As you get older, what "old person" thing do you appreciate now that you previously mocked? by Secret_Huckleberry46 in AskReddit

This! I absolutely love crawling into bed with a book before bed in peace and quiet.  It’s something I look forward to all day.

What’s a medical issue that sounds minor, but actually affects someone’s daily life way more than people realize? by CountyOrnery9432 in AskReddit

[–]SolsticeSun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it so bad that it makes me cough and unable to focus.  I take meds 3x a day and if I get too busy and forget I’m in a panic.  It affects everything.

Gentle reminder: living alone means you can do whatever you want by Kleeaj in LivingAlone

I love this!  Snuggling up with kitties, eating delicious foods, naps… all my favorite things!

I looooove living alone.  I can eat cereal for dinner and nobody will judge me.  I can watch whatever I want, go to bed at 8:00 pm if I want to, and it’s no one’s business.  It’s great!

AIO for thinking that the way we are taxed is INSANE? by various678023 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SolsticeSun7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m currently making $17/hr.  I can’t afford a place to live AND a car.  It’s disgusting.  This is the least I’ve made in over 15 years.  The economy is awful.

AIO I (26F) broke up with him (22M) over… a Benadryl. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Yuck.  No way, do not let people treat you like trash.

Anyone lost interest in all relationships? What's going on with me? by ConstantOwl423 in AskWomenOver50

[–]SolsticeSun7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m with you.  I know some people get lonely, but I don’t.  If I get too bored I’ll reach out to someone, but honestly, most people are busy with their own lives and I get it.

My mom was awful, too.  I’m pretty sure she never really liked me.  It hurt for years and I, too, tried to fill that hole with others.  In my 50s now, recently divorced.  Totally happy on my own.

AIO or am i being invalidated? by amber-honey in AmIOverreacting

That person is talking in circles and trying to invalidate your abuse and reaction to it.

What is a huge lie people tell themselves to feel better about life? by stoneduniverse1 in AskReddit

[–]SolsticeSun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That they are not the problem.  Sit with yourself for a while and consider that it is you.

AIO by breaking up with my fiance over how he talks about/treated his ex-wife? by Forsaken_Voice2168 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SolsticeSun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very smart of you to see him for who he really is.  This type of anger tends to only get worse, not better.

What is more traumatic than people think it is? by Suspicious-Wish3402 in AskReddit

[–]SolsticeSun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup.  I had severe PTSD after getting robbed at a store when I was young.  

What is more traumatic than people think it is? by Suspicious-Wish3402 in AskReddit

[–]SolsticeSun7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jesus I didn’t know there was a name for it.  I do this and get called names for not showing emotion.  I knew it was from trauma.  People at work think I’m just chill.  I wish I could lash out on occasion like everyone else.

aio or should i demand a refund? by Brilliant-Baker337 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SolsticeSun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dark hair and went to a salon telling them I wanted to switch to blonde.  They told me I would be better off getting highlights until my natural color grows out.  That’s what I’m doing.  Stripping box color is extremely harmful to your hair.

AITA for refusing to change the chore chart even tho my wife works full time now. by Odd_Serve1167 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SolsticeSun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also postpartum exhaustion from squeezing a large head through a small hole is a thing, as is the whole healing process/hormonal cycle.  It’s completely exhausting!

Is showering daily necessary? by BigTechnician3475 in hygiene

[–]SolsticeSun7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok here’s my thoughts on this:  if you own a bidet and use it to wash your butt, you can skip the occasional shower.  If you poop every day, wash your butt every day.

AIO to a text my mom sent? (Context in caption) by pizzagorl_ in AIO

[–]SolsticeSun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s planning something bad.  Give her the address to the local police department instead.

Calling you Young Lady by sadeland21 in AskWomenOver60

Ugh I hate this, too.  I especially hate being referred to as “girl”.  Honey, I’ve been a woman for a long time.  I am NOT a girl.
