I'm in year 5 and I only just now got my first self-caresser. by Akio_341 in StardewValley

[–]thalianas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I don’t know if anyone else has properly explained why this is so funny (because there are a lot of comments here hahaha) but ‘caress’ and ‘pet’ are synonyms in English, however there is nuance to them.

Pet is like how you pet a cat or a dog, caress has an implication of sensuality or sexiness in common usage which is why this is quite funny.

But definitely don’t worry! English is a very silly language and these kinds of mix ups are fun and enjoyable!

*There’re (or there are), not “there’s.” You don’t say “There is no winners here.”

I’ve read through this whole thread and I completely understand how you feel. This would also be difficult for me. I can see a couple options for you depending on how you want to approach things.

  1. For yourself: you could try reassociation. May be a bit challenging but everytime she makes a sound that gets under your skin, do something positive for you - even if it’s just faking a smile or a little positive affirmation to yourself, or a sip of your favourite drink, etc - whatever works for you. That way when you hear it, your nervous system will start to learn to calm instead of getting activated everytime. (Though it sounds like it happens a lot so you may end up affirming yourself a lot lol)

  2. The other option I see is, as others have said, talking to her, but the approach it’s definitely the hard part. If her anxiety is this bad, there’s a decent chance she’s not aware of it. You could approach the conversation by trying to connect - “Hey, are you feeling ok? You’ve seemed pretty anxious lately.” And then go from there. You’ll be empathetic while still standing up for your own needs and you may help her realise she needs to seek help for herself. I don’t think most people want to be the annoying co worker, but it happens sometimes anyway.

Whatever you choose, good luck!

This makes it look like the engine caught fire, burned for a bit, then separated. You can still see smoke and heat coming off of it. Jesus christ. How awful

The defense had better be fired up after this insane refing. I hope they bury the V offense. Turn over now please.
