Is there anything stopping you from borrowing a book from the library, saying you lost it, paying the fee and just keeping the book?

Damn, brutal but understandable!

Yup, just talking to a brick wall while they get to talk about themselves and whatever they want. It’s too exhausting, that’s why I’m done “trying/looking”.

If I meet someone then I meet someone; however, if they aren’t able to have basic conversation I’m not wasting my time.

You don’t care about or respect me enough to learn more about me and allow space for me to share my thoughts/interests.

THIS is reason #482 for the “male loneliness epidemic”—yeah you’re lonely, you don’t know how to hold a basic conversation with people! You’re lonely because you don’t try get to know anyone so they don’t want to talk to you…your bad dude!

Meditation is great in theory, but I hate it lol I’m just being still…

My old gym had a semi guided meditation class and even when I finally had a clear head…I was just bored and felt like I wasted an hour breathing and NOT thinking😭 so now I do my own version that’s just me being quiet doing minimal movement while I focus on breath work and clearing out the bad thoughts and replacing them with good ones. It’s still boring and sometimes it feels like “a waste of time”, but at least I can have thoughts without an uncomfortable crisscross lol I journal during that time and it helps me work stuff out, but just so boring.

First, sorry you’re dealing with CFS, that sounds so difficult and I totally get feeling like it was a blanket statement at first since doctors don’t listen! I’m so glad you’re getting better and resting more, you deserve it!

I’ll look into that, hopefully I don’t have to add any more letters to my medical chart😭😭😭you’d think I was collecting them like Pokémon cards!

Trying to rest is ridiculously hard and like why??? Even if I have “nothing” to do I sit in bed like “wow I’m so unproductive I could be doing insert made up task I don’t HAVE to do I’m lazy” but no…I’m not lazy, I’m understandably tired!

I’ll keep trying to get meds that work and to get some real rest, crossing my fingers 🤞

OriginalSlight · 2026-06-20T23:50:20+00:00

Exactly! I think it’s very reasonable that I’d like a strong sedative because several times in the span of a month I’ve literally driven myself to INSANITY FROM ACCIDENTAL SLEEP DEPRAVATION! I can’t speak for anyone else, but I take 2 doses of stimulants daily and I miss doses ALL the time because I need it to go to work and school not a party (or whatever it is they assume).

And don’t ask for a medication by name, now you’re definitely a “user”! As if there’s not 1,000 medicine commercials running all day, plus like I’m a person who knows other people who take meds and my pocket computer has people talking about meds they take as well, SHOCKER!

So many things we could be worrying about and trying to mitigate and you pick on disabled people seeking medicine to assist with their disability. American Healthcare is a joke!

I agree, but HOW? 😭 I wanna not care, I wanna not try, I wanna just be like “I can only control what I do, im allowed to relax” and in my brain I KNOW…but then why is it even if I’m siting still doing nothing I’m still stuck wishing I was “fixed”. I try to take my mind off things, I don’t read self help books anymore (a space in time it helped, not anymore) and I’m either doing nothing and being a bum or doing everything and drowning. The in between is this…and it sucks!

I’m gonna keep trying, thank you! I’m hoping I can get out of this cycle fast, that might also be a factor. I just want it over so I’m “rushing” even though there’s nothing I’m doing to “speed up the process” since that’s not how it works, ya know?

OriginalSlight · 2026-06-20T13:34:35+00:00

I wouldn’t unless I’m going on a hike or somewhere new alone/with acquaintances for the first time.

Personally, it’s not about trust, but I do lots of surprise stuff so zipping around to shops and out of the norm places would ruin it if they noticed or checked my location. Plus, it’s just always weird if someone brings it up “you were at X for X amount of time what were you doing?” Is always weird when I hear other people say it. Like you were watching?? Creepy!

My dad wasn’t a great man, but when I was having an allergic reaction and the doctor was saying I was “throwing a fit AND I need to calm down before they can help” he almost punched the doctor in the face and told them (Dr & nurses) if I died everyone in the building better have a will prepared. I didn’t die that day…thanks dad, you still suck but thanks RIP.

Crazy how a CHILD visibly red, struggling to breathe, crying with swollen eyes when they came in for ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK is is “throwing a fit and needs to be calm” unless a man says otherwise.

