I [28f] am pretty convinced I have “supernatural” experiences regularly. My fiancé [29m] who I’ve been with for 5 years makes fun of me for believing in what I feel I see and and experience.




Sigh.

I was all set to write a seriouspost about how if your "reality" gives you sweating hyperventilating near-panic attacks, regularly, you need to do something to address it because that's no way to live

but that loving ending :discourse: just lol

Comments, unsurprisingly, are 95% Redditors telling the OP to see a drat doctor and OP's replies are 100% trying to steer the conversation back toward how her boyfriend is a jerk

They're pretty harsh on the boyfriend too but honestly refusing to seek help for an issue as major as this is a huge red flag and he's a loving saint for just making fun of her for it instead of walking out over it

True story: I have a friend who, when he was in his 20s, hooked up a few times with a woman in her 70s that he met on Fetlife. He said she kept complaining about her kids and casually mentioning that she had these boxes that needed to be taken up to the attic. Cheaper than hiring a mover I guess.

Went over to a friends' place. Thought we were going to watch an Attenborough documentary. Turned out to be porn.
tl;dr It was one of the worst social experiences of my life. Two of my exes were there. I left about ten minutes into the video. Everyone thought I was a prude and I hang out with exactly 0 of them, now, so at least they're rid of me!

I cannot even fathom why a bunch of friends would watch porn together unless they are going to then gently caress each other.

Some guys I went to college with were renting a house near where I live and I dropped by to visit one evening and they were all sitting in the back yard drinking beer and watching hardcore pornography on a laptop, just right there in open view of about 5 other houses. Just 4 dudes watching 4 dudes run a train on Sasha Grey. I left pretty quick, it was odd.

Remember all the stories of the early Goon Meets where theyd 'ironically' put on gay porn and watch it together and talk about how hilarious it was

the Pirates porn: funny to talk about the concept of, awkward to discuss the specific details of, super awkward to actually put on to watch with people

Once at a college party I went to, someone put on a weird porn he had found involving pterodactyl costumes

It was one of the host's roommates and I suspect he was trying to make everyone leave so he could get some sleep

He also spent a while discussing a horrific injury he had suffered to his scrotum while biking

Yeah, the boyfriend does kind of sound a bit mean here, but if she's actively refusing to do anything about her problem then he's clearly just at his breaking point on the issue (especially since she insists on framing it as paranormal instead of some sort of medical issue).

I actually hope it is sleep apnea, because then the doctor's advice would be "lose weight," he would be 100% correct, and OP would absolutely melt down about it and lose her boyfriend

This is the first thing I thought of after reading her post. When I was fat I had very severe sleep apnea and it caused all sorts of hosed up issues with my sleep. I lost 120lbs and the problem went away.

Or I was haunted by a ghost who just really wanted me to lose weight. :ghost:

I was once hanging out with a male friend and a female friend, and the male friend put on an MMF video so I suspect he was trying to send a signal to the girl. She just said "gross" and he turned it off. Also yeah one time my friend showed me a weird dinosaur porn, because of the weird humor of it. Once at a poker game someone had a girls gone wild video playing on the TV in the background. That's about all I can think of as far as seeing porn with other people around.

In college one of my friends was dating this selfish annoying girl that we all hated. Eventually we found out that she gets transfixed by porn and will just sit there in silence and watch the whole thing.

So every party we had when she was there we had a laptop playing the longest porn videos we could find just so we could ignore her all night.

Unrelated, but what was your key to losing the 120? I've also lost 120 but put like 70 back on. I'm doing the same thing I did before but it works less good 6 years later. Who would have thought 29 and 35 could feel so different!

This is incredible. Did she just sit there unblinkingly staring at it, did she drool, was she like a dog with a mirror?

It's super different for everyone but for me it started with therapy to address my issues with emotional eating and then lots of dedication to eating right and exercise. I took up weight lifting and running, quit drinking so much and started paying more attention to my portion sizes. I've kept the weight off for around 3 years now.
