| Yes. Voluntarily and involuntarily. But I have more conscious control over my visualization than not. And that control multiplied when I no longer contend constantly against maladaptive daydreaming. The intrusive aspects of my mind isn't coming from where I directly utilize visualization; but someti... |

| A really random scene of my mom putting my younger sister on a sink to wash her. She seem like she's less than a year old. And I'm at least 2½ years older than her. So likely toddler years, but I cannot actually recall the precise age. What I can consciously recall and knew my age was likely around ... |

| Fanfiction and maladaptive daydreaming. Except that's not really me -- my actual interests in fiction only stops at a certain point and my daydreaming is just this subconscious crap to avoid the issues. It's just a defense mechanism that my brain chose to stick me with by consuming tons and tons of ... |

| I never truly had misophonia. Never had misophonia as a primary thing. And if I had at one point, it's temporary at best just like anxiety is to me. Probably I did during pubescent years and leading up to puberty during my worst years. Around ages 10. Then suddenly it's gone. Up to ages 16. It was b... |

| Sympathy. I lack sympathy, not empathy. I know what a meltdown is, I've had more than a few myself. I'm not saying the autistic individual fakes them as a means to manipulate - I'm saying that over time, they can get used to getting what they want as a result of having one, and that as a consequenc... |

| Most of which is that they cannot perceive nor comprehend the source of distress that lead to those behaviors. Thus assume that it's attention seeking. :roll: Because that's what generally they think they'd intend to do if they themselves do the same behaviors. Basically projection mistaken for bein... |

Not on purpose.
Just that wearing a loose enough outfit can mistook me for a guy with just the right haircut...
Calling me on male terms and mistaking me as male seem to always make me giggle. |

Demand over here, demand over there...
 Just because my schedule is open, doesn't mean it's up to grabs.
From now on, I'm going to restrict my time away from any work demand more than ever if this keeps happening. |

To me, woke is a weird word.
Something that sometimes exists online because of foreign presence, and practically non-existent in real life. |
