How I handle Returning expired milk Without saying a word.

How I handle Returning expired milk Without saying a word. Returning items is a nightmare. I get terrified of blocking on dates and numbers while a line forms behind me. So I generate the script befo...

No. I used it as a testing method for how human they were. Punch that fear shit in the throat. Never settle....

Do you disclose your stutter before dates/put it on your dating profile? I never really thought about it but once my friend brought it up I realized how I would feel if someone didn’t disclose somethi...

No. They’re expert gaslighters who routinely diminish my feelings so I don’t see the point...

My wife and I attended a wedding recently and we were seated with 6 absolute strangers. I was pretty anxious before getting seated, but then I thought to myself, “fuck it I’m going to walk up to that...

I’ve spoken to my wife and kids openly about it for many years. It’s only recently that I’ve started to open up about it with my close mates, and they’ve always been encouraging and reminding me of a...
