I suppose it's quite common? Here too we call each other with shortened names in the teenage circles. Kind of creepy because the admission process for B.S has started and I am creeping out due to all the social contact I have to make.
Thanks for this!

showers.

I take them anyway, but they make me feel so gross and so "unclean"

maybe it's because I have issues with my looks and my body anyway, or maybe it's down to my fear of water

I don't really know
Thanks for this!

Oh my goodness, yes, I'm a guilty party. I had a friend named Michael who used to remind people that he preferred to be called Michael and not Mike. But I could not for the life of me remember to call him Michael and always called him Mike! - followed by 'Sorry Mike, I know you prefer to be called Michael. Sorry." He'd have this resigned facial expression and say, "Don't worry. It's okay." But he hated it!

My husband and I named our daughter a beautiful name. It fits her so well. She's almost 34 now and everyone outside of our family calls her a shortened name (including herself). It saddens me.

I am wierded out by such things as eating kidneys. I am game for a lot of strange and international cuisine but to eat a 'filter' (in this case urine) is just kind of odd and gross.

exactly!. that is sad!

if your parents for example gave you the name victoria, and thought it was beautiful, they would be really sad and upset if people just started calling you vicky. I guess the only acception is, is if the person in question doesn't like their name and chooses to be called something else, but it's still annoying.. just legally change your name is what I say

example: if your name is joanne, and you decide well actually, I don't want to be called joanne and people start calling you joe, I don't know about you but my first thought would be.. why is being called a boys name better than your own name? (I know joe can be boy or girl), but that would freak me out

I hate it! That’s precisely the reason why I named my daughter the kind of name you can’t shortened. People misspelled and mispronounce it but they aren’t going to shorten it!!!

i was really uncomfortable last night. It was a child's birthday party and someone brought a rifle (for a 9yr old? Really?). The kids proceeded to run around with it going 'Pow, pow" as they pointed it at one another. This really was wierd to me and creeped me out. It seemed so stupid a thing to do. I didn't get it. Cringe worth wierd.
Thanks for this!

on a related note, people openly admit that they smell, or they'll probably smell later

I heard a comment the other day

" I did take a shower today, but when I get home, I am going to stink."

who really cares

exactly the reason I don't use facebook.. stupid comments like that

Toy rifle? Real rifle? I can’t wrap my mind around it.

People who ask me, "Where are you from" then don't take America for an answer and ask, "No, where are you froooooom?" or "What's your ethnicity?".

I'm 8th generation American! Asking those questions isn't cute, it's ignorant and kind of really racist. It never fails to cause me to think less of anyone who asks those questions.
Thanks for this!

The male version is "Joe", the female version is "Jo".

My family never shortened my daughter's name; we never thought there even was a nickname for her given name. But friends of hers found a way to nickname her, and so it went.

not her fault obviously, but when she says certain words (usually, musical,), it really freaks me out

Lately I’ve been having incidents at night where I can’t tell if I’m alseep or awake. I remember one time about a month or so ago I was wandering down the hallway freaking out because I couldn’t tell if I was awake or alseep. I think this is called false awakenings?

I was also on AskReddit scary yesterday afternoon. I was reading a 1,070 comment thing titled “what is your scariest childhood memory?” I was freaking out when I was trying to fall asleep about the one where the boy swore he saw a Native American from a different time period, yelling at him to go away.

I believe some of those stories are true, not all of them but some.

Also I used to see demons and people in my room at night. I swore they were real. I also would sometimes think my mom had come in my room at night, but she would always say she hadn’t.

I used to strongly believe ghosts and demons were visiting me. Then I actually did my research on sleep paralysis and false awakenings. I’m quite skeptical now.

People who stick their tongue out or leave their tongue hanging out...whether they are so fat they can't help it or people who are on meth or people who won't stop licking their lips.
