This is what happens when your social adolescence happens in an unmoderated forum where the edgiest edgelad wins attention.

anon finds out they are autistic

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Or it is time to have that ADHD diagnosed.

[-] thepixelfox@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I seriously hope you're joking around.

Real life shock to learn the empathy that online interactions lack.

Caring about family members?

You mean the only thing that allowed you to survive into adulthood?

How sad must it be to be so withdrawn from empathy that you can't even realize how dependent you are on it.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

More likely a coping mechanism to deal with real life shock.

Women, "I miscarried last week, my husband and I have been trying for years and we really thought this was it."

Men, "You think that's bad? Have you been to the DMV?".

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of that old joke about how guys will get the flu and be like “this is the worst experience anyone has ever had happen to them OMG”

Meanwhile women and people AFAB literally have periods and may even give birth…

[-] Lath@kbin.social 58 points 1 year ago

Poor anon. Should've said that research found miscarriages to be more common than previously believed and that this specific one likely wasn't the first and definitely not the last.
It's these little details that make all the difference...

[-] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 65 points 1 year ago

"I know this is awful, but it'll probably happen again."

I don't know, chief. Probably not the best approach.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Comment was sarcastic and dunking on op for being socially stunted.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Look on the bright side, now you and hubby can have your DNA tested and find out how incompatible you are and that you have about a 25% chance of producing a healthy offspring. Yay, knowledge!

[-] spechter@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Well thynk you, now everybody knows I'm not working on the task at hand.

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Depending on the woman, this will either help, or shatter them.

The actual odds are around 50% self abort. Mostly within the first month. 10-20% happen between 1 and 3 months. Critically, almost none of the risk is down to the mother. It just happens.

I couldn't get the fear out of my wife's mind on this. All I could do was quantify it, and lay the groundwork that it wasn't her fault if the pregnancy failed.

When I had a colleague who had 3 heartbreaks, and she was expecting her 4th we treated her with proper kid gloves, no carrying, no stress. It felt like a team effort.

It's best to just drop the factoids and offer emotional support in situations like this.

I mean, the person is directly inviting others to talk about Christianity in their profile. I just kindly take up on the invitation.

Where I live, living with your parent's is cheaper and better economically even your whole life, after getting married, having kids, ...

I have cousins where 4 generations of familly live together in the same house with no issues.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

4 generations of familly live together in the same house with no issues.

with no issues

Hmmm

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I'm glad I live in a country where family value is strong and still living parents is less taboo, because the rent is too damn high. Although people who came from individualistic countries are judging. I remember ten years ago I have a friend from France who is weirded out we don't move out even at twenty. But even if we want to, we have a housing crisis that persists to this day?

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I think when surveyed most wanted to move out but couldn't. Though "we have stronger family values" sure is a nicer way to look at it.

As long as you aren't being a NEET. but this is a 4chan user so it's kind of implied

[-] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

People are different, happy to hear that you have good relationship with your parents - that's not the case for everyone. Also there people who value their privacy and personal freedom more than the convenience of living in a big family.

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Tell that to my whole country.

Sehr edel Zuhausi.

[-] macisr@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Lol anon's a dumbass. I work in healthcare and miscarriages are pretty common and for most people it's pretty easy to get pregnant again, by the story she wasn't admitted to the hospital so the pregnancy couldn't be very far. So it's not that big of a deal. That said, even if it isn't a big deal if you see someone crying you don't crack jokes lol. Have some tact and empathy. All that if the story was real, which it isn't.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 12 points 1 year ago

The problem was the joke sucked. He should have reported her for murder to the government of Alabama, as a prank.

[-] OutrageousUmpire@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Too many people today in situations like Anon’s. Society needs to change.

[-] NoLifeKing@ani.social 4 points 1 year ago
