Ho fatto un paio di ricerche in pausa pranzo per noia e ho trovato un subreddit di uomini che si chiamano Luna. Si creano gli stereotipi da soli, sono dei geni. https://www.reddit.com/r/transfemmesnamedluna/
Hanno rotto il cazzo per tanti anni con Karen, finalmente c'è un corrispettivo, mi dispiace solo che sia un nome così carino ma lo vedo come il loro personale cartellino rosso per evitarlo, d'ora in poi me ne guarderò altamente dalle varie "Luna" online

Borderline stupro ma rendiamolo woke. I TRAs fanno paura.
Dirlo alla persona che si sta frequentando è il minimo indispensabile, anche quando si tratta di un rapporto occasionale almeno secondo me, ma si aprirebbe un discorso diverso.
Tutti questi discorsi del cazzo li fanno perché sono consapevoli che molte persone normali, che non sono ritardati come loro, non perderebbe tempo sin dall’inizio. Poi rido perché la maggior parte dei TRAs stessi, a meno che non siano gendies, non hanno come prima scelta i travestiti kek.

My mom is such a killjoy, you can not tell her anything without her adding something negative, like I excitedly told her I was going to see my favorite band live 3 times this year and she went "isn't the show the same all the time though?". Who cares, the band probably won't exist anymore in the next 5 years because the leader is a turbo boomer, I'm trying to see them as much as possible before they quit. I also mentioned I was getting a new tattoo in blackwork next week and ofc she said "yeah black is better because it's the easiest color to laser off", why the hell would you say that about a tattoo I don't even have yet? I don't think she even does it purposefully, she is naturally negative about things she doesn't understand.

what does it mean when you're only conversational when you're drunk kek do i have some kind of mental block preventing me from talking to people when im sober

No. 2451923

>>2446253
The short answer is yes. The long answer is that maybe you don't really get along with them and while you're drunk you let their shit slide. Or maybe you are just shy. Idk I don't know you, but there are various reasons of why someone wouldn't be that talkative.

Today's day drinking excuse is that I've finished an entry course for uni. So I only have to study for an exam and have plenty of free days. Also I want to have a drunk nap. Drunk naps are objectively superior because we don't rest properly, so we half recharge and we can still sleep early at night lol. Also if I think a lot about my crush before I fall asleep there are high chances I dream about her and I really need to hug her right now.

I love your list!
>Get as much things done as possible… just do as much as possible instead of going directly to the couch and scrolling. It will be 10 times harder to get up afterwards.
I read a tumblr post or something years ago that summarized this sentiment as “Don’t sit down, it’s a trap.” Sometimes I repeat that to myself to prevent me from couch and bed rotting. Similarly, the foreboding obelisks in picrel have been a good reminder for me. The quote is fine too.

The biggest change I have tried to make is replace my scrolling habit before bed with reading a book. Instead I catch up on my cows over my morning coffee. It’s a work in progress and I am not totally successful, but it’s a start.

Does anyone have any advice on how to reclaim your sexuality? And I'm not talking about trying to look hot in preparation to get fucked by men. Frankly I'm done with that shit. But my abusive ex did everything he could to make me feel asexual, ugly, unsexy, undesirable. He used porn as a way to neg my self esteem and make me feel like I wasn't good enough to arouse any man. I know that's BS because I don't struggle getting attention from men or bfs, but he really knocked my self esteem down. I went from being outgoing, bubbly, confident and happy, to miserable, hiding myself and my body all the time, trying to dull my outfits and dress as boringly and asexually as possible, not wearing makeup etc. I used to love wearing nice clothes and makeup for myself, he made me not even want to pick up an eyeliner. I miss who I was before meeting him. Is there any quick way to feel attractive and beautiful again?

I have had the same issues because of sexual traumas. Honestly there's no quick fix, you have to accept that he has done a lot of damage to you and it will take time to build that up. But it should be your top priority to build your self-worth back and love yourself. This is your root issue and things like not wanting to dress up, being shy, losing libido are only symptoms. Also, lacking self-worth puts you at risk of being abused once again.

The easiest thing I did to fix that issue seems kinda silly but it worked quickly : I just told myself things like "I love myself, I look good, I feel good, I'm confident, I feel grateful" while staring at myself in the mirror, atleast once a day. After a week or two my brain automatically spurs positive thoughts when seeing my reflection, instead of the usual "I look tired today, I have a huge pimple, I don't even wan't to go out". In the same vein, when I'm anxious before a social interaction, I'll repeat in my heads encouraging things like "I'm a confident, nice person, and others enjoy my company". It may sound stupid but you probably already do this with negative thoughts, and those negative thoughts have shaped your perception of yourself with enough repetition and time - the goal is to reverse that process.

Pair that with something more engaging but that you won't regret: find a sport you like, yoga, going to the gym, running, stretching or whatever. Something that will make you feel great in your body and proud of yourself. Really stick with something, even if it's just a few minutes a day. It's not an instant fix but just a month of daily activity will make you feel better about yourself, guaranteed.

Just take care of yourself in general, body and mind. Say nice things to yourself. Act like you're a mom taking care of an hurt child, so be gentle and patient with yourself. Change will come in time but you will not go back to who you were before, you'll be an even stronger and better version of yourself. This guy doesn't hold any power over you anymore, you have the power and will to grow out of this and reclaim your love back. Good luck nona, I believe in you.

