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.

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?

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

I won’t sit idly by while there is a PRETENDER TO THE THRONE.

I hate to be “that zoologist” (because I’m not a zoologist), but isn’t that a shrew?

I believe they’re on pornlemmy.com or lemmy.world. There might be on on lemmynsfw.com! There’s a few, some of which are similarly named, and some of which have the same name but are on different instances.

Subscribed. Don’t forget c/fitgirls. 😌 Hm, hm, yes, yes. You’ll thank me when you discover @vladigal.

Regular dogs have bones too. They still munch on the bones of other animals. This isn’t the conundrum it’s made out to be.

Left of what? What’s on its right?

I think the problem is that between lightning cables and USB-C, one is made by an asshole company who wants you to use it for your phone and literally nothing else, and one is useful for your phone and literally everything else.

It does, and then I found out some people actually use mistakes like that to drive engagement because it makes people comment their posts and videos just to correct them, effectively boosting the post. Now, it annoys me even more.

They weren’t saying the screenshot was of Mac OS. They were saying they believe Arc is only for Mac OS.

I spend the winter enjoying the feeling of being “intentionally warm”, and I love how cute I look layered up in jackets and scarves. During the summer, I am sticky, covered in itchy and burning mosquito bites, and the seatbelt buckle burned my hands.

Nice!
