Things are about to get pretty dark for a second.

While many people suffer from mental illness, only a small percentage seek help, are on the right medications for them, or are even diagnosed. In the United States especially there are a lot of issues with how depression and anxiety are perceived, shamed and misunderstood. If your friend is suffering from depression, don't tell them to go to soul cycle and take a bubble bath. "Self care" isn't the cure for mental illness, it's just a temporary fix like ice cream and a broken heart in a rom-com.

Even if you're struggling yourself with mental health problems, sometimes it's hard to recognize the symptoms. Because depression isn't as black and white as a broken leg or an organ problem, people often try to suppress or minimize their own pain by assuming it's something they can control. When a recent Reddit user asked, "What screams 'I'm depressed?'" people were definitely ready to share.

1. Real, "Blake88fair."

Not showing interest i things and people you once loved. Your bed is your bestie but you can’t sleep. You either can’t stop eating or the idea of eating revolts you.

2. Yup, "NotABurner2000."

New hobbies obsessions usually replace the old ones, bonus points if they're destructive

3. Does wine count? "gametogenesis."

A sudden lack of interest in things that individual usually loves.

4. On point, "ConneryFTW."

Just a general malaise that doesn't seem to go away.

Knowing that you like things, but not having the energy to do them.

Becoming more easily frustrated, flustered, or stressed.

When you're depressed everything seems to take like 150% more effort at minimum.

Making "peace" with the fact that you're uncomfortable. Or expanding your definition of what fine is. To an unhealthy degree.

5. Ok but sleeping is great, "homerbartbob."

Sleeping way too much.

Not sleeping but staying in bed for hours.

Lack of appetite/not eating

Excess drinking

6. Damn this dark as hell, "JoshWaarBee."

Getting drunk or high at any opportunity, often alone.

Being desperately lonely, but not wanting to bother anyone, or guilt them into spending time with you, so you just sit there doing absolutely nothing, waiting and hoping for someone to get in contact with you, but they never do, so you just spend your free time doing absolutely nothing but watching videos, and idly swiping through reddit and tinder, getting gradually closer and closer to a complete breakdown, and/or suicide.

7. Sage advice, "JoshWaarBee."

I think a more vague, but more helpful rule is "Never use drugs to solve a problem, because then you've got two problems."

I'm no stranger to breaking this rule, but do as I say, not as I do.

8. Canceling plans IS happiness, "kingcal."

I feel alone all the time.

One of my best friends recently came to my town and asked if I wanted to hang out.

I said no.

9. Wow, "ElephantsOnTurtle."

A loss of passion for doing anything, everything is a struggle including getting out of bed. You go inside yourself and find it harder to engage with other people or relate to them and no longer value yourself. To the majority of people it is misread as being lazy or slobbish but in reality you don't care anymore and lose interest in just about everything and that includes yourself.

10. Good advice, "ilovemygyro."

Poor hygiene

When you're depressed, you simply don't care about taking care of you. This is half the reason it's recommended that you should shower and get ready for the day, even if you're day is going to be spent doing nothing.

11. Yup, "codered434."

That little pause and eyes glaze over for the briefest of seconds before answering "how are you?" with some variation of "good" with no elaboration.

12. This is brutal, "IceDearth6408."

Assuming the worst about everybody you interact with. Having aggressive conversations with people you barely know in your head and then hating them for it although it was just your own fucked up imagination.

Days where you want the whole world to fuck off.

A lack of interest in stuff that you normally like to do.

Convincing yourself you are a failure even though you recently achieved many goals or are actually successful. This can go into comparing yourself to others territory.

Extreme anger and irritation over minor things.

Brushing off kind words from loved ones because they are obviously biased and just telling you that stuff to make you feel good, but don’t actually believe what they say because you hate yourself.

13. The storm is real, "RealisticYogurt6."

Putting your mask on and getting ready for the storm you’re going to face when in public.

14. Very true, "jaded_backer."

Carrying on living a completely normal life and being upbeat and optimistic, but having nothing to live for on the inside. You don't always see any outward signs of someone's internal state.

