Unbeckoned, they pop into your head.

A place to post random thoughts that leak out of your brain.


Rules

1. Posts must be Random Thoughts. Submissions must be in the format of a "random thought". We're NOT a venting/ranting/soapboxing/etc subreddit.

2. No hate speech, harassment or bullying.

  • Hate speech will not be tolerated in any way. Hate speech is against Reddit's Content Policy.

  • The use of slurs or intentional aggressive/offensive interactions, racism, homo/transphobia and other forms of attacks on minority groups will result in a ban.

  • Arguing, harassment and bullying has no place on this subreddit, please report all instances so we can review/remove the submissions.

3. No taboo or immoral thoughts. Topics that may fall under this rule may be, but are not restricted to; CSAM/Pedophillia, violence or harm towards others and admittance of a severe crime.

  • Encouraging topics that may fall under the bracket of taboo or illegal are forbidden here.

  • Bans in these instances are at the discretion of the moderators based on the severity of the infraction.

4. No posts about politics or religion. Posts centered around politics, political stances and religion are extremely hot button topics not only just on this subreddit but on Reddit as a whole. Due to previous incidents and instances of hate speech, violence, threats and bigotry, we no longer allow either political nor religious posts.

Political posts opens the door for hate speech, LGBTQIA+ bigotry, vicious arguing, white supremacy and racism.

Religious posts open the door to religious bigotry, personal attacks and fear-mongoring.

5. Tag your NSFW submissions as NSFW and Report submissions not tagged. For the sake of the minors of this subreddit who do not wish to see sexually explicit or generally NSFW content on their feeds, please do not post NSFW content here that is not tagged as such. Doing so opens a sexually explicit conversation with minors whether intentional or not and it is completely inappropriate. Not only this, but doing so also makes your post appear on the feeds of minors who have their 18+ filters on to keep NSFW content off their feeds.

6. Incels are not welcome here | Incel posts are not allowed. "Incels" as a community have been dubbed as a terrorist group whos morals lie in bigotry, misogyny and violence. We have found that when incels make posts here, things turn vicious, hateful and concerning very quickly.

We class incels as a hate group and as such, all incel content falls under hate speech/immoral context and is not allowed here.

Please go to therapy.

7. Harassment in modmail or towards the moderators will not be tolerated. Moderators are Reddit users who voluntarily take on the role of managing subreddits, we are under no obligation to take any of your shit. If you come tearing into modmail with aggression and hate, you'll either be met with the same energy or straight out muted and ignored completely.

8. Do not post nonsensical spam/shitposts, they will be removed.

Going through quarter-life crisis

Heh… it started a year ago, I started realizing how pathetic my love life was, I’m a few semesters away from graduating and having not retained anything I learned and unsure about my decisions in life, the fact I’m entirely dependent on others with zero social intelligence… and the list goes on. I felt lost and my self esteem plummeted. Having chronic depression and anxiety that turned into daily panic attacks.

It was a full fledged identity crisis! Although things have settled down after understanding myself on a deep level and facing unresolved issues I still don’t know where or how to begin to improve my current life and how to achieve my now realized goals that span multiple areas in my life; social, physical, academic, …etc

Anyways… pls share your thoughts and experience on the subject.

Suggest friends

I wish there was a way for Reddit to suggest other users who are interested in the same subreddits. Kinda like a matchup between similar minded people. Idk just think it would be a nice way to make friends

I had an epiphany recently

The reason most kids cartoons go to such great lengths to avoid saying the word "fart" is because their content is so hypersterilized that a fart can be classified as a bioweapon!

"You complete me."

People say that you shouldn't seek a partner to complete you, that you should be complete on your own. Complete is 100%, not 90% or 80%. 100%. So anything above that is extra. A significant other is extra. They are unnecessary. Something you don't need, just something you want. But even then, why want something when you are already complete? Why aren't you satisfied with 100%? I guess it is human nature to always want more, fine. But if you lose that person, does it warrant sadness? Take your grieving period sure, but remember, you are complete and nothing is missing from your life. Your bed is not empty, your breakfast table is not empty, the couch you used to watch movies together on is not empty. You don't depend on other people for your happiness. Remember, you are 100%.

If you couldn't tell, I was being facetious. I have everything in life that I want, except for that somebody. I created this post because of another post where someone felt empty, and the advice given in the comments I couldn't relate to at all. I go to the gym, I have a stable job, plenty of hobbies. Don't tell me I just need go outside and get fresh air and everything will be ok. I've tried therapy. Get a dog? You really think a dog is a good substitute for a wife and kids? I really like dogs, but it's not the same. There are a lot of animal lovers out there, I get it. They offer great companionship. Some people can be happy with just that, and good for them. But I am not like that, nor do I want to be like that. We are all built different and all have different needs. In fact, some people would actually rather be alone. Good for them.

As for myself, I am not complete and I will never be complete on my own. "A relationship won't fix you." Who said I'm broken? I said I'm missing something, or rather someone, and there's a difference. My only problem is not having a significant other, so yes, entering a meaningful relationship will literally solve every single problem I have in life. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there are some underlying issues that I just haven't become aware of. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong. Thoughts?

It’s difficult to eat healthy and stick to whole unprocessed foods. Not only is it damn expensive but time consuming.

Has anyone grown up poor and is rich as an adult? What behaviours do you do daily that would send your younger self into a coma?

For example, when my shampoo is finished I simply now just throw it away instead of adding water to it and making it last longer diluted. Similarly, I can use as much dish soap as I need, because it’s not the biggest expense. I don’t need to dilute it once it runs out, I simply get a new bottle.

I hoard and buy food to the point it goes bad and I have to put it in the trash, because I’ve simply forgotten I bought it. The thought of having food in the fridge and pantries makes me happy, even if I don’t eat it.

If someone asks me the price of something standard, like bread, milk, or eggs, I wouldn’t know. I no longer need to know, but I have a rough estimate I often go by.

Just curious to see what other’s versions of this is!

Technically, you’ve been inside your grandmother

This is because when your mother was a fétus, your egg cell developed inside of her, so while you were still in your mum, and your mum was in your grandmother, you’ve technically been in her

Do you have strange habits to cope with stress?

Showers are my solution to every problem in my life. If I'm having a stressful day, or I'm depressed, or things are going downhill, or I need to think about something in deep, or I'm too hungry to cook but have nothing worth eating in the pantry, or if I'm sick, have a migraine, meet someone I dislike in the street, or my son has been whinny all day, I just go and take a shower. It usually works very well. Helps me snap out of whatever negative emotions I'm having to be able to think things through. I'm sure this is weird and a lot of people would criticize me for wasting water and oh the environment, but comparing to many other habits people maintain to get rid of stress, I think this one is relatively harmless and cheap.
Do y'all have anything similar? Like something small that just keeps you going even though other people might not understand it?

People let their diagnosis define them too much

When people get diagnosed with ADHD, depression etc they let it define them too much and it stops them from doing things. Some use it as an excuse (me).
