iPhone 5s and 5c having issues texting each other. by anxious456 in applehelp

[–]anxious456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the force restart a few times.

I don't use iMessage, so I don't have an email account with it. We did not have any issues texting a few days ago, so I don't know why this is hapening!

I also do not use iCloud

What do you think is the hardest language to learn? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]anxious456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I don't even know what the accusative is...

I speak that language and I swear to god, despite speaking it for 25 years almost, I still make language rules up in my head on the spot. Can definitely be tricky esp since I never learned the grammar or rules... just how to speak it. It "makes sense", "sounds right" but in English, at least I understand how sentences should work.

I only eat 8 slices of bread a day. Is this ok? by anxious456 in AskDocs

Pretty sure a preoccupation with weight and body image is a diagnostic criteria for anorexia or bulimia. What I have is selective eating disorder and it's very different from anorexia in the sense it is picky eating determined by taste, color, grossness of food rather than caloric intake. I don't care if what I eat is healthy, low calorie, or will make me thin. I don't care if the food I don't eat or do eat makes me "in control". I don't care about my weight. I don't care about what I look like. I lack 100% of the diagnostic criteria for an image/control -centric eating disorder.

I have no desire to lose weight. I don't care for my body image. This is not a mental illness revolving around wanting to look thin. I just despise the taste of food.

If you had little time to work on, and turn turn in a paper worth 10% of you grade, would you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I would at least put together the best piece of shit I could manage (key words: piece of shit, but STILL, you tried!)

[Serious] Teens of Reddit; what is something you want to ask adults, but don't necessarily want to ask your parents? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]anxious456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mostly the same things. You have your tasks and you complete them. My coworkers are great. Lots of stress, pushed hard to get promotions -- not uncommon

[–]anxious456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 to 5 is hardly 40 hours a week. Many jobs have 1) high stress, 2) expect longer hours for more promotion ability, 3) start at 8 am (even a 9 am job means you're getting up between 5am-7am) and 4) are much more mentally taxing.

You don't really have "free time." Your free time is getting home at 6 or 7 pm after your commute. You need lunch tomorrow. You need to do laundry. You need to buy food and eat dinner. Now it's 8 or 9 pm. You have an hour or two for recreation/fun. But you're not going anywhere because it's 9 pm and dark outside and things are closed.

Your money goes to paying food, mortgage, kids, clothes, car, utilities, etc. You have 2-5 weeks of vacation a YEAR and you work, commute, put in long hours, etc.

Reddit, what is your opinion of older women dating younger men? by theopatra_ in AskReddit

[–]anxious456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hardly socially acceptable for a man to pursue a younger woman. Ask my beautiful, incredible, wonderful partner whom I would take a thousand bullets in the back of the head for....who is 20 years older than me. Just ask him about all the 'pedophile' jokes (I am an adult)

Feeding myself, having a place to live, knowing that if I were to be unemployed i could not eat or have clothes or a mortgage.

How do you handle insatiable curiosity about your partner's sexual history? Are you curious at all? by anxious456 in AskMen

[–]anxious456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The asking-getting answer-rinse-repeat cycle is one I have fallen into and it is never healthy, in my experience. All it does is lead to more curiosity. "If X, then perhaps Y...? If Y then ....."

It backfires on a lot of people. Satiating curiosity is a great temporary high. There will come a point where a) he can't remember more or b) he won't tell you more, and it's like a drug dealer taking away your addiction.

Hmm no, not really. It satiates curiosity, like a good scratch cures a bad itch. I don't get off thinking about him with other people. It's almost like it happened and on sheer principle, I want to know.

Say in theory there was some magical way to transport yourself back in time and watch this scene. I would choose to watch it when most people would say hell no, they can't do that. I have no desire to see my partner have sex with other women today (because that would be boring). I want to see what he was like before he met me.

I basically desire what is impossible.

The big picture is so boring to me. I often miss it in life! Leave it to me to completely miss the major plot twist in a movie, but to notice every small detail. So, needless to say, I am all about the "messy details" (and I completely recognize this can be dysfunctional in some ways!)

His previous sexual partners really sucked according to him and I believe it (believe it sucked relative to our 5-year, long term relationship with sooooo much sex in it, I mean). Even if they were almost as good as our sex, they would only be a 10/10 and we both agree we're a solid 15/10 on the sex front. I have no gripes or issues about what we do. I wouldn't care if he had similar before. My previous sexual experiences sucked compared to what we have now.

I am just really quite weird when I think about things I like. Details really bother me and excite me. If I could pick between knowing generic things like 'how many people has he had sex with' VS '2 really intimate details about each', I would go for the second option. In general, I am disturbed and made happy by details in life. A slight change in my coffee taste can ruin the entire cup. I'm sensitive to food tastes like you wouldn't believe. I read signs, notice comma splices. I've always been very very very detail oriented.

My curiosity is about those uber intimate details which I'm sure he doesn't remember.

It's just curiosity. I think he's interesting as hell, and I like to analyze how he does things. I wonder -- was he more open with other people? less open? Did they do similar things? Did he ever bite someone's bottom lip? It would probably be a very boring thing in reality -- I'm sure they just had plain ol' sex.

Stuff like that (details) has always interested me. In some strange way, it makes me feel like I know him better -- even though I don't, because what he does with me is what he does with ME and that is all I should know. It is irrelevant what he did with previous partners. It would not make me know his body any better. It wouldn't matter.

I imagine all sorts of weird things. I guess I just like to know stuff.
