People with anxiety aren’t a super-sensitive separate species. But, there are a few things you should probably know.

Mostly, we just want you to stay calm, be there for us when we need it, and always be open to talking stuff out. To be the best person ever when dating someone with anxiety, here’s some stuff it’s worth being aware of.

1. Never, ever call us ‘crazy’

Kind of tapping into our biggest insecurity there, buddy.

2. Sometimes, being logical isn’t the best thing

Deep down, we KNOW that we’re not going to get fired because of that stupid thing we said to our boss. But just let us rant for a bit.

3. But, other times, we do need a hit of rational thinking

If we’re getting carried away with ridiculous potential outcomes, we’ll appreciate you stepping in and reminding us that getting… Read the full story

When you make a bet and lose that bet, you’ve got to suck it up and take the forfeit like a champ.

And that’s exactly what Reddit user Hansel34 did when he got thrashed by his cousin in a push-up competition.

‘In the beginning of the school year as motivation for school/fitness, my cousin and I decided to have a GPA/push-up bet,’ Hansel said in the caption for his post titled ‘Lost a bet with my cousin, this is the result’.

‘She ended up getting a 4.0 across the board, which I wasn’t even close too [sic]’.

‘The winner could do whatever they wanted to the other person’s hair, she definitely was pretty kind with it!’ says Hansel.

In the market for a new set of bath towels? Maybe Amazon isn’t the best go-to if you’re after cheap and cheerful.

Amazon is selling a six-piece set of towels so luxe, ‘100 percent supima zero-twist cotton’, that they’ve got a price tag of $796,046,677,457.16.

That’s $800 billion (£521 billion), people. Plus a $4.49 shipping fee.

Whether it’s all in the amethyst shade (read: violet) or that wrapping one of these bad boys around your naked bod transports you into a land of gold. Or it’s just a cheeky error, we don’t know.

But guaranteed having one would mean getting out of the shower like…

What we do know is, there’s already been some brilliant reviews. And by brilliant, we mean hilarious.

Check out what these customers had to say about Calcot Ltd product.

When you run into someone from high school it’s always at the worst possible time of your life.

And we end up saying a polite few words, but meaning something else entirely.

Oh hey you

You think their name is Paula or Pauline. But it could be Greg so better not take any chances.

Hiiiii

The longer the greeting lasts, the less pleased you are to see them. It’s science.

Wow it’s been what.. a while

You have no idea how long ago it’s been and you don’t care.

Fancy seeing you

Why? Why are they here?

I must have not seen you for years

When I was 12 I tried to overdose for the first time.

I left my childminder downstairs and I walked up to the bathroom.

I found a pack of pills, checked the dosage on the back and then made sure I popped each and every one – several times the maximum amount.

Then I panicked.

Not because I was worried about dying, but because I was worried for the consequences if I didn’t succeed. My life would surely be worse.

By the time I was taken to hospital, it was too late to have my stomach pumped so I had to drink charcoal to absorb the toxins from my system.

When my mum got to the hospital she asked me why I did it.

I never gave her… Read the full story

This tiny dancer is taking over the internet with her fierce performance of Aretha Franklin’s Respect.

Six-year-old Johanna’s amazing routine has now been viewed on Facebook an incredible 18.7 million times after her mum Elissa M Colon posted it to her page on June 7.

The little mover totally stole the show at a dance recital this weekend with her tap performance of the disco floor-filler. She brought ALL the sass.

Elissa, who admits Johanna can’t quite understand her newfound fame yet, describes her daughter as ‘feisty’ and ‘bubbly’.

According to ABC News, Johanna’s dance instructor purposefully chose ‘Respect’ knowing that Johanna would be able to make it her own. She got a standing ovation at the end of the performance. Naturally.

The routine starts off slow.

But, what you want, do you know I’ve got it?

Welcome to our new favourite meme: Derploma Guy.

Isn’t the internet a wonderful place?

A high school graduate posted a picture from his graduation ceremony on Imgur on June 4. He wrote: ‘I graduated high school last week, and this picture of me made it into my local newspaper.’

The internet couldn’t decide if he was the most adorable thing they’d ever seen, or an evil genius with a plan.

‘I’m cutened by him. I wanna hug him. If anyone ever hurts him, I’ll kill them,’ writes one user. Another added: ‘Phase one of your plans for world domination are complete.’

Thus a glorious new internet meme was born.

Beaten the system? You need Derploma Guy.

