Yeah, performative allies will act like that a lot; pretending to care or understand but in reality, they're ignorant and won't help you when you need it. It's messed up nobody listens to you or believes you, but very real if I'm being honest. I've had people laugh at my serious problems because the...

I have tried not to talk for a whole day, usually giving up when I became bored. I once didn't speak for a whole school day because I was just tired of talking to people, instead of experimentation. I'm not sure, but I think I go non-verbal when I'm overwhelmed. I've been forced to talk under those ...

#1 Seinfeld fan here (the show not the person) I think it's funny Jerry's calling modern comedy restrained by wokeness when one of his most recognizable Seinfeld-ism was created carefully as not offend the gay community. "Not that there's anything wrong with that." And with the recent rele...

Strangers being rude to me when I am out in public. Like grumpy bus drivers if I get something wrong when I’m buying a ticket. I know everyone dislikes this but I seem to react more strongly & shut down more. I think it’s linked to anxiety and being bullied in the past. Yeah, I believe it has t...

People touching me in any way. Sunshine (I want to block out the sun like Mr. Burns lol) Food touching that shouldn't. Condiments (someone one force fed me various condiments while I cried. I hate condiments.) Tags on clothing, just uncomfortable clothing in general People touching my belongings. Cr...

Is the film character-centric, or do you have any ideas for specific sequences, because the plot should probably tie into that. Either way, my idea for an action film would always be having the main characters debilitated in some way, ex. sick, disabled while the fight off a power, like an organizat...

I don't know if this qualifies but I felt like saying it: I have this irrational fear of waking up people that I've been freaking out about recently because I've realized it's not normal. I feel like if I wake someone up, they'll get mad and yell and hit me or something. I have both looked this up a...

Yeah, I think it's a great example of modern "hard" science fiction, a category of sci-fi I usually don't explore, preferring the zanier comedies and kinda outdated dystopias. I think it's really disturbing and brings up a lot of interesting takes on morality and humanity that I enjoy are ...

Non-disabled actors playing disabled characters for cheap laughs, what is this, Forest Gump? Bella Baxter isn't disabled. She's a child. What movie did you watch? I've seen it a couple of times now, and I'm okay with it. I think it's interesting that Bella isn't so much emancipated from a patriarch...

Thanks for the advice, guys. The "be yourself" works most of the time, and I come off across weirder than I already am by trying too hard. I'm trying to work on confidence (which is definitely not like me), since I get made fun of for being shy and acting insecure.

Sorry for being late for the party, but I totally agree with you. Here's my Letterbox review for the film that addresses some of my issues with it: Socially acceptable ableism and pedophilia. Subverts the "Born Sexy Yesterday" trope just to play it straight. How many fking shots of Emma St...

I looked it up on wikiHow but this seems slightly less pathetic and probably more helpful. Just any tips that helped you as a (probably) socially awkward person.

I was reading this medical textbook in my class and happened upon the definition of "Aspergers syndrome" in it. For some reason, it mentioned autistic people having "a preoccupation with small objects" which I had not heard as a symptom before and thought it was weird they mentio...

my special interest is actually animation (2d) never met anyone that understands how i feel about it in the slightest and most of my family think it's childish, so.. As a guy with an obsession in film and tv, animation is certainly an interest of mine. I'm a total cartoon junkie and recognize that ...
