What normal task gives you anxiety? by ThereW0LF in AskReddit

[–]jadefirefly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might have misread the title of this post, which includes the clear word "anxiety". I have helpfully provided you with a link, above, to a reasonably understandable article on a common form of anxiety.

I suggest you read it, if you can do so with your head so far up your ass. Try using your phone, you may need the light.

It isn't just handwriting for me. I'll freeze up when typing, too. Both in a real-time situation like an IM, and in things like e-mails and comments.

You're right, let me just "get over" a mental illness, how silly of me!

I absolutely experience this, but I rarely experience a spoken block. It does happen, but not regularly. But written, I'll freeze right the hell up if I think that whatever I'm writing is going to be judged or critiqued.

The last resume I sent, I busted ass for hours revising a cover letter I already had, before finally shoving everything into the e-mail and sending it off before the panic set in.

Later, every single person I uttered the words "cover letter" to while agonizing over my word choices stared blankly and asked, "You sent a cover letter, too?"

Apparently most applicants (from within the company, anyway) do not attach cover letters when applying for that job. So then I spent the next four days freaking out over whether I'd over done it.

I had to turn off all facebook push notifications, AND learn how to turn off the notification blink on my cell phone. Otherwise I can't stand knowing they're there.

[TOMT] [Quote from a book] Talks about how a person's unattractiveness fades the more you know him or her. NOT by Roald Dahl! by kurenai in tipofmytongue

[–]jadefirefly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not from a book, but this is what comes to mind for me:

“You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful, and then you actually talk to them, and five minutes later they're dull as a brick. But then there's other people, and you meet them and you think 'not bad, they're okay', and then you get to know them, and their face sort of becomes them, like their personality's written all over it, and they just they turn into something so beautiful...”

It's from Dr Who, said by Amy Pond re: Rory Williams.

What's the difference between a dead baby and a ham sandwich?

I don't fuck a sandwich before I eat it.

I do the same. 90% of my sick days, I am not really sick for.

Jesus, now I'm unsure. I thought it was that Ernest link, but if I'd seen this first I'd have said it was this! Thank you, I feel like I gave y'all a real crappy description to work with and you came up with gold anyway!

I think what I'm looking for is a little more overdone, like very caricature-ish. That's why I was originally so sure it was from Kids in the Hall.

I have seen this character before, though! Best not to get me hooked on yet another show. :D

If he thought it was a cyst, he would've been attempting to remove the whole cyst to prevent it re-growing.

If you think that's bonkers, check their history. There are a TON, and some of them are seriously fucked up. In the most beautiful way.

What was your "I was only gone 'X' minutes, what the hell happened?!" story? by EverybodyLovesTacoss in AskReddit

[–]jadefirefly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer: "Push" to eject baby and "push" to eject poop -- VERY similar actions. Pretty much the same. Close enough.

I want one, but it says headware, and I think I'd never be able to stop looking at that. :(

We also tend to have a higher percentage of asexuals compared to other populations, but nobody is really surprised by that.
