People Shared Who in Their Life They Miss Most Right Now

I know who I miss the most these days.

I miss all my friends who live in different parts of the country that I haven’t been able to see in quite some time now.

As you know, certain world events have thrown a wrench into plans to go visit people for the past year or so, but we’re almost there, folks!

So keep the faith!

Folks on AskReddit opened up about who they miss most in their lives right now.

1. Tragic.

“My Sister, who passed away in 2014, and my Father, who passed the following year.

They shared a birthday which also happens to be today.

I really miss you both.”

2. Think of them often.

“My two dogs from my first marriage.

My ex-wife got both of them (vet said they couldn’t be separated bc one had crippling anxiety and separating them would be too detrimental and I couldn’t bring myself to fight to separate them knowing this).

Not a day goes by that I don’t think about them.”

3. Everyone back home.

“I’m from Buffalo, but I’ve lived in NYC for the last year or so due to work.

I haven’t been able to see my family back home since I work in a high risk field for COVID.

Last week, I went to a Wegmens upstate and got emotional walking around, because I guess I just sort of compartmentalized how much I miss home.

So, home.”

4. Mike.

“Mike. He was my “punching bag” when life was hard. We worked together in automotive shop.

He was around until right before my first husband and I got married, he quit or got fired. He showed up and got his job a week before my first husband unexpectedly d**d. He was with me through that, my mom dying of pancreatic cancer, being evicted because my landlord didn’t pay his mortgage.

He would walk up to me and say I looked like I wanted to punch someone, and would let me punch him. I didn’t always but sometimes it helped a lot. He also made me laugh, a lot, even when I didn’t want to. He was the person who let me have a small pity party for myself then tell me to get over myself. I would. He knew me better than I knew myself and we were either really good or very awful.

When we would fight, everyone knew and it was over dumb things and last… sometimes for weeks. He d**d a couple years ago.

I believe that was because I would never need him that way again. But I miss him a lot and wish he could see where I’ve gotten from where I was.”

5. Dad.

“My dad. He k**led himself when I was 15.

I don’t even remember the last thing I said to him. I know I was angry from the abuse and him moving out of state when I was 11.

I miss him so much I wish I could tell him I loved him again.”

6. Still miss him.

“My ex husband.

Yes we’re divorced for good reason but it’s been difficult these past few years without him.

I really do miss him, even though we had our problems.

I bet a lot of people feel like I do.”

7. A sad story.

“My niece.

She passed away in 2019 after her first birthday. Long story short my wife and I dont plan on having kids. Her sisters child (my niece through marriage, who I also love) moved across country so we almost never get to see her.

So when my brothers daughter was born we were always around when we could be. Brought my family together a lot. She was such a sweet kid. She didn’t like a lot of people when she was younger, but I was the only one who could always get her to smile. We just had such a great bond and she was in a coma before she passed away.

That week ruined me, and I was at the hospital every moment I could be. Even now writing this it feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest. I just miss her so much, and I miss life where my brother wasn’t a broken person, he was beyond destroyed.”

8. A voice of hope.

“My grandmother. She was always a voice of real hope and balanced reason, with a big pinch of Southern charm.

I’m ok without her, but a big part of me becoming successful was to validate her impression of me.

She bragged about me all the time.

I became the most deserving of that praise about a year after she passed, and I just wish she could have seen what I’m up to.

She’d have smiled pretty big for her 5 foot self.”

9. Other side of the world.

“My fiancee.

She lives on the other side of the world and I haven’t seen her other than through a phone/computer screen in 6 months.”

10. BFF.

“My dog.

She was my best friend for 14 years and we had to say goodbye in January.”

11. An old friend.

“There’s an old friend I’ve been thinking about lately. We had a lot of adventures together when we were younger and we were both broken is similar ways that made us natural friends and allies.

I was honestly smitten with her at first sight. We met at a local music club and had a lot of fun times together going to local music festivals, open mic nights, and hanging out at diners. Then, we just sort of drifted apart.

I tried to reach out but I got an “It was nice to know you” letter in return and I took the hint. Ha, I was actually pretty embarrassed at the time that I hadn’t realized she just wasn’t into our friendship anymore.

