I do think it looks pretty cool…but what about washing your hands? That’s the main issue with it I’d think.

OP, are you sure you are actually dehydrated? Are you getting kidney stones?

Most people don’t need to actively concentrate on drinking liquids. Your body will tell you when you’re thirsty. It’s a weird internet fad where people try to drink like a gallon of water a day. It’s not necessary. Your body tells you when it’s hungry and it tells you when you need to drink liquids. You’re not going to die from failure of the body signaling you to eat or drink.

Now, if you’ve had kidney stones, your doctor may tell you that you need to be drinking more water.

Beyond that, excessive water drinking is just the latest fad right now. It’s not necessary.

Thank you. That’s very kind of you, but I think if I wasn’t going to figure out anything at this point in my life that it’s just not going to happen. To describe things to people, I describe any sort of sensation that I feel in my crotch region as no different than if you were to touch your own elbow. You can touch or rub or lick or suck your elbow any which way you want, but it’s not going to feel at all pleasurable (I’m sure there are some people but that’s not really the point of my analogy).

It won’t necessarily feel uncomfortable, just won’t have any pleasure associated with it. If it’s so complicated that I can’t even figure out where to begin with finding even mild pleasure, then I don’t think there’s hope. It’s likely broken. Idk. I’m 32 btw.

As someone with a clitoris, sadly a (likely rather small) population of us still will never know. Mine seems to have come out nonfunctional from the factory. Sometimes I wish I could feel sexual pleasure like how a majority of the planet seems to.

Huh? Hasn’t this been known for years and years already? This isn’t groundbreaking. I was taught this in school many years ago.

Right??? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here that no one else is noticing the problem with that comment.

I’m not advocating on tolerating the intolerant. I’m simply not pro-eugenics…

It’s just odd to me that you are advocating for genetic control over others who want to use genetic control over others…

CBT always felt invalidating to me. I felt DBT was a lot more palatable and non-judgmental/non-invalidating. I’m not sure if it works for rumination specifically though.

I have always been a very socially anxious person. I can look incredibly confident in settings when I get comfortable. But then random things trip me up. I’ll be having a conversation with my friend/coworker and then just randomly clam up at a random question like “what did you have for breakfast?” I’ll like stammer and instinctively avoid the question because it catches me off guard and I have mega anxieties about feeling judged or rejected. But most of the time I’m fine lol. I even have talked about a lot of incredibly personal things with her! Yet I still do this on occasion with random basic things hahaha!

There was this one time where I got to attend a conference for work in a nice hotel. The first night I got there, I was so hungry and I was freaking out because I didn’t know how to find the hotel restaurant and it was the only thing open late. I asked the person at the check in desk where it was and they gave me general directions. I just for the life of me could not figure it out and could not bring myself to ask anyone else. I was straight up panicking. I went up to the hotel room and thought maybe I’ll just order room service but I was continuing to panic from earlier and couldn’t bring myself to call and try to figure out how to do that. I was so fucking starving but my terror of unknown social situations was preventing me from fucking eating of all things. I cried for like 20 minutes in the hotel room.

Then I mustered up the courage to go back downstairs and look for the restaurant again. Turns out it was outside and that’s why I couldn’t figure it out earlier. Had dinner and felt totally fine and comfortable and relieved. I interacted very normally with the wait staff!

It’s just random things like that. A lot of things go along find but then random things will put me in a panic for dumb reasons lol.

It’s weird because I feel like I have experienced that before. Before I was a daily coffee drinker, I would have a large one only very occasionally. Absolutely wrecked my stomach but sometimes I felt almost…euphoric? I always wondered if that was at all related to the coffee or was just random euphoria. Once I started drinking it more often, it never seemed to happen anymore.

You’d think I could just one day drink an amount excess of what I normally do, but that doesn’t seem to work either.

Is this ragebait?

Thank you. I’ve been on a journey this past year. So far I have finally started to accept myself and feel like my struggles and experiences are still valid and important. Been doing ok with it lately. But my coworker’s father has been in very ill health over many months and at this point he very well never make it back to being healthy. It’s slow and horrific and I fear he will die.

Obviously this is huge and traumatic and painful for her. I cannot imagine what she is going through.

But that little voice in my head is creeping back in telling myself that I should feel bad for making a big deal out of things in my life when people are going through shit like my coworker. Idk man.

If I disabled it, my typing would be infinitely worse lol

Mine will randomly autocorrect actual words into different words for some reason. It like thinks you have the word wrong contextually or something.

Mine likes to correct “it’s” and “its” back and forth with each other. It picks the wrong one 80% of the time and it’s pretty infuriating.

So far this has been working for me! Didn’t figure this out until my 30s lol.

But what’s the approach for when you go to bed and wake up and it’s a mess? Because brushing it at that point just turns into the OP also.

Problem with me is my cat doesn’t like to hide in general! He prefers being out in the open unless he is scared (uncommon).

Ah yeah that is what is happening in the OP. But I don’t understand the Stewie Griffin one.

I don’t get this one
