I’ve been wondering how common it is for people to wear fragrance as part of their everyday routine. Do you put on a fragrance every morning regardless of whether you’re going to work, going out, or just staying home by yourself? Or do you mainly save your fragrances for special occasions and when you’re around other people?

I’m also curious if wearing fragrance every day has become more of a habit or part of your personal routine for you.

Hey everyone!
I’m planning to watch Avengers: Doomsday and want to make sure I understand all the important characters, storylines, and multiverse stuff going into it.

I don’t want to watch literally everything Marvel has ever made, though 😅. I’m looking for a manageable list of the most important movies and Disney+ shows I should watch beforehand.

Ideally, could someone give me:

Must-watch movies/shows

Recommended but optional ones

Anything from the X-Men/Fox movies that I should see

Anything I can safely skip

The best watching order, if it matters

I’d really appreciate a spoiler-free answer if possible. I mainly want to understand the story and characters and get the most out of Doomsday without spending 100+ hours catching up.

I’ve watched plenty of regular-season NFL, but I’ve never really gotten into preseason.

For those who watch it: is it actually worth sitting down and watching the games, or is it better to just follow the highlights/news?

I know starters often don’t play much, so I’m wondering what people actually watch for — rookies, QB battles, players fighting for roster spots, new schemes, etc.

Also, are there certain preseason games/weeks that are more worth watching than others?

Would love to hear what longtime NFL fans think.

Like, not the obvious stuff everyone tells you about. I mean the random, embarrassing, slightly concerning things where you’re just sitting there thinking…

“Wait… is this normal??” 😂

Sweating way more than before, suddenly smelling different, hair doing absolutely whatever it wants, bladder problems, hemorrhoids, weird skin changes, random aches, or just your body deciding it has a completely new set of rules.

What was yours?

Because I feel like there’s a whole secret list of postpartum body changes that nobody talks about until you experience them yourself. 😭

I’ve been thinking a lot about how grief changes your relationship with intimacy.

It’s not just about sex. Sometimes I miss being held. Falling asleep next to someone. The little touches, the feeling of being wanted, having someone close enough that you don’t have to explain yourself.

And then there’s the guilt that can come with realizing you still have those needs after losing your spouse.

I’m curious how others here have dealt with that part of widowhood. Did wanting affection or intimacy make you feel guilty? Did it get easier with time?

Not looking for anything graphic or disrespectful — just hoping to hear from people who understand this strange part of grieving.

I’m curious about something that feels a little awkward to ask in real life. Did becoming a mom change your interest in sex, what you enjoy, how often you want it, or how comfortable you feel talking about it with your partner?

I’m not looking for graphic details — just honest experiences. I feel like people talk a lot about the exhaustion and lack of time after having kids, but not as much about how your relationship with sex itself can change.

Did things eventually settle into a new normal for you, or is it still something you’re figuring out?

No judgment either way. ❤️

I’ll go first: somehow everyone is expected to know how often you’re supposed to clean things like the oven, washing machine, or mattress.

I’m just out here hoping nobody asks me. 😂

What’s yours?

I’m 18, and use a wheelchair. I was raised by my mother after she became a widow.

When I was younger, I just saw her as my mom. She took care of me, supported me, and was always there when I needed her. I never really thought about what she was going through herself.

Now that I’m older, I think about it a lot.

She lost her husband, had to raise me alone, and had a child with a disability who sometimes needed extra care and support. I sometimes wonder how many times she was exhausted, scared, or hurting but kept going because she had to.

It makes me emotional realizing how much she sacrificed and how much I probably took for granted as a child.

I love my mom deeply, and I just hope she knows that I see her sacrifices now.

Has anyone else reached adulthood and suddenly realized how much their parent went through for them? I’d really love to hear your experiences.

Hi everyone. I am a male and I have spina bifida and am paralyzed below the knees, and I don’t have bowel movements on my own. I’m trying to figure out how to manage my constipation independently.

I’ve been considering using a Fleet enema, but I’m not sure how to administer one safely by myself given my mobility limitations. I’m particularly wondering about positioning, how to insert the applicator safely, and how to handle the process when I’m alone.

For anyone with paralysis, spina bifida, or similar bowel-management issues who has experience with enemas:

How do you safely administer an enema by yourself?

What position or setup works best?

Are there adaptive techniques or equipment that make it easier?

Are there things I should not do because of my reduced sensation/mobility?

Is a Fleet enema appropriate for regular bowel management, or are there better options?

