    My social security number. How embarrassing is yours?

    (Please don’t post your actual number, even for the lolz)

    I met my wife because I was flirting with this woman and then she left and my wife showed up and in my drunken state I thought she was the same girl I was talking to before so rizz was exceptional and I ended up keeping her after that night.

    10 years later we got married last year! Woo! Embarrassment!

      No shade, that’s cool. IDGAF what you look like once I know you, and that you are in tune with the emotion of the situation.

      Paraphrasing a folk singer I respect here, but “I used to cry when needed, I can’t cry for the life of me anymore as an adult.”

      Tears communicate that either I’ve fucked up, or there’s something I legit misunderstood, and I need to take a step back.

      In some ways, I envy your ability to do that. Professional me doesn’t scree around, personal me rather wishes I could cry it out once in a while.

      I’ve spent a lifetime fixing my inclination to escalate at the first sign of conflict, and…. It’s been brutal. I’m thrilled to mostly be gentle these days, but it still requires work.

      You never gave into the BS.

    Everything.

    I live in Morocco yet I have immense trouble fitting in with Moroccan society. I don’t like the customs, most of the food is pretty mid, our music scene is hot garbage, I’m literally queer (just saying that in front of everyone could get me in prison), everyone is obsessed with football and I’m sick of it, I could go on.

    I don’t know if I’m just a rare and strange breed, or if it’s simply a case of “nationality dysphoria”, but I think literally existing in a space like this is embarrassing enough to give me conspiracies to leave. Problem is, there is Moroccan diaspora everywhere, especially in the country I’m interested in (which is Belgium, I just love how wild they are), and locals are sick of us, not to mention… visas, motherf***er. I am basically trapped here, in constant threat of weird looks at best, and literal death at worst. Yeah, this is indeed the most embarrassing thing about me.

    Not embarrassing, weird maybe?

    I secretly enjoy weird combination of foods (sometimes too exotic)

    • milkshake and broccoli (or any veggie)

    • watermelon and salt

    • tortillas with papaya and whole lot of chilly pepper

    I could go on…

      Are you alternating? Or combining?

      Watermelon and salt sounds perfectly sane to me because chemistry.

      Tortillas, fruit, and chili doesn’t make sense to me, but I’ve appropriated a ton of foods that “just work” to me so…. I get it nonetheless.

    You know that scene with the guy on the castle wall in Monty Python and the Holy Grail that farts in your general direction?
    Yeah, I giggled.

      You better come to terms with that. I used to play twitch shooters all the time… I now have an essential tremor and in your thirties your reflexes really start to go.

    I’m too embarrassed to tell you. I’ll give you a freebie, though: I bought Mega Man X7 for the PlayStation 2. Unironically. On purpose. Having enjoyed the previous Mega Man X games, I didn’t think for a second it would be bad.

    It was bad.

      Haha. The Honeymooners nose is funny as fuck and as as a fellow ace is can’t imagine how annoying it must be. The universe truly plays mean pranks at times

    It’s hard to decide: Certain physical features often associated with beauty are too prominent on me. I have a habit of under-describing my best qualities when asked. And I’m too dang humble for my own good.

    Either that I only eat frozen meals and don’t cook. Or that I have never had any friends. Or that I’m a cis female but have a ton of excess hair in the wrong spots (esp on my chin and neck) I try to keep on top of. Or that I’ve never been in a relationship and I’m 30. So many things to choose from!

    My life is not so bad, though! The internet exists both for human connection and for entertainment. And I have a good job so I make enough to buy random crap.

      You’re like a female version of me. Except I’m only 27 and I have a lack of hair where men typically have a lot and I don’t have a job currently.

      I’ll just suggest to you, get an ebike, then you can hide how unfit you are 😏. Takes all the stress out of hills and some of the stress out of having impatient cars behind you, and keeps the enjoyable parts.

        “Why don’t you just leave?”

        I don’t know, because I don’t have any fucking money or help or anywhere to go, and he’d torture me to the ends of the earth if I did?
