I think it’s finding the right shorts. Need to have fabric where rubbing would be. I’m an AFAB woman but this also worked for my AMAB husband. You need a snug fit from just below the crotch to as far down as your thighs seem to regularly touch while walking. Sports shorts with built in bike short type layer under the lightweight looser short layer work great. Hit up a store like TJ Max if you have one locally to try on a variety of “workout” shorts to find a good fit. Then find that brand and fit other places. An alternative is purchasing bike shorts or boxer briefs that you like to wear and that work under your favorite shorts.

Staying on with silence has actually the opposite effect. At the end of the shift, managers and owners see the length of the call time and will assume the caller was a few steps away from closing the deal, so you’re a mark and a good number and will get on the lists to sell. Hang up immediately. You’re just playing games with yourself if you try and fix that system.

I’m so sorry to see that people are sending you such negative replies. I believe you were truly asking a very real, very honest question. Anyone would be anxious after hearing a loud noise that is unexplainable! I do believe you should listen to your heart - if you heard this at the very time you were talking to your friend about God, it is meaningful to you. 🙏🏻 You can always talk to God and learn more and read. Please don’t be bothered by some of the replies. If this has stirred something in your heart you will know.

I don’t think any of us can say it wasn’t or was a message from God. It could have been a message from God and a pipe bursting, a tire popping, a transformer blowing, a branch falling in the roof, etc.

As for whether you should pray, let me ask you something: how do you think your mother would feel if the only time you talked to her was at scheduled times of the day when the rules say you have to?

How would you feel if your father or one of your siblings just ignored you and never talked to you?

If you believe, like I do, that God loves you/is a loving parent, don’t you think He just adores it when you interact with him?

Have you ever gotten a hug or a kiss from a baby or made a baby laugh? Isn’t it just the greatest feeling ever?

Don’t you think God relishes that kind of interaction with His children? It can only help us, too. Prayer helps us to remember He’s there for us.
