Honestly there's no real reason to be OKAY with your partner doing something you don't like. You absolutely don't have to "get over it" or be okay with it. But I'm telling you that if you don't at least try to push it back in your mind or not care as much about it, it will eat you up. It was a main source of frustration for me since the start of my relationship. It was pure agony knowing that my bf could potentially be following some stupid e-thots or watching actual porn, I felt bad. But besides me being a hypocrite if I got upset, I also just rationalized that he has sex with ME. Not them. And if he wants to take a shot at a porn star, he can go ahead. You really don't need a man like that in your life anyway.
But what does that all matter if you have a good relationship, but he still watches porn and you don't think he'll stop? I still haven't figured it out besides just… not thinking about it and trying not to care about it.
BTW if it makes you feel better, I don't actually think about fucking the people that I see in porn. I'm sure there are a lot of people like that, that just like to see the act of sex or something. Like, I watch gay sex, lesbian sex, public j/o videos… I'm in a het relationship though. I just enjoy the stuff in the videos and don't necessarily imagine myself in the situation.

>>686728People with OCD struggle with uncertainty and doubt. So the main point of OCD treatment is to accept that there is a possibility and that you have to move on. You can't preform compulsions and as a result have to sit with the anxiety whatever it is that you obsess over brings. Eventually you can have a thought, recognize it's a thought and not react to it in the way you did previously.
I think maybe you just have to work on dealing with inconveniences other people cause you and recognize that it's a passing feeling. People make mistakes and maybe you'll still have grudges but you don't have to react to it.
This of course depends on what happened, like if someone abused you I think that is a very situation. However, If someone accidently threw away your lunch and you hold a heavy grudge against them then maybe you have some anger issues you need to address.

Do you guys think I might be experiencing auditory hallucinations?
Sometimes, when I'm in my kitchen using my microwave, I'll hear the ding sound of a microwave. It sounds like it's coming from my neighbours apartment, but the ding is the exact same as my own microwave and I don't hear any humming that'd indicate a microwave being used. Just the ding. I've heard it several times, always in the same context.
And sometimes, when I'm on the toilet, I'll hear the sound of a school bell? It's the sound used in anime, the one that goes like ding dong ding dooong and repeats. It sounds like it's coming from my upstairs neighbours aparment? I only hear it when I'm on the toilet and I've heard it several times. The sound is isolated just like the other one, I can't hear anyone watching anime or anything.
I live in an apartment building and the walls are really thin here, guests at my place have confirmed that you can hear people doing stuff in the neighbouring apartments. Plus the girl who lives above me does kinda look like a weeb.
However, I have been diagnosed with bipolar II. I'm not sure if I only hear the sounds when I'm manic, but if I do, it'd basically confirm that I have bipolar I instead, right? Help me anons, am I crazy? And if I am why are my hallucinations so fucking stupid istg…

Copy from the vent thread but I just want someone's opinion on my situation. I really hate my current workplace situation.
I started in September and I've been given zero training whatsoever, since September, they've just told me to call random establishments and try to sell them shit. I wasn't given a script, had no idea who to fucking call, barely even know anything about the company or the products we are selling- it's just a mess. Still, I've tried to soldier on and see if I can get any sales but it seems pointless. I also have to make random stupid marketing calls which is awful, but it is useless. Even worse than all this shit, I cannot stand my coworkers and my boss is a cunt. One of my coworkers does drugs in front of his two kids, cheats on his wife openly (they all laugh about it in the office), and always talks sexually. He's made jokes about wanting me to have an Onlyfans and when drunk, acted super weird around me. Also always tries to convince me that my boyfriend is cheating on me, even though he is really lovely towards me and I know he isn't. Yet, he always says we aren't gonna last because we are each others first, but we've been together for five years and we are fucking happy and even so, HOW IS IT YOUR BUSINESS? He always explains what weird sexual things mean to me and my boss finds it hilarious when I look uncomfortable and grossed out.
My boss is a complete fucking creep. He's been married several times, abandoned his kids, fucks prostitutes and is one of those jerks obsessed with Motorcycles. He's made jokes about me getting screwed, calls me "good girl", thinks Hugh Hefner was a great guy, blames Epstein's victims, always talks about women's appearances in SUCH a perverted way. For example, one of our colleagues who work in a different office uploaded a picture of herself on LinkedIn, and he sees that she's sent an email- so he checks out her social media profiles and starts saying shit like "awh, SHE'S fit" and "loads of make up but would" and it was so gross, she's literally 30 years younger than him. He's said I'm pretty unprovoked too and has made multiple comments about my appearance. Also, has a weird hatred over the fact my boyfriend is white, and brings it up whenever he can. Like, one time my boyfriend came to pick me up for the first time from work, and instead of my boss letting me leave, he said "I'm gonna go outside, have a cig and check out Anon's boyfriend out". I thought it was a joke until he came back in saying mean things about my boyfriend and saying "he needs to step his game up". Even then, I didn't really think that much of it until I found out he walked all the way across the carpark, away from the building, to smoke right near my boyfriends car and stare him down through the window. GOD EVEN THE OTHER MEN in the office are awful, there's a guy next door who's besties with my boss grabbed my waist randomly TWICE! I wanted to scream and say something but I feel so trapped because my boss will fuck me over If I do so I embarrassingly stayed quiet. He's only stopped doing this stuff now because I've awkwardly had a run in with his wife and him. God, there's like three women in the entire building and they do not seem interested in befriending me. This is my first proper full-time job and I feel like idk what is normal and okay.
Am I stupid for wanting to quit and just find something else? I've achieved the best grade classification in a respectable degree, but I know the job situation is terrible for everyone right now. I have enough money for around 3 months of rent saved + living costs, and I pray I'll be able to find something by then. I'll apply to 20+ a day, I have no issue trying. Idk, I feel so humiliated and like a quitter.