Still, I really miss her. That was all a long time ago, long enough that the person I miss certainly doesn’t exist anymore. She wouldn’t know me, either, anymore than I’d know her. I would never insert myself into her life at this point and I’m not entirely sure I would welcome her if she did so. I’m still a little offended she ghosted me if I’m being honest.

But I do mostly think back on our friendship fondly. When it comes to the people I used to know, she’s the one who most frequently ends up on my mind. She’s been in my mind a lot the last few days and I find myself stupidly wishing I could go back in time for a weekend and just enjoy the moments we used to have.

Some people seem to imprint on you forever. That can be a very mixed bag. Gods’ honest truth, I’d probably choose to forget her if I could. The good outweighed the bad, but maybe not by enough?”

Who do you miss the most right now in your life?

We’d love to hear from you!

Should We Always Have to Let Family Stay When They Ask? A Woman Asks The Internet Their Thoughts.

Family decisions are tough and always full of potential pitfalls. There are expectations and guilt involved, and the fact that whatever you decide, you’re going to have to hear about it for the next twenty or so years.

Which is probably why this person is wondering whether or not she was wrong to refuse to let her sister and nieces/nephews move into her new house.

OP saved up for and bought a house for her single self and her two dogs, and she was so happy with her purchase. It was the perfect amount of space for her, but her entitled sister – who lives in a much smaller space with three children – thought she was being selfish.

Their mother got involved and said she thought OP was being mean for not inviting the sister and her kids to move in.

Yikes.

Image Credit: Twitter

OP refused, saying that she bought the house and wanted the space to herself, but did offer to help the sister rent a larger apartment with more space.

That’s when she found out that her mom and sister had intended for OP to move out and let the sister move in.

What.

Image Credit: Twitter

I have no idea what these people are thinking, but let’s hear what Reddit has to say while I sort it out, hmm?

It is kind of hilarious when you put it that way.

Image Credit: Twitter

To sum up.

Image Credit: Twitter

She definitely needs to leave her foot down.

Image Credit: Twitter

This sister just cannot be serious.

Image Credit: Twitter

A lot of people need to learn this lesson.

Image Credit: Twitter

Some of these are so NTA that it’s just laughable, y’all.

Go ahead and scream into the comments – that’s what we’re here for.,

Was This Woman Wrong for Refusing to Attend a Wedding as the Babysitter?

Weddings are often wrought with drama. Whether we don’t really like the couple, we don’t want to have to find a babysitter, we’re not sure what to wear or what gift to bring, or we’re not sure we can afford to attend at all, there are decisions to be made.

This woman felt like hers had essentially been made for her when she realized she was only being invited to babysit the children at the ceremony.

It’s kind of an odd situation, because she doesn’t know the bride and groom and is only tangentially connected to the wedding and wouldn’t normally have been invited – and was fine with that.

My (23F) friend’s sister-in-law is getting married in November.

My friend is helping to plan the wedding and has been sharing some of the details with me.

It has been previously understood that I would not be going to the wedding because I’m not a close friend of the bride or groom nor am I a relative.

This has never bothered me and I’ve just been excited to know that two people that love each other are getting married.

Then her friend, who is one of the wedding planners, said she might be invited as a nanny for some of the children whose parents would be attending, but OP wouldn’t be paid or anything.

Today, my friend texted me and told me that I might have to go to the wedding.

When I asked her why, she told me it would be to take care of the guests’ children.

I thought she was joking but then she insisted that she was serious.

I asked if I would at least get paid for taking care of kids that aren’t mine and that I barely know and she said that going to the wedding was enough pay.

Her instinct was to say no, because if she was going to attend she would want to enjoy it, and if they needed a babysitter they should be willing to pay – one can’t enjoy the benefits of being at a wedding and watch children, after all.

Personally, I find it a little disrespectful that I would be invited as a nanny and not as an actual guest that would get to enjoy the wedding as much as the other guests.

I’m not even interested in being invited but if they actually wanted me to go I would want to be a normal guest, not someone taking care of at least 3 kids under 10 years old that I don’t know how to handle.

However, I considered the fact that they might actually need someone to help out.

So, am I being dramatic and an AH or should I stand my ground?

That said, she’s wondering now if she was too rash, and asking Reddit to weigh in.

