| Welcome, Counselor! :wink: Good to have you aboard. Personally, yes, that sense of shame (and judgement/rejection) has followed me my whole life. It led me to gradually make my life smaller and smaller over the years, so it would be easier to cope with, more comfortable. But since I realised I'm aut... |

| The vid was interesting, Thanx for posting that. I had kinda thought that agreeable meant going along with others. One reason I didn't pick agreeableness is because I need others to be direct & tell me if I'm crossing boundaries, if they have a problem with my behavior, & voice concern if t... |

| You're talking about confirmation bias and "being realistic" but it sounds like you don't actually have much personal experience of TikTok? Correct me if I'm wrong. You seem to be make a lot of sweeping generalisations about people's habits and motivations and I'm unclear as to why. As som... |

| She does know that I'm autistic. Also, I find it helpful when she tells me the reason for canceling because then I don't have to worry about her so much. I'm not against the fact that she wants to get her hair done or her need to take time to do something nice for herself. I'm against the fact that... |

| I'd just like to add that if it is connected to any religion-specific beliefs, that doesn't change anything. It's still abusive. |

| I don't know anything about the specifics regarding JW parenting practices but what you're describing sounds like a pretty abusive way to treat any child, whether they belong to any specific religion or not. I hope it's a one off, which she'll somehow find the sense to apologise to him for and expla... |

| The last few movies I watched were all pretty terrible - (The House of the Spirits, The Whale, Smile). The last good movie I watched was Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, which I really enjoyed. I got a Letterboxd notification this morning telling me that Possession, an early 80s French horror that I've... |

| As I understand it, TikTok videos are actually anything between 15 seconds and 3 minutes long, and individual videos are often part of larger multi-part series of videos on a myriad of topics - including lots of information on how to avoid falling for myths and misconceptions that could lead to thin... |

These days I'm looking for connections and deep friendships, and if romance was to come out of a nice connection with someone then great. But I would ab... |
