#I'm not a psychologist

[shymeg]

Okay, I had the song "Lost" by Linkin Park on the radio. Every time I hear it, it haunts me more.

Hear me out, though. What if that's how many celeb kids feel, kids with trauma, told not to talk about it, hush-hush, so they push it down? Anybody, for that matter. You only see what people want you to see.

They smile and act normal. Maybe they fidget, saying it's something like Adhd, Add, or anxiety. So, people will move on. Maybe they have those, but that's not the real problem. Only a few people might know what that is.

So, they are always on, and they try to appease others, so they take on their characteristics in hopes this will help. They don't like necessarily being left alone with their thoughts.

I'm not saying to excuse that behavior, but if you are going to read into something, maybe ask yourself why. If they are trying to get attention, maybe give it to them in the way of reflection, but positive; maybe they get the negative a lot, and perhaps that is why they are acting out.

I'm just saying you have no idea what anybody is going through. Maybe they always have to be on, and when they aren't, they are scared of what you might think and how you might respond. Let them live; let them be okay to be off. You don't need to mock others.

If you simply don't like someone move on, no need to bash them. Again you have no clue to what is going on that you don't see.

Sorry boo

But criticizing a fictional OC isn’t ableist. Attributing all his sh*tty selfish behaviour to anxiety kinda is though

#anti-jordan kent #I'm not a psychologist #but last time I checked #having social anxiety doesn't make you wanna be famous #or constantly crap on your brother #or stalk your ex #so tired of this defence #they don't even care abt throwing real ppl with anxiety under the bus #to defend their fave

Y'know what I absolutely cannot stand? The idea that kindness or showing any kind of genuine emotion other than anger is some kind of weakness. Humans are social creatures, have been since day one. Yet some folks think that helping our fellow human is somehow a bad thing? It just does not compute for me.

Jazz wasn't crazy. People might argue that burning her childhood home to the ground with her parents still inside would be an indicator of insanity. But how else was she supposed to react after coming back home from college to find out her parents had brutally killed her brother via vivisection?

Dying her hair blonde wasn't crazy either before anyone asked. Plenty of girls dyed their hair when they needed a change. Besides, she could never live with herself if she kept the same hair color as that vile woman.

Admittedly Jazz would have to secede moving to Gotham had been a little crazy but it was the perfect place to start fresh and blend in despite her "quirks". She had even picked out a nice new identity for herself.

Clearly Jazz was not crazy as she had managed to land a job at Arkham Asylum as a psychiatrist. If she were really insane would they have ever hired her? No they wouldn't have.

Jazz was not crazy. She was very much sane. Just like her precious Mr. J.

Listen, I know that canonically House is supposed to have very strong antisocial and narcissistic traits, but I will continue to shout from the rooftops that I believe he actually experiences hyper-empathy due to his autism. However, on the flip side, it would not surprise me at all if Wilson genuinely had both antisocial and narcissistic traits. Maybe or maybe not enough for an official diagnosis, I don't know. Either way, he strongly exhibits so many of those traits, just not in the way you'd typically expect. He's literally known for seeking out desperate and hurt people so that he can play saviour. He needs to be needed. He doesn't help people because he genuinely wants to see them get better, he helps people because he wants to become the center of their world and their only focus, and as soon as they're healed and stronger, he leaves. Because they don't need him anymore. Because he's not their only focus anymore. House even talks about it in the show.

I think that House and Wilson are genuinely just both so good at masking that they appear the opposite of how they genuinely are so strongly that their personalities and traits get mixed up.

#Someone please understand what I mean because I feel like I make no sense #I'm jsut rambling at this point #house md #house #greg house #james wilson #gregory house #hilson #hate crimes md #hatecrimes md #wilson #housemd #I hope this doesnt come across as a dig towards people with aspd or npd because its not meant to be at all #and obviously just because someone has those things does not make them a bad person #you can be a good person and do good things #I am obviously not a psychologist

screaming going insane im begging you to talk more about house developing a pavlovian response to wilsons nagging. like you’re right.

like house is already not subtle about wilson (you can only joke about wanting to fuck a guy so much before people start thinking you actually wanna fuck the guy) (i am not convinced he was ever joking)

and house has sooo many issues, the most prevalent being ones that stem from his leg and resulting disability after a life of activity, BUT we also must consider also those that stem from his childhood..... when a parent treats you terribly even the most logic-minded and rational people will think they deserve it. and when that is normal for you, it's almost a comfort. especially if that's the only attention you're getting from them

now let's set that aside for a second. house has always thought of wilson positively from day one (finding him "interesting" which is like the normal person equivalent of saying love at first sight, in this case) and i am not alone in thinking that house is pining in some form. and he fucks. the wires get crossed. something in his brain goes from "no one can make him mad like i can :) " to "he's hot when he's negging me" to house beating it in the hospital showers

95% (why did the numbers get HUGE just then. like i'm making a point sure but goddamn 70 point font pop off) of the time house will walk away from an interaction with wilson feeling great, even if he just got lectured within an inch of his life. just look at how often he gets the Diagnosis Revelation just from bothering wilson for five minutes (and that being all of wilson's screentime in the ep)

they're sick. they're basically having sex every episode. there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

#house md #hilson #anon #ask #i am not a psychologist or whatever. obviously. disclaimers n such #and like wilson is so fr about getting on to house is the worst part #he doesnt even notice how house's pupils dilate when he tells him “i'm glad you're here actually” in That Tone #but yeah in short the self loathing and daddy issues meeting a mother hen is a recipe for disaster #and or crazy insane messy sex if wilson would stop being dense and repressed

I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain

Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it

i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)

really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!

undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.

i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.

people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.

peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.

it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."

so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.

people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.

autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.

