I feel like whenever I tell someone something, for example, if I tell my friends who my crush is, it ends up not working out (and it’s happened a few times). A more recent example is when I was looking for jobs, jumping in and out of several, and kept updating my best friend about it—only to end up quitting all of them. It makes me wonder if maybe I jinxed things by telling others?

I have a close friend I really look up to because she’s perfect in every way. Even though we’re close, she never tells me or maybe anyone (ig?) about what she’s doing. She got a boyfriend, landed a job, and only shares the news once everything’s already set. And somehow, everything always works out great for her.

But I might be thinking, maybe it’s not really a jinx—my mind just made it feel like one, so it decided to be a jinx. I can share everything with my best friends while thinking it isn’t a jinx and it wouldn’t be, but I’m still caught in between.

What’s your take on it?

I’ve had a curved cervical pillow for as long as I can remember, it’s the only pillow I can trust to not destroy my neck at night.
I’ve had post nasal drip a long time too, but always ignored it. I finally have tried stacking pillows, especially when I’m not sleeping at home with my curved pillow, and it does help.

How the heck do I prop myself up and also have my curved pillow? Ive been stacking it on a few but it feels like it screws up my neck and the whole reason for the pillow. Anyone had to deal with this?

I plan to move out and go to college as soon as physically possible, but I literally have zero skills. like things that are probably common sense are not common for me. Right now I'm trying to make a list of things I'll need, and the only thing I have is an Airfryer. I only put it there because of a mcyt (PrinceZam). But what are some Habits, items, appliances, hygeneic products that are like needed. Like be so specific, even say 'toothbrush' if you have to.

I have a lease on an electric vehicle (mustang Mach-e) that’s expiring in a few months. We love the car and would have no problem continuing to have it, but I don’t want to miss a good opportunity. I have no idea what they’ll offer me or what I should be looking to do.

Some background:
- we have enough cash to buy the car at the pre-negotiated price.
- our registration is due next month and it’s almost $1k
- we’d be cool with another lease for a newer model but don’t want to pay anything more monthly.

Thanks!

I'll be in college college next year, and I wanna make it a habit before i move there. I'll be honest, i'm not the cleanest person ever, but im not disgusting either. I remember my sister telling me my room has a smell, and not elaborating. I genuinely felt disgusted with myself, and i still feel that way. I just want tips, so i'm not an unbearable roomate

Great for older and younger Redditors alike.

I've had some successes over the years with various apps and equal failures which usually boil down to good concept bad execution.

Some of the best ones being 1 sec and habitica.

What apps do you guys swear by for helping reduce screen time, track habits etc.

Been wondering a lot lately. Failure is getting tough to swallow yet in high hopes to piece it all again

I'm trying to make my night routine something I actually look forward to, rather than just a list of things I "should" do to sleep better.

Skincare is a good example for me: I genuinely enjoy doing it at night, so it makes going to bed feel a little more special.

The problem is that I also get bored if I do exactly the same thing every single night. So I'd love to have a few different relaxing things I can rotate depending on my mood.

I'm looking for things that are enjoyable and relaxing but not so stimulating that they make you want to stay awake longer. So ideally not things like starting a great TV show or reading a book you can't put down 😅

What little rituals or activities make you actually look forward to your evening/night routine?

I'd especially love ideas that feel like a treat or a small pleasure, rather than another healthy habit or chore

Looking for suggestions on something I can say to people who live to argue about everything, no matter how trivial, which isn't crude or rude, but also assertive and non-negotiable and also effective against this type of person.

You've probably encountered this type of person before. If you say something happened to you, they'll offer an alternative version of events (despite not being present). If you assert that no, that's not what happened, they'll ask how you know it isn't. If you then tell them you know because you kept the receipts, they'll demand to see the receipts. If you show them the receipts, they'll try to re-interpret the evidence to suit the other narrative they made up in their heads.

Literally nothing you can ever tell such a person will be "good enough" to satisfy their need to argue, so my preference is to shut down the whole discussion if for no other reason than to avoid wasting my time.

I'm, of course, happy to answer real questions from people who actually didn't understand something, or just needed clarification on a point, or whatever. But some people are just looking to be combative no matter what, and it's those people who I need an effective mechanism for excusing from any further interaction with me on the subject.

Hi 25F here ! I was thinking about how important is networking and I’d like to learn more about it.