I don't want to look at the donation/sell pile or the clothes wasting space in my closet, so I just drop them off at Goodwill or a women's shelter. Once that's done, I don't think about them anymore, and knowing that I won't think about it anymore (out of sight, out of mind) is what motivates me to donate and get it over with. Dealing with the sunk cost fallacy sucked at first, but once I did my first few major closet purges, it made me a much more conscious buyer anyway, and it became less and less of a problem. Now it's not a problem at all. Try to think about the peace of mind you'll have from a less cluttered closet with space for pieces that you like enough to actually wear, fit you properly, you feel good in, etc. It's daunting to do at first, but once it's
done, you won't even think about it, and you'll feel much better for it. Try to look forward to that.

As for selling: if you're daunted by the selling process, start with listing with a few or even just one item so you can get yourself familiarized with the process. I remember being daunted at first too, especially because I wasn't sure how everything worked with packaging and shipping, figuring out shipping costs etc. but it's actually pretty easy.

BUT it's actually an awesome bag to take to the office or class. I got it in Japan yeaaars ago and it's held up all this time, it's nicely structured with plenty of convenient divisions and pockets, it's big enough to fit everything I normally carry plus whatever extras I might have like a jacket, water bottle, shopping, books etc, and it goes well with my somewhat preppy/twee outfits. The fact that it's a literal school bag is probably what makes it good, kids need something hardy if they're gonna use it all day every day. I find that the same applies to shoes, if a style is used for school shoes (eg mary janes and loafers) they will be comfy and last ages.

>>687936Psychfag here. Most people with "BPD tendencies" are better off getting therapy for childhood trauma, rather than worrying about whether or not they have BPD. If you don't have extremely strong, textbook symptoms, you're likely to get a different diagnosis depending on who you talk to, as well as how regularly you're seeing them.
Honestly, your therapist shouldn't be throwing around diagnoses like that in the first place unless she thought it was actually going to benefit you in some way. I can't really even see how this would be the case when you're clearly not into the idea that you could meet the criteria.
You might consider looking into resources for C-PTSD rather than BPD, if you're really worried about. It's basically the same diagnosis but it's much less stigmatized and focuses on resolving trauma in addition to alleviating symptoms.

I think my therapist was kind of useless. I saw her for at least 10 weeks and she never bought up any sort of treatment other than telling me to read a book about BPD. I guess I wasn't ~ready for therapy~ but I really can't remember anything useful I learned from her.

Just bait him with the toy on various surface levels, make him go up and down to catch it, like that miner in that Manic Miner game I used to play as a kid. He likes it because it's challenging enough to keep him interested, but not too challenging to make him give up. This balance is very important, you will have to try out and see what "difficulty setting" is best for your cat.

>>688335I’ve had people compare me to her all the time but I’m pretty sure it’s just her weird personality and voice. Although I did do a celebrity face thing and she came up pretty regularly. I’m just really confused why I’ve never received random compliments when other people get them every time they go out although I’m reserved so it could be that?

