[u/AlephNaughtPlusOne]

[u/Unbekannnt0]

I do that as well, but I'm also no way near being attractive

[u/this_barb → u/Unbekannnt0]

Aww don't say that. You're a 10 too!

​

​

​

​

Out of 100.

[u/LycanWolfGamer → u/this_barb]

Thought you was being wholesome, then I saw the "out of 100" and prompty laughed

[u/LvHover → u/LycanWolfGamer]

yep, that was the goal of the joke.

[u/guilty_bystander → u/LvHover]

OHHHH that's what jokes are

[u/magicalpony3 → u/guilty_bystander]

I don't get it... Peetah!...

[u/D_Bellman → u/[deleted]]

Yes that's how fractions work.

[u/MaiT3N → u/[deleted]]

Like 100 out of 1000, yeah

[u/HighKiteSoaring → u/this_barb]

Baha

[u/Youre_doomed → u/Unbekannnt0]

[u/Misterdickstick → u/Unbekannnt0]

Same buddy same

[u/dafuqULoKINat → u/Unbekannnt0]

Lol same. No one would call me cute for that 🥲

[u/Lexnaut → u/Unbekannnt0]

Best way to get rid of intrusive thoughts.

[u/CrownEatingParasite → u/[deleted]]

Here come the keyboard psychiatrists

[u/Hailhi → u/Unbekannnt0]

Nah dont say that work on yourself

[u/saalsa_shark]

Ask her if she's having an etch-a-sketch-ial crisis

[u/Rusty-oxidazed → u/saalsa_shark]

You mean a seizure?

[u/Muntsly → u/Rusty-oxidazed]

Damn girl, you one of them sketchophrenics?

[u/CovidReference → u/Rusty-oxidazed]

Sketch-a-lepsy

[u/JimPanse5 → u/saalsa_shark]

Ok you win

[u/Heckin_good_time → u/saalsa_shark]

Sir you are not allowed to be that clever

[u/ConfidentScale6832 → u/saalsa_shark]

I can’t tell this is suppose to be a play on.

Wait I got it? Existential? Brooooo lmao that’s such a stretch

[u/mushy_friend]

Soooo... She's an 11? Cuz thats adorable

[u/brufanrayela → u/mushy_friend]

She's 11? Cuz that's

[u/Stashmygroshen → u/brufanrayela]

Amore

[u/_chof_ → u/Stashmygroshen]

when she shake shakes her head

clears ex is ten tial dread,

thats amore

[u/Holmes02 → u/_chof_]

when she wants to stab you in the eye

until you bleed out and die

thats amore

[u/_chof_ → u/Holmes02]

when holmes02 writes,

their words cut like a knife

thats a foray

[u/brufanrayela → u/Stashmygroshen]

Suitable partner?

[u/Stashmygroshen → u/brufanrayela]

Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps.

[u/whomstvde → u/Stashmygroshen]

Yellow nation attacks

[u/DrJotaroBigCockKujo → u/mushy_friend]

Adorable until she's having a full-blown panic attack at 3 a.m. because a little shakey-shake doesn't help anymore with the constant stream of horrific scenarios that are only getting worse by the day <3

Honestly, it's really not that cute, it's pretty shit. The right partner to hold your hand can be a help, but lots of guys just go "ohh quirky qt gf <3" and can't deal with the reality of it once the mask crumbles.

edit to clarify: I'm talking about real intrusive thoughts, not the synonym for "normal human thinking" used on social media atm

[u/XPWall → u/mushy_friend]

Don't ROMANTICIZE intrusive thoughts PLEASE.

[u/Gooftwit → u/XPWall]

Everyone has intrusive thoughts. It comes free with your consciousness.

[u/Aegelo_Sperris42 → u/Gooftwit]

"Dude i don't have intrusive thoughts"

"What do you mean?"

