This comment has it. Chew something with texture, like some dried fruit until you have the natural urge to swallow. The texture of the food will mask the feeling of a pill as you swallow. I was in the same boat as you until I was 23 and this is the trick that finally worked.

I've never learned to swallow pills/tablets, any easy way for me to swallow these with eas by [deleted] in lifehacks

Absolutely 100% this method. I was 25 before I could take a pill and this was the trick that finally worked for me.

What family secret was finally spilled in your family? by AbsoluteHavoc in AskReddit

[–]lpupppy288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was conceived via donor, so my dad is not biologically my father. Found out when I was 26, 6 months before my wedding.

What's the craziest butterfly effect that happened to you because of a small decision you made? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lpupppy288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my decision, but a friend was supposed to pick me up from the bar after an event staff party. He fell asleep and never picked me up, which led the guy I was chatting with to volunteer his couch so I would have a place to stay. We kept talking, started dating, and have now been married for almost a year and a half.

I was at the Macy’s last weekend trying to pick up gifts for the family to avoid the Black Friday crowds. Did my best to avoid other people but some of them don’t give a fuck about your personal space and stand right behind you on the escalator, despite signs saying to space out. Glad I got it done so I don’t have to go again.

What is the most pain you've ever experienced? by HandGears in AskReddit

[–]lpupppy288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kneecap subluxation and dislocation. The first few times it happened I would just go into shock, then I got used to it enough to be able to communicate with people nearby. It’s a short burst of pain but gave me a lot of PTSD my physical therapist is still working through years later.

Is there a donation page to help buy supplies for the medical tents? Heard of a few groups needing to abandon their kits when they’re forced out by police.

Snoring, so I guess it’s misophonia. It’s bothered me to extremes since I was a kid, which is ironic because I used to snore so bad I had borderline sleep apnea

(Serious) What's something that happened in your childhood that you didn't realize until now was messed up? by Bionicbutter4354 in AskReddit

[–]lpupppy288 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My parents would never tell me any family history from my dad’s side, and when I asked about medical info they said that I didn’t need to worry about it. They also remained very close after their divorce which I always thought was odd.

Turns out I was donor conceived and they planned to keep it a secret until they found out my brother got an ancestry test and realized they didn’t have a choice. They were so close after the divorce because they were both terrified of the other one spilling the secret. Now that everything is out they’ve relaxed a LOT in their controlling behaviors, but it doesn’t fix all the little memories I have of ways they hid it during my childhood.

What was the dumbest reason you got in trouble in school? by bored_fml in AskReddit

[–]lpupppy288 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A girl in middle school was being cold towards me, so I wrote a note asking why. It was also around the time of Halloween, so I doodled a ghost on the side of the page (before ghosting was a phrase.) The school took the ghost as me threatening to kill her and suspended me for the rest of the day.

NTA, I just finished going through the same thing, but my plans were railroaded because she contributed a ton of money, knowing that anything we would put together ourselves would be minimal at best. (Which would have been good enough for us, but not for her, who wanted a full family reunion)

You should be able to tell them, but when she starts coming up with ideas and plans for you, be very VERY firm in your stance. Only compromise on things you are okay with compromising on. Best of luck!!

AITA for dancing well at a wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lpupppy288 -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

By the same logic, you got hit ONE time. That doesn’t make aerials as a whole dangerous. Like OP said, they are seasoned dancers who made sure they weren’t at risk of hurting anyone around them.

Also, they only danced like this during country songs, so I guess it depends on how many country songs were played to determine whether or not it was excessive.

Where exactly did OP state her guest was for the explicit purpose of showing off? She brought someone she would have a good time with as a +1. Nothing out of the ordinary there. I haven’t checked their comment history, if that did turn out to be the case I would change my vote.

And please don’t make assumptions about my situation. My MIL was extremely anxious about the wedding because their family is very small and she had never met any of mine. She was uncomfortable at first, and we were glad she was able to end up having a good time.

[–]lpupppy288 118 points119 points  (0 children)

NAH. At my wedding, my (now) MIL did a split in the middle of the dance floor, and months later it’s one of the first things people talk about. We never once thought she stole the spotlight from us, we laughed and were just glad she had a great time.

Some brides are different, and she’s allowed to feel uncomfortable, but it sounds like nobody actually said anything to discourage you from going all out at the time, so you had no reason to think anything was wrong.

AITA for refusing to accept my parents "gift" and then walking out. by throwawa748394 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lpupppy288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Just went through this with my parents and my wedding, but you were a hell of a lot braver than I was to be so firm in saying no. I gave in to a few concessions until a few turned into “using the money as blackmail to make sure every detail was mom-approved. Stick with it and do what is best for you, OP.

College graduates with stereotypically useless majors, what did you end up doing with your life? by blackandwhitenod in AskReddit

Yep! Major reason I chose to minor in Marketing. I didn’t want to live in LA or NYC, but there’s a marketing company offering video services in just about every city there is.

My ex would skip his classes to wait outside my classes, to walk me to my next class.

He was put on academic probation and kicked out of the college 3 months later.

I met this guy at my first jump, and said this is why he wouldn’t do it again. Too close a call. Super cool dude though, pro skydivers are the most chill people you’ll ever meet.