Lacking understansing of time makes it seem like 30, 40 is old when you've still got a whole other half of life left.
Also the media/culture really pushes that youth is the height of life… partially because they are pedos. It's true that in youth there's less health issues but cmon, 30 is not a granny. When I see even actual old people doing cool things it's inspiring. As long as you're here there's time

The funny part is that when the people talking shit about being too old to do certain things, reach that age range, or are over that age range, the discourse changes and then you should enjoy your life because you’re young again.
If it’s kids talking shit, remind them about all the stuff you can do as a legal adult with freedom, anything will seem amazing to them.
If it’s an older person doing so, remind them of the youth they will never get back by talking shit about your life choices.

I see a pf physio for this issue (inability to relax). The problem I find is that it’s so much harder to relax the muscles than contract them, and most exercises focus on contracting. However, becoming better able to contract them weirdly helps as you become more familiar with the muscles and how to work them. Definitely worth trying, though the mental aspect is really important too.

>>690620It's just a way for people to latch onto a way to be special. Everyone wants the gold star stickers that give them partial immunity from being a normalfag, so they've been latching onto gender/sexuality subgroups to gain minority status to a degree.
No. 690644
>>690622idk anon, I haven't really seen demisexual used as a claim to minority status or snowflake cred. I mean yeah I'm sure that happens too on tumblr and wherever, and maybe it's even how most people use the word, but I have sometimes used it as a descriptor for my attraction (not like "Hi I'm demisexual" because I guess I also don't want people to think I liken it to lgbt sexualities, more "I don't really feel attraction towards people I'm not in love with or at least crushing on pretty strongly, I guess some people call this being demisexual")
So like the other anon, I think people can just use it as a useful shorthand for this pretty common way of experiencing attraction. On the other hand maybe it isn't ideal, because demi- means "half", leading to the frequent confusion that demisexuals are low libido or half ace even though it's not about that.

>>690678Hey, so I just read on the Sims subreddit someone was having the exact same issue as you, and someone else replies to them "it's time to check your vitamin levels".
Googled a bit, turns out certain vitamin levels affect sleep. In particular too much/too little/erratic levels of vit D can disrupt sleep patterns, but some B vitamins are also important.
If you're taking supplements, maybe stop. If you're not, maybe time to try. Of course take all this with a huge grain of salt because of the source.

As cringe as it is because theyre just uwu cute girls, they are still really intricate sculptures that took a team of artists so many weeks to make. I love watching zbrush streams of artists working on the sculpts spending sometimes 4 hours just carving out the panels of a flowing skirt, it's really incredible. The artists often have just a few references to go off of to make a model that is beautiful in literally every angle so it's kind of nuts. $200 for an imported intricately hand painted sculpt of a character I love is well worth it for me.

I read somewhere about the phenomenon of people getting really mad about the sounds of their partners chewing or breathing when the relationship wasn’t going well, so maybe it’s normal in those situations.

>>691736 in a white area outside of a well developed southern city. My mom has a hick Southern accent and my dad has a strong NYC accent (from North Jersey tho). My biggest influence in my accent was probably other kids since we all didn't have accents/spoke in standard American accents. I moved to California where people gave me shit for being from the south but the thing is they couldn't tell I was even from the south. Slightly OT but I will always feel bad for people with hick accents since once you leave the south, people outside of the American south are brutal in assuming your intelligence and your political views based on you being from the south. I don't have an accent so I've been able to set them straight but I can't imagine how hard it'd be to have people talking down to me if I had a Southern accent.
I think the internet/cross cultural communication for kids has probably helped with standardizing the typical American accent across the younger population. Older people are more likely to have regional dialects and occasionally maybe poor young people from regions with typical accents that don't have as much internet access.
>>691727> slurring and uptalk This is probably the hallmark of standard American accents in young people which I attribute to our access to California-based entertainment and the internet. I shamefully also slur my words and use slang by habit. I do hope some accents stick around though, it'd be boring if everyone sounded the same.

How do each of you specifically position your mouth when drinking out of a glass and do you have to wipe your mouth?
I guess it's related to the shape of your mouth but whenever I drink anything the sides of my mouth get wet and then I have to wipe them with my hand after every sip. I don't feel like I'm drinking like a weirdo but other people don't seem to do this. I googled it but could only see stuff related to booze.
For what it's worth, I press my lower lip mostly level to the glass not under it, half open my mouth in pouty funnel shape like similar to picrel as I pour the water over the inside of my bottom lip. I feel like a complete alien writing this please help.

