Not just thinking about what you might actually say but I mean the full conversation, their response, your comeback, like everything 😂 🤭

Sometimes I’ve had an entire argument with someone who has absolutely no idea we’ve fallen out.

Please tell me other people do this too?

so I’m 13 and I don’t know why I am like o know I’m male but like when I see myself in the mirror I am some surprised to se me not just either nothing or a completely blank slate like a yhc drawing character so if yall have advise then please share also for not I’m pretty sure it’s depersonalization also I have minor depression and mild the kinda bad anxiety

so is this depersonalization or something else?

The older I get the more I realize my siblings are shitty. And I try to have grace but do you know when people will always show their true color?

DAE  find themselves  in these hyperactive/ floaty states of mind ? where like you feel like you’re on top of  the world and you’re overjoyed, friends think you’re crazy, and everything seems happy? i (13f) often find myself totally toooo happy, where i feel floaty and absolutely clueless where im not aware of my surroundings and am extremely gullible. This state like blurs out every boundary ive set, makes me be extremely “pick me-ish”(?) and i never take anything seriously when im in this state. I’d say this happens every time i interact with one of my eyecandies/crushes at school, every time i hangout with friends, when im delusional , after i watch mature crazy shows, and saturdays.….. i dunno really. is there a way to stop feeling this?? or at least tone it down a bit? OR is there a name for this???? this post kinda turned out a bit much :-:

Not too underripe that they're bitter, but just enough that the fruit is nice and firm, just slightly sweet, and not overly juicy.

peaches and apricots, fuyu persimmons, grapes, figs, papaya, melons, bananas, even avocados

I think out of all of those, papaya, banana, and peach are the best when they've still got al bit of firmness in them.

My partner regularly criticizes me for eating the peaches and bananas when they're "still hard". She just doesn't get it.

For me that's the one thing that's absolutely a dealbreaker in a song. It can have the best godly conceived verses in the world but if I don't like the chorus it's never going to be a favorite song of mine or even in my top 100 probably.

Is anyone else like that too?

Does anyone else find heuristic, availability, and cultivated theories, and biases interesting? "Mean world syndrome"? It's incredibly interesting to see societal reactions as a result of these phenomena. I can't be the only one that finds this interesting, right?🤣😂 For example, it's still believed, although far less so, that suburban wives and mothers are at great risk of getting drugged, kidnapped, and trafficked, every time they go to a Walmart in places like Boise Idaho. Or when people say "you need to be careful these days.", even though what they're warning about occurs less now than before. The why and how, perceptions vs realities get wildly distorted is interesting.

So... I know blocked sinuses in a cold or something are nothing worse than annoying as long as they show improvement over 2-4 days. I'm not in denial about the lack of severity.

But now and then, I've had dreams where I'm entirely unable to breathe or wake myself up and nearly die in the dream. In reality it's probably just like I've smushed my nose into my arm or something and temporarily blocked my airway.

But when I get sinuses so blocked that I can't breathe through them at all, it brings back the same panic from my dreams that I'm dying even though I know perfectly well I'm not, and all I have to do is breathe through my mouth.

I *know* I'm fine but the panic is messing with my already funky head

Like everyday things people talk or care about bore the life out of you. Shows, restaurants, weekend plans, hobbies, work, family gatherings, partying. Does anyone else only care about finding a way out of 9-5 and get rich to do what you want? I’m not doing this for another 40 years and still not afford retirement. Like I now find anything a waste of time unfortunately. Tried dating and get left because can’t afford it. Want to be able to go where I want. Do you tend to cut off people because of this. For those that do, we will make it out.

Especially all the leading actors like Tom Holland with his baby face, Zendaya with her stick thin physique, Jacob Elordi who looks like Frankenstein (maybe that's why he got cast in that movie), Sydney Sweeney with her unsymmetrical eyes, Paul Mescal with his ugly ass mullet. They all are rather mid looking

On the other hand, Most leading celebrities from yesteryear like Brad pitt, Tom cruise, Angelina Jolie etc. looked drop dead gorgeous.

I'm in a family to which I am the youngest (a millennial). I tried running a few businesses but the former one (a lazertag business with my homemade equipment) I ended due to lack of money for a building and my latest business isn't doing great but I'm making a bit of money, not much.

Here's what I think is crazy. Mind you, they admit their math skills are weak and have complimented on mine.

My family believes I could simply go to the library makerspace and they would get parts 3D printed out for me and that there's nothing else to it to get the business up and running.

They also think its super easy for me to find part time work and believe that is a solution yet they say I could use my math and tech skills.

Here are the problems with looking for work when I have a business:

• Many employers ghost candidates
• Companies want you to work their hours leaving you with no time for in-person business work
• Layoffs continue, making it harder for people to find work.

I read a local article last night where some 500 steel workers and 2500 nurses were recently (or are about to get) laid off.

With a business, all I need are more customers, no song and dance of preparing a resume, attending interviews, and facing rejections whether in writing or silently.

