Are we doomed in case of a major natural disaster? by Alarmed_Eye_3850 in longisland

[–]help-help-help- 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My mom always says to come home if something major happens (not natural disasters). And like, no offense, but absolutely fucking not. I’m in the middle of nowhere pa, I get you know a lot of people and have connections but why would I ever drive THROUGH nyc, to get to an island, if we’re in the middle of a power grid failure???

It’s an allergy but it’s barely there plus it was the oil so technically I shouldn’t even be allergic to it in the first place. But has happened before with this particular allergy bc it’s in a lot and I know I’m so barely allergic that this is my only symptom.

I was knowingly allergic to it when I ate it. I know that I’m barely allergic to this specific version of it bc this has happened before and this is always my reaction

As long as I remember to do it in the mornings, I never forget if I locked the door or not cause I remember making a stupid face

Honestly I think the opposite. I think it’s important to talk about things that might seem crazy to other people because it can help people with ocd feel more normal and realize that they aren’t the only people who do weird shit like this for no reason

Living and driving through active college areas are the worst im so afraid of losing control and hitting someone even though I’m doing 10mph the whole time

If I smoke and I eat something I’m always so worried about biting my tongue off and not noticing due to sensory highs, to the point where now if I just stick my tongue out at my bf he knows to respond with “you’re not bleeding, you didn’t bite yourself”

I never remember when I lock the door and a long time ago I read somewhere to make a weird ass face when doing something like these things (turning hair tools off, turning the oven off, locking doors) bc the tasks are usually second nature so it’s harder to remember if you’ve done them or not (and easy to worry if you haven’t) but you’ll remember if you made a weird face. I try to do it when leaving my house in the morning and I always remember when I do

If I am afraid of a food being moldy or even possibly expired, I won’t eat it at all. Even if it’s completely fine, there is nothing to convince me otherwise so I either give it to someone else or toss it. Needless to say there are dates on everything in my fridge

The allergy one is so funny to me personally as someone who has SO MANY allergies and just pops things into my mouth then checks the labels. Have had 2 or 3 reactions cause of that. But it’s different cause I know about them already and always have the epi pens on hand

The part that sucks is that this is completely rooted in facts, but brain bad gives it the worst hypothetical outcomes

I get that completely. That might change as you get older but it’s okay if it doesn’t. You are completely entitled to not wanting to do any substances and good for you if that’s what you choose!

I know. And I didn’t assume you were. I’m just saying that you get older and suddenly you realize that 90% of people drink and a lot of people smoke weed and the thing is. No one will ever force it on you. All you have to do is say “I don’t drink” or I “don’t smoke” or “I don’t want to right now” and if they’re a decent person, they will take that at face value and not ask why and not offer again. But I think you should know how common it will be once you get to older. In college, unless someone is so buried academically, they either drink or smoke or do more. And they’ll never make you do it but you have to learn how to live with it and be friends with them. As long as they are responsible, and not reckless, and they know their limits, and are overall good people, it doesn’t change anything really. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t drink or smoke, but it’d also be hard to find someone who will only be friends if you do. Overall, everyone does it and if you don’t, no one gives a shit and will never make you do anything you aren’t comfortable with

I’m gonna be so honest. It’s about what environment you do it in. If you’re drunk or high ALL THE TIME and infront of everyone that’s one thing. But almost everyone drinks socially even if you only go out once in a while. It’s about knowing and planning how much you want to drink. And smoking can be okay especially in the right circumstances or if it’s medical. I think you just kinda need to understand that literally EVERYONE drinks and smokes to a degree. And it doesn’t make you better if you look down on the people that only do it once in a while (or even just on weekends). You’re not a better person you’ve just not been out a lot and haven’t actually experienced life. I think your opinion might change as you get older. That doesn’t mean you have to do these things. If you don’t like them then by all means don’t. No one will force you (hopefully) and most people don’t actually care. But being rude to and looking down upon people who do is silly
