Obviously depends on the person, but I would love that question. Straight to the point, trying to understand where I’m at. I can and will appreciate that.

Maybe that’s the neurospicy part of me. I can absolutely see why someone wouldn’t like that.

Exactly: I’m more than happy to either give you emotional support or brainstorm a solution.
Just tell me which one, because the two things don’t overlap at all.

TBF giving appliances an angry slap is often both an emotional and technical solution.

Percussive maintenance is a legitimate form of therapy.

Yeah same. It is weird because I’m never quite sure what mode my wife is in. And she never knows what mode I’m in.

Usually I’m the one in feelings mode because I usually solve the problem myself so if the problem is still there I tried and failed and am now emotional.

I will have to try this.

Yea this is good partner behavior as I’ve been taught. Jumping straight to problem solving can be dismissive. It’s talking past where your partner is at rather than meeting them where they are

Actually thinking about this for a second I’m an idiot. What’s the solution stage for “my burrito exploded?” Pick it up ho?

Might need to figure out how to remove a stain, what to eat instead, etc.

I can’t imagine how it must be to tiptoe conversations as if you were walking around eggshells just to avoid the other party to feel bad about any imaginary perceived slight

Having worked in tech support, I can say that listening skills are crucial. Sure, being tech savvy is important too, but first you need to listen and maybe even calm the other person down a bit before you can start working on the actual problem. I wonder if medical doctors are like that as well…

Semi sentient sits inside a shawarma, rolled as we speak

Is he made of shawarma?

Or is shawarma made of Semi sentient?

He feels ennui, for he does not know

I am bad with feelings in a medical way so when someone comes to me to complain I always try finding a solution.

This video ruined my day and will probably upset me every time I remember it for the rest of my life.

I hope you’re happy.

Truly, I hope you have a nice day, sharing is caring.

Community Rules

  1. Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.

  2. Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals’ politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.

  3. No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those “NSFW” for young or sensitive users.

  4. No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.

  5. No personal info or private communication Please do not post personal info, yours or others. All names should be blocked out, except public figures. Also, private communication & private posts are private; please don’t post them here.

  6. Post must link to image directly. Please link to images directly. This makes browsing easier for those using RES or through a mobile device

  7. Low Effort Meme Please do not submit low effort memes or mention upvotes in your post.

This includes “Let’s get this to the front page!” type posts, “You have been visited by”, “people who sort by new”, “stop scrolling”, Low effort memes include: Skyrim “Wholesome 100”, “You’re Breathtaking”, Thanos “That does put a smile on my face”, [happiness noises], Fallout [Everybody liked that], and “Because that’s what heroes do”. This isn’t an exhaustive list, but I think you get the idea!

  1. No reposts Avoid posting memes that have already been posted to this sub. Fresh content is vital. We may allow a repost at our discretion, if it has not already been a frontpage post, and if it has been over 6 months since it was last posted here. Do not spam or post more than 3 memes in a 24 hour period.

  2. Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. “Does this fit here?” helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.
