You ever feel yourself changing into a very vicious, sadistic, ugly person personality wise? I feel as if my very soul, (or whats left of it) has gotten darker as time went on and things changed. Is it me, or the world who is changing me for worse? How do I know? And is this bad?
No
>>34969967And to answer your question , that is something to explore and interpret once we are in person.
>>34969978Huh? I would think you identify with this
>>34969967It can go both ways. I had a wake up call after pulling a knife on some dudes a couple of times and I've chilled out a lot since then.
>>34969967Not sadistic, just far less empathetic.Vulnerability is getting to be much more of a liability as the years drag on. People seem to be more keen on taking advantage of one another; the world is getting very competitive. More than it ever has been.It's not a good thing. Defensive strategies take too much effort away from innovation. The world stagnates as scavengers loom overhead. Eager for any weakness they might spot, we all get stuck into a holding pattern.Circling the drain, as it were. A sad state of affairs, and I'm far too dull to suggest a realistic way out of it.If you want my advice, find your favorite distraction. Pray its novelty lasts till your death, and you'll never despair.
i’ve been wondering something, how come pretty much every man i see on social media these days be incredibly misogynistic?they whine and complain about being single and unloveable, then turn around calling random woman ‘foids’, ‘stress reliever’ and ‘bitch’.Do they not realize that being a piece of shit won’t attract any women? Dont give me any bullshit on how a woman rejected them or something, get over it. I’ve been rejected multiple times by men yet i’m not here calling them derogatory names.It’s always “not all men are the same”, yet when a woman does something bad it’s “all woman are the same!!”Why?
>>34958485>Do they not realize that being a piece of shit won’t attract any women?
>>34958485>Do they not realize that being a piece of shit won’t attract any women?Flip this around. Being pro social in itself won't attract any women either.
>>34958485>Do they not realize that being a piece of shit won’t attract any women?If women aren't attracted to them to begin with, what's the harm?Personality is a meme anyway. I seen women ignore stuff like being a convicted pedophile or woman beater because the guy was freakishly tall.
>>34958485>Do they not realize that being a piece of shit won’t attract any women? this statement misses a part of the picture and tries to create correlation, or even worse, causality, where there is none.on the lower end of the male success distribution curve, you have misogynistic incels, that's true.but on the higher end you have misogynistic chads (we used to call them 'macho' types) who game, pump and dump relentlessly because they simply don't care. and you shouldn't worry too much about them, they have no trouble attracting new women.
>>34958485A lot of men who have their shit together don't use social media.
Following up on >>34924342After talking to the family doctor, she immediately said it was a psychotic episode and he needed immediate psychiatric assistance, apparently he already had a history and I never knew. In hindsight the signs were pretty obvious and if I was aware of his condition I probably could have moved earlier, now he's had a year of this shit building up.So with that said, anyone have any advice for convincing a crazy person to go to the crazy doctor? The family doctor offered to help convince him through an appointment, but that's all we have at the moment.
Desperation bump
i am not sure if there is much you can do, at least where i am, someone going through a psychotic episode have to seek professional help on their own accord, unless they are a danger to themselves or others.go check out some specific subreddits for what you are dealing with, they usually have resources and information listed of these kinds of things. also inform yourself about the situation in your country, what your possibilities are.good luck!
>>34965616what makes you think hes crazy and you arent?
>>34970088For one, external validation. The doctor and the immediate family all agree that he is having an episode.Secondly, the denial of evidence. Whenever the evidence hinted at innocence, he ignored it and continued spying.Finally, him having had psychiatric history before, as well as a brother who has schizophrenia.>>34970083Thanks.
>have an upcoming adhd assessment with a nurse practitioner at a psychiatry clinic what should i expect and how do i convince them i have adhd and not just anxiety/depression
>>34966879how do you know that it's much harder than it should be? i had a similar issue when i started university, but i also had a long history of things pointing towards adhd, like literally since i was a child, and i didnt get tested until i was 30 which comes with its own issues, since you'll find ways to deal with it and also iternalize some stuff. i also was never someone to lose things on a regular basis, which is like this super typical sign that you may have adhd, but the fact is that it can still show up in different ways.with adhd it's has a lot to do with what activation. but even when i studied something that did interest me, i would struggle either way. also, it's not necessarily adhd just because you struggle with focus and procrastination. that is often times a rather normal thing. adhd is more than just that. for me, one of the main reasons why i got tested was emotional dysregulation. i feel stuff often times too intensely, to the point where it causes me distress to a degree where i just dont know how to cope with it in anyway. do an online self test, that will give you a broad idea if you may have it. also talk with people who have it and their experiences. i know a few people who have it, and it's different for a lot of people, but then there are also some, that can really relate to how i experience things, which is really reassuring and was also one of the reasons i got tested in the first place. i met someone who got diagnosed late in life, and while i always suspected that, interacting with that person, it was a bit like seeing how it's like for other people dealing with me and my stuff. also, still a good chance you have anxiety and depression or whatever.you dont necessarily need to be hyperactive, that is one aspect of adhd, but not all, for me it does feel like i have a motor that is constantly running, which is a bit of a problem since most people seem rather slow in everything, the way the act and do things and think.
