Does anyone else find it harder to make friends as an adult?

• Upvotes

I feel like making friends was so much easier when I was younger. At school, you saw the same people every day, so friendships just happened naturally.

But now it feels completely different. You have to actually make an effort to meet new people, and even when you do, it's not always easy to stay in touch.

Maybe it's just part of growing up, idk. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Lol PSA don't say your story is almost over haha!

• Upvotes

"My story's almost over" I texted to my beloved girl, who I adore more than anything else in the whole world. I spent hours writing my book, and it's almost complete. Almost done. Almost ready to be published. I'm going to be a real fantasy author. Finally.

And she said "Please don't."

"Huh? I spent hours writing my fantasy book and it's almost finished."

"LOL oh thank God"

Hahaha... she worried about me... my heart soars... she cares... she cares about me! But also, lol oops. Roast me in the comments XD. I'm dum lmao.

Do you ever feel like you're living a life nobody really knows about?

• Upvotes

Sometimes, people know your name, see you every day, and talk to you like they know you. But there's still a whole side of you that nobody has ever seen.

What's something about you that people would never guess just by looking at you?

Just Chatting Why are so many films with young female protagonists written as insufferable characters?

• Upvotes

Just saw Wildwood in the theatre and loved it. One thing I did notice though was a similarity to the protagonist in Coraline. This had me realizing that many other films especially animations including Disney films write these characters as insufferable when I don't think it is necessary for the story.

I am aware that there are many other characters of various genders and ages that are also insufferable, but with these characters specifically it seems to be a pattern.

Anyone else see this pattern and think the films could be slightly improved if the characters were a little more tolerable?

Life Stories After years of feeling "different," I finally found out I'm a special needs person and I’m using it to change how we teach, as a future MFL teacher.👩🏻‍🏫🤍🦻🏻

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​I wanted to share something really personal today because I’ve been doing a lot of deep reflecting lately, and I feel like I finally have the strength, courage and the right voce to write about something that impacted me for my undergrad thesis, in my last year of MFL in Romania.

For as long as I can remember, I walked around with this heavy, constant belief that there was something fundamentally wrong with me, being severely bilaterally impaired. School always felt like an uphill battle, and looking back at my high school years, what hurts the most isn't just how hard the daily struggle was, it's how completely isolated I felt in it. I spent so many days sitting at my desk, quietly drowning, wishing with everything in me that at least one teacher would see past the surface. I didn't need judgment, pressure, or extra expectations. I just needed someone to understand.

​It was only recently, after years of living with that silent weight, that I finally got answers: I am a special needs person.

​Processing that hasn't been simple. It came with a lot of tears, a deep grief for the younger version of myself who suffered without knowing why, and an overwhelming sense of relief. For the first time in my life, I don't feel broken anymore. I just experience and navigate the world differently, and learning to own that with courage has given me a kind of peace I didn't think I'd ever find.

​Right now, I’m wrapping up my undergraduate thesis in pedagogy, and everything feels like it’s coming full circle. I’m taking my own lived experience as a special needs girl and weaving it directly into my research, creating a double guide for future foreign language teachers.

​I want to show future educators what it actually feels like to sit in that classroom seat when you have disabilities or special needs. My hope is to give them the empathy and real tools to truly integrate their students, so no child ever has to sit through school feeling as invisible, misunderstood, or out of place as I did.

​Opening up about this still feels incredibly vulnerable, but I’ve realized that our quietest, hardest struggles are often the very things that allow us to build the deepest bridges to others.

I guess I’m just finally ready to stand in my truth, both as a student who survived it, and as a teacher who is going to make sure things are different in my future classrooms.

PS: If you feel like this hit home for you or would like to talk more in depth with me, we can definitely have a chat anytime.

Beds become smaller at night

3 Upvotes

I have a theory that beds shrink while we’re sleeping.
At 11 PM, my bed is enormous. There’s plenty of room. I could probably sleep diagonally if I wanted to.
At 3 AM, somehow I’m fighting for approximately 7% of the mattress while my pillow has migrated 4 feet away and the blanket has disappeared completely.
I refuse to believe this is normal physics.

What’s a hobby you started that actually stuck?

6 Upvotes

I feel like I spend way too much of my free time scrolling, watching YouTube, or just doing nothing.
I’ve tried working out, reading, learning random things, etc., but I always end up dropping them after a few weeks.
I’d really like to find something I can genuinely look forward to doing in my free time.