"It's not here"

"Dude, it came free with your conscious"

[u/dalek1019 → u/XPWall]

Romanticize control over your intrusive thoughts 💞

[u/MaiT3N → u/dalek1019]

Please

[u/DaveSmith890 → u/XPWall]

Why? I love hearing all unique intrusive thoughts. I’m pretty inclusive about exclusive intrusive thoughts as long as they aren’t obtrusive

[u/thelivingshitpost]

I either impulsively do that or just play Tetris obsessively to chase them away. Intrusive thoughts are horrible.

[u/white_pheasant → u/thelivingshitpost]

What's your high score?

[u/Unlikely-Example-640 → u/white_pheasant]

At least 7

[u/thelivingshitpost → u/Unlikely-Example-640]

Correct!

[u/Klowned → u/white_pheasant]

I hit 111K once and I could have kept going, but my legs fell asleep.

[u/thelivingshitpost → u/white_pheasant]

Currently about 70,000, I do 50,000 on average. I’m getting better though, been climbing closer to the 60k area.

[u/Mtwat → u/thelivingshitpost]

I bite the tip of my tongue so I know all the swear words running through my brain aren't actually coming out.

[u/Bladed_Cargo → u/thelivingshitpost]

The PCs clear all the pain away

[u/theoriginalmofocus → u/thelivingshitpost]

I dunno they might be better than the trauma you do this for to stop your mind from chasing the rabbit down the hole.

[u/empiricallySubjectiv]

Wish my insane tics were cute lmao

[u/Thisguy_2727 → u/empiricallySubjectiv]

I’m just in here ecstatic that other people do this shit too. Lmao

[u/Unfair-Custard-4007]

New rapper name lil etcha a sketch dibs

[u/guilty_bystander → u/Unfair-Custard-4007]

Random, but what's with everyone being "lil" this and "lil" that?

[u/HighKiteSoaring → u/guilty_bystander]

Because they have no imagination

Doesnt speak to the creativity of a rapper when they can't even think of a stage name that doesn't suck

[u/picabo123 → u/guilty_bystander]

It's probably someone's nickname and then when one person gets famous everyone starts calling their friend "lil Chris" and then he gets famous and so on. What's with Sir? Or what about Mr?

[u/theknghtofni → u/Unfair-Custard-4007]

I call using lil teapot cuz I'm short and stout

[u/MyPenWroteThis]

I feel like I'm giving myself horrible ticks. When it's bad I jerk my head to one side and let out a guttural "HOO!"

I might need a therapist

[u/Biernar → u/MyPenWroteThis]

I do some version of this. Been to a therapist also. A therapist can't really cure you, but teach you how to deal with this stuff in a healthy way.

[u/Amp3r → u/Biernar]

You mean there is more help out there than just "try and not do it?" lmao

[u/Butt_Stuph]

Doesn't everyone do that?

[u/EquivalentSnap → u/Butt_Stuph]

No

[u/ileeny12 → u/[deleted]]

No armchair diagnoses here. But have you ever been evaluated?

What OP and you describe can happen with OCD. I'm OCD and I go through this almost daily.

[u/kandel88 → u/Butt_Stuph]

I ride out my intrusive thoughts with elevated heartbeat, thousand yard stare, and a can-do attitude

[u/ngs1989 → u/Butt_Stuph]

I punch my palm.

[u/Letwen → u/ngs1989]

I obey the thoughts

[u/ngs1989 → u/Letwen]

My intrusive thoughts all revolve around palm-punching.

[u/ThingWithChlorophyll → u/Butt_Stuph]

Normal people doesn't

[u/---DemonSlayer--- → u/ThingWithChlorophyll]

Don’t*

[u/ThingWithChlorophyll → u/---DemonSlayer---]

Guess this fact suddenly became wrong because I made a grammar mistake lol

[u/CrownEatingParasite → u/ThingWithChlorophyll]

Define normal

[u/ThingWithChlorophyll → u/CrownEatingParasite]

Opposite of this post

[u/CrownEatingParasite → u/ThingWithChlorophyll]

You might be stupid

[u/Similar-Sector-5801]

11

[u/[deleted]]

i shake my head to stop from having a full body shiver. why does that work and why did i start doing it idk, but its just an instinct now.