15. Keep 'em laughing, "Sarcastic__."

I like to think I'm a fairly funny and jokey guy in general. When I'm feeling real down though, most of my jokes become self-deprecating ones. It's not healthy at all as it reinforces my thoughts and people usually do laugh at self-deprecating jokes.

It's conventional wisdom that Beyoncé, with her instantly iconic Coachella performance and the accompanying documentary, invented marching bands.

Drumlines have become as synonymous with Queen Bey as baseball bats, having hot sauce in your bag, and being cheated on by Jay-Z. Only a stupid idiot would invite comparisons to Beyoncé by staging a performance with a drumline of their own so soon after the release of Homecoming, and that stupid idiot is Taylor Swift.

Last night at the Billboard Music Awards (also known as Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas's wedding pre-game), Tay Tay performed her song "ME!" with a pastel group of drummers looking like the Energizer Bunny, and Beychella wannabes.

Beyoncé's Beychella was more that just a performance. She recruited her marching bands from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and announced that four HBCUs will receive grants from her foundation.

The comparisons between Beychella and Tay-whatever-that-was were instant, and hilarious.

Swift's pep rally for herself was hilariously named "MAGAchella" and "mayochella" for its blinding whiteness.

The Kanye of it all makes it way too easy.

Taylor Swift's fans got defensive, arguing that the criticism was unfair.

Swift stans argued that "Taylor's used drumlines before!" But apparently, Destiny's Child also did before that.

It's war.

The BBMAs performance wasn't the first time that Tay was accused of copying Bey. Taylor's "Look What You Made Me Do" video back in 2017 had moments that copied the formation from "Formation."

The winner of this feud is all of us who just get to sit back, relax, and enjoy the memes. You're allowed to like them both, if you like them both.

There may ultimately be peace in the land, but I still want to use this GIF.

Listen, there artists and then there are artistes (it's French, babe, look it up). The latter is a sacred term used to describe only those who have earned it, and today I would like to introduce you to a woman who has.

Meet Mary Beth Barone, a New York city comedian and master of her craft. In a recent Twitter post, Barone shared images of a homemade pamphlet she created that answered all the inevitable questions her family would have about her date. According to the pamphlet, Barone was going on a date while on a family vacation (brave), so she decided to save herself some breath/sanity by answering any and all questions via the written word. Genius.

Like, literally what even is the "Mona Lisa," and who do we talk to make sure this pamphlet replaces it at the Louvre.

So important to remind loved ones to stay chill during these times of duress.

This innovative idea opens up so many doors for women in America...and across the world. We could make pamphlets for...everything. We could never have to explain anything to our families, men, or our one problematic friend ever again. Attending a high school reunion and don't feel like updating everyone on what you've been up to? Make a pamphlet. Deciding that bangs are the right choice for your head shape and that you're going to move forward with them no matter what your friends and family say? Pamphlet. And the list goes on and on.

Of course, we were not the only one who noticed this masterpiece.

We stan!!!

There's been a trend in the last five years of women feeling pressure to look good in all the situations that have existed for centuries in addition to while pushing a 6-10 pound newborn out of their birth canal while screaming and sweating in a hospital room. In case you thought maybe the patriarchy was over, worrying about how your face looks instead of the fact that you're about to have a child is a sign we're very far away from it.

While the term "glam-shaming" was popularized by ABC's "The Bachelor" and I'm not trying to glam-shame anyone who feels their best when they look their best even in moments of intense pain, like labor. If you're a social media influencer who feels financial pressure to document every moment of your life, go ahead and put some mascara on while you push. However, some people feel that mothers focusing on their own appearance feels selfish in a moment that's all about selflessness. This is definitely a valid point, but maybe they don't want to kid to grow up and be embarrassed by how rough mom looks in the birthday photos? Just kidding, it's all about Instagram likes.

Some people are supportive of this technique:

Others, however, remain unconvinced:

What will happen in the future when our self driving cars deliver our babies for us and Instagram is connected to our thoughts? Required plastic surgery for birth? We'll never know!

