Is there like a manual for social interactions broken down into the tiniest details?
I mean about like…how to keep the conversation flowing, what to ask when you cannot think of any questions, how long should you stay with one topic before mving on. I have this problem where conversations end super quickly because my pattern is like…acknowledging what the other person says, then move on to next topic because I cannot think of any questions. I already know about the Carnegie book, but I feel like there should be something even more basic out there for people with social anxiety or autism or ADHD. I feel like most books about this topic are super general and are like 'Make your conversational partner feel good about themselves!!' yeah, no shit but how and when and how do I do it without coming across as creepy or overly flirtatious?? Like I need specifics

>>1248015>>1248017Thanks very much for the explanation. The good thing is I'm currently doing CBT but could use improvement, and your description of how it interacts with DBT is super helpful in that sense. I don't know if you're really asking me to share my past but I will since I don't mind regardless, I would guess it comes from a clingy overdependency on my parents as well as messages internalized from fairytales as a child (true love and happy ever after). So at least I can source some of it, but I don't know how to combat that
especially when I still am overly dependent. Been working on my anxiety somewhat, which I had even as a young child so its roots may go too deep to recall. Thanks a ton though, this helps give me an overview

>>1248029I think with the anxiety and codependency that can partially be learned helplessness, it’s common in a lot of women. There was a study a long time ago where they put fathers and daughters in a room with a puzzle and fathers and sons. In most cases when the puzzle became to hard fathers would insist on doing it for their daughters, while fathers with sons would encourage their sons to do it themselves and only give hints and the occasional push. It wasn’t purposeful or malicious in any way, all of these fathers said they loved their children, but that behavior in childhood can teach girls to be infantized mentally and emotionally, so they grow up anxious and under confident in their own abilities, while are socialization forces us to be over qualified for most things. It’s a crippling combination, and it’s why you see women who even with degrees and finances don’t have the confidence to leave
abusive relationships or learn to fix their own car. Because they mentally don’t see themselves as capable. It’s learned helplessness and it lies to you to prevent you from learning, growing and improving.
The way to combat it and a lot of the codependency is to invest in yourself. It’s difficult at first, but focus on what you want and what you want in your life. What makes you happy? What do you want to learn? What do you want that has nothing to do with a relationship? Focus on those things. Build yourself up and use the talk therapy to work through things as they come up.
I fell into the fairy tale thing too, hard. I’m still a romantic. But I don’t think most people are. Romanize your life if you can instead. If you have a little extra money instead of spending it on a something to date a moid, buy yourself some flowers or a nice coffee. Learn to cook for yourself and make meals you enjoy. Date and take care of yourself as corny as it may sound. Learn to appreciate the time with yourself and enjoy the rain or the shower or the fresh sheets or whatever makes you happy.
A rule I have to always keep my feet in a relationship is to never move in with a partner before a year, it takes that long for the initial hormone phase to wear off and actually get to know someone, and there’s never any reason to move in with a partner beyond I want to live with you and in healthy relationships that can wait. It’s a red flag if they push you faster.

>>1248085It all depends anon. Take a look, you can have warm and cool versions of any
No. 1248087
>>1248068In my head, I initially think of red being warmer because I associate it with things that are literally hot moreso than yellow.
But I've also learned about color theory in regards to makeup and fashion and people's undertones…in that context, yellow is definitely warmer and red almost functions as a neutral. Like people with a lot of pink in their skin are considered cool-toned vs people with a lot of yellow are warm-toned. If you wanted to warm up someone's skin/makeup, you'd add yellow. You'd add blue to cool it down. But red is a little tricky in that regard. A lot of red in the skin doesn't automatically read as warm, but it can in clothing and makeup if it's a very warm red…aka a red with more yellow in it.
Sooo I guess it depends on the context? If I had to pick, I'd go with yellow as a final answer though lol
Thought the yellow in this pic

The highs and lows of the relationship are severe enough to spike and tank your brain chemistry over time making you addicted to them similar to a drug and over time as their behavior gets normalized and through a combination of manipulation and gaslighting people who previously were not as manipulative as the PwNPD to become such to get the high again. This done by love bombing spiking your dopamine and oxytocin for a period of time and then rapidly taking it away with no warning causing you to crash hormone and chemically making you easier to push for whatever they want.