This person agreed that needing a babysitter is fine, but not wanting to pay one isn’t cool.

Image Credit: Reddit

Another wedding babysitter weighed in, and said it’s hard work and not enjoyable and she definitely needs to be paid.

Image Credit: Reddit

Most people agree that there’s nothing wrong with the request, but the way it was made makes them uncomfortable.

Image Credit: Reddit

And maybe OP needs to have a heart-to-heart with her “friend.”

Image Credit: Reddit

No is a complete answer.

Image Credit: Reddit

This is a totally weird situation, and I definitely think OP is right to shy away from doing it.

If she does give in, I have a feeling we’re going to have quite the update afterward.

If You Were in a Room With Every Person You Ever Met, Who Would Be the One You’d Look For? Here’s What People Said.

This promises to be an interesting conversation!

If you were in a room with everyone you ever met in your life, who would you look for first?

I think I’d have to say someone in my immediate family. My dad. Or my mom. Or my brother. Or my old dog…

What do you think?

Let’s see what folks on AskReddit had to say about this.

1. Best friend.

“My best friend Gabrielle.

She d**d from cancer when we were 12, it was so hard watching her go.

I named my first born after her, and am best friends with her little sister now. I miss her.”

2. The stranger.

“I met a man on a plane once, sat next to me. He was about my dads age and later I found I was about his daughters age.

We started chatting, and just a few days before I had just cut off contact with my veteran al**holic father. He asked me about myself and I told him I worked in child welfare. He then told me he was a veteran addictions therapist. I don’t even remember how we got on the topic but by the end of the flight he was telling me “tell your dad you love him. Tell him you want him to get sober for you, because you want to see him live a happy and full life.”

It was such a bizarre encounter with what was going on in my life at the time and I’m not religious but maybe divine intervention placed us in that place at that time? I’d look for him to tell him how much that conversation meant to me, that it was the most impactful meeting with a stranger I’ve ever had.”

3. Childhood friend.

“My childhood best friend. We were best friends from 4 to 17.

He battled with Leukemia from 13 to 17. The last year of his life he was constantly in and out of the hospital and was immunocompromised. I got to see him but we had to keep our distance. We were planning on going to the same college for engineering.

I know all he would want to know is if I did it and kept moving. I plan on naming my first born after him. 12 years later and I still think about him most days and he is my driving force to stay positive and keep on pushing.”

4. Dad.

“I lost dad when I was 16. He had brain cancer.

I’m 21 now, finally attending University to do a degree in computer science (which is what he did too, and I bet he never would have thought I would follow in his path!) I’m in a loving relationship with someone who is so smart and interesting that I wish my dad – another loving and interesting human – could meet.

So many memories and events I wish he could be there to see.

I’m just thankful I had him for 16 years.”

5. You miss him.

“My husband.

I would love to see him strong and healthy one last time, as opposed to the sick man he was at the end.

He was a runner, and he had the most beautiful, strong legs.

He was such a good dad.”

6. Role model.

“My AP Calculus teacher, he was the only person in the entire school who noticed I was being ab**ed at home.

He approached me cautiously, never judged or blamed me. He treated me with respect at a time where no other person did, it broke my heart when he d**d a few months later.

I never took the AP Calculus test because I was devastated (he was my teachers years before that so I always looked up to him).”

7. Someone from the past.

“Hailey. I met her when I was 14 at this church thing.

She had had a rough go at life, but was very kind to me. We spent most of it talking on a little boat on the lake / pond. I got her number so we could hang out. I called and her mom cussed me out.

I tried to clear things up with her at church on Sunday, telling her that I wasn’t the one turning her daughter to drugs. They weren’t at church and I never saw her again.

I miss you Hailey, you were very kind and I wished we couldve been better friends.”

8. Sorry about that.

“My prom date. I thought we were going as friends.

I was too young and stupid to realize how much she liked me and put herself out there, just to have me not notice.

Owe her an apology for that.”

9. Army buddy.

“A friend I had while in the Army.

He d**d in 2019 at the age of 34 from cancer. From diagnosis to d**th was about 6 months. He was very private about his illness.

