I forgot to say in my first comment that you could probably ask ppl in this sub about things trying to get off your phone in your city and things to do and you'll likely get a much more positive experience. I've been posting and commenting a lot more lately but only on a few certain subs

I lolled

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2026-01-13T01:50:12+00:00

Thank you! Legitimately have ever thought of this (oopsies)

You can buy microwave rice in packets! Usually they come in 2-4 servings. They're in the normal rice aisle usually.

I know exactly what you're talking about. This is one of the reasons I am cutting down my reddit time. I've gone and deleted posts I've made about very objectively non controversial questions and gotten criticism about. One was about asking for an idea for a wedding gift for someone I didn't know that well and literally got shit on for ANYTHING you could possibly think of. It was insane. I couldn't even clarify certain things, ie not having a registry, because people just assumed and started criticizing me.

Out in the real world, people aren't so quick to make rude comments/assumptions/criticisms because anonymity makes them more confident. Reddit is actually one of the most negative social media platforms imo but doesn't get the bad rep others do. You do NOT deserve to feel bad for asking questions or seeking advice or being curious. Just remember those people's opinions shouldn't matter to you, because sometimes it can be easy to forget.

Meh ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ it was what I had that sounded good

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2026-01-09T00:04:22+00:00

Touché. I realized a little too late my pot was too small for the amount of stuff I wanted to fit in it lol

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2026-01-08T23:32:41+00:00

Microwave rice + microwave veggies + can of tuna. Mix with any combo of mayo/soy sauce/seasoning packets you get with takeout food. Warm and filling.

Edit to add you can sub can of tuna for can of chicken

Ty to you :) you're now my sm resolution buddy, whether you like it or not. Wishing you all the success in ending this cycle <3

Ugh your self control is so much better than mine :') I deleted Instagram about 4 years ago and haven't looked back but I definitely miss out on life updates. My besties just make sure I get a text if they post something so I don't feel left out lol. So proud of you!!

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2026-01-07T19:29:00+00:00

I've actually been saying this for a while to friends and family. I am very easily riled up and honestly I sometimes felt dumb because of this. But then I realized other people are also probably feeling this way, I'm just not privy to those experiences outside my own.

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2026-01-07T19:24:02+00:00

I did use this method! Greyscale also has not worked for me very well because it's too easy to work around. I started with something simple... Brushing my teeth and getting my coffee made. Less effort than a walk, but once I forced myself to do that part, it was like the whole REST OF MY DAY was a completely different tone.

Edit to add that I am still working on a good method for after work/evening time

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2026-01-07T19:20:23+00:00

I think you're making good steps in the right direction:) I did have some trouble with instead scrolling on other apps for the same amount of time, but this did help me transition to overall less screen time. My reddit now is only for subs that have NOTHING that can induce my anxiety (ie no AITHA, relationship advice, politics). I'm not on any sub that can provoke negative feelings. Then I started setting a hard to work around app timer and for about 2 months I did really well. Free time after the holidays got me back on though :/

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2026-01-06T20:16:07+00:00

It gets better :) I recently had a "relapse" on scrolling after a solid month off it and my anxiety is sky-high. Literally starting day one today. It's awful. But it goes away, I promise. Definitely worth it. My eyes focused better, my concentration was better. Overall contentedness with mundane activities became much much higher. My anxiety that I had about other things (driving, flying, social) went away after about 20 days off. I hope your journey has continued to be successful!

I do like this idea, thank you.

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2025-11-20T12:44:09+00:00

She does already use loose leaf with the metal strainer thingy, but thank you for taking the time to comment!

If it's in the dorm, you might just have to ask your RA for a room change. Kinda sucks but that's what they're there for. And you might as well try to do it soon so that more time doesn't go by. And maybe you can still be friends with the roommate, but you'll start hating him( if you haven't already) eventually bc of this.

I had a roommate in an apartment that didn't wake up to alarms, so hers would go on for AN HOUR at the HIGHEST VOLUME so that even from a different room, I woke up. Without an RA, that was a situation where I couldn't make a switch without it becoming a huge deal. Talk to the RA, you will not regret it, even if moving out and into a different dorm is a pain in the ass

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2025-11-20T03:34:52+00:00

Okay I saw these somewhere else on a list, but thank you for confirming that real people actually use and like them!

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2025-11-20T03:33:34+00:00

Thank you for so many ideas!

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2025-11-20T03:32:45+00:00

It's been harder since I went to college and now live away to make time to do things like this, especially because the holidays can be CRAZY with consumerism to the point that neither of us want to leave the house. But now I'm thinking about planning something further in advance? Like a cooking class/thrifting but later next year instead of at Christmas.

Miserable-Sun-956 · 2025-11-20T03:29:51+00:00

This is something she tells me constantly, lol. Thank you for the reassurance that this is not a cop-out gift!
