    People need to write more joyful books for adults.

    While some might argue that memes have gotten “weirder” over the years, if you take a trip back in time and go through the internet of the '90s and early 2000s, you’ll find that things were already a tad strange, unusual, and niche. Dancing animals, the often incomprehensible-to-outsiders rage comics, and inside jokes on top of inside jokes. 

    The truth is, the speed and ease of use the internet brings allows basically every community with a common language (or even concepts) to create and share memes among itself. This is why every demographic, fandom, and profession has a meme page just for it.

    Absolutely. And it doesn't even have to be a New Year's resolution. I have set myself challenges that every month I have to watch one documentary. Or how many different genres of movies I can watch in a year. Different music styles, food culture of different countries, etc. A month when I dedicate myself to the history of art, architecture... The possibilities are endless and at the same time you learn something new.

    This is hilarious. I'm glad they realize they are funny (or are at least having fun).

    What role? To prevent her goddaughter finding her true love, even if it happens to be an ogre.

    Someone else’s anxiety has the effect of canceling your own. Your sensitivity and drive to nurture others takes over, and you become the strongest and most capable person in the world. It’s like when everyone is freaking out over something, there’s always one person who always immediately becomes the only rational, coolheaded grownup in the room, who then calms everyone down by coming up with an excellent plan. You’re absolutely fine—-and human, because it’s a human thing to do.

    I don’t have anxiety anymore, but as an introvert I still feel like disappearing if the focus is on me. But, if a friend needs something then yes, sure I can also Do The Thing Too. But if it was just for me? No effing way 😆

    I think it's because sometimes we're taught that being 'selfish' is a completely bad thing, and helping other's in a completely good thing. Therefore, you may feel better helping a friend because it's considered socially correct, but feel guilty for helping yourself because selfishness is bad. If anything, a certain amount of selfishness is needed to take care of yourself, it's only bad when your selfishness hurts others.

    Relatable. I find it hard to stand up for myself but if a friend is being mistreated then the warrior in me will suddenly take over.

    It's simple, you aren't anxious about asking on another person's behalf because it doesn't seem like you're the one "complaining".

    Yup. In general I'm terrible when it comes to me. But helping or advocating for someone else? I'm all over that.

    I call it 'feel this for me so I don't have to'. It works with all emotions! Anger? I'm chill. Panic? I'm zen. Fear? I'm about to punch a dude in a scream mask...

    This happened a bit when I was travelling across Canada with my sister! Thankfully there were times when she took charge because I wasn't up to it too. It also happens when I'm at work. If the kids find an insect or whatever, I bravely get a cup and take it outside. At home I just spray them (except for spiders, I'm happy to live with them)

    Relatable. I got rat phobia (because I grew up seeing nasty sewer city rats). But I would hold it in and lead others crossing those.

    I think that might be so also because when it's you, you aren't sure if your request, complaint, etc. is reasonable, but if it's someone else and you agree with them, you can Do The Thing

    I have a different problem. I'm extroverted (in certain situations) so don't hesitate to speak up (despite being often the only female in the room). What happens in meetings is people come up behind me and ask me to ask questions they have because I won't be cowed by "experts" unless they have the data to back the expertise. Either way, we either uncover a problem or get the answers.

    I too have this and I think it is because my *more* anxious friends will be so grateful for me taking the lead that I will 100% be doing good in their book even if I do it wrong, therefore there is no risk.

    Ihade a friend let his on grade school. If I had a question he would ask the teacher, and vice versa.

    Me too, I'm scared of everything and find it really difficult to be assertive, but if a friend is scared, I go into protector mode and become fearless. So weird :)

    How hard is it to ask for more ketchup? Honestly. We're all human beings. It's okay to ask for more ketchup.

    I am sorry but I seriously can't wrap my head around the fact that people can't built the IKEA furniture... It is so so easy with step by step instructions, pictures.... How can someone fail at this.. (no need to answer. I seriously lack the imagination of not understanding too put part A to Part A....)

    As a parent of an adult who is neurodivergent, I always wondered if organizations ever consulted with people who were neurodivergent on doing this if it would affect them in any negative way like it did this one individual. My daughter used to always ask me if we could please turn off the porch lights for the people who put blue bulbs in.
