im the only person with an aries mars & mercury in my family, and out of everyone im the most softspoken and Quiet (i dont speak unless u ask me something very directly). its rly interesting to analyse stuff like this in real life, bc everything i read online about my placements says that im loud and yell a lot, which is just not true :') oddly enough, my mom (who has a pisces mars & mercury) is SO loud i have to actively tell her to speak quieter all the time. she also gets angry much faster than i do (instead of angry i just get exasperated and frustrated). idk its interesting to observe myself irl, in comparison to other ppl

Companies nowadays are getting SO comfortable asking for our social security numbers.
Like why tf does Optimum need my social to install wifi? They're just an internet provider, they don't need my social. I don't care that the last people living at my location didn't pay their bill, there are a dozen other ways to prove that I'm not them without me handing over my social.
Anyway, hot tip, legally you can refuse to give your social security in unnecessary cases like this. If a company needs to prove that you are who you say you are, they have alternative ways to do so.

豆豉鯪魚
I've been working on this comic for a little while, decided to finally call it done!
For context, they're eating fried dace with salted black beans, a salty canned food consisting of fish & fermented black beans in oil. Most of the salt is in the black beans, making them yummy but indulgent. It's a cheap & easy sort of Chinese comfort food.

Me and my best friend were talking about this, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. She told me it was an autistic experience, so if anyone else can confirm or give a name to this, it would be good.
I've found myself experiencing quite a bit of shyness when it comes to media other people would like me to try, and media that either of us would want others to try. And I've noticed this particularly when I change my mind on something.
Like not wanting to watch something until seeing something I like, and going back on "never wanting to watch" that thing. And I feel a lot of shame and shyness when that happens.
And I think it might be associated with rigid thinking, and/or being unable to move outside of our comfort zones. And just feeling like I'm unable to enjoy things unless I choose to.
And I haven't really found a particular word or symptom name to correlate this experience. So if you've experienced intense shame and embarrassment when trying new things like a show, series or game, reblog this post and talk about your experiences. I hope one of you at least has a word for this.