#a lot of my traits have been exacerbated lately and i remember it was much easier for me before #and some of my friends have said “oh it's because you've been masking too long and now you're facing autistic burnout.” #and that made sense to me i think. #but then i found out about the stress thing. me overproducing stress hormone. and that's a very physical thing. #and that explains why i've been overstimulated more than usual lately. and why everything feels like too much. #and i wonder how many of these traits of mine are going to subside once i have lamar removed #and it makes me wonder a lot of things. and it's so weird how much your brain is tied to your biology. #i wonder how much i'll change. i wonder how i'll feel. i wonder if i'll still feel like me. i wonder how much me is me right now. #and how much of me is being altered by weird freaky hormones. who am i?? who will i be?? #i'm almost looking at this as like. a superhero origin story of some sort. like this is my spider-bite moment. maybe. #will i be different? will i cope with things differently?? now that my body isn't fighting something anymore?? #maybe i'll be normal. i don't know. i don't know. #i don't know what it'll mean for me. #but all of these things mean i relate to peter parker in a certain kind of way #i don't think you have to be diagnosed with autism to recognise and empathise with those traits i think #i think everyone can see themselves in peter. and i think that's the benefit of having characters that aren't diagnosed. #because there's so much overlap in the human experience. and certain feelings aren't exclusive to just one group of people. #peter has such a rich identity actually. it's an autistic thing. it's a queer thing. it's a jewish thing. it's a trauma thing. #there are so many overlapping parts of peter's identity that inform who he is and how he behaves and it's never just one thing. #it's a product of all of his things. #just like me! just like everyone. #so me? i guess i can be a million things. you can explain what i am in a million different ways. #a hundred different psychologists can all come up with different ways to explain why i be the way i be. #i don't think it's something that can be simplified. #sorry wow. i'm really going off here in the tags. #i hope people don't think i'm stupid. i don't know brain science. i'm just philosophising as usual. #sci speaks

The narrator in the insanity ending:

"Stanley began screaming.

'Please someone wake me up! My name is Stanley! I have a boss! I have an office! I am real! Please just someone tell me I'm real! I must be real! I must be! Can anyone hear my voice?! Who am I? Who am I?!'

And everything went black."

The narrator in the skip button ending:

"The words that I'm saying need to know you can hear me, because maybe, Stanley, maybe you can hear me, then maybe it means I'm real. I can feel the edges of my reality curdling inward and decaying, I can tell that I am becoming less and less real yet to speak to you now I am alive! I am truly and completely here! I am a being! I am someone! I am something! I feel as though I occupy space in the world again! And I feel, right now, like I am not a work of fiction."

Stanley:

#the stanley parable #the narrator #i can never hear those lines the same way ever again #pretty sure I'm alone on this connection but i don't care #I'm no psychologist but I'm pretty sure that whole scene morphed from the narrator being a dick #to the narrator projecting his existential fears on Stanley harder then a cinema open 24/7 #memes i made #skip button ending #lines that hit different after the skip button ending

I feel bad for Starlo. (pt. 6)

I think the main thing we were supposed to see as Star's character flaw wasn't that he was acting proud/arrogant/reckless/badass (I mentioned that it's fine for him to act that way because he deserved it after everything good he did and obviously I still mean it 110%), but how that proud, charming guy was never the real him. He literally lost himself trying to feel worthy and please everyone in town. For years he's been acting the role (for a noble cause) but the price was him losing touch with the nerd he is.

Yet STILL, if only everyone had been a bit more gentle with him, I bet he'd have toned it down during the WE section, and even before that. But they all decided to let him know the truth at the worst possible time, right when he was supposed to make Clover his deputy. Right after they attacked the kid because they were jealous. It was supposed to be the PEAK of Starlo's day and they randomly threw the "we never liked any of this" bomb at him instead of trying to talk it out BEFORE things escalated. I'd be pissed too.

Oh yeah...

... his brother doesn't take him seriously apparently and doesn't realize that staying positive and strong 24/7 is tougher than it looks, especially with Starlo's insecurities (and yeah being a farmer is hard work, but so is being in Star's position; on the contrary, it's even TOUGHER) ...

Orion should try being an entertainer for a day and see what it's like, let alone doing it for years

...Solomon says how Star thought him and Crestina didn't support his life choices...

... and how he rarely talks to his family...

...and it suddenly came to me: in all these years, they didn't ever bother telling him that they did support him? They didn't bother trying to reach out to him more? Understand his passion (Ceroba doesn't get it either; once again, I don't blame Starlo for caring about Clover so much, that kid understood)? Have an honest talk?

