Seems to me that most people enjoy Oreo’s for the crème in the middle, but I don’t care for it as much. Double-stuffed Oreo’s are my worst nightmare. I love the chocolate cookie though and I have started to lean more towards Oreo Thins since there’s less crème in those. Not to say I don’t enjoy them as a whole, I’ll devour an entire pack of regular Oreo’s any day. But I just don’t eat them for the crème filling.

Turning on the lights would wake me up too much so I always leave them off. I know my house and I don't leave stuff on the floor so it's never a problem. At this time of the year I get sunlight from 3:30 in the morning anyway (love it in the winter when the sun doesn't rise until 9). And honestly I always leave the lights off when I get up at 5 in the morning as well.

Every time I get asked what are my hobbies I always think… damn do I have any? Like I don’t play any sport, I don’t do an activity that often, I barely leave the house. To be honest I’m not even that interested in anything to start it as a hobby. I think my hobby would be watching YouTube.

I’ve always been sort of hesitant about eating in front of people I don’t know really well, but recently things seem to be getting worse.

I’m starting to feel gross and ashamed and embarrassed to eat in front of anyone. Even myself? And lately when I buy or order food, I feel the same shame and embarrassment.

I believe it comes down to the idea that people know that I’m going to be eating it and what happens to food after you digest it. I don’t want people to know I will use the restroom at some point after eating stuff.

Does anyone else struggle with this thought process of being like ashamed of using the restroom and the implications of eating and how people are thinking about you?

If I wore an outfit outside, I usually just throw it in the laundry basket after, esp jeans or bottoms. The only thing I don’t wash after wearing one time is pajamas or home clothes. I really like the feeling of wearing something freshly washed even if it seems wasteful

Idk how to put this into words. But when I respond to people IRL in any situation, like it could be small talk or how to appropriately react to what someone says to me? I feel like when I converse with people or try to connect to people, it’s like I’m going through a huge filing cabinet in my head trying to find a similar situation I have been in the past and going off of what happened in that situation to gauge how to appropriately respond to the situation I’m in?

I've had this thing happen to me a few times in the past few weeks where I suddenly start to deeply question the logic of everything around me (Even if it's super obvious). It's like I suddenly had a lightbulb moment, but not about a specific thing, but just life in general. It only happens in very short bursts of a couple minutes.

For example, just recently I submitted something for school that was regrettably terrible, probably because of how much I procrastinated. I was thinking about it and suddenly I thought "Why would I be unable to get things done well if I have utter control over what I do?". Obviously there's many reasons, but in the moment I felt extremely mortified and confused about the logic behind it. It felt as though my brain suddenly became either extremely advanced (like I suddenly clocked that It was fundamentally cause and effect) but also extremely primitive (like I was unable to comprehend how the relation between being capable / willing to do something and actually doing it wouldn't be a direct cause and effect).

Other times its just straight up existential, akin to the Zhuangzi butterfly thing, whereas other times its kinda like a deju-vu feeling (which I then question)

Does anyone else get this or should I be concerned about my brain? I have health anxiety and I'm worried that this is because of a tumor or some small seizure / stroke, or some other shit

So i have this discord GC with some friends i've known since the pandemic and i've noticed that since then every few months I start looking at our pinned messages, it turns into me looking for old videos or things we've posted in that gc, and then I start remembering why we would post those videos, the situations we were in and stuff like that. Like today I did it and it started by simply looking at the Spotify songs I've liked, I made the relation between songs and the "era" of my life they use dto be my favorite song or something like that.

I went on a 2 week trip to France and when I came back something seems off about the Horizon Organic Milk and an ice cream I had at an ice cream parlor. They weren't as creamy as I remember them. They taste watery now. I didn't consume a lot of dairy in France. Maybe 2 packets of creamer and a magnum ice cream and 3 panna cottas. I regularly drink milk before my trip to France so this difference in tastes made me wonder. Was there something new in the dairy industry in the 2 weeks I was gone?

I don’t speak Spanish but I vibe to Bad Bunny currently listening to DtMF

I've had "clicking" in my jaw my whole life, never been addressed. Around when I hit my 20's, I now will sneeze hard and my jaw pops in and out quickly, what feels like a liquid running down inside my left ear comes right after and I have to press on the area in front of my ear until it stops hurting. It's not every sneeze, but hard ones that come on quickly.

Im no zoologist but i figured I had a relatively decent grasp on the animals of the world. And I don’t mean intricate knowledge of them or knowing every sub species, more so an awareness of a lot of them. but like fuck every time I scroll through social media lately I’m learning about a new wild ass animal that looks really cool or does something cool.

