After long days, I just want to go home and rest. My current roommate talks to himself constantly. Loudly. So loud that if I try to get into a movie or show, I can’t hear all of it. He paces back and forth talking to himself about different things. I wear headphones when out in public because I just want to be with my own thoughts. I just don’t tolerate constant talking very well. When I want to journal or meditate I have to go in my car or drive to a parking lot to get peace and quiet. Working on my living situation so I can live alone. Asking for quiet doesn’t work. I just think that at some point in life you should be able to be quiet.

If I am sleeping deep enough but I have to pee irl, it will consume my dreams. I'll constantly be looking for a bathroom, and even if I find/use one, dream-me never feels satisfied. It will just be an endless stream of me needing to use the restroom, no matter how many times I go. Obviously, this is because my real body needs to pee, but it isn't enough to truly wake me up. I'll eventually wake up and realize why my dreams were so weird is because of my need to actually pee. I assume I'm just in too deep of a sleep to be woken, but the sensation is enough to mess with my dreams. Does anyone else get this, or am I just weird?

(Disclaimer: this has never once caused me to wet the bed. Most of the time if I have to pee, I will wake up before it affects my dreams. Otherwise, I just get weird dreams.)

I often get food poisoning that puts me out of commision once or twice a year. When I do vomit/feel nausea from food poisoning I notice that whenever I think of any food I had previously eaten in the last 12 hours it makes me feel worse, and it makes me despise that food for period after.

This happens even when the food isn't the explicit cause. For example, I got food poisoning a few years ago and that same day I had eaten a lot of taro chips. I couldn't stop thinking about the oiliness and grease in them when I was feeling nauseous. It actually made me stop eating taro chips for months after I recovered, even when I knew it didn't cause my sickness.

DAE have something similar to this?

Feel so blah and embarrassed right now. Was on vid chat with my bf and he asks me to turn around to see my ass and I forgot I've got like 3 little holes in my PJ pants -_- He pointed it out and died laughing. I laughed a little but wanted to cry too. Haven't worn hole-y clothes with him but I've always sort of just worn my home clothes until the holes are too big to deal with. I'm kind of a hobo at home and I'm usually really put together and made up when I'm with him so. I'm dying of embarrassment. On top of it he said he's never seen a girl do that. I've got longstanding depression so it feels like an external manifestation of my inner chaos which is part of why I feel so ashamed.

I’ve been having dreams a lot more lately, I don’t remember much of them but I am kinda aware during them, it’s kinda nice being elsewhere for a little while haha hehe

So everyone I know absolutely hates that I like toe socks. Don’t get me wrong when I first bought a pair as an adult it was sort of as a joke but after putting them on I loved them, just like how each toe is separate and it’s stops them rubbing together in tight shoes etc. There’s just something about them that I now can’t hate them.

I need to know if anyone else likes toe socks, if you’re not sure what a toe sock is, it’s a sock with individual toes like a glove for your foot. I don’t mind people not liking them but it’s the excessive amount of hate I get when I ever wear them or mention them. I need to know I’m not alone in this!

Ps spoke to my mother about this and apparently I loved them as a toddler too!

hi! I wouldn't consider myself a gamer, as it's not my main hobby. however, I've loved pokemon my entire life, namely the DS games.

however I find that I restart the games I own very often. after I beat the elite 4, I delete the save file and start another one with a different team. i just restarted pokemon platinum for the 4th time today, in fact.

i tried looking it up, and a lot of people mention it's an OCD thing. its funny, because I highly likely have it (I've done my research). however, restarting the game isn't a compulsion for me. i don't get anxiety about it. i do it mostly because I want to re-experience the story, and be a better player than before. i don't want to just do post game stuff after finishing the game.

does anyone else here do this?

Of course the meaning comes to me, but my brain first experiences an association with a texture, taste, color, smell, sensation, image, etc before getting to the actual meaning. Almost every word has at least a brief presence like that in my mind. Is this entirely normal or really weird? I only know it’s not everyone because my sister didn’t get what I was talking about. These associations aren’t limited to just words, but that’s the most prominent thing. Sometimes the sensation associated with a word is beyond explanation.

Sometimes I wonder why I overthinking so much.I acknowledge the fact that it's stupid to overthink a out certain things (for example like how other people view me or if my hair looks good when I go outside)but I still get affected by it.I sometimes find myself giving my friends mental health advice that I should personally take myself.I overanalyze things so much that sometimes during my thinking I literally think of how stupid I am for overthinking.

Have you ever felt like you just want to stop existing?Like not actually hurt yourself,Just disappear completely.I just want to isolate myself but at the same time I still want to talk to people even If I only have a few.Theres random times when I wake up in the middle of the night and start to think about past experiences I've had in my life and then start crying.I don't understand why I always do this when I'm Midway through my sleep.

Sometimes I think that I'm different from people.I don't really know In what aspect but the way I perceive things is different from others and I notice that in school.I always stay quiet in class I never talk to anyone really except from when I'm with my Friends at break(My friends aren't in my classes).I really want to write more about all of these thoughts I'm having but it's just that every time I overthink thoughts just come and go.I don't how to explain it but sometimes I can forget about something I've overhthinked and suddenly after some days that thought will appear.

If you read this thank you it writing these really helps me calm down sometimes🙂

Does anybody else make bets with themselves in their minds while doing things? I’ve just kind of realised today how often I’m playing this lil game with myself, today I was walking to the letter box and a car was behind me coming up. I decided within a split second that I must get to the letter box before the car passes me otherwise I’ve lost. And the other day I was like “bet I can’t feed the cats before the microwave goes off”. I bet right Surely there are others, are we just super competitive? What do we all have in common?