>>1248108On second thought, I think you may actually be right about yellow being more neutral than red. After googling it, I found various answers about whether red or yellow is warmer. A lot of them said it's subjective, depending on what your warmest point on the color wheel is and other colors' proximity to that point. But I read another source spelling it out in that yellow becomes warmer as it approaches red. Red does not get cooler on the yellow side until it is no longer red (not quite sure what that means lol).
But what was interesting to me is that they said orange gets warmer as it approaches red but cooler as it approaches yellow, making yellow more neutral. This kind of broke my brain because I'm used to viewing it through the lens of fashion and skin undertones that I was immediately like…no??? My brain looks at the oranges in picrel and thinks the yellower orange is clearly "warmer" but now I'm not so sure that's true. Maybe in the context of styling someone in flattering colors but not necessarily in a painting.
This other guy graphed it on a wheel with red being absolutely warm at 0 and cyan being absolutely cool at 180. And while psychologically I can't help but view the darker blue as "cooler" than cyan, the halfway split between warm and cool makes a lot more sense with cyan and red at opposite ends rather than yellow and blue.
I can't believe I'm getting so into this but now I'm genuinely wondering. I guess warm and cool are arbitrary descriptors since they're describing a feeling that the color conveys rather than any actual quantifiable property of the color itself. It's just weird and interesting to me lol
No. 1248203
>>1248117Not literally, just perceptively. No way you don't perceive blue as cold
>>1248148>But what was interesting to me is that they said orange gets warmer as it approaches red but cooler as it approaches yellow, making yellow more neutral.is pic related? because if so it goes against the very claim they're making. That cold orange is clearly leaning RED in it and the warm orange is leaning YELLOW.
I can actually see how the cyan is cooler than the darker blue though, but maybe it really has to do with like they say and it's subjective. I would still graph coolest at darker blue and warmest at orange, which makes sense since there's no vagueness as to what blue is and orange is the opposite and halfway point between red and yellow. Maybe an easy way to tell which is warmer would be through contrast? but that would require agreement on what end of the spectrum between white and black warm/cool would be in. Personally I associate warmth with brightness, but not all the time. I should stop before I have an aneurysm.
This whole discussion has made me really hate red and yellow too lol

If this developed due to consuming yaoi it seems more like it can go away, but personally I don't think most fetishes developed can truly ever dissipate unless something drastic happens. I developed a fetish in childhood so high level of sexual obsession is something I get. Thinking of it as similar to intrusive thoughts, where you no longer shame yourself for them but don't indulge in them if you believe it's unhealthy or goes against your beliefs. If I were talking to a male crossdresser I would tell him to never wear feminine or clothes marketed towards women in public out of respect for other people. But in your case, I'd say start to focus not on yourself but what you find attractive in a partner. Maybe get rid of or cover mirrors so you stop obsessing over your appearance.
>I know that's fine, the problem is that I also feel kinda turned on wearing clothes that I think look hot on men.>Or is being turned on by yourself wearing what you think is attractive normal?Other women feel this when they wear lingerie, etc. It's common because we are socialized to internalize male gaze and sexualize our own bodies and get turned on by them.

Like I already said several times, I don't want to be a gay man anymore. To clarify, I am 100% comfortable being a slightly masculine woman who is attracted to men, but also I get a bit aroused when wearing masculine/GNC outfits (doesn't mean that I want to be male), which is what I'm asking about.
It seems that the appropriate term would be "autosexual"? Or maybe it's a fetish for certain styles of clothing. Or both.
>If this developed due to consuming yaoi it seems more like it can go away, but personally I don't think most fetishes developed can truly ever dissipate unless something drastic happens. I developed a fetish in childhood so high level of sexual obsession is something I get.Yeah, I don't think it entirely comes from my fujo phase, because I've always been tomboyish, since childhood. Maybe that just made it easier to develop this paraphilia or whatever this is. Porn addiction (which I've been getting over in the last year or so) obviously contributed too.
>But in your case, I'd say start to focus not on yourself but what you find attractive in a partner.The problem is that a lot of features/clothing I like in other people (both men and women) I find attractive in myself as well.
>Other women feel this when they wear lingerie, etc. It's common because we are socialized to internalize male gaze and sexualize our own bodies and get turned on by them.Funny enough, when I see myself in feminine clothing, I just find it aesthetically pleasing in a non-sexual way, and women in dresses are just really pretty, but that's it. I do find women with a tomboyish look attractive.

