anger? or wrath or whatever, if i decide to catch up on the news stories thread and some other stuff on the farms i can't sleep because i'm just stewing thinking about how badly i want to be a homme-cidalist in minecraft of course.

What is this black square favicon supposed to mean? I see it a lot in artist portfolios.

>>2512780
IIRC it means it's hosted on squarespace

Thanks!

It's alright, i'm beyond saving as i'm a reddit atheist who will be trapped in the cycle of rebirth or whatever spiritual equivalent(s) exist.

Get some earplugs for a few weeks, not like this is a life sentence.

I think my first two tattoos are ugly and cringy too. And they're on my arms and rather large too, fml. I plan on getting more tats to distract from them as well. It's funny cause they were carefully thought about and planned, while none of my other tats were and still I like my other tats more.

its been over two decades ago but im still pissed about my 7th birthday at chuckie cheese. my family told me to go play, then they lit the cake candles, blew them out, and then cut the cake without me. like you put a kid in a playground and then punish them for playing by doing all the birthday events without them because you bored fat bitches can't wait for a kid to sit down?? by the time i got back to the table all the cake was gone. what was the point of taking me on my birthday if you were just going to do the birthday shit without me?? it made me feel like actual trash. like what the fuck. i was a trivial element at my own birthday. i didn't try asking for birthday parties after that.

my mother still does shit like this too, and then she wonders why I never call her.

>>2512776
I'd still be pissed too, they were straight up psycho for that.

Romania doesn’t have the best human rights record so maybe GTFO while you still can.

Do you have any YouTubers that you can recommend watching? Anything goes really

I wish westerners would stop grouping us in with other europeans. Like no my country didnt colonize anybody if anything its the opposite. My country was ravaged and enslaved by foreign forces for its entire history

Yeah but the farts…the worst stinkiest farts…

I dunno about proper ee countries, but those fags seem to be referring mostly to russia when they talk about it being trad. And Russia is not trad, everything trad in it have been burned to the ground 110 years ago. The image of women there being submissive is absurd regardless. Russia has one of the highest rates of divorce in the world. The understanding of "family values" is COMPLETELY absent from russian culture in general, it is actually more woke to care for and love your family than the other way around. So retarded westoids have like 0 fucking clue. I have legit not once in my life seen a happy famiy here, its all shitshow, a poo throwing contest. Average americanoid would probably kill himself if he had to grow up in this "beautiful trad family" slav-style.

Its is not offensive to say so because no one hates ukrainian men more than ukrainian women.

I used to buy Aerie, but they've definitely gone to shit. I bought a lot of Intimissimi (idk how to spell it) underwear last year on Black Friday sale, and I really love them so far. I got a couple pairs in different styles in red and black (period safe colors kek) they're all cotton and really cute/flattering! Very comfortable and have held up great so far. I even got a pair that works well as a no show, and it's all cotton. Not that creepy material that's usually used for no show underwear. I know I haven't had them for a year yet but still.

Much more than parasitic birds I hate birds that kill their own babies or a baby bird that kills it's siblings because "lack of food". Absolute clownery. Saw a video of storks doing this in our local lake district. Motherfuckers were surrounded by lakes with fish and frogs but they still let the other chick die.

omg she hasn’t even finished growing her first plumage in this photo, you’re literally bullying a child…

>>2512720
some birds (like cuckoos & cowbirds) are obligate brood parasites, which means they straight-up cannot raise their own young and have to dump the eggs on another species. but lots of other species do it sometimes, even though they’re capable of raising their own kids! (including a number of duck species. ducks are the actual fucking worst)

>>2512729
smh they’re icterids, not finches. cowbird haters are not sending their best

>>2512738
Cowbird shills are not sending their best, why is that every other birds problem that they can’t raise their own.

I'm glad to see other anons lamenting this. I miss the cute all-cotton styles Aerie had when I was much younger. The few I have from back then are only now starting to fall apart. They've held up for 10 years! The colors aren't even faded. The patterns were cute and there weren't many stupid phrases or ugly color combinations. I can't even find pictures of the ones I liked the most. Hopefully picrel is of an all-cotton version.

