The Ask Me Anything for everyone! Have anything interesting or unique to share about yourself? Let people ask you anything.

Welcome to /r/AMA!

Please read this sidebar before posting.

If you can't act like a decent human being you will be banned. No warnings will be given. Slur usage is not allowed in this subreddit and will get you banned without warning.

Moderators can use their discretion to remove posts they think need to be (advertising, repeated reposting of the AMA, no identification [My friend said I should do an AMA, AMA.], or otherwise posts that we feel may deteriorate the subreddit.

"Abandoned" AMAs (where the OP doesn't answers any questions) will be deleted. Be advised that only when a reasonable amount of time has gone by, usually a day, in which the OP doesn't answer any questions (or only one out of many) may the post be deleted. If there are special circumstances where you can't for a period of time, please message the mods and we'd be glad to not delete it.

Note the existence of two similar subreddits: /r/AMA and /r/IAmA. The main difference is that we have about 23x less the subscribers.

But this isn't necessarily bad! Maybe you want fewer people to read your story, or you have decided that your AMA does not warrant a large audience. In any case, that's fine with us, as long as you make sure you understand the difference before posting.

If you feel that you posted your story in the wrong place, don't worry. Just delete it and post it in the right place.

I'm a clinical psychologist. AMA about my work or anything else.

I'm a clinical psychologist who specilizes in psychological assessment and trauma treatment. AMA about my work or anything else. It looks like I need to add more for this post to be acceptable for the autodelete lords. I'm in my late 20s, a dude, and I have too many areas of interest.

10 years ago I was a waitress. Now I’m a multimillionaire. AMA

Hi! 10 years ago I was a 21 year old waitress in the sports industry. Lived paycheck to paycheck and never spent more than $35 on food a week. Grew up blue collar.

I’m happy to report that’s not the case anymore! My health has even improved.

Ask me anything.

I'm struggling in college after having been homeschooled in an Evangelical family. AMA

I never went to public or private school. My parents both have postgraduate degrees and did their best to give my sisters and me a strong education, but it wasn't perfect, and we grew up fairly isolated. I've been told by multiple people here at college that it seems like my first day on earth, haha.

Note: I no longer consider myself a believer, but I'd rather not get into a debate about organized religion in general on this post, so I'll only be speaking to my personal experience with Christianity.

Title is pretty much it. I don't know of a lot of people who have this job and thought it might be cool to chat with anyone if they have questions:)

I’m schizoaffective and have “imaginary friends” AMA

To answer the obvious first question: no they are not hallucinations. My ex and I grew a large collection of stuffed animals over our three years living together and gave them elaborate backstories and ongoing stories, voices, etc.

I cannot drink or anything cold due to a chronic condition, AMA

I cannot drink or eat anything cold without accompanying or following it with a hot drink. People who drink only cold water, I envy you.

It has made me consider unaliving myself.

I have BPD and live a fully healthy life, AMA

Hello,

I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder in December of 2022. I have had it since I was way younger though. I have had all 9 symptoms of BPD. I still have enough symptoms to be considered moderately borderline but I live a very healthy and normal life. Ask me anything.

Edit: I love all your questions, please keep asking things. I will always give an honest answer. Thank you everyone 🫶🏼🥰

I was diagnosed with a food addiction as a child and had to undergo treatment. I still struggle not to relapse. AMA.

My (26M) dad was a control freak about food, and I have ARFID (+ autism). He handled it poorly, as an understatement. I was in psychiatric treatment with a specialist for a while when I was little (around 6-8 years old), and at that time I was diagnosed with a binge eating addiction because of my lack of self-control with safe foods.

I still have constant GI and dietary issues that impact my quality of life. It permanently damaged my relationship with food. My body periodically self-starves during PTSD flare-ups and I lose a lot of weight during that time (I struggle to maintain weight in general), I have heartburn multiple times a day and other digestive issues... The list goes on way too long.

I’ll answer anything about it. Nothing is too intrusive, I’m an open book.

[Meta] Mods, can we put a rule in place to get rid of AMA posts that are clearly just OnlyFans spam?

The number of "I used to be a whatever and now I do porn" posts are getting out of hand. These aren't NSFW posts, they're just thinly veiled advertisements to try to boost their subs. Could expand rule 5, 6, or 11 to fit this.

I live in the north of England. AMA!

We get overlooked by the south and London, so I thought I’d give this a go.

I will point out that the north feels quite different to the southeast where I grew up, it almost doesn’t feel like England (not in the way that I’m familiar with it😅).

Anyway…. AMA! Lifestyle, climate, politics, music, creative arts, education, jobs, food, people, geography…

Father and Sister passed within a year apart (31F) AMA

I've returned to Reddit because it's something about interacting with people and genuinely caring for people. Last year my Dad passed away due to liver failure due to being an alcoholic. His alcoholism is something he lived with all my life. My parent's relationship was never "normal" both parties were emotionally, physically and mentally abusive. My mother is also an alcoholic. The more I grew up to be an adult, I understood a lot of their relationship and who provoked who. I am still in the grieving state of my dad. I decided to accept his alcoholism and who he was 2 years ago. 2 weeks ago today, my sister passed. My sister did not have a great year. My sister started to crumble in March when she was telling people she was being watched and devices were listening in. There were many more incidents that happened and if you would like to know; please ask. My sister commuted sucide on 11/8 and my mom found her unconscious on my sister's bedroom floor. My sister was is an organ donor, I took on all responsibilities of my sister medically and donation and services. My sister was able to help 5 people 🩵 My mother always looked at me for answers. I want people to know they are not alone and I still have what ifs and questions on my sister. Grieving my 2 favorite people was not on my 2024 bingo card. Feel free to AMA pretty open and again just want to help others going through if something similar. I still feel pretty alone in this.

I'm Russian who moved to Canada 10 years ago and became a Canadian, AMA

I just turned 27 and really felt like sharing my experience with those who may have any questions related to culture, food, politics, movies, music, lifestyle, etc. I have been keeping closely in touch with Russian context and thought very deeply about differences throughout years, so if anyone has any questions whatsoever, I'm an open book.

I'm a person with quite a few hobbies that I never have time for, but don't want to give up, AMA

Hi there, can't sleep, so I'll inflict myself upon the internet instead.

I am a Marketing Assistant and Graphic Designer, but when I'm not at work, I;

  • do graphic design both freelance and personal
  • sketch/illustrate both traditionally and digitally
  • write fiction and blogs/articles/thoughts
  • play videogames
  • do video editing
  • record and commentate clips
  • sing and record myself for practice
  • enjoy watching movies and streaming series
  • read fiction, articles, essays, research papers, interviews, poetry, philosophy, industry-specific news
  • like going on walks, but not always
  • play boardgames, card games
  • listen to music, memorise lyrics and research. (I deep dive into it, the lyrical meaning, the themes, the artists, their history, their process and influences, etc).
  • really love conversating with people about various topics
  • take photos of spiders up close
  • take photos of everything, get very into my limited phone's pro/manual photo settings, lighting, angles, and composition.

But I work a lot and have many children, so I do not give these hobbies the time they deserve some weeks.
