Is it just me who apologises for getting “too” excited about a topic?
I’m neurotypical, but I still love becoming completely absorbed in learning new things and sharing what I’ve discovered. Who gets to decide what is “too much”, anyway?

Is it just me, or do political signs in shared neighbourhood spaces feel divisive and ugly?
I politely asked in our online group whether we could keep them to people’s own gardens. A neighbour told me to take the post down so I wouldn’t offend the person who put them up.It felt like he was saying it was fine for me to be offended, but not fine for me to offend the person who offended me. Was I being unreasonable?

Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder “what now”?
I don't actually think "Is it just me" but more "What do others do in this similar situation …."I was a carer for my husband after he had 2 heart attacks and 2 strokes 7 years ago and sadly he passed away late 2024.I'm 70, retired, not in great health, but mobile, just slower lol.

Is it just me, or do other women face sexism and now ageism every day?
I’ve had a huge life: I’ve owned ten restaurants, worked as a literacy expert and professional actress and ballerina, and now edit and shape people’s books.I’m still active and have a lifetime of experience. Shouldn’t that count for something?

Is it just me who tries to plan fun activities with their husband, only to be shut down?

Is it just me who struggles when people who have been hurt begin attacking an entire group?
No matter who the author is, it still looks like discrimination to me, and it mirrors the same thinking used by the group that caused the harm.Words matter. How do we help people write about their experiences without turning their anger towards everyone?
-
Is it just me who constantly compares themselves to other people?
Why didn’t I do that? Why am I not as successful as someone else my age?
-
Is it just me who is so terrified of pregnancy and giving birth that I’ve talked myself into not wanting children?
Am I genuinely undecided, or am I overthinking it?
-
Is it just me who finds being a stepparent absolutely exhausting?
It feels like nothing is ever good enough. One mistake, one badly phrased sentence or simply saying no, and I’m the evil stepmonster again.I love my kiddo, but I don’t know whether I’m cut out for this. I also don’t want to leave my boyfriend of nearly eight years.

Is it just me or is everything becoming transactional these days.
Not just relations with random individuals but close relatives, friends and neighbors. If you don't provide any value then you are excluded immediately.plus the bias towards religion is at an all time high. Looks are everything these days. No matter how learned you are, even wearing a veil in an Islamic country has become a symbol of regression. If you open your hair and…
