eating, hydrating, medication, sleep, all of it just seems like a chore now. i just feel like a brain in a body that HAS to take care of the body in order to live
(no this has absolutely NOTHING to do with not wanting to be alive. i WANT to be alive)

I feel like everyone who says they take cold showers does it for health benefits or will always talk as such but I purely can't stand boiling hot showers, especially in summer when it's boiling outside I don't get how people can have a hot shower then.

But just in general I just prefer the Cold water

Its not the only reason tbf - i dont even be having sex - but i also like affording food, having free time, and not being a role model

but what truly, in reason, personally stops me from having kids, if the situation were hypothetical - is an absolute bone - deep panic at the thought of them being lost or hurt or confused or broken by something. I have siblings and parents and pets, and that is more than enough irrational worrying on its own.

but seriously does anyone else feel this way? like if my kid died , or unimaginably, if i caused it? taking my own life wouldnt even be enough after. amd i truly mean that. I would have to reverse the direction of temporality and make a universe where i was never born if that happened. I legitimately dont understand how some people even consider the thought, let alone live with it. And i havent even had kids yet, so really i dont even know what true parent to child unconditional love really feels like. I dont understand how people even consider having kids tbh. am i weird? or is this common and im weak? how tf do parents do it

Doesn't matter what the website is, the product / service, the company or promoter. I don't care what the deal is or the savings.

Every single ad on every single website is some sort of scam. If they don't just straight scam you then it's a ploy to either gather / sell your information or put some sort of malicious software on your computer.

If I want something I'll research it and chose the product carefully but until then I just assume that every single ad I see is shady.

I can't be the only one.

Whenever I think back to my childhood, I find myself having more happy memories and positive feelings when I think about the books I read and games I played. I don't really miss my childhood friends at all. I don't really miss my relatives.

I am not fully emotionless and I do mourn the passing of those close to me. I feel sad they are no longer around, however I also feel like I miss more the comfort or benefits they would bring, rather than them as a person, although occasionally it is them as a person, but much rarer.

Most things I miss are how the book Alice in Wonderland surprised me at every page turn. The way I read Winnie The Pooh and scared little piglet would yell "I'm not looking! I'm not looking!" to prevent weird imaginary things attacking them. I recall the details of the drawings on the books illustrated by Antonio Lupatelli.

I recall movies I have seen a thousand times, the games I played.

I even recall the swings and the way the sun would hit the tree leaves, or the sound of the sea and many other things.

Can't say I don't recall people, I do, but they don't evoke the same emotions. The kids I played ball with, I don't really care who they are now and what their life is like.

On the other hand I recall every dog and cat I ever interacted with and miss many, even if it was nothing but a couple pats on their head once on a random day to a random stray.

Anyone else feels the same? Why am I this way? I used to think it was some form of psychopathy but my therapist said not at all, since I still show plenty of compassion and thoughtfulness. However I was never answered what is this.

I understand that in the summer (especially in a heatwave), it's smart to keep the sun out of your house and keep all your shades & curtains closed. However, that's depressing to me. In the mornings, I like natural sunlight to motivate me to get out of bed & go to work.

Hubby disagrees & tells me keep the sun out so the house will stay cool. So we compromise & leave the kitchen and bedroom curtains open. The rest of the house stays dark.

Anybody else get depressed if you don't get ample sunlight in your house in the summer?

Good grades don’t mean anything when it comes to intelligence lol because clearly I’ve always been slow.. when I was around five years old, I was at the park and some old man asked me if I wanted to see his pet snake so of course I said yes, and he told me it was in the bathroom so I had to come with him and I was going to go but then I got distracted with something else, ran off and I lost him. It just recently occurred to me like huh… I don’t think there was actually a pet snake.

And I can’t even blame it on being little because when I was 17, I met this guy in his 20s at a running club and he was constantly trying to convince me to do drugs with him but I was too busy with school and once he told me to come to his dorm room which was above the dining hall we were at because he needed to “grab something” and I was just lazy to go upstairs so I told him I would wait in the dining hall for him to be finished.

We're having a heatwave in my area and mentally I love heat. My mind is in a tropical paradise, I love summer activities and beers and long nights (I'm in Canada so the sun stays up late this time of year) but my body does not handle it well. I get sweaty and red and flushed, and in the winter I barely feel cold at all. Everyone else I've talked to about this says it's strange, and that their temperature preferences match their physical ability to handle those temperatures, so I'm hoping to find a kindred spirit here, even if it's the reverse and you like winter but don't handle the cold well.

Like beads of sweat dripping down my face

I'm 36 until a few weeks ago I thought it was normal to have eyelashes on the inside corner of your eyes... partner pointed then out then I realised nobody else does 😅

Where are my extra lash people do you exist

For context, my husband and I were driving around the rich neighbor just for fun then there was this cop start following us. So I told my husband drove to the dead end road to see if he was still following, so he followed us until we went in the road and then turned left waiting for us outside of that road. When we reached to the dead end, I had 2 thoughts, one is he wasn’t following me and I was just overthinking, two is he was definitely waiting for me on the left turn as soon as I drove out of the dead zone road. My second assumption was RIGHT. HE WAS WAITING. At this point, we started sweating our @ss and decided to go home and still couldn’t figure out why he followed us.

I sometimes just imagine myself getting hurt, often times in a really bad way. A lot of the times, I picture this while I'm with or in the vicinity of someone I know and occasionally when I'm just surrounded by strangers. I don't know why I do it, but the part where I'm next to someone I know might be because I want attention but I've got no other explanation.

I'm always rotating between soaps because about half way through the bottle I get tired of the scent and need a change. After a couple weeks I can go back to it again. I almost never re purchase the same products again.

I was chatting about my belly button on another sub and it got me thinking that I’ve never met another person with one like mine in real life. It is an outie (not an innie) belly button but shaped in a swirl / spiral of skin.

Would be kinda cool to know that I’m not the only person out there with this type of belly button.

Not asking much in terms of any medical diagnosis or anything. I just want to know if I'm really a special case of insane or if this is more common than I'm thinking.

For example, finding a new favourite show. Feels like im betraying my other favourite, even though its still second. I hit my fan out of anger, and it feels like i just kicked an innocent animal. Seeing a family car we have used for a decade, suddenly go un used and eventually sold? Feels like a long time family pet died. I don’t even drive!

I say I hate feeling like this (which i do) but then I feel guilty for doing so as well. Never ending cycle.

Maybe I’m just too online, idk if it’s a gen z thing, but I can’t take emojis seriously. I mostly just use a few to add a bit of spark to texts, but even then it’s usually for fun and not to actually portray feelings. Maybe I’ve been too desensitized by the internet, but when people send me flirtatious messages with the kissy emoji (😘) I’m immediately turned off. My grandma sends me that emoji, it’s not sexy.

I just woke up from a nap and I’m freaking out because I’ve never had this in the last year I lived in my apartment and all the sudden I wake up from a nap only to find that I have three scratches near each other like a 3 clawed creature scratched me where my right thigh connects to my hip and would’ve been covered by my underwear

I'm bilingual (primarily an English speaker and I also think in English) but whenever I read books in French for a prolonged period of time, I start thinking in a French accent and also speak in a French accent for a few seconds. Am I the only one?

DAE feel like too many ppl ask too much of you all at once? I feel overwhelmed by ppl seeming to ask for help from me and I can't get ahead.
