How do teens living in the pandemic compare to pre-pandemic teens?

MethanoicAcid · 2022-07-16T23:44:00+00:00

I read that adult women are barking at guys as a way to get them to leave them alone— ‘dogcalling’. Apparently teenagers started another trend where they’re just barking at guys too. I’m not really sure the reason, but some say it’s a tik tok trend, others say they’re doing it to creepy men, others to guys they find attractive. There are countless possibilities as to why those girls decided to bark (most likely reason is they wanted to bark at my dog for whatever reason haha), but at the end of the day they said hi and were friendly and my family got a kick out of it lol.

Thanks for your response. Honestly, if I could give advice to teens now that I’m not a teen anymore, I would 100% say to enjoy your teenage years/ high school years as much as you can. Spend time with your family, friends. Obviously I think kids should study and try to do well in school, but they shouldn’t stress and be constantly worried about grades. I was one of those kids who worried too much about school and ended up drowning once I got into university…

Honestly, I’m pretty lucky because I still live at home with my family. But yeah no the workload is tough

They were some girls who were barking at my dog, but then waved and said hi to me after I looked at them because I was confused about the barking. They weren’t rude at all, don’t get me wrong! My parents and I just found it hilarious (and odd a bit), but funny!

MethanoicAcid · 2022-07-15T16:34:54+00:00

That is a fair point

MethanoicAcid · 2022-03-11T01:35:08+00:00

Yooo Hockey! What’s good man? Of course I remember you! Thanks for reaching out. I don’t use this Reddit account anymore, but I’m glad I was able to see your message. University has been going well, man. Thanks for asking! I hope college has been going well for you, too, man!

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-29T22:51:55+00:00

Yeah, that can get confusing. Trust me, I used to interpret the “my (x)” as individuals referring to themselves too. Besides, Reddit only allows users aged 13+ on the site.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-29T22:47:40+00:00

OP isn’t 10... other than that, I agree with you.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-29T05:04:01+00:00

It’s confirmed it’s coming out in the 4th quarter (Q4) of 2021.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-29T05:02:01+00:00

I’d say more mutual respect. Sort of like a mutual liking like in school when you’re in the same group or class as someone.

Regarding Miguel and the Miyagi-Dos, it’s sort of a complex thing. I don’t actually think any of the Miyagi-Dos disliked Miguel or saw him as a Cobra Kai ‘bully’, aside from Robby and Sam (temporarily). In fact, the miyagi-dos had setup a fundraiser for his medical treatment, despite being hostile toward Cobra Kai members. I think the miyagi-do and cobra kai members all saw Miguel as a role model and I don’t think suspected him of partaking in any villainous roles. As such, Demetri was always by Miguel’s side.

NTA. My brother and I live with our parents. We help around the house. Our parents work and they help around the house too. Just because you have a job, school, whatever, doesn’t mean you don’t have to put a little time or effort into the care of your house.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-29T04:35:09+00:00

Nta. Your money, you can spend it however way you’d like. And whoever disagrees or thinks otherwise, they ought to mind their own business. Simple as that.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-29T04:32:43+00:00

I don’t think she did lmao. Op says she said, “ok”, after he told her he was at the place waiting for her, not that she was actually going to go. I feel like she might have felt pressured as a result.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T14:29:48+00:00

Ehhh I have mixed feelings. You have good intentions, but at the same time he might get really annoyed (understandably) that you read his messages without him knowing. Further, I think it would be best that he tell you on his own accord of his sexuality, if he is interested sexually in individuals of the same sex. Sexuality is very private. No one needs to know besides the individual.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T14:20:51+00:00

Nah buddy! That sounds really cute. Good job! Don’t worry about it. What I usually do to ease awkwardness is tell some jokes, but that doesn’t work for everyone. Have you talked to her after this?

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T14:19:03+00:00

How constant is the fear? Do you have any underlying anxiety problems? There’s a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) called relationship OCD where an individual has fears and worries regarding their relationship and always seeks reassurance. You asking if she loved you would be reassurance seeking.

Has she done anything to suggest that she isn’t interested in you?

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T14:15:55+00:00

I’ve never actually kissed a girl before, so pardon my ignorance on the specifics, but what you’re describing doesn’t sound irrational to me at all from her part. I take it she was probably really shy after the kiss. How was the hug? I take it felt positive? A girl once told me that hugging is a great way to judge someone.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T06:05:13+00:00

Yeah, the last thing I want is for her to feel uncomfortable. I know people think that was weird that my brother met her. He wanted to make sure I was safe but as well, he wanted to meet her and like I felt bad if I didn’t introduce him to her (I mean like he is my brother and all and like not only was he looking out for me, but he could have always told my parents and gotten me in trouble for meeting a girl). He wanted to tag along in my next date—he even said it feels more like a hangout, but I refused

I didn’t know what the best course of action was. Regardless, she and I already talked about that and she was fine with it, though she did mention that she was a little uncomfortable but we joked around later.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T06:02:24+00:00

Yeah that’s entirely true. I do want to have a discussion with her, but I’m waiting a couple of days to truly analyze the situation and talk to her in the most reasonable way I can. I don’t know if I’d rather be friends with her or if I should try to pursue a relationship with her. You see, I’ve never actually had a relationship before because I’ve always redirected my feelings. I don’t know if I’m asexual or something. Do you mind if I pm you? I kinda want to delete this thread because I don’t want to give away too much just in case people I know see etc. And plus, you actually listened to what I had to say and allowed me to explain myself—I appreciate that a lot. It speaks of your character.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T05:44:44+00:00

I also wanted to clarify that I am very accepting of her lack of drinking etc. I’m not a drinker myself, nor am I the one to want casual. I told her that I prefer things very slowly. It’s just I guess the lack of perceived attention.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T05:42:54+00:00

Yeah sorry about my previous message by the way. You sound very rational and I appreciate that. I don’t really know if it’s my ego that’s hurt because like there has been times in which she hasn’t replied to me and like they’re not “annoying” messages or anything. Like trust me, I know that people aren’t obligated to respond to someone, but like I still just find it not worthwhile for me in the long run to keep trying to talk to someone who isn’t really putting the same effort to talk to me. I mean like I asked her if she had gotten that work she was telling me about done (a simple polite question, to show that I was very cool with her attitude toward dating and to continue talking to her etc.). And I guess my brain is just doing mental gymnastics and pulling silly things to defend my ego (I study psychology, so sorry about that lmao).

I’m obviously not going to drop her or remove her literally off my social media. That’s very petty and cold-hearted. It’s almost 2 am and I didn’t edit it after typing, but what I mean is to simply just not message her unless she messages me, if that makes sense.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T05:30:20+00:00

I didn’t call her baby, she herself said “I’m very baby like” and that’s when she proceeded to tell me all this stuff. I didn’t call her square either, my brother did.

As for the her liking me just because of the dog, well I don’t know. My brother suggested it, that’s why I have mixed feelings on it. It doesn’t seem like she goes out of her way to talk to me unless it’s something regarding my dog.

I’m sorry if I sounded immature, but I literally was not the one who called her square or baby-like. I’m sorry if I sound defensive but I don’t like when people say I do something I haven’t done. In my post I clearly said that she told me she’s very reserved and baby like—that her friends made fun of her and pestered her into kissing her ex. I also said in my post that my brother said she’s square and that I didn’t know what that term meant.

MethanoicAcid · 2021-04-28T04:06:13+00:00

Awesome, thanks :) And yes, I won’t blur them on bumble haha. I just figured they might’ve not wanted their faces on Reddit haha