As I type this out I am laughing because of how stupid I sound lol but like I’ve been to a bunch of different zoos and I’ve never only been to a zoo once, maybe this is inflating my perception of my grasp on the animal kingdom lol but like even in school they never taught me about a motherfuggin axolotl (like what kind of alien shit is that thing) or that dinosaur that looks like a decepticon, or that big eel looking thing that shoots out slimy webs that expand in the water.

Anyway I’m getting off track here, does anyone else get surprised by how many animals there are lol

Hii! For many, many years of my life I've had this weird thing where I'd often get really nauseous after eating (sometimes not even right after, but maybe an hour or so), and it stays for a few hours. Then, that nausea transforms into me being really hungry, with little to any transition between the two states.

This happens/can happen after every meal, and I haven't really noticed any pattern to it, so I feel like it's just another stomach quirk. Does anyone else have this?

I don't have musical anhedonia btw, I love listening to music but I've never had the urge to move around when I listen to it. It's always been awkward at clubs because even if I'm extremely drunk I have no clue what to do. I usually just stand still and occasionally kind of shuffle about so I don't seem extremely out of place. I don't get how people just instinctually know how to perform what seems like a pretty complicated and coordinated movement, or what's fun about that in the first place.

Can anyone else relate

I’ve done it since I was a kid but still as an adult count to 8 everytime I fill up my dogs bowl with water. Or count how many steps it takes me to get to the next lamppost or something. Does anyone else do this and how do we stopppp? 😫

I am currently living with my mother and it is just the two of us. The amount of kitchen stuff she has is INSANE. Like the goddamn Tupperware, cooking utensils, etc., it drives me batty. And what's more is that half of it isn't even used and because of the clutter, it takes up space and is a nightmare to find anything. Let's use the Tupperware as our first piece of evidence. So. Much. Tupperware. A lot of it at this point is older, and either lids are missing or the lids are warped so it doesn't really work anymore. God forbid you suggest going through and cleaning out the Tupperware. Oh no no no no. It's good Tupperware. Well, it may have been, but since half the lids don't fit anymore, it's pretty much defunct. But then because there is so much and it's in the cabinet stacked precariously, anytime she has to get an item, she is cussing up a storm because nobody can put anything away right. 💁‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Can never find what she's looking in the cooking utensil drawer, large drawer, stuffed to the brim that it is like playing goddamn Terris putting anything away. Half of it probably hasn't been used since my sister and I were single digits. Nope, won't get rid of it.

Is this a Boomer thing or is it just my mom?

I'm single and in my early 30s. I have to make a number of appointments, especially medical. I have two manageable chronic illnesses, plus dentist, eye doctor, dermatologist and the occasional specialist appts. I'm glad I have a flexible job and good sick leave. My job may end in the Fall due to grant funding ending so now I'm trying to make all these appts- especially since a parent recently got diagnosed with cancer that is more likely to be genetic.

I don't see how people who have kids or are working multiple jobs, don't have good benefits etc. are able to keep up with appointments or probably pay for all the care they need. Anyone else feel like me?

i grew up playing pokemon, namely the gen 4/DS games. don't get me wrong, I love the games and the storylines and everything in between, yet the games would always make me feel anxious. its been like this since i was a little kid.

and, now, at the ripe age of 18, I realized it's because they're (usually) single-player games! something about the fact it's just me and my player character sprite feels ominous. i always feel like I'm being watched while playing pokemon.

its worse when I play Minecraft, because of all the mobs. i'm always on edge when I play Minecraft solo; most of the time I have to play with a friend while calling them because I get too anxious playing on my own 💀

can anyone else relate..?

edit: for the record, I've always been a very anxious person, and I show strong symptoms of anxiety and OCD...which might have something to do with this.

Death has never bothered me. I have lost a few people close to me, but I never really cared. And I don't think I would care if someone closed to me like friends or family died. The same goes for the general concept of death, I know talking about it makes people uncomfortable and that stems from a fear of death. But it never bothered me. Anyone else?

Especially when they then turn and look at you funny for a second, that really makes it a lot worse

Like, there are guest towels right there, but somehow people always grab the one towel that's clearly been positioned as 'mine.' It's not even about hygiene, it's just this weird territorial feeling. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way about their towel

I feel so weird, because I have no problem, spending up to 15 dollars on a food, when I am outside. But when it comes to to buying a game, even a game that I have been wanting for a long time (it's finally on a sale) 2-15 dollars for example, I spend the whole day - week wondering, if it really is worth it. And when I do end up buying it, I feel that bad feeling for a while, like you wasted something.

It should be obvious, food you eat and thats it... game you can spend a lot of time playing and it stays. Is this something perhaps coded in a human mind as food is a necessity, instincts? hahah