Here is the line where I warn you about spoilers, but honestly, if you haven't watched the latest Game of Thrones episode and still decided to click this link...it might be time to re-evaluate how you make decisions.

OKAY. Moving on. Arya is the Night King Slayer. The Protector of the Realm. The Quintessential Bad Bitch of Westeros. This we know.

The moment Arya Stark stabbed the Night King while he had her in a choke hold was iconic to say the least. This woman got past all of his personal body guards because she is a legit ninja, flew in from behind, and then dropped her knife to her other hand as he attempted to strangle her and gutted him right where it hurts, literally saving the world in one full swoop. She really is that bitch.

Naturally, nobody has been able to get over this epic moment. So much so, that people are even trying it at home and calling it the #AryaChallenge or doing #TheArya.

This is fun, but just make sure you don't use real weapons or any equipment you don't know how to handle. We aren't all young assassins who spent years training to become killing machines.

Sorry not sorry, bros. These hilarious memes probably aren't going to make you laugh one single bit. This awesome list is for ladies eyes only.

Some of y'all on the internet never had parents that said, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all," and it shows. Listen up, Trump.

While it's admirable to be honest and open to new perspectives, confessing that you're sexist (even if you mean well) might not be the best the approach. When Bill Leasure, a self described "US Army Public Affairs Officer, Dad, and Miner's Son" tweeted a challenge for men asking them to list five women they admire, he probably should've left out the part where he admits he "struggled."

Bill, it's only five people. Out of all the people. Not only in your life, but in all of human history. It's five people, Bill. OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE. He could've listed his mom for all five and nobody would've cared. In fact, that probably would've been a hilarious tweet. Usually, Bill tweets totally harmless hot takes like this:

However, this "challenge" was a totally different situation. I'm going to give Bill here the benefit of the doubt and assume he was trying to get the men on his Twitter feed to give the women in their lives the praise they deserve, but why was it difficult? If I tweeted, "Hey ladies! Here's a challenge. Think of five men in your life who are smart! I'll confess, this one took me hours," I would be trolled into oblivion by the sewer rats of the internet for all of eternity. Fortunately for the few women who Bill respects, he was flame-roasted Daenerys-dragon style.

Here's an optimistic take:

But, that didn't last long:

Later, he explained himself:

Some people still remained unconvinced:

Thanks for trying, Bill, but maybe next time you won't have to feel shame for looking up to the opposite sex. We're all just people and we're all capable of doing amazing things! Own your Dolly Parton stan-fandom, boy.

Being a parent can't be easy. You have to raise these tiny, lawless humans, keep them from hurting themselves and others, teach them how to navigate this bonkers world, and prevent them from getting preventable diseases (thanks, anti-vaxxers!). On top of all that, you have to be careful not to report yourself to the police for accidentally being a "pervert" and scaring the living daylights out of them while they're at school. If that last part doesn't resonate with you, then you're not the dad who shared his hilariously bizarre story on the Reddit page "TIFU" (Today I F*cked Up). And boy, oh boy, did this guy fuck up! Keep reading for one of the least relatable parenting missteps I've ever read, and I've read most of the internet.

The story begins with every parent's worst nightmare, a creepy stranger in a van (shudders):

Over the course of the last week my twin 7 year old sons started telling me about a creepy man who sat it the parking lot at school and stared at them. This morning, I finally took the initiative and called the school. They assured me that the situation would be handled.

Unclear what took him so long, but glad this dad finally did the right thing and tried to intervene. But when he did, he was in for a very, very strange surprise. The story continues:

Now, here's how stupid I apparently am: I've been doing electrical repairs on a facility near my sons' school, and each day I park my work van in the school parking lot to eat lunch and use the WiFi. I wave to my sons as they go from one building to the building housing the cafeteria for lunch.

If you're realizing that I'm the "pervert" I reported, congratulations, you're officially sharper than me.

By now, we've all realized that this guy himself is the "pervert" who was scaring his children at school. Unfortunately, he arrived at this conclusion the hard way. He continues:

I didn't realize it until 3 police cars surrounded my work van.

