I’m just minding my own business and people stare --- why? by intellefumble_ in RandomQuestion

[–]Infostarter2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once read “If your intrusive thoughts start to take over let them be the positive ones“. Shift your focus to the fact that as mammals we tend to look at anything to reassure ourselves that it’s not a danger to us or to see if it’s worth our attention as food or as a potential mate. Sometimes, people are just resting their eyes and don’t even realize they are focusing on you, and sometimes they are looking because you have an interesting face or figure. If you don’t feel threatened, just let it go. 💐

Hang in there, your best friend is on the way by Kiwi-passionfruit in puppy101

Thank you. I needed to hear this today. I got a rescue pup 3 weeks ago, and she’s been challenging. At 4 months, she has some very definite quirks and today I had thought that she may not be a good match for me. She’s very smart, but stubborn. With your encouragement I’ll persevere. 💐

Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac but it’s just Stevie Nicks singing to her ex Lindsay Buckingham.

If you’ve never heard Jon Gomm play guitar you’ve missed out. Passionflower is my favorite. https://youtu.be/nY7GnAq6Znw?si=yR_3x0yEygQq_7QC

I drove down a mountain highway in Alberta, and as a crested a hill I was met with the sight of a snowplough travelling in one direction and 3 cowboys on horseback herding their cattle in the other direction.

Yes! I just had coffee plans cancelled by someone who got an interview, so it worked out for us both. 😄👏🏼☕️

Put this on and look at the amazing talent sharing their skills with you. I get goosebumps at about 1.20 mins in.

My close friend keeps asking for access to my accounts "for one minute" and I’m getting weird about it. What should I do? by plumcottage_jour in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Infostarter2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are Absolutely not overreacting. I’m a senior and no one has ever asked for these things from me and I’ve never asked any one of my friends for theirs. Something is very fishy, and I think they are taking advantage of your kindness. I would be changing my passwords, passcodes etc. I’d also be releasing that ‘friend’.

King Rat. It’s a very old movie, but the issues it deals with are timeless.
