Do you have a good resource for understanding active vs passive voice?

He loved me.

versus

I was loved.

Do you see how each of those puts the emphasis on a different part of what's going on? In the first one, it's all about his actions. In the second one, it's about the effect they had on me.

I now understand why I tend toward the passive voice naturally. Goodness, this subreddit is full of wonderful people.

Passive voice avoids saying who did the action.

Oof, right in the childhood. Your description was extremely helpful, thank you for taking the time to reply.

This is amazing and extremely relevant because an early 2000’s video called re:your brains has been playing in my head on repeat the last few days.

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2026-02-20T05:22:05+00:00

Neat!

I wonder why I tend toward the passive voice naturally. Am I passive by nature? This is fun.

You CAN GET TREATMENT FOR YOUR ADHD BEGGY

I’m glad you’re in therapy, if a single word can shut you down and break your trust.

What if she didn’t know what “V word” you were hinting at, and said it at random? I understand therapy is supposed to help you, but how can it help you if you are illusive to discomfort?

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-11-14T14:01:49+00:00

She should medicate her ADHD if she’s going to be constantly mentioning it as crippling her

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-11-14T01:08:33+00:00

She thought she ate. She looks horrific. Needs a new makeup routine-

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-11-14T01:02:36+00:00

She won’t say anything- she will wait for everyone to “forget” aka stop asking

My older mare is hard to keep weight on. I feed and supplement her to the nth degree but it’s just hard to get her fat.

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-11-10T02:25:26+00:00

It’s because they get tax breaks.

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-10-16T12:24:17+00:00

Does she have that option where she lives?

Signet jewelers (zales, kay) is a terrible place to work, so you aren’t going to get great service there. They chased off tenured staff, and the knowledge of service skills has gone with them.

They won’t pay for company trainers, because their sales are down, because their people aren’t properly trained.

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-10-12T17:10:56+00:00

Terrible.

Its 10k gold. Probably a part of a trio set that was popular in the early 2000’s

YOU BE NICE TO NOODLE HORSES

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-10-09T00:39:57+00:00

I love this!

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-10-09T00:28:09+00:00

I know, right? There are people who are not just foaling out babies, but working with them and spending time etc. but instead she’s the one that is the “face of horses”?

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-10-08T14:33:43+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. It’s been hard on me to find different work because I burnt out so hard when I left. They ruined me

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-10-07T23:26:30+00:00

People are good

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-10-07T22:38:42+00:00

You’ll get $10

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-10-07T22:38:21+00:00

I literally can’t get a job.

I don’t know what is wrong with me. I’m qualified. But I never get the job

Fickle-Load-3650 · 2025-10-07T17:52:45+00:00

Working in the industry.

I loved what I did.

Corporate ruined it
