I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m a whopping 5’2 120lb chihuahua😅. I know how to throw my weight around if I have to, but I’m so ridiculously out of practice that I just rely on demeanor. Works well enough; people call me intimidating a lot. For reasons I guess.

That’s fair, I totally didn’t mean to imply that I’m only uncomfortable because of the qualifiers, just perhaps that they make it feel more difficult because I don’t have much of a framework for attraction interactions, maybe.

But you are right, it would be equally uncomfortable regardless because it’s ultimately unwanted interaction.

And you are also right that I need to distance myself from the life lessons of others.. I was diagnosed with adhd at 5 and it was used as a reason to move me every single year from age 5 to 17 (different schools every year until my junior year) so I didn’t grow with peers, I grew near people I barely interacted with, and idk what to do socially now..

So I appreciate your advice and words even if you think they come with a cynical air (realistic, if anything, I get it, and the sloppy bloody face brick wall person thing is why I don’t social)

I’ve been invited on a few cruises.

I was in the navy, and immediately launch into a tirade about how top heavy and unsafe those things are.

“Well it’s never been a problem for us”

Okie dokie, I took statistics, so hard pass all the same :)

New testicular pain isn’t something to ignore, if it keeps happening. Like for more than a few days, sort of thing. Even if it’s only every 3 days or whatever.

It could be partial torsion causing a pinching of the blood supply or something, which can lead to losing the nut. If you catch it early, it’s a relatively minor thing to fix.

(Disclaimer: I don’t have male anatomy, I’ve just read several books about ED and penis functionality/misfuntionality written by wiener doctors because the male body is interesting and foreign. They all agree on that one point; don’t ignore ball pain. At worst you learn it’s nothing to be concerned about, and that’s also valuable information.)

I saw a depressing comic like that.. civilization has collapsed, no humans left, and the invisible hand of the market keeps raising prices.

I tried to find it for you but there are a lot of invisible hand of the market comics and I’m not good enough to find it :(

Need to throw in some viral stupidity like licking toilet seats and tampering with food and stuff.

Since not getting married or reproducing have both been mentioned quite a bit (and are for sure my top two as well), I’ll go a bit further down the line.

I’m really glad I stopped wearing makeup at 15., and never started again. I’m just shy of 40 now and on the rare occasion I do wear something, for a wedding or something, everyone gushes about how nice it looks and that feels good, but I am thrilled I don’t waste my time or money on it every day. My skin looks 10 years younger, and I’m not financially contributing to marketing campaigns that make people self-conscious about their appearance.

(If makeup is your jam that’s cool, zero judgement, I’m just very lazy and don’t care how I look enough to spend money and time on it)

That synopsis both answers and raises more questions than I knew I had..

Thanks, I think.. 😜

That’s what H1B visas are for! Then they get dumb labor, and cheap skilled slaves beholden to them to keep their visa and thus life intact!

(Wish I were joking, but this is all facts)

I hear this exact tendency is why autDHD people are good with homesteading type stuff, or just general outdoor maintenance (not like mechanical stuff but like gardening and stuff)

There’s simply so much to do, and it never really has a completion state, that if you lose focus midway through a task and start another, your ultimate goals are still being furthered.

Hey nuh uh, I did all that having been diagnosed at 5, thank you.

Bite off the small tip of the egg and scoop out all the cream filling with a finger. Maybe eat the chocolate after (I don’t like chocolate, so only maybe).

Probably the finger scooping bit caused it to sort of mix and not show up, but idrk.

As a woman the same height as you, the world is for sure not made for people our size which is super annoying. (there’s kid size and adult size, and 5’2 is usually suited for neither ime),

One of my good friends from college was a man a full head shorter than me. He was the nicest person I’d ever met, full of charm and charisma, and had no problems meeting people and finding good people to spend time with. Because his personality shone through and he never outwardly seemed to care he was short, so nobody else did either (he did care sometimes, but was a happy dude anyway).

Height doesn’t matter imo. It might feel like it does, when nothing is sized for you and society says there’s some nebulous ideal, but in the grand scheme of things it’s who you are, and that’s ok. :)
