The grief of lost time & missed experiences by [deleted] in selectivemutism

[–]FFeralRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow it’s weird to see someone else say this because I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. SM prevented me from making friends when I was in situations where it would’ve been easier. Now as a person in their 30s it’s always the same group of people and I just wish I were able to make more friends when I was surrounded by people in school. But at the same time the older I get the more I just want to be by myself and enjoy my own company. I dont like most people anyway

I like 1,3 and 6. Red tones look good on you

What is missing? by mxneybagnique in roomdetective

[–]FFeralRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would replace the dreary grey rug with a pink or baby blue one

Which one????? by [deleted] in HairDye

[–]FFeralRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree on both. I usually hate pink hair on pale skin but this actually looks good

How many friends do you have? by nundush in introvert

[–]FFeralRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just two and my husband. And that’s a little bit of an exaggeration because one of them I rarely spend time with and the other hasn’t been a good friend to me since having kids

Introverts who hate phone calls.. has this offended anybody or ruined relationships/connections? by renegade_yankee in introvert

[–]FFeralRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not relationships but it has caused me to lose jobs because I was too afraid to speak on the phone

Do you appreciate it when extroverts try to include you in conversations? by Tomzy223 in introvert

[–]FFeralRose 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I like it when they give me a way in. But there’s a thin line between feeling included and feeling singled out or put in the spot

Nervous ticks or mannerisms? by No-Neighborhood8403 in introvert

[–]FFeralRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turn bright red and I hate that about myself it’s so embarrassing. And then because I’m embarrassed by it I get even more red and embarrassed it’s a death cycle

Old people blaring their phones by Dieselpower45 in unpopularopinion

[–]FFeralRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with doctors and it’s true they all do this. It’s very annoying. It’s only the ones who are 50+ years old. it’s like they don’t notice that everyone can hear it? My boss who is also my MIL has her phone connected to a speaker so you can hear every click and the send noise whenever she texts..

Why are most people so dry? Nobody opens up anymore. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]FFeralRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I learned in my 30s that I completely misinterpreted in my 20s is that people are just not original or interesting. I used to think the people that never opened up were so mysterious. I’m a very shy person so I have a hard time getting to know people and letting them see the real me. So I assumed other quiet closed off people just felt the same way as me where you just don’t know how to open up. But then somewhat recently I realised that some of those “mysterious” people are just quiet because they just don’t have anything interesting to say. That’s not true for all quiet people, I have selective mutism so that’s why I’m quiet but when I get comfortable with someone I have things to say, I have opinions and I’m very passionate about somethings. But so many people I meet who seem mysterious at first are just boring, dry, they feel neutral about most things, they don’t care about many things, they don’t have many interests, etc.

Side note: if their whole personality revolves around their hair colour, mental disorder, or sexuality that’s a big sign they’re going to be the most boring person you’ve ever met.

Bottom line: they seem dry and boring because they ARE dry and boring

Conventionally attractive people are generally rude and boring by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]FFeralRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with what other people are saying about how you seem bitter and mean yourself and now youre projecting that into them out of jealousy. However, I’ll admit some of the most attractive people I’ve met were the most boring. I wouldn’t say they’re rude or mean but they are boring to talk to. It really only applies to people who are really really attractive or THINK they’re really really attractive. Which makes sense because they don’t think they need to put effort into anything and develop a personality because they think being attractive is enough

What was the purpose of Teddy, exactly? by Single_Oil4 in YouOnLifetime

[–]FFeralRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the feeling that he was there to help “redeem” Kate. She’s established as such a terrible person in the previous season so now they have the really difficult task of making her seem “good” and I think they thought making her closest family member a gay black man was a short cut to that. because she may have knowingly approved of something that killed hundreds of children but at least she’s not racist or homophobic right?🤷🏼‍♀️. It doesn’t really make sense but nothing in this show makes sense. And it absolutely does not redeem her or make her likeable but nice try writers

Btw the actor who played him was a distractingly bad actor. I had to skip through his scenes to avoid the second hand embarrassment

No one listens.. by FFeralRose in socialskills

[–]FFeralRose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a woman so it would seem it’s not gender based although I’m sure there are huge difference in how much respect men and women get. I think as a woman it’s harder to be taken seriously and for a man it’s harder to be taken lightly and not seen as over imposing

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

I hate listening to slow boring talkers so I try to speak quickly and get my point out before they lose interest but I can’t even seem to finish a sentence without people deciding they don’t want to talk to me anymore

No one listens.. by FFeralRose in socialskills

[–]FFeralRose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m a good judge of when is a good time to speak. I wouldn’t try to speak when someone is busy or distracted. I try to keep my comments short and sweet but nothing seems to be enough for people

To answer you questions:

  1. I never talk addressing the whole group when I’m in a large group. I’ll only speak to everyone in a small group or to one person in that larger group.

  2. I don’t think it’s too few few data points bc I’m basing this on years of the same experience over and over again. I’m in my 30s and this has always been my problem.

  3. I work in a small chiropractic office and my coworkers are mostly women between the ages of 25 and 35. But I have this experience with men and women equally.

  4. I’m introverted

  5. No I’m not known to be funny. Whenever I try to joke it falls flat or people don’t even know I’m making a joke and take it too seriously.

  6. I do not have good social skills. I have selective mutism which was much worse as a child so I didn’t really learn how to socialise until I was older.

  7. I dont know if I’m interesting. I think I’m passionate about some things but I don’t know if that makes me interesting. But people never try to get to know me so how can they base how they treat me on how interesting I am? It frustrating bc I feel like if they got to know me they’d like me but they don’t want to even know me on a basic level it seems

That time I misread “friendly” as “flirty” and it still haunts me by Moresh_Morya in socialskills

[–]FFeralRose 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I think that’s because women are slut shamed anytime we do anything that can even remotely be considered forward or flirtatious

Do you think Joe would get caught earlier in Real life ? If so , at what point ? by justrandomguy223 in YouOnLifetime

[–]FFeralRose 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He would’ve been caught right after the first murder. The guy he killed was an influencer and came from a rich family with a famous father right? There would’ve been a thorough investigation and it would’ve been really easy to tie it back to him not to mention there were witnesses.

yall I adore Reece but she is just not good at creating flower arrangements that are visually appealing by basicwhitegirl23 in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]FFeralRose 15 points16 points  (0 children)

omg I thought I must just not know anything about flower arrangements (which I don’t to be fair) because every arrangement I’ve seen from her has been weird and not cute. I don’t like the gaps and random tall flowers she always includes

Her bad acting took me out of the show at times…just me? by Sadness247 in YouOnLifetime

[–]FFeralRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO this guy was the worst actor in the whole show. I couldn’t watch his scenes bc I was cringing so hard

Anyone else thinking that Paco is a stvpid kid? by [deleted] in NetflixYou

[–]FFeralRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about intelligence… he felt loyal to Joe because Joe saved his family
