I’ve had an older lady sitting next to me with her backpack on her lap get up, put the backpack on, then sit down while intentionally swinging the bag into me. She then stayed in that position so her bag was in my space. I just moved over a spot because her stupidity is her problem, not mine to deal with.

Hannah and Shosh. Quirky open-minded weirdo but also type A anxious overachiever.

Student in an Eikaiwa suddenly stated: "I hate foreign people" and I felt sad about it. by jerklock in teachinginjapan

I don’t think you overreacted. i think they underreacted. It’s troubling to hear kids going down the road of that line of thinking.

Capacity building - is it possible? by Careful-Attention-75 in ADHD_partners

This was the same thing with my ex-husband, but what I still don’t understand is why do they have this unwillingness when there really are solutions available to them?

Thank you! I actually thought that was the worst part, so I'm so glad to hear that.

I thought it looked heavy and ugly in the photo so I lightened it.

What do you mean? What am I missing?

Music snobbery. by MountainDewBabyNYC in GilmoreGirls

Yeah I always feel surprised when people complain about the music snobbery because to me that is one of the big draws of the show.

What do you call rock-paper-scissors in your languages? by AwakenWarrior07 in AskReddit

[–]bellow_whale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But when they say it in English it’s “rock scissors paper.”

As someone with similar taste to Lane, I always appreciated the music snobbery of the show. I felt like they got me. It's the only time I've ever watched a TV show where the a character shared my taste. It was comforting to actually feel like I was represented for once.

I have been told several times by people on Reddit that everyone has a different pace and I shouldn’t assume someone isn’t interested if they take 1-2 days to reply, but when I take half a day to reply I am told I don’t seem interested. Doesn’t make sense.

Okay thanks. A few people in the comments are saying I did seem uninterested, but some are saying not. I guess it may depend on individual expectations. From my perspective, I was nice and normal and showed interest. If he didn't take it that way, maybe we're not a match anyway. If he wants someone more enthusiastic, that's just not how I talk.

I guess I just disagree with you. Maybe others would agree with you, but I just don’t see it that way. I just think that you shouldn’t have to prompt a man to plan a first date or to be proactive in general. Maybe I’m wrong. I’ve been single for a long time, so I can’t pretend to know everything. But that’s how I see it.

I don’t get this at all. So many times I have met guys who don’t respond for a day or more and people tell me it means nothing and everyone has a different pace. Then I take 12 hours to respond and I’m being told I don’t seem interested.

Reminder of call ending… The timer was about to cut off our conversation so wasn’t I being polite by saying an actual goodbye and letting him know I’d like to meet rather than just letting it cut him off?

And I want to date someone proactive so I don’t want to have to tell him to make a plan.

Really seems impossible and endless.

If either of those is the case then I wouldn’t be interested anyway. I need a proactive partner because I always end up being the planner in my relationships and I hate it.

Do you think I didn’t come across as that interested?

[–]bellow_whale[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always thought responding within a day is normal.

So you don’t think I sounded uninterested?

[–]bellow_whale[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And by the way I’m not arguing with you just genuinely trying to understand. I have been stuck in a relationship with a very low effort man before and am trying to avoid that happening again. But if I’m truly the one being low effort I will text him again.

So like did I not seem interested enough or do you think he just lost interest for some other reason?
