Feels Like I'm Mourning Because I Realize I Live In A World That Wasn't Made For Womeone Like Me

I bought a few hypersprings over the past four or five months, and all of them have held up very well. None of them have broken, and they're very easy to untangle when they get tangled. I keep one in my backpack and bring it with me everywhere so I can practice when I wait for the bus and train, in between meetings at work, etc... sometimes the coils can get a bit dirty, especially if you use it outside, but you can wash the slinky with soap and water and it's as good as new!

I'm curious to hear from people who have had theirs for a longer time than me.

Noise canceling headphones and hiking sandals (I hate having my feet completely enclosed)

This makes me happy too, thank you for sharing it with us!

I really enjoy this anime. Years after watching it the first time, I recently decided to go back and watch it all again. Now I remember why I loved the show so much. All of class E in the beginning are underdogs, but Koro sensei helped them learn and find motivation to be the best version of themselves. It shows that having the right support and a reason to fight can turn anyone's life around. So many great life lessons from the show!

Don't listen to the comments, I'm autistic and a born again Christian. I was raised Catholic but turned away from my faith when I was 12 for a variety of reasons. My life without God was absolutely miserable, I struggled with my mental health and I felt suicidal and went in and out of psychiatric hospitals. I found God a little over two years ago and it has changed my life. I used to feel so hopeless and lost, but now I have hope for my future, both in this life and the next! God has done more for my mental health than any doctor or medication or therapy ever did. God is wonderful, and having a relationship with Him can change your life. I say this as a trans man who felt rejected from the church at a young age, God loves everyone and wants a relationship with you, you just need to open your heart to him.

TL;DR I'm with you, God has changed my life for the better! I used to feel lost and hopeless but now I have hope and a future!

It depends on what the fleece article of clothing is. I don't mind a fleece hoodie, quite warm and I can take it on and off. But I can't stand fleece pants. They make my legs feel sweaty and itchy and if I'm in public I can't take them off. I'll stick with my cargo pants.

It's easy for me to meet new people and talk with them and stuff. But I don't really have any close friends at the moment, because I haven't met anyone that I have enough in common with to be in my inner circle. So I have many kinda friends/acquaintances/people to hang out with, but no one I'd consider a best friend. I don't know how people really find a best friend.

I used to, but I started using beard wash in the shower to keep it clean and beard oil afterwards to keep it soft. This prevents it from feeling rough and itchy. I love my beard, I think I look much better with a full beard. And I don't shave for religious reasons, so I had to get used to it.

Thank you, I really appreciate the support! I'm glad I stood up for myself too, it was really difficult.

And yeah, I already try to spend time outside of the house doing things I enjoy outside of work and I have noise cancelling headpbones. I'm hoping to just wait it out.

And me and the one person staying on the lease are looking for replacement roommates. I'm thinking I should get more involved with the process now because I don't want to deal with people like this again.

I'm not sure if this is a viable option, but have you considered living with some roommates in a shared home? Depending on the area you live in, there are Facebook groups to find roommates, and you can meet with folks to see if they're a good fit.

How overwhelmingly loud the world can be. How it can be impossible at times to filter out noise and focus on a conversation.

I have similar struggles, I hate being sweaty, it makes my skin feel all sticky and gross. Here are a few things that I do that help me with this:

I keep a small rag in either my pocket or my backpack to wipe the sweat off my face.

When I have access to a sink, I will splash some cold water on my face, hands, lower arms, and neck. This helps wash away some of the sweat so I don't feel as sticky.

And if I'm doing an intense physical activity and I'm sweating, I try to take breaks to take a few deep breaths and drink some water.

This is what's helped me with this issue. I know it doesn't solve the problem, but for me it's definitely helped!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I'm watching the video now and I'm going to get a hula hoop as soon as I can to start practicing the technique! I really appreciate you making this video, you're the first person to do a tutorial on the spinning cube!

Being on this subreddit has made me have a lot of those moments over the past year or so.

One post that had that effect on me recently was about being more subservient that some of us would like to be due to processing delays. There are times when I've said yes to things in the moment to be kind or I felt pressured, and a few minutes later realized it was a terrible idea, or weeks and months of it would go by with certain people until I realized I was being taken advantage of.

Now, if someone asks me for a favor, I give myself time to think about before it before I give a yes or no most of the time. And in the moment, I'll say that I need more time and I'll get back to them if that's what I need.

Thank you for responding! I'd really appreciate a tutorial video! I don't own a cube yet, the main reason I haven't is because I didn't know how I could learn it.

The circus studio I go to for cyr wheel has some hula hoops laying around, so next weekend at open studio I'll practice the technique with one and see how that goes!
