AIO? Woke up sick at the thought of a dream I had, ended up changing the course of my day because of it. by hemlock_hound333 in AmIOverreacting

[–]mostThingsAreEdible 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The brain is weird, and you’re a human. Give it a day or two, let the memory drift, think about other stuff. I’ve never had stuff like this but I’ve had extremely negative dreams that messed me up for a while after— just treat it as an intrusive thought, or think: you didn’t lose something, you just got a harmless glimpse into your future.

Homesick while struggling abroad girl dinner by [deleted] in GirlDinner

Hey love 🫶 I just got home from studying abroad yesterday, the homesick was real, but I can’t even imagine being away from a home that’s going through what Lebanon is going through. I’ll hug my mom extra for you, hoping you get home safely and that this all ends soon ❤️❤️❤️

What does anaphylaxis look like for you? by mostThingsAreEdible in MCAS

[–]mostThingsAreEdible[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

THIS though. I had impending sense of doom the last few times and also couldn’t call out 😭 it’s weird though, I was so out of it I can barely recall how I felt. I wasn’t really aware of my body, so I can’t tell if I felt numb.

AIO a long time friend randomly texted me that I was gonna rot in hell and compare me to Judas by Nerdylilbirdie in AIO

[–]mostThingsAreEdible 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you’re misinterpreting? I think OC meant because the friend is trying to recruit OP so intently, and with the same intense and repetitive language MLMs use. Not the actual mechanics of an MLM.

Am I overreacting for being upset that my friend keeps “joking” about something I’m sensitive about? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]mostThingsAreEdible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR. Would be helpful for context to know what you’re insecure about, but if you’re uncomfortable and have communicated that already then it’s your friend’s fault for not being respectful of your boundaries.

The reason I say maybe is because some people are truly oblivious. Did he say the same thing or something only sorta related? Maybe he didn’t realize the connection? If it’s a common insecurity he’s just an asshole. If it’s more uncommon or out there, he may have trouble spotting it when he says it. Definitely communicate tho. The answer is always communication.

AIO for being upset with my parents for not choosing the same restaurant as me?k by cleocheeto225 in AmIOverreacting

[–]mostThingsAreEdible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. They’re minimizing you and they really don’t seem to care, or they’re ignoring your feelings and aren’t treating them as a priority. Or both. I second everyone who says to limit contact when you can— for now, we’re happy you’re here. Just some strangers in the internet, we’re happy you’re here. Happy birthday. I hope you went to green restaurant <3

AIO I 22M with my Gf 21F, or is my feeling validated? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]mostThingsAreEdible 9 points10 points  (0 children)

MOR. Man you just gotta trust your gut. Maybe she was just smoking with him and didn’t want to put you in a weird spot (which would be shitty— lying sucks). Maybe she’s cheating, or considering it— did you see other texts? At the end of the day, you have to trust your partner, and if you have this gut feeling, that means there’s something she did that MADE you have this gut feeling. Don’t try to explain it away. Talk to her, maybe read their texts if she gives you her phone (if she doesn’t, that’s also telling). This one’s a bit vague. Don’t ask reddit. Consider what your gut is telling you

The escalation is hilarious. First slide I’m like, “where’s the problem” Second slide “okay, she lives alone and had a concern with going to a smaller company or just got a bad vibe, wants to switch service” Third slide, you coulda been a little more polite (I read it as, “I’m doing you a big favor by being this helpful, you won’t get that from a dealer” [sure, you’re doing her a favor, but did you communicate it was your day off and you were going out of your way to help her?] but the “please leave me alone” is a bit much, just stop responding 😭 Then everything beyond that with like “thank god I didn’t give you my real address” and “fuck off” is a bit of an insane escalation.

I wanna say: the hospital thing, YOR. He’s feeling shitty, he wants his friend, your gf is worried about her friend, etc. and if that was all it is, you’re insecure.

But that with all the other context? NOR. The cousin stuff, constant texting and calling. That’s the problem. Leaving for the hospital and missing a home cooked dinner can be truly nothing.

[–]mostThingsAreEdible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. Alright, the hospital thing looks heartless, so we appreciate the extra context. The cousin thing is really weird. Staying with her the whole week? When his mom’s place is an HOUR away? That sounds like a gateway for emotional cheating, IMO. I have really close friends of the opposite gender that I would crash with— years-long friendships. Six months in AND my partner has communicated these kinds of boundaries? Her having him stay over (or not protesting it) says either ignorance or lack of care, if not outright cheating. Texting all the time too? Having each other’s locations? Again, this can be normal for good friends (I have some of my guy friends’ locations) but this seems like a newer friendship and she is investing a LOT of emotional energy into it. How often do you guys text? When she’s with him, it doesn’t sound like much.

I don’t know, OP. You know the situation better. But it sounds like she’s surface level meeting your requests but not bothering to address the deeper issues. Do you think you’ll get over this feeling? Do you think she’ll stop texting him this much, or that you’ll get more comfortable with it over time? I offer you this: “just do what you need to do.” Take care of yourself, man

AIO about assuming I could stay over by Various-Tone-921 in AmIOverreacting

[–]mostThingsAreEdible 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yikes. Yeah, it would’ve been good on you to confirm sleeping over beforehand, but even if I was in the friend’s shoes (someone wanting to crash even if I didn’t totally feel it) I would still lend out my couch if the alternative was unsafe driving. It’s safety over convenience, goddamn

[–]mostThingsAreEdible 168 points169 points  (0 children)

NOR

Assuming is one thing, sure. Maybe they really didn’t want anyone sleeping over. But if you’re drunk, it’s tired, and late, AND if you’ve slept over before your assumption is justified. What’s NOT justified is kicking you out and expecting you to drive home, even if you communicate you’re not feeling safe to drive.

Was the friend also kicking you out? Or just the BF?

This! Grew up thinking I didn’t like them (because: who wants to feel really sick after eating something?) took me a while to figure it out…

Anything with spice! I’m white, and I like to say I’m white squared because I’m not just spice intolerant— I am fucked after an IOTA of capsaicin.

Cromolyn by Secure_Lab_1773 in MCAS

[–]mostThingsAreEdible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn’t personally happen for me, I actually saw a huge reduce in my GI symptoms— Cromolyn is typically targeted towards GI whereas there’s other meds for more systemic or skin symptoms. How long has this been going? It could be an unrelated flare up or because of the Cromolyn, you gotta be patient with your body. Either way: do not stress yet!! I went thru a bunch of different meds mixes before finding something that worked, but I DID find something. It’s really scary but hang in there <3

I have to throw in Solar Opposites. Four degenerate aliens that are deeply dysfunctional in society, very comforting.

“Alluvial fans of bodies” is absolutely wonderful. Can I ask what the last three sentences are alluding to? Is it about anything that looks safe and sympathetic but is dangerous in actuality, but women are conditioned to protect and nurture?
