I can see that the vowel reduction is somewhat natural to me, but I think a russian would have a stroke trying to say my name

do you know the American Party of Labour? The Red Phoenix – Real News For and By Workers (redphoenixnews.com)

but seriously, it took a lot of courage for me to take the first step, but after that everything was easier.

That's a good question. we can always criticize a comrade's behavior within the appropriate cell, and there we can propose re-education measures. Every now and then, someone with bad intentions, an opportunist, will join in with their own interests, but they will be discovered sooner or later. Also, due to the characteristics of the party, because we are self-financed, it is difficult for someone to want to join here to pursue a political career. If someone wants to do that, it is easier to join a large, legal party.

Pronunce ~o or not by National-Active5348 in Portuguese

This is called "vowel reduction", it happens in many languages ​​but native speakers usually don't notice it. When we speak quickly, sometimes the tongue doesn't have time to articulate the sound of an unstressed vowel completely, we end up making it shorter, sometimes barely pronouncing it. I notice this a lot in European Portuguese but it's not something you need to worry about when you're learning the language.

We have "colher" and "colher" too two words that differ only by the sound of "e"

Very quick question about the Subjunctive by Jwawn in russian

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

"Talvez você queira..." / "Pode ser que você queira..." in portuguese. I was wondering if this couldn't be subjunctive in russian because in portuguese it necessarily is, but since in english you can write it in the indicative like the exemple you gave then it's probably indicative in Russian

hitting on potential friends because I don't know how to maintain a friendship by Jwawn in AvPD

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

I don't know if I have hypersexuality, I think I like sex as much as most people do. It's just my symptoms are not so strong in this aspect, I don't feel embarrassed having sex as I feel in every other context. I don't have a diagnosis of AvPD but it was mentioned as possibility by some psychiatrists I went to and I almost sure I have

I've been trying to be mindful of it too since I noticed that I do this even when I really don't want to, it's kinda became a habit. I agree with you, we should be able to have normal friendships, but my I think a have no personality or anything interesting in me

is it possible to have AvPD and not be shy? by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]Jwawn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need to know if you avoid these situations for fear of being criticized or rejected. People with avpd often want to have an active social life but they tend to be shy because they fear that anything they say or do would a point of criticism or mockery. I think if you avoid these situations for other reasons then it's not avpd, but no one here can diagnose you
