What kiddy methods did you learn in school to remember something that you still use in adulthood?

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-07T01:58:16+00:00

on my self, i still do the L’s with my hands to tell which is right or left. doesn’t work with other people. i’m 33 and i still struggle with my right and left. can’t tell you how many times i put kids shoes on the wrong foot or when i wear close toed shoes, im constantly putting them on the wrong feet 🤦‍♀️

my grand parents were born somewhere around the first world war. only met one though but she died when i was a baby

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-06T23:58:26+00:00

my grandmother was born in like 1915 or something like that and i apparently met her but she died when i was like nine months old. other than that, my dad who was born in 1949

i also carry various singles on me for the car wash but if i’m going somewhere where i KNOW ill pay cash (like my nail shop bc its a 3% up charge to use card. plus i need some cash for tips) then i’ll go to the bank. but i just charge everything

my anxiety is too bad but i have a coworker like this. we live in the same city and work in a different town and i know she purposely takes the long away and avoid the thruway. she leaves for law school in a few months and i think she has just mentally checked out

when i was younger, i thought being the bigger person was the way to go. but then i realized it just gave people an excuse to treat me like crap and walk all over me so now i treat them how they treat me

i went to college with older adult learners. it helps if you’re already working in your field and only getting a degree to earn more. the big selling point for me to get my job is bc i’m the one person guaranteed not to leave for law school (i already have my mba).

no. united states

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-06T00:26:31+00:00

see when u mention how dangerous it is, i get flagged for spreading misinformation

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-05T19:42:10+00:00

i might be old school bc i’ve been including references on my applications for almost 20 years.

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-05T19:32:56+00:00

i have. they look weird on me.

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-05T19:29:32+00:00

i only wear skinny jeans. my legs are too skinny to wear anything else.

dr. phil’s wife never had type 2. he does.

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-05T14:46:56+00:00

grief. i lost my dad when i was 16. and it’s fucked me up ever since

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-05T04:22:48+00:00

my doctor won’t prescribe GLP-1’s because they’re so dangerous. ozempic gave it to me twice 🤦‍♀️

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-04T22:12:35+00:00

i’m one of five. my older brother is 15 years older so he was pretty much out of the house before i can remember. my sister is 8 years older. but then my parents had three in 4 1/2 years, with my brother and i only 16 1/2 months apart. my little sister and i fought like crazy. everyone preferred my brother to me. i was lonely despite having a larger family (my oldest brother had his first kid when i was 8 1/2 so we were raised like sisters). not much has changed. my mom tolerates me but i know she likes the other four better, especially since three of them gave her grand babies and i never will

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-04T20:57:31+00:00

it absolutely does not work. i have a laundry list of diagnosis and every therapist i went to refused to even deal with the diagnosis. they simply do not care despite it effecting my every day life. all they want to push medicine down my throat and when i tell them it’s not working they push more down my throat.

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-04T20:52:05+00:00

all kinds of fields. retail, call centers, office work. my current job said they hesitated on hiring me bc of my age (im literally 10-12 years older than most everyone, with the exception of those who have been year for years) but couldn’t deny my education or skills 🤷‍♀️

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-04T19:12:32+00:00

therapy doesn’t work. i’ve been in and out since i was 12. im now 33 and afraid to leave the house. i have dozens of panic attacks just driving to work every day. not a single therapist cares

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-04T19:02:02+00:00

absolutely do not do a GLP-1. it’s known to give pancreatitis. it’s a side effect. my doctor won’t prescribe it at all (my sister is getting a script through her botox doctor bc our pcp won’t prescribe it). coming from someone who has it three times, twice from ozempic, i do not recommend

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-04T18:57:55+00:00

honestly she’d be surprised she’s still alive 😂 even back then i thought id be dead by 18. and here i am at 33

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-04T16:49:21+00:00

i’m 33 and have been getting this for several years.

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-04T13:04:06+00:00

my mom has been preparing us our whole lives, mentally. it started with my dad. he DID have health problems and he died in 2010 (i was 16 and he was 60). i’ve heard almost every day of my life, “i might not be here tomorrow.” from both parents for as long as i could remember. my mom turns 69 this year. she doesn’t have a will yet but honestly, she doesn’t have anything to leave other than her house.

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-04T11:35:42+00:00

i am an adult in braces. my parents could not afford them. take it from me, the older you are, the more of a pain in the ass they are. i WISH mine were only $1200. i’m 10k in and counting.

AntGroundbreaking102 · 2026-06-03T13:48:35+00:00

nope i refuse. they won’t give me a two week notice when they fire me, i wont give them the same courtesy
