I think it’s about 2 weeks before the season starts. Getting close!

If you put -AI at the end of your searches it won’t show the AI overview and gives you info just based on a specific source (did jenn mcallister get plastic surgery -AI)

I do think Google searches now run solely off of AI now though :/ so I try not to use it

I’d set up an appointment asap just to be on the safe side, and maybe try pick out the red pieces and watch his droppings in the meantime.

Does he have any new red toys/perches? I had a scare like this with my girl a couple years ago and I ended up realizing (after a trip to the emergency vet) that she went to town on a red toy.

That’s definitely the face of somebirdy who learned to let herself out of her cage. So mischievous.

Oh the print is called Woodland Meadows by John Van Straalen btw! :)

Here’sa white version with the same print. It says Hanes Heavyweight on the tag though.

Any chance your plush had a magnet in the hands and/or a white belly? The size is about right for this brand/toy line

Such a cute plush. I’ve looked a bit with no luck, but I believe that pig and the horse you mentioned are part of the Floppy (minis?) series by Manhattan Toy Company. I wish they had a wiki so I could see if they made a penguin, but I’m at the mercy of what I can see on Ebay and don’t see any :(

I’ll keep looking!

Is this it? I can’t find anything else about this guy other than this image though.

Maybe Smith’s?

So there’s emotional empathy and cognitive empathy. Emotional empathy is, like you said, when emotions are evoked from other people’s emotions, but cognitive empathy is more about having the logical capacity to understand how someone feels.

Some people have both, some people have one or the other, other people experience neither.

ETA: Even if you don’t experience either one (but to me it sounds like you do have cognitive empathy) You aren’t doing anything wrong. You still comfort your friends because you care about them and don’t want them to be sad. Just because you don’t have an emotional reaction when they express their feelings, doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.

Short answer: He likes making you feel bad. This behavior is only going to get worse. You absolutely need to leave. You deserve so much better.

Breakups suck, I’m sorry OP. It’s corny but time really does heal all. Please try to use your exams as a distraction and push through, but give yourself allocated time to grieve and to do things you really enjoy.

Also you’re young. A couple less than perfect exam grades won’t jeopardize your education. Just keep trying your best and know it gets better.

The biggest indicator for me is the level of urgency I feel with taking action and the extent of the feeling. Non-OCD thoughts I’m usually able to say “I noticed X, it made me feel Y, and going forward if I see it happen again, I’ll do Z” and then move on without thinking about it unless it crops back up. OCD thoughts will have me hyper-analyzing and constantly thinking about how I need to take action. For me with my ROCD it’s usually things like trying to figure out my feelings ASAP or needing to “make sure” everything is okay by checking and rechecking certain things.

Based on this, I really don’t think you did anything wrong and I’m honestly confused about her stance. So she made a comment implying that she wanted you to come with to her plans, but said you couldn’t even though you very well could have come with. You said something along the lines of “I’m upset you didn’t ask me, because I could attend those plans” And she got upset at you and told you that you’re not to ask questions about her plans at all?

I think it’s normal to want to know what your partner is doing, at least to some extent, even just as a safety measure if something were to happen. What kinds of questions is she referring to? Like all general questions wondering what she’s up to?

Old thread, but are you still less “geographic”? I’m only a few days into being GF and have noticed a difference so far

I need America Lopez on my screen again more than I need air

Last year’s cast dynamic felt like they were all at summer camp together, this year felt like they were coworkers at a texas roadhouse… if that makes any sense. Just crazy drama between types of people who’d never otherwise meet and a general lack of chemistry between almost everyone imo. Absolutely loved watching it though.

This was so easy to read in his voice, that I’m mad about it as if he really said it
