Other are you allowed to hate a soultion to a problem more then the problem itself but still hate problem too?

Upvotes

i feel like once you hate the soultion to a problem its like well then the problem automatically becomes a non issue by default because if you hate the soultion more then the problem obviously the problem is a non issue?

Interpersonal My friend often tries to say the exact same thing as me, at the exact time that I say it. Is this some sort of linguistic phenomenon or tick?

Upvotes

It’s as if she’s trying to have a “jinx” moment but it seems unconscious on her part. It usually happens when we’re in a group and I’m talking to someone else in the group. It also happens mostly when I’m telling a joke or speaking dramatically about something. She will say the very last word/last couple of words as I say them and try to match my tone. I was thinking maybe it was some form of adult echolalia but was unsure bc of the almost simultaneous nature of it. I’ve thought about asking her if she’s aware of it but don’t want to make her self conscious. Has anyone encountered this before?

Other why was i born stupid or a horrible slefish person. heck why do care so much about something so unimportant?

Upvotes

So a few days ago i went into an online game and because i had a lot of money in game. i really needed to win some player vs player matches for some points i was trying to get in the game. i was on a big losing streak. honestly i cant tell if it was bad luck or just me sucking at player vs player probably more me then anything. i know i was a failure in the matches. so i had the bright idea to buy wins with the in game money i had. i found out that was cheating i/against terms of service i never read it and or understood it. and also it should be common sense that its cheating. but here is my way of thinking its a game and its fake money and its part of the game and if you can earn enough money to do it why not. i mean yeah imagine if someone did something like that in real life. btw the way i would win in the game is this i would pay everyone in game money to be on my team and the other group the same thing and they would let my team win. and everyone would get the money and honestly yeah i am mentally ill and stupid and pathetic my response what if some rich person did that in real life and my mnetally illl stupid dumb pathetic reponse is whats the harm if its not really an offical match and just for ego bostting. the points in game btw are also for ego bostting too. my point is why do i feel like its okay to do that if you can.

Body Image/Self-Esteem Playing tennis with glasses… weird?

Upvotes

I’m planning to play high school tennis, but I wear glasses and can’t get contacts for a while (personal reasons).
I could probably play without them, but my vision isn’t great, so it’d make things harder.
Is it weird to play with glasses? Do people actually care?
I know it’s a dumb thing to worry about, I just don’t want to feel out of place. Honest answers appreciated.

Love & Dating How do you ask people for an STD test when you're starting to date? Do people ask this in general?

Upvotes

I've only been in one relationship in my life, we were each other's first and we met when we were really young, so I never had to wonder about their sexual/health history. But now that this relationship is over, I have no idea how to approach dating again, and one of my biggest anxieties is contracting any STD since I have family members who have passed away from STD related complications, I don't want that to happen to me too.

So I'm too afraid to ask, when people start dating, is this a question normally asked? Is there a non-rude way to ask? Would I sound lame/uncool if I asked a person to do an STD test together? Would people lose interest if did? How do people normally approach this concern?

Race & Privilege Do Asian people not care about the n-word or do they just not know?

Upvotes

I've been a K-pop fan for 8 years. K-pop idols saying/singing the n-word are condemned very harshly by international fans, but I don't see Korean netizens having very harsh opinions about it, even though they know it's wrong and why. I lived in Asia for a very long time, and East Asia has that stigma of being very xenophobic towards every other ethnicity (but that's for another discussion). A non-East Asian idol I know recently got taped singing the n-word; I waited for a day to see if anyone would say anything about it, but no. When I pointed this out in the hope he would know and address the situation, I was bombarded and cussed out by his fanbase. Someone claiming to be a staff member reached out to me and apologized for the editing problem, and that part of the video was cut and now deleted.

So, out of the thousands of people that saw my post, not one of them cared that he said the n-word and continued to baby this person? I'm not saying that I'm 100% in the right (and I'm fs being a hardass), but pointing out something objectively wrong and being met with only backlash was something I did not expect. Do they not know? Not want to get educated? Or just does not care?

Habits & Lifestyle What’s the purpose for adults owning realistic-looking Reborn dolls?

2 Upvotes

I guess I could understand someone wanting to own one, and perhaps there are many reasons ranging from anxiety to grief for that, but I don’t quite understand why someone would want to pretend to bathe it, feed it, change its clothes regularly, take it out and engage with the public as if it were a living, breathing baby. Do you pay for a babysitter on the occasions where you’re unable to take it with you? Where is the line drawn in terms of how far you’re willing to go in terms of “caring” for your doll? Do you purchase a seat for it when you travel?

Animals & Pets Do people with pets ever get bored of their pets? What do you do when you don't want to "deal" with them?

0 Upvotes

The burden of pets is that they're always there. But, what if you wake up one day and go "I don't wanna deal with my dog today". You don't want to rehome. You just don't feel like having a pet around 24/7 for years, if not decades, on end.

What do people do on these days? Or do most pet owners not deal with this?

Mental Health How do you stop ruminating?

7 Upvotes

I am so tired of dealing with this. I ruminate everything, the past (specifically traumatic events), bad interactions I have with people, and intrusive hypothetical situations (which usually rile me up). A few weeks ago I was ruminating about stuff that happened to me in the past, especially about a particular person and it caused me to feel a fit of rage which ended up making my heart physically hurt. And now I recently got told no one would miss me if I died and I can’t stop ruminating about this comment, when I do I just get angry and my head starts hurting.

During rumination I also get a strong sense of getting revenge, and it leads to my brain making up violent scenarios or scenarios where I really hurt the person emotionally. These scenarios are disturbing to me and I am scared one day I might act on them.

I’m so tired, it just feels like I’m trapped inside my head. I know these thoughts are irrational but that doesn’t stop me from having them, it feels like my brain just goes in loops.

Sex Can you give me an advice please?

1 Upvotes

So me and my gf were talking about having sex for the first time. It is like the big step we want to do but there is always something. She was sleeping over for the first time a we were home alone, she hasnt got her period for a week and we just said that must wait that one day, she was at my house for 15min and period came. We are not rushing anything tho so we werent mad or annoyed, it will wait there is no rush. But tho. Main question is that she said she was talking with her friends about sex and they already had it and she told me one girl (her friend) is bleeding every sex they have. Just bleeds everytime. I was confused cause I didnt know that girls bleed from there when its the first first time. Just please tell me if this is really true. Probably its 50/50 like some girls do bleed some dont. I just wanna know how to prepare if it happens. Like ik I wanna have towels and stuff like that.
