I honestly feel like if I had the positivity and productivity in the day that I have in the night I’d be a completely different person.

I do not drink water, and it’s for a very specific reason. I know I’m not the only one…
Let’s start with the acknowledgment that I am very much an adult and very much aware of the benefits of drinking water versus the effects of not drinking water.
Trigger warning…shit’s about to get personal.
I do not swallow. Nor do I spit. Period.
The origin of said aversion stems from a childhood…situation, and it is deeply set.
This is where my brain got a little…twisted on logic.
Given that human sperm is microscopic, my brain decided fish sperm must be much smaller.
For some unknown reason, nature has some fish do drive-by shootings to procreate. The “mom” lays her eggs and tootles off. Some guy fish swims over them, releases sperm into the open water, and hopes something hits the mark.
The open water. That’s the part my brain gets stuck on.
My brain cannot comprehend a filter that can filter out fish sperm.
The whole “I don’t swallow or spit” thing applies to possibly imaginary fish sperm.
I don’t drink water, and honestly, my reasoning feels valid to me.
I also understand it sounds, maybe, slightly…unhinged.
Something else I understand is that with billions of people on this planet, the odds of this being a “just me” thing are probably lower than the odds of water being sperm-free.
I know someone out there can relate.

Whenever I've engaged with other human beings in any deeper conversations than me replying with mono-syllables, I'll later feel remorseful for giving information unprompted. Like if I had exposed myself in ways that could only benefit the other person, and make me an easy target in the long run.

So instead I write that same shit to myself all the time, and have extensive conversations where I imagine what other imaginary things would say. I've found out that writing down these exchanges feels a lot more fulfilling than just talking to myself in my head. It almost hits like some sort of immediate mental clarity once I'm finished, and re-reading everything back makes me glad I did not share it with anyone.

It doesn't matter where I'm going or how old I am, if there's a crisp leaf on the ground, I have to step on it.

I feel like I don’t have enough time in the day at all ever. I’m always playing catch up and then end up going to bed because I want to have good sleep habits. Buttt I feel like if I could manage just one super productive all nighter I could breathe. Buttt on the other hand, I’m older now and know I’ll probably not make it all night and just have a shitty day.

Some of mine are most of nicklebacks songs, the bad touch, fancy footwork and the male singer in just give me a reason

Sorry if that doesn’t make much sense, but I feel like im stuck in this weird middle group between a couple of my friends and it makes me feel like I don’t quite fit in.

I’m really into anime, gaming, cosplay and stuff like that, but I’m also really into girly things like fashion and makeup, and also… country music lol.

I feel like sometimes in not “nerdy enough” to keep up with my “nerdy friends” but then I feel like I’m too much for my friends who don’t share the same “nerdy interests.”

Does anyone else feel like this?

i still rework it in my head on the bus or on waiting someone. it's honestly a great answer now. but the company closed two years ago.

DAE rehearse completely normal conversations in their head before they happen?

Like making a phone call, asking someone a simple question, or ordering something. Then the actual conversation ends up taking about 20 seconds.

Growing up I always had an inner monologue that was very clearly and obviously female despite me being biologically male and always identifying as cisgender, same age-range as whatever I was/am at the time, and I never thought much about it until I brought it up in my childhood to my family because I would refer to my inner voice as "her" and they thought I had an imaginary friend for the entire time up to that point.

My mom says her inner monologue has always sounded identical to her voice, and my brother doesnt have an inner monologue at all. Some folks I have asked about it state their inner voice sounds like them, sounds similar but the same gender as them, or doesn't have an actual voice and they just know what its saying in their head, but I havent ever met anyone who had opposite gender inner voice. Even my trans friends I spoke to say their inner voice matched their real voices, and changed as they transitioned.

Well in the past few years after a major health diagnosis, I found out I had a condition called tetragametic chimerism, where I had a twin in the womb who was a biological female who passed and got absorbed by me during gestation. I found out a lot of my organs have XX genetics, and its entirely possible my brain could have been impacted too. My psychologist believes it possible that could have caused my brain to develop a female inner monologue while externally I developed as a cisgender man, but considering its a rare condition that normally involves twins of the same gender, not opposite gender twins, I have never found another person who experiences this 😅.

So, does anybody else have that internal monologue that's the opposite gender as what you are externally? Ive always been curious about finding others who experience this too.

It's been few weeks, I started jogging about 3 km every morning. Recently, I noticed something weird: after running for around 1 km, I realised that my nipples had become hard. 💀

Luckily, I wear a loose jersey, but damn! I wasn't prepared for my body to unlock this feature during a morning run.

And for some reason, my first thought was, "Men, this feels embarrassing!"

Is this normal, or is my body just trying to add some extra drama to my fitness journey? Have you ever experienced something weird or unexpectedly embarrassing?

bruh im sorry but no i dont have a favourite fucking show and i dont even listen to music i actually dont give a fuck about celebrities or anything like how do people genuinely have posters, merch and all that shit for someone random. (im not hating on it at all btw im just thinking likewhats wrong w me because i actually dont care for those things and idk i just cant be bothered to explore it. and with music obviously i have songs i like but id much rather do something else than just sit there and listen to it like how do people do that

i dont know i rather fill my time either js with other people, doing my own thing or studying im ngl..
and i remember my teacher said (not to me js in general) like dont be one of those peoples whos like only main thing is studying but like why is that so bad... some peoples only main thing is making music ect but when it comes to studying why is it looked down on and seen as something people are js forced to do?? (i mean they r but ykwim)

what does this mean i just have no interests that makes me feel like a weirdo

It's funny, because I stopped eating sugar 5 years ago (not counting the natural sugars occuring in fruit)

My friends and partner alike have used my phone and always find it shocking that I do not use the actual home page for my apps, is this odd?? I just use the big library all the way to the right when navigating.

So I’ll explain: basically I think of like something I don’t want to happen ie getting harassed in public today, and then I’ll think “well it probably won’t happen now that I thought of it”

My WFH job is issuing us 45 minute lunch periods this week since it’s a busy week for the line of work we support and I just zipped and zoomed in my kitchen starting this Hamburger Vegetable Beef Soup (link if interested: https://www.southyourmouth.com/2012/11/hamburger-vegetable-beef-soup.html?m=1) and had a timer for 40 min so that I could make it back to my desk in time and had the Chopped montages playing in my head to keep me amused 😂

Just wondering if anybody else does this 🙂

not in a parasocial way, and not necessarily ‘sad’ but for example: love island. everyone blows up after the season ends, and now they aren’t normal or relatable people anymore. that one girl who worked at a hardware store and is now a millionaire.. i mean good for her! that’s great, but instantly makes them manufactured. i just wish people could stay normal, maybe time to get off my phone 😂😂 but also why can’t people just go back to their regular lives anymore!!

I’ve always found something really cute about hiccups, especially when a woman gets them.
There’s something about the little sounds, how spontaneous they are, and those moments when someone gets interrupted by a hiccup in the middle of talking.
It’s one of those small, natural things that genuinely makes me smile. I also find it particularly charming when someone gets hiccups easily.
I’m curious if anyone else feels the same way, or if other people have their own little things they find unexpectedly adorable.