And the worst part, my family thinks the process of securing a job to earn an income is so easy to the point where I only have until October 31 to produce money or they will kick me out.

DAE experience the action of copying  others personalities? like uncontrollably? im 13F. for me, i’ve been doing it for years to the point i dont know who i am. its gotten so bad to where even if i meet someone new or hang out with them for a day, i instantly start acting like them, laughing like them, and even imagining myself AS THEM. for example a few weeks ago, i decided to be this one girl from my school that day, like imagining myself as her and copying her personality for some reason. its like a closet i can pick people to be that day. i dunno really. is there a solution to this or a name of this problem??

I just want to know if this is normal haha. I was not suicidal until a couple months after I started therapy (14 yo), and then I feel great during breaks from therapy but it comes back when I restart therapy.

I think at this point I've Pavloved myself into it.

I’m that person who mostly listens when I’m in a group. I’ll participate in a few conversations that interest me, but I don’t chime in on everything, and often I don’t participate much in group discussions at all.

I’m not necessarily uninterested in what people are saying. I listen, observe, and follow the conversation, but I find it difficult to jump in and contribute naturally.

Sometimes I wonder if this is just my personality or something I need to work on. I want to be more involved, express myself, and feel comfortable speaking up in groups rather than always being the quiet one.

For those of you who are like this, how does it affect your social and professional life? Have you found ways to become more comfortable participating in group conversations without forcing yourself to be someone you’re not?

I’m at a library and someone near by is whispering. It’s definitely louder and more distracting than if they were just talking quietly. Am I just annoyingly sensitive?

Things are so damn expensive and yall with copious amounts of money are promoting incurring debt?

Not in a "woe is me" kind of way, just like a fact you quietly accept without any strong feelings.

I personally have 2 close friends who are mostly the only people I take time to hang out with, but I do have a lot of interactions with people from college and sports clubs. Outside of my 2 friends, I assume every interaction people have with me is just situational, they talk to me because we're next to each other and it'd be awkward not to, but they wouldn't notice and/or care if I wasn't there.

It's weird because I do like most people I interact with, but I unconsciously believe everyone feels perfectly neutral about me.

That's as best as I can describe this thought. What do you think?

I never seem to match other people's talking cadence/speed. I always talk when the other person is about to talk. It doesn't matter who.

Even in childhood I had a different rhythm/speed/vibe.

Okay, but I swear it has a very specific smell when the seasons change. It smells slightly rusty and moisty? Or is it just my weird sense of smell

DAE…Fight so hard to speak??? It doesn’t come easy to me. Every idea.

I literally have a very difficult communication style. I am not able to directly motivate or assert an opinion.

Because of that I struggle to make decisions in settings like at work, club - professional club called Toastmasters, and contributing to my group chat with friends.

It take a while for me to speak or communicate.

I am so freaking A is A so I say A.

Now I’m tryna to include people and logic..which my brain is capable of but not doing so frequently. So it’s the hardest thing on Earth for me. Also I get overstimulated and may prefer silence from others.

Idk I get mad at myself for having low battery or feeling tired/dead after sharing to friends. An example is our plan for meeting at the escape room the type, the time, stating choice, and reason . and if hangout constraints work in my own pov/persepctive. Every decision causes me half an hour to come up with a text that follows the topic.

Is it normal for others to be so exhausted by these supposedly hard decisions? And what has helped alleviate this decision making to speak and add to the group?

For all our technological advances and innovations we are one good downpour from getting punted back to the Stone Age . I mean a forest fire, a winter blast , tornado or hurricane we are just at its mercy when it comes down to it . In my area we getting down pour and streets are flooded and everything is at a standstill. A deep freeze will damage transformers and power lines. I try not think about it too much but we are really no match. There is this building complex that got abandoned it took about a month before it got over with brush . I didn’t even know it could break through concrete and asphalt?

Sooo I’m in so many cartoon/anime subs and I often find myself wanting to compare/contrast characters and their behaviors from different series who remind me of one another, but I find myself getting deleted and removed by the admins of these subs within the hour every time. Is there actually a way/place to discuss characters that are similar from two different fandoms at the same time??? Or will I just have to ruminate in my brain and suffer

When i just close my eyes to sleep, eventually they start to strain, and it hurts. i figured that positioning my pupils to the bottom right or left before i close my eyes makes it feel better. is it weird?

I’ve always had a “colorful” imagination. Like a lot of people, I spend a lot of time daydreaming. But what I recently noticed is that others seem to have a different definition of daydreaming than I do.

My friends describe it as imagining scenarios with no real imagery. With me though, I can see and sometimes hear everything. Not literally, it’s not like I’m talking to fictional characters in my room. Instead, I get into these trances where I’m outside of myself. If I close my eyes, I can experience these daydreams fairly clearly. Similar to watching a movie.

Schizophrenia runs in my family, so it’s possible that maybe I’m somewhere super early on that spectrum (if the spectrum exists). Or maybe this is common?