As it turns out, between the work van they'd never seen me in, my hardhat, and my sunglasses, the boys never realized it was me.

Luckily, after what must have been the most awkward 30 minutes of his life, the man was exonerated by police for the "charges" he accidentally brought upon himself:

After about a 30 minute conversation with the police and the principal, they decided I was a harmless moron and decided to let me go. I was, however, asked not to park my van there for lunch anymore.

This clueless dad is being dragged to Hell in the comments for his seemingly obvious mistake. "I mean this in the nicest way possible, but how can you be so stupid haha," says one commenter, who didn't mince words.

But others are trying to commiserate, by pointing out the dumb mistakes they've made, like this guy who reveals:

We have those big mirrored balls on the ceiling at my work at hallway junctions to prevent collisions. More than a few times I saw a guy coming and prepared to move only to realize I’d been watching myself come down the hall.

And hey, who hasn't been accidentally scared of their own reflection in a window or mirror at some point? Or thought someone had broken into their home, only to realize they live with another human?

In conclusion: most of us are doing the best we can in this life. And sometimes our best is not very good.

How do you do, fellow depressives?

In these strange times we live in, corporations have been battling it out to represent themselves as the Wokest Company of Them All.

Remember the time Gillette condemned misogyny to sell razors? Everyone remembers where they were when Kendall Jenner and Pepsi ended police brutality forever. The latest multi-million dollar company to present itself as an ally to the masses is Burger King, which is doing a special promotion for Mental Health Awareness Month in May.

Why go to McDonald's when you can get a free toy with a Happy Meal, when you can go to Burger King and get a Blue Meal, a Salty Meal, a Yaaas Meal or a DGAF (Don’t Give a F*ck) Meal.

Each emotion comes with a Whopper, fries, and a drink.

The campaign is called #FeelYourWay, a reference to Burger King's slogan "Have It Your Way" the other eleven months of the year.

The fast food chain put up a PSA-style commercial, featuring a sad man in a dark room, another sad man complaining about his student loan, a teenage girl bulled at school, a young mom saying "Suck it, world"—all problems that can be solved by going to Burger King!!!

While the head honchos at corporate likely expected everyone to say, "thank you, Burger King, for acknowledging my human emotions," the backlash is less "Yaaas Meal" and more "Blue Meal."

People are roasting the chain for using mental illness to sell fast food.

Do you practice what you preach, Mr. Burger King?

How generous of them to accept money from people with mental illness.

Thanks, Burger King, but I'll stick to Prozac.

Today's good day is sponsored by memes. Start your day off laughing at these bad boys. You'll be glad you did.

We all have those moments where something comes out of our mouths that we immediately wish we could incinerate mid air, send back in time and explode into a black hole.

There's a reason we're taught as children to think before we speak, but every once in awhile our brains and lips betray us and something completely unintentional comes out instead. Luckily, they can also be hysterical.

When Richard Osman, British comedian and TV presenter tweeted his experience with the all-too-familiar world of word vomit, others were quick to sympathize. Shout out to everyone who has ever said, "you too" to a waiter who says, " enjoy," or a doctor who says, "get well soon," these are much worse...

Oh, Richard. This is amazing.

Happy anniversary, indeed.

The fun of being aGame of Thronesfan is 80% watching the show, 20% consuming every theory, podcast, and video lecture about Westeros. I scoured the internet for the most interesting theories of the show's endgame (not to be confused with Avengers: Endgame), and these ones are so crazy, they just might work.

1. It's on with Bronn,pandabearguy21 predicts.

Here's what he thinks will go down:

• Bronn will head north and die trying to kill Jaime and Tyrion. He will kill Jaime.
• Arya, using Jaime's face, will kill Cersei, fulfilling green eyes prophecy, Hound will kill The Mountain.
• Daenerys will win the war but the North will still favor Jon Snow, leading to a fight for the crown
• Jon will be killed by Daenerys after she has gone mad and Tyrion will swap sides to be with Sansa
• A new lord of death will be created, either Jon or Daenerys is turned into the new Night King or Queen, or Cersei/Qyburn have already manufactured a new zombie creating magical destructive weapon. The fight between god of life and death continues.

