Local freak forgets that he is a freak ♡
God they cut off all the internet and cellular networks in Gaza
Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven't lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn't matter. It's okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.
That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you're struggling with, and it'll come up with what you need + other related how-to's:)
If you're having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:
How to clean dishes by hand
How to make your bed (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
How to fold clothes (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
How to take a shower & dry yourself off (also provides ways to shave beards, armpits, legs and genitals)
How to shave legs, armpits, beards, pubic areas, etc. (a more in-depth guide)
How to mop the floor
How to sweep the floor
How to swallow pills
How to make small talk
How to make eye contact in different situations (or how to avoid it while still looking natural)
It's also perfectly okay if these don't help or aren't appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.

A screenshot of an instagram post by salamsudduf which is also a screencap and repost by the instagram account palestinepromise. Text is as follows:
“Everyone in Gaza is disabled.
It’s not just the wounded, cancer patients, & women in childbirth. It’s the children with braces that can’t be adjusted. It’s contact wearers with no saline. It’s air strike-shattered glasses with no optometrist. It’s asthma sufferers lacking nebulizers & inhalers. It’s diabetics grappling for insulin & glucose monitors. It’s people with chronic illnesses who need regular treatment. It’s woman with endometriosis & even debilitating period cramps. It’s the deaf yearning for hearing aids. It’s people navigating their mental health with no support.”
What a dysfunctional squad.

"Actually the autistic way of communication is the superior one and allistics are so stupid for expecting me to-" No guys I'm sorry, but the road to effective communication is to actually listen, communicate, accommodate to the best of your ability and try to find a middle ground, not to develop separate superiority complexes
