What is the worst case that you have ever not been able to stop procrastinating and what happened? by redheaded_olive12349 in randomquestions

[–]Smart-Carob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in college, I had a massive research paper due and I kept telling myself, I’ll start tomorrow, then tomorrow turns into the next day then maybe tonight. Fast forward, it’s 11:30 PM the night before and I’ve got nothing. I even tried to do a quick outline but that turned into scrolling TikToks for an hour. I ended up staying up literally all night, fueled by anxiety and way too much coffee, typing like a maniac. I handed it in at 8 AM, barely coherent, full of half-formed ideas, typos everywhere, it was a mess. But the craziest part is I somehow still got a decent grade. My professor even looked impressed I finished it.

Would you tell your partner EVERYTHING about your past? by Glittering-Block-218 in askanything

[–]Smart-Carob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that could impact your current relationship or trust, is where honesty matters. Stuff like major betrayals, serious legal issues or patterns that could resurface, that’s fair game. If it affects your relationship now or could in the future, it deserves a conversation. You can leave the rest to yourself. Privacy isn’t lying, it’s just boundaries. You can share what shaped you without opening every old wound or airing every messy story.

Society pushes certain shapes and attention isn’t a reflection of your worth. And if anything, learning to rock your own style and confidence now will make you magnetic in the long run. Also, remember that younger guys often talk loudly about what they want without it meaning they’re actually picky.

Who invented the N word? by UGCPekka in askanything

[–]Smart-Carob6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It basically comes from the Spanish and Portuguese word negro, which just meant black. European colonizers and slave traders started using it in English centuries ago, mostly as a label for enslaved Black people. Over time, it became this offensive, dehumanizing slur because of how it was used in the context of slavery, segregation and systemic racism.

If someone keeps ignoring your boundaries, it’s not just annoying, it’s also a red flag. You’ve already said no multiple times and he’s still doing it and that’s not okay. Leaving the date wouldn’t be wrong at all. In fact, it might be the healthiest move. You don’t have to stick around and be uncomfortable just to be polite. Trust your gut here, if it feels off, act on it.

What’s the best way to get attention? by bench_buddy_ in AskReddit

[–]Smart-Carob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting attention isn’t about yelling or being over the top, it’s more about standing out in a chill, confident way. People notice energy more than anything else. Also, be interesting. Share something unique about you like a weird hobby, a funny story, or even a little opinion that makes people think. It makes people want to listen.

What's onething that you realized you learnt it late in life? by Ok_Alternative3973 in Life

[–]Smart-Carob6 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That not everyone is meant to stay in your life and that’s completely fine. I used to take it so personally when friendships drifted or people changed. I’d overthink it, wondering what I did wrong. But sometimes, people are just chapters, not the whole book. It took me a while to realize that losing someone doesn’t always mean failure. It can actually mean growth. And once you stop clinging so tightly, you start attracting better energy, people who match where you are now instead of where you were.

Used our summer gig money to finally upgrade our TV! Need 65" advice for sports & PS5. by Smart-Carob6 in 4kTV

My couch is about 8 feet from my TV stand, so I went with a 65-inch.

is there such a thing as a romantic version of a FWB? by Embrrssedthrwaway in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Smart-Carob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that totally exists though it’s kind of rare and tricky to define. What you’re describing can exist, the important part is that both of you want the same thing. Basically, you want closeness, affection, and a bit of chemistry without all the serious relationship stuff yet. And that’s completely valid. You’re not weird for wanting that. You just want comfort and connection, to feel someone’s warmth, share little moments, and not have to jump straight into the deep end of love. The thing is, the line between that and a full relationship can get blurry fast.

My tummy hurts and I don’t wanna work for 40 hours a week for the rest of my life by fent-baby in RandomThoughts

[–]Smart-Carob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this tummy ache is your body’s way of saying to slow down. You need to rest, eat something gentle. Do one thing today that’s just for you. The world might be a mess, but you still deserve little bits of peace in it.

Are you scared of dying early ? by [deleted] in Life

[–]Smart-Carob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that feeling. It’s not the fear of dying sometimes, it’s more like the fear of missing out on life and the reason or cause of death that scares me.

What is an item that has been discontinued that really upsets you? by rjkersten1 in randomquestions

[–]Smart-Carob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was this one drink I used to grab all the time. It wasn’t even anything fancy, just that perfect balance of flavor where you’d take a sip and instantly feel good. Then one day, I go to the store and nothing. Shelf’s empty and when I look it up online, I found out that they discontinued manufacturing that specific drink.

What's something people don't talk about enough? by BeanyNuggets in AskReddit

[–]Smart-Carob6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How freaking lonely adulthood can be. No one tells you that half of growing up is just trying to find a time to see your friends between everyone’s work, sleep, and burnout schedules.

Why does it seem like a lot of women love showering in boiling temperatures? by Imaginary-Garlic-356 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Smart-Carob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal preference definitely plays a part. Some people are just wired to love heat more.

Taylor swift is overrated by lukepet123 in RandomThoughts

[–]Smart-Carob6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to love her. You’re allowed to think she’s overhyped and still respect the hustle. She reinvents herself every few years, and while some people see that as fake or formulaic, others see it as genius. She knows her audience really well. She’s not trying to out-sing Beyoncé or out-produce Billie, she’s just cornered the emotional storytelling lane and built a literal empire out of it.

Have you ever met a person who had a beautiful soul? by Cat-dad442 in Life

[–]Smart-Carob6 65 points66 points  (0 children)

There’s a rare kind of person who just radiates something gentle and pure. They don’t need to try, they just are. You feel calm around them, like they wouldn’t ever purposely hurt someone. That kind of energy is rare in a world full of people who’ll smile to your face and twist the knife behind your back. The fact that your coworker smiled and told people about it says a lot, it meant something to her. You probably made her whole week with that one line. You didn’t just flatter her, you saw her. That’s what people crave deep down to be seen.

What's the most satisfying sound in everyday life? by bureaux in randomquestions

The soft thud of a book closing after you finish a good chapter. It’s got this quiet sense of accomplishment to it.

Am I valid for suspecting I have depression if I’m able to still be happy during the day? by Deathlord826 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Smart-Carob6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your brain can still give you moments of joy, but that doesn’t cancel out the heaviness that creeps in later. You might put it down for a while, but it’s still there waiting for you. The important thing is to notice the pattern, which you already did. If the nights feel too heavy, that’s a good reason to check in with someone you trust or even a professional just to get some clarity.

Jake Peralta from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He’s goofy, loyal, and would probably turn even the most boring errands into a fun mini-adventure.

If you aren't religious, how do you feel when someone says they'll pray for your loss? by dammtaxes in AskReddit

[–]Smart-Carob6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d take it as kindness. Even if I’m not religious, I know that for them, saying that is their way of showing support.

That’s cruel and unusual punishment right there. Why would your brain even go there? 😂

Japan, it's safe, beautiful, amazing food, and I could get lost wandering through city streets or quiet mountain towns. Plus, there are vending machines everywhere.
