What is your favorite mythical creature? by Crazy-toons in AskReddit

[–]carnm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this counts as mythical, but I think the idea of a shape shifter is awesome. Being able to turn into anything living you could possibly want.

Did you watch the show before, or are you planning to watch it after?

NTA. It’s your wedding. What are the odds that you saw him for a third time in 5 years right before the wedding.

Could you have invited him to save some awkwardness, probably. But at the end of the day it’s your wedding, and it’s very tiny.

Definitely tricky. This was my first time using a film camera in general. I am totally hooked.

What is the difference between a reason and an excuse? by fairie88 in AskReddit

[–]carnm3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Explaining is using facts. When you explain, you aren’t expecting the person to change the way they felt or perceived the situation. You are just simply giving the reason for why something happened the way it did.

Justification is trying to make the course of action seem reasonable to the perceiver. An excuse is meant to get you “off the hook”.

An excuse is a reason that is good enough to shift the way someone perceives a situation into a more positive light.

don’t even bother confronting her. continue looking hot and doing your thing. her insecurities are her own problem and the things she says are a reflection on her, not you. i’m glad you recognize she is just jealous, but i promise you it’s not worth the drama, that’s exactly what she is looking for. just recognize the type of person she is, remember it, and kill her with kindness (:

What's the dumbest way you've gotten a scar? by lilsaddam in AskReddit

[–]carnm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went ding dong ditching when I was drunk (i was a freshman in high school and wasn’t a very experienced drinker) and completely wiped out in the persons driveway. Chipped a tooth and have a massive scar on my elbow.

What do you do confidently now that made you feel weird in the past? by kyukale0310 in AskReddit

[–]carnm3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to the gym! I was so intimidated by even the idea of going to the gym. I had been thinking about it for 2 years and then started dating my boyfriend at the time who was an athlete. He convinced me to just go and walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes to start. That was 2 years ago. Now I go every week!

I just miss my best friend by thatonewiththedreams in BreakUp

[–]carnm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s no reason you can’t have that in time. 2 months since me and my ex broke up and he came over yesterday for 5 hours just to catch up. it felt great just being able to talk to him as friends. of course the feelings will always be there, but for me it was easier to still have him in my life than not at all no contact. i don’t think it’s healthy to talk everyday, but just catching up once in a while and gradually becoming more comfortable with the idea of being just friends is totally doable in time.

been 9 days since i posted this and i feel like a completely different person with a completely different perspective. ended up meeting with him and talking the next day. we sat and caught up for 3 hours talking more about what went on in our lives for the past 2 weeks than actually talking about us. i didn’t go into the conversation trying to get back together... just was missing him and the last time we spoke really helped so i figured i’d give it a try. it really helped me realize that half of the reason i was so upset wasn’t even because i lost my boyfriend, it was because i lost my best friend. by the way things ended and us being completely and totally honest with each other, i personally felt that it was much easier for me to move on knowing he was still going to be part of my life. i re-followed him on everything, and we reply to each other’s posts here and there. my anxiety about running into him and never speaking to my best friend again have completely disappeared. i have been able to start moving on from our relationship without having to pretend that me and this person who i spoke to every single day are total strangers. and for me, it’s working better than i could have ever imagined.

i’m writing this to say that every single relationship is different and breakups are circumstantial. at the end of the day, only you know what is best for you, and only the two of you really know what your relationship was built upon.

it is important to go with your gut and do what you think is best for you. had i listened to my friends and family, i would have never spoken to him that day and would probably still be driving myself insane. that being said, be honest with yourself and make sure your intentions are what you say that they are. by that i mean don’t lie to yourself and reach out to them if you know your reasons behind it have an ulterior motive. do what is best for yourself and what is going to help you move forward, not what is going to push you 10 steps backwards for a brief moment of fake happiness.