In 2019(?) and 2022 I ordered more underwear from Aerie during their Black Friday sales. Some I already am on the verge of throwing out. Pilling, faded, loose strings, uncomfortable, ugly. Even the underwear that looks similar to the old styles is different - and iirc I had the choice of plain black or plain brown-poo color. wtf Aerie. idk why they stopped making underwear how they used to, because a lot of teenagers and women alike loved that brand.

Hey same here, I even thought maybe it was normal and they were just trying to seem relatable (why would they) but at some point it would carry on for like half of the appointment, not normal.

>People who say that therapy helped them had such easy problems that they were easily fixed by talking to someone a little.
Yes I agree. Sometimes just doing therapy isn't enough. Unfortunately sometimes you need to get more help to truly get better, maybe you need medication or something like a specialized professional.

I've doing CBT for a while and even then, the "evidence based cure-it-all" isn't doing much for me. Why? Because they see everything as just a behavioral problem you can fix if you try hard enough. Ok, I'm trying to fix my behavior, and I see my short comings as a character flaw. But what about the times when I can't control the things happening inside my head? The anger, the confusion, the memories that hurt? I don't want to stay like this, I'm tired of my own shit too. Been thinking of switching to ACT since at least that one confronts you with the reality that suffering is part of the human experience.

I really need to go to therapy for my anxiety disorder but I've been putting it off terribly badly. I also have ADHD so when it comes to scheduling an appointment I just can't be bothered. I haven't been to therapy since I was 16 where I was stuck with some reassuring stacey who just talked to me like I was her daughter. She talked about her son a bunch too as a way to seem relatable but I did not care about that moid at all. One of my friends went to the same therapist and dropped her so I dropped her too. Now I just therapize myself and it kind of works. I think that the fundamentals of creating coping mechanisms is just something you can do yourself if you know enough about it. At least for mild mental disorders or ones where you're not delusional. But my anxiety continues to spiral out of control, I need a therapist who will beat the shit out of me and actually get in my head. My anxiety is very good at rationalizing itself deeper and deeper into my brain to the point where surface level reassurances don't do anything for it at all. I want a therapist who specializes in CBT or maybe ERP.

I hate when people say that moids need therapy. No they don’t, at worst it will assure them that they are victims and they learn to use therapy speak to abuse other people even more.

Be cautious with ACT, all therapists these days use mindfulness tactics and think they are the solution to everything. After my burnout (because I was basically doing 2,5 people’s work) I was sent to therapy by HR and I got a bunch of mindfulness books recommended to me as if the issue was with the way I was perceiving things.

I don't understand why faggots can't just go back to sucking fat smegma cock at the local glory hole instead of whining about first world problems.

I don't understand how certain midwits can't help but openly yet indirectly reply to other anons in the GIOYC thread or make snarky comments without reading the thread description and posting here like an unabashed vain bitch. It seems like the thought that "it's not about you, vain bitch" never crosses their minds. I'm in awe of their lack of observance of the thread rules. I mean it as a compliment, though. How freeing it must be to not care how arrogant and butthurt you appear to the world, to be able to feel clever and vindicated about your little quip without carrying the burden of reading comprehension. I wonder what gives them that power. I envy them.

Stop defending shit in the mental disorders hate thread. All of you are hit dogs and that's why you're hollering. If it don't apply, let it fly. Damn.

vegan sperging ahead. I watched some random video of Bella Ramsay and she was asked if she is vegan and she said she is "kind of" vegan but she eats eggs…. Why can't she just call herself a vegetarian then? Why would she ever even refer to herself as a vegan at all? Is it just because she gets a smug satisfaction from being able to call herself a vegan, like she calls herself nonbinary? And then she said she eats eggs because she needs to be strong for her roles and this bitch is one of THE weakest looking people I've ever seen in my life like I DOUBT she's ever held a single dumbbell in her entire life wtf did the eggs even do for her? potato faced retard

Dont get me wrong she is a terrible person but you guys aren’t exactly pleasant either kek, I wouldn’t be surprised if you guys are also users

I put rice bran oil on my face after showering last night and wow, my skin feels so much more intact. Now I don't need to slather expensive moisturizer on 5x a day and it's never enough. My dry skin would just eat that shit up, turns out it was damaged from being dried up like a prune after showering. On the flip side I'm puffy now but oh well, it's peak pollen season so that might be the culprit.