I never new he was sick until he d**d. It’s one of those life events I’ve never been able to “get over” for lack of a better term.”

10. One more talk.

“Lost my grandmother two months ago. It’s been shi**y.

If I could talk to her one more time, I wouldn’t be saying anything she didn’t already know, but I’d still say it.

I guess I just wish I could’ve said goodbye. The only ones who got that chance were my grandfather and mother.”

11. Where did she go?

“That girl who asked for my number, but never called me.

It seemed like fate. I had been mourning the loss of a love one for years at this point, and my feelings basically stopped existing. But then I heard a song in a tv show that made me bawl my eyes out. I decided to embrace the sad feeling, downloaded the song, and went for a walk listening to it on repeat.

On my way back home I was waiting for a light to change green, when a jogger pulled up next to me. The light turned green, and she continued jogging. But when she got across the street, she stopped and waited for me. She motioned for me to take my headphones off, then asked me if I was listening to Agnes Obel.

I said yes, and told her about how I had been emotionally d**d for years until I heard that song. She told me she had the same experience, and first heard the song in the same show that I did!

We chatted for about 15 minutes until we were going separate ways, but not before she asked me for my number. But no happy ending here, it’s been at least 7 years and I’ve since changed my number.”

What would your answer to this question be?

Tell us what you think in the comments.

We’d love to hear from you!

Was a Wheelchair-Bound Student Wrong For Asking Their Teacher To Stop Pointing Out Her Disability?

For people who don’t have much firsthand experience being around or working with people with disabilities, there can definitely be a learning curve while figuring out the appropriate way to navigate the day-to-day.

How can we learn, though, if the people who are living their lives with disabilities feel as if it’s rude to speak up and correct us when we’re wrong?

Of course, not everyone is up for learning a better way, and perhaps that’s why this wheelchair-bound student felt like they might have been in the wrong after correcting a teacher who continually made comments about her wheelchair.

OP (Original Poster) is a wheelchair user and has had the same chair for 7 years. She’s currently saving up to buy a new chair, but in the meantime, she’s been made aware (often and repeatedly) by an English teacher that hers is beat up and makes a “distracting” noise in class.

I’m 18f, have a pretty messed up pair of legs, have had since birth, I can walk but am an ambulatory wheelchair user. I’m currently due an upgrade for my chair, I’ve had it close to 7 years and it’s a bit messed up. It’s gotten pretty uncomfortable and it makes noise but like I said, I’ve had it 7 years and I’ve grown rather attached to it. We’re saving to pay for the new one at the moment.

I have one teacher, my English teacher, who constantly makes comments about how banged up looking it is, and gets pretty pissed any time I dare move and it makes noise. She says it’s distracting. The comments about the appearance of the chair annoy me a lot because it’s hardly going to look brand new after 7 years of constant use.

OP lost her cool finally and told the teacher that if it bothered her so much, perhaps she’d like to pony up the dough for a new one.

The teacher seemed slightly chastised.

She made a comment this morning along the lines of “You know, you should really get a new one, that one looks like it’s about to collapse under you”.

I got really mad about this and I said, “You know what, if you think I should get a new chair so bad, you can pay the nearly 4 grand it’s gonna cost or you can stop making nasty comments about something that literally doesn’t affect you.”

A boy in her class, though, thought she didn’t need to be that rude – not everyone knows how these processes work, right?

She didn’t really look at me until the end of the class but the boy who sits besides me said it was slightly a**holish as she probably didn’t realize how difficult the process was.

AITA?

Reddit’s getting ready to weigh in on whether or not this young lady was in the wrong, so let’s see what they had to say!

They pointed out that a teacher commenting on a student’s lacking in any physical area really points to a lack of training and empathy in the first place.

Image Credit: Reddit

Most agreed the teacher was in the wrong, and needed to be educated.

Image Credit: Reddit

No one likes distracting noises, but it’s the adult’s job to realize what’s in a kid’s control and what is not.

Image Credit: Reddit

And in case you’re wondering, this is America. Of course her wheelchair is not covered by insurance.

Image Credit: Reddit

Some things need to be discussed in private.

Image Credit: Reddit

The girl could have been more tactful, but it sounds as if her frustrations were building up to a boiling point, and just finally exploded.

