Hello lily, it is good to see you back! You have been missed. This problematic situation has affected many over the course of last year I am afraid, both on a social and professional level. I am sorry to hear about the virus you contracted, what is it? You don't have to answer if you don't...

This sense of guilt of bothering others is common enough, there's less pressure when others voluntarily step in to help. I remember being asked the time by someone (away from where it could be seen), the guy felt the obligation to justify that his phone battery had died. This suggests that...

This sucks, if I didn't have my parents teach me things while growing up (before the internet became ubiquitous) I'd have hardly found out about that if not from classmates or the TV or books, but it's not the same as the internet where you get to hear everyone's version

For the adult part — are you referring to people in general being busy or to your parents? I find it rude and sad regardless of whoever that might be. You raise an interesting question about Google! How anxious would one in need of assurance be without Google? Suppose something's odd is going on...

Hello peeps, I was wondering if any of you perceived asking people questions – even to long-time acquaintances – as intrusive, prone to a poor interpretation or met by a Why-do-you-care reaction? Such a stance has been instilled into me as a kid. My parents would insist on me replying to...

Here :)

Having thought of myself as a people pleaser I share certain aspects with what is described on Urban Dictionary such as feeling inferior to others or attending to one's needs before my own. I think the former one stems from my values — striving to live humbly. While loathing those trying to...

Their eyes say it. I don't think people would be open enough to say to a random stranger this (s)he is weird. Kids that keep staring is also another sign.

Brings back some worriless period of my life!

I believe that people not knowing me would think the following of me: That I am an unintelligent person and naive; that I look suspicious and weird. I also get the twisted impression that my every move is being studied by people (especially in closed spaces like the metro or stores)...

Googled symptoms ;)

Rash decision

This feels like you are underestimating yourself or thinking that you are not worth it. Life is paying you back the money it might have taken away from you foolishly (subscriptions/memberships that went to waste that you didn't use, you spending money on something way more than it's supposed to...

Hello FriendlyShadow, I sent you a PM

As easy and instinctive lumping everyone together might feel, it's rarely a rational choice. I know how good and tempting it feels to let your emotions and personal experience dictate your behavior and outlook, but thankfully there are exceptions to everything, wonderful people exist, they're...

I wish people here were as orderly as Aussies, many don't seem to grasp the gravity of the situation. In some parts of Paris – before open markets were banned – people would flock around without any consideration for safety, it's reported that many have been fined since the confinement took...

I'd like to know how any of you might have felt when walking back outside after several days of confinement if it applies. After more than 2 weeks at home, I felt good around people again and somewhat more assertive, like when telling them to back off (Ironic, I know...)

I think it's the case in Ex-Czechoslovakia with masks. But it's causing a feeling of false security (if you're wearing it) and of excessive vulnerability (if everybody wears it except you). In some parts of Asia it's even part of the culture to wear it, as a result it's causing stigma towards...

No, I didn't. It really takes the cake and makes you doubt the effectiveness of sanitary environments where strict measures are supposed to be taken. As a general rule, I'm assuming that I already have contracted the virus so I'm being cautious to not transmit it to the others.