[u/HerculeMuscles]

So cute when you're tortured by your own thoughts.

[u/gudetamaronin → u/HerculeMuscles]

Something so adorable about the prison of an overactive mind

[u/BeneficialName9001 → u/gudetamaronin]

This but unironically 😍

[u/Savings-Nobody-1203 → u/HerculeMuscles]

Fr, the tone of this tweet is kinda pissing me off

[u/BonfireMaestro]

Natalie Portman in Garden State

[u/Okbudhaha → u/BonfireMaestro]

Kristen Stewart in everything.

[u/The_Formuler → u/Okbudhaha]

Natalie Portman being the light side of that coin and Kristen Stewart being the dark side

[u/Supputage]

What?

[u/DrBob666]

Wait other people do this? Yay

[u/MrDoontoo]

I do this when I'm lost in my own thoughts and need to get back on task. I do it a lot because I'm diagnosed with ADD

[u/UCG__gaming]

Trying to hide the name in Nordic?

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE “METANOÖ MAGICC”

[u/bluefishegg → u/UCG__gaming]

Not really Nordic as much as Germanic, nords used elder futhark for a period, but it evolved into younger futhark pre to early viking age.

Nice translation though

[u/shadowlev]

Sometimes if you say "shut up shut up shut up" to yourself it doesn't help but it feels like it should

[u/Pickle_Slinger]

I’ve never had an original experience I guess

[u/AlayaKina]

I work construction. wanted to cut off my Hand on a sawblade yesterday, the saw was spinning so nicely it was hypnotising. I'll try shaking my head next time too

[u/-_Kanny_-]

im her, she's me

[u/GloveBoxTuna → u/-_Kanny_-]

I am you, we are one

[u/Funk24July → u/GloveBoxTuna]

Who is ‘you’— & what is ‘one’ ?

[u/Monster_Girl_Fucker]

100/10 then

[u/PropheticVisionary]

… and if I do this but I’m only like a 5?

[u/HotType4940 → u/PropheticVisionary]

I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this but you need to be at least a 7 before your neuroses and mental illnesses become endearing

[u/LasagnaLizard0 → u/HotType4940]

and the intrusive thoughts can't be too disturbing you're only allowed to be mentally ill in a pretty and non-threatening way

[u/alwaysoffline_XD]

She's not a 10 inspite of that, She's a 10 because of that.

[u/I_Happen_to_Be_Here → u/alwaysoffline_XD]

I for one don't really feel like having intrusive thoughts bouncing around my head has improved my metascore. What kind of positive effect would you say it has on someone's character? I'm genuinely curious.

[u/asterfloof]

Why is this relatable

[u/therudereditdude]

Hey! I do that too

[u/Tough_Wolverine_5609]

wtf is “etch a sketch” supposed to mean?

[u/lnvisible_Sandwich → u/Tough_Wolverine_5609]

Shit am I old? Do people not know what a etch a sketch is anymore?

[u/James-Cooper123 → u/lnvisible_Sandwich]

I know people who dont understand the concept of a CD… im only 28, and i feel old as shit too..

[u/-AnimeGirl → u/James-Cooper123]

If it helps I’m 20 and understand both those things. I also feel very old

[u/mayyur17 → u/Tough_Wolverine_5609]

It's like an erasable paint board, if you see it you'll remember it.

[u/_chof_ → u/Tough_Wolverine_5609]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4CTyWwQrMo

an etch a sketch is a tiny box filled with powder. there is a transparent screen on the front.

inside the box is a stylus that touches the screen. when the stylus touches the screen, it wipes away the powder, creating lines (almost like a pencil and paper)

you control the stylus using a left knob and right knob. one knob moves the stylus up and down. one knob moves it right and left.

sounds simple, but you can make really intricate pictures this way.

when you are done, you can shake the box. then, the powder will cover your drawing and you can start a new one.