Given the imbalance of power in this relationship, it’s a no-brainer that the teacher, not the kid, is the a$$hole.

What are your thoughts? Leave them in the comments!

Horrible Customers Who Need a Retail Time Out

Being able to shop in public is a social contract, or at least it should be. There are folks who are paid to keep shelves stocked and answer our questions and ring up our items before putting them in bags, and in exchange, I think most people try to be courteous and friendly in response.

Some people apparently think they’re the only people in the world, or that they’re better than the people who work retail, or something like that – because there’s no other excuse for behavior like these 10 awful customers exhibited while out at a store.

10. I have so many questions.

There probably aren’t any good answers but I still have them.

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

9. Pedestrians have the right of way.

But also, you could just not be a jerk.

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

8. I mean at least put it in the right temperature.

Even if you aren’t going to put it where it belongs.

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

7. What in the holy hell.

How much time does it take to do this?

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

6. There are literally trash cans everywhere.

I don’t get why this concept is so hard.

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

5. What on earth.

Other people do not want to clean up your kid’s excrement. I promise.

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

4. Was there a tornado?

Made of a$$holes?

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

3. Not to mention it’s dangerous.

Some people never think of anyone but themselves.

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

2. I cannot even imagine.

It might be enough to make you *gasp* hate Halloween.

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

1. Do they need to…step on the rugs?

To see what they look like under their shoes? I don’t…

Image Credit: Ruin My Week

Seriously, y’all. Don’t be these people. Gah.

If you work retail, I know you’ve got stories for me. Drop them in the comments!

People Share the Self-Diagnosis They Gave Themselves That Was Completely Wrong

A friend of mine constantly thinks he’s sick (and that the world is ending) and so he gets onto WebMD constantly to try to figure out what’s wrong with him.

And guess what? He’s wrong about 99.9999% of the time!

Who would’ve guessed? A guy that doesn’t have any medical training was way off base?

Have you ever given yourself a self-diagnosis that turned out to be totally wrong?

These AskReddit users have and they shared their stories. Let’s check them out.

1. Here’s a surprise.

“I thought I had food poisoning for a month.

Eliminated everything possible from my diet and started probiotics to reset my digestion.

Nothing helped.

Turns out it was a late-life pregnancy.

We’d thought we were past that point. Surprise!”

2. Not brain leakage.

“I had a migraine for six weeks straight.

My mom was sending me articles to convince me I had some sort of brain leakage.

It turns out the migraine was caused by my birth control.”

3. I forgot.

“I get extremely itchy on my belly and groin area.

I always think it’s because I did a bad job rinsing soap off after taking a bath.

It’s because of the oral steroids I take for my allergies.

This has happened FOUR TIMES in the last five years, and I forget EVERY TIME.”

4. Lay off the booze.

“I was for sure positive that I had Crohns Disease.

Literally almost every symptom applied to me.

Nothing. Not a thing was found in either my colonoscopy or upper GI endoscopy.

Yeah. It turns out that I just drink too much.”

5. Panic.

“I went to the hospital 3 different times because I thought I was having a heart attack.

Turns out they were panic attacks each time.

I have meds now to prevent panic attacks.

One doctor was annoyed which I found funny.

Dude, I thought I was dying.

One of those trips involved a volunteer fire department and an ambulance ride because I was camping far from any hospital.”

6. Whoa.

“I thought I was finally having a mental breakdown, turns out Benadryl just makes me have manic episodes.

Not sure why since it should make me sleep instead of pace up and down the hall for 6 hours.”

7. Overreacted.

“When we were going through an airport I noticed a small red rash behind my brother’s ear.

It looked like a spider bite or a mild reaction to something.

My brother, a massive hypochondriac, immediately convinced himself he had both meningitis and brain cancer.

Insisted we see a doctor as soon as we land.

By the time we’d landed the rash had cleared up.

Not the only time he’s done something like that.”

8. Good thing you figured it out.

“When I was a kid I had a little twitch in my eyes and I thought it was Tourette’s (probably because of that one South Park episode).

Turns out I had epilepsy and they were mini seizures.”

9. A scary one.

“When I was 15, my chest started hurting whenever I ate. A lot. For like a week.

