I know this is screaming into the void on a 4chan community, but if you're smashing electronics in fits of rage you should probably go to therapy.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

...unless it's an N64 controller, and you just got blueshell'd in Mario Kart/Oddjob'd in GoldenEye, in which case that's perfectly normal behavior
unless it's an N64 controller
is sufficient (I always hated that thing and still don't know how to hold it -- I didn't have an N64 and only played it a few times).
Holding it is very easy. This is how you do it:
The answer is that you needed a different controller layout for different games so you would grab the handles that were needed essentially allowing for about 4 different options.
The problem was definitely when everyone started realizing if you had the buttons they wanted to program them to do something and you had to get weird with reaching between.
Xbox controller is also fine, as long as you intend on ordering a new one only to get a bong in the mail
Fair.
If you’re still losing to blue shell in Mario kart after all this time please delete the game and stop wasting your time
Oddjob’d in GoldenEye
The deep knowledge
Nah therapy is bad. Instead, start drinking and buy a gun. It makes life a lot more fun.
some of them have it coming
Anon needs anger management therapy, ignores warning signs.
Maybe don't be a little baby who breaks things in a fit of rage. Next time you feel like taking your anger out on physical object, simply don't. Breaking something, feeling bad about it, and learning from the experience is an important part of growing up.
Yeah. Insults. That's how angry people learn.
Some people are not taught, by their parents, how to handle anger or frustration. I don’t think we should be calling them out for this, as people don’t learn that way.
Object personification in autism: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30101594/
Yes
The medical field is largely based on Western culture. Especially mental health diagnoses are pretty arbitrary.
This is pretty much what I was wondering. How many of these classifications (such as autism) cross cultural/linguistic boundaries?
Obviously nitpicking one identifying characteristic (object personification) isn't really valid to dismiss the diagnoses entirely. Perhaps it's a valid diagnostic and Japanese culture is just more accepting of certain autistic personality traits, where American culture would suppress them. Identification of weird/unusual/possibly unhealthy behavior can be hard to separate from cultural norms.
I don’t have any specific examples off hand but HealthyGamer on YT is a psychiatrist with both a western medical degree and traditional training in India. He often compares the two, where they align, etc.
That section wrh similar articles towards te bottom is dangerous. I just went on a 30 minute dive reading abstracts of recent research studies of autistic people and only stopped because I have to get to bed soon. I'll be back for more tomorrow.

Aw, come on! It's 3am. I need to get to sleep within the next hour or I'm gonna miss a task on my to don't list (stay up til 4am).
Now I feel bad for a phone
I'm gonna guess emotionally stunted development, but that's just a guess from someone who has spent a lifetime recovering from the same. I haven't fucked myself over by doing shit like breaking my own property in years. Therapy helps.
anon doesn't know how to fix a phone
Some of you feel sorry for the creamer, that is because you are crazy. Tacky items are easily replaced by better ones, from Ikea.
This reads like a bad AI wrote it.
It's from an old commercial, pre-AI
Jesus dude that reference is getting downright esoteric lol I don't think I've ever seen a television ad for Ikea before lol
Here it is for anyone who was as confused as I was
It's the only Ikea ad I can ever remember seeing