2. Tyrion will be the one killed by Bronn, per HilmAbigail.

3. "Bran is the Lord of Light" is the new "Bran is the Night King."

Redditor DontMicrowaveCats cited an interview with George R.R. Martin to make the case.

GRRM brought up Beric Dondarrion (RIP) with Time Magazine, saying, "He’s not a living human being anymore. His heart isn’t beating, his blood isn’t flowing in his veins, he’s a wight, but a wight animated by fire instead of by ice, now we’re getting back to the whole fire and ice thing."

So, since the Night King (RIP) controlls the "ice wights," who controls the "fire wights"?

The theory suggests that all of the miracles attributed to the "Lord of Light" might actually have been achieved by Bran and his warging powers:

All of the "magical Lord of Light moments" that are supposedly the God's work, are actually Bran manipulating the past, resurrecting people and making sure Arya got the knife and made it to kill NK.

-Beric getting brought back to life so many times….it wasn't the shitty priest saying a prayer. Both he and Melisandre said he shouldn't have that power. In fact, it was Bran bringing him back to life so he could help Arya during the battle.

-The hound surviving. Septon Ray told him he thought he was a corpse. He also told him that he pretty much died multiple times while he was recovering, but he kept coming back to life. After he comes back to life, he's fighting for good. Again, hound ended up a key figure in getting Arya to the NK.

-Jon coming back. No evidence again to suggest Melisandre's prayer did it. She completely gave up, and he didn't come back to life until a while after.

-The trench lighting on fire…again, it didn't seem to be Melisandre's words that did it. You could see she was getting frustrated/confused when it wasn't working at first. It was actually Bran summoning fire.

-Lord Varys hearing the voice in the flames after he was cut....which is said to be what lead to him ending up in King's Landing and rising to power. After that scene with the priestess in the Pyramid, it cut to Bran’s face.

We know Bran is the most powerful living being other than the Night King. We know both he and the Lord of Light are working towards the same goal, and both manipulate the storyline.

It makes sense that Bran is the Lord of light, and all past 3 Eyed Ravens were also the Lord of Light. Or at the very least they’re representatives of him .

Where was Bran during the battle? Making shit happen. This would make the Night King's death wayyy less anticlimactic than it was.

4. The person to kill Cersei will be... Cersei.

Steampunk_Penguin_ proposes that Cersei might pull a Tommen before the show is done:

Jaime will die, one way or another, removing the last reason for Cersei to want to fight. As for the pregnancy, it will either turn out she was lying (also to Jaime, cause remember, he believes it's real), or she will have a miscarriage. She will attempt a defence of King's Landing out of sheer defiance, but quickly lose. Shortly before King's Landing is taken, she will commit suicide, probably the same way she was going to after the Battle of the Blackwater (or maybe the same way Tommen did).

TLDR: Cersei has nothing left to live for if she loses. Jon Snow & co. cold-bloodedly killing her would undermine their position as "good guys". Cersei's suicide would be a good end to some narrative arcs. Cersei will commit suicide before GOT is over.

5. There's going to be a wedding even redder than the Red Wedding.

Ggggggsilks calls this the "Blood Wedding" theory:

There are two primary conflicts remaining over the last 3 episodes. The first is the conflict with Cersei, and the second is the power struggle between Jon and Dany. First, we have to clear the board of Cersei. This manifests firstly through a turn from the Golden Company. They've spoken so many times about them not breaking a contract that at this point its almost a done deal that some sort of reversal is coming from Harry Strickland and Co. It remains to be seen if this will have any basis in the Golden Company's Blackfyre roots detailed in the books. Take that with Clegane bowl and Jaime's killing of Cersei via the culmination of the Valonquar prophesy. Again, the Val prophesy is in the books but we've been building to a Jaime/Cersei showdown for a while now in the show. Clear Qyburn from the board and all we have left is sorting out Dany and Jon's claims to the throne.

