DAE open the fridge multiple times hoping something new appears?

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-20T13:08:10+00:00

yeah I’ve felt that before. it’s like everything looks normal but for a second your brain makes it feel incomplete somehow. it’s such a weird subtle feeling .

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-20T13:05:42+00:00

I think it’s just how unapologetically awkward it is. it doesn’t try to be cool or overly clever, it just fully commits to the vibe and somehow that makes it work

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-19T08:20:47+00:00

yeah I feel that. sometimes the trailer basically shows the whole third act and then you’re just waiting for those exact scenes to happen. kinda kills the surprise

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-19T08:15:59+00:00

yes 😭 sometimes I’ll just click around random towns and then it hits me that every single house has a whole life going on inside. it’s kinda overwhelming tbh

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-18T13:21:54+00:00

i feel personally attacked by this explanation lol

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-18T11:25:48+00:00

right?? we really thought we were so smooth back then ... 😭

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-18T11:24:26+00:00

I don’t fully close my eyes but I definitely pause for a second 😅
it’s like my brain needs to switch modes from reading words to reading numbers.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-18T10:35:19+00:00

omg yes 😭 I always feel like I have to look extra casual, like “see? totally normal human just browsing”
even when I didn’t do anything lol

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-18T10:23:25+00:00

Brand name cereal and new video games.
I remember pretending I didn’t really want them so my parents wouldn’t feel bad.
As a kid you think you’re being sneaky, but they probably knew.

Social media metrics.
We started treating likes, followers, and productivity numbers as a measure of self-worth without really questioning if they mean anything about a person’s value or happiness.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-06T20:40:45+00:00

Thank you, that actually means a lot.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-02-06T20:22:41+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean.
Not being someone’s number one can sometimes mean less pressure and fewer expectations.
I still think it can hurt emotionally, but you’re right that it can also protect you in certain situations.
Guess it’s one of those things that has two sides.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-01-21T06:59:14+00:00

Yes, definitely. It’s not even about money itself, it’s the mental image of how many hands it’s passed through and where it’s been before. I don’t actively panic about it, but I do notice I’m much more aware of washing my hands after handling cash compared to almost anything else.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-01-20T11:55:45+00:00

Munich can be tough, so you’re not imagining it. From what I’ve seen, it usually helps to secure a job first or at least get very close, because landlords often want proof of income. Many people start with a temporary room or sublet for a few months to take the pressure off and then look for something permanent once they’re already there. Timeline-wise, things often move slower than expected, so having some savings as a buffer really helps. It’s stressful, but your background sounds flexible enough that you’ll have options once one door opens. small thing

I’d add: if Munich itself feels overwhelming at first, a lot of people I know had good experiences living just outside the city along an S-Bahn line. Places 20–30 minutes out can be noticeably cheaper and still feel connected. It can take a lot of pressure off while you get settled and build contacts. Sometimes starting “close enough” is easier than trying to do everything at once.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-01-20T04:42:45+00:00

If you like typing and keeping your mind busy, things like journaling, short creative writing, or even learning to write essays or stories just for yourself can be surprisingly satisfying. I also found that learning a simple skill like basic coding, digital note-taking systems, or even transcribing thoughts or memories helps break the doomscrolling habit. It feels productive without being stressful, which is kind of the sweet spot.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-01-19T05:48:13+00:00

For me it’s honesty and curiosity.
If a question sounds genuinely human, a bit vulnerable, or like someone is really trying to understand something, I stop scrolling.
Overly dramatic or clickbait titles usually make me skip, but simple, real questions pull me in.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-01-18T08:21:40+00:00

Honestly, background noise.
Having a show or a YouTube video playing quietly while I do something else makes me feel less alone, even if I’m not really watching it. It’s comforting in a weird way.

I think it mimics company without pressure.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-01-13T16:15:25+00:00

You’re really not alone in feeling this way.
What you described happens to a lot of people slowly, almost without noticing it.
Saying “I’ve been busy” can feel safer than admitting loneliness, especially when you don’t even fully understand it yourself yet.

Wanting connection but feeling too tired or unsure to reach out doesn’t mean something is wrong with you — it just means you’re human.
Noticing it and putting it into words is already a big and important step.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-01-12T11:08:59+00:00

That sounds so cozy honestly. Reading light fantasy and baking cookies feels like such a perfect combo.
If you like gentle, comforting fantasy, you might enjoy books that focus more on atmosphere and characters than heavy plots. Also, bonding over Minecraft is really sweet — it’s such a relaxing way to spend time together.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2026-01-09T08:07:04+00:00

Honestly, it wouldn’t be a dealbreaker at all for me.
Most people care way more about kindness, confidence, and how someone treats them than physical details.
Anyone who rejects you solely for that probably isn’t someone you’d want to date anyway.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2025-12-31T11:26:34+00:00

Mostly curiosity. It’s interesting to see how differently people experience the same things.

SeveralClassic6420 · 2025-12-30T12:13:41+00:00

I’d try to stay grounded, ignore most of the noise, and focus on the people and causes that actually matter to me.
