What would a complete opposite of yourself be like? 😇

Haughty, someone who likes to show off, extroverted, open to change, always responsible, doesn’t have social anxiety, loves road trips, has been academically successful for the most part, loves playing instruments, doesn’t like swimming or volleyball, and manages their time wisely.

A man is not a monster because he kills. A man is a monster because he kills without reason.

Alright, you need to stop thinking so deep. Just numb your mind and thoughts, and go with the flow like a dead fish. People think that's bad but really there's no point in swimming against the flow, as it'll tire you out physically and emotionally.

Tea, are you aware of research which showed that participants who frequently played racquet sports (namely tennis, badminton, and pickleball) had greater life expectancies than those who took part in other activities like running, cycling, and swimming?

Ah ha!! I absolutely KNEW there was a reason that I’d gone off of running 😂 I didn’t know that they’d done research into life expectancies! Could you send me the link?
I took part in some research that the British Heart Foundation years ago, but that was to do with cardiovascular health. And I also never heard what happened, so that was largely irrelevant 😂

......I pretty much swam myself home that day. As i continued down the road, the water kept getting deeper. People of all ages were swimming in the chowk too, pointing, laughing, cat calling and much more. It was a devastatingly embarrassing experience but still not the worst.

And how often do you follow the rules? You know damn well that a lot of people don’t, right?

I’ve broken the rules when I was younger such as the time I went swimming and it started raining. I was told to get out of the pool by the lifeguard but I didn’t listen and he got mad at me. I try to follow the rules as much as I can these days.

How does rain affect you?

Yesterday, I sat outside with a friend to have a snack, it was drizzling, and we had just got done with swimming. We were exhausted, barely able to talk, but we felt so peaceful and alive because of the rain.
The rain heightens the effect of emotions within me, I reach peace with my surroundings and existence, and it makes me want to rest.

Is there an animal at the zoo that you are excited to see? Is there an animal that you have never seen but would love to see? 🦧🐼🦩

What type of student were you/are you at your school/university? (Studius, backbencher, average, naughty etc) 🎒

ManWithout1plan’s Profile PhotoManWithout1Plan
I was a pretty average student in school! Excelled in languages, History etc., not so much in maths and physics. I was never a lonely kid but I sometimes could be a little eccentric which lead to me being bullied quite a bit in my younger years. I was into Dinosaurs much later in life than most other kids, sometimes didn't think before I spoke and sometimes what I did say was completely misunderstood. I often stood out quite a bit since I grew very quickly when I was younger, making me often a head taller than the rest.
While many of my peers were out by the lakes drinking and partying, I spent my evenings by the pool training for competitions. At my peak I went and trained around 10 times a week. During P.E class when we went swimming, the teacher made me coach and had me teach the others on how to swim freestyle and backstroke 🏊

Tell me something you love. May it be something you love to do... or a hobby.. a person.. thing. Something you love.

Ice_Frozen_Vocals’s Profile PhotoŞωεεT† ɮȩ̷̠̝͙̎̑̆ℓℓล ♡♪
I like being able to express myself without being in the spotlight and while being creative as well which is probably why I loved creative writing and ceramics back when I was in high school. I also love swimming and volleyball even tho I’ve never been a part of the swimming or volleyball team at the school I went to. I try not to get too attached to or love someone because you never know when your connection with them could come to an end and I don’t want to feel devastated when that day comes. I don’t spent much time in the kitchen or cook in general but when I’m craving certain foods/desserts, I make them and love being able to prove to myself that I can bake when I want to.

If you had to choose, would you rather fly around on the back of a giant bug or be miniaturized and trapped in a bottle on the waves of the ocean?

tristanandiseult3’s Profile PhotoΣΩ
I think I'd choose to ride on the back of a giant bug! At least I could get places quick that way, especially if it could fly! Preferably it would be a bug that didn't look too threatening either, like a bumblebee! 🐝
I see mostly downsides to being trapped in a bottle, I'd presumably have a limited supply of food and water and a bottle isn't invulnerable. It wouldn't take much for it to either crack and fill up with water or get destroyed completely, making me easy food for whatever's swimming nearby 😨 Also, the smallest of waves would feel much bigger and more intense at my size, not making for the most pleasant trip 🤢

