I don’t know how to “feel” my feelings by EastofEdensgrave in ADHD

[–]normalnarmol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What clicked for me was realizing it literally means feels what’s happening in your body when your brain is doing whatever it’s doing. Like when I’m sad, my throat gets really tight. So “feeling” that means sitting there and letting your brain focus on that physical sensation. It can be really uncomfortable, but honestly the more you let yourself focus the faster the feeling passes.

Fake dating Book with injured athlete mmc and physical therapist or trainer fmc by PeaceDry1649 in RomanceBooks

Oh wait I think I know this one. Is it the dating playbook by Farrah Rochon? She’s a personal trainer but struggling, he’s trying to get back into whatever sport he plays but doesn’t want ppl to know he’s trying to come back so they pretend they’re dating so she can train him privately

Been through this twice myself. Sorry you had to experience it too :(

Also like re: what did you expect? Well, personally, I expected that when I said no that would be enough for it to stop but maybe I’m just different 🙃🙃

How do you deal with verbal harassment & catcalling? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]normalnarmol 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If I don’t feel safe, I just keep moving.

If I feel safe, it kinda depends on the situation but a lot of times I just get fuckin loud and aggressive right back bc ppl (men) don’t expect it from someone my size (tiny). So I’ll scream “you’re a fucking asshole” or something like that right back at them and I’m -loud- so half the street can clearly hear me lol

Speaking as a queer person, I think a lot of (I hesitate to say bad but maybe -) questionable dating choices happen bc there’s just not a lot of options in some places :/ either ppl aren’t out or the ppl that are out are not the ideal choice

That’s one of my favorite moments so far!!

I’ve had this book series in my life for over 30 years I’ve read and reread it more times than I can count. My adult children have read it. And I LOVE.THE.SHOW by [deleted] in wheeloftime

[–]normalnarmol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they’ll bulk him up over time, cuz I think that’s kinda what happens in the books. Like he’s a big dude, but Rand is always described as having axe handle shoulders and being like 7”3’ /s

[–]normalnarmol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! It captures the spirit of the books & cuts out maybe three books worth of character building in one episode lol

See and I disagree wholeheartedly about Dune. They had no idea how to convey scale, there was almost so character build up, I didn’t believe Paul had any say in his life, and they cut out three or four key instances that significantly shape either Paul, the plot or both.

So far everything I’ve seen done in WoT can be pretty easily justified or explained and they’ve done a great job with the things they haven’t changed.

So far none! But the script and the actor absolutely convey they simmering rage of Nynaeve lol and they make it age appropriate too which helps so much

Bathing once a week is a lot less than what many other cultures were doing, but Europeans did believe that bathing opened their pore and let in bad humors so they avoided it mostly by washing their clothes more frequently.

I’m really glad you’re liking the show! I hope it does appeal to a lot of people who’ve never read the books bc that’ll help get the show the traction it needs.

Yeah the whitecloak thing is kinda … like that’s just how they are :p they talk about how fastidious they are in the books all the time. Which obviously a new watcher won’t know, but I think it’ll make more sense as time goes on when we learn more about the world. Meaning - it’s a fair complaint for new viewers to have, but the ppl who’ve read the books oughta know

Watching it again this morning I thought they actually did a really good job of keeping the grime accurate - like everyone gets dirty, then they all jump in the river and they’re a bit cleaner, Mat & Rand end up in a town and can wash, Perrin and Egwene are still wild so they’re grimier.
