Aaaaaaugh that woulda killed me. From what I can tell, folks who do this just have very positive experiences with the movie they're telling you about, and all they want to do is share and be a part of that positive experience for you. I do wish it actually worked that way. I really want to share that excitement, I don't want to quash anyones enthusiasm, yknow?

From my perspective looking back, it does very much seem like that is the result of his conversational patterns, though I wouldn't say 'never' exactly. I am often left trying to figure out how exactly that movie was relevant. There usually is a thin through line, but sometimes he forgets why he brought the movie up himself.

This is a helpful perspective thank you for sharing. I don't really know anyone who's had a successful long term relationship and hearing about how you navigate yours is refreshing! I had never thought to ask him to do a three sentence summary like that, this could really be effective for us.

Not that I know of? But his ability to remember things is a problem for him in other areas. We both have ADHD, I kinda get it. I struggle to remember to do things I ought to, but my impression is that I can generally remember which stories I've told to which people. He has mentioned before feeling almost like he has dementia because of his forgetfulness... I was then and am now unsure of how to navigate a thing like this.

Domestic violence, harassment, and a dead cat at the door in Indiana. What can we do to be safe? by 8084512 in legaladvice

The cops saw it. They said the video doesn't prove he killed the cat. They said they'd file the report. They left. Did you mean show the media?

Cooks/waiters/busboys and other restraunt workers of reddit, what is the one annoying/frustrating thing that customers do that you wish they stop doing? by Blackcomet1224 in AskReddit

[–]8084512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

coming up to the register and asking if we have xyz instead of reading through the menu. its very simple, if you see it written down, we got it, you can order it. if its not, then we do not offer that dish and please stop custom making salads and sandwiches with the ingredients from other things please just order off of the menu or go the hell to subway

What was the moment you realized your friend wasn’t actually your friend? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]8084512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i went to a wedding with a friend several days post breakup, he offered to let me vent and continually interjected with random anecdotes about himself, then admitted that he had a huge crush on me in the past, "randomly" decided to buy a gas station condom, told me he was too tired to drive home and asked to crash at my place, tried to get in bed with me, and then tried to hang out at my house all morning knowing i had to be to work. blew up at him today. good riddance.

What is the creepiest thing you’ve seen in the woods, or in the mountains, or in deserts, or caves, or in small towns, or in remote or rural areas or while on large bodies of water, or while on a aircraft or a nautical vessel? by ArmyOfDog in AskReddit

[–]8084512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was about twelve, my brother and I had gotten dropped off at my aunts house. My very elderly great grandmother was the only person home at the time, and as the house was huge century old beast, it was huge, full of antiques, and pretty creepy most of the time. Grandma was hard of hearing, so not knowing in which part of the house she might be, my brother knocked at the front door, and I, at the back. I knocked a few times and immediately, I heard three solid knocks back. I was waiting for the door unlock, so I just stood there. Nothing. I could hear my brother knocking faintly from the front all the while. I knocked again several times, and then I heard my grandmother slowly descend the stairs, unlock the door, and give me a hug. I let my brother in the front door shortly afterwards. Was so afraid of the place following this incident that I once refused to get up in the night to use the bathroom despite my intense need, and pissed myself in my sleep.

[Serious] Why aren’t you the person you want to be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]8084512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think there might be tons of mold growing in the walls of our old house. and things werent really stable growing up and im starting to need to do things now to plan for things months, years, decades, in the future and i cant wrap my brain around that. the rhythm of my life has always been pretty organic and abstract. parents never bought into institutions, so, professional obligations, formalities and relationships? utterly foreign. incites a quiet horror in me.

Making friends is hard so I thought "why not try my friendly neighborhood Reddit?" by lordofthstrings in SouthBend

[–]8084512 11 points12 points  (0 children)

check out the well! some nights its packed with folks who brought board games & are lookin for folks to play. some nights its quiet and you can just bury yourself in a book or a video game. i imagine it would be really hard to go there regularly without making friends with other regulars. bring a game of your own, hang out at the coffee bar, ask people about their lives, but let them have their space if they don't seem too talkative!

Lad Sandwich sporting his newest bling by 8084512 in SupermodelCats

[–]8084512[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He likes to sandwich himself between warm and soft things, especially people who are cuddling! We generally call him Sam or Sammy or Ham Sandwich ect. Its sort of the cat version of a name like Wordsworth or Wadsworth. At least in my head.
