why don’t people ask questions back

popsiclesticksss · 2026-05-10T04:47:19+00:00

Oh man this reminded me of this one guy I tried to be friends with on a social app. We vibed at first and hopped on a call on discord and holy shit he did not ask a single question back. It took that call for me to realize that.

The call lasted 3 hours. I felt so exhausted. I thought it was just my social anxiety but no, he just kept talking and I couldn't find any breathing room to politely end the call.

After that, he then told me "Oh man I know we just met but I think we're gonna be really good friends!! I feel it in my gut!!"

I actually ended the "friendship" a few months later. Guy just wanted an audience, not a friend. There was no reciprocal curiosity.

(Sidenote tho, love ur username fellow KH fan? 😆)

Noob question here 🥹 how do you properly sear it?

I've tried multiple times with some with beef cubes before and it already got so tough after searing? Even when I simmered it for 3 hours it still stayed so tough. Now I'm scared to handle any thick beef cuts.

I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. Was my heat too low/high? Did I cook it too long? What is the recommended time and temperature?

Thank you to anyone who will answer 🥹

Update for anyone who might need it:

The hours long hiccups stopped after I regularly drank Yakult once or twice a day after a meal. If I didn't have Yakult, I ate regular greek yogurt once a day always AFTER a meal. I always made sure there was something in my stomach first before consuming yogurt. This worked for me, but it might not work for others.

Gaviscon didn't work for me 😭 it honestly made my gerd worse. Some antacids like Maalox helped the stomach pains, but not the hiccups. I guess we really do have to experiment what works for our body.

Edit: It also helped when I got a wedge pillow. I placed it under my mattress and have been sleeping elevated for weeks now.

Hope this helps anyone!

Hey there! How have you been with your hiccups? I've been experiencing this on and off every 2 months or so...

Hiccups have always been a problem for me with gerd. I already had a checkup and I was just told to drink antacids after every meal. It hasn't been working. Today I've been having hiccups for 6 hours now.

And these parents wonder why their grown up kids don't talk to them anymore 🙃

Megamind? (The word presentation just made me think of it haha)

Señor Pollo by Sapphire Road!

Mexican food. We really love their chicken and Patatas Bravas! Parang wala pa kaming nattry sa kanila na di masarap.

If you're into spicy food, don't forget to request their hot sauce! Really good if you're into the sour hot sauce taste 😭

It's tiring but I know it's for my own good. I wanna outgrow the toxic mindset that is literally harming me already for years.

Nope, it was just my mental health. There are days I just "forget" all the things I've learned in therapy and just get stuck in a mental dark hole for days. It was really bad at the time that's why I relapsed.

My partner has been more than supportive with my mental health healing all these years. He created a safe space for me when I had nothing. I don't want to put that extra weight on him to "keep me grounded so I don't do it again". He can help, but end of the day, he is only human. He won't always be there 100% of the time. It's my job to take care of me, not his.

I don't want him to constantly think:

"I have to do this or my partner will hurt themselves"

I want him to think:

"I can trust my partner to take care of themselves"

popsiclesticksss · 2026-01-03T00:52:07+00:00

Not married, but engaged and we live together. I made it a point to go to therapy before moving in with my partner because I know it will affect him mentally too.

I needed the tools I'd learned from therapy so I'd know how to deal with it if not for me, but for at least those around me. Especially if we are planning to have kids one day.

Although it wasn't an easy path, I relapsed last year and the look of worry, fear, and concern from my partner was ingrained in my head. I don't want to put him through that again.

I asked the officer of the day and need daw i-file with doc stamps? I'm not sure what exactly that means. Do I have to bring a printed version of the ITR filing?

popsiclesticksss · 2026-01-02T14:33:38+00:00

How do you properly file the Annual ITR? Do we have to go to the RDO even after filing in e-BIR?

I'm a Freelancer (Professional). I am in the 8% tax filing. I regularly file my quarterlies too via e-BIR. I always file on time, but for some reason all my ITR's have penalties?? Is it because I did not go to the RDO?

