Yeah it being broken is definitely a first world problem, hence why it has stayed broken for 5 years.

My husband said the same thing about Reddit!!!
Then don’t do all of it. I like to break my to-do list down to the smallest, actionable step? Usually it’s just a shower, but it helps me hate myself less.
The friggin ice maker on the fridge. Plus the drawers are falling apart and it’s only been 7 years.
I’ve done the same, but I don’t remember just how many communities I’ve blocked until a new one to block pops up and it’s kinda wow that’s a lot of communities. It makes me hesitant to recommend Lemmy IRL because I don’t want people to think I’m here for the porn.
Sometimes I remember that my cats won’t be with me forever and I cry and cry and wipe my snotty face in their fur and yet they still love me. I’ve long decided a long time ago that I’m saving one of my cats ashes to mix with mine so we can be together again after I die. She’s my soulmate.
Are they Kidde? I’ve had 3 photoelectric Kiddes that started failing and going off randomly. I’ve been slowly replacing all of mine.
The builder installed them. Occasionally walking through our neighbourhood we hear other people’s going off too.
They market it as gourmet or something. If you get Velveeta shells there the sauce is in a pouch.
That’s why I like my galaxy beats live buds. They don’t really sit in ear- mostly they sit just outside.
Because then they wouldn’t be able to tell you to return your seat to the upright position for landing.
Pssst… The IT Crowd (original, not the terrible American remake). It’s delightful. You won’t regret it.
The clothing is actually quite similar, I think the big difference is the hair is smaller these days. Which kind of tracks- most hair today is smaller than 80s hair.
Then watch Futurama. It is her!
Same to you, friend.
I used to feel the same way with mirrors and actually wanted to write into my will that all photos of me must be destroyed upon my death. The idea of being permanently recorded terrified me.
I think therapy really helped, since if anything my appearance has strayed further from my mental image. That’s not to say it’s the same for you. It’s a relief to me that I’m not the only one who has felt this way, and I hope that you find some relief from the feeling itself too.
I just learned about this, and think I have it too, to an extent. I’ve grown more comfortable as I move age and transform closer to the hag witch I was born to be.
It’s called a fear of being perceived, or scopophobia. Apparently it’s common with neurodivergence (though I personally wouldn’t consider myself neurodivergent- at least not enough to seek a diagnosis).
Never is a very long time my friend.
I try to treat everyone as though I might be the first drop of kindness they have seen in some time, and my mantra when I find it difficult is “be kindness”- as in, choose the kindest option available to me at the time.
THAT SAID, I would not call myself a nice person, and if I was asked this I would elaborate that I try to be kind. I’ve known a handful of people who call themselves nice and I’ve been disappointed in their lack of patience and grace for others. Nice people don’t need to say they’re nice.
Groovy
