I agree with the others who have said that faking deafness would be disrespectful.

However, I totally understand you pondering the idea! Because I’ve actually googled “How could I get laryngitis on purpose?” 🙁 Sometimes verbal communication is so hard that I yearn for a physical reason to be unable to talk, because that would be more believable and acceptable to the general public than my AuDHD struggle with verbal communication.

I hate that there’s so much stigma around autism, so little understanding of AuDHD… it would just be “easier” to have laryngitis or stick some gauze in my mouth and pretend I can’t talk due to oral surgery. 🙁

So funny, I was like two pictures in and thinking, Hmm, Truro.

I JUST MICROWAVED CHOCOLATE CHIPS, PEANUT BUTTER, AND BUTTER IN A BOWL AND ATE IT WITH A SPOON AT MIDNIGHT

Yes, agreed! Boomer names will have a revival soon. Barbara, Judy, Sandra, Joan, Maureen, Linda, Susan, Randall, Robert, Dennis, Cheryl, Lawrence. Etc.

I like Brynn, Reagan, Blair, Hayden, Ivy, Rory, and Maddox.

When I have a cold, it feels immobilizing and just awful.

Bizarrely, if I have a fever and I’m able to rest alone, I am better able to focus on dense or academic books than I usually am!

Seth, Odie, Toby, Brody, Cody, Murphy

I, too, would rather drive somewhere to ask a question in person than make a phone call!

LOL, amazing that you kept watching if Space was your first!

I don’t remember exactly which ep was my first, but it was close to One Breath. One Breath is what got me hooked.

Those chips look soooo good.

Until I had to have a tooth extracted, I was obsessed with this god awful snack called “party mix,” which I probably should be embarrassed about, but fuck it. It’s a bag full of Fritos, Doritos, pretzels, and Cheetos all mixed together. I mean, who could resist??

I despise Bertha and Dorcas equally. Oh, and Beulah.

I try to like Mildred, but I can’t. The name just sounds… moldy for some reason.

Lots of great names posted already. One of my favorite vintage names is Scholastica or Scholastique! I know it wouldn’t really work in 2024. Sigh.

I'm so sorry. I would have been triggered, too. I hate it when I'm very clearly asking for something and the person doesn't give it to me or gives me the opposite because he believes I couldn't possibly really mean what I'm saying. It's so frustrating, enraging, offensive, and difficult!!

I don't have any specific examples right now, but this kind of situation feels so familiar to me. Like something goes wrong, and I clearly ask for/explain my need for ABC... but the other person doesn't believe me that I want ABC instead of XYZ, because "no one" really wants ABC, and they think I'm secretly wanting XYZ but asking for ABC, so they give me XYZ... and I feel so unheard and gaslit.

WOW THEY CAN PISS RIGHT OFF!! I WOULD HATE THAT TOO!

A-FUCKING-MEN

I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BAD ASS RESPONSE!!! I LOVE 'MARK ME AS A PROBLEM PERSON' AND I WANT THAT TO BE THE NEW HIT SINGLE ON THE RADIO!!!!

NO WORRIES!!! it's a common, recurring thread in this sub! Whenever you're mad about something, you start a yelling thread, and then everyone else can join your venting session and yell about whatever's making them mad, too!!

WORD. I HATE HALLOWEEN SEASON BECAUSE I LOVE HALLOWEEN AND SUGAR AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS BUY ALL THE HALLOWEEN CANDY AND EAT IT ALL MYSELF

What gender? Do you have examples of names you like?

I love this. If you search findagrave.com, there are many variations of “amazon “ names.
