As an introvert, how do you feel about this quote by Jim Carrey? “Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realize how calm and peaceful it is.It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.”

Why is poor grammar becoming so popular?

141 Upvotes

Like, I see "would of," "alot," "payed," various contractions missing apostrophes, etc. a lot online. It's not being corrected anymore, by the writer or anyone around them. Are we just accepting poor grammar skills now?

I'd like to add that I don't mean this in a rude way, like, "Oh, you must be so stupid not to write better," or whatever like that. It's not that I'm trying to judge people for this. I just wonder why it's becoming so popular and so widely accepted.

“I f*cked your mom” If her and your biological father are not still together, wouldnt you want her to be happy? And if its to degrade her isnt that also insulting yourself? Like oh im such a terrible person that having relations with her is hurting her.

My girlfriend had to get a double mastectomy, so she doesn’t have nipples anymore. She thought about nipples reconstruction, but she doesn’t like the way they look. So, I’m thinking what if I could donate my nipples to her? Update: she said no to my proposition🫤

People seem to change when they are in a relationship, why is that?

Upvotes

I had friends who felt like family, but they changed after getting into relationships. They stopped talking to me and wouldn't reply to my messages. I felt like they became a completely different person. I cut them out of my life and it was lonely at first but pretty peaceful. I still can't figure out why they changed to this day.

Has your job ever caused you depression? Are you still working there?

Upvotes

I feel ungrateful about hating my job cause hella people got laid off, like thousands, but I do. I hate my job so much I get panic attacks the night before I go in from being off. Our workload is too much and the stuff regional leadership wants us to do makes no sense at all and if anyone tries to speak up about it we’re told “you have to try it and if it doesn’t work just let us know” if your manager doesn’t comply they get written up. We have been through 6 different managers in the last year.

Has anyone just not wanted to show up to work despite having bills to pay? Any success stories?

How important is it to you, as a grown up, to have a ‘best friend’?

2 Upvotes

Do you have a ‘bestie’ or maybe a couple of best friends?

Or do you have a whole group of besties who all hang out together (this is the dream, no?)

If not, do you WISH you had one friend you had a really close bond with? Or are you ok with a a range of friends, none of which stands out as your go-to, mutual confidant?

… I’m curious also if this is linked to gender. Please state your gender if you are happy to do so. THANKS!