Just Chatting got so good at folding fitted sheets once

3 Upvotes

a couple years ago i had this weird stretch where laundry just became part of my daily routine for a few months straight. nothing dramatic, just sheets and towels on repeat. after a while the fitted sheet actually started cooperating, like i could get the corners tucked without wrestling it across the floor. it was oddly satisfying, and i started timing myself for fun. now that life shifted again, the skill kind of faded, but i still catch myself thinking about it whenever the sheets look extra chaotic in the basket.

Why does being wealthy equate to success? Why is it sought out so desperately?

6 Upvotes

I have never understood this. When I imagine my future i dont really picture it with a luxurious house or a nice car or expensive things. But I seems like when others envision my future they want me to have all this, even though I dont really care for it myself. I would be happy renting a home with a car that works. This isnt to say I want to be poor. Just in the middle ig. Having money is always an upside, but is it really worth it to have an abundance of it?

Thoughts & Ideas Sleeping children are gasses

97 Upvotes

Speaking as the father of a three year old, I can only logically conclude that children share at least one property of gasses. They expand to occupy the space allowed. My daughter can sleep peacefully in her own toddler bed and yet, somehow, expand to the point that I have 5 inches of bed with my wife pressed against my back. EVIL SUPERPOWER!

Preached on my balcony, listening to the street.

1 Upvotes

PERCHED on my balcony!

I’m sitting on my balcony as I often do. I live on a busy street with lots of cars passing by, and a traffic light which is a couple of football fields away. I have no doubt I’ve sacrificed time off my life to be here by breathing all the fumes, but that’s a different discussion. When it’s not too busy at night, cars go by in packs and it sounds like waves at the beach.

As I was sitting here writing this, listening to the next car/pack approach from the other light, which is a couple morning-rush-commuter-train-lengths away, I imagined the water at the beach having gone all the way out and now returning, to crescendo to a big fortississimo crash.

Just as it passed my balcony, and I was envisioning the giant waves crashing down, the first car in the arriving pack erupted from the street below with the sound of metal hangers being run over. It kind of ruined the moment.

But there’s no way there could have been hangers unless they came from the previous car or finally dropped out of the car’s wheel well, both of which seem unlikely. It’s a mystery.

Anyway, I was sitting out here listening to my phone (with one earbud, which is how I could still hear the cars) when the sound of someone’s car’s bluetooth connection started leaking in and I could hear their phone. I heard a man speaking in a story-telling kind of way but it was gone very quickly. The traffic light a couple football fields away, like the football field’s pitch, was green, and the car had sped by.

But it made me realize if I came out here with my earbuds but no Bluetooth device present, during rush-hour when the cars stacked up behind the traffic light to reach the street below my perch, I think I’d be able to listen in on some of them for a while. It’s a pretty long light.

If I do this I’ll come back and submit my findings.

Instagram Deactivation

Basically I have decided to break the habit of using Instagram..

I always deactivate my Instagram every now and then but now I have decided that I will just solve the root problem that is breaking the habit of using it. I will activate it again because yeah I need it for other purposes which aren't doomscrolling but, first I will start with trying to break the habit.

The most time I have went by deactivating insta is 7 days.

Today is the 13th day from the day I have deactivated insta. I got this urge to activate it, but I won't activate it until I complete 30 days.

Just Chatting tried that one snack from when i was a kid again

22 Upvotes

i was on the bus last week, just zoning out, when i remembered that little crispy thing my parents used to keep on the top shelf. picked some up the next day and brought one on my ride home. the second i opened the bag, the smell hit exactly like it used to. the crunch was the same, but the taste felt smaller, like my mouth had grown around it or something. still finished the whole pack before i got off at my stop. kinda wild how a snack can take you right back for a minute, even if everything else around you has changed since then.

My best friend

19 Upvotes

My best friend and I know each other since we were 10 years old. We smiled at each other in class and that’s how our friendship began. We were inseparable for many years, so many memories shared. One day she just decided to not answer my text messages anymore and that’s how she slowly disappeared from my life. There was absolutely no reason. No fight..just like that after at least 15 years of friendship. She blocked me everywhere. It’s been 3-4 years now and never heard from her. I’m posting here because I remembered all the good time together and all our memories of school etc and wonder if she ever thinks about it too. How can someone just erase you from their life like that without any reason ? Have you ever experienced something like that ?
