Habits, Tics, Stims, Compulsions, and Behaviors

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You do. You feel no ill effects aside from maybe disappointment at having to stop. You tap your foot often. This is a habit.

You are tapping your foot, whether you want to or not. Someone asks you to stop. You can’t. If you try to it feels like holding in a sneeze and the pressure builds up. It might come out in a different, even less controllable action. This is a tic.

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You do, but immediately feel worse physically or emotionally. It was a way for you to express yourself and how you feel. You may feel pressure. This is a stim.

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You can’t, because if you do something bad will happen, possibly some specific bad thing. You know it’s irrational, but not doing it gives you anxiety. This is a compulsion.

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You can’t, because if you do this specific bad thing will happen. It is not irrational to you, although it is to others. This is an erratic/disorganized behavior.

Sometimes you read a line from a book and it’s like something from your own head or something from your journal. And that part of you is a bit more defined, a bit sharper, and a bit easier to understand and explain to others.

#neveragain never again is now

I want to yell and scream, how are we letting all this happen. The unjust, the fucking concentration camps. I'm already mentally ill, and I'm doing my best not to unravel myself. I realize I personally am not doing anything. I don't know what I can do. What can we do. All this news of #never again happening again is fucking me up

I wish there was a show like My Cat from Hell but with autistic people

Autism Parent™: My kind won’t stop throwing tantrums

Autistic Expert: Well A) those are meltdowns NOT tantrums B) they have no control over this and C) stop touching them without their consent and forcing them into overwhelming situations

Autism Parent ™: I just want my kid to say “I love you”

Autistic Expert: They have been telling you they love you by infodumping to you and spending time in the same room as you. You just refuse to listen.

Autism Parent ™: They behave so weird. I want them to stop.

Autistic Expert: Have you ever talked to an autistic adult to learn about what autistic body language looks like? Well stop expecting them to act neurotypical, they are not. Their behavior makes actually absolutely sense for an autistic person.

Feel free to add more examples :)

[sunsetquotes]

“Maybe love stays. Maybe love can’t. Maybe love shouldn’t. Love arrives exactly when love is supposed to. And love leaves exactly when love must. When love arrives, say, ‘Welcome. Make yourself comfortable.’ If love leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her. Turn off the music, listen to the quiet. Whisper, 'Thank you for stopping by.’”

Okay but the “where are the kids” “they’re out back” made me ugly laugh

[thegirlwiththeloontattoo]

People say “phase” like impermanence means insignificance. Show me a permanent state of the self.

holy shit this quote changed my life about four years ago. so crazy that this just resurfaced. i’m really happy.

I ripped anti-abortion posters off of my campus’ walls and the tearing sound was so satisfying I legit considered making it an ASMR video

[lesbianism-that-sucks]

some updates:

one of the posters was too high for me to reach. I came back with a friend, and we managed to borrow a chair from a coffee shop and get help from a taller student, both were very enthusiastic about helping us

it turns out a guy I know is anti-abortion. I talked to him and now he’s pro-choice. stan me

there was an anti-abortion and anti-gay-medical-pregnancy (I have no vocabulary) protest, which was the reason for all the posters. they were barely 50 and it ended up raining on them

i spent half an hour ripping off their stupid stickers of the walls of the city hall. I feel like the mayor should have paid me for this tbh

when ripping off the stickers, I saw someone else doing it on the other side of the building. we didn’t get to talk but it was nice to see the collective effort

that’s all for now! remember kids: it’s perfectly legal in most countries to rip off posters on the street. if you see hateful or discriminatory messages, rip that shit off babe. will make you feel powerful for days

[ebonyheartnet]

This is excellent, but I would like to add a word of caution: If you know or suspect that the hate group putting up the posters is potentially violent, do not remove them with your bare hands.

Some fuckers put razors under the edges, and other shit, so you need something else to scrape them off with. When in doubt, scrape a few in random locations and, if they all come up clean, you’re probably okay to pull the rest down by hand.

And yeah, I’m really fucking angry that I have to say this at all.

YOUR 👏 SYMPTOMS 👏 ARE NOT 👏 YOUR FAULT

[thefrogman]

Towards the whole "pronouns hurt people's feelings" topic. Am I REALLY the only person on the planet that thinks people are becoming far to sensative? Nearly to the point that they shouldn't leave their little home bubbles in the case that a bird chirps next to them in a way that sounds like a mean word. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, we're becoming a little TOO coddling and people need to learn to deal with simplistic shit like words. And yes, I've been insulted and made fun of. I got over it. So can you.

Supposedly invented by the Chinese, there is an ancient form of torture that is nothing more than cold, tiny drops falling upon a person’s forehead. 

On its own, a single drop is nothing. It falls upon the brow making a tiny splash. It doesn’t hurt. No real harm comes from it. 

In multitudes, the drops are still fairly harmless. Other than a damp forehead, there really is no cause for concern. 

The key to the torture is being restrained. You cannot move. You must feel each drop. You have lost all control over stopping these drops of water from splashing on your forehead. 

It still doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. But person after person, time and time again—would completely unravel psychologically. They all had a breaking point where each drop turned into a horror. Building and building until all sense of sanity was completely lost. 

“It was just a joke, quit being so sensitive.”

“They used the wrong pronoun, big deal.”

“So your parents don’t understand, it could be worse.”

Day after day. Drop after drop. It builds up. A single instance on its own is no big deal. A few drops, not a problem. But when you are restrained, when you cannot escape the drops, when it is unending—these drops can be agony. 

People aren’t sensitive because they can’t take a joke. Because they can’t take being misgendered one time. Because they lack a thick skin. 

People are sensitive because the drops are unending and they have no escape from them. 

You are only seeing the tiny, harmless, single drop hitting these so-called “sensitive” people. You are failing to see the thousands of drops endured before that. You are failing to see the restraints that make them inescapable.
