

Thanks for pointing that out. I lost about 30lbs and my face kinda took on some of those qualities. Especially the prominent bone thing and sunken eyes.

Trouble is most of them are sickly sweet.

Working in a majority minority school is really depressing atm. Makes me feel so bitter towards people. These babies are just learning.

Sad tummy+lemon lime soda = healed

When I see this kind of thing I lean towards communication skills, emotional immaturity, and impulsivity enabled by just sitting behind a screen rather than being face-to-face with someone.

I’ve seen some Reddit-like behavior here, but thankfully not very much, and I personally don’t engage/respond.

Deceptive fruit. Banana knife.

We don’t have this kind of policy in my school—this is my job basically . I work with grade level resource and the students with behavior. I have successfully remediated a lot of repeat aggression. As a team we are able to put families into contact with behavioral resources that are school/tax funded. The worst part of the position is honestly just the adults who want them gone. That’s just kicking the can… It can take weeks to bring dysfunctional behavior into under complete control. Sometimes I feel like I’m saving my kids from these awful adults, and not the other way around.

The pasta. Especially when it’s layered. Ick.

I’d crumble to dust from sad.

One time I had a dream about the ascii game I played. I dreamed it both IN TEXT, and my brain produced images of the people, places, and things at the same time as I usually imagined them.