AppetizingAsh333’s Profile Photo♥future ∞ Mrs. Thick'ems♪™
With these questions, it should be easy to come up with answers but I’m really struggling for some reason. I guess it would be the internet unless I were to be in an environment where I’m always busy and don’t feel the need to be online every so often. I remember going on a vacation and the place that I went to had no wifi and my service wasn’t working either. I’d spend the whole day either swimming in the ocean or the pool. I’d also play volleyball when I wasn’t swimming. It was nice 😁

If you could have half of your body replaced with robot parts, which half would you pick? Why? (Could be upper, lower, front half, back half, left/right half only, etc) 🤖🦾🦿

anonamouse89887’s Profile Photoanonamouse
Ideally, I wouldn't choose to have half of my body replaced until much later in life! But when that time would come I would choose my lower half, in order to retain the mobility and freedom that I previously had! I've seen firsthand through my work in elderly care how limiting it is to not be able to move around at your own terms! And with robot legs, I definitely could! Of course they'd be constructed out of a material that wouldn't rust so I could still go swimming and diving! Also, prothetic legs can even now be made to look very convincing to the real thing 🦿

What’s your favorite part about summer?

Itslaurencim’s Profile Photo♕ ʆɑuʀɛɳ
I hate literally everything about Summer.
The days are longer, and I prefer the darkness of night.
The heat is oppressive & unbearable.
The grass & weeds grow twice as fast and have to be cut, which is my responsibility.
I don't have a pool, or know anyone with a pool, so I can't go swimming, which was the only thing I ever liked about Summer.

What’s a moment that you can remember where it felt like a weight had been lifted off your shoulders?

J_A1996’s Profile PhotoJ
I avoided swimming in PE back when I was in high school because I was insecure about the way I’d look in front of my classmates by not wearing a regular swim suit and instead wearing athletic clothes to the pool. Unlike my previous gym teacher, the new one didn’t let me get away with not swimming and when I offered to walk upstairs instead, she said that wasn’t an option and that I’d get a bad grade for not participating in swimming. I ended up preparing myself to swim and when I offered to make up for the days I didn’t swim with my classmates and she said that that’s fine. The day came and anxiety held me back so I chickened out and ended up not swimming, instead choosing to stay in the school’s office and talking to a worker there. The female office worker reassured me that I’ll be fine when I told her how nervous I was to come face to face with my gym teacher due to not showing up to make up for my lost swimming sessions. The next time I had gym, I had to face my gym teacher and surprisingly, she wasn’t mad at me at all or at least she didn’t look mad or disappointed. I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders and attempted to roller skate that day because we moved onto roller skating. I got away with not swimming and passed the class since it was just swimming that I couldn’t get myself to do even tho I somewhat knew how to swim.

What emotions do you feel when you look at your favourite artwork? Which artwork has deeply resonated with you?

nousernameavailable31645’s Profile Photo♠phlegmatic♣
I feel optimistic, happy, and proud when I look at all the artworks I’ve made so far. The cloth that I painted with water colors in high school that had a background representing the ocean and the fishes swimming in the ocean resonated with me the most as a pisces and because I love swimming too.

What’s the last thing that genuinely shocked you? 😱

anonamouse89887’s Profile Photoanonamouse
Our living room being flooded, a couple of weeks ago. A pipe in our bathroom sprung a leak sometime in the early hours of the morning. Fortunately I was still up, and I heard the sound of water running so I went to investigate, thinking maybe our cat had accidentally turned a tap on or had knocked his water bowl over...
I was not expecting to walk downstairs to discover that I now had a swimming pool in my living room. 👁️👄👁️
Thankfully because we caught it pretty early and dealt with it right away, there wasn't any serious damage. The pipe had to be replaced, as did some wallpaper that got soaked. But things could've easily been much worse!

If you had to be an animal, which one would you be and why?

bellmona212’s Profile PhotoMona Bell
I, always have loved dolphins besides doggos and cattos. Plus they are such intelligent and playful creatures, and they get to spend their days swimming in the ocean and exploring all sorts of fascinating environments and there is something so graceful and beautiful about the way they move through the water - it is like watching a dance. ✨️🌊 🐬.

What’s your idea of a “perfect” night out during the summer? ☀️🍉🏖️🏕️

Gathering together with my friends at the park earlier in the day then going to a frozen yogurt shop or late night swimming. I’ve only ever went swimming late at night while I was on a vacation in Florida with my family but it would be amazing to have access to a pool with no one there except for my friends and I. Since I don’t have friends that I see regularly anymore, I’d also be very happy and content if I could go to the movie theaters then get boba tea later.