>>691882Hi, you know those 500ml bottles of soda you can get? I'm in my late twenties and I only recently learned that you're not supposed to suck it like a dick, whole mouth over the opening. So many times I would drink like this and the bottle would crumple with my sucking and then when I stopped drinking the plastic would crackle really loudly. I didn't realise it was weird until my sister pointed it out. Ugh.
Anyway those are my credentials.
Stop drinking with your lower lip pressed against the rim. You think you're doing it tight enough but you're not. There isn't a firm enough seal at the sides so all the drink is dripping out the side of your mouth which is why you need to wipe.
Put your lip under the rim, not on it. Any side area of the glass or whatever will fall into your mouth instead of your face

What exactly is the goal with transitioning to 'nonbinary' with medication? I just found out that men who identify as nonbinary take estrogen, but unlike MtFs, the goal of their transition isn't to become a woman (or be a part of the 'binary' kek). So does their transition just end when they start the estrogen? Are they equivalent to MtFs who dgaf about typically male features as opposed to typical MtFs who are obsessed with erasing all male features? Like balancing out their testoterone with estrogen I suppose? And yes I'm only thinking of nonbinary men but the same hypothesis I have can also work for nonbinary women as well.
Idk I'm not going to ask this question to actual genderspecials because they're insufferable. But if anyone here knows and can tell me wtf the point of medications to affirm 'binary' genders is for nonbinary people then pls do inform me.

>>692719I do the same often, but it’s important to let your friends know what’s up before you go AWOL. If you don’t, your friends might wonder if they did something wrong. Maybe you just need time space, or some extra-extended alone time if you’re an introvert like me. I understand feeling guilty, but you’re completely fine in my opinion. It’s for your mental health, it’s like keeping off a sprained ankle. It’s for your health, and being in tip-top shape means you can be a better friend when you feel up to it!
(P.S I really like not taking to a friend for a looong time, because when we get to meet there’s a lot to talk about!)

Can you really be friends with your ex girlfriend?
I think she's nice and still cares about me but seeing her with a guy kinda broke me, like when I think of her I can't help but oscilate between thinking about sad things and good things. I still think she's neat and I still care about her but idk, like I thank her for the time we spent together as girlfriends but now I'm just sad, even if it's not her fault, I really want to get away from her, but then I feel guilty about just deleting someone who is still nice to me. I guess I have a massive guilt complex about being mean or abandoning those who are still nice to me. But it's not like she's the nicest either, idk please help
No. 692903
>>692890This "let's still be friends" thing is bullshit. Most people can't do it because most relationships are ended one-sidedly with one person being hurt by the other.
You do not have to be in contact with her if it makes you miserable. The grown-up thing would be to talk to her, tell her that you can't be her friend anymore because it's too emotionally draining for you. Then move on. Like I think just ghosting her would be shitty, but any sane person would understand if an ex doesn't want to be around them anymore.

How can I make my brain stop relating certain things to certain people in my past?
An example that comes to mind is the vocaloid song Rolling Girl. I still pretty much like that song and it was cool to listen to it when I was middleschool, but at the time I had these obnoxious mentally unwell ex friends who were BPDchans and thought the song was "literally them", and now I keep thinking about this whenever I listen to this song, even if I myself feel like this song spoke a bit to my teen self

as in, they heavily related to Rolling Girl
No. 693042
>>693039I struggled with this and found that doing two things helped:
1. Letting go of the past, accepting that the song (for example) was just a song and I could associate it with anything I wanted or nothing at all. Basically taking ownership and treating the thing as just a thing, because that’s all it is.
2. Learn to associate it with different things. Brainwash yourself if necessary - listen to the song while playing a game or driving to work. Train your brain to firstly associate it with something else, and eventually those old friends won’t be the first thing to come to mind.

Your cells start shifting the electrolytes back and forth to balance it out, making them swell up and cause problems. You should make sure to eat full meals regularly to keep your electrolytes up and chill out with the water if you get any headaches or abdominal pains.

