The pigeon-toe one bothers me.

Ah, mine's not. I've worked retail so when the muscles in my leg start to hurt, I started to just rotate my feet either inward or outward slightly. Inward ended up being more comfortable overall and now my body just does it naturally.

I know a little girl who just has a tendency to rotate her foot 180 degrees and just stand like that. Her family has to remind her not to, so that she doesn't have lasting effects from it.

Pigeon toes are usually caused by skeletal deformities. It is a common deformity in Japan, is more common in children than adults and -as has been mentioned here- is often considered child like and cute.
Whether by affectation or because they are naturally turned inward most early loli pics were pigeon toed and so it became something that western lolis mimicked.

It's just from positioning in the womb. As the kid is aging they'll cross their legs while sitting a lot, but if they are constently corrected and required to sit right, the problem gets corrected. In Japan they just don't do much about this when the child is young so they grow up with in and the bones lost their chance to get corrected.

No, I don't like people who post copious amounts of pictures of themselves showing off whatever they have. It seems like they suffer a bit from peacock syndrome, whether they're guys posting their pecs or girls shoving their in between arm cleavage on camera.

To put everyone in as an 'lol misogynist' is missing the point of why people get annoyed at people posting revealing pics of themselves. Like, wow, cool, you have boobs/pecs/butt/assholes. I don't want five hundred shots on that on my feed.

How are you in an editing program and overlook your own measurement like that before you submit? Unlikely story.

Now she's saying she was bullied by fatty chans and that's why she's writing the secret after a bunch of people called her a bitch.
No, getting bullied does not justify bitchy behavior. It's not like this poster even specified that they were bullied or how they were bullied, it's just a secret that comes off as insecure and whiney, and I love how OP needs to create a backstory in the comments to justify it.

Thing is though a trigger doesn't make you uncomfortable. Too many people think it just makes you uncomfortable/slightly upset and that's total bullshit.

A 'trigger' is something that winds up pretty much devastating you. You cry uncontrollably, shake, and freak out to the point of looking like a crazy lady to anyone around you. It is completely uncontrollable

A trigger is something that takes you back to a horrifying, traumatic event (Be it getting raped, the death of a loved one, Something that impacted you in a BAD way). You react completely out of your own control and totally break down. not just feel a little uncomfortable.

I understand trigger warnings when used appropriately. Nowadays though they rarely are.
It's become little more than pretexts for people to throw a shitfit or turn all the attention to themselves.

A trigger warning is appropriate when a very sensitive subject which is also admittedly very traumatic to many is discussed 1) somewhere where it would not be normally expected or 2) in greater or more graphic detail than it would normally be expected. E.g. If I run a food blog and suddenly I want to make a post about rape, yeah, a trigger warning may be appropriate because people come to my blog to see pics of cakes and shit and do not expect to be faced with something like that and it's a courtesy to warn those who want to give it a miss and move on to something more lighthearted (which is what they came for in the first place). Or, if I run a blog where I discuss social issues, feminism etc, a blog post on rape wouldn't necessarily demand a trigger warning cause people know that they came to a blog that is not about fluffy bunnies and cat pics. But, if I wanted to include very graphic detail that my common sense tells me that may be disturbing for people who have had a similar experience, then I would put it under a cut and give a polite warning.

People expecting trigger warnings on the secrets or 4chan or reddit or something are just being ridiculous. The inclusion of a trigger warning is nothing more than a discretionary courtesy, why would anyone expect it in a wank forum or similar?

>> No.6584656

>>6584635
Sorry I wasn't very clear, I was referring to what anon (and the majority of tumblr) believe 'triggered' means aka feeling uncomfortable, disliking a situation, experiencing negative thoughts etc.

When I was hospitalised for my e.d I was in a psych unit and I've seen abuse victims be legitimately set off/triggered, when I see these teenagers moan about ~triggers~ it kind of pisses me off because it's two completely different things, like you said it's completely uncontrollable and can often be the slightest thing like the smell of a room or whatever. A lot of kids would complain about triggers in the unit to the extent it became a long running joke but they were mainly self harm related because people would claim to be triggered by all sorts of dumb illogical shit

You. I like you.

The word 'trigger' is being misused, that much is obvious. I have never personally experienced a traumatic event and therefore technically should not need 'trigger warnings' (and I don't, really) but I do appreciate when someone says "okay guys, this post is going to contain some shit that may make you extremely angry or uncomfortable for a few hours so if you're not in the mood for that, don't click this link".
It would be nice if people stopped misusing the word 'trigger' but that doesn't mean that we should run around springing rape posts on people in knitting communities without warning. 4chan, though? Yeah. Not going to happen.

>> No.6584890

The problem I have with trigger warnings is their name. Why not just keep calling them warnings like we've been doing for the past freaking ever?

Then we wouldn't need to have this fucking debate all the time and people would continue to be warned for content that might be disturbing to them without it seeming like everyone's going out of their way to help accommodate the incredibly small percentage of the population genuinely suffering from PTSD.