>>34966825"Doctor, I need help with -- oh, look, a butterfly!"
>>34966825im in a similar situation as OP but i graduated college and the last 2 years were helli havent tried to get a job yet and im neet because i just havent applied yet.im pretty sure i have adhd but i know how antsy the doctors get when giving prescriptionsdo they actually practice restraint when giving prescriptions like ive been led to believe or do they just hand out the drugs.i want the drugs tho. anything to fix me
>get a full $1000 assessment >final diagnosis was negative right on the threshold by 1 point >conclusion on the text says I have clearly a lot of daily difficulties and strong signs of ADHD and autism>but just not enough for a positive>can't access treatments just to try >hear that for some people the stimulants change their life>but also people who do them recreationally or self medicating says the same>highly regulated medsFrom what I understand, low dosage stimulates make everyone their better self. So it's not a tell tell that you do have ADHD or not. I am seeing a psychiatrist to consult see if there is anything to do.I feel miserable in daily life. I live to manage anxiety and ADHD symptoms, not to live life. There is not much to do. I am getting fairly blackpilled about the whole thing..
>>34970208depends on the doctor and drugs wont fix you. even finding the right medication and dosage for you is a process that takes a long time, and each come with their own advantages and disadvantages. medication should be used in tandem with therapy anyway.
How do I enter the workforce again after nearly four years unemployed & without study? I'm almost 22, and I've been taking care of my elderly grandma after having something approximating a nervous breakdown when I was a teenager.All that mental baggage has left me now, but I'm still unsure how to place those first building blocks again. I intend to join the army soon to develop skills needed for a career, but I need something to keep me busy in preparation for that. I'm able-bodied, healthy, and still have decent communication skills. I have a year of experience with regular 40+ hour weeks at McDonalds, but I'm not sure how much of that is still with me now.
>>34966097What exact career skills do you intend to acquire in the army? This is very very important because being an infantryman gives you no skills and fucked up knees. Also, consider the navy too, Uncle Sam needs sailors more than he needs soldiers
>>34966234I intend to train as an electrician within the army, working on equipment and infrastructure. I'd also be doing what my deceased father requested of me, which is a high priority for me. He was an infantryman stationed in Malaya in 1968. The Navy would probably suit my temperament more, but I'm reluctant about the open ocean, and the Australian Navy is more likely to be involved in a crisis in the Taiwan Strait than the Army.
>>34966247Hey, that's a pretty good plan. If your armed forces are anything like ours, just make sure whatever you sign says you're going to be an electrician.
Literally just lieit is morally acceptable to lie especially when most resumes are filtered through AI at this point
>>34966097Google "skills-based resume" to see how you can present yourself based on what you can do, rather than on where you worked.
Looking for advice or feedback to make some sense out of this. during the late 90s-early 2000s my school had some strange program where they taught us how to run a cash register and order fast food. once a week or so, we would have a special day where we would go to a separate building, and we would use McDonald’s play sets like the one in the picture here and we would be there for about a half hour. It was better than doing math so I didn’t mind it for the most part.we would split up into pairs where one person would be the customer moving the hotwheels car and using construction paper to mimic money, and the other person would be operating the drive through. Our teacher would patrol around the aisles and take notes on her clipboard and correct us if we made a mistake. I didn’t understand what the point of any of this was. The teacher took it really seriously so eventually it stopped being as fun.Every so often real McDonald’s employees would visit and they would train us. if we did really well they would give us McDonald’s coupons, so most of us ended up going to McDonald’s a few times a week to get free food.There was this one guy in the class who was really good at it, and one day the McDonald’s workers started talking to him. He signed some piece of paper and then he walked out of the building and we never saw him again in any of our classes. that part has always bothered me the most. What happened to him?Eventually they stopped the program after a couple years, but as I got older I’ve wondered why they made us do all of that? In college I’ve asked people if their schools did anything like that, but the answer has always been no. Which is why I’m asking you guys, why the fuck did they make us do that? What happened to that guy from class who I never saw again? Am I weird for finding this so weird?
>>34967421New ARG?
>>34967421>What happened to him?I hope you liked your free burgers.
>>34967421As much as I would like to portray this as some MK Ultra type program, it also sounds like it could be that you were mentally challenged and the exercises were to help you build up some basic skill set like socialization.
>>34967421>Americans have McDonalds Reeducation CampsCan't make this shit up.
>>34967421You got some intelligent answers when you posted this last week.
