Hey GAF,

Got a really bad flu and am in bed, bored as hell. Care to help pass the time with a little AskGAF?

Brain freezes is my answer. Never felt them. But I do get throat freezes where my throat and chest contract and get severely uncomfortable for about a minute when eating something cold too fast. My friends say I'm weird.

How about you? What do never experience that others do? Virgins, avoid the obvious. ;)

An enjoyment of being outdoors for the sake of being outdoors. Not walking, not being somewhere new, not seeing anything interesting. Just sitting out of doors.

Empathy (unless there's some true tragedy)
Allergies
Emotion (outside of joy/indifference)
Headaches/Migraines
Crying (I cried a lot in middle school according to my mom, which I remember, but I honestly can't remember crying since then and I'm 30 now. I guess I understand that people are different, but I really don't see the point in crying.)

Edit:

Also, sweating. I live in Miami, and people here complain so much about the heat/humidity and it really doesn't bother me. My mom and brother can step outside and be dripping sweat within 60 seconds. I can be outside for hours and don't break a sweat. As long as there's any semblance of a breeze, I'm in blissful perfect weather, while they claim they're literally melting.

Georgia heat, though? Unbearable.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower was the most depressing movie I ever saw. Going to parties, experimenting with drugs. Puppy love. All that jazz.

Movie is about a high school who is kinda bummed he's not the super popular kid but still is invited to all the parties and get-togethers.

I never had close to that level of social life in high school. Small city. Small school. Very rich but I was poor. I got pegged as the outsider in 1st grade and through high school my classmates excluded me. I'd come to school on Monday to hear everyone talk about the awesome party everybody went to on Friday that I had no idea about. Even kids I thought were my friends went and didn't tell me.

I used to blame myself until I went college. Had a great time and made lots of friends. Learned there was nothing wrong with me. My classmates from high school were just dick bags who didn't want to be seen socializing with the kid arbitrarily pegged as the "outsider".

My mind is never at rest. It's always racing, fixating on something, regardless of how small or mundane it is. It makes it impossible to be calm or live in the moment. My social life is also pretty dire because of it, but I'm lucky enough that I still have a girlfriend and am able to force myself through most social situations somewhat gracefully.

It really is the Caribbean sea breeze that makes all the difference in the world. Meanwhile I'm in Texas, where there is no wind and you're just smothered by humidity lol. Makes my ass wanna move to Miami.

That's exactly how I would describe how the heat in Georgia felt. Like being smothered lol. Or like the state is an oven and we're just sitting inside it with the oven door closed.

Now I'm afraid to go to Texas lol.

The need to be with someone all the time/to find a partner. I'm happy on my own, and the times I've been in a relationship I've been miserable.

Um,
the movie is about his PTSD from being sexually abused by his aunt when he was a kid.