I’m looking for practical experiences and advice from people who have dealt with something similar. I’ll also check with my doctor/healthcare team before trying anything unsafe.

Thanks in advance.

Would you go with Khamrah Qahwa or Liquid Brun?

The person likes warm, sweet, cozy scents, but I want something that’s versatile and likely to impress. If you’ve smelled both, which would you choose as a gift and why? Appreciate any opinions! 🙌

Hi, has anyone experienced this?

Whenever I’m in crowds or somewhere new, within 10–20 minutes I get tingling/stiff hands, excessive clear saliva (I feel I have to spit), a mucus/lump-in-throat sensation that makes me feel like I’ll gag or vomit, and sometimes stomach tightening/cramping. It usually settles after 10–20 minutes, especially after I spit out the saliva.

It’s gotten to the point where I focus on not throwing up instead of enjoying myself, and I sometimes avoid going places because of it.

My psychiatrist prescribed alprazolam (I only take half a tablet when needed), and it helps, but I don’t want to rely on benzodiazepines long-term.

Has anyone had anxiety like this? Did CBT/exposure therapy or a long-term medication help? Do these symptoms sound more like panic attacks, social anxiety, or something else?

I know Reddit isn’t medical advice—I’ll keep working with my psychiatrist. I’d just really like to hear from anyone who’s been through something similar.

Hi everyone,
I’m posting because this has been affecting my life for a while now, and I’m hoping someone here has experienced something similar.

Whenever I’m around a lot of people or go somewhere new (especially crowded places), I start getting a bunch of physical symptoms within the first 10–20 minutes after I arrive.

The main things I notice are:

My hands start tingling and sometimes become stiff.

I suddenly get a lot of saliva in my mouth, and it feels like I have to spit it out before the feeling goes away.

It also feels like mucus is stuck in my throat, which makes me feel like I’m going to vomit.

When it gets really bad, my stomach feels like it’s tightening or cramping inside.

The strange part is that this usually settles down after the first 10–20 minutes, especially if I can get the saliva out of my mouth. The saliva is clear, if that matters.

Because of these symptoms, I end up focusing on whether I’m going to gag or throw up instead of enjoying whatever I’m there to do. It’s ruining moments that I actually want to enjoy, and sometimes I avoid going places because I’m worried it’ll happen again.

I saw a psychiatrist about it, and they prescribed alprazolam to take only when needed. I usually take half a tablet, and it definitely helps. However, I’ve read that it can be habit-forming and that withdrawal can be difficult, so I try not to rely on it unless I really have to.

Has anyone here experienced anxiety that feels like this? Especially the excess saliva, throat sensation, nausea, tingling hands, or stomach tightening?
If so:

What ended up helping you?

Did therapy (like CBT or exposure therapy) make a difference?

Were there any medications that worked well long-term without relying on benzodiazepines?

Do these symptoms sound like panic attacks, social anxiety, or something else?

I know Reddit isn’t a substitute for medical advice, and I’ll continue working with my psychiatrist. I’m just looking to hear from people who’ve gone through something similar because it’s becoming really frustrating and it’s stopping me from enjoying parts of my life.

Thanks for reading

Hey everyone,

Who are the best underrated FPL YouTubers that deserve more recognition and subscribers?

Looking for creators who are consistent, put out quality content every week, and aren’t the obvious big names.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for the best website to watch Brazilian football matches for free, especially Série A, Série B, Copa do Brasil, and state championships.

I’m mainly looking for something that’s reliable with decent video quality. What do you recommend?
Thanks!

Widowhood changes so many parts of life, but one thing I rarely see discussed is sexuality.

For widows who have had sex again after losing their spouse: what was that journey like?

Did you miss physical affection before you missed sex? Did you feel nervous or guilty the first time? Did you discover new things about yourself? Did intimacy become more important, less important, or just different?

I’d love to hear honest experiences — the emotional side, the awkward side, and the parts people don’t usually say out loud.

I’m looking to start following Brazilian football seriously, but I don’t want to just pick the biggest or most successful club.

I’d love to hear your recommendations.

A bit about what I’m looking for:

Passionate fanbase and an incredible atmosphere.

Strong club identity and history.

A team that plays attractive football (or at least tries to).

A club that has realistic ambitions but isn’t just expected to win everything every season.

I’d rather avoid choosing a team solely because they’re the most popular.

I’m also curious about:
Biggest rivalries.

What the club’s supporters are known for.

What makes the club unique.

Any reasons a neutral should (or shouldn’t) choose them.

For context, I’m not Brazilian, so I’m coming into this with an open mind.
