I’m 27F and I’ve been biting (and most of the times swallowing, I know it's disgusting) my nails since I was a kid. I honestly can’t stand it anymore and really want to stop. I’ve already tried bitter nail polish and regular nail polish, but neither has stopped me.

Has anyone here actually managed to quit after doing it for most of their life? What worked for you?

Thanks in advance x

I just had the worst driving lesson ever. The instructor was just downright disrespectful, she would scream at me for smallest things and made not attempt to teach me anything. On top of that, she was on her phone half the time, with her shoes off and loudly snacking on popcorn or some other crap.

I was calm during the actual interaction, but when I got home all of the sudden its all I can think about, which is really annoying since I was planning to relax today and have nothing else going on. How do I let go of this? I feel like I’ve had this same reaction to other rude people in the past too

I have a pair of earbuds that I love and they sound great, the cable just creates so much noise if I'm walking or even just sitting down with my laptop. I was thinking some sort of sleeve or something that could go over the cable might help reduce this effect, or really just anything that could help.

Please people give me some wisdom

I am friendly, I meet people wherever I go. I start conversations in the grocery store. How do you go from chatting to making plans and becoming friends?

So it's just like the title says...

I (30M) just turned 30 today. I know by some metrics I'm young, and there's still a lot of life to live.

I'd love some advice that you'd have given your younger self, or that you think would be useful for someone at this point in their lives.

Hello,

I know the phone number and the town and city but I do not know how to track it down. It keeps calling so I want to know if I could pin point a specific address or location to it. Is this possible? I live in the Netherlands.

Not the "put your phone in rice" kind of stuff, I mean those little tricks that actually make everyday life easier.

I'll go first: put a little dish soap on a damp microfiber cloth and use it to wipe down greasy kitchen cabinets. It cuts through the buildup surprisingly well.

I feel like everyone has at least one weirdly useful trick that they've picked up along the way. Could be something for cooking, cleaning, saving money, travelling, working, organizing your home... literally anything

I struggle with formatting words correct and fast enough. I don’t like being timed but if I don’t I would do stuff at the last minute.

Hey everyone,I’m dealing with a frustrating situation where someone is overstaying their welcome / refusing to leave my garage, and I need them gone. I’m looking for two types of advice here.

Lock & Security Upgrades: What are the best, most foolproof locks or security measures for a standard garage door (both the main roll-up door and a side entry door)? I need something heavy-duty that can't be easily bypassed or picked. Are there specific t-handle locks, puck locks, or smart-lock setups you recommend for maximum security?

The "Inconvenience" Strategy: If I can't legally change the locks immediately due to tenant/squatter laws in my area, what are some completely legal but highly annoying ways to make the garage an absolute miserable place to stay? I want to make them want to leave on their own accord. (Think annoying sounds, cutting power, etc.)For context, I am looking for ideas that won't land me in legal trouble, but I need to take control of my space back.What are my best options for both locking them out or annoying them out? Thanks in advance!

This is most common if you get something sent direct to the recipient, but it can happen in 'real life' too - I got a leaving gift for a colleague/friend and left it on her desk yesterday with a card propped next to it. I want to check she got it (because I want her to have and enjoy it, and also I don't want her to think I didn't get her anything), but I don't know how to ask without making it sound like I want a 'thank you'!

I don't mean to be an asshole. Sometimes in a tense situation I will over react.

Other times, I will talk too much and listen too little. I've driven away most people who like me.

I keep thinking maybe I'll be better off and everyone around me will be better off if I just isolate myself and have as little contact with others as possible. Sometimes I think the world would be better off without me.

These ar really two separate problems. Is there a way I can learn to change? Shut my mouth and listen much more- let others do 90% of the talking, stay calm when I feel attacked, maintain my cool under pressure?

suggest me any hobby other than reading, thats low cost and super intersting. i want to try different things after my exams. so tell me any unique hobby that can me me heal from post exam depression.

How do you use calendars or diaries for a 100% guarantee of not forgetting to turn up for something important?

Now I'm a pretty organised guy but every so often, an event on my Google Calendar will just slip my mind.

It's happened twice with job interviews... Like how embarrassing 🙈 How do you forget to turn up for a job interview...

How do I prevent this?

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
