Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 6.4 Shayne Topp

Hello, and welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme is overreacting.

0

Chapter 2: Should I end my relationship because my boyfriend says he loves me?

7.061 - 14.773 Shayne Topp

Am I overreacting? I don't know. I'm joined by two people who, frankly, do give us some of the best reactions on this show.

0

14.793 - 18.078 Arasha

What? What? How could you?

0

18.498 - 20.301 Shayne Topp

Courtney and Arasha are here.

0

22.475 - 25.639 Unknown

Those are some of the great reactions.

0

25.759 - 26.82 Shayne Topp

We're going to be seeing more of that.

26.901 - 28.102 Unknown

Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are.

28.242 - 38.956 Shayne Topp

What do you think the chances are of something giving you the type of reaction where you literally get up off the couch and run around? We have a lot more room now. We do. We do. To run around.

Chapter 3: What should I do if a package addressed to another woman arrives at my house?

38.976 - 52.235 Shayne Topp

We do have more space. This couch is a little bit bigger. I can just roll around and just start just going crazy moshing. The poof went tight. You cannot throw that poof at me. Okay, well, challenge accepted. Okay, well, I have a pillow now.

0

52.536 - 57.686 Unknown

Oh, cool. Good luck. Good luck. So you're going to, like, fend it off? If I throw poof, you'll return the pillow?

0

Chapter 4: How should I handle my nanny family having sex during the day?

57.706 - 59.409 Shayne Topp

I will walk with pillow, throw pillow.

0

59.429 - 60.311 Unknown

Okay.

0

60.371 - 77.088 Shayne Topp

Stay tuned. This is our first time on the Reddit set. How is this chair for you? It's nice. It's comfortable. Hell yeah. I feel like it's the Martin Scorsese thing now, where I'm like... Like, I'm fully locked in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice, nice. Here. Nice. Yeah, I'm excited for the stories today.

0

77.128 - 90.822 Shayne Topp

I feel like the reactions, like, it can be either so bad that I can't even move and I go inside my body. Yeah. Or where I need to frolic out of anger. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Or just throughout the story just being like, what? Huh? I know.

0

91.502 - 92.523 Unknown

Huh? Throughout.

Chapter 5: What should I do after a bad text from a date?

92.744 - 97.268 Unknown

He said what? There, you can use that at any point in the video.

0

98.125 - 102.45 Arasha

Yeah, let's just like back order a few reactions up at the top, okay?

0

103.051 - 103.852 Shayne Topp

He said what?

0

105.154 - 106.255 Arasha

Wait, can I hear that again?

0

106.315 - 107.837 Unknown

Mm-hmm.

107.857 - 116.728 Arasha

Okay. For real? Shane, why would you say that horrible word? I got one.

117.549 - 118.17 Shayne Topp

Okay.

Chapter 6: Am I overreacting about my boyfriend wishing me happy birthday late?

118.25 - 120.092 Arasha

Please, please have an update.

0

120.713 - 123.382 Shayne Topp

These are good. You're ready.

0

123.743 - 128.171 Arasha

Yeah, and if you put those only at the beginning, it'll be really embarrassing.

0

128.191 - 129.473 Shayne Topp

I told you that. We'll switch those around.

0

129.493 - 130.515 Arasha

Yeah, yeah, no, they got our back.

130.856 - 150.097 Shayne Topp

All right, our first story comes from Am I Overreacting? Posted in January of this year, 2026. Am I overreacting if I end my relationship because my boyfriend kisses and tells me he loves me before leaving for work in the morning? Wait, what? I thought that sentence was going different places.

150.538 - 154.283 Unknown

He said what? And then it ended up being super sweet. Yeah, let's get that one more time.

Chapter 7: How do I navigate feelings of jealousy in a relationship?

154.324 - 161.995 Shayne Topp

Am I overreacting if I end my relationship because my boyfriend kisses and tells me he loves me before leaving for work in the morning?

0

162.856 - 165.28 Unknown

You want to end it because of that?

0

165.3 - 167.483 Shayne Topp

All right. I hate that my boyfriend loves me.

0

167.823 - 169.987 Unknown

Yeah. No, he's a monster.

0

170.547 - 190.346 Shayne Topp

All right. My boyfriend, who's 39, and I, a 30-year-old woman, have different work schedules. Most days of the week, boyfriend has to be out of the house by 7 a.m. As a grad student, I am often up late working, but try to sleep in so I still get at least eight hours of sleep. Fortunately, my partner and I have separate bedrooms, so in theory, this should be perfectly manageable.

190.726 - 210.07 Shayne Topp

But despite repeatedly asking him not to, he always comes into my room to kiss me and tell me he loves me before he leaves, which wakes me up every time. I have an aura ring, so I am also able to see that this often takes place when I am in deep sleep, which in addition to lost sleep hours, leaves me incredibly groggy throughout the day.

210.11 - 227.188 Shayne Topp

I know it's sweet, but I've suggested if he wants to be cute to please leave a note or a nice text I can wake up to. I remind him not to wake me up in the morning the night before and will even tape notes to my door that say, please don't wake me up, and he still does anyway.

227.168 - 236.698 Shayne Topp

Otherwise, our relationship is great, so maybe it's the sleep deprivation talking, but I'm really feeling at my wit's end with this. Please help me find some clarity on what to do, Reddit.

237.418 - 241.122 Unknown

Oh, gosh. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is so interesting.

Chapter 8: What should I do if I feel uncomfortable with my nanny family's behavior?

417.163 - 418.826 Shayne Topp

I'm not a sleep scientist.

0

418.986 - 419.627 Unknown

Totally.

0

419.647 - 421.33 Shayne Topp

But she's mad about being woken up at 7 a.m.

0

421.35 - 426.259 Unknown

Which makes sense because sleep, you know, it's precious for a lot of people. It's, of course, needed for all of us.

0

426.319 - 436.116 Arasha

So it makes sense that it is like you're disrupting something that is so vital to this person being able to actually follow through and be themselves throughout all day.

436.136 - 453.57 Shayne Topp

Yeah. Clearly she's the type that she likes her space and her time. They have separate rooms. I mean, it's super way more common now, but it says a lot. It shows like, you know, setting boundaries. It doesn't matter if the act is a very sweet act. If someone's saying, hey, please don't do that, it kind of doesn't matter how sweet it is and how sweet the intentions are. Totally.

453.97 - 456.776 Shayne Topp

The sweetest thing is to listen to them. Yeah, I mean, a note.

457.197 - 457.397 Unknown

Come on.

457.377 - 458.659 Shayne Topp

Say goodbye when you go to sleep.
