Wellness Wednesday for October 2, 2024

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

The toilet stall is the last place where I will care about sensory manners. It's the designated place for pissing and shitting, why would I try to hide the fact that I'm doing exactly that in there? If anything, it's the people that are shooting up in there that should be trying to sound like they are taking a dump. So yes, if I feel the need to grunt or groan when suffering from a stool irregularity in a bathroom I will do exactly that.

Fuck people that don't wipe the seat/sink or use the brush, though.

I think there's a misunderstanding. I'm not worried about manners or complaining. This isn't a judgement thing, it was a curiosity. I'm expressing casual surprise that from the sound of it people regularly make loud vocalizations while crapping, because it sounds like a lot of 'straining', which I don't understand.

I think you just have enviable stool quality. People that are constipated have to strain harder.
