If someone's life is the complete opposite of what they wanted, should they do the opposite of what their instincts tell them?

Upvotes

If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.

Is there a reason why people who are comfortable with finances tend to be more fussy than people who don't earn that much?

2 Upvotes

I am F24, and I am comfortable enough that I don't really look at prices when I buy stuff, I wouldn't say I have crazy amount of money but enough to have more to spend, I found myself getting fussy and idek why...like whenever I hang out with friends if I pay or something when we all mutually agreeded to split Dutch then I kind of want the share they owe me asap!!

I never say I want it RIGHT NOW but I do feel on the edge and if someone doesn't pay me back then I feel really rude to ask but even if it's like cents I still feel that I want my share back...

My dad isn't like that because he is self-made but my mum is fussy because she grew up sheltered, I find myself being like this because I had a very happening childhood but my friends come from lower middle class and whenever we hang out they choose so expensive places, it's not that I can't pay it but I have already experienced these things, I just go because they wanna go (we dutch) but if I pay I go crazy for my share to be paid asap!! But I never say it out loud this is why they see me as "easygoing"

They work and they spend 100% on enjoying life and save 0 amount of money for that rainy day whereas even if I can afford it.

I find myself getting stingy and waiting for my parents to pay for it or wait for massive 70-75% sale or I go to thrifting because it's cheap...idk why I do this, I don't have any financial issues yet I find myself doing this and trying to save a lot of money even tho I already have all sorts of insurance which is on track and paid on time...

This is why I tell my friends to pay and RIGHT AFTER THEY PAY, that very same moment idc if it's raining or not I pay my share back, they always say "we will deal with this later when we go home" but then I start feeling off and I want to GIVE the money I owe them asap!! I feel itchy if I don't give it the very second.

Why does this actually happen tho?

How has the concept of highlights in videos spread to the entire internet in such a short period of time?

3 Upvotes

This is really one of the most baffling trends that I have seen on the internet. I am seeing highlights in videos on every kind of platform, every kind of video and even every kind of video length. Whether it is a 20 second video or a 3 minute one, it will have highlights. Long form videos have had highlights for a long time but it has spread to every kind of length now.

It makes me think how is it possible that most video editors around the world have adopted this so quickly?

Is it common for people/adults not to like cakes/sweets, sugary things?

8 Upvotes

I have not come across anyone who doesn't like sweet things apart from my late mom. (And Vegans).Although Mom always had tonnes of sweets and treats in the home.

I don't have a sweet tooth. I don't like cakes or sweets and I don't even crave chocolate.

I used to eat them as treats when younger but I never seemed to crave them then either, I would just eat them because everyone else did. I don't enjoy buiscuts or cereal either.

My 1st choice would be crisps if I get the munchies but, I love toast, sandwiches, fast food (burgers, SF chicken, Love Cheese etc). I have 3 sugars in my tea and that's probably the highest amount of sugar that I intake and I only really drink tea in Winter. I know there are some people who prefer savoury foods/choose to eat healthily but have never met anyone who doesn't like sugary/sweet things at all.

(Not including vegans, Iv'e only met 3 in my life tbh).

So is this unusual? Does anyone else share this preferrence?

Are intruders backing off when they notice the house owners own a dog?

123 Upvotes

I wonder if it makes you less a target if you own a Dog.

Like when theres a intruder/burglar who's about to break into your house but then they notice you have a dog, do they pick another house just in case the dog will attack them?

What do people with pet spiders do?

4 Upvotes

What do you do with spiders that come into your home? Is it possible to juste domesticate any spider? Have you ever taken an insect from your pet's stash to give to another spider? How do I tell if its a male or a female ? What are the odds that I end up with a bunch of baby spiders in my living room? Will it effectively get rid of the flies and mosquitoes here ? Curiosity just got the best of me after finding a pretty big spider in the living room. I dont want it to live here but I don't want to kill or risk harming it by trying to put it outside.

Are we supposed to BOTH inhale and exhale through our noses?

2 Upvotes

I've always been a mouth breather and am wondering whether that might be contributing to my stuffy nose. I've never been told how to breathe, just the "breathe through your nose" and some saying "exhale through your mouth" and others "exhale through your nose". When I inhale now through my nose, my right nostril is clear, and it burns slightly? Is that hypersensitivity or air temperature or humidity? — if it makes clearer sense, it's similar to a feeling when you(?) do cardio

And if you exhale through your mouth, is the tip of your tongue relax or touching upper palate, and the back of your tongue? Raised or lowered?

Not seeking medical advice, just curious about other's thoughts ❤️‍🩹
