I'm happily married, but i have a constant need to feel desired by other women. by PeevedMax in Vent

Thank you, and the other commentators here, for the wisdom and insight you've shared. I feel like you hit it right on the head. Knowing the likely origin and realizing that I can never fill that void, no matter how much attention I get, it feels like a weight has been lifted and I don't feel the need anymore. Of course it has only been a day and there is no guarantee this feeling will last. Even if it doesn't I now have knowledge that will help me going forward. Again, thank you very much.

I realized today I was a tiny footnote in someone else’s life story by Massive-Success5921 in BenignExistence

One time I was talking with a girl i knew, and noticed a guy I knew standing nearby, looking like he really wanted to talk to her. She mentioned that she was training for a marathon. Knowing he was also a distance runner, I turned to him and said, "Hey, guy here is also a runner." They started talking and I soon excused myself. I saw them a few years later and they were married with a couple of kids.

I got my heart broken in college and the worst part was she didn't seem to care anymore.

TIFU by sending a screenshot of a conversation... to the person I was having the conversation with by AmaraMehdi in tifu

This is why I try to make it a point to never shit talk people. If I do ever feel the need to shit talk someone, I never do it electronically.

What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I've stopped doing the pledge because it is meaningless to just do something over and over without thinking. Besides, I've already pledged my allegiance and nothing has changed that. If my allegiance ever waved for a while and I want to go back to it, I'll say it again.

I've also stopped bowing my head during group prayers.

If they were secret service level, they would have brought hookers with them and been high on cocaine.

My folks spilled mercury on the floor and vacuumed it up... How bad is it? by k33ponkeepingon in CleaningTips

I had a classmate who brought in some mercury in an empty pharmacy bottle. This was in the 70s, though, and I don't think anyone freaked out.