Professor Severus Snape has been discovered alive and well and working at a New York airport.

Harry Potter fans have long been curious about the raven-haired ticketing agent who works for American Airlines at LaGuardia airport.

Rumours have been swirling among the fandom since 2012 that the ex-Potions Master had resurfaced at the NYC boarding gate, and now it has been officially confirmed by American Airlines via a Facebook post earlier this week.

Heads up, Apple is finally repping for women in a big way; its next iPhone update will have menstruation tracking.

The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference on Tuesday revealed that the company’s health software platform, HealthKit, which already monitors fitness, nutrition, sleep, vitamin D intake and blood alcohol content, will now cater for the smart-phone savvy women.

It’s a long time coming, but at least Apple has finally recognised the need to add period tracking to its health platform.

‘Oooh heaven is a place on earth’ sang Belinda Carlisle back in the day. And we’re inclined to agree with her after seeing the world’s best hotel.

Paradise has been found and it’s Gili Lankanfushi in the Maldives.

The hotel was declared the world’s best for 2015 by TripAdvisor and it’s absolutely dreamy.

Sitting atop a clear blue lagoon on a the tiny coral island of Lankanfushi in the Malé Atoll are 45 private overwater villas.

A kind waitress from Texas has hit headlines for a random act of kindness towards a grieving couple.

Kayle Lane, who works at the West Side Cafe in Forth Worth, paid Shaun and Debbie Riddle’s bill after finding out that the couple had recently lost their baby daughter, Glory.

Writing on Facebook, Debbie explained that she and Shaun are fairly regular faces at the diner, and had been in with their daughter Glory the previous month.

So when Kayla saw them last week, she naturally asked where their baby was. It was at this point that the couple had to break the sad news that their daughter had tragically passed away four weeks earlier,… Read the full story

Your stir-fries and fajitas are about to get really sexy.

Asda has followed up its groundbreaking ‘no tears’ red onion, with another world first – stripy peppers.

They’re so fancy, as Iggy Izalea would almost definitely sing.

The stripy peppers were invented to tackle that age-old problem of getting kids to eat their greens.

Asda thinks they’ll have more luck with stripy yellows and reds.

Whether you moved out this year, or you’ve been living as an independent adult for years, there’s a list as long as your bank statement of things that we all miss after moving away from our family home.

It’s a heart-breaking topic, so we’ve kept it to the 16 most tragic things. Read on, and try to hold back the tears.

1. Reliable breakfasts

Before you left home, you didn’t realise that waking up and there’s no breakfast in the house was a thing. You were so naïve back then.

2. Back-up transport

If you were ever in a fix, there was a good chance your parents could help you out with a lift (if you asked nicely).… Read the full story

Norfolk is a spectacular part of the world but, like anywhere, it has its own quirks that everyone who grew up here will understand.

1. It always smells in one way or another

Usually it smells lovely, particularly during the rapeseed growing season but occasionally it won’t smell quite that delicious. There’s a distinct smell of fields that we all know and have got used to over the years. To put it lightly, it smells like manure but it’s just one of those things that comes with living in the countryside.

The smell of rain on a warm summer day is well known throughout the world but in Norfolk, it rains so infrequently that we savour that smell… Read the full story

French actress, supermodel, singer and all round MEGA-babe Brigitte Bardot defined the 1960s.

And the 13 unseen photos of the icon in a London boozer on exhibition at Dadiani Fine Art this month are just everything.

Legendary photographer Ray Bellisario took this collection of photos back in 1968 when Bardot was in London filming Shalako, which she starred in alongside Sean Connery.

Not only did the famed paparazzi photographer secretly whisk Bardot off her feet – pass her security guards and into his new motor – but he took her to a pub along Albemarle Street in Mayfair and got her to pose (check that bar lean) for a series of stunning shots.

Not staged,… Read the full story

There’s something incredible about working in a cinema – there’s also a lot of things that suck the magic right out of it.

If you’ve ever worked as a ticket-ripper, popcorn-scooper or trailer-uploader, we guarantee you’ll be able to tick off at least 90% of this list.

1. The projection room is a place of serenity

Dimmed room, whirring computers, little screens to watch the films on tiptoes…

2. The projection room can also descend into panic

What’s that? Trailers for the 18 rated film are playing on the Saturday morning kids’ screening? EVERYBODY HIT THE DECK.

Must. Remain. Professional. Against. All. Temptation.

4. Dreading a fire drill