Ok so I know this is the Zoomer 2000 Rev. Edition question, but seriously, what did people do before the internet? I'm fed up with the internet and hate it here and am only here out of habit, the only places I find tolerable are lolcow and pixiv at this point, so I want to stop it and go offline, preferably permanently. But what do I do? This is what I grew up and lived with for the past 14 years. I guess I could read, and while I have a long attention span, it isn't 16 hours long. I've been usually going out for hour long walks every other day or so for the past three or four years but there's another lock down announced so that's out of the window, too. Watching shows and playing games I might do too, but again, I don't have enough attention to do that the entire day, for this stuff even less than for books. I guess I could learn. I was horrible at maths and didn't get anything after eight grade, so I could start with that. But then again, the internet is the best place to get information…..

I also listen to art history podcasts while I'm doing chores or driving. The History of the World in 1000 Objects is an excellent one to start with if you like world history and comes in book form too. My favorite is Art Detectives with Janina Ramirez that is more medieval but covers modern art too. There are some podcasts on the MoMA site too that are good but kinda normie.
Libgen has all the basic textbooks, Art History by Stokstad is the one I started with.
I suggest doing a basic survey of art and then if you find an object/artist particularly interesting you can dive deeper with academic journals.

The internet just focused all these activities in one place (except the physical part of course). It's sad, but computers and internet are a bit essential for everyday life.

>>693692The internet now is basically the equivalent of the TV back then, where we'd be bombarded with ads but there was still a variety of things to watch, a bunch of series, movies, documentaries, the news, shows about music, cartoons, anime, reality TV, etc. There's been a switch over time where pirating things online wasn't really illegal yet everywhere but everything was replaced by reality TV shows and contests little by little, so all these things became readily available online over time, legally and illegally. If you're into fandoms, instead of having to rely on fan communities online to see what was being released when it came to movies, video games, books, etc. you'd have to rely more on magazines or friends.
As for the equivalent to forums and social media, you were expected to socialize irl, with classmates, coworkers, your neighbors, your family and family friends, etc. Now it's easier to pick and choose who you want to talk to. As a kid I had a hard time socializing with kids and teens my age for several reasons out of my control like being too poor to hang out with my rich classmates where they wanted to or my parents were very controlling so I made friends online on forums and lj, and then tumblr, I spent a lot of time at home online, unlike my classmates. It was more common than now to let older kids do what they wanted in the late 90s and early 2000s with their friends even though not everyone could afford a cellphone. Now people have smartphones and better data plans, so now the average people my age (not sure I can call them normies) are shocked that I don't use social media all that much. As soon as social media became more mainstream there was some kind of reversal.
>Watching shows and playing games I might do too, but again, I don't have enough attention to do that the entire day, for this stuff even less than for books.I remember that me and my friends who liked watching TV shows and reading books did this less and less often and spent more time online out of habit. I guess when you can do all that stuff online and sometimes for free it's just more convenient. But now that this is more readily available it's actually something I do way less than before.

However there is this really popular guy who sit across me and when he read the name of the person he was suppose to give a gift too he just kept sighting and saying "oh no ! fuck " his tone was straight up annoyed, I couldn't help but notice that he was holding a piece of paper that looked really close to the one I've written my name on. Now my question is how should I react when he gives me potentially my gift, I really want to make him unease and say something about the way he reacted right in front of me that day but this is probably kind of mean and stupid but I can't stop thinking about it.

>>693985What have you tried so far? Most cats actually like litter boxes and need very little training.
If she's actually been feral (no human contact ever) for several years, you could start to gradually get her used to coming inside while still letting her out to do her business. In all my catlady years, I've only had one feral cat adjust to indoor living that she never wanted to go outside again, but I'd say it's somewhat rare and depends on the cat's personality. Older cats that have been fixed are more likely to give up the great outdoors.
When you first start to let her inside, you can put her in the litter box right away. She will likely motion to go outside when she needs to go, but you can try to put her back in the litter box again and see if she takes. She may go on the floor a couple of times at first, but it's unlikely to continue.

