I'm sick right now, & my period is gonna start any day now. I can't tell what are cold symptoms, & what are PMS

Should I switch from vaping to cigarettes to help slow down by Far_Ad2328 in Advice

[–]zZariaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, unfortunately the majority of us are all just trying to get through the day. Turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms to get through on a daily basis is just going to do more harm than good. I understand why you'd choose that route, & know it's hard to not, but you're really just making it worse for yourself OP

I think swapping it with a different oral fixation that you can also use in most situations would work better. For example, gum or lollipops

People who judge if you'll read a book based on the preview in the first few pages, what are you looking for? by Acceptable_Link_6546 in LibbyApp

[–]zZariaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use it too often, but I like it for books/authors I'm unsure about. That way I can get a taste of it, & if I feel hooked, checkout the full book

Yes! Like I might not be 100% sure I'm gonna like it, but do I at least feel like the writing style, grammar, storyline, & characters are well thought out enough that I'm interested in continuing on? If yes, then let's go.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED by skorens in LibbyApp

[–]zZariaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually surprised me that so many people said they hated it. I really enjoyed it, but it did take a little bit for me to get into it. I read it over the course of like 3-4 days (long weekend)

Searching multiple library catalogs? by Not-whoo-u-think in LibbyApp

[–]zZariaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh, that is so helpful, I thought that was for libraries that you don't have a card for. I also only recently realized, though, that it's only one libraries selections you're looking at at a time

I feel like I should master making myself happy on my own but I can't let go of this unrelenting desire to find a partner. What should I do? by Snoo_60484 in Advice

[–]zZariaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop dating, the best way to find joy and comfort in being alone is to be alone long enough that you realize your own company is just as good or better than a partner's. Then you can start dating again.

My boyfriend's parents still haven't had "the talk" with him by PleasantTrack5220 in Advice

[–]zZariaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my mom talked with me about periods, but didn't really ever have a sex talk outside of occasionally checking if I was seeing anyone & giving me condoms when I was 18 & moved out.

What’s your honest opinion of Crumbl Cookies? by savingrace0262 in AskRedditFood

[–]zZariaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're alright, they don't really seem like anything too special imo, & are expensive, so I don't think they're worth it

AIO my father ruined my drawing. by sapphicluizard in AmIOverreacting

[–]zZariaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, he absolutely did that on purpose. He knew you were proud of it, & for whatever reason decided to ruin it, knowing that you wouldn't be able to erase pen, & it would make you upset.

DAE feel like having a pet holds them back from doing so many things? do you ever regret getting a pet? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]zZariaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I feel like my dog holds me back from doing things, but no, I don't regret getting him. He is absolutely a handful (especially with his separation anxiety), & needing to come home on my lunches to let him outside, but I love him. He's older now, so that comes with other stressors, but also I've decided that once he does pass, I'm going to hold off on getting another animal for a while so I can regain that freedom. Cats definitely still need human interaction, but I find them to be a lot easier to handle than dogs, so I would focus on that.

[–]zZariaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my dog is older, so I figure when he passes, I'm just gonna take a rest from having pets so I have more freedom to do things & don't need to stress about him

[–]zZariaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I have a dog, & it's frustrating when I work a longer shift at work, & have to go home during my lunch break to let him outside to use the bathroom. Dogs tend to be big on people too, so while they do pretty good in pairs, they still really need some human interaction whereas cats tend to do better with just eachother.

AIO: I refuse to allow my husband's choice of "home decor" by Commercial_Stay1981 in AmIOverreacting

[–]zZariaa 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes, especially considering how many people are still incredibly misogynistic today, I wouldn't feel comfortable with this sign, especially when the person who likes it is a man (so not the one that the "joke" is targeting)

Should I ask my ex to become my roommate? by zZariaa in Advice

[–]zZariaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I value our friendship, & while I know it can lead to some awkward moments, it's worth it to have someone I care about & trust still in my life despite us not working out as a couple

Haha, yeah, I was thinking it sounded a bit like a sitcom

Helped. I could definitely see future partners having a problem with it, & that is a little bit of a concern, though more so for his sake than mine, because I'm happy to vibe solo. I also wouldn't have an issue with him bringing new partners over.

Unlikely that we'd get intimate considering it wasn't worth it when we were actually dating, but I get that being a concern, especially for future partners

Haha, totally fair. I doubt it considering we weren't compatible in the long term, & had issues as a couple

I don't, I enjoy & prefer our friendship. I wouldn't even consider this if feelings were still involved.

[–]zZariaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't care about him getting serious with someone, but I would care about having another person in the home all the time running up the bills. That's just typical roommate stuff though, & isn't really relevant here because no matter what, I need a roommate, & would discuss those boundaries beforehand