So we went down to the local clinic and suggested that I might have acid reflux. They took my word for it instantly and put me on prilosec, didn’t even question that I might not know what I’m talking about.

A week later I was in the emergency room. Dangerously malnourished, so dehydrated my p**s was almost brown, and with chest pains so bad I could barely even LOOK at food. Pancreatitis. Autoimmune pancreatitis.

My immune system was eating away at my pancreas. Not acid reflux.”

10. Lyme disease.

“Had a bout where for around a month I would spike a fever for a few days with sever lethargy which would eventually fade, only to resurge after i started feeling better.

I eventually made the connection that it resurfaced every time I ate red meat (burgers are my weakness). Decided it was a red meat allergy.

Lyme disease. It was actually Lyme disease.”

11. An easy fix.

“I thought I had strep throat, but it was an allergy to a new toothpaste.

The white I saw covering the back of my throat was, upon closer inspection, tons of canker sores / mouth ulcers.

Went to my dentist who confirmed and advised me to change toothpastes.”

12. Scary.

“I was nauseous and vomiting all the time at work and home and just about everywhere else.

I thought I was in liver failure, the first two doctors I saw dismissed me, said it was the flu (can the flu last 6 months?)

The third doctor I went to was skeptical but I demanded a full blood panel, turns out I was wrong, it wasn’t liver failure it was kidney failure.

The doctor was stunned and extremely apologetic.

I totally needed a kidney transplant and it saved my life.”

13. Weird!

“I thought I had psoriasis because I would get these horrid rashes and flaky skin on my stomach.

Kept putting it off because it would just randomly go away sometimes.

Finally went to a dermatologist and turned out that I’m allergic to nickel and she showed me that my belts were causing the irritation with the nickel belt buckles.

So now I buy rubber or plastic belt buckles, the only other options are real silver or gold belt buckles, which seems excessive.”

Okay, now we want to hear from you.

In the comments, tell us about a really bad self-diagnosis you gave yourself.

We can’t wait to hear your stories!

People Admit What Naturally Occurring Bodily Function Bothers Them the Most

We obviously have a lot of naturally occurring bodily functions, but are there some that really bother you?

Whether if it’s from you or other people?

I guess the answer is yes, based on what you’re about to read…

People on AskReddit talked about which naturally occurring bodily functions really bother them.

Let’s get weird!

1. That’s too bad.

“Fight-or-flight.

I have PTSD stemming from childhood trauma so even my roommate stepping heavily on the floor triggers anxiety and hyper-awaredness.”

2. Sounds like thunder.

“My tummy making sounds like I haven’t eaten for 5 years.”

3. It’s burning!

“Runny noses.

That s**t sucks and when you’re sick enough it starts to burn.”

4. Awful.

“Acid reflux.

Nothing like waking up with intense chest pains and a mouth full of stomach acid throw up.”

5. Sucks

“F**k periods and PMS. Good lord what a hassle!

You have to buy special things (pads, tampons, IB profen) and you feel like dog s**t the days immediately preceding and during.

You have to make sure to have a pad or tampon every time you go to the bathroom and it sucks if you forget.

And God forbid any tampon/pad dispensary is actually stocked in a bathroom!”

6. Fat.

“The body storing excess energy in fat cells….that kind of thing needs a cap.

Like, up to 15% of body weight can be fat, any excess beyond that gets flushed out of the system.”

7. What are you dreaming about?

“As a guy, in my opinion, wet dreams.

They’re so annoying, inconvenient and just straight up unwanted.”

8. It’s time again.

“Growing nails.

Mine grow too fast, I have to cut them every 3 days”

9. Not fun.

“Vomiting.

It’s generally activated to evacuate poisons/irritants from the body but the wind up to and the act of…I am grown and will still cry every time.”

10. Uh oh.

“Getting a huge b**er in public.

Like while having to present in front of class or while being in other public places.”

11. It happens.

“Very rarely I choke on my own saliva and my body goes instantly in fight mode to survive.

Coughing like a maniac, adrenalin rush, and my heart goes crazy.

Out of nowhere. This is ridiculous.”

12. The big one.

“Fa**s.

Especially when you can’t let them go and they build up or these quite ones that mark their presence in other ways.”

