I’m especially sensitive in my neck, so when it’s long enough to reach, I feel and am annoyed by it constantly. Like 10 years ago when I was growing out my short hair too I also just put it in a bun, but I left it there for so long because I was so sick of it that I literally had dreads when I took it to it eventually. Had those for a while until they got too long. I also feel like it’s a bit silly to have long hair if you’re only ever gonna have it in a bun. Why not just cut it off then. Same end result but way easier. I guess technically long hair in a bun is better if you want the option to have it loose, but to me that’s way more hassle than it’s worth.

Interesting. I’m not American so we don’t really have that over here I think.

I wish I could let my hair grow out. I tried for 3 years because after I got medication that helps with overstimulation, I thought/hoped long hair wouldn’t bother me as much. Boy was I wrong.

I did that for a good while when I was really sick of having my hair cut, and I thought at the time I could get away with a buzzcut, but looking back on the photos… I really can’t. I’m stuck with barbers for now

I love having my hair buzzed super short but unfortunately even my autism isn’t strong enough to not give a fuck about being a bald woman :(

Man, that’s the dream right there. I’d pay double for a decent robot barber

It was a pretty cheap barber which was all I could afford then, but it also means they don’t take quality as seriously as more expensive barbers. I’ve had a disconnected undercut for years and they were always messy as hell with the lines but I used to have long hair that I mostly wore down so it wasn’t really that visible. Now that it’s really short you can see everything and it just looks messy and ugly. It’s such a shame because the 20 minutes in silence was really amazing.

Yeah, I totally get that it meets a certain need for a lot of neurotypicals, that’s why so many barbers are like that. I’m happy for them it exists but damn it can be rough to find one who is more introvert/autistic friendly

I just spend like 10 minutes copying over all the color codes from my carefully tweaked Infinity theme, lol. Love it

I don’t get how they would snag more seats in an election right after the ridiculous domination of BBB though? Those people are still high on that win and see a giant chance to take way more political power. If that was the intention they should’ve waited at least a few more months or a year for that to die down a little or maybe even see some failures in the provinces here and there for BBB coalitions. I’m honestly scared as shit that BBB is now gonna be huge in the Tweede Kamer as well and we’ll have a coalition of BBB, PVV and CDA or some other nightmare shit.

I don’t dislike music, but I do view it as something very situational. I only listen to music when I’m going somewhere by bike or foot or when I’m working out. I blame my 4 years of being a mail carrier for creating this 1 to 1 connection between moving and listening to music. I never put on music when I’m home. But I dislike ‘background’ anything in general. I’ve never in my life put on a movie, TV show or podcast as ‘something to listen to in the background’. That’s baffling to me. Music is the same I guess. If I’m home it’s automatically background because I’m not gonna sit om my couch and stare at a wall while I listen to music. While if I’m working out or going somewhere I can intentionally listen.
