[🤤] I've lost count. At least 20 maybe more. [🥄] Breakfast for sure. Sometimes I can get by with skipping lunch or dinner (not on purpose!) but I can almost never get away with missing that first meal of the day [🗣️] Apart from my partner, it's come up a couple of times. The worst is when it's at work. The idea of people I don't know much outside of work noticing my tummy is really embarrassing to me. With my friends and people I'm close with, it doesn't bother me as much because at the end of the day it's a normal bodily function. [👀] Yes. Too much. I've been able to hide it from people well but a couple of loud growls have slipped through and I noticed people eyeing me and it made me REALLY self-conscious. [🕒] Any time that's close to a meal. If I'm not busy, it's like clockwork. If I forget to eat because I'm moving around and doing things, my tummy lets me know that I need to eat before I start feeling it. [🍕] When I cut back on my junk food consumption for whatever reason, I find myself feeling hungrier more often and more intensely. [🏋️] Yes, in high school a lot when I was an athlete. In general, I try not to do it too much these days because I do tend to get dizzy. [🔊] Morning, obviously. [🗯️] As you can tell by my channel's content, VERY loud. [😖] Thankfully not as much as you'd expect. When my tummy starts hurting that's when I KNOW I'm hungry and I need to eat soon otherwise I run the risk of passing out. [🍽️] Work is crazy this time of year, so I have skipped meals occasionally by accident. I haven't done any on purpose though. I only realized I skipped meals because my tummy started growling at me. [❌] Back in high school, I went on this big craze for a bit where I tried to lose weight to fit into a dress I really liked. It was never going to work because at the time I didn't realize my waist wasn't the problem it was my height. But I distinctly remember one of my friends commenting on me not eating, I said I wasn't hungry when she offered some food, and immediately my tummy growled loud enough for my entire friend group to hear it. I was so mortified I just got up and hid in the bathroom that was near the library that no one went to for the rest of lunch. [🤚] It makes it better in that it relieves the achiness, but it makes it worse because it makes my tummy growl louder sometimes. My partner loves to tease my tummy and my belly button when I'm hungry and it does bring out some noises from time to time. [🛍️] Thankfully no. I've gotten primarily contactless deliveries since the pandemic though because I have horrific social anxiety with strangers. [💢] The growls are always my first notice that I'm hungry. Then comes the emptiness/hollowness, followed by a dull ache. [🛏️] Yes, not intentionally. Sometimes I get hungry but feel like I don't want to eat, especially when I'm sick. It's the oddest thing. My tummy will be growling non-stop because of hunger and yet I feel nauseous and don't want to eat. It's maddening. [🎒] In college I did it often. When you're in college, especially for the major I was in, there really isn't much time to eat and I would often sleep in because I was so exhausted from coursework and studying. It was worth it to graduate a year early to make money sooner, but it did have its drawbacks. Thankfully, I usually put a large bookbag in front of me to stifle the sounds and sat away from people. As far as I was aware, people just thought I was antisocial (which is partly true). [💤] Yes! I always sit up and wait, then get up and eat something if my tummy continues to rumble. [👂]Yes quite a bit. My friends growing up liked to do that cause they found it funny and always joked that I swallowed a tiger. I had a friend of mine in middle and high school that liked to play with my belly button when we would hang out alone not because she had a fetish but because she liked tracing the little lines and dips in my belly button. It felt oddly good so I didn't stop her. A lot of times during that my tummy would growl and she would laugh and joke that it was enjoying her touch.

Looks like the medical exam RP won the poll! Hannah said she would love to help me with it (she's a nurse) so it doesn't feel awkward, so I'm going to do that. Because of that, it's gonna take a bit longer to edit it down but I promise it'll be worth it! Also, since the hungry friend option got a lot of votes too, I might also do that one as well. I also might have a girl friend who's willing to help me with that :) If not, I'll just do that one solo if I do it. Thank you so much for the votes I can't believe 71 of you voted! -Lily <3