No wonder Star stopped interacting with them for the most part. Maybe him feeling worthless came from his family? Who knows (or he was bullied as a kid for being a nerd). In any case, he clearly had to deal with these feelings by himself.

This man's been through some stuff.

P.S. I know he has flaws like everyone, but you've gotta ask yourself the important question: WHY? where did all this come from? But clearly nobody in his life ever asked themselves this. So it all kept building up till he almost killed his deputy for... status. He was SO desperate to feel valued and get his friends back (who made him feel less alone.. but ultimately just left when he needed someone the most, at least ONE person) that he was ready to go all the way to achieve what he'd been lacking his entire life: *feeling like he MATTERED.*

I wonder If he'll ever go 100% back to being his true self. Slim chances :'( this is him now. Half farmer half sheriff

#undertale yellow #uty #starlo uty #uty starlo #why is this character so tragic #without being tragic #i mean the “Ceroba” type of tragic #I'm no psychologist but I sure know feelings like this stem from childhood/adolescence #I'm talking bout the fact starlo literally decided that his life purpose would be pretending to be a sheriff. I repeat. PRETENDING #aka someone important #bc he never felt important #he tried lying to everybody and especially himself #that he was 'great' and 'cool' #bc nobody ever made him feel that way #plus ceroba ditched him for someone more 'serious' she had just met #I have to write about the sentence above soon #like I'm not saying Solomon & crestina are terrible people #But parents..? #Wellll... #I kinda sometimes imagine Star being made fun of by his peers and so he'd always retreat to his room and cry alone #That is #Until he found those western cassettes (I imagine it happened when he was a teen) #So instead of crying #He'd just distract himself for hours and hours #And pretend he was someone with more value who everyone respected #That's how the persona came to be #And so he began to lose touch with his real self more and more #As well as his feelings and problems #Until he just snapped #I can't anymore

calm and charming fanon obi-wan this canon jerk obi-wan that. the blorbo contains multitudes okay????

may i present his three major modes of operation:

The Negotiator: Collected, charismatic, and smooth. Used to talk his way in and/or out of anything.

Master Kenobi: Kind, quiet, emotionally available and sensitive, wise, gives and takes good advice. Excellent listener.

Obi-Wan: Snarky, sarcastic, and stubborn. Has a fairly quick temper and loses his filter fast. Makes jokes that sound insensitive but aren't meant to hurt anyone. usually.

they're all the real him and he switches between them as the situation calls for it. they've all got some fundamental similarities. we love all of them.

(check out part two!)

i know a lot of people think gojo would need someone who can dish back what he throws out. someone flirtatious. someone who doesn't back down. and i agree. but only to a certain extent. i feel like he would want someone like that for a fling. he wants that thrill, that excitement. but only for flings.

i feel like he doesn't even know it himself. but he needs someone nurturing to settle down with. someone who offers to buy him lunch before his missions even though he has all the money in the world. someone who reminds him to be safe before he goes out even though he's walking into a death zone. someone who can be patient and calm in the face of his recklessness. someone who can openly show him that they care, that they're going to stay, that they're here. someone who would be willing to take the first step in a relationship.

and of course he would want to challenge all of that. someone like gojo wouldn't be able to believe that anyone could care for him like that. not openly. not willingly. everything you give him with good intentions, he'd probably throw right back in your face, thinking it's a trick.

he'd think you're too kind. too good. too innocent. he'd want to ruin you or find some way to prove you wrong. so maybe he can't stand you or maybe he likes trying to rile you up. but only because that's his defense system speaking. he's panicking on the inside and that's why he's acting like that.

because he has all his walls up. he's flighty in relationships. and that's why he likes the ones who just want something temporary, something exciting for the night.

but what he needs is very different than what he wants.

if he were ever to settle down, it wouldn't be with someone who hates his guts (like utahime) or someone who can barely tolerate his antics (like nanami).

it would have to be with someone who can put him first. before their own work or anything else. he needs someone who puts him first. someone's who's willing to go all in. someone who just takes the dive. so that he can watch.

i know people have said this. and it's true. gojo's a follower. not a leader. and i agree. he needs someone who can take the leap first. and be willing to be vulnerable and open. so that he can do the same. like a "i'll show you my demons if you show me yours" kinda thing.

he needs someone who can do all of that vulnerability stuff and do it first. he needs to analyze it, to see it for himself, that there are no bad intentions. and then maybe he'd be willing to dip his feet in the pool. little by little. it would take time, of course, which is why i think he needs someone with a lot of patience. someone who doesn't assume the worst of everyone.

additionally, this doesn't mean that his partner is boring. they can still be playful and teasing and fun. but i think he also needs someone who can be soft openly. someone who can be sensitive without hesitating. someone who doesn't hide their feelings.

based on the way that he treats his students, i think he wants someone who he can protect. i think he's a protector over all else. he has all these powers and he can't just sit still with them. he needs to do something.

which means he needs someone who will show him off the way he shows off. someone who won't hesitate to toss out compliments for him and won't hesitate to claim him as theirs, leaving him in stunned silence. he just wants to belong to someone, you know. gojo satoru needs a home. more than anything.
