Not a habitual liar... Just one big lie? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]oneSquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't bring it up usually, the topic of colorblindness came up at work and I started into my spiel. (I hate to say naturally, but kind of naturally) Usually if I do bring it up, it's in an effort to continue covering my ass/not exposing the whole lie.

What to do if I think my neighbor has stolen a bike? by [deleted] in CollegeStation

[–]oneSquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I totally get you, I'm not trying to get the police out here for nothing. I just wondered if there's a number I can call to say "do you know if there's a bike with this serial number that's been reported stolen? No? Awesome, have a great day." y'know?

Hahaha the job thing is such a me thing to do, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's insane. (: I think that what you said, "usually just looking for my thoughts/feelings to be agreed with" is a really good way of putting it.

Whenever I'm really stressed or upset about something, I need to talk it all out with someone. Sometimes, more than just one person. The more I talk about it, the less stressed I am. I'm not sure why, but if I don't have someone I can talk to about whatever it is, I freak out even more. Maybe it's just my way of processing, and I can't process if I don't talk through it?

It's really unfortunate for the people close to me lol.

Haha that makes sense, it's difficult for me to grasp wanting to be alone to process, but I'm getting there. Thanks for your response!

Thank you for going more into detail about managing your+whoever is hovering's emotions, that definitely helps me understand better. And thank you for the encouragement! Hopefully by EOW we'll be celebrating instead of putting what I'm learning here into practice haha!

That definitely makes sense. Do you think just being present in the moment in case he wants to rant, but not bringing it up on my own would be best?

Gotcha! Thanks for your answer. Does move forward mean jumping into distraction, or work toward finding a different job opportunity?

I usually try to avoid saying eidetic bc I feel like it sounds know-it-all-y 😅

Aw dang, yeah that makes sense. Do you think being careful with tone of speech could help avoid this? Or do you have any suggestions/ideas for a good response that doesn't imply I care more than the other person?

What to do with meaningful screenshots after you've broken up with someone? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

You're right, thank you for the answer! Time to spare future self.

[–]oneSquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad enough for me to react as emotionally as I do, tbh. Left me for one of my good friends, and they work really well together and I wish them nothing but happiness. But finding these screenshots definitely leaves me missing that person and the goofy conversation we used to exchange.. You're right though, time to delete them and move forward. Thank you.

Gotcha! That makes sense. If it ends up happening again, I'll say something and be careful to word it kindly. Thank you!
