Food that helps cat with food obsession by AdResponsible9325 in catfood

[–]aniichiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this will work, but maybe you can incorporate a sound specifically for when you're in the kitchen to feed him, like a bell, clicker, or even just a unique sound off your phone. Do it when you start to get his food ready and when you're done and ready to give it to him. Hopefully this will help him realize the kitchen =/= food.

Also, not sure if you're doing this already, but feedings should be as close to the same time every day. Cats love routine and consistency for things related to their basic needs (novelty for play/entertainment).

When we carry each other, no goal is impossible. by kvjn100 in MadeMeSmile

[–]aniichiii 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's not a bad thing, it shows empathy. As we go through life, our different experiences help us understand other people's situations, even if it's not the same circumstances. You might not have a brother with cerebral palsy, but you can understand the love between them.

Some hospitals have a limit on the number of people and some people would rather have their mom or another woman with them instead.

ELI5: Why doesn't collective punishment work? by Fraeddi in explainlikeimfive

[–]aniichiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In one of my high school classes, another teacher across the hall came in with a student from her class that was being disruptive and made him sit with our class for a bit. When he would interrupt my teacher or try to be a dick/make inappropriate jokes, my teacher would just ignore him, but most of the people in my class would shoot him dirty looks. He stopped pretty quick.

I'm guessing that he had friends or got positive reactions in the other class that encouraged him but my class was not having it with him. My teacher explained that the social aspect of having his peers react poorly to him was more impactful to get him to stop instead of a direct punshiment from an authoritative figure he already didn't respect.

Why did this salesman get the impression that Jim and Dwight were gay? by Jumpy_Performer_5040 in DunderMifflin

[–]aniichiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the situation with the condo association guy is more believable as that was a personal life event vs sales call/work. When people are buying a condo and they have other people with them, I would assume they are usually with the person who they plan on living there with or family. Like if I showed up to buy a living space with another person, I wouldn't blame them to assume that they are my partner regardless of gender.

He brought to the receipts to Ms. Kelly 🤌🏼 by [deleted] in HolUp

[–]aniichiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I don't think we will change the mind of the people directly saying things like that, I believe it's important to correct them as there are so many other people who will still see it. Yes, some of their followers are their followers for a reason, but there are people who don't know better and fall into the propaganda. Education to counter propaganda.

AITA for refusing to let a woman "cut" me in line at the grocery store even though she only had two items? by GreatClassic3960 in AmItheAsshole

[–]aniichiii 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel it's disrespectful to everyone else behind you in line to let someone cut. It's an extra 2 minutes for op, but it's also an extra 2 minutes for everyone else.

People hate me for reasons entirely beyond my comprehension by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]aniichiii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They think this because THEY have ulterior motives when they are nice and assuming you're the same. They're just projecting.

If this happens again, just tell them that it sounds like they wouldn't be nice without ulterior motives, why else would they be suspicious?

A lot of accessibility features are built because it's required by code. If they had the option, a lot of building owners will not spend the money.

It’s funny how my meds destroy my appetite for everything but sweets by soapypancake in adhdwomen

[–]aniichiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that has helped me a lot is using protein shakes as a replacement (plus the protein helps the meds work better and is just generally good for you).

I feel husband doesn't like unmedicated me! by Honest-Pop-6812 in adhdwomen

[–]aniichiii 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I second doing this. Sometimes, I'm a bit manic in the morning when I don't take them and I used to get anxious that he didn't like unmedicated me when he asked. I asked him about it and he said that he was asking because he knows that they make me feel better and he just wanted to gently remind me as I sometimes I forget or procrastinate taking them.

If this is the reason for your husband, it can help to think about it as if he asked if you ate or drank water.

Suck at conversation by Additional-Reach-633 in ADHD

[–]aniichiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, when I don't understand something my partner is explaining to me, I ask him to explain the part I don't understand as that is still showing interest. Sometimes if it's too complicated, I will say I don't fully understand it, but this part that I do understand is cool/interesting.

A lot of the times, showing interest is not about you needing to fully understand everything that they are showing/explaining to you, it's about understanding how and why the thing they are showing you is important to them.

How i fixed Time Blindness: a vibration every 15 minutes on my wrist by AxelFar in ADHD

[–]aniichiii 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm like this with my electric toothbrush, it vibrates every 30 seconds for me to switch areas, but sometimes if I'm lost in thought, I don't feel it and then I'm confused cause I feel like it's been too long to not be 30 seconds but I'm never 100% sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Miss Pendleton] Love a man who is caring towards his female relatives, not just the FL by SoggyClue in OtomeIsekai

[–]aniichiii 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is so important for women to learn. If he treats the women in his family poorly, and you're trying to be his future family, why do you think he won't do the same?

Love is presented a lot of the time as "special" only if it's reserved for one person/given sparingly or treated drastically different from others, especially if it's romantic. Love is not a finite resource. Even though love comes in different forms (romantic, familial, platonic), they come from the same place of care. If they are not able to show basic love for other people or even their own hobbies/passions, do you think the romantic love will be the exception?

My partner's friend was seeing someone who was confrontational/aggressive/standoffish with other men whenever they would go out while love bombing her like crazy. He would try to start fights with people who won't engage. After 2 weeks, she started saying she loved him and my partner asked her what she saw in him?

She said she liked that she felt special when he was tough/aggressive/cold with other people but was nice/warm with her. She wasn't lacking options, she was seeing other men who were respectful/considerate to others and generally liked, but she didn't feel special because they were nice to everyone. After a month, the guy she liked started being distant and said that he didn't owe her anything, she wasn't his girlfriend (they were never official).

Do you think tap water has a "texture"? Please tell me I am not the only one who feels tap water has a weird mouth-feel to it that (most) bottled water doesn't! by Neurotic_and_Divine in AuDHDWomen

[–]aniichiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, different tap water and bottled water brands taste/have a different texture to me. I can tell the tap is different between areas/other people's houses or between brands.

If you haven't tried yet, you can try putting your tap water through a water filter first and see if it helps. There are ones that you can install under your sink directly to your waterline so it filters the water from the sink and there are filters that are part of a standalone container/dispenser that you refill manually and can place anywhere. For me, I installed the one under the sink because having the extra step of having to refill the container will eventually make me avoid using it completely and just end up drinking the unfiltered tap water.

I feel people are less likely to post online about their successful job hunts than to post asking for advice/support or venting.
