While we’re talking about campus sexual violence, I want to revisit the recent history of a topic where we have seen some of the biggest backslides: Expelling rapists from school.

It’s hard to even roll over in bed to grab stuff, between the endo and joint pains. Pls if you can at least help with smaller stuff like food? Have two uber rides to get meds coming up. Also see laundry. Anything helps. Can show reviews for all of above + took. Take applicable giftcard cards too

No, I don't. I will write my own name on the ballot before I do that "lesser evil" bullshit again. I've voted "lesser evil" for 40+ years, and all it's brought me is more evil. You can actually commit to good or you don't get my vote. That's the options. My vote, my choice.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

A former friend who I thought was a friend manipulated me for the past 9 months, trying to separate me and my girlfriend. Autistic people don’t always pick up on social cues. For months he was not doing friend things because I had no idea he wanted to do more than that.

Things people with ADHD (especially women) wish more people knew: "Rejection Sensitivity affects daily lives by causing people to mask, and become disconnected from work, themselves, and others. It is multi-dimensional; not singularly an emotional experience, but also felt strongly in the body."
infographic "The Lived Experiences of Rejection Sensitivity: A Qualitative Exploration" Key points: Rejection Sensitivity is most often felt by those who experience ADHD, and it is significantly underresearched. It has been described as "extreme emotional sensitivity and pain triggered by the perception that a person has been rejected or criticized." .... those who experience Rejection Sensitivity perceive the rejection with often devastating effects. 

Main Themes: Masking - used as a tool to hide over-sensitivity, often leading to further rejection and criticism, creating a vicious cycle, and reinforcing the 'tough' exterior mask. Consistent masking has led to a dissocation, causing them to feel unsure of what their true feelings really are.

Withdrawal - they expect rejection, causing them to withdraw, such as avoiding work and withdrawing from friendships and romantic relationships; socially withdrawing reinforces the idea that others are correct to reject them. This leads them to question if there is something wrong with them, causing them to only keep small circles of trusted people. 

Bodily sensations - rejection and criticism evokes upleasant and overwhelming physical sensations. Examples in text boxes "feels like a chair has been taken out from beneath you;' "everything inside starts to burn," "paralyzed state"

Conclusion: Rejection Sensitivity affects daily lives by causing people to mask, and become disconnected from work, themselves, and others. It is multi-dimensional; not singularly an emotional experience, but also felt strongly in the body. There is also a possible, implied  feature contributing to rejection sensitivity; defence mechanisms. This may account for the use of masking and avoidance behavior...