>>2512361
congrats noonie, that's a big milestone.

>>2512361
this happened to me too, feels like growing up more than any other milestone i've passed

I went to the gym, washed my hair and only today I noticed how long it takes me to do my whole hair and skincare "routine" it's not really a routine because I honestly almost apply whatever I have around:
>apply hyaluronic acid oil on hair
>apply leave-in conditioner
>apply cream on my scalp for my seborrheic dermatitis
>wash face with face soap
>apply tonic
>apply rose water
>face cream
>lip oil
>Shea butter oil on feet
>body cream
Jesus, no wonder I only have the energy to do this once or twice a week if I'm in a good mood or if my skin desperately demands me to take care of it.

Ate a pita pocket and looked at two of my personal cows shitposting.

>>2512565
Oh ok sonic. So should I just fucking kill myself kek?

>>2512564
Should I

Should I join the ranks

Should I be more sociable

will things actually get better

It's actually sad that so many zoomers can't pick up on the most obvious editing and then get rage-baited by it.

I fell down a rabbit hole learning about 'shtwt' and it's really so nauseating

>>2512628
Whever I hear shtwt I think of that tif who cut her breast off

>>2512589
Its not even just zoomers i see people of all ages have no clue

>you can't deny that there's a core difference in how autism manifests itself in girls and boys,
Except that I can deny it and I do deny it.

>>2512599
KEK for fucking real. Always unwanted, always unasked for, always annoying.

>>2512603
"um no everything you just said is false" is not an argument

>>2512608
I'm not arguing. Like I said, autists always try to turn everything into a debate for no real reason. If you weren't autistic, you'd realize that the "um no everything you said is false" critique also applies to your diatribe. Look at what thread you're in.

>>2512610
I'm not the anon you were replying to earlier but ok!

So, I'm in a support group for victims of BPD abuse and today I made both a funny and terrible discovery about a bpd cycle: the new life after discard.
When my bippie moid and I fought, he would always came back with new friends and hobbies, only to discard them once the wounds of the fight healed and then the cycle was repeated again and again. I cannot count the times that after a fight and weeks long silent treatment, he started hoovering me with some new friend bullshit story and that he was going out a lot in the time span that we didn't talk: they are quite literally retarded emotionally. Yeah no shit but they can't see the consequences of their own actions so if they idealize you and you're both their source of pain and comfort, where comfort is their automatic response and pain is something they feel the need to come up with because they associate pain with love like a retarded pavlov dog, when they fight with you, they realize later that they lost their source of comfort so they search that comfort anywhere only to discard them when you're back. Their basic human needs require comfort but their disorder tells them that you're a fucking demon, and they're so emotionally retarded that they cannot make the two things coexists and develop in a way where they see the nuance, it depends on which part of their brain they decide to go along with. They might be emotionally stunted but I believe that a some point you also have to be intellectually mature enough to realize the damages and that's where they totally lose me. I usually try to empathize with people who have disorders but being a bippie means being totally blind ot the cause-effect principle and if I wanted to argue with toddlers, I would work in a kindergarten, not get in a relationship with one but just because they're immature, doesn't mean that they're not dangerous. I know a couple of people that committed suicide (two women - married and engaged) due to the stress that those moids made them feel, one of the two developed heart problems because her heart rate was so unstable and I know that one went impatient in a ward for at least five years because the bippie moid she was with, when she went back to live with her mother, would blackmail her with bullshit stuff like "I cannot live without you!" and cut himself in front of her front door.
