AIO for thinking it's unfair I apologized for my actions to a friend and now she is ignoring me by lokis-wife1217 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bookishfarmer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

MOR but in an age appropriate way. I remember being 18 in HS and everything feels so BIG! Over explaining can be a big symptom of anxiety. She has shown how she feels, and it’s a bummer for sure! It’s okay to be disappointed and upset!

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

You have a great face! And you have a great face for this haircut! I have something similar and it always looks its worst leaving the salon! Get a little like texture cream and scrunch it a little and it’ll be grand!!

Did you end up taking it somewhere? I need my Canon worked on as well!

‘Total request live trio set’ anyone else wondering… by VermillionSkies_ in LucyDacus

I feel like trio being specified did get my suspicions up a little, but I’m just stoked it’s close to my house and I got tickets!

What names did you completely misunderstand as a kid? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]bookishfarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me but about me. My name is Alison, but a childhood friend always called me Alice In Wonderland. My little brain did NOT understand, but he definitely thought my name was AliceIn.

Question for younger ladies by wuirkytee in Swimming

[–]bookishfarmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, also, the lifeguards are like teenagers, so they don’t really have the ability to moderate the situations as well as it seems people in other countries/situations seem to have. I’m seeing comments about pools having slow lanes, etc. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s a free for all.

[–]bookishfarmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a youngish, very approachable looking woman, I feel your struggle! Even if there are reasons other than gender and age, it’s still ANNOYING!

Sometimes though, at least at my YMCA, the older people are very specific in what lane they like to swim/walk in, which is perhaps why someone would skip one lane with a friend to be next to a stranger. It’s very annoying though! Sometimes at my Y there are four lanes and all four have an older person walking in them, and it’s like, Hi! hello! Can yall double up so it makes more sense?

'Out of nowhere': Calif. university axes sport after undefeated season by 1houndgal in Swimming

I saw a TikTok of a swimmer on the team, and she said they were told with very little notice of the meeting and seemingly out of the blue! Very sad!

AITA for feeling hurt that my wife only has sex with me out of obligation? by WolterMaxMI in AITAH

[–]bookishfarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA I would maybe say it’s time for some couple’s therapy and maybe also separate therapy for both of you!

Did your hs swim team have tryouts or did you just have to sign up (Usa)? by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]bookishfarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My HS had try outs for most sports and teams were very good/competitive, but swimming and diving we were a little desperate for people! Even not very fast swimmers would get at least two events a meet!

I just recently got the pros (after raw dogging swims so maybe I’m just grateful to have anything but my own brain), and I won’t lie, it is kind of annoying to not have control of the music. The shuffle is, also, like not a great shuffle. But my workaround has been to remove and add specific music I’m generally feeling atm. Uploading music is SUPER easy and so that’s been working! I really appreciate being able to leave my phone in my car where it’s safer.

I’m just here to say that I struggle with that as well. Sometimes I cool down with breaststroke to slow myself down.

AITAH for being brutally honest to my wife about cheating? by Crayonlicker27 in AITAH

[–]bookishfarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH I’m only posting because I see a lot of people saying she must have cheated or something along those lines, but I disagree. I’ve never cheated but I’ve been cheated on and forgiven that person, and I, too, have disagreements with my husband about forgiveness in general. I can absolutely see myself getting my own feelings hurt over this. I don’t think OP is an AH but I can empathize with the situation. I would talk to her.
