One of the top two barnyard animals, I've heard.
@tenebrous_d You need to back off with the top two comments please. Harassing people is not a great way to make friends
Really? I joke around with my friends or potential friends. It was an ice breaker type comment. A wave in the hall. A 'I see you S Greer! What's up? I'm the dork that made the top two joke and tried to keep it going in a friendly way'.
If you see those comments as harassment, then I don't really think we'd be friends anyway. Good luck here. I'll do you a favor and block you now.
In that case I apologize. Things clearly got lost in translation1 -
I like to intentionally create that long awkward silence during meetings at work by asking what everyone else is thinking but afraid to ask... but really wants to ask. I know it's a home run when all the white-shirts draw a slow, deep collective breath2

I’m now known for this too. More people should speak up but are afraid 2 -
I had actually lost all the weight before I ever even heard of mfp...
I used Endomondo a lot and entered in a "Most active minutes" challenge... I came in 64th out of like 175,000 people...
As a result I was one of 5 grand prize winners who won UA health boxes, jbl ear buds and a free year of mfp premium...
Otherwise I probably still would never had heard of this place...9 -
I either care way too much or not at all. There's not much middle ground for me.4

I have a knack for finding stray or hurt animals.
Dogs, cats, baby opposums, lots of birds over the years.
Found a baby bird in the road,
ended up with a BlueJay for 11yrs.
They normally only live about 7yrs.
Tried to let it go several times but it couldn't seem to fly right.
It was a mean son of a gun.
It flew across the room one day and pecked my eyeball.
It would start screaming every time I got on the phone.
I had a real love/hate relationship with "Bird".3 -

I’m a 38 year old mom of 4 sons. I love soccer of all varieties, Scandinavian film, studying languages, and my “old lady” hobbies of genealogy, baking and knitting. I was a sabre fencer until I got far enough along in my pregnancy with my last baby that I could no longer zip my fencing jacket. That was 8.5 years ago and I said I’d get back to it when I could zip the jacket again...I think that I finally could manage to wear it again, but sadly, the club where I fenced back then has closed.
On a much deeper level, I was estranged from my dad for many years before his death and haven’t had any contact with any of his side of the family in about 18 years. I still fight a lot of anxiety that I think stems largely from spending my first dozen years listening to him telling me how worthless and terrible I was and that I’d never succeed at anything. It has led me to screw up quite a few friendships over the years, because I struggle to override that anxiety voice when it starts telling me that someone doesn’t actually like me or wishes I would stop talking to them. If I’m not getting frequent reassurance to the contrary (and sometimes even if I am), I find that I withdraw into myself so as not to be an annoyance...which is part of this awful cycle where the anxiety then convinces me that any decrease in contact is just proof that they never liked me anyway so I withdraw even further.10 -

Yes.. I totally get this.
I keep my feelings to myself about emotional things so that people can't use it against me to hurt me.. if that makes sense. Basicaly I protect my heart well and rarely show vulnerability.
Me too... except the older I get, fortunately the less I care. Now it's really more a matter of picking the right people and not spending time on the wrong ones. The good ones are harder to find.1 -

I'm sorry this happened to you. I had 17 years of two parents saying the same things, and I know how hard it is to override those early messages. 1 -

This book might provide an interesting perspective on this behavior. The focus is on romantic relationships but I've applied it platonic relationships too.

i generally assume people dont really want me as a friend and think i’m annoying but i hang around anyways and now you’ve got me wondering if that’s anxiety bc i literally never made that connection
I've never felt more affinity with a post. Glad we're not alone ❤️
I hope you guys can move past it and see your worth.

My earliest memory is from when I was about 3yrs old...
I had a dream that I met Jesus in a large church of gold, we had a conversation I can't remember but he picked me up...
My mother found me that night sitting up in my bed looking up towards the ceiling and talking to someone...
She asked who I was talking to as I remember waking up and seeing him grow larger and larger as he and the church faded away and I was left in my room with my mother...
I told her Jesus Christ
Although I had apparently never heard him referred to before as Christ

I bought myself a pecan pie. That is all I will have tomorrow for my party of one Christmas dinner. I'm not 100% sure you should feel sad for me after reading all these holiday depression and anxieties about the holidays.3

I have no (not even low) self esteem or confidence. After 12 years of being bullied at school and working in environments where I wasn't accepted, I've lost my self esteem. It's slowly re-developing now. But, I've learned I can't spend time trying to participate in selfie threads.
I have a very weird sense of humor that was developed through much British comedy, a father, grandfather, and uncle who loved to play jokes on people (always in fun and never in a mean way), but also wonderful comedians like Red Skelton.
I'm learning to play the classical guitar. I also enjoy using and repairing fountain pens and straight razors.6