[u/gio_85]

run

[u/Funk24July → u/gio_85]

Saying it so calmly sounds kind of scarier

[u/Count_of_Borsod]

Stop fetishizing mental illness you sick fucks

Being in distress because of intrusive thoughts is not cute

[u/leadhound → u/Count_of_Borsod]

Yes it is (I do it)

[u/EquivalentSnap → u/Count_of_Borsod]

I agree with you. It is not 😢

[u/dalek1019 → u/Count_of_Borsod]

I don't see any distress here

[u/DownvoteDealer23]

What

[u/StartledPelican → u/DownvoteDealer23]

SHE'S A 10 BUT SHAKES HER HEAD TO GET RID OF INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS LIL ETCH A SKETCH 🥰

[u/DownvoteDealer23 → u/StartledPelican]

Huh

[u/kinezumi89 → u/DownvoteDealer23]

She's a 10 - he rates her 10/10

Intrusive thoughts - negative thoughts (often from anxiety) creep into your brain, often without warning (and always without wanting)

Etch-a-Sketch: a popular children's toy from I wanna say the 90s, you'd spin two little dials to control a cursor (example) It's filled with black granules that adhere to the screen where the cursor passes, allowing you to draw a design. You shake the Etch-a-Sketch when you're done sketching to release the granules, leaving a clean slate

[u/DownvoteDealer23 → u/kinezumi89]

I’m going to give your comment an upvote just because I’m appreciative of your effort to accurately explain the text, however, my real question is why is that here? Where was this person’s punctuation? They should worry about getting an education not about how psycho their “10” is. This sub is turning into all the other garbage subs.

[u/jetsetmike → u/DownvoteDealer23]

Today the DownvoteDealer became the DownvoteReceiver

[u/Anxious_DeerBoi → u/jetsetmike]

That’s actually a common occurrence for them lol

[u/SuitableRadio2249 → u/DownvoteDealer23]

Hilarious it's obviously true idk why they down voting you. Sounded like a ducking 12 year old

[u/redcommunists → u/SuitableRadio2249]

We did it Reddit, we united and beat the intelligent person! You win the internet for the day, take my angry upvote and get out of here slash woooosh!

[u/kinezumi89 → u/DownvoteDealer23]

Oh I certainly don't think the post is funny lol, plus the "but" doesn't make sense - is shaking your head when you have intrusive thoughts a negative thing? And then the emoji makes it seem like a positive thing too

But as for the grammar, it's twitter, not English class. Where was the punctuation in your two comments? (edit: at least I'm guessing it's twitter lol)

[u/iR3vives → u/kinezumi89]

This meme format always implies that the "but" is a positive trait that makes them an 11/10...

He's literally saying he finds it cute.

[u/kinezumi89 → u/iR3vives]

Ahh makes sense! Thanks for explaining

[u/TickleTigger123]

She so real for that

[u/Ambitious_Arm852]

Erm how often though?

[u/Dear-Tank2728]

Me when the visions become too strong when im trying to go to sleep

[u/WilhelmVonCruel]

Intrusive thoughts like writing a name in runes or intrusive thoughts like murdering fascists?

[u/Negative_Newspaper67]

I'm trying to change it to snapping my fingers

[u/Xen_End]

[u/Acceptable_Loss23]

I feel somewhat called out.

[u/Apex_Herbivore]

Thats a nice way of thinking of it.

[u/ParasocialButterfIy]

truly hoping no one has seen me do this on campus

[u/Thrapeaway]

[u/Altruistic_Cup_8436]

[u/blackteashirt]

It's when she stops shaking her head you have to worry.

[u/Big_carrot_69]

[u/tobster239]

[u/biscuitman76]

Jfc same?!?!? I thought I was relatively alone out here

[u/Accurate-Variety-771]

Why did I assume that was her age?

[u/PandaGirl-98]

I close my eyes and shake my head whenever I remember something embarrassing

[u/DenizenIV]

I guess it's better than saying "shut up, stupid brain"

[u/0x7E7-02]

I thought everyone shook their heads to get rid of intrusive thoughts. I also throw in a "no" just for good measure.

[u/LycanWolfGamer]

Do what I do...

Let em win

[u/LasagnaLizard0 → u/LycanWolfGamer]