What do you enjoy doing

sagetoriola58’s Profile Photosagetoriola58
There isn’t much that I actually enjoy doing and it might be because I’m depressed and have been this way for quite some time. I like taking walks in nature, listening to music, watching horror/thriller movies, reading romance books when my attention span isn’t that bad, communicating with my friends, and playing volleyball or swimming. What do you enjoy doing?

Describe what it felt like the last time you had an adrenaline rush.

zaidwali915’s Profile PhotoZaid Wali
God, I swam for hours and hours, yelled at the top of my lungs. Jumped in and out of the swimming pool, laid under the sun, then climbed these huge marble slides and always almost fell and broke my nose. It was the best field trip ever.
I couldn't sit still, I was in this frenzy mode. I hadn't slept a wink, my eyes were constantly tearing up but it was easy to ignore them while I was in the pool. My friends had to pick me up to get me out of the water.
I collapsed the second I got home and was tired for two entire days.

What sport did you play growing up?

alishapawar5’s Profile PhotoAlisha
When I was younger I was into freediving and bowling! But the main sport that took up most of my childhood was competitive swimming! What I was best at was long distance swimming, I swam 1500 m freestyle in around 18 minutes at my peak! That was the event I qualified to championsips in. I still swim with a student swim club and by myself. But even now, I'm not the most explosive person in the water 🏊

What was the last thing you revisited which you hadn't done / experienced in a while? ⏪

TobbeAsks’s Profile PhotoTobbe
... Does rejoining AskFm after a year's absence count? 🤣
Aside from that, though, I recently got back in touch with an old friend and we've talked about going swimming together a couple times a week. I've not been swimming properly since I was a teen, and I'm looking forward to getting back into it!
My friend is an ex-surfer too, and a qualified swim teacher, so she'll encourage me to put my all into it! She's already said, she's not gonna go easy on me... 😅

Apeshitz’s Profile PhotoApeshitz
You're right, I accidentally misplaced him in the wrong pocket.
We both got very confused, and he got so stressed that he passed out. I mean, I don't know if he did, but I left him sitting at the train station to nowhere.
Donkey... his donkey is swimming in the aquarium.
The belts, I don't know, I didn't notice, but they must have been in the same team 🤯

What is the best memory you have of a vacation trip? What made it special?

tristanandiseult3’s Profile PhotoΣΩ
When I went to Turkey last summer. What made it special was that I didn’t go to Turkey in 8 years and really missed being able to travel there and seeing all the people I haven’t seen in such a long time. I went to a vacation place in Turkey where I didn’t have any access to service or wifi so I ended up spending the week either making use of the ocean or swimming in the indoor pool instead (but the pool wasn’t free like the ocean). It was nice for a change and it was a big change for me because I’m almost always on my phone and barely stay physically active in the US. I went without my family members to visit my grandparents so I didn’t have to worry about what the rest of my family wanted to do or disagreements on where to go next. I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with everyone that my grandma knew of since it was a month long trip but, I’d do it all over again this summer if it were up to me.

And in the morning morning
Over ancient spires
The Cambridge mists were rising
Over our secret desires

you know you're depressed when you wake up and wonder why did you even wake up for... and you go back to sleep for another few hours because you don't want to be awake.

No, I am simply extremely exhausted, to the extent that I need to catch up on missed hours of rest. I don't wonder why I woke up it's usually because I have to go pee or go do something important like work if it's not my day off.
Reducing depression often involves a combination of lifestyle changes, professional support, and self-care strategies. Here are some approaches that can help:
Regular Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, yoga, or swimming, can help improve mood, reduce symptoms of depression, and increase energy levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.
Healthy Lifestyle: Adopting a healthy lifestyle can have a positive impact on mood and overall well-being. This includes eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, getting an adequate amount of sleep each night, and avoiding excessive alcohol and drug use.
Social Support: Maintaining strong social connections and seeking support from friends, family members, or support groups can provide emotional support, reduce feelings of isolation, and improve coping skills.
Stress Management: Learning and practicing stress management techniques, such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, or progressive muscle relaxation.

It feels better than winter but I prefer summer over any other season because I get a break from school work and enjoy swimming outdoors. It doesn’t feel like spring as much as it feels like fall where I live and it doesn’t really make me feel any kind of way except happy to get these classes over with.