>I'll get help ASAP because I get a lot of anxiety from these thoughts even though it doesn't really affect my lifeI wish you well navigating discussing this with a therapist. You might benefit from reading more about fetishes (in women) and their development, etc. before talking to anyone so you can gear your therapist to what help you specifically need. I don't think what you feel is meaningfully similar to AGP, but maybe reading more from Blanchard could be a start. Make it clear your focus is not the sexual interest itself, but your anxiety around it. I used to feel a lot of shame around my fetish, but now sure I see it as cringy but I know it isn't some defining feature and I can engage in it or not depending on if I think it is healthy.
>It seems that the appropriate term would be "autosexual"? Or maybe it's a fetish for certain styles of clothing. Or bothBlanchard uses the term "erotic target location error" regarding AGP but I don't think that applies to you. A fetish/paraphilia implies it is very difficult or not possible to get off without it.
>The problem is that a lot of features/clothing I like in other people (both men and women) I find attractive in myself as well.It's fine this is the case, to want a partner with similar aesthetics, but what I am saying is when you fantasize don't focus on what you think you'd wear or what you'd look like. Think about a partner's body and look that you'd be seeing, and how you would feel rather than how you look like.

>>1250773>>1250841Although
generally if a game has Win10 as a requirement that means that the developers are sure that it can't run on Win7, there are exceptions and it depends on the game.
A lot of software gets its minimum requirements changed by the devs whenever a new Windows becomes standard, because they'll start developing the program on the new OS and not the old one, but it doesn't
always mean that it can't run on the older OS at all. As long as your computer meets the other requirements (
especially having a 64-bit CPU and a 64-bit version of your OS as opposed to 32-bit, otherwise 64-bit software will definitely not run on your PC) you can try installing your game to see if it still runs on Windows 7. It might run flawlessly, run with some glitches, run partially, or not at all. There are other components that are not available on Win7, like DirectX 12, which is required for many newer games.
What game is it? And apparently it's possible to download older builds of games on Steam, so if you have this game on Steam, you could still play it even if the new version doesn't work on your laptop after all.

Gonna sound a bit sociopathic here but how do you make yourself view relationships, and social interactions in general, less like transactions?

>>1251055here's a peaking guide kek
I like to lightly peak people by pointing out some bad aspects of the trans community while pretending they're not really trans. You can't be too direct with these people or you'll scare them away completely.
1. I begin with pointing out some super obvious fetishistic AGPs and how they're not "real" trans people and are just giving "real" trans people a bad name. Make sure to add things "right?/don't you agree?" so they have too literally confirm it to themselves. It's super easy to get handmaidens to agree when you angle it as protecting REAL trans people from these fetishists who give trans people a bad name.
2. After that, share and rant more about AGPs here and there. (Don't do it too much though, don't act like you're obsessed) Point out that these "fake trans" people are misogynistic/pedo/sexist/violent, and again make sure to stress it's "unlike REAL trans people" until they seem to feel fully comfortable criticizing these people with you. It's usually easy to use "being trans not a fetish" in your favor when these people literally treat it as a fetish.
3. After they're used to dunking on the obvious AGPs, move on to occasionally pointing out trans people who are "just" sexist/misogynistic. Use phrases such as "a real woman (cis OR trans) would obviously never say/act misogynistic like this". The end goal is to get them to start spotting when trans people are misogynistic, under the guise that they are JUST spotting the "fakers"/AGPS, but in reality they'll end up noticing this is how 99% of them act.
Some key things to remember:
-be gentle and have patience, and don't push too much at a time.
-add lots of phrases that forces them to reply with an opinion (a real trans woman wouldn't say this, right? Isn't this fucked up? This just makes real trans people look bad, isn't that unfair? Don't you agree?) Just a "yes" is good enough of a reply, they just have to affirm the thought to themselves.
-if/when they bring up trans people directly to you, such as "look at these brave and stunning transwomen", simply shortly agree and then immediately change the topic to something different. They can't argue against you when you're already agreeing, but you don't let them get all that saviour complex dopamine by ending the conversation before it begins. ("yeah that's cool/fucked up. hey did you see this cool new game?? i'm thinking of buying it what do you think?")
-praise them lots for unrelated things (but be real and honest lol). They'll be more inclined to agree with someone they like and who tells them nice things, and they'll have less of a need for that savior complex dopamine when they get direct compliments and praise from elsewhere.

