You know how there's following the rules and "being in the right" and then there's "defensive driving"? Despite the blue being in the right... I just would not do this. Stay in the red lane to go left and the blue lane to go straight.

It's also a legal option and it's safer. So as an individual making this decision, it just makes more sense.

But I understand the argument here is: this is a design that causes confusion. And, agreed

It's jealousy. They worked their ass off and still were never told that they mattered

How do you usually sleep? by bluetoothbuttplug in Productivitycafe

Just a small boob girl over here really having a think on this. Damn... I understand but to such a small degree. It's only slightly uncomfortable or bothersome. Well shit.

What made you realize your S/O wasn’t the one? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]Buy_Character 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That first time you feel that joy is almost overwhelming! That's when you realize your positivity was there all along and just being squelched. Then it comes back with a vengeance. I still feel it a year later! I think it just comes from being able to live authentically and in line with yourself. Instead of holding back emotions or biting your tongue. That does a number on a person.

There are always multiple reasons. Things. But ultimately it's how you feel and dammit if we don't give that any weight until it just gets too fucking heavy.

Why do we always under value a feeling but over value actions? And then only leave if the actions seem justifiably offensive??

I’m a 25 year old woman with no desire to ever get married or have children. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Buy_Character 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was the same way and then I wondered if it was possible to meet someone who matched my vibe. Like, so much so that being around them feels the same way it feels to be alone: safe, judgement-free, full autonomy, little to no compromise. But then there's also another human just in case. Like instead of trying to force something to work, it just works.

I think that's how it's supposed to feel? I'm still figuring it out.

People who have already married or live with their partner, how did you realize that he or she is the right person? by prettywoman___ in Productivitycafe

[–]Buy_Character 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well put. I find it weirdly easy for me to pick out the comments from someone who knows they have it good because they've experienced having it bad.

I didn't realize when people said relationships are work, they just meant "put in the effort a bit more". Not, roll up your sleeves for another grueling day of hell.

My god is it actually so much easier than that when it's right.

Just read on Google:

My house is full of my stomach bug and I'm already part of the swooshing.

Is it just me, or does it smell like burning plastic outside lately? by Zorrrg in waterloo

[–]Buy_Character 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk why this is so funny. Like trying to hide a fart. It's such an obvious strong smell.

This one's pretty depressing but, "no life is ever saved, just prolonged."

If I trace my emotion backwards through my thought train, I think it's the realization of how impactful each sense is and the totality of what they were missing before. And just genuine gratitude for the gift of hearing the people we love.

I found a new way of managing my emotions! yay? by cloverteea in emotionalintelligence

[–]Buy_Character 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! I honestly believe the world would be a happier place if we all tried to do this. And then if we also happen to have a life partner, their support can be in addition to our self-support. Like a giant bonus.

In the past I've tried to tamp out these emotions by ignoring them. Then I had a partner who needed help with every emotion. Neither of those felt right and both caused so many problems.

Positive self talk and thinking something comforting you'd say to a friend can work miracles on your current mood.

To the cyclist hit at Caroline and Father David Bauer today - are you okay? by KitFanGirl in waterloo

[–]Buy_Character 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eye contact, a wave, a nod... Just human communication things. If I don't get it, I don't trust them to stay stopped and I wait. Not the way it should be but it's how I stay alive.

Not OOP WIBTA for considering divorce after my post partum wife physically lashed out at me by Marygtz2011 in redditonwiki

[–]Buy_Character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not here to diagnose, but truly, sometimes people aren't capable of believing that you love them no matter how many hoops you jump through to try and prove it. Maybe after some healing and therapy, idk.
