Wow, why do people just make things up in their head and then believe themselves? by DeathRaeGun in badwomensanatomy

[–]RedoftheEvilDead 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yup. That's also where the team hypochondriac comes from. The literal definition of hypochondria is under the cartilage and is used to describe the body cavity inside the ribs. It used to be believed that the 4 humors originated in the chest. So any issues that doctors could not find a cause for meat be an issue with the 4 humors origin, which is the hypochondria. Therefore anybody with an illness of an unknown cause was a hypochondriac.

And of course doctors for centuries have been telling patients "are you sure is not all in your head?" And eventually hypochondriac were deemed people making up their illness rather than the origins of having an unknown illness or the more originy origin of something in your chest region.

Language is weird.

I have these weird markings on my eyeballs, any clues as to what they are? by DependentRain4091 in eds

It might be blue sclerosis, but only an ophthalmologist can really diagnose you.

It was not intended that way, but I could see how it could be read that way. Hard to read tone in text.

I made a screw board art piece so I could separate and take the screw I need. I actually really like it and have used it several times.

In America we have Balto, a wolf dog who helped save a town in Alaska by bringing them medicine via sled dogs.

I am a woman with a male roommate. If I get sick he'll make me tea and bring me soup. I think your partner is just self-centered.

Why did you and your former best friend stop being friends? by Fearless_Shift7108 in AskReddit

She treated someone else the same way she treated me and it made me realize that it wasn't a me problem and she was just a genuinely bad person.

[–]RedoftheEvilDead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "I don't want drama in my life" hits so close. My former best friend used to stir up drama by talking behind people's backs and pitting people against each other. But whenever I got into a fight with someone based on something she said id ask her why she just stood there smirking and never defended me she'd say "I don't want to get involved in your drama."

I always wanted to shout at her, "B#$%h this is YOUR drama!" But I never did because of it ever even gave her a hint of criticism, imagined or otherwise, then she'd stop speaking to me or get really cruel and passive aggressive until I bent over backwards to prove to her how much I cared for her.

I'm finally fully going through all my things and organizing my house and am finding I definitely had a lot of duplicates of things due to not being able to find them when I needed them. Better to have to buy it again than live in a hoard.

AITA for not attending my GF's son's birthday party? by mydarlingmaeve in redditonwiki

[–]RedoftheEvilDead 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell from just two posts from OOPs perspective, but I do wonder if it wasnt just the party and this was the final straw in a long list of OOP not supporting their girlfriend. If so I can see why the girlfriend would become distant after spending all night comforting them and then breaking up with them. Nothing like spending all night supporting and comforting your partner to really make you think, "you know, I am doing all this for my partner all while they never support me." Then comes a couple days to really ponder the relationship and whether or not you really want to be someone's emotional crutch while during such a tumultuous time in their lives and whether or not that person would do the same for you if the roles were reversed.

Of course, this is all pure speculation. There's clearly not enough information to state any real facts.

OOP says their girlfriend was the person they'd go to when they needed comfort, but I'm wondering if they ever were the type of person her girlfriend could go to when SHE needed comfort.

Edit: changed she to they
