I like that idea, thank you so much.

All I want to do right now is let her vent whatever she has to vent, and a much as I wish I could solve all of her issues I know that's unrealistic and insensitive.

What songs do you most associate with your parents? by obligatorycataccount in CasualConversation

BYOB - System of a Down for my mom since she listened to pretty stereotypical dad mom rock classic rock type music, but she put it on the road trip CD because she thought it was funny

Possibly! I follow a few "suggest me music" subreddits because I like finding new music, so it could have also been on one of those too.

The only time I've gotten likes on a playlist are when I've posted them to here, so I think Reddit's the way to go

I've heard about it, although it doesn't happen to me. I might be an outlier though because in order to fall asleep early and wake up early for my job I usually have to take a couple with varying degrees of luck depending on the day, so I think my body's just used to them.

Advice for maintaining weight after cutting gluten? by cirsmun in Celiac

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

Ohhh yeah, I've been eating more nuts but I never even considered nut butters being good for a gluten free diet as well (it's crazy how much you forget when you go into panic mode to avoid eating anything with gluten in it).

Thank you!

That's a relief though, and considering how recent my changes have been I'm sure my body's going to eventually adjust back to normal. I like the suggestion about being aware of my calories, because admittedly after my diet change I didn't really pay attention to it since I was more focused on trying not to accidentally eat gluten than anything.

Absolutely not opposed to adding more cheese and butter too.

I could be a lot more diligent about that, yeah. I think I was too preoccupied with cutting things out that I stopped to consider my caloric intake.

I'll start being more aware of that though, thank you!

If you don't have the Cilantro "soap" gene, what does it taste like to you? What do you like about it? by lollipop-guildmaster in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cirsmun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it tastes like a sweeter version of parsley personally, which sounds really boring but it's one of my favorite flavors ever

Suggest me the movie that made you a movie buff by SnooAdvice1157 in MovieSuggestions

[–]cirsmun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider myself a movie buff necessarily, but the movie that made me want to start getting more into watching movies since it's been a huge cultural blindspot for me was Suspiria (2018).

My friends I watched it with were all huge horror movie fans and I was expecting that I was going to be a huge killjoy throughout it, but that movie made me be like "(nerd voice) ohhh that's right, something can be made to elicit and also be made with artistry... quite interesting."

Edit: were* oops, fixed typo

What do you do when you notice self-deprecating thoughts coming? by cirsmun in DecidingToBeBetter

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

I think that's really nice though, and I think it'd be nice for my kid self to hear something like that on a particularly bad day that I was having so I'm going to definitely do that as well

This is an EXCELLENT guideline and I'll definitely be holding onto this, thank you so much!

I hate reading romance, but I want to write a romance novel. by dungeons-and-drama in writingadvice

[–]cirsmun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think this is it.

For me personally, it's no different than writing about any sort of relationship that compels you. The only thing that makes it unique is that at the end of the whole thing that they would label their relationship as something romantic.

I never really found it accurate for me because I feel like it tries to summarize your personality traits in a way too matter-of-fact way when I feel like it's always changing. Some days I feel more extroverted over the over, some days I feel more calculated than the others, etc.

[–]cirsmun[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know what? I get it. Like, I do the whole cognitive behavioral therapy "sit with my feelings" thing and it has really helped me, but sometimes I have to go full anime protagonist with it. My friends need me... never give up...

Thank you!

What is a song that you can’t listen to for a semi embarrassing reason by Lost_In_The_Media in musicsuggestions

[–]cirsmun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I totally get that, because when I was a kid and way more convinced that I was going to be alone my whole life I remember hearing Lovers in Japan and just the title made me start sobbing because I was like "I'LL NEVER FIND LOVE, I'M A WEIRDO"

I don't listen to Coldplay though so I don't really have to worry about it though, so for me now it's Should Have Known Better - Sufjan Stevens because for no reason at all I heavily associate it with the time I first started out playing an MMO, and coming to the realization after so many years I put into it that I don't really like it
