There's a girl I have a romantic interest in, but I'm all but certain she has a boyfriend. A couple months ago, I found that she works remotely on Fridays so I floated the idea of us both working at libraries and coffee shops and whatnot once a week and she happily obliged. Is it a good idea to c...

Now the problem is I have a friend i mean Best friend for my life,I've known her from really long time . she thinks that i'm having good time with my new friends and i'm ignorin...
Right now I am confronted with a difficult situation where I want to ask for your empathic recommendation. The father of one of my very best friends strongly suffers on cancer and is dying very soon (potentially even today). She told me about the actual seriosity when I wrote her to ask for a wal...
In other, good news: mom is now on the phone with an aunt that apparently can't make her birthday party tonight. This makes three people not coming so far, so three less people to cater!
Well then, I hope you won't be too tired Monday morning and that you will have the opportunity to rest before next weekend (because waiting a full week before being able to rest is no fun)
@Ælis I'll survive. I can work from home on Wednesdays, so I can sleep in that day if I want to. Also, tiredness is probably not as much of an issue for me as it might be for some of the other people here ;)
@ankii In my experience, faking confidence doesn't help much. Having help from a psychiatrist, on the other hand, could help. If the issue is serious enough, they might prescribe you some drugs that would help with the anxiety. If it's not, a couple of session and talking about your fear could do the trick (it's far from being an exact science though, don't expect too much out of it, especially since good therapist are hard to find)
I was searching for a good time to visit them again.. Now that vacations just got over, internship fuss is over, exams are away, I think it's high time I go once more
yes, it was good. She was considerate, logical and gave some very good suggestions I couldn't otherwise think of
@ankii I'm glad to hear that :) I know I waited for two and a half years before I finally had the courage to make an appointment with a therapist/ask for help
If you want to be a good writer, for example, put some effort into writing better, and after a while, you'd have something you feel is worthwhile to share with the world
@ankii I'm glad to hear that too. But if, at some point, you don't feel like she is good (enough) anymore, don't hesitate to change. I know I had to try several therapist before finding one that was good enough for me
Sorry, I just can't trust studies on psychology and social sciences much. Yet.
They're all doing it for P, F or whatever they like to call their factor.
See how easy it is for medical sciences to shrug "anomalies" off as edge cases? Well, it happens on a much bigger scale much more easily with mental and social sciences
@ankii what I'm saying is, the word "symptom" often just ends up adding more negative connotation to the behavior.
@M.A.R. It's an article that first leads me to believe that I might be on the autism spectrum. If someone finds themselves in an article about mental health issues, the best thing they can do (IMO) is to go check it out with a professional (and not wait around for several years like I did)
@M.A.R. yes.. I am not very keen for medicines or going to psychiatrist. Counsellors are an intermediate level I can say. They try to talk things out, carry out several meetings before deciding a serious case
I hope I don't need to go to medicines..
not that they're bad or something.. I just think it can be sorted out otherwise
@ankii I hope you don't if you don't want to. But know that there is no shame in needing them and taking some. It's like wearing glasses. Why wouldn't you use it if you have bad eyesight?
Thanks for the edit @EmC ! I tend to "drop words" sometimes (ie: forget to write them) but and forgetting "people" after "blind" was a bit unfortunate :/
And the music/rhythm is very catchy! But yeah, sorry about the depressing part, I didn't think about that :/ (the music did make me feel more fierce, like "We have a voice too!")
I just learned that, in France, in 2007, 17% of people who self identify as Catholic declare to not believe in God!!! (source: youtu.be/6NZLdDNQQkQ?t=423) Oo
is it more of a "cultural" thing for those people, then?
one of my college friends described himself as a "Jewish atheist" - he didn't believe in a god, but still followed traditions and celebrated holidays and such
Arg, I just discovered that, like "mansplaining", "cisplaining" is a thing >< I really should have keep away from MSE and not ask for clarification in comment. Why couldn't I just trust my gut feeling that this was just some ignorance BS?
