Please try August Uncommon Teas. August.la is the link. I raved about them to a friend who honestly became annoyed with me going on about them. Then, tried them. She called me and was like, “Oh, shit. Nico was right.”

So THAT’S why it’s always so high-quality.

No suggestions. I just wanna know what the answer ends up being that fixes it for you.

“You’re all assholes too? Psh, then why am I pretending not to be?!”

As somebody with social anxiety, it sounds like your MIL also has social anxiety. Hence, the constant need to have to reinforce that other people can stand her. I had to train this out of myself in my late teens/early 20s.

I know it’s annoying to deal with, but showing a little compassion and simply affirming that you’re exhausted but her relationship with you is secure will go a long way for her. She’ll probably get used to you being quiet around her too.

I think it’s really ironic when I see these memes, because it highlights how our own heads will highlight the things that grate against our own nerves.

I assume everybody that this resonates with resonates with it because they themselves have been told to go against their nature and wanna know why the other side hasn’t.

I’m the other end of that spectrum. I promise you, people told me all that. “Mind your peers. Share the space. Stop being…so much. Learn to be comfortable in silences. What can’t you shut the fuck up?”

I have autism, so I didn’t understand why I was always screwing it up. I also hated hearing, “Be yourself. People will like you for who you are,” because I found that when I stopped trying to mask, I’d immediately hear all of the above all over again.

If you click the line, there’s a video interview with the guy that line is about. Apparently, that line caused a rift between him and Biggie. Wonder why?

Meteors was fantastic! But yes, after that, it kinda fell off.

Such a good film!

Not cause of your age. I got told that all the time in high school! And college. And after college.

Anyway, I eventually got a partner, but having a consecutive string of meeting romantically incompatible potential partners is not age dependent.

They’re saying they shouldn’t be. Unless you’re trying to say their statement is redundant?

I don’t know. The identical faces adds some humor to me.

Thank you for sharing. I now grasp the disConnect.

I’m using Connect.

Is the display different for others? Mine shows the word balloon on top but the text on the bottom instead.

I’m so sad this will never be me. 😭

Why is this getting down voted?

As annoying as this is, it’s to prevent LLMs from training themselves using Reddit content, and that’s probably the greater of the two evils.

Thank you.

I went to Rotten Tomatoes to read the reviews. Had me cracking up with how negative they were. Lol
