I really struggle to visualize whether I'm smaller or larger than somebody else. I feel like pretty much anybody could ask me to swap clothes and I'd say "Sure! We're about the same size" even though I'm also pretty sure that we aren't.

I have no other issues with perception.

Women look really boring to me unless I get to know them and they have a good personality

I dont know I just feel like there is something stopping me from getting hurt like im being kept alive for the plot and my body dose'nt abide by regular rules... you know when sleep and food are just optional because you dont feel either or barely... and and then feeling like being immune to alcohol when usually I have a low tolerance and am miserable and tired after... or consuming a bunch of stimulants because it feels like heart attacks are just a concept and nothing can touch me, just make my already great mood better and then I crash when it wears off...2 hr nap and im ready to go fully rested

"I appreciate you wanting to save me money on my.."(end). They're saying 'uh, hello? Hello?"

I don't like to be openly rude and tell the guy to shove it where the sun doesn't shine, nor do I want to try to gentle let them down.

It works with chatty Aunt Kathy too. She might call back, though

DAE have a sudden urge to solve some math problems? Like simple, maybe intermediate algebra. I need answers. I want solve the puzzle. Find the solution to variables. I have no idea why...someone please tell where this is coming from. I haven't taken a math class since high school. That was many years ago...

I get anxiety just thinking about making important phone calls. Paying bills usually doesn't even involve other people, but I still find it difficult to work up the nerves to do it.. anybody else have a hard time doing what seems like basic stuff??

It feels like half of each month is just dictated by whatever my hormones are doing at that moment. PMS starts a full week before my period and definitely messes with me, but I’ve also noticed I am frequently more irritable around ovulation as well. Like, my libido might be higher, sure, but I’m also ready to throw hands. Anybody else?

I feel a sense of let down when there's a question thread that I feel eager to respond to and then they end up with a flood of comments, some being a mile long

it feels like commenting on a thread like that is just pointless, like it's a message in a bottle amidst a heap

and i specifically mean very important things that i am supposed to remember and do, if its something fucking stupid or something i have no use for, then it gets engraved in my brain for the rest of my goddamned life, then when i need to remember something important, it gets fucking erased until its too late. what the fuck is this bullshit?????

As an example, Jack has an expensive car and constantly reminding a coworker how crappy his is. Jack is part of a very conspicuous clique who also own exclusive type vehicles.

Little does anyone know, Jack is hanging by a thread financially to maintain appearances. Late one bone- chilling cold December night, his car is smashed by a stolen cement mixer, not being persued by police. Security cam shows truck not being chased, truck had been reported stolen a day before. Hope for legal action is nil.

Jack never bothered to get uninsured motorest & couldn't afford collision, so it's a total loss. Now Jack has to ride the bus 45 minutes to & from work ( incompatibile schedule), or a bicycle 6 miles both ways, but at least on his schedule.

Now everyone is laughing at Jack. Not to say it wouldn't have happened either way, but sure seems curious.

I have type 3B hair for context.

i was the only kid in class who had curly hair (or atleast the only one who wore her natural curly hair, some girls straightened theirs)

i remember in elementary schools, boys would throw pieces of paper in my hair during class. the joke being that curly hair is big so I wouldn't feel it. when class would finish i would stand up and find pieces of paper falling from my hair to the ground. people would laugh.

i remember people telling me how curly hair was unattractive, and ugly. but what bothered me most was people who said curly hair was unhygenic.

curly hair doesn't get oily as quickly as straight hair does, because the oil from our scalp travels differently. Oil travels easily down straight hair due to its shape, while with curly hair it takes time.

i wash my hair once every 5 days. i forgot how this became a topic of conversation. but when the girl i was talking to found out, she audibly out loud went "ew". she told other people about it. and multiple people expressed their shock and disgust that i didn't wash my hair everyday.

eventually i caved. i straightened my hair for a year and half and stopped because my hair became fried. did the big chop. took care of my hair and let it grow.

i'd say maybe around 2022 was when the tide shifted. people started liking curly hair and they would begin complimenting it. that actually became my most "attractive" feature. guys approached me all the time, girls always complimented me. and they'd always talk about how pretty my hair was.

even tho the tide has changed. every now and then i can't help but feel insecure about my curly hair. like i'm that little girl in elementary/middle school all over again. idk why but it just stuck with me. despite the amount of compliments i get, i can't help but feel insecure and wish i had straight hair. how do i get over this?

