You know what I’m tired of explaining to people?
Why I’m not married and why I don’t have kids.
It’s kind of annoying! But I can’t even imagine how much more women who are single and without kids get those questions.
What are you tired of explaining to people?
Here’s what folks said on AskReddit.
1. You’ll be fine.
“That my eczema, and other skin conditions, are NOT contagious.
It’s not leprosy and this isn’t the 16th century.”
2. Yes and yes.
“That disagreeing with someone’s opinion isn’t an attack on them.
And sharing one opinion with someone doesn’t mean you share ALL of their opinions.
And sharing one opinion with someone who shares another opinion with a third person does not mean you share ALL the opinions of that third random person you don’t even know.”
3. Doing just fine.
“Just because I stutter doesn’t mean I’m mentally challenged.
You can stop looking at me like that, thanks.”
4. Not for everyone.
“Why I don’t drink al**hol.
I’m in recovery but that’s none of their business.
So many people cant comprehend that not everyone drinks!”
5. Just the way it is.
“Why I look mad all the time.
I have an Oscar winning b**ch face.
I cannot help it. I am not mad.”
6. Keep it simple.
“I am perfectly happy doing nothing.
Could be just sitting on my couch, or my porch, or on my phone. Not having plans is the best thing ever.
I am a very simple man.”
7. From an introvert.
“The amount of people who seem to not be able to comprehend how introverts work is amazing.
We don’t h**e people, we just find it exhausting to be around them, that doesn’t mean we dislike being around them, it just means there is a limit to how much we can do.
Also some people just aren’t mentally draining to be around, that’s how you know you are really close and really like their company. Not hard people!”
8. Here we go again…
“That the red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.
There is no stopping in the white zone.”
9. Coping with it.
“That just because I seem perfectly functional, can hold a job and seem pretty assertive; does not mean that I am not constantly fighting my own mental illness, anxiety and physical ailments.
I just have strong coping mechanisms and working medication. I also have spent almost 10 years getting to this point so I can look/act this normal.”
10. Not crazy.
“That I have bipolar but it’s not like I’m a crazy socio path, I just have weird swings here and there.
I’m medicated, I see a therapist every week and I see a psychiatrist every month.”
11. So rude.
“Just because I’m in a wheelchair and I’m out in public doing my thing, doesn’t mean you, a complete stranger, can ask me “what happened?””
12. Not into religion.
“That freedom of religion also means freedom of no religion.
If someone says “God bless you” or “we are praying for you”, we are supposed to be happy for that.
But I say “Jesus f**king Christ” after I stub my toe and I get an earful about using the lord’s name in vain.
Like, those are your rules, not mine.”
