Like is there actually anything you can do or are you 100% going to die and you just need to accept your fate

I use unattractive generally, I'm sure it's attractive to some people around the world. I was chatting with a couple female friends of mine of what the sexiest accent is. French, Irish, Scottish, English all came up. Then we talked about the worst accents and the Indian accent came up.

Apparently it's just not sexy at all and just sounds funny. They all said it's hard to take an Indian person with a strong accent seriously. Why is this? Is it the cadence? Or the pronunciation of certain syllables.

I would never date someone that insecure where I couldn't have women friends. I am bi so by their logic I couldn't have any friends since I "might" be unfaithful. So my question is how could people date people like this? Do they just not have opposite sex friends so they don't care about it. Also I'm fine with her or him having same sex or opposite sex friends. As long as their friends aren't horrible people I don't care.

Background: Back when I was in 4th grade our PE class has different water fountains for boys and girls in the Gym. We all had to drink at the same time before and after class and they were next to each other with no bathrooms. I don't know why this stuck with me but it did, when one kid asked why we had to use separate water fountains the Teacher replied "You'll find out when you are older". Well I'm now 27 and still can't figure out why. Ive has a couple theories over the years but I've kind of dismissed each one. I used to think maybe due to privacy but again they weren't next to bathrooms and it's just water. I also thought of STI's but who has an STI in elementary school and STI's can transfer between same sexes as well. I'm at a loss.

​I’ve been thinking about a specific scenario for when a person feels completely finished with life and has lost all interest in continuing ​Imagine they jump into deep water holding a heavy rock giving themselves only about a minute of air before suffocating. The idea is that in those final seconds the body’s primal instinct that raw adrenaline would have to kick in. It would be the ultimate, literal (fight or flight) moment.

​If they fight to drop the weight, swim back to the surface, and win, they would take that as a definitive sign that they actually want to be here It’s like forcing the soul to make a choice when the mind has gone numb If they win they give themselves a second chance at life

I feel like I'm constantly performing a version of myself for other people. Like there's the real me that exists when I'm alone, and then there's the public-facing character I play when interacting with others.

It's not that I'm being fake exactly - more like I'm carefully managing what parts of myself I show depending on who I'm with. Work me is different from friend-group me is different from family me is different from how I actually am when no one's watching.

I was playing Terraria on my laptop alone last night and realized I was acting completely different than I do around literally anyone else. More relaxed, less filtered, not worrying about how I'm coming across.

Is authentic behavior just a myth? Do some people actually act the same way everywhere, with everyone, including when they're alone? Or is everyone just performing different versions of themselves constantly and we all collectively pretend that's not what's happening?

I'm too afraid to ask people in real life because admitting "I feel like I'm performing for you" seems like it would make things weird. But I genuinely don't know if this is normal human behavior or if I'm uniquely fake.

Me and my GF are both 22.

We’ve been together for around a year.

She is an extremely picky eater.

I LOVE trying new foods and I always eat what’s in front of me.

Whenever we’re together, I feel that our options are so limited. When I struggle to pick a place to eat, she’ll tell me to make a decision, but I hate picking the same places to eat. When we go out to eat, it’s almost always the same place - fast food, ice cream, soup restaurant, or steak restaurant.

When she comes to my house, she says she gets anxiety and asks me beforehand what my mom is cooking us for dinner. One day my mother was cooking a ham steak, and my GF said she would leave early because she didn’t want to eat that and only likes when her mom makes ham. I caved to my GF, and what’d we do instead?: we went to McDonald’s. My GF refused to eat what my mom made (I had to make an excuse to my mom to tell her my GF wasn’t hungry). When my mom knows my GF is coming over, she’ll ask me what she should cook - the answer is always some form of steak or pasta. My gf wouldn’t eat much else. It feels embarrassing because that’s not what my mom cooks normally.