Its an awkward situation.
Should i buy a gift for my husbands brother?
To summarize:
My husbands parents separated long time ago, his father left for other woman and made a child with her (he didnt leave a lot of details but by timeline and everything its so obvious that he cheated on his mother and left for that woman). Of course I always see and understand the way he feels about it even through the years (father on the other hand dgaf and always invites him and his other sibling like its nbd), he still feels betrayed by it and whatnot. The kid they have is their only child and this youngster literally gets _everything_ in the world like most of the typical single kids (eg everytime theres a new VR coming out, they are buying it for him ASAP. He has 3 ones, including the one from Valve as soon as they started selling it. On top of that he has a lot of other expensive shit in his room that screams "rich gamer dream".).
Now since I started living in his country, I am the one who is always in charge for presents. I am really good at it because I always notice details and i love the joy of people when they love the gift. And of course, this Christmas I am fully in charge of gifting gifts for his big family.
I have bought the gifts for everyone, that including his Father and father's wife (i know they will give me a present too and his wife really likes me), however I havent gotten a gift for his young brother yet. I do know what to get, but whenever we talk about it, my husband always seems to be really "off" with the idea of gifting him a gift in general (he never done that through Christmas years mainly because the kid also doesnt care if he is going to get a gift or not - again, he always gets everything from parents). However in this situation I will feel extremely awkward over not gifting him a gift (if we don't), but at the same time it is true that he doesnt care nor really need gifts from anyone because of his rich parents. But imagine: gifting gifts to parents but not to a kid…?
I am not too sure what to do. My salary has not been doing well lately anyway, so not gifting would be good for finances but I know myself too well that I will end up wanting to punch myself when Christmas comes.
I thought of gifting a game off his wishlist on steam to him, but all of the games on wishlist he has cost 35$+ which is even more than a sweater that I want to buy for myself.
Anons, I am stupid and idk what to do. I will obviously talk about it more to husband, but the situation feels like a stupid circlejerk to me.

>>694042I’ve been trying to get her happy with human contact her whole life but it’s only been in the past few years that she’s started to soften up. She’ll come inside to eat wet food, and often after that she’ll walk over to me on the nearby couch and let me pet her for a bit before she wants to go back out. Problem is this is at my parents house and if I want a litter box it has to be in my bedroom- on a different floor on the other side of the house. If I take her up there and shut the door she never likes it and just waits for me to let her out.
For example, the other day after eating I took her up there, shut the door behind me, and set her in the litter box. She hopped out immediately and went to the door like usual. I pulled her away from the door and gave her pets to distract her and hopefully make her a bit happier being in there. Then she walked back to the door and peed on the carpet.
Maybe it would be helpful to put the box outside and see if she starts using it out there first? She’s an unusually stupid cat for many reasons, we always joke that she’s special needs and she probably is.

>>694201Gift giving ettiquette can be tricky. I think it's really subjective unfortunately.
I think

>>694201Reasons not to gift:
1. Your husband doesn't want to.
2. The kid doesn't want nor need it.
3. You're not doing well financially.
Reasons to gift:
1. You'd feel awkward.
From an outside perspective, this seems really simple. The reason to gift is already kind of a bad one, especially when you have so many reasons to not gift him and ESPECIALLY when you're doing bad financially.
Do yourself a favor and just don't gift him. You're clearly the only one who'd feel bad about it. And if you're going to feel bad either way (Not gifting him something and feel awkward or gifting him something and feel bad about your finances and spending more on yourself than him) you might aswell choose the one that's best for your wallet.

>>694058I tare my scale with the rice cooker bowl, add in 180g of my rice and scrub it in lukewarm water with my knuckles and fingertips til the water rinses clear. It's easier if you just add a cup or so of water at a time and carefully dump after each time. I only fill it with water to the 1C mark in my rice cooker, sometimes adding less to put in other things. Sometimes I leave it with just a little salt or a tiny splash of vinegar. Or I add in chicken stock powder, spring onions, cracked pepper, a splash of soy and a splash of sake. I'm probably making actual Asians cry with this, but it's delicious.

Has it happened to anyone else that you used to enjoy doing something and then someone told you that you suck and since than you always get this shame/guilt feeling when you do that thing? How does one get over that feeling? I know that this is called internalization, but how does one un-internalize negative comments?

>>694361It takes lots of resolve to un-internalize stuff, like, it took me 3 years to get some will to sing again while doing random stuff because I always had people telling me that I suck at it. Then again, I still can’t even pretend I can write stories yet no matter how much encouragement I get from anyone.
I think being alone and a bit secretive of what you do, helps a lot with such things, when you’re on your own, since there are no eyes peering around, you can do whatever you want without any sort of pressure or fear of failure.
I hope it helps somehow, being able to do the things you want to do really makes most days good.

