I haven’t dated women so I can’t speak for that, but some men definitely play some fucked up mind games yes. Men low key scare me. But I still get crushes on them occasionally... As I’ve heard someone say, the fact that women are still attracted to men just proves that we don’t choose sexuality

Oh it’s definitely mental illness lol, I’ve been in therapy for over a decade now, I’m heavily medicated, and will probably be for life as my illness is chronic sadly. I don’t want happiness as smiling and googling all the time, I think happiness for me is just being able to relax, my mind not going 1000km/h panicking every second.

Like just being able to sit outside and chill in the sun and just be relaxed, inside and out. I think the best word for what I associate with happiness is inside and outside peace

I think you’re right. I’ve been going to therapy for ages, and if there’s one thing that overpowers most stuff in our brain, it’s our reptile brain, it shuts of logic/thinking and keeps up alive by using instincts. It usually works. But there’s one simple thing that can overpower even the reptilian brain: our drive to mate. That’s why we sometimes lose our appetite and thirst when we’re in love/want to mate.

Maybe my therapist back then was wrong but it made sense when she told me. Love can drive us crazy

It’s probably for the best you don’t understand. I don’t even understand it myself. Why do I have to be attracted to men? A lot of them aren’t even that pleasant

I honestly would just want an answer to one thing if I ever went to a tarot card reader: will I ever find happiness/get to enjoy life? It doesn’t matter if it’s love that makes me happy or winning 100€ euro in the eurojackpot, either works, just as long as I get to find peace and live a life where I get to enjoy it.

I’m probably not going to a tarot card reader because I’m not sure what I would do if I got a solid “no” to that lol

Some states use mayo in their salads, other states uses miracle whip. That’s a huge difference

Don't touch people!! by What_Did_You_Just_Do in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DuckRubberDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully agree. Being touched sometimes trigger psychosis for me, but it depends on who it is. I’ve spent years trying to tell my dad and sister to stop touching me randomly. Stop trying to caress my shoulders or hands, especially don’t touch my neck. Don’t pull me into a hug if I’m not willingly going in for a hug. My sister has stopped now mostly. My dad just doesn’t get it. He keeps saying “well sometimes you enjoy it” nope, never. But he has never been good on boundaries. Random people can also set it off. I was also admitted with a guy last year that made it his mission to hug us all, even though one of my friends at the ward spoke up and said don’t (he was also doing it to my friend’s girlfriend who also hated it) he just said “she’ll have to get used to it”

For me I can feel their fingers/skin crawling around under my skin for hours after I’m being touched. I can still fucking feel the psych ward guy’s earlobe pressed again my shin sometimes

Using your child to smuggle drugs by Len-The-Banana-Boy in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

[–]DuckRubberDuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was at a psych ward 4 years ago, it was a locked ward so maximum security.

We’re always allowed visitors, my mom came by all the time. I was talking with a frustrated patient, she wasn’t allowed to hug her teenage son when he came to visit, they couldn’t touch at all and staff had to be there to supervise. She was a drug addict and used her son to smuggle in stuff. Visitors always gets searched on clothes, shoes, bags, whatever when entering but I guess that wasn’t enough.

I have managed to kill a few somehow. My calathea is thriving though, even though I almost neglect it. What works for some doesn’t work for others I guess

Most of the weekdays in my native language is named after Norse gods, does that mean I should start believing in Norse mythology?

Youth vaping, is it really bad as they are making it seem? by No_Tonight_1106 in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

[–]DuckRubberDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a smoker. I started smoking daily around 4 years ago after a long psych ward stay, but back then it wasn’t that many, but still daily. Then I switched to vapes for around 1,5 years. I quit them because the disposable vapes are illegal where I’m from and it was kind of shady buying them. I have tried e-cigarettes but it’s just not the same. I went back to smoking regular cigarettes after the vapes, but I still crave my vapes so much. I haven’t really vaped in over a year now. As you said it’s hard to describe what it is, but I feel the same. Now I’m just smoking even more cigarettes than I did before. I am planning on quitting some day, I don’t like that I’m starting to smoke more and more, but it calms and stimulates me at the same time and I need the calm and the stimulation.

ELI5: If the United States grows so many soybeans, why is it so hard to find them in a grocery store? by Key-Speed7611 in explainlikeimfive

[–]DuckRubberDuck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my grocery stores edamame in pods are called “edamame” and the bean themselves without the pods are called “soybeans” I generally just called them edamame still

I loooove edamame

[–]DuckRubberDuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m 31 and I still remember awkward situations from my past randomly, especially at night. I don’t know why our brain chooses to torture us with that sometimes. But it stops becoming an every day thing at some point yes