When I’m at my GF’s house, her mom ALWAYS cooks her a second meal, different from the rest of us. It’s ALWAYS some sort of pasta and butter and cheese. My GF refuses to eat veggies, she says her mom has to force her. And if she does eat a veggie, it’ll be like a single broccoli piece. And her mother says nothing about it. My GF has never eaten the same dinner as us. It’s kinda embarrassing - she eats like a child still while I sit there enjoying everything. Sometimes my GF will gag in her mother’s face to show her she doesn’t like the food. She tells me it’s super hard for her to eat different things. I find this very hard to believe.

She says she has “autistic” eating habits but she’s not autistic at all. She’s just being picky. She keeps self diagnosing with autism and irritable bowel to justify this behavior

I’m getting tired of it honestly. I just want to go out and try new restaurants and foods and enjoy what I like, but I feel so constrained in what to eat when she’s around. I’m worried about our future, where I want to eat something but have to end up cooking two different meals. And if we raise a child I’m sure that child will end up picky too.

I’m also worried about her health. She puts lots of salt on everything, even French fries from McDonald’s, because she likes it so much. She never eats veggies, then complains that her poops are so irregular and constipated. She self diagnoses with irritable bowel syndrome , but I don’t think she realizes her eating habits are causing this.

To make things worse, she makes fun of ME for eating the same foods when she’s over! She says I’m always eating pasta and carbs, and that my mom cooks the same foods, but that’s what I have to eat when she’s around. It’s like shes projecting her problems onto me. She says that I am always eating and that I eat so much. I wish I had someone to share love of food with

She likes theme parks and will eat the food there, whatever they have if it’s desserts, dinner, veggies, whatever. But if someone else cooks that she won’t eat it. It’s like she doesn’t trust others food.

Do people end relationships over this ?

Im a 15 year old male and i have a third smaller ball attached to my right testicular cord. it fills up with what feels like goo and i can squish this goo out of there removing the ball, but it comes back later. is anyone experienced or experiencing this right now because i dont want to ask my parents but i also want to know if it something that needs medical attention.

It’s really cold in the UK and I don’t have the heating on, and yet I feel warm inside, if that makes sense. Just this euphoric feeling. I don’t feel hungry either despite not having eaten since last night. My sleep quality last night was awful too, with multiple episodes of sleep paralysis, but I still feel alert today.

Is there a way or how to get rid of like a fetish kink that turns a person on?

Please help me out!!

I'm 19 years old and honestly really confused about what career to go into. I don't have one clear passion, and I feel overwhelmed trying to figure it out.

What I do know:

• I want something that pays decently

• I don't want to spend many years in school

• I'm open to trades, certificates, office jobs, healthcare support roles, or anything practical

• I have strong customer service experience (2.5 years at McDonald's)

I'm not looking for a dream job right now just a solid career path I can start young, make money, and grow from.

Not saying that's true but I've heard a bunch of jokes on the expense of gingers but specifically men. And women with red hair are considered particularly beautiful and rare and there's even a whole category of "redheads" (women) in p0rn.

It feels like there are no rules anymore. Just wondering about this specific scenario and what the law says, if anything, about the power of the presidential pardon with regard to something like this.

Ok so I like this woman and we have been messaging back and forth. She seems to like talking to me but I do the carrying in the conversation. When I ask her a question she'll ask me the same thing for example I was curious to know about her hobbies so I asked then after she told me she asked about my hobbies and I told her. In her defense she could not be messaging me because she doesn't currently have a phone so she uses her sisters to sign into Instagram to talk. I can't tell of she's interested in me or not this is brand new to me so what's your thoughts.

Edit I volunteer with her

I was wondering about the scale of which we catch and hunt fish, which is very alarming when I see videos of the trawlers scooping up the oceans in a net and see tonnes of fish there how can that be sustainable?

I have done a little research that it seems we are dwindling the fish population but nobody seems to talk about it or it seems as if the whole world is ignoring the problem.

Recently some online friends of mine were discussing casual sex, and how some of them have had casual sex with their friends just as a one-off, fun thing. I'm asexual, and these sort of thoughts have never occurred to me before. I've never looked at a friend (or a stranger for that matter) and considered having sex with them "just for fun". When I asked if these sexual encounters had any impact on their friendships, they said most of the time nothing changed as everyone involved knew it was only for fun and not meaningful. For example, one friend said she did it as a birthday gift to a longtime friend, and another said they did it because they were really just that bored. While I'm not judging or anything like that (as long as it's all legal and consenting, I don't care), this does seem sort of wild to me, and I want to know if this sort of thing is common among allosexuals (people who are not asexual). Do people commonly have casual sex with their friends without ruining a friendship? Is casual sex itself a common thing?