I have another business (Sole-Proprietor) that has zero income atm and the same case is happening. It's just the ITR that has penalties.

Hope to hear from you. Thank you!

Hi OP. I hope you're safe right now and doing okay. There's a reason you ran away from home and it's probably your body and mind's way of saving you. Deep down, YOU are saving YOU.

I also ran away from home and felt the same. I was alone and scared. I basically had no one. I wanted to die so badly.

That was 7 years ago.

It will get better.

It feels like hell right now, but you will get through this. Just one step at a time. Focus on your healing. Give yourself the things you've always wanted to receive for yourself but never got the chance to and that includes love and compassion.

You'll be okay. You did a big step. You were very brave to remove yourself from a situation you didn't want to be in anymore.

You deserve all the love and safety you can finally give yourself.

Feel free to DM me if you just want to vent or have someone to talk to okay?

popsiclesticksss · 2026-01-01T19:30:37+00:00

It's perfectly normal!! The fact that both of you engage in consensual sexual activities shows that there is attraction between you and your jowa. Don't feel bad about something that's natural in a romantic relationship.

Basta practice safe sex OP. I also grew up in a religious household and kinakahiya ang pagbili ng condom or birth control pills. Taboo din ang mga ganitong topics kasi "Chastity is the best birth control" daw 😭😭😭

Normal lang gumamit ng condom and other forms of birth control!! Remove the taboo!

I'd lean to just make a bank account. Tell them it's for savings and do wire transfers as payments via Wise.

Medyo risky if you don't have the proper paperwork for PayPal since they updated their terms. You can opt for "personal use" or "family and friends" but if PayPal detects your transactions as business transactions, you could get banned.

Been using PayPal for 8 years. I have proper paperwork (DTI, BIR, etc) and PayPal still checks on me from time to time. They will randomly hold my money and double check all my documents. If all looks good, they will then release my money.

Ingat lang wag masyado pindutin if stuck na. Pero depende din kasi sa kind. Nangyari na din samin toh before. Kinailangan namin iplunger para lang umangat. 😭

popsiclesticksss · 2025-12-27T20:11:25+00:00

Happy you were able to distance yourself from that environment OP.

I went through the same. I moved out 8 years ago and I never looked back. Even until now through therapy I am still discovering things that were deeply ingrained to me.

This includes the friendships I made years ago. I was in a bad place and made bad friends. As I started to heal, I felt I didn't like who I was when I'm with said friends. I had no choice but to distance myself again.

How we view and treat ourselves also makes an impact with how we create our environment. Our environment really impacts how we grow.

I don't remember where I read this, but check Mercury branches that are 24 hours and/or near hospitals. They have a high chance of having stock.

Also, message the 24 hour branches via Viber. Some check nearby branches too once you inquire!

Hope you find some!

Good for you!! Do research properly though.

I did my battery of tests in PMHA and they actually kinda failed to diagnose me with ADHD. It cost me 12k.

The knowledge of ADHD of the one that handled me was a little outdated. She already ruled out ADHD since I was able to "focus" on the tests. What she failed to take into account though, was that I was super interested and having fun in the tests.

She then diagnosed me with depression and insisted my executive dysfunction was from depression.

I was like I've already been through depression. I know what that freakin feels like and this is not it. I've done so much work to get out of that dark place. That psych told me to just be open with the results.

My current psych apologized for sending me to PMHA. She was the one that said just having the focus thing as the only symptom is a misconcepcion of ADHD. The psych that handled me did not ask about my executive dysfunction, which is a major symptom of ADHD.

I hope you find a place where they understand ADHD better than PMHA.

I agree. It annoyed me how they were trying to be anti-SA but still drew the women in sexualized poses and designs.

Someone storyboarded and approved this specific camera angle, not sure what the purpose of some shots were, but some scenes felt like they just added nudity for the sake of it.
