18 Things That Make Me Feel Uncomfortable

I'd say about 50 percent of my life is spent in uncomfortable situations.

18 Things That Make Me Feel Uncomfortable

1. Watching sex scenes with my parents in the room

It doesn’t matter that me and my two other siblings are all adults now, I still get squeamish whenever a sex scene comes on when my parents are in the room.

2. Forgetting someone's name (especially someone important).

3. Urinary Tract Infections

Need I say more?

4. Having to pee really badly during my bus ride commute, but not wanting to get up and use the bus bathroom

By the time I finally give in and decide to use the bus bathroom, we’ve usually made it to the destination.


5. Having a young, attractive male doctor, boss, professor or coach

And you realize the age gap is not that large at all ...

6. Watching Taylor Swift rap with Fetty Wap.

Just watch it for yourself.

7. Getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist

The dentist is trying to talk to me, and I clearly can’t talk back, and I really, really want to swallow, but I can’t.

8. Talking to someone when she has something in her teeth or on her face and not knowing if I should interrupt the conversation to tell her, or just ignore it.

I don’t even know what you just said because all I see is that piece of broccoli.

9. The weight lifting section of the gym

Because 1) I can only imagine what the die-hard weight lifters are thinking of my feeble attempts to lift 20 pounds. 2) Men who want to “teach you” how to lift properly.

10. Getting hit on by strangers, especially when they ask for my number, and I really don't want to give it.

11. When people use the word “gay” as a slang term as in “that’s so gay.”

It’s not only because I have family members and close friends who are gay that I take offense to this type of usage, but it’s also because most people in modern society know that this is no longer acceptable.

12. Cross-country races

Your legs kill, you feel like you’re going to throw up, and you can’t breathe.

13. Wearing high heel shoes

After a summer working in high-end retail, I’m pretty sure I’ve taken a few years off of my life simply by wearing heels every day.

14. Witnessing a public fight or argument, especially when it's a parent yelling at a young child.

15. Long car rides

My legs are cramping, I have to pee, and we've been stuck in traffic for the past three hours.

16. Being too cold

I'm one of those people that would rather be too hot than too cold.

17. Having my period.

18. Eating too much peanut butter.

I really feel uncomfortable when I eat too much of anything, but peanut butter is a food I find especially easy to overdose on. How am I down to half a jar after just one sitting?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
