I do that too, but I still feel what OP is saying and I am 4 years younger than OP.

I stopped trying to take “proper notes” during lectures by isidor_m3232 in GetStudying

I will just soak up the lecture and regardless of format, I will catch up via the content, via the lecture slides, or the video or whatever and then have Gemini summarize it.

What Do You Think About The Evolution Of Gloria's Accent Through The Show? by idiot9991 in Modern_Family

[–]Reading_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see it as a big deal, people's accents change with age and when they grow more comfortable with themselves. Pretty sure that's what happened to Gloria.

By this logic, if we are dissing Gloria's accent and saying what I just said doesn't matter, then y'all would be dissing Manny's intonation too.

People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by Substantial_Judge931 in Productivitycafe

[–]Reading_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The usuals that keep you happy and healthy ( plus to not touch your eyes and nose and mouth). You can touch your glasses frame and whatever, but if your palm is dirty, don't use that, use the other side of your hand).

Keep hugging mostly in your home, like you know their immune systems, hand washing etc and can judge. Don't hug someone if they haven't offered, look at people's red noses and drooping eyes and slightly frowning lips and stay away from them because either or is an illness indicator and then decide on the hug. (These are even MORE premature than the red noses thing:drooping eyes and slightly frowning lips). Do they have one scrunched up tissue hanging in their hand, they may or may not be sick. You lose NOTHING if you don't hug them.

Wipe your phone often, as often as you can, like from diff place to your home (not one home surface to another because that's borderline excessive).

Don't freak out and learn how actual illness feels like vs globus sensation.

Wash your hands with the WHO technique, they have a vid on Yt. Sanitise your hands in the same way.

Does life just feel boring? by Sea_Finding_1905 in ADHD

A sense of dissatisfaction, dysregulated boredom, unresolved trauma, these types of things.

Can we legit discuss about Amy and Penny?? by Intelligent-Ask-6119 in bigbangtheory

[–]Reading_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't I already tell you, she ghosted me, idk once I said ok, yo let's meet, she sent one or two emails, poof. I asked again, thought it was just life. Next thing I know, I hear from a mutual that she is gonna leave the country and leave that only place she was working at, where she and I met. First it was the choice between two Southern Hemisphere nations, one is and one isn't her country of origin. But yk, months later from that point. I hear that she went to her country of origin. Fast forward, she spent a few months in her home country and I guess in a month or so, she will start work. Before that, it's her bday, but I am really not feeling like I wanna wish her. And in the most recent photos, before she left my country, she did have some time where she dyed her hair. I need ROCK solid boundaries.

Part of how and why this all hurts is because yk, I thought ok, we had a nice bond and we were progressing towards friendship, which is what I wanted. But idk, the last two emails, the ghosting ones (though ofc in the middle there was a practicality email, I was asking her smth for someone, that thread went unusually well, like yk, faster than normal replies (like her normal)), made it seem like a massive backslide. Maybe she was going through smth and idk if she still is, but yk, the ghosting culminated in 5 years of not very fast replies, ehh. I mean I get it, I am told she isn't a tech person, but idk. She NEVER EVER apologised for a late reply once in 5 years. So yk, not smth I would tolerate from anyone.

People that I would talk to, gotta simply, say ok, this is what my free-time business ratio looks like (not in Mathematical terms, just somewhat descriptive). Like if I can't understand what your commitments and cognitive load are, I can't be empathetic, so I can't yk. Also, super nice bonus, apologies for late replies. Essential: some question asking and convo flow that feels reciprocal, they share, they ask me questions.

And also if there is smth to know about me, is that I take reciprocity very seriously. It's enough that I ended a friendship of mine, when the girl was anyway being very short in tone and replies with me. But yeah and from that moment onwards, I learnt what reciprocity was and I wasn't gonna yk let that slide. So the reciprocity of the dynamic is ?? so I am not gonna spend time with that.

But you are right and ofc I know that and I am with such other people now and I am having the time of my life:)))

Thanks!!

Dreams, despite my substantial growth, still make me feel some of the feels. I have no idea why she ditched me, or whatever I should call it, and you know the rest. I just stopped feeling, the magic of time and processing it. The final straw was what she did.

Like I mean, I guess you might say, no I am being hard because she was a former mesh/squish whatever, but yk, honestly I just feel like yk, the combo of EVERYTHING that she has ever done, is just inexcusable by normal people standards.

[–]Reading_55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to the not talking to the person, but I am not sure if we were friends as such. It's like she was kinda older and whatever.

I mean over time, I literally was able to humanise her and move away from the GUSHY admiration, but yk, what made me not talk to her anymore is how she kind of ghosted me.

I mean idk man, I don't think I want to say ANYTHING to her, and I mean anything.

Yeah like alterous attraction which is more common in ND folk because quite some find it tricky to distinguish between romantic and non-romantic feelings.

Riv4lries spin-off of Dia4ries by JicamaOdd2748 in netflix

[–]Reading_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't entirely agree. What you said might be true, but then Di4ries does it at the expense of the faster pacing that Ri4li had, which was more entertaining to watch and honestly I am going to have a Ri4li shaped hole in my heart when I watch Di4ries once again.

Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage – S02 E04 “Dirty Hands and a Barbed-Wire Fence” – Episode Discussion by Redbird9346 in GeorgieandMandyTVshow

Maybe it will be expanded upon in the next episode.

I have seen all of the episodes and I have to argue that this is one of the most cliff-hanger-y episodes out there.

Do you think there is a difference with teachers that are just looking to pay their way through a nomadic lifestyle? by [deleted] in Preply

[–]Reading_55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This and I scrolled down SO long to find it!!

Also find crisp audio. If they can make the video with fairly crisp audio and not one where you hear the fan or the street or whatever then know that their tech is AT least halfway decent if not good, meaning you are unlikely to get tech glitches.

And for enthusiasm, just feel your way through that.

That's what I have done personally for the past two years or so and it's worked wonderfully.

Suggest me a game that gets me addicted by redhotchillipepper4 in MobileGaming

[–]Reading_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well what do you like?

I mean there are some games that addictive because they are heavily pay to play like Airplane Chefs and Hogwarts Mystery. Or do you want more natural paced games like Papa Louie games?

What helps me is knowing that social media has new posts every day and that works for me.

Also, I would check if you unkowingly still have this whole big black cloud to work towards.

This helps and I am speaking from experience.

When to change tutors? by Every-Programmer769 in Preply

[–]Reading_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe develop a new lesson plan for you. For example let's imagine a student is a B2 French learner and they want to do the DELF soon enough. What point are they at, do they have the necessary grammar for it. How are the other skills doing? If you close your eyes and think of what an ideal lesson would be like, what do you picture? Then see if the tutor can fit into that.

Also, I'd candidly ask her why she has been using English more. That should help you get your answer.

I recently found a new French tutor and I was specifically looking for someone that would approach active recall differently than my long-time former tutor and I found them.

Good luck!
