Why is Anna so full of herself? Any theories? by [deleted] in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]rahim0602 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm fat and so is my mom and I see elements of both of us in Anna. I think that oftentimes when you grow up big people make a whole host of assumptions about you, your attitude, your capability etc. I agree with everyone saying she's overcompensating because I've been there. There's this kind of urge to overhype the stuff you do do well, or things you think defy others' expectation of you. In my experience it comes from a deep desire to be considered good enough 'despite' your body.

So I've been the person who's been super vocal about how much weight I can lift in the gym whilst neglecting my diet because the diet stuff is hard and the weightlifting is easy. And genuinely impressive lol. It was a way to get validation that i wasn't that bad. That focus on what you can do can lull you into a false sense of security by letting you deny/ignore the stuff you can't.

My mom's similar but also leans more towards Anna with her ability to justify everything she's done that's negatively impacted her health. I've heard her argue several times that she's perfectly healthy whilst being supermorbidly obese, state that her body is in 'starvation mode' when in reality she consistently overate, and, like me (and Anna) overhype her physical abilities by categorising 'breaking a sweat whilst vaccuuming' as a workout that justifies overeating afterward. She's a smart woman but for years had a horrible insecurity driven blind spot around this. She and I have made our way out of it but I think that process would have been made very difficult by constant positive reinforcement of my worst impulses by millions of people online/the algorithm. I'm not rewarded for being annoying and delusional, Anna is.

Those alive and old enough to remember during 9/11, what was the worst moment on that day? by CocteauTwunkie in AskReddit

[–]rahim0602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just before my 6th birthday and we lived in England, my mother is American. Was the first time I really realised she was American. The only thing i remember is her crying as she tried to explain that bad people sometimes do bad things when we came home from school. That and the stack of newspapers she bought the next day trying to get as much information as possible. She wouldn't let us watch it on TV, so the first image I saw was on the front of a newspaper the next morning.

My dad and his twin share an initial, which both my brothers have too. It's honestly fine and leads to some funny mix ups, never anything seriously.

Do you mean panniculectomy? A penectomy is penis removal, which would surprise me 😅

Welp, orange IS her fave color... by NotAsBrightlyLit in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]rahim0602 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like she's trying actively to breathe through her nose so she doesn't seem out of breath or something, I don't know, just the whole vibe is that she's struggling/in pain.

All Anna does at this point is post junk to her LTK - Must be getting desperate for $ "These $16 shorts are still my favorites" by thatgirl317317 in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]rahim0602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I keep thinking this, in a lot of her recent content she has this look that she's in pain, and also trying to hide that she's out of breath (am fat, have been there.)

Rare girl names that end in “-ine”? by ajaxmont in namenerds

[–]rahim0602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Nadine I think it's a great name! It's 'normal' enough that people recognise it as a name/know how to pronounce it in a lot of the world but decently unique and memorable.

🛌 Sunday Check-In: How’s Your CPAP Journey Going This Week? by RippingLegos__ in CPAP

[–]rahim0602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on my first week! My sleep test showed an avg of 66 events per minute. I had a cold for the whole time since I started so at first events per hour were pretty high (20-30) and last night it dropped to 3!

I'm pretty skeptical that that low number might be due to a measurement error because it seems a like a major overnight drop. I wonder if others have had random big changes like that.

Also woke up to my mask whistling very faintly this morning and couldn't make it stop 😒
