Eta: It's National Short Girl Appreciation Day. Please don't get offended. A day like today makes me happy. Maybe I won't get made fun off for not being able to reach something from the top cabinets today 🤞

At 5ft1 I appreciate this 😊

Being a tall girl, I can attest to all these statements about short girls being true!

Happy short girls day!

I designate may 5th at noon to be the beginning of ‘Medium-height-girls appreciation days’. We’ll conclude mid-morning on May 7th. We’ll play croquet and golf and other medium-height appropriate sports. This year we’re celebrating with theme days. May 5th: wear sandals. Or heels. Nobody cares. May 6th: Camouflage Day! Or as medium height girls call it: Tuesday. May 7th we’ll go out and really paint the town beige. Come. Spread the word. Bring your ordinary friends.

Robbers must be underwhelmed by organized minimalists. There's so little to rummage through and what little there is would be in curated and labeled fabric boxes 🤷🏿‍♀️

Im somewhat cynical of those claiming to be minimalists.

How so?

Because i dont think most have a clue what its really like to live with minimal creature comforts, and or space.

I’d agree with you there. But what is minimalism to you? I don’t see it as the act of striving to have as little as possible just for the sake of having as little as possible

Then what would it be? If you claim to be a minimalist i would think the very definition would be one that strives to have the minimum. Otherwise i dont think the title of minimalist woud apply.

Well, as is the case with many things, it’s subjective. I’m a minimalist. I have been my whole life. It doesn’t have all that much to do with the number of items I own. It has to do with how I relate to it. And in short, I don’t want it unless it’s useful or makes me happy. Stuff, especially in excess, greatly impacts my anxiety levels. Therefore, having less of it makes me a happier person

Subjective? So you may very well be a minimalist....but with your line of thinking could a very wealthy person have the same mindset of only acquiring things that made them happy like Rolls Royce cars and helicopters? If they could own dozens of each but only chose one of each, are they minimalist? Does a minimalist like yourself relate to someone that could own 10 multi million dollar mansions only owning one?

Sure. It’s a mindset. You don’t default to being a minimalist based on what you can afford. It’s not about restricting yourself either, imo. You can be a minimalist but still have hobbies or interests for which you accumulate things.

This is a completely unrelated example that I hope will illustrate my point: people have varying definitions of being content. Each person defines it their own way. If someone says they’re content, who’s to argue with them? I mean what would be the point?

I get what you’re saying. It seems a little brazen to call oneself a minimalist without knowing what it’s like to be unable to own much. But that’s like someone who can’t have kids being cynical that someone could claim to be content who doesn’t have kids or want kids.

Anyway, I was just interested to hear your take. Please don’t take any of this in a combative tone. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on things

I will also say, i do not think as many things are subjective as we like to think.

I know this about you already because we have had a discussion about it before 😉

I, on the other hand, believe most everything to be subjective. (Emphasis on believe)

For example (and this is what we discussed before), what’s the tallest mountain on the earth? Seems like a straightforward question, but my answer would be.. it depends on your parameters. Define ‘tallest’. Above sea level? Height from base to tip? Including or excluding underwater? From the center of the earth? (Because a mountain at the equator will be further from the center of the earth than one at the poles due to the earth not being a perfect sphere)

I adore my parents but they raised me to see everything in black and white terms and I don’t know if it backfired or I rebelled but I have literally never been able to take things at face value. I’m constantly made aware of how things could be viewed differently depending on the viewpoint. I’m the world’s WORST to watch a movie with or tell a joke to because I need to consider all possible scenarios. I frequently wrote page-long essays on test questions explaining why the question could be interpreted in a couple of different ways and I needed to address them all.

It’s hard to explain but to talk to me at length about something/anything is to hear me repeatedly ask for clarification so we’re on the same page, because nothing seems like a given. It’s extremely annoying actually. I don’t know why it’s so hard to simply understand what people mean

I love your brain

I call myself a "fence dweller" b/c I see so many different angles - and can justify most even if it isn't my first thought.
Am def literal, to a fault I feel - like I have to look up words routinely

...understanding what people mean is not as simple as understanding the language, nuance, context, environment...and rando stuff

But betcha I'm worse to watch a movie with! - I have to take random breaks to like dust a table or fold or do more laundry
...and I'm usually (almost always a bit delayed) late to get a joke *too much thinking*

YES

To all of it, but especially the bolded. Very well said.

Last summer my cousin asked me if my parents had ever checked to see if I was on the spectrum. He asked specifically because of some telltale symptoms I had when I was little (rocking and rhythmic chanting to self-soothe, affinity for numbers, extreme social anxiety, sensory issues and others). I told him I didn’t think such things had ever been on my parents’ radar when I was young. Later my sister hissed to me “I can’t believe he asked you that, how rude!” I was extremely surprised by her reaction. To me it was a comforting thought to consider because it made so many little things from my childhood make sense. Like a solved puzzle.

Ultimately I know that if I am indeed on the spectrum, getting an official diagnosis would be irrelevant at this point. If I have aspergers or autism (maybe those are essentially the same?) it would be of the highly-functioning sort. Just the same, the idea has been like a warm hug of sorts. Maybe I do better with labels, I dunno

@CacoEther

I recently asked my psychiatrist if I was on the spectrum.

She replied:

" Oh no, you're just a *kitten* *kitten* with a broken moral compass and a fractured awareness of anything decent or virtuous . This is combined with a depraved sense of humor bordering on sociopathic. You also have no sense of responsibility and no ability to feel sympathy, never mind empathy, for anyone or anything. "


I answered:

" Wow, okay.... thanks; for a minute there I thought there might be something wrong with me. "
