Thank you! That's horrible they blamed that attack on your cat with no evidence. People are really weird about grass. And that was always one of my least favorite scenes in the Wizard of Oz too! Thank you for the advice! My dog is currently on anxiety meds and has a fantastic trainer. She's the best... |

I don't know where else to post this, but it's causing me a lot of distress/anxiety so I figured here would be a good place. It's also a bit long, I'm sorry. My family has an anxious, German Shepherd mix dog named Pumpernickel. She's perfectly happy inside the house, but afraid to be outside because... |

You sound just like my aunt, Bee. She's the same. We went to this Greek restaurant that stored their spanakopita under meat for some reason, so the meat dripped down onto it, but we had no idea that they did this until she took the first bite and made the funniest face and then asked them why there ... |

I was born a redhead, but for the entirety of my life that I can actually remember I've been blonde. I had bright ice-white towhead hair until I was in my late 20s when it started to darken to a more normal blonde. People have always thought it was hilarious to tell me dumb blonde jokes: classmates,... |

^Even those with poor self-image, even though they're actually healthy and good-looking to others' eyes? :| What I meant by poor self image was: They hated themselves, and because they hated themselves they did not understand how I could love them or find them attractive. Even though I did. But, no... |

Thank you! My ex wasn't NT, but yes, I think you're right that was a huge part of our problem. I do not understand magical thinking like that. I didn't realize that being a mind-reader was part of dating, and apparently I'm really bad at it. |

I love this thread idea! Especially since I'm on the ace spectrum and don't experience physical attraction like a normal person. I'm most attracted to people that make me feel safe and wanted. It's nice to feel safe to express my feelings, or needs, or even just drop the mask for a little bit. It's ... |

Thank you all for the advice and well wishes! It helps a lot to know it wasn't something I did wrong, but instead a compatibility issue. Which means I can focus instead on figuring out healthy relationships for the future rather than worrying about what I did. It's kind of concerning that so many ot... |

Thank you both! Staying away isn't an issue. She's already blocked me...not that I was planning to reply to the message. I just don't understand what I did wrong and how not to do it again. |

I'm sorry this is kind of long. There's no real way to TL:DR. I was friends with this woman for fifteen years and then in February we told each other we have feelings for each other so we tried dating. We had a great friendship so I was really shocked and confused when everything nosedived and her e... |

A person can be depressed and have anxiety and still be manipulative, controlling, mean, belittling, callous, noncommittal , and abusive. All of which this fellow is. You have described nothing about him that is remotely attractive. Run, don't walk, and have nothing to do with him. A man who values... |

Thank you both! Is that how this works? Where if you have a friendship and try for a romantic relationship and it fails you break all contact? Because it's not possible to go back? Or is it because of what he did that you're both suggesting that? I'm still not sure what to do. I don't want to punish... |

3 things here: 1: Actually, no, I do not get offended when someone refers to me as a male. 2: I don't get how not a single one of those people were even able to consider that I used the term in a "totally innocent fashion" and just assumed the opposite. 3: The opinion of some people on th... |

I cannot hear people call women females without thinking of the Ferengi, haha which should give you some inclination as to why some people say it's inappropriate On a more serious note, the reason some people are sensitive to it is quite simple: using a blanket biology term like females or males... |