>>1251829I don’t recommend eating just one meal a day. Here’s why:
1. It’s difficult to meet all your nutritional needs in one meal, such as calories and vitamins.
2. It’ll most likely be physically uncomfortable. You’ll probably be starving during the fasting window and absolutely STUFFED during the eating window.
3. You could potentially lose the skill of eating intuitively because you’d be ignoring your hunger and fullness cues.
4. You’ll obsess about food all day. You’ll constantly think about what, how much, and when you’ll eat. Having food on your mind all day is not fun.
5. It could lead to disordered eating (or a full on eating disorder,) like binging, because you’re ignoring your hunger signals.
6. It’s not sustainable. I have yet to hear about a person doing this for the rest of their life, let alone a few years (or even months.) Ask yourself, do you really think you could keep this up permanently?
7. It could ruin your social life. You’ll avoid events that include food or social dinners/lunches/breakfasts because you’re following OMAD. You’ll also probably be hangry, so nobody’s gonna want to socialise with you.
Nonnie, I don’t know what your goal is, but OMAD is too risky. If you want to lose weight, just follow CICO. If you’re aiming for health, find another way to become healthier, like cardio or meditation. OMAD just isn’t it.

>You're not starving just because you're not eating every 3-4 hours, the meal from the evening before doesn't disappear from your stomach first thing in the morningLet’s say they eat around 6-7 pm. They go to sleep 12 and wake up 9. From morning to evening, they have to endure nine hours without eating. I’d say they feel hungry for a big chunk of that time (maybe 7 hours, or even 8 hours since some people wake up and feel hungry soon despite eating a large meal) Do you really think the average person could go with no eating for that long and not feel hungry?
>Most people already don't eat intuitively and don't eat on hunger cues because we eat at set timesYou’re right about the hunger part, but fitting an entire day’s worth of food into one sitting could habituate that person into ignoring their fullness cues. This isn’t great because it could lead to overeating in the future.
>Or you could experience the opposite: a freeing feeling because you don't have to think about food all day, there's plenty of OMAD practioners who feel this wayThat is a possibility, but I’d say my point still stands.

My friend is a miserable woman. She is obese and at age of 28 she is still obsessed with her body and self-esteem. The reason why she hates herself so much is she got bullied for being obese during middle school, and it stayed with her. Her father with who she never talks now always bullied her aswell. I wonder if there is any book that would explain to her that it's okay to have different body. She is so obsessed with herself that she ends up being toxic and jealous of other women around her, while seeking attention from any man on the internet. She become so desperate that shortly after being dumped she started edating a coomer incel 4 years younger than her. She never wants to really listen to me because she believes that I had my life easy, when in fact she is the one who had it easier than me, but I do not and will never talk about my experiences. The question is

Abusive people who already lie and manipulate like he did run the risk of always making bitter phone calls or interfering through any means he can reach her well into the future. Family members, jobs, finding her new address. It's not always over once you're out the door. Just my opninon, don't poke an emotionally stunted bear. They don't learn that way.

i am typically very aloof and reserved, but told a woman-beating piece of shit to legitimately commit suicide and remove himself from the earth for being a subhuman. i don’t really allow myself to lose it or get involved in other people’s business like that.
my friend ended up going back to him, and i can only imagine all of the other people expressing their utter disgust and contempt for him, and how that compounded and complicated the
abusive dynamic she found herself back inside of.
she began to isolate herself from everyone and was not allowed to speak to me.
tread carefully, focus that anger and disgust on supporting and uplifting and protecting your friend. don’t waste the energy on some loser you don’t want to maintain a relationship with. prioritize the relationship with your friend, and making her feel that her support network is really solid and safe.

I wasn't close with him at that time but we got a bit closer after he and my friend started dating because we realized we faced a lot of similar struggles during college and we had grown from them. Well, I had, he clearly didn't. I hope my friend won't return to him. She is depressed and shit (not related to him) but will be moving in with her brother and his girlfriend, so I hope that will be good and grounding for her.
Also, the scrote told me he's already talking to another girl. I wish I could find her and warn her but he cut out her name in the screenshots he sent me of their chat. If he doesn't go full psycho and stalk my friend I worry he'd just take his anger out on this poor girl.