Exactly. I was born with this birth defect, to a more extreme extent. My knees were twisted almost completely backwards. I had to have surgery on them, as well as my hips, and all of my baby pictures have casts from my midsection on down. Now, I stand pigeon tied and have trouble balancing/walking, but I look fairly normal. It ain't cute, not one bit. When I see other girls standing pigeon toed, I normally assume that they've had similar birth defects. If not, they're compromising their balance and being pretty silly.

A+. I have a pretty debilitating phobia (like a legitimate phobia, not like being scared of spiders or some shit) that when triggered can cause panic attacks, hyperventilation, uncontrollable crying, fainting, etc. However, it is of something moderately common. Sometimes I wish that people were more considerate about it, and very occasionally I wish warnings for it were more common. However, I'd rather the world (and the internet!) didn't rearrange itself to fit something so obscure. Trigger warnings, legitimate trigger warnings, are all well and good, but people warning about fucking everything and equating being triggered to being uncomfortable sucks ass.

That said, I also have an ED and don't know what to call it when I see or read something that really makes it rough and puts me in a bad place. The wrong image at the wrong time can cause me not to eat for days; I sort of would equate that with being "triggered" but wish another term for something like that could be adopted.

I feel your pain, as I have a phobia like this too. It's really hard to convey to people how it makes me feel, because they think it's just like...spiders (which I'm also afraid of, but I can smash them just fine and seeing one won't ruin my day). Even my parents think I'm overreacting because it's something that's not a big deal to other people. You really can't understand what it's like unless you've experienced it.
But yeah, I don't expect the world to revolve around me either. I just have to be cautious and try to cope with it the best I can. Everything is on the internet, so that's the chance I take when I go online.

Say that again when you spend two days locked in the bathroom with no food, waiting for your parents to come home because there is a huge fucking spider in your bedroom and you panicked so bad you couldn't even get your phone to get help and you're hyperventilating and your heart is beating so fast all the time and you're so scared you can't even scream for the fucking neighbors, asshole.

Panic disorder, paired with PTSD. Someone coughing loudly or looking at me funny causes me to curl up in a corner screaming. I've been in and out of the mental hospital for it since I was 8.

Enabling yes, triggering no. Triggers only apply to images or content that cause the person to experience psychosomatic reactions, usually beyond their control, due to trauma, basically something the can't control. For instance seeing a car crash making you break down and cry and start hyperventilating. That's triggering, where as someone being bothered someone mentioning ham because they're vegetarian, no, that's not triggering. But enabling is like talking about cake or going to a sweets shop with someone while they're on a diet or bringing an alcoholic to a bar, it's not triggering any unconscious reaction.

I envy your phobias, if a little odd they're still at least understandable. I have a phobia of cotton wool, I have never once been met with sympathy for it, nor understanding. You wouldn't think it was an issue, being that it's generally avoidable, but I can't go to the dentist because of it.

Just to keep the conversation going I guess, I found out kind of recently that I can't do haunted houses anymore. Its odd, because they never bothered me before, but I guess my limit is Dark Harbor.

Can I ask a question?
How do you tell the difference between just fear and a phobia?
Whenever I spot a wasp/bee near me (or even just hear buzzing), if it's fairly far off I kind of get goosebumps and start freaking out and my eyes start to water and my breathing quickens. If it comes anywhere near me, no matter how hard I try, I can't stop myself from bursting into tears, and I'll find it really hard to breathe properly and I'll just become a total mess and then once it's gone away I'll calm down eventually and then I'll be paranoid for the next few hours.

You are wrong. The majority of celiacs patients are overweight or obese. It was a previous misconception of doctors that the malnutrition would cause weight-loss, so they wouldn't even bother testing you if you were fat.

And your cynical suggestion is actually correct: It's likely that the malabsorption only effects certain nutrients (say, iron) and not others (say, lipids) so when you feel like shit you make up for it by needing to eat more. Additionally, feeling like shit all teh time might cause an individual to be unable to exercise.

(Personal: Before I was diagnosed I was dizzy and anemic all the time. After going gluten free I lost 20 pounds and the anemia went away.)

>> No.6586805

Sort of this.

If she's eating gluten then the villi in her intestines (what absorbs nutrients) will be gone causing her to eat more. But if she's gluten-free then they should be fine... She's probably having too many carbs still, like packing her face with GF muffins and pasta. Gluten-free isn't really a weight loss diet, she should be cutting the carbs and eating meat and veg if she wants to do that.

This also. You only really lose weight when GF if you remove all the junk carbs and replace them with vegetables...which, of course, is the only way you lose weight.

Person you were responding to here. In my post I clearly separated "phobia of" and "scared of." In that context, you have a PHOBIA OF spiders, as opposed to simply being "scared of" them. I suppose I failed at this, apparently (honestly reading back I don't feel like I was clear about that). I'm not trying to discount anyone's PHOBIA OF anything, but it seems when the layman hears "phobia," they just think "fear" or "aversion to." So I tried to pick the best example to illustrate my point because "arachnophobia" is a common word that is most often misused and illustrates people's faulty concept of phobias.

I know what you mean. Hell, I feel kind of bad when I'm at restaurants and tell the waiter I'm "allergic" to dairy and gluten. I'm not actually allergic, just intolerant, but it takes too long to explain "Although I won't go into anaphylactic shock, I will spend the next several days in terrible pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis pain flares."
