Did anyone else cycle through them, or just me?

My mum frequently says negative stuff to me, but the one that sticks with me a lot is when she called me a "freak that no one will ever love" after I came out as trans.

My mum used to cook mince in the microwave. From raw.

I'm right there with you, mate. I graduated just in time for the whole industry to be about "AI". I don't want to work on AI. I hate AI. I also don't feel qualified for the jobs I'm applying for. Sure, I did the degree, but I don't feel like I learnt anything in it well enough to call myself qualified.

My mum's abusive. I learnt early on that just because someone is a religious leader that doesn't make them a good person. My dad was always the better of the two, I thought he was okay, but now he's older I've heard him express opinions I can't agree with, support for political ideals that are questionable at best. I'm not sure how I feel about it all.

I joined r/detrans because I was struggling with my identity (had been told being autistic meant I wasn't really trans), but honestly that place is so toxic. I find a lot of Reddit toxic lately though.

I did! But I've since lost it sadly.

It will stop them from telling you when they have nightmares though. Source: my childhood (didn't involve a chainsaw though, just a regular beating)

My cat

I went to a nerd convention (probably Supernova) and there was a stall there raising awareness for autism and I wanted a cape because they were giving out capes (I've since lost the cape, very sad), and the guy there was like "are you autistic?" And I'm like "I don't think so" (thinking I guess they ask everyone or something). A year later, I'm helping out at this nerd shop and a couple comes in and the guy's like, "do you remember me? I think we met at the con last year. I don't want to offend you, but I think you're undiagnosed." Turns out he was right.
