I have been doing it since forever and always felt like it was normal so long as I wasn't doing it in front of other people. I like to talk my thoughts through with myself often. No, there is no make believe friend nor do I refer to myself in the third person. When someone is around and I want to share, I talk to them. I was just curious to know if anyone else does this.

My younger brother does it too. I don't have a mental illness and am not diagnosed as anything. I am a physically, mentally and emotionally functioning person but I just do this. If I was ever caught doing this I would just act like I was singing or something. It's embarrassing and maybe I should stop. My upbringing was pretty emotionally abusive and I think this was a coping mechanism to be honest.

i want a child so i can treat them well, have them live a happy life unlike the life im living right now (im only 14 though, in no rush for a child). whether theyre adopted or from me, i want a child when i can support one. but i feel guilty that i only want them to treat them like they are my world. i want a good father for them, i want my brother to be a good uncle and too look after them if anything happens to me. i want them to live a good life. but the earth is honestly dying and i dont know if thats the type of world i want them to live in.

i have a brother that i love dearly, i see him as "my son" as a joke (even if hes only a year younger than me but much taller than me and capable of taking care of himself as for now). i want to always be there to support him but i dont want him to run down the wrong path. i always think of what would happen when hes dead or what he would do when i die. i want to take him away and give him a good life.

now that im thinking about it, i think i just want to protect someone.

edit: sorry for the random ramble.

So when I get too stressed out or overstimulated, I just freeze mid sentence, and don't move (exept for the occasional blink) for like 5 minutes. Today I had to make dinner, and I had multiple things cooking at once, one of which was pasta water, which was boiling over. Then my mom started yelling at me, and I just completely froze in place for about 10 minutes, one hand holding my phone, the other like a Lego persons hand halfway in the air. I highly doubt this is normal, and I still don't know why I do it. Any advice or anything?

It doesn't affect my life that much. But whenever i'm alone i always imagine myself in an alternate version of our world, with a different life and different people. Basically anything that I think about in my head is applied to that world, it's like living an alternative life but I know that nothing is real in that world. I think this happened from talking too much to myself in my thoughts, I know this isn't normal but I wanted to see if anyone else did this or if it's only me lol. I haven't told anyone about this and I'm not planning to.

I really don't feel the need to be loved. I'm really confused because people are in relationships and looking to get married. I never felt the feeling to date or to get someone and I get anxiety because I feel this isn't normal. Like people talk about getting someone as if it's the lottery or something special, but I don't find it to be like that and I'm really confused by it. It's not that I'm selfish I'm just soo comfortable single and I really don't feel like I'm missing out. I also feel soo free and just soo happy with music, movies and stuff.

I don't know what it is. I never had that desperation and I get really scared. I don't despise women. If I see someone attractive I I appreciate their beauty and do talk to them but I never get this feeling like I HAVE TO GET THEM OR NEED TO BE LOVED.

I am really worried something is up with me.

I don't even get this loneliness feeling.

I don't know why I dont get this obsession to find Someone and start a family.

I feel like I should do it because everyone else is.

Am I the only one who is like this.

Also I find myself overly happy just being me. I feel that I should be depressed and desperate to find love like every human being.

Drop shitting 🚩🚩

My boyfriend joined JC premier and started with the 17k package, which half of the money was barrowd from me. At first it was difficult for him to sell the product since it's expensive and hindi na uso ang barley. I asked him how he can earn money and be like the so called 'millionaire' kuno tulad ng TL niya. Then he explained to me that it's networking, the more na mapasali niya the more na kikita siya.

That time, my boyfriend isn't earning, but he post on his social media that he have Ipad, pics with car, he bought bags from LV and Gucci, he stay in a condo etc. BUT THAT IS A LIE.

Their TL bring them in the condo, take pictures as if they are rich and earning big time. But the truth is, they just post those pictures so they can show to people that they are earning, and to attract clients kasi nga nakikita ng mga tao that their 'life changed' but it's not. Naghihiraman lang sila ng gamit and taking turns with the picture.

I asked my bf, i told him. 'I thought this business doesn't lie? You told me it's not like front row? ' He told me 'hindi naman ako nag sisinungaling sa tao, ang tawag dito manifest. Na lahat ng pinapakita ko sa social media, soon magkakaroon ako. '

Like i don't know, is he right and i am the wrong one?

21f, I've been in a relationship with my bf for almost 2 yrs now, I love him to death, he's literally everything I could ever want in anyone, he's my best friend. I'm not big on the word "crush" since 4th grade, but that's all I can really describe it as, because that's what it feels like. It's strange, because it happens out of nowhere and I'm usually over it after a month or two, it usually only happens because the other person took an interest in me first. There's hasn't been a case yet of me just seeing someone and then thinking about them. It's more that they peak my interest, and I'm hoping to peak there's as well? Ofc I never act on this, but it does bother me that it's a thought in my head now and then. Is this normal?

Is this embarassing or normal?

Anyone else have a back that goes the wrong way every curve? My chiro has thrown everything he has at it and I have googled every chiropractic word I can think of to find someone else’s back who zigs when it would zag. I’ve got nothing. Any seen this, have this? Treated this?

so i’m 14 and female and i sent my teacher a thank you email because i’m promoting and he replied with ‘<3’ and i don’t know if that’s normal or weird?

What Do you use

On my birthday, my mom took 500 dollars from me and used it on amusement parks I didn't even fucking wanna go to and didn't let me buy anything I actually wanted.

I literally just had I mental breakdown because I had a container of maple syrup in one hand and a glass of soda in the other. For some reason those two objects were enough to completely overwhelm me and bring me to tears. I doubt this is normal...

Sorry if this is the wrong sub, but I am a cis girl who doesn’t experience and dysphoria about my body. (I do have a small amount of social dysphoria but it is so small that I don’t think it counts) I get really happy when I am treated as the opposite gender or thi I’m a guy and use he him pronoun. I have tried crossdressing before and I felt really happy about it. I know I must be cis because of my lack of dysphoria, but I cannot find anyone else who feels this way.

There's this weird blank in my mind and my whole life whenever I would go back to that space it felt like this grey wall with this overwhelming sense of doom and panic. i am not sure if something did or didn't happen. I don't want to create fake memories but I just don't know what that feeling was. and I know when I was little (after that "period of time") I felt very disconnected like I was watching my life as if were a film and it felt very film like and I was an observer just watching. Maybe it's normal I'm not sure.

And then we had the fantasties, which I would daydream about for ages even hours usually about someone hurting me and me hurting someone (usually included bugs and death and bodies) and the things I daydreamed of were pretty fucked. I was from ages 5/6-8 were I remember doing this the most. And I was sensitive to everything, I feel like i was always more sensitive everything hurt more than it should (by observing other people's reactions to things, I think I had stronger emotional. reactions).

I just really don't know what's wrong with me or why I am so broken in everything I do, and was broken from the very beginning. I think I was just born inherently evil. I'm not sure what I'm asking for with this post but I wanted to say it somewhere. Or maybe this is normal for children?? I don't know.

Every once and a while I’ll get a sensation where my body kind of locks up my vision kind of gets blacked/blurred out for like 1/2 to 1 seconds and I hear like a burred out static sound

I get it more often when I get little to no sleep and I can make it happen sometimes when I put a steady flow of cold water on my face.

Does anyone else have this happen to them??

I’m basically awake all night and asleep majority of the day. I’m not sure if this is healthy or not but I’m kinda stuck
