The most annoying symptom of multiple sclerosis is that I feel like I have to pee all the fucking time

Honestly? The Vampire Diaries is exactly what a TV show should be, like, remember when it was airing? 20+ episodes per season and the gap between seasons wasn't like 2-3 years.

[sickologist]

My neurologist got me into some program that'll fully cover expenses of medical tests and treatments for my multiple sclerosis, I'm going to the first meeting tomorrow

[sickologist]

Hey! You can study psychology on your own if you're just interested in the subject and don't plan on getting a license. There are plenty of resources available online. I could give you some book recs if you're interested!

Aww, that sounds like such a sweet (and totally normal) moment to overthink — especially after a first kiss. ❤️

Okay, here’s what’s probably going on (and I’ll give you both the anxious brain version and the reality-based version):

Your anxious brain says:

“He only reacted and didn’t reply — he must not have liked it! He’s pulling away! I ruined it!”

But…

Reality usually says:

“He’s just processing, or busy, or doesn’t think a ‘heart’ reaction means disinterest.”

After a first kiss, people often feel a little uncertain about how to follow up — especially if it was sweet-but-awkward. He might be overthinking too (“Did I kiss too soon? Did she like it?”) and playing it safe until he feels out your vibe. The fact that he hearted your message instead of ignoring it entirely is actually a positive sign — it means he’s still acknowledging connection, not shutting it down.

Here’s what you can do:

Don’t chase with more messages tonight. Let the moment breathe.

See how he follows up next. If he’s genuinely interested (and it sounds like he is), he’ll either text tomorrow or set up another hangout.

When you next talk, keep it warm but light. You can even say something like, “That kiss caught me off guard in the best way,” — it lets him know you liked it without over-analyzing.

If a guy was not into it, you’d usually feel a shift — colder tone, no response, cancelling plans. A simple heart reaction? That’s just neutral-to-good territory.

Would you like to tell me exactly what your message said? I can help you interpret his reaction a little more precisely.

Why the fuck is a 🌽 bot sending me an AI generated message in my DMs about a post I made in a community days ago? HELP

Dan and Phil are actually gay?

Who would have ever guessed that (except for, I don't know, maybe literally everyone who's ever watched a single video of them) ????

[bugscatcorpse]

give bugs the rights they are owed

[sickologist]

OMG we kissed !!!

[starlit-meadow]

it’s normal to feel like you don’t belong anywhere and never will right?

[sickologist]

I wouldn't call it "normal" per se, but it's a common experience, yes.