Is it a sign of intelligence if you don't use expletives when you speak? Especially during times when you're arguing with someone in anger?
>>34968597Nah, intelligent people don't swear. That's a basic fact of life.
>>34969179It's definitely a strong indicator of good character, that's for sure.
>>34968597IQ and intellect are two different things. IQ is a measuring tool for the intellect and it only determines the level of basic problem-solving, while intelligence includes social skills, erudition and complex problem-solving. Perhaps swearing is more fit to smart people rather than intellligent ones ,as being smart has more to do with practice than genetics
>>34970015>Perhaps swearing is more fit to smart peopleAnswer me this, why do subhumans swear then? It's certainly not because they're intelligent.
>>34970055They aren't 'intelligent' but nobody restricts them to be smart, since being smart is about knowing and being intelligent is about understanding.
>55kg, MJust hit 30.I've been trying to take better care of my health for the past year but never stick to it. Would appreciate some advice.I tried all kinds of exercise/sports stuff but never kept at it for more than a month. I just don't enjoy it, so if I'm tired after work I end up skipping..Tried a lot of stuff. Lifting, running, cycling, swimming.Running I used to like (was in track in HS) but the air pollution has gotten way worse in my city, it's just hazardous to be out now.Cycling (indoor) I stuck to the longest but it's just so fucking boring.Lifting I tried to force myself to do it bc I know strength is necessary but I honestly just don't like it.>MotivationI guess I just want to be healthier, kinda. It's a weak motivation. It's more like I want to avoid future health issues however nebulous that seems.>DisciplineI haven't been very disciplined at all. I tried and making it a habit by forcing myself into the gym every day for a month to do something but honestly it never stuck
>>34967312I have a habit of skipping meals especially if I'm sipping coffee or focused on my work/hobbiesbesides that I'm 170cm so it's not that light for my height

>>34969205The average credit card APY is about 20%, which means a monthly rate of 1.6%. A cashback rate of 4% is so obscene that you can miss two payments a year and still be ahead. Personal consumption expenditures are about $17k a year. 4% of that is $680 a year. If you put that into the S&P500 at 8.7% average returns over the last 30 years then you'll have $10k out of thin air by the end of the decade. Over 40 years, this is 200 thousand dollars. On top of that, take into account that the difference between a 700 and a 760 credit score is a 5% cheaper mortgage. A $700k house on a 30 year fixed mortgage is about $1.4m in total. 5% of that is another $70k out of thin air. So via using credit cards I am at least a quarter million richer by 2066. You have no idea what you're talking about.

>>34966806>who is observing, when the ego dies?No one.>what is ego death anyways and how do i know if i had it?It's something that happens sometimes when you take a high dose of psychedelics: the normal operation of your brain is so disturbed for a while that you no longer have any sense at all of who you are, and are unable to think in any way that is familiar. If you've never taken psychedelics, you've definitely never experienced it.>is this healthy or not?It's not a problem; it passes. But psychedelics aren't for everyone, and can trigger psychosis if you have a predisposition.
>>34968967what does it mean to have a sweet n lowe favoured soul? no fish, but whale though not fluid enough? why timid if chastisement is incoming? shall a soul not delight in heaven?
Have you ever had to work with a woman or a bunch of women at your job that just hated being around you?That just saw you as this ugly creepy weirdo pathetic loser that they would do anything to get away from?They don't say it out loud but you can see the look of disdain for you on their horrified faces every time?How did you manage to carry yourself in that situation without feeling like that pathetic loser?
>>34968450>That just saw you as this ugly creepy weirdo pathetic loser that they would do anything to get away from?>lol, no.
How does one even find a new job after working at a place like this? You either have to explain a potentially massive employment gap or tell them where you worked so they can call the place and get told you’re the worst person ever.
>>34969828I thought employers are only legally allowed to say if you worked there or not and nothing more.
>>34969921they can also say if you are well hung or a bottom

>>34966884I certainly do, my ex gf did say she was "Demi-sexual" and that she fell in love with me because of my personality and honesty, but when I told her about how I attract shitty women she did say "well you are conveniently attractive", so taking that statement into consideration outside of the context. which answer was true, my personality or looks. Doesn't really matter.But yeah she was crazy in her own right , she did say she asked god whether she should ask me out and he answered.>Sounds a bit schizo to meMy problem is that they way people describe me. People have told me they thought I was scary on first meeting, I've been told I look like a thug. But then I've also heard Fit, hot, "zaddy", cute.The best description was that I looked like MGK.Completely digressing here, but the point is, I look alternative despite not really being alternative. But because of that I seem to attract the mentally ill. The funny part is I genuinely asked my now ex while we were still together why I seem to attract these types and what do I need to change about myself to not>Completely blind sided at the time that she was one of these types.
