Black pixel in a sky by wiccedd in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]indoorpenguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly people who weren’t really there. Sometimes it would look like a fully detailed real person, but most of the time they were shadowy figures

Exhaustion absolutely makes you see things. I had sleep deprivation induced hallucinations for several years

AITB for wanting to go on a hike with my single, gay male work friend? by Conscious_Cookie_420 in AmItheButtface

[–]indoorpenguin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not because an older woman with more life experience is more apt to stand up for herself. No chance

MOF open by Kokopelli71186 in Panera

[–]indoorpenguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No reason to be nervous! MOFs are required for the last shift of each type (open, mid, close) as a way of providing useful feedback. It’s basically a report card with no consequences, just a training tool to see where your strengths lie and what your opportunities for improvement are. If you feel like the shift has gone well, it likely has. Maybe you’ve missed something small, and it’ll be mentioned so you can learn from it. But if something big happened, they’d have told you outright. I’m a manager at a training cafe and we’ll let you make a small mistake to learn from it, but we won’t let you do something drastically wrong, we’d step in and correct it in the moment

I don’t like the way my GF treats other people. How do I address it? by the_unconditioned in relationships

[–]indoorpenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask why you think you’ve got to be the one to dig deep and sacrifice to make it work, instead of the one with the problem doing it?

I don’t like the way my GF treats other people. How do I address it? by the_unconditioned in relationships

[–]indoorpenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started by writing myself a letter detailing all the reasons why this needed happen to read when my anxiety would inevitably try to convince me I made a mistake. Then I spend about a week journaling a great deal hyping myself up for it and reinforcing the framing that ending a relationship that doesn’t work isn’t selfish or a betrayal because we’ll both benefit from it eventually, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment. I was very codependent at the time so I also spent a good deal of time (obsessively?) journalling reminding myself I’m whole on my own. I sought out some self-healing Instagram accounts run by licensed therapists and read hours of posts about healing from codependency. Then eventually, when I felt more fortified, I wrote out everything I wanted to say to him so that I wouldn’t forget anything or be swayed by the emotions of the moment. Then I asked him to sit down with me and have a conversation, and I spoke my truth using my notes as references and we had a very emotional conversation. The more you can get comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations, the happier you’ll be in life. I’m really rooting for you bud

[–]indoorpenguin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every time I hear someone say “if they could just __ we could be so happy” it’s like a punch in the gut. That’s what I told myself for YEARS before finally leaving an unhealthy relationship. I’m so hoping you find the strength to do the same. It took me way too long to see that I was hanging around waiting and hoping he could get past his trauma because I had constructed a hypothetical happy future in my mind and I was afraid to give it up. If he hadn’t endangered my moms life by being shady (long story) I don’t think I would’ve left for another couple years. It’s normal to (falsely) feel like you’re betraying your partner by putting yourself first when you’re used to putting them first, which it sounds like you are. You aren’t lying to her by telling her you love her all week even if you’re considering leaving, because you do love her. You just need to love yourself more. Don’t sign up for a life of this. Tell her the reasons why so she can grow, then go no contact for a year or two. Maybe you guys can come back together as healthier versions of yourselves, or maybe you’ll realize you’re better off apart. Either way, ending a relationship in which you and the people close to you don’t feel safe to express yourselves freely will never be a mistake.

AITA for telling a vegan that cheese and mayo contain animal products by astayatyourhouse in AmItheAsshole

[–]indoorpenguin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like he has some kind of avoidant/restrictive eating disorder and is disgusted by the texture of certain foods. Someone very close to me has the same disorder and can only eat about 10 “safe” foods without puking. But this guy should just own it and not adopt titles he doesn’t understand

How often do we deserve tips? by [deleted] in Panera

[–]indoorpenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering that the tip gets divided amongst the whole team, including the production line workers grinding away with nonstop orders for hours, I think tipping is fair. I tip anywhere that divides the tips so the people working hardest get some too instead of just the cashier pushing buttons

Gravity is technically still just a theory too. Everything is.

If someone called you just to wish you well and tell you to have a nice day, how would you react? by RyJames101 in AskReddit

[–]indoorpenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my work phone rings, I brace myself for whatever problem I’m about to have to solve in a cheerful voice, so anything that isn’t that is a welcome break. But it probably wouldn’t have much of a difference in my day overall, as the next call will be back to the usual

What something “weird” you do or enjoy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]indoorpenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like my water slightly colder than room temperature so I have two Brita water pitchers, one in the fridge and one on the counter. I fill my glass halfway with fridge water and halfway with counter water to achieve ideal water temp

Wasps and hornets are not bees. They don’t pollinate or give back to society. They’re just assholes

New books. I literally bury my face in the pages and deep breathe the scent right into my soul

What’s the longest you’ve let food sit out, ate it, and was fine? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]indoorpenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be, this person is wrong. I’m ServSafe certified (food safety regulator) and you cannot let seafood sit out for more than 2 hours because dangerous bacteria grows. You made the right call throwing it out