My grandma just died some days ago.
Thinking about my grandma though, she was always an abusive woman towards my mom. And she had a lot of traits of a narcissitic mom, and I'm sure to hell and back that she had NPD.
Thinking about my brother too, he has been abusive towards me and fits the NPD diagnosis pretty well. My dad too, makes sense he was so manipulative.
So when I think of myself I am pretty afraid of being narcissistic myself. I think I've had traits, but whenever I get tests done by professionals or online, I always come out negative. I don't have NPD. But my traits are
-Low self esteem
-Sometimes I feel like I'm a bit better than other people, but not in a grandiose way. I just think other people can be assholes or very dumb.
-I think I'm gifted, even when I don't really do much because of depression. This keeps me alive, because I know I can pick up drawing again and be happy. But it's not like I rub it on people's faces or think other people can't be more gifted than me
All said I think that some narcissistic rage does comes out whenever I'm in a relationship. I don't even want to talk about it because I've only had one serious relationship and I feel like both of us fucked it up, but the fact that I was very angry just fucks me up even futher. I just feel so disgusted at myself.
And let's just say with my subsequent crush immediately after ending this turbulent relationship, I love bombed the hell out of them, even when I didn't intend to. I learnt what lovebombing was after and stopped myself.
What should I do? Is there some advice to this?

>>694321Also fried rice should be cooked on very high heat (the highest you can get) and oil at every step. So oil, veggies, oil, rice, oil, eggs, etc. When you add rice, add lots of soy sauce, sesame oil for extra aroma, other thick brown sauce (like oyster, Worcestershire, or "stir fry" sauce).
People say you need day-old rice for fried rice, but as long as you cook it long in the pan and use lots of oil I don't find it necessary.

>>694479you mean fury road or the first one from 1979?
madmax 1: dull revenge story, not even actually post-apocalyptic
madmax 2: influential in it's inventive set and costume design, but feels generic from being copied soooo much when viewed now adays
madmax 3: rehash of the second movie but lesser in every way, annoying civilization of little kids characters
madmax fury road: actually a good movie, every scene pops visually with a plot that's always progressing and action that feels more intense than typical consequence-free power fantasy, surprisingly feminist themes about a group of mostly women overthrowing a patriarchy trying to enslave them for reproduction, quite a depressing setting though
No. 694546
>>694410I used to be the same. For the stuff that made me feel really bad (like checking an old friend’s sm) I cut that out cold turkey. I realised there was a negative cycle going on, and checking only ever made me angry/sad. It took a long time to get to that point, but since then I’ve been stubborn about it. If you’re seeing immediate negative effects, that should be enough motivation to stop it.
Other stuff, I think it’s normal to hate some things, just limit how much you dwell on it? Like don’t spend hours on lc, schedule time in advance and limit your time. To distract yourself of the urge find something positive to do instead, something that catches your interest as much as the negative thing.
As I said it’s not unhealthy in itself to hate things, but if it’s negatively affecting your life then it’s time to take a step back.

If someone takes or uses something very specific to one or several related cultures and pretend they came up with it. Or they do it wrong in a way that's so inaccurate it's laughable. Or someone pretending they're one of us because they like us somewhat. Examples for each, related to my culture are:
>that one middle eastern fashion designer whose name I forgot who designed some of the most basic and boring karakous I've ever seen and made the white models wear amazigh tribal tattoos and said his inspiration was GOT a few years ago
>men getting small amazigh tattoos for the aesthetics except they're specifically meant to help women have children/prevent infertility
>Madonna's birthday in this outfit saying stupid shit, although imo it's not that bad, there was some actually interesting debate back then

>>694707The thing that spoke to me was that sex workers literally sell their bodies. An office worker sells his knowledge and time, types everything in the computer and works with that. A construction worker works with his body, too, but what he sells again, are his skills and the end product, not literally himself. Not sure if I explained that understandably lmao

No. 694748
>>694707Well it's basically derived from the "just another job" argument, which can be attacked in itself and then its derivatives don't need to be argued. Sex work is obviously not "just a job like others" when it has such specific risks, legislation problems, ruin and implications on human sexuality. Saying that it only has negative consequences on one's psyche or future job opportunities because of its legality also seems bullshit because then it wouldn't affect people that leave this job in more egalitarian (nordic model) countries.
Or you could also ask them, if they were OK with the government office suggesting their daughters/sisters/mother a brothel in case of unemployment and saying they're not serious enough about looking for a job when they refuse?