>>1255482most americans eat dinner in front of the TV (or now it's ipads or whatever shit) and they often sit on a couch or everyone goes off to take their plate wherever else. So they only eat dinner at a table without the TV on during holidays. In the same way that americans make a big deal out of "fresh herbs" because they actually almost never use them, even though they cost fifty cents, even though that's just called normal food in every other country on the planet. american families are really fucked up and I wish europeans would call it out more often, because we grew up thinking this shit was normal when it's actually incredibly dysfunctional and pathological. also in most US households they use the dining table as a random crap storage surface. Even in normal non-hoarder houses most people don't see the surface of the dining table except christmas and easter. you can't really eat at the dining table, because everyone tosses random junk there. so everyone makes their plate and takes it off to their own room or the couch or wherever. and maybe they bring the dirty dishes back, maybe they don't. often they just leave the half eaten food laying around for a few days until "cleaning day" where the mother goes through the house and picks up all the trash, dishes, dirty clothes, etc laying on the floor.
you think that sounds disgusting but i've seen at least 5 households operate on this basis so it isn't me.

No. 1256907
>>1256577I think outlining your story and filling it in that way is the easiest way. Once you have a very certain idea of what’s happening you can hit the important plot points and it grows out from there. It doesn't have to be a very strict process, like I wrote a short story by writing the main scenes first which were were occurring over a span of two days. Those kind of parameters and the pov already give some structure, and the conflict is like the life force. The plot and pov are very interconnected, which is something I never realized because I would always separate the two making everything too sterile. Its possible you don’t have this problem but I found it interesting. Anyways, the conflict is important because it keeps you from veering off too much. It sounds obvious but its easy to take for granted.
I did take a creative writing class recently and I noticed that with a previous story of mine it was just like a soggy noodle in story form because I only had a character and certain images in mind but nothing that glued all that together. When we had to write a short story manuscript I had to have a concrete conflict, and my prof really stressed it. I found myself writing in a completely different way. It was still my same diction but, I don’t know, its hard to explain, it was like I switched into a different mode of processing and writing. You already have 35,000 words and I don't know how to revise that much/comb through to restructure it. Im sorry that was kinda your whole question nonna but I wanna help you still. Its possible that you could rewrite key points of the plot, and take what you have written and move it around. Maybe you could tell the story non-chronologically, which could make moving parts around and creating a new conflict easier

Sorry for the shit picture but this is like all that came up when I searched hip dips.
Anyway my question is how the fuck do I measure my hips? Like where is the right area to start from? I have narrow set hips with dips and have an unfortunate inverted triangle body type, but an ass that sticks out a bit so whenever I try to measure I feel that throws it off. Do I measure at the dips or the area above that where my waist ends??

No. 1258451
>>1258414You could see the brown and poop on the brush in muh kitchen. My roomie is autistic and I’m tired of cleaning up after her or when she breaks stuff. So for once I asked her to get rid of the brush she broke because I was tired of cleaning too much and I bought the third new brush she broke. Then she got rid of it in the kitchen disposal. I don’t care about the toilet bin but the kitchen has become sacred to me ever since I cook for a hobby. Guess why we have an ants and fly infestation now.
>>1258405Well she is a messy unhygienic person. And she does not care about recycling kek. But that’s her issue not mine, I do recycle and it’s my business that I do so. I just find it odd that she dresses like a hippie. Barefooted in public and all.
The issue is the spreading of ecoli, attracting insects etc..
Well if I live alone, I’d put everything in one bin, a recycled plastic supermarket bag, and throw it away immediately outside in the underground container twice a day DAILY. In the morning and evening. Oh the clean house dream.. But the reason why I’d not see poop, blood of humans in the bin of muh kitchen, is because I share germs and viruses with an autist and I like to keep my food and the house I rent partly clean. Or at least pest free.

>>1258576We have. It’s full of her menstrual pads. The bag she then disposes in the kitchen bin. She has no job, life. So I would imagine she has enough time to clean up after herself and the messes she makes.
To answer you, we have no sink in the toilet hall but we have one in the bathroom. The distance between them is about the same. But I think tbh it may be a cultural thing. Regardless this fat mentally ill autistic pig should respect my culture and pet peeves/tism too, as I have been respecting her. The toilet brush with poo in my damn kitchen paradise i created and keep clean is just too much.