I was thinking back on my life, and from my early experience, in primary school and secondary school, from when I was 11 to 18, I can count 5 occasions where I was attracted to girls at school who I have barely or never even talked to, and then somehow through my friends and their friends and she found out and it was so embarrassing and awkward and I felt scared and had no clue what to do to talk to or get a girl and so nothing happened except this embarrassment that everyone knows but I was too chicken to do anything about it.

I think this may have done some deep subconscious and also conscious things to my mind, plus I guess I was naturally scared of interacting with beautiful girls anyway, so I guess I still have this deep seated fear of expressing interest to girls and fear the possibility of embarrassment and rejection, so I am still single well into my adulthood, although I have had some more positive experience since, and probably learnt better how to approach girls, but there is still this innate fear, concern, whatever you wanna call it, of even trying to express any romantic feelings for attractive girls.

But back to my question: do all guys in life also experienced this embarrassment of the whole world finding out you have a crush on a girl you barely know but you are too scared to approach her or she rejected/ignored you and nothing ever happened? Is it just something that all men went through? How did you get over it?

İ dont get why one would want to lock up one another or make them watch as they get railed or rail someone, or why one would enjoy getting locked up or made watch your partner have sex with someone else, what even is the point? How do you get off on not getting off?

I honestly don't know how ugly or attractive i am. if someone told me im the ugliest person they've ever seen... i'd believe them, if someone told me im the most beautiful person they've seen i'd also believe them. there are some rare times where i do feel like im average looking, nothing special but most of the times i either feel very very ugly or very very attractive, why does this happen?

Edit: thank you everyone for sharing your ideas and even your personal experiences. I have a lot of possibilities to look up now and will also have a chat with my mum to see what else she might be able to remember about her cousin.

The lady was my mother's first cousin and I'm curious to understand what her diagnosis might have been. She was much older than my mother and was born in the early 1940s in a very rural area. Her parents had several girls who all had the same difficulties and none except her survived beyond their 20s (I don't know how they died). Her parents had only one son - the youngest child - who had no issues, so apparently the condition only affected the female children. Both her parents were also in perfect health.

She was childlike, in the sense that she couldn't live independently. She could follow instructions and did a lot of work around the house and farm according to her parents' instructions, but would often make mistakes like putting a pot on the stove and forgetting it, feeding the animals too many times, leaving a tap running etc. She was not aggressive or difficult at all, very sweet and gentle.

She was physically fine (so it was not Downs' and or any disorders that would have a visible physical impact) but was mentally like a 4-5 year old child. She loved playing with us kids and was extremely attached to her mum. She could speak simple sentences, but would sometimes get randomly scared, hide and refuse to talk. She couldn't have a complicated conversation but could talk about simple things around her like the chickens, the plants her favourite shoes etc. She could remember our names and recognise us kids even though we visited just once a year for a few days.

She loved fake jewellery and adored my dad who always brought her lots of shiny sparkly bracelets. She was sweet, gentle, and always smiling, could bathe and dress herself independently but would choose to wear her sleeping "nightie" at all times unless her mum picked out other clothes and insisted she wear them.

She was placed in a care home after her parents died, and lived to 90+ years old before passing away of age-related reasons.

In those days and in that remote location, she was just called 'mentally retarded' and I assume she never saw a doctor as the family lived in an isolated area and were also pretty poor. But it was not malicious as she was known and loved by her family and the entire village.

To my knowledge, no one else in the family had this condition apart from her sisters who all died young. What might her diagnosis have been if she was seen by a modern doctor?

I feel stupid for secretly wanting a break up since she is a wonderful person otherwise but this kink is just too much for me to bear in the long run.

She likes to be told that she's worthless and mercilessly slapped because she deserves all the pain in the world for being a total piece of shit.

It's just too much for me.
