I once had an idea that since I don't like large numbers of people out bright sunlight, I could wear a black cloak and mutter. The cowl stops sunlight and people avoid me because they think I'm an insane cultist

I hate it. Too overwhelming, I hate all that input. I can't focus on anything if there's too much noise

yep. Nobody is deserving of me expending my energy to argue with them.

I admire your strength. Go you!

And definitely nothing past 9 that requires a bra & shoes.

I agree-food should be enjoyable . As I've got older, I've got far less rigid about meals: if I feel like eating a beef sandwich for breakfast and a bowl of oatmeal for dinner I will do.

Ah... can't seem to stop this one though, even when I try.

I love it when someone doesn’t listen to me and they do something dumb and I get to see them get in trouble or something worse

I'm through with wearing high heels, makeup everyday, most jewelry, tightly bound hairstyles. I can barely tolerate jeans.

Yep - this is true. Going on holiday is an adventure. The great toilet tour is a thing

Another thing I am pretty sure I have is heat intolerance, I cannot stand being in the heat for at least ten minutes, I will boil alive, it’s even worse because I live in Florida

S**t happens. I've learned it's actually better to just admit you slept in. It happens to most people time to time. As long as you get right into your work all should be okay.

We're really hoping we'll have enough money to buy a house in the middle of nowhere, whee the only sounds will be the rain, birds and buzzing of bees.

Seems like my body is trying to catch up on all the missed sleep from those all nighters.

Way too many people outside. I want to bring back the garden hermit trend from 15th century England where I can get paid for being antisocial

Yep. I've started doing this long time ago, with a friend I thought my best friend. 🤷‍♀️

I can sit on the floor it's getting up that is the problem

not to mention these teenagers who aren't even old enough to drive are getting absolutly beat up by supervilllans who are way older than them. and at the end of the movie they are just happy and relieved instead of traumatized. the plot is amazing but i wish they would make it a little more realistic.

Or move anywhere with a Home Owners Association. Nothing like a self-appointed government to ruin your day.

Pointless anyway. I'd rather not waste time or money on alcohol.

I don't want to have to work past the age of 60. Seems like hell to spend the last years of my life like that

Concert atmosphere tends to take away 20 years off my age, gives me a boost of happiness and energy like nothing else (ok, my knees and back are not soo happy the next day, but oh well...) . Rock/metal ones. I love that there are people of all ages, from 8 to 80.

This one hits close to home in it’s own way, it’s extremely difficult for me to quit smoking. I can’t do without a cigarette, it’s my biggest downfall. I’ve decided to try again when I’m good and ready, and I’m fully aware that won’t be for another many of years and I’m quite ok with that too 👍🏻 I know I’ll succeed when the time is right and I’m 100% mentally ready; I feel acknowledging that is a good start

Have to disagree with this one. I live in my skinny jeans and it's a hill I'm willing to die on.

Best advice I know for anxiety: Do everything stressful one tiny step at a time. Eat the elephant one bite at a time.

Life is so much better when you're not paying attention to the news. If you think all the bad stuff that's going on is all reported to the news, not a chance. It's just a tip of the iceberg, the ones who bothered to report it to the news. Every now and then there's a good, uplifting story, but not often enough.

This is one of the reasons my mom sold her house to rent an apartment. She said the upkeep to make her house "presentable" was too much.

I'm the old lady who flips off people flying down my street. There are too many kids around to be driving like that.

At first I read internet biking and was really confused

I was too old for this when I was of legal age to do this. Loud, dark, smelly, the music is weird, someone has to watch your things, drinks are expensive.

No one even wants to go out for coffee or go do something, and actually make it to fruition. "Oh, I'll give you my facebook." What? Why? Then you go friend them and they friend you but never chat with you. What was the point?

I don't care who did it what with who. There's a divide in my family right now, and it's all to do with the older generations. They've tried getting all the younger generations involved but we're not playing that game. To hell with all of them.

Those guys look pretty happy with the drama

TLDR

Took me a long long time to learn that People Pleasing does more harm than good. And that niceness and kindness are two different things. You should always be kind, but you don't always need to be nice. And you do not need to sacrifice yourself for others. Care for those that care for you, and forget about the rest. So many of us are so conditioned to find our worth in the approval of others - and it's destroyed our self esteem. F**k people pleasing.

Yeah - I can relate to this one. Recently single after 17 years of marriage. It's a mad house out there.

No longer part of my life, didn't do well with it before retirement !

My memory is too c**p to hold a grudge. I'll probably forget I'm supposed to be mad at you.
