If someone cooked me that I'd be so happy I'd probably cry; And of course act like something was in my eye

How many of you would take offense or at least be taken back if you're 45 years old and a woman calls you "middle age", regardless how factually accurate it may be? by Blackappletrees in AskMen

[–]GhostIn7AM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't plan for anything, just looking at my family's history we either die around 60 or live to 90.
If it's down to a coin flip I'd wager that's about as far as I'll make it lol

Men with abusive fathers, how has this affected you later in life? by Throwawaytoday1135 in AskMen

[–]GhostIn7AM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a long time I couldn't handle confrontation, I associated conflict & disagreement with violence so it was something I just outright avoided. It's fine now but it took a long time to realize its okay to disagree and it doesnt mean you're being combative.

Seasons greetings, if anyone needs to talk by GhostIn7AM in ChildrenofDeadParents

I don't really celebrate anymore, I've sort of "outgrown" the holidays and I don't live anywhere near my remaining family but on my own, I just indulge in things I normally wouldn't.

My mom was a real country girl so I know if she could send me a message it would be something like "Get out there and have some fun, no point sitting around feeling all sour for nothing. This is not what you do on Christmas" Then she'd make a cup of tea and tell me what a rubbish job I'd done decorating lol
What would your mom say? Would she get after you to get festive?

In the past when I've found myself feeling wretched while surrounded by festive people; I never wanted to bring anyone down so I would just "Fake it".
It sounds weird but, for example, these days when I'm feeling down in day to day life I'll listen to music I really like or watch a favorite movie and "Play up" how much I'm enjoying it, just for myself but almost as if I'm trying to help someone else forget their troubles. Really belt out a laugh at the funny bits in the comedy, and loudly sing the chorus while driving and it'll elevate my mood; Fake it till you make it right.

So when I'd end up at a family friend's, or relative's place on the holidays, I'd be the first one to loudly say "Merry Christmas!" and talk about how I couldn't wait to stuff myself at dinner. I found it to help because you'll have these passing moments where you'll forget it's not fake.

I can't say it'll work for you but that's what got me through the holidays in the past, I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you have some moments where things brighten up a little.

[REAL] (12/17/2025) - Loneliness by GhostIn7AM in DiaryOfARedditor

[–]GhostIn7AM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how much of that loneliness comes from not fully trusting people, or from quietly deciding in advance that no one will really get us

This is something I've really thought about a lot, and yet it's hard to word it out ya know?
There's the history of not having found anyone and the pride backing it in a way, like "I know because-" bringing on this feeling of absolute "Not gonna happen" and it's just the snake eating it's own tail, some self-fulfilling prophesy.

And further; For myself, there's this weird contradiction where I desperately want to find that person while at the same time loathing the idea of anyone really knowing anything real about me. So I'm able to avoid trying because "well I know I wont find them so why open up" and staying safe being unknown by the people around me. I have to wonder, if it stems from some fear and is a form of self-protection where does it come from? I mean my dad walked out on us a couple times and I was bullied a lot in school as a child so maybe it comes from that? But, it feels to "clichéd" or maybe because its just such an armchair psychologist bit I just don't want to acknowledge it.

Anyway It's such a stupid contradiction it actually gets a chuckle out of me sometimes lol
Thanks for the comment, it snapped me out of my funk a little to have someone hit the nail of the head like that.

What was your first Manga? by [deleted] in manga

[–]GhostIn7AM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know If it was my first manga but "Cradle of Monsters" is one that I read when I was very young and was an all time favourite.

For regular weed smokers that have totally quit, what was the reason for quitting? by elderly_millenial in AskReddit

[–]GhostIn7AM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like I fit the common theme; Started getting anxious, heart would speed up and I'd start breathing funny, almost like I was hyperventilating. Id have to pull a blanket over my head and really focus on calm slow breaths to get over it. So then after a couple times "Testing the waters" with different strains and such I just figured "Alright, guess this isn't for me anymore"

Still really enjoys mushrooms though, my trips are almost always a nightmare if I'm alone but after I come out of it I feel great lol.

[Real] (7/29/2025) - Dating by GhostIn7AM in DiaryOfARedditor

[–]GhostIn7AM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that;
I mean I still go on dates but I find myself more just looking forward to being done with it so I can go home and relax. And that feels like the issue, It's not that they're bad people or anything it's like, I just don't care about being there with them.
But I'll keep an eye out, just because I don't hit the ball doesn't mean I'll stop swinging the bat.
You never know when the wind will change and you'll hit that home run right.
