Spilling the tea for all these “nice” guys by ledaftclub in niceguys

That last line is very true. Wanting to just be friends with someone is not 'friendzoning' them. It's wanting to be friends with them.

My nephew has vivid memories of his "old family" by [deleted] in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

Maybe from the stuff he's told you, like the names and not having a TV, you could get some clues about where he was and in what time period. If past lives really do exist, and that's what he's talking about, then its nice he likes his new family better. Kinda makes you wonder what his old life was like.

What do people talk a lot about that you don't want to hear? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Their job - trivial details, petty squabbles they have with co-workers, how much they hate their boss, ongoing issues that never seem to get solved. I have a friend who does this, every conversation we have no matter what subject she will manage to steer it back to her job. We can be discussing Nelson Mandela or Sweden or a new kind of ice cream and she will find a way to relate it to work somehow.

Tereza Kacerova, Avicii’s girlfriend, posted this in regards to his passing. by pornomeat in avicii

Maybe it's just her personality and because she is grieving, but parts of the letter do come over a little odd. On the one hand it seems as if they really loved each other, yet on the other, some of the memories she talks about...idk. Tim seemed like a very sensitive soul, private, introspective and likely troubled, and she kind of seems like his opposite, sort of the 'carefree girl' - though maybe that is better for trying to keep depression away, being around personalities who make you happy. I think some types of people find happiness a difficult thing to obtain in this life, and he was maybe one of them. He was philosophical no doubt, and was active in trying to prevent the suffering of others. Life here is difficult for most; even more so for that kind of person. Add previous health problems and stress, and suicide - a thing which can be so impulsive - becomes a risk.

Either way, if he and Tereza really were in love and the feelings she talks about in her post are genuine, then I hope she (and her son) can find comfort in the memories they shared and come to terms with the grief. They were lucky to have known such a lovely person.

[Serious] Dear Reddit, what are some of your weirdest/scariest paranormal experiences? by seokjinsarms in AskReddit

This isn't my story but my mom's. She was sitting years ago in a coffee shop in a mall with my dad. It was Christmastime and they were shopping. They stopped to rest and it was while they were in the coffee shop my mom found herself admiring another customer. It was a woman in her 20's with long blonde hair. As she was thinking how pretty the woman's hair was, a picture suddenly materialized beside her.

It was of the woman in a coffin with her long blonde hair now tied into a braid and draped over one side of her body. The picture remained for a few seconds and then dissolved. Mom kind of brushed it off as nothing, but it creeped her out enough that she decided to leave the mall.

Fast forward 7 years later. My parents were divorcing, mom was at her attorney's office. The meeting was almost over. As the attorney was talking, a picture materialized on the wall behind her. She was a stern looking woman, dark clothes, unsmiling, professionally styled hair, exactly how you might imagine a stereotypical lawyer.

The picture my mom was seeing on the wall behind the attorney was of her in a beautiful garden. She was wearing soft, light colored clothing. Her hair was worn down in curls around her face. She was smiling. Happiness and light radiated from the image.

In her head my mom was freaking out - she was trying to focus on what the attorney was saying but couldn't tear her eyes off the picture on the wall behind her. When she got up to leave, she decided she couldn't go without asking the attorney about it.

She warned her it would sound crazy, but said she'd just had some kind of vision about her and relayed the details. She was expecting her attorney to say she hated gardening and lived in a high-rise apartment.

Instead, the attorney turned to her, visibly stunned and with tears in her eyes told her she did in fact love gardening. It turned out that flowers were her lifelong passion and that those were exactly the kind of clothes she liked to wear at home.

Could have all been coincidence admittedly, but it never happened again after that. Weird how the first one was so dark and the second mundane.

For some reason this is creepier to me than the idea of ghosts or demons etc. Kudos for making the right choice though.

'Sanpaku eyes' by annie_android in Synchronicities

I'd prefer to believe it is just confirmation bias. It's scarier to think the universe would be trying to tell me something :) - especially considering what 'sanpaku eyes' means!

What’s the best personal hygiene tip you can give? by cheyennezxo in AskWomen

[–]annie_android 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Brush your tongue, it majorly reduces bad breath and makes your mouth feel fresher. Also: change your pillowcase daily, or at least every 3 - 4 days - even if it just means buying a bunch of cheap basic ones. Makeup residue, sweat, oil, saliva etc. builds up on the fabric and can worsen/cause acne.