13. Why is this happening?

“Yawning!

I dont sleep much so it happens several times a minute, it makes my ears pop and my eyes water so I’m basically crying all day and then my eyes get sore from wiping away all the tears.”

14. Make it go away.

“Body hair. I got hair everywhere. Literally.

Shoulders? Check! Toes? Check! Back? Check! And many more places I don’t want to name.

It might have been useful ages ago but now please just let it go away please.”

What bodily function bothers you the most?

People Talk About What They Did Due to Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

I’m assuming that you probably already know this, but I’m gonna go ahead and say it.

FOMO means “fear of missing out”. Hey, we just want to be clear here…

And there’s a lot of FOMO going around, folks!

Hey, you don’t want to miss out on anything, right?!?!

Folks on AskReddit opened up about things they’ve done because of FOMO.

Let’s see what they had to say.

1. One and done.

“Gambling. I lost $70 and had a lot of fun.

Not sure I wanna lose $70 anytime again soon though.”

2. Chain letters.

“About 25 years ago I believed every chain letter that appeared in my inbox, and religiously sent them along to all my contacts.

In my defense, I was a kid, but still, there’s probably a lot of people from that time that have me blocked for this very reason.”

3. Let’s take a trip.

“Going to South Africa.

I was in school (wild park management) with my best friend. Our year got the offer to go to SA with people from other classes but there was only place for 24 people.

I have never been further away from home then a 6 hour drive and SA is a 12 hour flight away. My thought was: If I don’t go now, I will never ever go.

I went, now I want to go back. But dang the the first time in an airport is stressful.”

4. Did you get lucky?

“Prom. Hated it.

Knew I would.

Glad I went anyway.”

5. Don’t do it!

“Vaping.

I have asthma so after about a week of bronchitis type coughing keeping me up at night I decided that even though I enjoyed it, I’d rather not be dead in a month.”

6. Dive right in.

“Swimming in the deep end of the pool. As a teenager I went to a graduation party at a pool.

The deep end was 12 feet. I wound up even jumping in off the diving board. I’m glad I did it!”

7. Clubbin’.

“Some college roommates took me clubbing.

I have an attitude that as long as something isn’t harmful, I need to force myself to try it at least once (because I’m an introvert, and otherwise I just never do s**t). In this case, I ended up absolutely hating it.

Every part of it was awful. Oh well, at least I can say I gave it a shot.”

8. This is cool.

“Became a music producer for film and TV at 41 years old.

Played music with bands growing up. Became high school media arts teacher and got to practice my skills almost daily. Realized I wanted to see see if I was good enough to make something out of it all. Busted my a** learning as much as I could about the business.

Fast forward 15 months- now partnered with 4 libraries from Toronto to California, collaborated with musicians from 3 different continents, written and produced over 100 songs for film and tv.

Kinda cool trajectory for a year and a half.

Fear Of Missing Out can easily be replaced with Someone’s Gonna Do It, Why Not Me?!”

9. That hurts!

“Paintball at my dad’s girlfriend’s son’s birthday party when I was like 13ish.

I did not know what a cup was since I had never done anything that needed one, and the place we were playing at did not provide anything other than a helmet.

A minute into the round someone shot me in the balls.

I hate paintball.”

10. Daredevil.

“Skydiving.

I went on a road trip with a few friends one time. They all wanted to go skydiving, but I did not, mainly because of the money.

Eventually I decided I could afford it and went. It was one of the most fun experiences of my life.”

11. Not into it.

“Oysters.

My sister-in-law and her husband had friends visiting from another country, so they took them along with my mother-in-law and me to Seattle to some foodie restaurant and one of the appetizers they ordered was oysters on the half shell.

When they noticed I wasn’t eating any they asked and I said I’ve never had them but the idea of raw goo wasn’t very appealing.

So after some convincing on their part, my brother-in-law fixed one up for me. Moral of the story, oysters are still not my jam”

12. Baby steps.

“Yesterday I went to the movies by myself because I really wanted to see the new Demon Slayer movie.

It might not sound like much but I have really bad social anxiety so it was a huge step for me and I’m very proud that.”

Okay, now it’s your turn…

Go ahead and admit what you’ve done before due to FOMO.
