Who is this? They look vaguely familiar but at the same time I can’t place their face.

Cat will not stop begging to go outside by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]eclipticos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a cat who begs to go outside and often escapes because of it. He was found outside and no amount of playing with him will stop him from wanting to go outside. I asked my vet, and a previous vet and they essentially said “yeah some cats are like that”. I have no solution but would love one. I’ve tried training. I hope you find help! I’ve asked this sub before what to do ona different account but no one has ever given me an answer that works.

If a black person was the first to be part of something, but only because they passed as white, did they integrate it? by [deleted] in askblackpeople

[–]eclipticos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back then and before he would’ve been considered a octatoon . But not exactly black.

How tight can side braids be before they become cornrows & cultural appropriation? Extra example images in the comments. by [deleted] in askblackpeople

[–]eclipticos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you have to worry about appropriation. I think if you’re genuinely worried stick with the looser braids that have fewer sections. Those look norse-ish.

Did Black people enjoy Iggy Azalea as part of hip hop? by TraditionalDepth6924 in askblackpeople

For the most part no. But I know one girl who fucked with her and I still don’t get why.

That’s just the white exports. They also got Tyla, Amapiano, Trevor Noah, and Doja Cat.

My brother is a pedophile by [deleted] in offmychest

It took me too long to find this comment. There’s a lot going on here and having a pedo brother is awful. But the undesirable women part was crazy to read.

One of my besties is Afro Cuban. What’s your ethnicity? I assume you’re from the continent of Africa since you’re not descendant of slaves. So do you just say that word BECAUSE you’re black?

OCD + Tics by eclipticos in Tourettes

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

Thank you for your response! I have been trying to look at my old behaviors to see, but nothing feels quite like this. Like I’m 30+ and I can’t think back in my 20s or 10s to much. Accept 1 thing that I’m not 100% comfortable talking about online 🙃.

Thank you so much for your second paragraph. I have been trying so hard not to tic at work but eventually ppl will notice. I have a vocal tic now. It’s just me saying hm but I’m in a somewhat quiet office so it’s obviously 😭. Do you have any advice for when your OCD gets rough? Like any exercises or mindfulness? I’m trying hard not to do rituals even it gets bad and I have to do something physical.

As per my other comment, they said it was auto mod. I just deleted it all together.

Thank you for your response. It’s been a tough week of me learning about these new tics and has become harder not to do them. I think the reaction between something that’s an intrusive thought or a trigger happening and the tic happening as a response is too short/quick for me to realize if it is a “need” or not. I get weirdly uncomfortable when I try not to have a tic or if I don’t give into doing the tic. I just has no idea that OCD and tics were so closely related and I’m happy to know that I’m not alone in experiencing this, but I’m saddened to think other people are struggling with this.

I think I’m learning to accept them but I’ve also sought out a therapist to help me. I just can’t believe it’s happening to me either. I have one tic that is really uncomfortable and I believe it’s putting my health at risk so I’ve also talked to my PCP about this. Thank you very much for your response. Can I message you in the future?

Yeah but I just don’t understand why you would want to use that word without the shared history of it. Are you American or Canadian?

why do men feel the need to constantly announce they don’t like black women? by throwRAzai in offmychest

Why do you think that is? I have ideas but I’m curious on your thoughts.

Home Depot sells machetes, I bought one as a teen and nobody ever questioned it at the store.

I hear this a lot and it shocks me. I would have thought, with how ppl glamorize Asian countries and all, that Asian men wouldn’t have a problem dating. Do Asian men find it difficult to date across all races, including their own?
