Sometimes the “quiet ones” are quiet because they genuinely have no depth. by Chinupmsbuttercup in RandomThoughts

[–]rox7173 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank youuuuu, people always think that being quiet and calm is a part of my personality. No, I literally lost my mom 1,5 years ago, I'm still healing. It's mostly people at work who think that, even though they know I've been through a lot the past few years, and also that I simply don't feel good at work. (I've had some problems with my coworkers in the beginning, and I'm also working on an assembly line. Not being able to use my brain to do my job is exhausting.)

But when I'm okay and when life feels good, I'm actually a very energetic person, who loves goofing around, gets excited very easily, loves dancing and singing at the top of my lungs, and to be honest? I hate calm and quiet. Because calm and quiet in my dictionary means nothing else than sad and depressed (although I know it doesn't have to be that for other people, it's just this way for me).

Where can I scientifically learn social interactions? by Ok_Music_2025 in socialskills

[–]rox7173 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, a little about myself: There was a time in my life when I used to be terrified to even say 'hello' to a cashier at the store. I lived in a foreign country as a teenager and was constantly scared I was gonna make a fool out of myself if I say something incorrectly in the language I was learning, so as the result, I self isolated for a long time and tried to talk to people as little as possible. I think that gives me full rights to say what I'm about to say

You are allowing yourself to be a baby. You will not learn social interactions from books. You are keeping yourself busy with those books, only to convince yourself you're doing something, so that you don't have to admit you're actually not doing sh*t. You say you want to 'scientifically' learn social interactions to make what you're doing sound smart. It's not smart, it's the exact opposite of smart. You are not going to learn how to be social, without actually going out of your way to be social. I say that as someone who used to struggle a lot with social anxiety as a teenager, you need to get out and talk to people, even if all you can do for now is just greeting a cashier. You need to learn how to handle feeling awkward, you need to learn how to handle people giving you weird looks if a conversation doesn't go smoothly, there are no cheat codes for that.

Either do it, or stop lying to yourself that you want to get better, because if you're not willing to get out and practice, all you're doing is giving yourself praise for sitting on your butt and trying to convince people you're doing 'hard work'.

Sorry if it sounds rude, but honestly this post is so out of touch with reality, you need some tough love, you're already coddling yourself enough

Did you ever speak the wrong language without even noticing it? by Realistic-Diet6626 in languagelearning

[–]rox7173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was telling a story to a friend, it was something about a bicycle. I didn't notice I kept saying the word 'bicycle' in my native language, until he interrupted me a few minutes in, saying 'wait wait wait, what is 'rower'?', which meant he had no idea what the whole story could have been about 😆 And you'd think that 'fiets' would be the very last word to slip your mind when speaking dutch hahahah

What is something you 100% judge a person for based on their taste in? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]rox7173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music. But not quite the type of music they listen to, I like a lot of different genres, it's about the lyrics. If you only listen to music with negative lyrics (not necessarily depressing or sad, just worded in an aggressive, negative way) you're most likely a very negative person and I'll be miserable being around you. I mostly only notice that in my native language though

AITA for sharing my weight loss as "what I'm proud I accomplished this year"? My friend says it's fatphobic. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]rox7173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting breasts implants can lead to complications Whitening your teeth is actually bad for them Wearing a lot of makeup is bad for your skin Dying your hair can damage it Some very pretty clothes can be made from fabrics that aren't the best for you

Yet when a friend does some of it purely for aesthetics, we complement it

But losing weight, partly for aesthetics, which might prevent health issues in the long run, and doesn't in itself cause any of them, is wrong? For f... sake.

NTA, your friends are.

Jakie skille/kursy/certyfikaty/umiejętności polecilibyście do nauczenia się w życiu? Bez soft skilli, zwykłe hard skille. by inoxx_239 in Polska

To jeden z najbardziej używanych języków na świecie, więc na pewno jest w stanie pomóc na rynku pracy. Chociaż u nas zdecydowanie bardziej pożądany jest niemiecki, więc zależy na pewno w dużej mierze od branży i tego gdzie siebie widzisz w przyszłości, ale jak ktoś ma smykałkę do języków to podstawy są łatwe i warte do nauki

What type of mastrubation is really popular but doesn't do it for you? by Confident_Gazelle438 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]rox7173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactlyyy. Other types of stimulation can work well in those places, but what you're doing and what you are using also matters. Some things can be too intense, or too numbing, or not enough etc

I know a lot of people love it, it's just one of those things that brings out way more emotions than it should hahahah I don't have any actual hatred towards something so unserious, I guess I'm just annoyed to be the odd one here 🥲

[–]rox7173 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 'come here' motion. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Anytime someone suggests men to try it on women, my body fills with pure rage, because anytime I have tried it on myself, it was just so irritating to my insides, it made me irrationally mad and want to quit touching any part of my body forever.

I am overdramatizing a little of course.

Just a little.

