    when I lived in germany, my local was co-owned by a russian and a man from Belfast. The russian was suave and friendly and probably why the place was dotted with russian prostitutes most afternoons. We only ever saw the other guy if there was an Ireland soccer match on, when he would pop out to grimly mock my (southern) Irish mate.

    When I did a trip away with Habitat for Humanity, we worked with a team from Nothern Ireland. One of their leaders was my age, with the most beautiful Belfast accent. Whenever we were passing bricks or pans of cement, I really had to concentrate on what I was doing because his voice distracted me so much.

    I've kind of very suddenly lost interest in that guy, and I'm not really sure why. But he keeps sending me comments and stuff on facebook and it's irritating me.

    Woops guess I'm kind of a horrible person.

    Where I work, we get yearly Fraud training, and for a few years, before they switched the training to online, we had a woman from the Fraud dept, who had a wonderful Irish accent, come to give our department the training in a big meeting. Its the only time we've ever had those meetings where I was enthralled by what the speaker was saying. Well, maybe just by the way she was saying it. I don't really much of what she was saying, but I enjoyed every minute of listening to her.

    There's no law that says we have to reciprocate attention, and if you don't like the guy, you don't like the guy

    I think it's partly that going home for New years and seeing all my old friends has made me feel quite homesick. So now I'm just so not interested in anyone to do with Bristol. I miss my friends.

    Smof, that is okay.

    I've been there, suddenly losing interest. In my situation I was never 100% into the guy to start with, but because of his persistence I sort of went along with going out with him, and then unsurprisingly I lost interest because there wasn't enough to start with on my side in the beginning.

    So you're not horrible, you're just human.

    You're kidding? Is this not widely known in Ireland? that most of the world sees you as keeping a panty-dropper in your voicebox?

    Been in the Philippines a week now, been missing my girlfriend like crazy. We talk on Facebook messenger all the time, but the 16 hour time difference is killer. Having fun with family, but every time I see or do something cool, my first thought is "man, she'd love this". Cant wait to see her again in a week! Aaaaand I'm done being sappy and somewhat mopey

    This is funny for me when I know who you are talking about. My brain does this every time:

    "Aww."
    "Wait, I know her!"
    "Awwwwwww"

    There are a lot of Americans that enjoy even other American accents if it is from a very different region from their own. My mother spent a lot of her childhood living between the Washington DC area and Texas because her step-father was in the military.

    When she lived in Texas all the boys loved her Yankee accent.
    When she was in DC all the boys loved her southern drawl.

    She admits that as soon as she realized this she exaggerated both whenever speaking to a particularly cute boy.

    It's totally okay to have lost interest, but as someone who has been on the opposite side of that scenario the kindest thing to do would be to tell him that you aren't interested.

    It was like 6 years ago and I only kept texting her for a month, but the realization that 'no, she isn't always busy, she just has no interest in you but won't actually say it and you've probably been annoying her for a long time' is something that is still a little embarassing for me to remember.

    Anxiety has been promptly replaced by rage. Why do customer service providers have to be so blindingly stupid at times?

    I am more prone to giving them the benefit of the doubt, you know, since I've worked in customer service for basically 15 years.

    I am 100% certain that the only reason @Hullis hasn't said anything is because he didn't want you to know the power you could have over him if you learned to use your powers accent for evil.

    Hey REG don't sweat it

    Weird brain shit happens in the dark places of the night, especially when there's nobody else obvious to talk to

    I try really hard to play If That Happens, Then What when my thoughts go bad/weird/angry/painful places
    1. THING OCCURS, ANXIETY/ANGER ENSUES
    2. If That Happens, Then What?
    3. Thing occurs, maybe slightly less anxiety/anger ensues
    4. If That Happens, Then What?
    5. Repeat as necessary

    Sometimes it takes me a looooooong fucking time to get to the end of the thought train, but once I'm there and look back at initial step #1 it's usually "well shit, that's not that big of a deal"

    I know this was from a page ago, but I do the same thing. I do it with shit like, "What if my life suddenly became an action movie and I was attacked by ninjas?" or, "What if that oncoming vehicle sudden swerves directly at me?"

    I think about that last one with every vehicle I see when driving now and it's made doing so very stressful. White-knuckle grip all the time for me now.

    I'm not sure. When I get cross my accent gets really strong. He once followed me around Wall-mart imitating my accent and doing some version of "soft day, thank god" and "top o the mornin to ya" until I started swearing at him completely unintelligibly, at which point he just dissolved into a puddle of self-satisfaction and giggles. He uses my accent for evil, I think.
