“Being on my phone while waiting for something (especially as a means to avoid awkward eye contact). A good example is in a waiting room. Everyone else is on their phone — always. I will sit and stare at a wall or just look around. It may make me look weird, but it’s refreshing to feel less dependent.”

"I often sit on the train with my phone in my pocket with no AirPods, just staring out the window or into space. I firmly believe boredom is an enriching experience."

"I had a coworker who returned early from vacation because they kept texting her. I was like, 'Hope y'all know I wouldn't even be looking at your texts.'"

"I loooooove going to movies alone! No discussions about which movie to see, what time, where to sit, etc. I get to sit in a dark room and watch a movie, and still feel like I’m watching it with other people without having to directly interact with anyone."

"I love eating bean and cheese burritos for breakfast. Just a feel-good meal that keeps me satisfied most of the day."

"I heard a saying/joke a long time ago that stuck with me: Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive."

"I’ve been taking hours or overnight to respond to texts for a few months now, and it’s sadly very liberating. Sad because why the hell did I feel like I wasn’t allowed to before?"

"Same. I felt like my given first name was like an itchy, ill-fitting jumper I'd inherited; it never really felt like mine. I feel so much more myself with my chosen name."

"I'm a man in my 60s in the Southern US. I love leopard print coats (I have five!), suede coats with faux fur trim (Penny Lane-ish), sparkly unicorn shirts, fun, funky graphic T-shirts, Ralph Lauren snap button shirts, sparkly scarves, etc. Life is short — I'm going to wear whatever I want. IDGAF what anyone thinks about how I'm dressed."

"I've always said that if a boss wants their employees to go the extra mile, they'd better be paying for the gas mileage."

"As long as I’m keeping my side of the street clean, I don’t care what people think about me. It’s none of my business."