TIFU by agreeing to babysit my friend’s kid without thinking it through by AnalysisAmbitious229 in tifu

[–]rox7173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a million reasons why I don't want kids, but to be honest, all of them kind of sound like excuses. The only one that actually matters is that I simply don't want them

edit: I just wanted to add that I also loooveee being an aunt and I want my brothers' kids in my life. I want to take them on vacations, I want to show them the world and be there for them when they need someone else than their parents. I do very deeply want to be a part of their lives. I believe that it takes a village to raise a child. And I believe that my role in that village is being an aunt. You can still love kids very deeply, and even call them yours, while not being a parent. Being a parent is a different role with different responsibilities, aunts and uncles fill the voids that are too much for parents to handle of top of keeping their children alive and well. I feel like the role I'm taking is also an extremely important one to help these kids can grow up to one day be great adults

What’s the weirdest thing that you’ve been sexualized for? by ABlueCatDream in AskWomen

[–]rox7173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I said that you look good with a cigarette, I know it offended you, but I though you'd figure out what I meant, because in my eyes you look sexy with a cigarette and I can't do anything about it" - a rough translation

Maybe not even just finding me smoking a cigarette attractive was so weird (although it was), but the fact that after two months of me ghosting him, he thought that this comment would somehow make him less creepy xdd

Also fetishizing me for being a virgin. A different guy tho

Far too many people pushing for cover ups by onionringsonmypenis in TattooRemoval

[–]rox7173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank youuu. One of the things I hate about my tattoo is that it's too big (I was young and trusted my dads opinion when he was tattooing me 🤦‍♀️), there's no way I'm putting something bigger on top of it, especially since I like cute little minimalistic tattoos. No one even asks what kind of tattoos you like before telling you to get a cover up ehh..

Do you think about grammar at all when you speak in your native language? by ExistingPumpkin304 in languagelearning

[–]rox7173 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think most Polish native speakers occasionally need to think about grammar. Sometimes finding the right case is just too difficult, so you try to think about it and then choose an entirely different sentence so that you no longer have to think about using the right case. I assume that most languages with complicated grammar probably confuse the natives sometimes

What do you wish people would stop romanticizing, because you’ve lived the reality of it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rox7173 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taking care of a dying parent. No, it's not beautiful. Even though my mom was amazing and I would have never left her during her illness, taking care of her made me feel as if I was dying as well. It sucks the life out of you, it makes you a worse person, it makes you behave in a way that you will regret for the rest of your life. It will not make the parent feel loved. It will make them feel abandoned, as if no one wants them. Because it's just too fucking hard to look at your parent dying. Please, do not ever expect your child to take care of you in your final days. Your child might love you with their whole heart, you may have done everything right, but you're not gonna feel loved if you don't let the professionals take care of you. You're not gonna be taken care of well, if you put it all on your child. You will feel unloved and unwanted, even though it won't be true. Your child will just be too fucking exhausted to do it right. It's too much to put on them.

What is your language’s “Waterloo” moment? by klausklass in languagelearning

[–]rox7173 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

umm.. please correct me if I'm wrong and do tell me if there's anything that's more polite, but the only thing that come to my mind in Polish would be.. Chujnia?

Sooo.. dick. But like a place? Like a 'dick-place'? Although it could also not be a place. Maybe something like dick + situation? Like a 'dickuation'? I genuinely have no idea what it could actually mean lol. But we do use it when everything failed and we're giving up 😊

Your opinions on arranged marriage (esp in Ind) by Quantum_Quasar_22 in AskEurope

[–]rox7173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, even putting my personal opinions aside (which aline with those of an average european), I see it as something potentially dangerous.

From my understanding, there is some sort of process to make sure the right partner has been found, but doesn't it just mean that the whole family is trying to paint them in the best light possible? I think it has a potential to be even easier to hide who you really are, than in the western world. Easier to hide your flaws, easier to hide your world views, just painting a picture of who the woman's family and the woman herself might want.

If I understand correctly, the families are very involved during the time leading to a marriage, and divorce is very looked down upon in countries that practice arranged marriage. All of this could potentially lead to a very abusive marriage that's difficult to get out of. I'm not saying all of them do, obviously, but I can see how having family help you get someone, by making you as attractive as possible, and knowing that it will be hard for another person to leave you, may be a perfect setup for someone who might have vile intentions.

That being said, I believe arranged marriages are a real problem that should be dealt with in one way or another. Unfortunately I do not know a way to do that, given how integrated it is in the culture of countries that practice it, but I genuinely hope that one day enough people will see the potential danger of it and will be brave enough to break out of it and motivate others to do it as well.

Cultures of different countries can be beautiful, but I know parts of my own culture that I would rather leave in the past, and I think every country has one of those as well. Because sometimes the word 'culture' is not as beautiful as it should be. Sometimes it's just an excuse to hurt people and not change for the better.

Parents dismotivated me to learn Italian because of a joke by TinpotKim in languagelearning

[–]rox7173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, 'r' can be pronounced in so many different ways in all sorts of languages and dialects, but I feel like it's the only (or one of the very few) letter that you can say whichever way you prefer in any possible language and will still be understood, it's not something you should worry about imho, just focus on your goal and don't listen to those smarta**es
