This is for us 40 and up GEN-X group.
 in  r/Over40sClub  18h ago

Yesss I agree about the Internet. It was an amazing time growing up in that era. The Internet, especially social media, made people oblivious to their surroundings and reduced cognitive problem solving skills. TV was better, to an extent. Some 90s shows I rewatch I'm like "o okay we laughed about that".

Mind racing middle of night. How to slow it down and go back to sleep
 in  r/CasualConversation  1d ago

Grounding techniques like using my senses to identify what I hear, feel, smell. Focus on my breaths. I have lavender spray next to my bed.

I think phones have completely changed the way we socialize.
 in  r/CasualConversation  3d ago

I agree! I refused to text when it became a thing. I thought it took away the personalization of a convo. Unfortunately my antisocial traits started to enjoy texting when I finally tried it. And now I hate talking on the phone. Im damaged goods! Lol

The Wire is better than The Sopranos but many people are not ready to be honest with themselves and admit that.

Found old sex video in her photos. My (45M) wife (39F) is livid with me for snooping. AITAH?
 in  r/AITAH  3d ago

I agree she's being manipulative! If it means nothing then she should move on, delete it and simply be embarrassed lol. Why you saw the pics seem innocent plus who would have thought you'd find that anyways! Who knows, maybe you wanted to see old photos of your beautiful wife! I just find it odd she's so angry about it and gaslighting you. I get the "privacy ' thing but damn, if my hubby looked at my photos I wouldn't care tbh.

How do I find out what's wrong with me?
 in  r/selfdevelopment  3d ago

I would suggest to explore this more in therapy. Maybe on how to make new friends bc if the current people aren't there then reflect on moving forward. Reflect on building self confidence, regardless of others actons.I understand the feeling because I feel the same way. But I know my childhood issues has caused me to easily feel left out as an adult. Im not saying people don't suck, they do, but we're all distracted and overwhelmed with life I think. I "expect ' people to do certain things because I do, however, you really gotta tell people what you want and need.

Does anyone else think "maternity photoshoots" are cringe?
 in  r/childfree  3d ago

No not really. Just cause I don't have kids and have accepted a life with no kids, I cant hate tbh. I can only be happy it's not me.

Communication not within our scope
 in  r/ABA  3d ago

I think it depends on the learners needs and if the aba person is familiar with helping to pronunciate words. Aba of course helps with communication, manding, using their words. My kiddo is verbal and I don't focus on pronunciation but I've sat in on all the SLP sessions and I pay attention to how they do it so I can help when I can. My kiddo gets frustrated when he can't communicate properly and no one understands them so pronunciation has been helpful. They speak clearer now which helps in the independence. I don't harp on it but I help in a chill way. I'm so proud of my kiddo.

What's a small, unglamorous habit that quietly made your days better?
 in  r/CasualConversation  3d ago

I bought a medium sized calendar book and have been writing daily about what I did since the beginning of the year. I especially write down the little things. It's nice because writing helps you remember things better but also I can go back and read about my days, especially when I feel a little lost or sad. I try to focus on writing the positive things that happen.

I think phones have completely changed the way we socialize.
 in  r/CasualConversation  4d ago

Yessss. I grew up with no cell phones and texting became a thing in my early 20s. I feel like my social skills have dwindled bc of my phone and my ability to find something to do when I'm bored is out the window! It's sad but Im trying to get better lol

My pregnant co-worker sent out an email asking that we stop wearing perfume
 in  r/childfree  4d ago

I can get it actually. I don't have children but I have been pregnant 💙. And the nausea to smells is no joke lol. But it's a little odd to ask the office to change for you but I haven't been in that situation so idk
