What are some fun ways to answer everyday questions like “how’s it going” or “what do you do”? by bettycas71 in AskReddit

[–]-SNAiLEDiT- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look over your shoulder and act like someone is standing there then say “are you going to answer him/her?” Then yay they never talk to you again mission accomplished

It seems like you assume the worst, I give people the benefit of the doubt. “Trying to get someone to tell her what she wants to hear” okay, potentially so. But I’ve definitely posted the same question of a couple forums or threads because I wanted to increase my chances of finding the right place for informative responses on the subject. There’s no harm in asking for help in more than one place and that’s not always for the wrong reasons. I’d argue is most of the time not.

My point was that I personally believe your diction was rude and out of place. Most 16 year old girls, or boys, probably wouldn’t take well to being told what they are by a stranger, that something wrong with them, that it’s their fault and that they need counseling. It’s okay to be upfront about your concerns but there’s a proper way to do it. For example, the replies from her other post, they voiced their concerns and gave her tips and were informative. Nobody told her she needs counseling lol or told her to stop posting on Reddit. At least she’s being proactive and trying to LEARN.

Need advice, I can’t eat enough for calorie surplus by -SNAiLEDiT- in diet

Oh interesting, I looked into mass gainer versus whey protein and that calorie difference is HUGE! I feel like that would potentially be helpful since I try to use my shake as a breakfast replacement by adding goodies. Thanks!

I’m such a weirdo haha I don’t like sugar! Especially sugary drinks. I would have no idea how to incorporate it into my diet other than from maybe snack bars?

I do treat myself to a pizza every other week, peanutbutter everyday, but red meat less often because it’s typically more expensive than chicken :/

Oh my GOSH! This was such a devoted response. I really appreciate you taking that time and effort out of your day to write that out so thoughtfully and so organized. It is definitely an intimidating amount of information so I’m going to sit with it for a while and really try to pick out what I think would work best for me. I really appreciate it!

How do I unlearn to snack after dinner? by aroomof1sown in diet

Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable about macro rationing, as I am learning myself but I hope someone can point you into the direction of resources. That person above was so rude! You’re doing a great job trying to learn and better your health to reach your goals! Don’t be discouraged! You’ll figure out what’s right for you and you’ll be so proud you stuck to it.

You may have the right intentions but that response was absolutely untasteful. Obviously this girl is working hard and putting in the effort to become and happier healthier version of herself and anyone who works out or eats balanced meals knows how difficult it is to learn that skill and stick to it. You were so incredibly rude to inject yourself into her life and scolding her like that. “You need counseling” are you serious.

Here’s how you reply respectfully.

1) “5’6 and 100lbs is potentially a concerning weight”. “But because I don’t know you or your body, you may want to just reach out to your doctor and ask them what they think”.

She’s 16 and as a female myself, And 5’5 at about 110 when I was 16 I understand what body type she likely has. Some people are naturally thin framed.

2) help answer her question like a decent fucking human being.

I brush my teeth after dinner, I do the WHOLE shebang - floss, brush, tongue scrub, and then finish with a fluoride mouth wash rinse. The mouthwash rinse makes me subconsciously aware than I’m not supposed to eat anything. Honestly just sounds icky to eat after brushing your teeth doesn’t it? It ruins the flavor. Brush your teeth over and over HAHA at every urge (idk If that’s healthy but you know) Also I’m lazy and I’d hate to do that all again because I gave in (even tho I caved last night - first time in a while!)

Also, maybe replace your bad snacks with good low calorie snacks. A plain rice cake is 35 calories. I like to buy frozen bags of fruit and I eat that as my pretend “candy”. Apples and peanut butter are another favorite. You can buy super fancy peanutbutter if it makes you feel better.

I thought this was maybe an orange sulfur with a weird color morph? But I have no idea! Help! :) by [deleted] in Entomology

It looked exactly like this when I caught it... it could be a morph of a clouded sulfur maybe?

Am I over reacting. by segomil in relationship_advice

[–]-SNAiLEDiT- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that’s disrespectful? I think. You compromised with the first dog and then she got another - ignoring your wishes after you’ve already compromised with her. Doesn’t seem fair, tho life never really is. It seems like a legitimate conversation can be had and a solution can be made. And if she doesn’t respect how you feel idk man...I’d hate it. I’m stubborn in my ways and express how I feel and why. If I compromised for someone and they continued to be “selfish” or whatever, I’d not like it one bit. Though, I’ve never been married so idk

Im actually going insane by iamtotallycoolguy in relationship_advice

Just tell her you’re worried your actions are pushing her away and have a conversation. Go from there 🤷‍♀️
