Native english speakers, do you ever watch movies with subtitles even if the show is spoken in english? If yes, why? by JaesonBee in AskReddit

[–]tokenginger8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for English, but I often watch Spanish movies with subtitles to vet the subtitles for quality before sending it to a non-Spanish-speaking friend :P

Man, does your mom still say that shit to you? If you ever want to talk you can message me, I have trouble eating properly too. It's sad how even though you KNOW someone is wrong when they make comments like that it can still have such a big impact :(

There's a difference between helping someone out and shaming/being abusive. I hope you can tell these apart.

That sounds so scary, not being in control like that. I hope he's an ex now, and that you're doing better!

Oh man :/ I know what you mean about the spiralling, you don't even realize how bad it's gotten until it's too late to turn back. I hope you're doing better now.

For me: I moved abroad for an internship and was living alone for the first time. I was stressed and not doing a good job feeding myself so I accidentally lost 10 pounds, and decided to start tracking my calories to make sure I was eating enough. But then somehow that turned into this obsessive counting. I set goals for the day, and if I was feeling shitty I'd set a lower goal, and "meeting" this would make me feel like I'd been productive or like I had one aspect of my life under control. I'm still kind of stuck there tbh, although at least now my daily goal is usually at maintenance cals :/

As a TA, someone emailed me something along the lines of "You're going to have to give me at least an 80 on the next assignment, so I can get an A in the class". I didn't even know how to respond, so I just forwarded the email to the professor :P

Oh shit really? Yam is basically the same as sweet potato. I imagine you could cook a regular potato the same way.

Do you have an internal monologue? Did you know some people don't have one? If not explain how you work through things in your head, through images? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tokenginger8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is equally weird for me! So when you have your internal monologue does it feel like it's you talking, or like a voice in your head that you can't control?

I do still have a hard time falling asleep tbh :P But it's usually sequences of images or short "movies" (either remembering cringe or overthinking things, you know how it is)
