    I’ve learned about maladaptive daydreaming, which is not a psychological term, but so perfectly describes what I’ve been doing since childhood. Although for me, not in a way that would actually have negative impacts on my life; it’s still nice to know that I’m not alone.

    And also the phrase “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”, it so perfectly describes a lot of things that bother me.

    The good ole self-reflection phrase for people who whine too much and never do anything in the moment about it: “what did they say when you asked them about it?”

    “Not my circus, not my monkeys.” Conversely:
    “Fuck, those are my monkeys.”

    I don’t speak english so lots, especially sayings. Keeping up with the Joneses blew my mind cause it added layers to “keeping up with the Kardashians” never watched it, but it’s a very clever name for a reality tv show

    • The math ain’t mathing

    It’s just exactly how my brain approaches math. It sees it as a whole entity, cannot pick out what to do next, completely panics, has an epic meltdown, and I’m left with the dumbest look on my face going like – I think that’s a number and I think you do a verb with it.

    “Everyone sucks here” from r/AmITheAsshole. It’s often the correct answer to real life messes anyway – that everyone involved sucks in varying degrees as it pertains to the mess and rarely is anyone just the villain or the hero.

    I also caught myself putting tl;dr at the bottom of an email