I'm starting a new job in a few days and I'm nervous as hell. I feel like I've become so maladjusted during my bouts of neetdom, I just forget how to have polite conversation. I'm excited to start but I'm also scared I might be too much of an autist for this. The people I had my interview with seem so nice and I doubt I'll be able to match their friendliness. I've been trying to make more conversation with people and see my friends more but I've been depressed at every job I've had (even a nice one) and I'm already scared of getting fired for it. I hope I'll be able to stock more than sit at the register but they say it can get busy so I don't know. Pray for me nonnies.

the secret of small talk is just to have questions ready to ask other people about themselves. people love talking about themselves! also, keep a list in mind (or on your phone if you need to) of stuff you did over the weekend/after work/good things you’ve been watching on TV/your hobbies etc - that way when someone is like oh so what did you do this weekend? you’ll have a vaguely interesting answer that can prompt more convo instead of just saying ‘oh nothing really, you?’. good luck! you can do this

I've officially been employed for a month and a half after being a NEET for years. I don't really like it but I like getting money in my account every week even if it's basic minimum wage.
It's still hard to think of myself as not being a NEET even though I'm working 7-4 most days. I just get there, do what I have to do, and stare at the clock till I can leave. It doesn't feel like a real job somehow. I don't know how to explain it kek but it's more like roleplaying or a video game somehow to me even though it's an actual job that's not particularly fun

Late but yes, kind of. Anxiety over accidents specifically. I eat and I can't stop thinking about my teeth slicing through my tongue. I drive on the highway and think about getting in a rollover accident. I walk down the stairs and think about falling and breaking my jaw. Cutting vegetables always makes me think about cutting my fingers off. It's all very visceral and vivid, it feels more like a "vision" than a thought. I get an almost magical thinking-y feeling like it's going to happen for sure and feel panic and doom trying to come up with a way to prevent it. It's distracting and really hard for me to focus on other things, especially because it happens on a loop until the "danger" has passed.

Never been diagnosed with OCD but I’m pretty sure I have it. I also have trichotillomania but not sure if that’s related. I’m the same with accidents/something horrible happening out of my control. Sometimes when I’m a passenger in a car, it’s like I can’t stop thinking about/seeing extremely detailed visuals of what would happen if we got into an accident (doesn’t help that my current city is known for horrible drivers and deadly accidents - lots of DUIs, tons of people running red lights and texting while driving). It’s like I can see what it looks like when the glass breaks, feeling the metal cave in around me and slicing me, what it feels like to have my head slammed with force by a huge object going 90mph, what the cops would see at the scene, what my body would look like when I’m mangled and bloody with my guts or brains out on the road, the horror of seeing my partner dead, etc. Really gory shit, it’s awful. And yes same, it’s like I feel this paranoia that because I can “see” it so clearly, it must mean that it’s real and an inevitable event or something. I’ve never been afraid of flying before, but when I was on an airplane last month, I was looking out the window and couldn’t stop thinking about the horror of a plane crash, and what the aftermath would look like - my leg ripped off somewhere in that field below, my torso partially impaled in that orchard, my skin burned, and then my partner or parents hearing the news, and then I start spiraling about the vulnerability of my body “oh god my flesh is so soft and tender, anything could happen, oh no I’m scared…” and it’s like I can physically start feeling the pain. I remember seeing horrible photos online from the aftermath of a plane crash over a city and what the locals saw on the ground, and it hadn’t left my mind, I guess. I hate it and I hate that I can’t “logic” my way out of this one. If it was a completely irrational fear that would be one thing, but the fact that “yes, I and everyone else I love will die and some in sudden, horrible ways” is really fucking with me lately.

Yeah, agreed! I’ve visited almost exclusively in the summer but I’ve also lived there for a year. You must become one with the sweat, I was always drenched. It’s terrible when you can feel the sweat and humidity condensing on your back and the droplets just running down. Bring your own deodorant because it will super hard to find some here. Also a parasol is a must, the sun can be so intense in August and September and well October too. I wore a a UV cut light hoodie from Uniqlo all the time.

>droplet of sweat down the back

My nightmare lol. once I feel it, it’s over for me. Wearing black and usually breathable fabrics like cotton is the only way for it not to “show.” I saw another guy fully drenched and you can see the staining all along the back and underarms on his clothes and I felt bad for the dude and everyone was staring at him. From that moment on, I exclusively wear cooling tanks or breathable cotton tops in black. Always my fan on me no matter what. Parasols help tremendously, just kinda annoying to walk around with one in crowded spaces. Exactly. Great tip nonna that I forgot to mention. Bring your own deodorant! The brands here have never been useful in the slightest. Also for those that wear makeup, I recommend a waterproof mascara, because it will transfer and the humidity will make it melt. you’ll look like a raccoon, but not in the cute way.

You have less than 8000k injuries/fatalities between 1959-2017 due to powerlines in Japan than the 8000k injuries/fatalities annually in the US. Yeah, it is safer. The US and some other countries go the cheapest route possible without care to the public. Japan luckily puts money into their public infrastructure.

what model of laptop do you have? i've seen this touchpad issue happen with some specific models that have trackpads from some smaller companies that require installing their drivers separately. Those kinds of non-generic special drivers sometimes break with updates.
Generally you could try something like https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-uninstall-a-windows-update-c77b8f9b-e4dc-4e9f-a803-fdec12e59fb0, it'd help you narrow down if the update was really the problem.
