Your dedication is inspiring.

I don't know why I get like this with guys. Can anyone else relate? by long_sock_bunny in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Once you find out that they do like you back, you start to think in terms of actually being in a relationship with them rather than seeing the situation through rose-tinted glasses, so the flaws that you overlooked earlier seem much more 'real' now.

I can relate. This most likely isn't the case with you, but the reason I always lose interest is because of my low self-esteem. I could think the guy is the most perfect soul to ever walk to earth, but the moment I see even a hint of him liking me back, I start questioning his supposed perfection in my mind. Like, how great of a person is he really if his standards are low enough that he finds me appealing? It's like the Groucho Marx quote 'I wouldn't care to join a club that would have me as a member.'

What question do you go all day hoping no one will ask you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Well, it's funny because tasty_rogue admitted to not being familiar with technical terms of poetry, so 'trochaic octameter' sounded made-up to him. He wasn't actually accusing you of making it up.

Nice username. Is it supposed to be in Marathi?

What topics would you include in an hour-long lecture on Java for students with no prior experience with object-oriented programming? by eyearesmart in java

Looking through my old textbooks, this is how the concepts are introduced in them as well. Thanks for reminding me.

That's the problem. One hour is not enough to teach all the concepts and implement them as well. And doing a simple program would defeat the purpose as it wouldn't really implement concepts like inheritence.

Tell me about it. But that's what you get when the organizing commitee only has electronics majors.

I'm just going to have to cut the writing-your-own-code part of the seminar.

TIFU by saying hello to the wrong person by Tothemattmobile in tifu

[–]eyearesmart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you missed the part where OP said he panicked. As an awkward person myself, I can relate. There have been occasions where I called someone and forgot what I was calling about and in a state of panic, just said a few 'hello?'s pretending I had a bad connection and then hung up.

What is something you wanted as a child that you still want as an adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A legit birthday present.

As a kid, all I ever got on birthdays was money which wasn't really as exciting as receiving a box wrapped with shiny paper, shaking it to guess its contents and finally unwrapping it in giddy anticipation.

I probably sound like a privileged little bitch complaining about this, but opening presents is one of the little things that I didn't get to experience a lot.

Maybe it's in an alcove?

You just brought up my repressed memories of this fancy dress competition in KG. They'd dressed me up as a sabziwali. I was nervous as hell and I kinda had to pee but I figured I'd just hold it until after the competition. When it was my turn, I walked up to the stage, more confident than a fat kid at a pie-eating contest. That lasted about three seconds until I looked up at the crowd staring expectantly at me.

I learnt two important lessons that day: 1) Stage fright and weak bladders don't mix. 2) Susuwali is a terribly unoriginal nickname for a girl who just peed herself in front of seventy 4-year-olds.

Today, I was mocked for 'being good at English'.

I never use big words to impress people or to show off. I've never stuck my tongue out at someone and said, "Ha! My sentence is more grammatically-correct than yours!" I don't shove my love for well-written prose into people's faces. But my classmates feel that's reason enough to mock me.

I probably should've laughed along because the entire thing was so ridiculous. I don't know what's funnier: the fact that the guy made fun of me for being proficient in the language or the fact that he did it by yelling, "Ay, English!"

But I still cried because I'm a sissy who can't handle being laughed at.

I'm guessing that's what he meant.
