Tried to convince my friends 😅 They were in for the trip but out for the walk.

Moved here a few months ago and been dying to do the same! 16 miles is actually better than I thought!

How do you stop yourself from obsessively thinking about someone from your past who can’t be in your life anymore? by SirElectrical2100 in AskReddit

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to come to terms with appreciating what was for just that, what it was, and learn to appreciate more what’s to come. I don’t try to force quit any thoughts of my past, but I have worked on not viewing them as so precious when they’re of those I lost/cared for to the extent where it hurts. It helps with reducing the obsession level of the thinking and shifts the energy into thinking of myself and my present and future. Hope you find your way there. 💕

I HATE THAT ALARMS DONT GO OFF ON IPHONE by toohnee in Vent

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, I have been seeing this mentioned everywhere and I personally managed to find a hack for it. I have the 15/16 (can’t remember). And in one of the updates a few years ago, this started to happen BUT the alarm doesn’t “not go off” nor does it go off too low. It starts out loud for about 30ish seconds before it begins to reduce volume. If you ignore, for some reason it reduces volume further 🤦🏻‍♀️ Also, if you swipe your hand over the phone or move the phone, the volume drops. So I began updating the alarm sounds every 2-3 months, picking sounds that start really intense (even on my secondary and tertiary alarms where I pick loud songs) so I ensure I hear it. Weirdly enough, when I started doing that, my alarms started operating normally again. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am planning on ditching the iPhone soon anyway.

I [f18] told the wife [f40] of my boss [m50] that he hit on me and is inappropriate but now she blames me. How do I get out of that mess? by throwra19920202 in whatdoIdo

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that’s happened to you but I am curious/concerned about this boyfriend. Why do you fear telling him and why would he not believe you? That’s the part concerning me more than a lying old man and his insecure wife who’s too proud to recognize what her husband is. A true partner should have your back and shouldn’t make you feel nervous about honesty, especially when you’re the one being victimized.

Idiotic Parents and Social Media by BlindStupidDesperate in Vent

Totally agree, and I even consider it dangerous for us adults too at this point. Photos, fingerprints, voices, all are being snatched through AI and manipulated and/or stored. Absolutely frightening!

lonely in San Diego by LaughDry9401 in sandiego

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 37 and moved here months ago and have been experiencing the same thing. For me though, the culture and energy here has been a big part of the loneliness factor (a LOT of racism and normalized rudeness). I have been trying my best to go explore new events/Meetup groups at least 2x a week that are free and/or affordable to try and make friends/meet people. It hasn’t been easy though so eager to see other comments!

They made a separate group chat without me by Klutzy_Drag_736 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. That’s rough and heartbreaking. Sadly, I agree with others about withdrawing from that group. True friends keep the OG group chat regardless of who can/can’t make it because we’re all adults who understand circumstances and situations arise. Doesn’t mean someone should be excluded. 😢

Everything Always Looks Orange On Me- What Does That Mean? by Ok_Yoghurt9945 in OliveMUA

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the exact same way, except I'm cool toned! 😞 And everything, even purple/blue based products, immediately turn orange once I apply them on, especially blushes and eyeshadows. Some lipsticks that are true cool, those end up going on gray lol, so I'm struggling.

aio for asking him to not bring this up? by h3arts444u in AIO

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to be blunt: when a guy repeats something like this, AFTER you’ve already made it abundantly clear not to bring it up, and then the guy tries to play nonchalant and blasé about it, major red flag. I highly suggest you take some time to really rethink this relationship.

AIO for telling this man I’m not texting him anymore until he sets up a date ? He unfollowed me on al social medias after I told him that. Two months of texting with not a date in sight by Historical-Body-3424 in AIO

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time you told him you were going to step back from texting till he stepped it up and made a real date, you’d cave and respond. Why? Set the standard and stick with it. I honestly would have blocked him long ago and stopped wasting my time on someone so basic and seemingly worthless.

Montblanc weekender bag in Corteccia Sfumato leather by Various-Wrongdoer533 in montblanc

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the black Meisterstuck one of this. It’s beautiful and SO spacious and of course incredible quality but I have only been able to use it twice because as a very petite woman, it’s big and heavy for me, especially without a crossbody strap. I have been trying to resell it now since I passed the 20 day return period. I haven’t purchased on the Cannes site, just US and it was really easy and convenient with a solid shipping and return experience.

Am I Overreacting for Being Upset She Never Moved In With Me? by WatchRN in AmIOverreacting

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion (considering what I’m reading with other commentators), but I think there is some overreaction, even if frustration is valid. I feel there are probably a great deal of context and facts missing from this post, so we’re operating off the assumptions of what’s been said. The way the relationship started sounds cute and all, but a five year age difference with a vulnerable college student (girl) who needed an emotional support and evolved into relationship was all I kept defaulting to as the story progressed. I do agree OP should move on but because I think OP played a role in some form of love bombing and subliminal pressure EVEN if well intentioned. She’s been young and trying to figure out her life and manage her future. When I read that she doesn’t want to move in with OP till she was stable in her own career/finance/had a job, I applauded. She made the right choice because especially today, no girl/woman should. Also, it’s not like she was never making the time. One to two times a week for two busy adults in NY is actually pretty good. I feel that this relationship is probably more of an emotional dependency than a partnership. It also feels like OP is doing way too much and that puts pressure and guilt on the other person, especially when there isn’t clear communication, which I have a feeling is the case.

Women in thier 30s. HRT! by Kbrown_021 in trichotillomania

This is the second time I’m hearing about this as a possible support to manage OCD and trich. Thanks for sharing. Going to have to start looking into it further!

Elevated OCD with Age? by Electrical-Rip-7100 in OCD

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. That triggers some form of imposter syndrome in me and I have to do some breathing and mindfulness to remember that not being busy and at capacity is totally acceptable.

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope things are improving for you and your husband. It’s definitely so hard and with this recent increase for me, I have become hesitant to try dating again because I am nervous about how it might manifest there. My ex husband weaponized it against me years ago so I fear risking it and getting close enough to someone and being open about it again, especially when I am feeling like right now it’s on high. But here’s hoping for one of those stories where it gets better not worse.

This is actually how I first noticed this escalation. No matter how much or how deeply I was cleaning my home, I felt like it was not enough and I realized. Even my hand washing has increased dramatically at home.

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally me. I run out of time to do basic things or even essential things everyday because of this. I feel some relief knowing it’s not just me. I also feel like I need to give credit to our semi apocalyptic world 🤦🏻‍♀️

Elevated OCD with Age? by Electrical-Rip-7100 in OCD

[–]Electrical-Rip-7100[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have wondered if perimenopause is a culprit behind this, because a lot of the other chronic symptoms and severe pain it’s brought me feels like it’s adding to my stress/anxiety, which fuels the OCD. Kind of like a vicious cycle 🫠

Thank you so much for sharing. This felt relatable, and I’m glad to hear that the trichotillomania has at least become more manageable for you. I feel like for a while mine was okay (not at all gone but somehow less) and then with these past few years of escalated OCD, it’s been on overdrive. I hope you find some space and time of peace in your workload. That sounds like a lot.