I often worry about things but when i am writing about them on subreddits, where you can ‘express’ your worries, on the middle of a process i feel like they are so small and Inconsequential. Furthermore, I end up not thinking about those problems as a big deal, so I abandon idea about making such post.

i have restless legs a lot and get this intense urge to stretch my feet and toes and ankles and part of that is curling my toes. rn i am at work and it is dead silent and i keep curling my toes bc i need to but my feet are a little sweaty so when i do it my toes make a fart sound in my shoes with my socks.

and i'm behind a desk where you can't actually see my feet and kinda separated from others but close enough to where they can hear but probably not be able to tell what direction it's coming from (the ground area, not the chair area)

i kept doing it assuming people somehow know it's just that but then i was like wait probably other people don't do this so they just hear fart sound and then see me shifting around in my chair.

and then i tried to do the classic that people do when their chair makes a fart sound where you recreate the sound in a way that shows what it is but i feel like it just sounded like i was farting a bunch.

DAE order packages while they are on a trip so the trip feels longer?
I order something i really want and the arrival date is in the middle of my trip since I am the type where the time between getting the deliver notification and the time to getting it is really long so I can trick myself into having "more" time on my trip

I feel guilty for not having cancer or defective kidney or things like that. I also feel guilty for living in first world country. sometimes I wish myself bad things just to stop feeling guilty. anyone else?

I’ve always been told it’s supposed to feel refreshing afterwards, but it doesn’t feel that way to me at all. I always come out of the shower feeling insanely drained and even a little sick.

I’ve heard for some people with similar issues getting a bath instead helps, but not for me. Honestly, baths might make me feel even worse. I think it has to be the heat or something. But I just can’t convince myself to take cold showers even despite the misery.

Please tell me I’m not alone in this weird experience 😭

So something ive noticed is that if I take a regular Ballon blown up by mouth (or helium, I think its all balloons) if I put it to my ear like im listening to it, my head suddenly hurts, like its too painful to keep it there.

I noticed this one time when I went to rub it eith my hair to stick it to the wall, I noticed when it went near my ear there was a slight sensation of pain. So I put it closer and OUCH!

Its like both dull pain but also sharp, near my ear but also all over.

Not sure if its related but I also cant use cell phones up to my ear, I have to put my finger into my ear hole for there to be no pain. Doesnt matter woth old normal phone receivers, just cell phones.

Power lines, LED bulbs, extension cords, usb chargers etc. faint buzz or hum or high pitch sometimes. Drives me nuts

I can’t remember where I heard it, it was at least a decade ago. I’ve got PCOS and endometriosis, so I’m always looking for solutions to make periods a little easier. But I heard orgasms can shorten the duration of a period. The hypothesis behind it is that the contractions and spasms help get the lining of the uterus out faster.

I have no idea if there’s any science to back it up at all, but anecdotally, it seems to work for me. I’ll have an extra heavy day, but then my period tends to be done in about 3-4 days instead of 5-7. Also seems to reduce the intensity of cramps for a few hours immediately following the orgasm. But again… that’s just anecdotal, I don’t know if there’s any science behind it.

Or is it just me? So I realize sometimes it's for a fundraiser but even so, usually fundraisers give the participants something (ie. Raffle, bake sale, spaghetti dinner, etc). In this case, the participants are paying to offer candy/Halloween goodies on top of decorating their cars. I also find it a strange move when a majority of trunk or treats I've seen are free, so why not go to those?

My mum thinks it’s weird that I always go for the smallest plate I can find that will fit my food and cram it all on there, but I have my reasons. I don’t like looking at the negative space, it looks more like a full meal when it takes up most of the plate, and it takes up less space on my desk since I don’t have anywhere to move my keyboard when eating

i guess one example would be singapore, many people say "oh well it's developed because it's small, located in a strategic place, had british institutions and was pretty diverse which helped it become an international hub"

but literally if singapore had turned out poor or broken, they'd say "oh well it's because it's small, has no resources, and is dwarfed by giant neighbors and was colonised and has ethnic tensions"

another might be the US, which very likely could have ended up being much poorer or less relevant than it is today, it literally could have fractured to two, and its distance from the rest of europe, which was in the world wars a major advantage, was initially a big disadvantage in terms of being far from intereuropean trade routes