Do you believe people can really change? And I mean big, drastic changes from consciously chosen life paths, like IDK, from animal hater to animal activist or from being very career oriented to fully family focused something like that?

>>1258743The only time I've ever known people to change that dramatically is when they've hit some kind of rock bottom and have to change their lives in order to live a good life (or sometimes just live at all). But the second they become complacent or take their changes for granted they're right back to old habits. If they have any sort of social or monetary gain from their journey, know that as soon as they lose their asspats or compensation they'll reveal just how little they've actually changed.
The only people I've known who maintain drastic life changes are the ones who always strive for improvement and never drop their humility. Everyone else ime has proven their sus.

Have any of my pear-shaped nonnies tried these elastic belt things? Pants that fit my legs are always too big around my waist, and I’m tired of wearing a belt that’s visible through tighter shirts. Also to get a belt tight enough to keep my pants up means it cuts in under my ribs when I sit down, so the elastic seems nice. Other general advice on modding jeans to fit a narrow waist better would be appreciated.

I then got an appt for a hospital to have a colposcopy, they get a better look at the cervix during that but it feels about the same as just getting another smear but in a hospital with more staff.

If you have a gynecologist and get your annual exam can't you just ask for it when you're getting that done?

It's entirely public service based and not really something people tend to do on demand so much.
The goverment determines that 25 is old enough for the risk to be worth the tax money that it costs so you just go whenever the health system tells you to go. They remind you every few years to come get your next free screening then. I had 'squamous cell changes' at 25 and I've happily gone along with every appt since to keep and eye on that shit. I had a bunch of appts the firts year. Then they got spaced out more. It's handy to have a free service that looks after you like that. I lost my mom to undetected cancer.

>>1263048In true crime shows I've watched, all the pedo murderers who fixated on little boys had wives and kids. That said, they were boomers and it was rare for someone to be openly gay in those days. So idk I know it doesn't answer your question fully but from what I gather their gender preference for abusing kids means fuck all when it comes to their beard relationship. At the end of the day it's all a cover for evil scrotes to get closer to kids to abuse. And now that I think of it it's probably easier for them to trick women into marrying them than having a gay relationship because most people tend to trust women more when it comes to watching over their kids. Assuming they aren't exclusively abusing their own kids, having a wife means easier access to child
victims. For whatever it's worth in those shows some of the pedos had no preference for girls or boys and abused whoever based on convenience of access to the child, whether it be spotting a child alone in public and kidnapping them, or having the opportunity to babysit or tutor or coach them or something like that. I don't think you'd really call them bisexual if they abuse girls and boys, because they're disgusting degenerates who get off on sexual torture of a child. It's kind of a moot point to try and categorize them into a normal spectrum of sexual preference.

If you have an ED, my advice would be to stop seeking male validation and put your body first over people's perception of it, get a sense of self-worth, learn how to cook, and read feminist lit.
If you're naturally skinny though, learn to be fine with it FIRST, then start gaining weight if you want to (given that you didn't become this way bc of an ed). You can't hate yourself out of a body you're stuck with until you die.

Even if you don't actively view then as Asian, their race difference makes it harder for whites to empathize with them, just like how they fail to empathize with Muslims.

>>1263528Idk about probiotics in pill form but yoghurt and kefir cultures are awesome for lactose intolerant people like me.
Whether you need it really depends on your culture's diet, on your own body etc. I drink yoghurt every day here and I crave it, however when I lived in equatorial Africa I didn't, but my whole diet was vastly different.

>>1263709I forgot to add that when you use a cold compress and a hot one don't put it so that it has direct contact with your skin, either wear some loose pjs that covers your calves or drape a hand towel over your the area before using the compress. pic for attention

>>1263777NTA but while I do support you using your husbando for emotional support while you're alone (because it does help cope with loneliness, otherwise you might feel like you're going insane), it shouldn't completely replace real-life human relationships so I advise you to be open to the idea of forming friendships and accepting people into your life when the opportunity comes. Also it can't be good for you to give
too much importance to fanart and fanfic. They're just files on the internet and just like family and friend photos, they can be lost forever all of a sudden so it's not healthy to get overly attached to them.