First, we have to remember that Dany was to be betrayed three times. Two of those have already happened. Once for blood (Drogo and the Witch), once for gold (Jorah and his spying) and once for love. It's this final betrayal that is the catalyst for the Blood Wedding theory. At this point, my theory for the person in Dany's camp who could betray her for love is Tyrion, for his love of Sansa, brought on through Sansa and Dany's conflict for dominion of the North. This has also already been established heavy-handedly in the final season. Now... we have to remember that the showrunners have spoke openly about three "Holy Shit" moments that occur in the final seasons. The first was Shireen's burning, the second was the Hodor reveal. This third moment is Tyrion's/Northerners betrayal of Dany and her loyal followers.

This shocking moment in theory could be what I call the "Blood Wedding" where Jon and Dany agree to be married, however Jon is more reticent to marry her regarding the incest at play. Tyrion, Sansa, and Jon conspire to kill Dany, Grey Worm, Missandei, and Drogon at the wedding feast. I'm also assuming that Dany will perform more acts that will make her seem an untrustworthy and brutal ruler. There will inevitably be pushback from Jon's side, which will come in the form of Ser Davos, who will need to be killed as well.

In the end, this gives Game of Thrones its promised "bittersweet ending" wherein our heroes and favorite characters rule the Seven Kingoms, but at the cost of this heinous act.

TL;DR: Cersei dies early at Jaime's hand. Tyrion, Sansa, and Jon conspire to kill Dany, GW, Missandei, and Drogon at Jon and Dany's wedding. Davos is killed prior due to his reticence.

Ah, Tinder. When I first started using the app, I couldn't imagine why so many people were single! Within a few minutes of swiping, it became abundantly clear: the dating scene is a sea of nondescript people who can't hold a conversation. Even worse, if you're a woman looking for sex or dating, it's a veritable ocean of awful men. If you sleep with them too early, they'll hold it against you. If you don't sleep with them, they'll hold it against you and tend to the grievance like a garden. Every rose has its thorn, and among those roses grow ugly weeds that might call you a 'fat whore.'

Thea Lauryn Chippendale recently turned a terrible run-in with a Tinder match into a modeling opportunity - kind of. It started when 'George' insulted her and her ASOS dress for seemingly no reason. If it was an attempt at 'negging', a pick up technique that hasn't been fresh since Mystery had a VH1 show, it failed miserably.

The Twittersphere became enraged - and confused - on her behalf. The photo in question is completely inoffensive and she looks lovely, tbh. Sounds to me like he was grasping at straws in a feeble attempt to assert his dominance. It totally backfired.

Lauryn's tweet got the attention of ASOS, which manufactures the dress.

The company delivered in a big way. Take that, random Tinder bully!

Thea effectively became a model for ASOS, with her picture included on its website showing off the now-infamous dress. She absolutely did get the last laugh, and I bet that guy is currently swiping through Tinder, disillusioned at his non-existent dating prospects. Silly boy!

Since Trump's election, a distinct class of pseudo-political personalities has arisen online, the most frustrating of which are white supremacist trolls. Twitter won't censor or deplatform white supremacists, so their dangerous rhetoric is allowed to pervade the Internet - the same kind of rhetoric that's motivated fatal hate crimes against women, Jews, and racial minorities.

One of these hateful douchebags is Nicholas J. Fuentes. Tricky Nick's a self-described 'American nationalist media personality' which means he uses racial prejudice in the US to promote himself and his anti-social values. Exhibit A: the below sentiment, which seems designed to do nothing but piss people off and get his name broadcast across Twitter. It worked, but it also got him raked over the coals.

The tweet has since - wisely, in my opinion - been deleted, but screenshots are forever. People had some choice words for Nick, including some that I'm sure he'd label 'bad' no matter the source's gender.

Tricky Nick got shut down in a big way. I bet he'll consider *his* choice of words more carefully in the future.

If you are a cat lover, chances are you'll be more excited about this meme list than your cat is about anything you ever do.