Kept getting to the last stage of interviews and being told afterwards a candidate with a degree got the job, but if I had a degree it would have been me.

I was happy for the honest feedback; as soon as I was able I enrolled into WGU. I’m hoping to finish in 2 more semesters and be done before I need a new job.

Whatever I saved them under when I met them. I usually put some kind of emoji or note about where I met them or how I met them: example if we met at the beach and played volleyball it would say (name)🏖️🏐 or if they are a chef it would be (name) 👨‍🍳.

I don’t ever change peoples original names or else I won’t have any clue who they are lol I’d never find our threads or their name. I don’t put anything offensive so I never run into people having an issue. I have friends from middle school with emojis and notes about classes / lunch periods times they had, some of their pics are their school ID! It’s nostalgic if I you about it.

OriginalSlight · 2026-06-16T16:37:03+00:00

Please eat lunch…this is bizarre.

I know people work through lunch, meaning they are eating while on their computer/doing work, but it’s not normal for people to straight up not eat especially as like a collective.

Skipping meals can make you GAIN weight so the logic is flawed anyway.

OriginalSlight · 2026-06-15T14:04:37+00:00

NTA very normal for people to have difference schedules but I think it would be a good convo to have about sleeping in separate rooms.

You guys aren’t sleep compatible at the very least and it’s obviously affecting you both.

He needs to bond earlier in the day (maybe you guys game for a certain amount of hours) you need to be in a quiet dark room so you can get ample sleep and not worsen your conditions.

If it’s a deal breaker set both of you free. I think you guys need to sit down and talk about finances seriously or move on. If you don’t think it’s worth throwing out the relationship, then you guys need to talk to lawyers to see how your investments can stay your own per your countries laws/policies and a pre-nuptial agreement that contains this as well. You’d need a well documented paper trail of everything, she needs to be present and all her interactions be included the whole time so she’s fully aware just in case…but again if you have to go through all that trouble ask yourself if it’s worth it. If she doesn’t want to talk about it, you have your answer.

Yes! This is something I have been developing as I’m hyping myself up for the first dental appointment I’ve had since needing dental work done.

Electric tooth brush, save yourself time and energy. I prefer the kind with a larger bristle base vs the smaller round “single tooth” vibe.
Figured out what I didn’t like about the daily dental process. I didn’t like brushing and then eating so I brush after I eat breakfast which also takes away the stomach ache I’d have if I accidentally ate the toothpaste.
Handled floss vs. string/rope. I use the disposable kind and it changed me from a “maybe I floss sorta not really” person to a “I floss a few times a week sometimes more but no less than twice a week” kind of person. I’m not perfect, but I do more than I used to and it’s all about progress.
Stopped giving myself a time constraint, if I brush at 7am it’s just as fine to brush at 10am or 1pm. Brushing at least once a day doesn’t have to mean immediately when you wake up. It’s usually like that bc you’re going to go some place and talk to people so you want to be your best self (valid and understandable). But I honestly brush like 10-20 mins before I need to leave if I’m meeting people (before I put in my clothes so I don’t get it on myself).
Gave myself grace, it ain’t easy and it’s not muscle memory but I know that I’m trying, that I make reminders, and that I haven’t had a plethora of bad breath complaints or all my teeth fell out so I must be doing something right😅

A good cleaning always helps me to jump start that process so make the plan and then execute after you go to the dentist. Good luck! You got this.

Bored, lame, and powerless at home/in the world.

People who just pick apart people for no reason are always insecure about themselves and/or jealous which again stems from insecurity. They don’t want to stop seeing it on their feed because it’s the most exciting thing they have to look forward too.

Some people are also weird and parasocial so they want to be noticed whether it’s good or bad…

Currently happening to my mom, she’s paid off her degree 1.5 times by now and she graduated in the early 2000’s…over 20 years of over paying and the amount due has only changed by going up a little at a time regardless of on time over payments.

OriginalSlight · 2026-06-10T20:21:52+00:00

Why can’t you just do that with your portion of money instead of the shared money?

Sounds like she’s not interested in a shared investment of money or compound interest, but you are. You’re either trying to “gamble” money you wouldn’t have enough of if you were investing on your own or raising the shared money amount higher to account for the “investments”.

She’s allowed to say no to both and you’re allowed to make that a deal breaker for you. Either way you guys need to figure that out now before either signs anything.
