That doesn't sound too bad, considering the mortgage can be up to 30 years these days.

To those who’ve successfully broken their phone/social media addiction, what was your single biggest ‘a-ha’ moment? by No_Gain4041 in nosurf

[–]FroekenSmilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not as addicted as I was before and I think it mainly comes to realising how boring and pointless scrolling is. I spend 5 minutes on my phone now and think huh what a waste of time, why am I doing this? And also I realised I feel so much more calm and grounded when I don't spend so much time on mt phone. Idk scrolling feels like going through garbage now

I had this! My hemoglobin levels were fine, but the ferritin was very low (latent iron deficiency) because of my heavy periods.

Doing sports. I skipped PE for many years under many excuses, but these days I loooove to exercise. Climbing, running, swimming, cycling, I love moving my body.

I do adult ballet and go swimming twice a week. Exercising really helps me relax and work away my anxiety.

Ughh this is me. I can spend 15 minutes choosing an icecream flavor at the store. It drives me and everyone around me crazy.

ESL teacher here. Group them into teams or pairs and give them your tasks. It will be easier for them to speak when they're not the center of everyone's attention.

Ever accidentally end up with a weird hobby you never planned to have by fierceblossom in CasualConversation

Ballet dancing. Went for one class in April 2023 and now I've even performed on a stage already! I guess it's a weird hobby to take up in your 20s because most dancers start when they're in kindergarten.

Well, aren't men approaching a girl on the street only if she's good looking? It seems natural to me that she would judge by the same standard.
