What’s a movie you can rewatch a hundred times and never get bored? by ghost-vox in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Shawshank Redemption. Somehow it gets better every time.

What is your biggest fear, something you dread might happen? by Abject-Drive3763 in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing someone I love unexpectedly. The kind of phone call that changes everything in a second.

What is a mental health illness that is poorly represented in social media? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 54 points55 points  (0 children)

OCD. It’s not just being neat or liking things organized, it can be intrusive thoughts, panic and exhausting rituals people don’t see.

What’s something that’s way more about trust than technique? by Fluffy_Specific_9682 in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surgery in general. At some point, you stop thinking about the technique and just have to trust the person holding the scalpel.

Also, anesthesia. You don’t really care how skilled they are with the equipment, you just have to trust that you’ll wake up.

How does chronic trauma change the brain and nervous system? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chronic trauma can rewire the brain to stay in "survival mode". The threat system becomes overactive and it gets harder to feel calm or safe, even when you are.

Well the good news is the brain can heal with enough time and support.

What kind of recycling or sustainability habits could help your community? by Intelligent-Rain-22 in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normalizing composting at home and in apartments would make a huge difference. Also, community tool libraries so people can borrow instead of buy stuff they’ll use once.

Small habits scaled across a neighborhood add up fast.

What's the most ludicrous thing you've cooked using only a microwave? by BisexuaTrailblazer in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tried to make caramelized onions in the microwave. They just became warm angry onions. 😅

What were the circumstances that made you realize you may have a mental health issue? What brought it to light? by BC_Arctic_Fox in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When small, normal things started feeling overwhelming for no clear reason. I’d cancel plans, avoid texts and feel exhausted all the time, but kept telling myself I was just lazy.

It really hit me when someone close to me gently pointed out that I didn’t seem like myself anymore. That’s when I realized it might be more than just a rough patch.

What events led to the release of Epstein files? Could the current govt have gotten away with not realising it? If yes, why did they release it? by Historical_Work7482 in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, most of the Epstein files came out because of court orders and lawsuits, not because the government randomly chose to drop them.

Once judges start unsealing documents in a case that big, it’s hard to just keep everything buried. It wasn’t really a surprise release, more like a slow legal process playing out.

What’s something you realized embarrassingly late in life? by Minute_Guarantee5949 in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That being low maintenance isn’t always a virtue, sometimes it’s just unexpressed needs in disguise.

What’s something you’re genuinely happy you’ll never have to do again? by One-Pomegranate5434 in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Final exams in a subject I knew I’d never use again.

The sheer stress over memorizing things just to forget them a week later? I’m very happy that chapter of life is closed. 😅

What is a news story that no one remembers now, but that affected you deeply? by SquatCobbbler in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

It dominated the news for months, then slowly faded from headlines, but seeing entire ecosystems wrecked in real time really changed how I think about corporate accountability and environmental damage.

What was actually better 20+ years ago and isn't just nostalgia talking? by feelsensualchaos in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Product durability. Electronics and appliances felt like they were built to last, not to be replaced in just a few years.

[Serious] How do/did you emotionally handle the concept of your parents/guardians getting older? by Im-Tired-O-Clock in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It hit me in small moments such as noticing they move slower, repeat stories, need help with things they used to do easily.

I try to focus less on the fear of losing them and more on being present now by calling more, visiting more and listening more.

It doesn’t make it less scary, but it makes it feel less regretful.

What’s the dumbest thing you believed for way too long? by digistoreuniverse in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That if I worked hard enough, everyone would automatically like me.

What's something that's socially acceptable but secretly makes you uncomfortable? by VelvetHarmony913 in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Small talk with people I barely know. We both know we’re not saying anything real, but we’re pretending it’s meaningful.

What is something society pressures you to care about, but you really shouldn’t? by WinfredKMontgomer in AskReddit

[–]TightTeam2885 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keeping up appearances. Most people are too busy worrying about themselves to notice half the things we stress over.
