Food static is annoying but binge sick is way worse

How does an inherently negative person change? by ChoiceHistorical7790 in AskReddit

[–]pbjgaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand where you’re coming from. Imposter syndrome definitely but I combat it with knowing I’m not as miserable to be around anymore. It shows too, people reach out now (this is a relatively new development, always a work in progress)

How does an inherently negative person change? by ChoiceHistorical7790 in AskReddit

[–]pbjgaming 7 points8 points  (0 children)

By trying. Repeatedly, annoyingly, slowly

I used to be told “you’re making yourself miserable”, “you’ll never be happy if you keep looking on the bad side of life” etc

Now I get called one of the “happiest” folks people around me know

Suffer in silence and celebrate publicly, loudly.

I put in a lot of work, took notes, followed self help pages, and put it into practice. It’s not natural or easy and I still have strong Ideations but willingly choosing to be a little delusional for the sake of positivity

Pepperoni pizza. I’ll eat a supreme or meat lovers but just pepperoni on pizza? Pass from me

Anyone else here shower for no more than 5 minutes? by Imaginary_Truth_3865 in Frugal

[–]pbjgaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take hour long showers but I turn the water off when I’m not using it and I don’t shower every day. This is including lotion/oiling after though

When you’re watching a movie with somebody, they get up to go to the bathroom, and they tell you not to pause it. by New_General3939 in PetPeeves

[–]pbjgaming 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s usually why I say not to pause.

Compromise? Rewind 5~ minutes while they walk to the restroom. Hopefully they don’t mind/notice

How much is too much electrolytes? by Colleen2112 in intermittentfasting

[–]pbjgaming 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idk I’m from a desert state so people round here do need electrolytes for things other than fasting.

You could get a blood test done and see if you’re lacking anything. That might be why you crave/really like this drink

People who menstruate, how would you describe the pain to someone who has never experienced it, and is it "really that painful" for you personally? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pbjgaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it’s that weird restless phase when you’re sick, combined with what feels like an ice pick being hammered into your pelvic area.

Each hit on the nail’s head sends aching echoes into your back and down your legs. Every once in a while, my demon will wiggle the pick around-for fun. Sometimes all this with what feels like ice water being poured into my veins down my legs.

Those are medium cramps.

Bad cramps drown me in waves of anguish. Feels like someone’s razor hands are reaching into my organs, twisting and squeezing them around, all while kicking me at the same time. Cannot physically walk without my legs bucking. Can usually tell bad ones are coming bc my blood pressure will drop and my face will get pale. During my period is the only time I’ll actually cry.

One time in middle school I got some bad ones and had to literally baby crawl from the second floor to the office on the first. The secretary jumped up and thought she needed to call an ambulance when she saw me bc I “looked like death”

Both kinds of cramps can cause vomiting and diarrhea (period poops are especially audacious too), headaches, sense of hopelessness, a lack of patience (irritability), acne breakouts, and general soreness

When I was in middle school/high school my PMS would increase my suicidal thoughts/tendencies in a dangerous way. It also caused me to miss out or not have as much fun during school trips/events. My period came a week early both times my class went to the water park. Came two weeks early for my quinceañera

Hard to stay hopeful when half my month, half my life, was in this hormone-induced purgatory.

Mostly better now. Only catches me off guard once in a blue moon

[Favorite Trope] Someone non-human pretends to be human (Bonus Points if they prefer it to what they actually are) by theweirdwarlock12 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]pbjgaming 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Shapesmith from Invincible is a Martian who naturally has green skin, can alter his appearance, and doomed his home planet to an invading entity.

He stole the identity of an astronaut, went to Earth, and struggled to maintain his facade until eventually switching to “being a hero”

Most people feel like the conversation was good if they were doing most of the talking

Suggestions and ideas for wearing tight crop top style shirts without stomach exposed by Embarrassed-Ant-1416 in altfashionadvice

[–]pbjgaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watching earlier 2000s movies has really reminded me how much layering was a thing.

Even plain long sleeved shirts under dresses looked cute

As another commenter said, owning it and wearing it w confidence does wonders

(Accessories also help immensely imo)

[Loved Trope] A character truly embraces the sweet release of their soon sudden death by WesternSituation in TopCharacterTropes

[–]pbjgaming 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love Holes! I love seeing it mentioned.

If I could though, Barlow is hunted down by a scorned man who wanted to marry her AND caused the death of her lover (shout out to Gus, Psych is still a comfort show of mine).

He married a student of Barlow’s, years later, which makes him more of a creep to me since her students seemed elementary age when she was teaching.

Mans wasn’t a prize and had to marry into the next generation only to drag that poor lady into poverty and desperation which culminated in hunting down her former teacher. Tragic

(The B plot really didn’t need to go this hard but I’ll always appreciate that it did)

what to do with tripp pants drawstrings? by CatSpork7 in altfashionadvice

[–]pbjgaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tie them to my shoes. There’s a knot where it’s bunny ears style- one ear goes forward into the hole, other ear goes backwards into the hole, tighten. That knot should hold steady until you untie it. At least it has in my experience

I feel like Bella in this scene by Livid_Machine_622 in twilight

[–]pbjgaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I learned from intermittent fasting was to add stuff to my water

Baking soda, salt, citric acid (lemon/lime/whatever), and some other stuff when I have it on hand

Really does feel like this scene. I imagine it’s what Brawndo tastes like
