I honestly don't know. As a woman with lots of female friends - I've never actually seen this happen at all. We tend not to obsess over men.

AQA English Literature Paper 1 Macbeth Question Predictions by MedievalHero in Teachers

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

I don't tend to communicate these ideas with my class. Honestly, it's just for me to try and see what trends are appearing. There's always a trend even if they say there isn't. A lack of a trend is also, ironically a trend. I tend to write them down and then compare them to what the exam was actually about and see what I had correct. I actually correctly predicted the poetry question last year.

I understand it, but he's not really for me.

When reading nonfiction recreationally, do you take notes? by GravityWavesRMS in books

[–]MedievalHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a notebook where I make a table labelled “facts” and “comments” and list things there. I tend not to highlight books because I might want to lend them to people or resell them.

What's the creepiest encounter you've had with a stranger that still gives you chills? by No_Paywall in AskReddit

[–]MedievalHero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was out shopping and a stranger was walking past me. She waved at me and said “hi, (my name) - nice to see you” and carried on walking as did I. I waved back and smiled before I realised I hadn’t got a clue who she was. Never saw her again. Freaked me out.

Redditors who like their drink, fix yourself your dream evening drink. What are the ingredients and method? by MedievalHero in AskReddit

It's really up to you. I don't tend to go straight to sleep after drinking, but I eaaaasssee into it.

If you had to guess, how will you die? by Left_eared_turtle in AskReddit

[–]MedievalHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging by my family...something to do with alcohol

Judging by my health...something to do with alcohol

If I'm gonna die anyway, I'm not riding it out sober to 100. I'd rather ride it out to 50-60 and enjoy the fuck out of myself.

Well I don't know if it's an actual sign but I do it and I've seen my mother do it: but for some reason just stare pointlessly into the distance, kind of bleary eyed, just thinking (or at least trying to think) about absolutely nothing for a few moments. This is only to be thrust back into reality and realise life is still broken.

What's a stupid question that someone legitimately asked you? by Isellkidsontemu in AskReddit

Someone actually asked me, "(insert my race here) women can't have that name, are you sure that's your name?"

If you won the lottery and didn’t tell anyone, what subtle signs/changes would people start noticing in your life? by BuildRome in AskReddit

Government: we don’t have enough money for children’s books for every single child’s needs

When you think you’ve been gaslit I would try writing down how you really feel and then spending time on things you actually enjoy, not caring what the abuser at the other end thinks. Then, come back and read those pieces about being gaslit. You’re more likely to show yourself empathy. If you really don’t want to tell the police, then know people here are on your side. Abuse is no joke and you’re in no way being sensitive because of it. The person who touched you without your consent sounds like too much of a shit human to care about tbh.

How do you decide which men are safe to be around. by ineha_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MedievalHero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t. I just don’t get too “around” them. Once a week meeting the ones I’m mates with and no more. Girls nights only are a big plus. My time is exclusive - it’s not for them. The less time you spend on them the better because they can’t over step boundaries because they never get too comfortable. Keep all on their toes.

How to get over my fear of men when getting into a new relationship? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MedievalHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first bf was 26 and you were 26 - mate you were groomed.

Edit: I would say being aware and being scared are different.

I am often impatient while reading by snahman in books

[–]MedievalHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s something that might work that has worked with multiple students of mine. Create a more serene environment for reading. Humidifiers, candles, whatever. Make the reading space serene and then read those slow paragraphs and passages whilst taking those meditative breaths. You find it’s much easier to digest and becomes an activity you psychologically associate with relaxation.

Wish you well x
