Sometimes people want to verbalize how they think or feel. It’s human nature.

So it…worked? 🙃

Sorry about all that, man. I’m glad you’re still here and I hope things have been better since.

Me when I talk to chatgpt

Twins! Means it’s easy to doxx me tho lol.

How did you get this pic of me

Huh? Chronic infections? Do you have a source on this? Sounds like things I’ve heard to get you to buy whatever flavor of snake oil treatment of the week there is.

Most people probably just need to be more active and eat healthier.

I have absolutely never had this issue with Taco Bell, but I do with coffee. And the unfortunate thing is that I love the taste of coffee and have it daily. But my colon hates it :(. And no, it’s not a dairy issue or even a caffeine issue…happens with black coffee, decaf, non dairy creamer, etc.

But yeah I could have mounds of Taco Bell with no issues lol. Too bad I don’t have that every day instead.

Or suffer my cuuuuurse

I flinch at that and I don’t like hugs but I’ve actually never been abused lol I’m just a weirdo I guess!

I have to use a headset all day for work for work. When I have Teams open on my computer, it occasionally decides to completely break my microphone until I close Teams. No idea why the fuck it does that or how Microsoft manages to mess up voice input for a program that uses voice input…

Yeah…I’ve always found it odd how internet dwellers seem to completely ignore the mentall illness and drug issues that cause and exacerbate much of homelessness.

That’s not to say we shouldn’t be compassionate, but the issue is a hell of a lot more complex than just giving them a house and nothing else.

I just turned off and uninstalled One Drive when I got Windows 11 and have had zero issues

Any time I see Dr. Oz, I immediately disregard anything as snake oil. The man is a terrible human being…preying on the desperate so he can line his pockets with more cash. He was already a very successful surgeon making boatloads of money. How much of a greedy asshole can you be to then start lying to people to get more when you’re already rich?

I saw in a patient’s chart recently that they were unable to perform a breast biopsy because her breasts were too small. I was like goddamn.

I’m assuming since you’re older now, you’re out of that environment, yeah? It’s one silver lining in things I guess. If your teddy bear were sentient I’m sure it would have hugged you back and told you everything was gonna be ok.

Honestly, for me it’s a bit weird. I’ve actually forgotten a lot of the specifics of my childhood. I know my dad would do it, but I don’t really remember any specific moments in time or what my responses were. Memory is a weird thing like that. I guess because it was so long ago or something. Dunno.

Aww I’m sorry that both of your parents were like that. Luckily my mom is a very sweet person.

And hey! I’m a fellow computer dork too! I’m nowhere near the level of knowledge of many Lemmy users, but I’ve always been a casual tech/gadget fan since I was a kid. But somehow I never fully built my own PC until just the other day. Was actually a pretty simple process and things today are so much better at plug and play as opposed to long ago. Hope you’re still enjoying being a tech nerd haha!

I get that having problems is not unique and everyone has their own. Some people have worse or more numerous ones. Some people have fewer or less severe ones. Some people may share some of the same problems as you. Some people may not.

But one thing that is sometimes frustrating for me is that my particular set of problems makes it more difficult to connect with others and can be a bit more isolating than other kinds of problems. When your problems are social and/or sexual in nature, they affect your ability to have relationships (both platonic and romantic), which can be more isolating than other types of problems can be.

I am lucky to have a small, but fairly stable set of a handful of friends right now, but that hasn’t always been the case. Growing up, I struggled a lot more than my peers to socialize and ended up as the loner kid at school who hardly said much and ate alone at lunch. Nowadays, I’m a lot happier, but things like romantic relationships are completely off the table.

Humans are messed up in general so it’s probably common enough tbh. My childhood was a bit different though. The arguing was never mutual. It was always my dad screaming at my mom while she sits there and takes it. I remember realizing that was abnormal by watching media growing up… realizing that couples are supposed to love each other and that fights are generally a mutual experience, not just one person belittling the other.

Anyway sorry that was oversharing lol

As a socially anxious person, I absolutely love self checkout. Unless I have like a zillion items, then I use regular checkout.
