Ah. Their word choice of “gotten past” led me to assume they viewed it as an obstacle.

You can literally re-spec and redesign your character at any point. There’s no point to wasting your time picking the perfect aesthetic if you can simply change it 5 minutes later.

So THAT’S why it’s always so high-quality.

No suggestions. I just wanna know what the answer ends up being that fixes it for you.

No, literally. Sauce?

As somebody with social anxiety, it sounds like your MIL also has social anxiety. Hence, the constant need to have to reinforce that other people can stand her. I had to train this out of myself in my late teens/early 20s.

I know it’s annoying to deal with, but showing a little compassion and simply affirming that you’re exhausted but her relationship with you is secure will go a long way for her. She’ll probably get used to you being quiet around her too.

I think it’s really ironic when I see these memes, because it highlights how our own heads will highlight the things that grate against our own nerves.

I assume everybody that this resonates with resonates with it because they themselves have been told to go against their nature and wanna know why the other side hasn’t.

I’m the other end of that spectrum. I promise you, people told me all that. “Mind your peers. Share the space. Stop being…so much. Learn to be comfortable in silences. What can’t you shut the fuck up?”

I have autism, so I didn’t understand why I was always screwing it up. I also hated hearing, “Be yourself. People will like you for who you are,” because I found that when I stopped trying to mask, I’d immediately hear all of the above all over again.

Yeah, what are they doing there? Crazy Antarcticans.

Annoyed that the person in the third post is pretending to be the person in the first two posts.

I could not figure out how to get acquainted with people on there.

If you click the line, there’s a video interview with the guy that line is about. Apparently, that line caused a rift between him and Biggie. Wonder why?

Meteors was fantastic! But yes, after that, it kinda fell off.

I don’t know. The identical faces adds some humor to me.

I’ll give a very literal example joke demonstrating how this used to function.

NOBODY:

ME: Yes, I did get a haircut. Thank you for asking.

See, nobody asked, but the speaker was still compelled to share this fact (or in other cases, an opinion). Over time, it became such a common format that people didn’t even grasp the initial purpose beyond it being convention. The term “POV” in captions is used this way now too.

Why did you have to give away a dog? What made you able to get given a new one?

Thank you.

I went to Rotten Tomatoes to read the reviews. Had me cracking up with how negative they were. Lol
