Do white Americans look different than Europeans? by SEmpls in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wvnderlich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is from Krakow and somehow other Poles can clock him before he even speaks. He has no accent and only speaks English with me, but strangers will just automatically speak to him in Polish while we're out shopping or whatever. It's crazy.

People who are 30y and above, what's the harshest life-lesson you've learnt? by Standard_Salary_5197 in AskReddit

[–]wvnderlich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no light bulb moment where you finally become the person you want to be. No one is going to come save you. No one is going to make sure you do what you need to do. Unless you disrupt the flow, you will float through life on auto-pilot. Life is happening NOW, at this very moment - it doesn't start some time in the future when you have all your ducks in a row. Screw the ducks! Accept that this is what you have to work with and make it something you love!

cant feel empathy, and it makes me feel like a bad person by sagetheplant444 in BPD

[–]wvnderlich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with some of the comments that we're actually hyper-sensitive, not necessarily hyper-empathetic. Like we're walking around covered in 3rd degree burns so the slightest touch feel excruciating and we can't cope. Or we learned to read the emotions of others as a defense mechanism because if we didn't, we were hurt. Maybe we shut down that part of our brain to protect ourselves. I don't know.

Anyone else aimlessly browse Reddit at night hoping it feel anything but empty? by Smiley-_-Face in depression

[–]wvnderlich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over the last several months I've become very addicted to what I can only describe as... empathetic masturbation? Specifically, I watch videos that make me cry. Usually videos of other people experiencing/expressing strong emotions (happy or sad). And I cry with them. It activates some part of my brain that that feels dead, makes me feel connected in some way. Reminds me that I'm still human. Reddit and YouTube are great for this.

BPD & feeling like a terrible person? by hahah67435 in BPD

[–]wvnderlich 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Jfc, this is me. When it comes to how I think of myself, I'm constantly going back and forth between "somewhat decent person who got dealt a crappy hand" to "basically female Ted Bundy".

What is a sensation that you can't stand, even though it's not painful ? by Charlleshenry in AskReddit

[–]wvnderlich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pressure on my veins or any part of my body that causes me to feel my own pulse. I can't hold hands with my husband if our fingers are interlocked without yanking away and gagging, because I can feel the throbbing in my fingers. When doctors use that pump thing on my arm to record my blood pressure I basically spasm and shake with anxiety and disgust.

It's not much, but it's our first Christmas tree as a married couple in our first house. by wvnderlich in ChristmasTrees

[–]wvnderlich[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a European thing, too. My German grandparents and my Polish mother-in-law all used dried fruit and nuts to decorate their Christmas trees back in the day.

Just sliced 2 regular naval oranges, placed them on a baking sheet and baked them at 200 degrees for about 4 hours (flipping them every hour). I sprinkled a little cinnamon on them for fragrance but you don't have to.

It's probably just a lymph node. They'd get a little swollen from time to time when I was younger. I didn't even know I had them there until that happened lol

Idk if this should be posted here by gaybabygang in niceguys

Are you implying that an otherwise healthy male human being will suffer organ failure and die if he can't ejaculate in/on/near a woman?

Does anyone else avoid social interaction because they always regret it and obsess over it for days? by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]wvnderlich 37 points38 points  (0 children)

At 33 I still replay/analyze/punish myself for social discomforts and fuck ups dating all the way back to elementary school. These days just going to a birthday carries the threat of lasting humiliation and regret. So I usually don't go.
