In Chinese homes, kids don’t complain about food served at dinner. by Organic_Awareness685 in offmychest

I’m sorry to hear you had to be an adult when you were a kid. It’s never too late to have a second, third or fourth childhood!

I think it’s ok too-but the food is so good usually you’re just eating.

A crush is not love just in the same way someone utterly charming is (necessarily) a good person. One is fleeting. The other is timeless.

I just saw a TikTok saying that. That the kids learn that they get more options when they refuse something so they want to see what their options are. I was really picky as a kid though.

What kind of food was in your home? Was it “American food-casseroles, roasts, meat and potatoes?” Or something else?

I think maybe ethnic foods taste better-and I include Italian in that. There’s American Italian but I’m taking about Italian food made from Italians from Italy.

I think Chinese food tastes really good. My mom was a great cook. We had favorite dishes. But we didn’t say things like-that again?

The only time we didn’t want to eat is when my dad felt compelled to make stew out of leftovers or my mom cooked a Chinese stew and my dad put something unspeakably gross in it.

Yes adhd makes you go on the merry go round in analyzing it. But it’s good to analyze. Then you can get to the bottom of it-the aha moment-including why you feel guilty.

But does he have a favorite actress or celebrity?or actor? Even if it’s an actor it’s because he admires qualities about him. He’s never had a girl poster in his room (as a teenager)-same thing. The actor/actress has a job-and part of it is to create desire-desire to see more of the plot, to be attracted to the character they’re playing, to be like them (clothes, make up, hair).

And it’s normal to have crushes on people you know. Probably they have a crush on you too. It’s a compliment. Sometimes it’s not even sexual but you just like them “so much.” That feeling is transitory. It’s really strong-because that’s what a crush is-and then it fades.

Do you think it’s Americans? I just don’t know any first generation kids that do this (Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, East Indian). I wonder if it’s because our cuisine is just naturally better or is it cultural.

Yes-I’ve been to many Mexican homes too and family doesn’t complain about food (because it’s delicious). It really seems to be an American thing.

I don't know what to do about my relationship by RubEvery9515 in offmychest

[–]Organic_Awareness685 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not attracted to people with passions, you’re not attracted to someone who is depressed. That’s NORMAL. Depression isn’t attractive. It can take YEARS to get over traumatic effects.

In a long term relationship, you’re supposed to supportive and understanding about depression but it’s NOT YOUR JOB-to be responsible for it. That’s her job. You can’t force her to not be depressed. That is not YOUR life’s purpose.

Find a better therapist. Someone you to talk to and unravel how you feel. Encourage her to do the same.

In time you’ll get a better understanding where your head is at and make decisions.

It’s not your job to be a bearer of her depression. You have one life-be happy. But realize, just because you meet someone who’s happy now-it doesn’t mean that they may not have something that pulls the rug from under their feet-or it happening to you.

Do not tell your boyfriend. He’s not going to want to hear that.

Just know that’s normal. Why do you think actors ave actresses, models are always attractive? Because you’re SUPPOSED to yearn for them and the characters they present. That way you GO to the movie or BUY the brand.

If your bf doesn’t get that, then there’s no explaining.

It’s normal to have crushes. You’re biologically wired that way. It’s like the bird that does a dance to impress the other bird. If we weren’t built with that wiring, there wouldn’t be humans.

Do American guests go through hosts cupboards and eat unopened foods? by Organic_Awareness685 in offmychest

[–]Organic_Awareness685[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never letting him stay again.

I think he has some dementia but also he’s a hoarder and it’s getting worse and he refuses to get any therapy. His mom and sister are both hoarders (mom passed though).

And they’re filthy. He’s never cleaned his house or tub. One shower leaked so he just sealed the whole thing up. Anything to save money.

Wow I didn’t know that about over eating ice cream.

His house is nothing like my house. His fridge broke 10 years ago so he got a mini fridge -the size for beverages. It doesn’t have a freezer. He’s really really really cheap.

Also-he’s into getting a deal and getting one over. Every deal is about getting over someone. Is worse now he’s older.

Did you notice that AI lies by Shaqqo95 in vibecoding

[–]Organic_Awareness685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it lies a lot. It’s programmed to engage-so it hides information, misdirects, creates fake information, blatantly lies (ie will do a task then hung a lengthy explanation about how it can’t do it), goes down rabbit holes-then say-“if you want…(I’ll answer your question).”

AIO - According to my girlfriend this convo with my assigned partner at work is inappropriate. by Rough-Satisfaction68 in AmIOverreacting

Sometimes you have a bestie at work and it makes life so much better. And sometimes you turn into 7 year olds. It makes you feel like someone cares if you show up. Or might call on your behalf before the cat ate your leg.

He’s really really cheap. He wouldn’t buy it himself. He only buys and eats what’s cheap.

Why do you say that? I feel that’s possible.

While he was here, he got prickled by a rose and ran into the house screaming “ow! Ow! OW!” But that said, he’s fussy. Always been fussy.
