    When I was 8 my mother brought me and my siblings to her boyfriend’s on Christmas Eve and they went out for drinks and left us with a 13 year old baby sitter. They dropped us in the driveway without bothering to let us in and his house was locked. It was snowing and we were scared. They didn’t come back until after midnight. She was drunk and blamed him and piled us into the car and took off and crashed into a snowbank. I had to go up to a stranger’s house early on Christmas morning and wake them up for help, which is probably why I am so awkward in social situations now.

    A fun thing is that I don’t even have a uterus anymore but since I kept my ovaries, I still know when my period would’ve been because I still get emotional and hungry about it. Stupid body.

      I think they’re implying that legitimate things are immediate, sad, and personal. But I think all of these options are legitimate reasons to cry.

      What’s an illegitimate reason? To manipulate someone

    Do people really go crazy when they are hungry? I keep seeing it and I assume it’s some exageration or meme.

      Rule of HALT - never argue / discuss when you are hungry, angry, lonely or tired. All of these feelings make people unreasonable and they lash out.

      I worked in the food service industry for 5 years, yes they absolutely do.

      We had to call the police on people multiple times in those years for things as simple as “1 too many pickles on burger” because the dude got 4 pickles when he asked for 3.

      Every single day, multiple times a day, people came in and lost their shit because they were hungry.
