I wonder if I could get cloudberries in the US, I'd love to try!
When I click the chain icon, it brings me to the post and I can see the reply comment, but not my own (which for me adds a lot of needed context for interpreting the reply). Is this normal?
I've never had a cloudberry. Do they have a unique taste or do they share similarities with other berries?
I was going to make a similar comment 😁 Love that channel
I stopped eating these because of how frequently the crumbs ended up in my bra! They are more crumble than bar, imo, and just not worth the mess!
I also "over apologize". My mom does too. We say things like, "I'm sorry this is so hard" or "I'm sorry your [insert injured body part] hurts!" when empathizing. We apologize if someone bumps into us.
For me (and my mom) this appears to be a learned behavior.
While I am from Minnesota, and my mom grew up in a small community a few hours from the Canadian border, I attribute this habit to my mom growing up with a mom who was pacified by apologies. For example: Every time someone in the family has a baby shower, my grandma is there, gifting several large wooden spoons with a "funny" anecdote of how she once broke a wooden spoon disciplining my uncle, while my mom always talked her way out of a spanking (by apologizing, giving compliments, taking on responsibility - essentially fawning). My grandma isn't "a piece of work", but I'm pretty sure she has ADHD (that lady cannot stop moving/talking!!), on top of a traumatic childhood.
I don't have anything to add other than commiseration at this point. My tendency to apologize as a social lubricant worked until I was out of college, when I started receiving feedback that it was aggravating, annoying, and made me seem weak (by people I would consider socially aggressive/takers/abusers on the extreme end of the spectrum).
If the surface of your nail is uneven it will also cause your polish to chip. My nails have these vertical ridges, which if not smoothed out cause polish to chip very quickly. The natural growth pattern of my nails + engaging in activities like gardening, hand washing dishes and clothes means I generally get about half a day of fully polished nails before the polish starts to chip.
Here's an example of the ridges to which I refer in the paragraph above:
Look into proprioception; simply put, if you're unfamiliar, proprioception is essentially the ability to perceive the boundaries of your body/where you are in space and/or in relation to things like furniture, that uneven section of the sidewalk, door frames, other people, etc. Some people have lower proprioception.
Low proprioception can also result in reduced perception of physical stimulation; this might look like someone who:
throws themselves onto the couch,
hugs too hard,
regularly gives a painfully strong handshake,
often talks too loud,
drops things frequently, etc.
It's already been mentioned that folks on the ADHD and/or autism spectrum are more likely to have low proprioception, so if you see yourself (or as you were as a child, since many descriptions are centered around ways this would present in children) in some descriptions of common experiences of those with low proprioception and also diagnosed with ADHD and/or autism, you may find value in pursuing assessment yourself (this was the case for me, diagnosed at 38). Or you may not.
Either way (associated with a medical diagnosis or not), proprioception can be improved if there is interest in doing so. For example, movements that cross the body are helpful in increasing awareness of where your body is in space, which can increase awareness of where other things are in space as well. For me this led to not only the anticipated outcome of fewer run-ins with tables, doorframes, etc, but also reduced frequency for things like dropping my keys, knocking over drinks, all forms of spilling on myself, and tripping over stuff.
My place of work provides affordable housing. Best: helping people be housed Worst: It's a toss up between knowing there are still so many people waiting for help and seeing people sucked back into the cycle of poverty