It's been a crazy week. It was revealed that Robert Mueller was pissed with Attorney General William Barr's summary of his years-long investigation, giving the AG a C for "cover up." Barr testified on the Hill, and by "testified," I mean "defended Trump at all costs." Even MORE white dudes are officially running for president.

None of these tweets have anything to do with those things. Enjoy!

True or false: masculinity is a prison?

We have a winner! But in all seriousness, the social construction of masculinity constrains men. We expect them to rarely express emotion, chase status and financial gain, and assert dominance over women. A short list of things that undermine traditional masculinity? Let's see: empathy, patience, collaboration, trying...

Redditor siverbern2000 asked, 'Men of Reddit what "girly" habits do you enjoy?" and under the blanket of anonymity, LOTS of men responded. I wasn't surprised by how often grooming/self-care habits were cited - I have an ex who thought you washed lotion off your face to 'complete' the moisturizing process - but wasn't expecting so many mentions of crafting. For the record, the ability to make/mend clothing is an asset that makes men MORE attractive, not less. Take note, fellas, and enjoy relating to these confessions.

Having my feet straight up in the air when lying on my stomach

2. ReshiWaystone

My gf got me to join her for a pedicure once, I wear steel toe boots a lot. Sit in a massage chair? Yes please. Soak my feet in a little jacuzzi tub? Sure why not. Foot massage after a 8 hour work day in steels? Damn right I'm in.

I would happily go again.

Skincare routines.

I haven't really been in a comprehensive one for a while but tbh I low key love doing scrubs and facemasks.

4. mattreyu

I crochet which had been called girly, but there's definitely guys who do it too

Edit: I should add that I'm mod for /r/brochet and anyone interested is more than welcome to stop in. The rules say you don't have to be a guy to be a bro, but there are plenty sharing stuff they've made

5. A_bad_poem_for_free

Sewing. Does OP want a quilt? because too bad, only manly stuff comes from these two hands, like tea cozies and mittens.

6. Moodymongrel

In the morning if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches.

Knitting. This motherfucker can knit a scarf so hard. I can just sit down and knit that shit. No idea how to knit anything but a scarf tho...

8. cardboardshrimp

I enjoy it when my wife lets me borrow her fancy hair treatments and while they are in our hair we enjoy having a lovely gossip like we are in a salon.

9. Electronic_Syndicate

My girlfriend is a kickass, hardworking lawyer, and since my job is way less stressful and I get off work an hour earlier than her I like to come home, clean the place, make dinner, and gather the kiddos (a cat and two bunnies) to greet her when she gets home from work. It makes me so happy!

That’s not a “girly” habit but I wondered if it fell within the umbrella.

10. Mintyboy4

I've started to love scented candles over the last year. They just freshen up the smell of your home so much and make nestling down into a good book all the better! Noticed that my female friends houses often smelled nice. Decided to replicate!

I have stuffed plush on my bed. Three of them. I'm 6-4 and have a beard and half covered in tattoos and work in a metal shop and I really enjoy laying in bed with my stuffed Triceratops sitting on my head as I watch Game of Thrones. I also really enjoy skipping but I would be far too embarrassed to actually do it in public

12. Patentabyss87

I bake quite often, cookies, pies, squares, tarts.. Always wear an apron so I don't get flour on my clothes. Allegedly that's kinda feminine.

13. dshall2727

I fucking love flowers.

14. Whizzard-Canada

For some reason I like watching the more feminine comics and tv shows, my SO teases me as she reads heroes and fantasy and I'm just here hoping this couple can stop blushing and being giggly and just fucking kiss already.

15. Esoteric-Surgery

In a similar vein, “girly” music is something I thoroughly enjoy listening to.

It throws people a real curveball when I tell someone I’m listening to insert female pop singer here when I’m wearing a Megadeth t-shirt, but I have no shame. Sara Bareilles, Lady Gaga, and Kelly Clarkson have some serious jams!

short crying sessions watching touching videos on youtube at home alone when I'm drunk. Usually abused animal recovery videos or adult children doing special things for their parents.
