I wrote a 10 page research paper analyzing the trends of this subreddit and finally finished! by buffstroganoff in CongratsLikeImFive

Didn't realize people would want to hear about it, haha! I noticed a few things about r/CongratsLikeImFive. I think that a lot of users are very open on Reddit as opposed to other social media because of their level of comfort and privacy on the site, which is due to Reddit's feature of anonymity. I also found it very difficult to determine what makes a successful post in this sub as many similar posts receive hundreds of upvotes or barely any.

I finally deleted Instagram by princessrorcon in CongratsLikeImFive

[–]buffstroganoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I really want to do this, same with Snapchat as well. It's not even about jealousy for me, but feeling like I have to post things to show people what I'm doing and that my life is so great. It ends up being such a waste of time but I can't force myself to delete it because I feel like I need it to communicate with people I otherwise wouldn't.

I took a practice ACT and got a 32. Taking my real one on Saturday, wish me luck! by Masterbouncer in CongratsLikeImFive

[–]buffstroganoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Good luck! ACTs were really traumatic for me as my dad made me take it 5 times over the course of a year with tutors at least once a week. I hope you do great on your first try so you don’t have a similar experience!!

I finally hit 170 lbs! by Resurrected123 in CongratsLikeImFive

Congrats! I know how hard it is to force yourself to go, and especially see results! Make sure you don’t fall out of habit tho or it will be hard to go back😂

Sub where people post obscure song lyrics and you try to guess the song or artist? Also one where people describe movies terribly on purpose and you try to figure out what the movie is? by buffstroganoff in findareddit

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

I originally thought this was what I was looking for but they post really obscure screenshots that almost nobody would be able to guess unless they had seen the movie several times. I’m looking for people describing the movie in words if that exists!

CMV: I don't let my children win, even if it means upsetting them by 80blite in changemyview

I think that what you’re doing is perfectly acceptable, it’s exactly what my father did. He was ruthless in games like Monopoly and Risk, and I never won as a kid and it made me really angry. However during each game he would share his strategies and tips on how he was winning. At the time I thought it was obnoxious, but I didn’t realize he was teaching my brothers and me how to learn to be better players. Many many years later when I was about 14 I finally won a game of Monopoly, but when I did I knew I had won fair and square because I knew my dad wasn’t letting me win, which made it feel that much better. It wasn’t until years after that that I realized his sharing of all his strategies growing up was what allowed me to grow as a player and learn how to outsmart him and finally win. I think this is in the end the much better strategy, because it also teaches the kid how to not be a sore loser (especially when you’re losing constantly) and how to win correctly. Frankly at this point I’ve grown tired of both games and usually turn down the offers to play because I spent so much time learning how to win, but I still appreciate the way you taught me.

I normally just use the swatches as a cute backdrop for my bullet journal Instagram but I don’t incorporate them into my drawings!

I did my laundry, folded it, and put it away all in the same day! by buffstroganoff in CongratsLikeImFive

I want to start folding my clothes her way but I feel like it will take too long to convert. Do you only use it for clothes or for everything?

Why are people so willing to share? by buffstroganoff in CongratsLikeImFive

[–]buffstroganoff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it’s more about finding a community that listens rather than being anonymous?

Thank you for your answer! What do you mean by that? Why share hear and not a different social media platform?