I know a lot of people complain it's bitter or metallic tasting, but I just don't taste anything. Not sweet, not bitter, not acrid... nothing. I tried some lemonade sweetened with it today and all I got was lemon flavor and citric acidity with no sweetness whatsoever.

I've tried other things with it and if there's ever a bitter flavor, it's from other ingredients and the fact there's no sweetness to cancel them out. If I sprinkle some straight Stevia in my mouth, I get a very mild cooling sensation, but zero flavor. Is my tongue missing something?

Whenever I start talking to a women I see as a potential love interest (girlfriend) essentially something that isn’t a one night stand type thing all sexual feelings toward the love intrest disappears and overall libido for at least a while, was wondering if anybody else has this.

Since I was young, I have needed a quilt to fall asleep. It needs to be cold and I need to run my fingers along the corners until I warm them or I can’t sleep. As I’ve gotten older, I can sleepover friends places without doing this, but I always feel like something is missing and it takes me significantly longer to fall asleep.

There are specific quilts that are best. Currently one from Target is my go to and my partner has purchased one for their apartment for me.

My friends know about it and I’m not ashamed about it at all. I’m sure there is some type of reason I do it but I really don’t care. I’m curious if anyone does something similar?

Realized for some reason I have a tradition of crying on Christmas, regardless of my plans or what I'm up to. It's never about anything specific. Granted I do have some mental health conditions, but wondering if anyone else experiences a rush of sadness or melancholy on the holiday just because (aside from trauma or triggers).

I was walking around the mall, for exercise because it is cold out, and stopped in a store and found a necklace for $1 I thought was nice. (It’s a close out store where everything is priced cheap to sell.)When I got out my wallet to pay the girl sneered at me and said”Really? CASH?” I just said yes and stared at her holding it out. Is cash something to sneer at now or was it just the brat that waited on me?

Whenever I have a good yawn, I often get a taste in my mouth for something I have eaten and immediately go oh I could go for some... Anyone else experience this?

Worry and tension used to consume a significant part of my day, leading to constant rumination and difficulty focusing. Attempts to ignore these worries and push myself to work often resulted in overwhelming frustration and anger, sometimes causing me to scream or even harm myself. However, I've recently started focusing on finding practical solutions to the things that stress me out by sharing my worries and seeking advice on Reddit, and it’s made a huge difference. Surprisingly, this approach has been far more effective for me than self-help books or videos. Does anyone else experience something similar? Any insights from those with a psychology background or personal experience would be really appreciated!

Went to Christmas at my sisters house.

At breakfast they served coffee and other breakfast foods.

My girlfriend does not drink coffee but she drinks caffeinated drinks from Starbucks that are not coffee, so she ate breakfast and after breakfast I asked my father if we can stop on the long drive home at Starbucks, and he said no as he wasn’t willing to stop. I then asked to borrow the car as we drove together as a family and we went to pick up Starbucks.

When we got back to my sisters house to say goodbye I had a bit of a disagreement with my sister, she said she would never leave someone’s house to go get a drink, especially when your a guest in someone’s home. My father had the most disappointment and gave me a hard time about getting my girlfriend a drink for the ride home. He said it was rude.

What are your thoughts, are me and my girlfriend impolite?

I suddenly can't stand touching certain clothing materials. Also I don't know how to explain it exactly but I can't stand seeing/ feeling skin (especially fingertips) I can't even look when someone peels the skin off their finger in front of me. Sometimes when someone holds my hand and all i can feel is their fingertips. This feeling didn't exist a few years ago and I don't know why it suddenly appeared. I used to have this problem with veins and I couldn't even touch or look the veins on my wrist but now lucky it's not that bad. Does anyone know why this is happening and why are they changing?

Just a little thing I do now and then, sometimes when I'm watching a film or series I think about where I was/what I was doing whilst a certain scene was being filmed. It's especially fun to think about when I know the film/show was filmed when I was a child.

I live 9 hours from my family and I only get to see them once or twice a year. I came to visit them for Christmas and most of the week I was holding back tears anticipating leaving. I used to live only two hours from my family and I could wait til I got in my car to cry. Now I burst out crying even before I start hugging everyone goodbye. I will even cry days before I have to leave. Today was supposed to be my last day spent with everyone, but I decided to leave early because I woke up crying. (Me and my boyfriend were staying in a hotel). I knew if I went back to see them today I would cry the entire time. I even had one of my friends stop by the hotel real quick and I burst into tears as soon as I saw her. I know it doesn’t make sense for me to leave early when I miss them, but I didn’t want to cry the entire time.

Side note- I do consider myself a highly sensitive person. And I’m also on my period right now, which doesn’t help.

I love my family and I miss them but my emotions hinder me. I don’t want to cry so much. The time I did spend with them I tried to stay present and enjoy the moment but it was very hard at times. Is anyone else like this?

I know alot of people are talking about time being wierd and life being wierd post covid. But for me this has always been an issue, The other day a friend asked me ''do you remeber what it felt to be 13'' and I thaught about it. Kid you not I genuinely do not remember how it was like when I was 13 years old (5 years ago now). I cant recall any memories from back then, so I looked at other years of my life, and it just feels like I have got a few sprinkled memories here and there but they are rare as heck. It seems that my whole life Ive just been coasting and not doing much according to my memories? Is this normal?

I’m talking no pushing. Just relaxing your muscles and let gravity do the rest!!! Amazing!!!
