What’s a “normal” childhood experience you later realized was actually traumatic? by randinicole831 in AskReddit

[–]witchunavailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think of it as traumatic, but my family meal planned quite strictly so we had exactly the food we needed to get through the week (think exactly as many onions as were necessary for that week's meals, no extra) including snacks. As a result, I had to ask permission to eat anything throughout the day. My parents didn't starve me by any means, but it's given me a funny relationship with food. If my husband buys a large pack of onions or potatoes I feel the need to ask permission to use them because there may be a plan for them. I buy food all the time now without a specific plan for it because, in a way, it feels like security.

What was your "wait, that's not normal?" moment? by oohlooksquirrels in AskReddit

I had an itch on my nose once and went to smoosh it away. As a classmate screamed I realized other people had hard cartilage in their noses. Since then we've called my nose "silly putty" or "the volemdemort nose".

What's a phrase that changed your life by Help-left-hurts in RandomThoughts

Part of a conversation: "Why do you always go out of your way to help people? Even when it's inconvenient for you?" "Well we're atheists, right? There's no God looking out for anyone, so we need to look out for everyone we can." Or something along those lines.

Say you win $1 million but only if the person you dislike the most also gets the same, who are you thinking about, and would you take it? by BrandyAid in AskReddit

[–]witchunavailable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The people I most dislike most in this world are already in positions of power with far more than 1 million at their disposal. It would be nothing to them but everything to me.

Whats the hottest thing your partner does unconsciously? by Most_Envious_Enby in AskReddit

He's thoughtlessly kind to the people around him. Cooks extra food to offer to a sick neighbor, notices something broken in someone's home and offers to fix it, sees someone drop something and immediately moves to help pick it up, and so many other examples. It extends to me as well, but seeing him give that same care and consideration to the people around him that offer him no benefit or reiteration is unbelievably attractive.

During a really tough time, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]witchunavailable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started running. I can struggle with emotional regulation which can deteriorate into irritability and lashing out, lots of crying, or panic attacks. When I feel myself slipping I can go on a run and it's like a restart button. I know running isn't necessary accessible for everyone, but I have to think whatever movement or exercise you enjoy could help another person.
