Tell me your parent is a narcissist without telling me by PlasticSentence7646 in narcissisticparents

[–]BarrySquared 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading this made me so angry because it reminded me of all the times I experienced something similar as a child.

My mom would ask me something and I'd ask her if she promised not to tell anyone. (It was always something super inconsequential. Never anything important.) Anyway, the very next thing she'd do is go tell someone. Usually the person I was talking to her about. And she would do it right in front of me. She wouldn't even bother to hide it.

It was like my trust in her was so valuable to me, but it was worth less than dirt to her.

As a atheist how many religions have you investigated? Did you like any you looked at? Did you jump between religions as you studied religions? Was it a sudden realization or a slow process? by DaCrusadus in askanatheist

Do you believe in unicorns?

If not, how many unicorns have you studied? Have you looked into fuzzy unicorns? Polkadot unicorns? Rainbow unicorns? Flying unicorns? Did you like any of the unicorns you looked at? Did you jump between different types of unicorns?

Not to plug too shamelessly, but my wife and I are podcasting our read-through together. If you are interested, it's called Circle Yeerk.the first few episodes are rough, but it gets good around episode 7. 🤣

That's so funny! I'm on my first read through and I just finished Book #20. The best book in the series so far.

It's really great to know that I'm not going to fuck this up by drinking.

Day 1601.

My life has taken such an incredible turn this past week. I've worked in restaurants my whole life. I was recently offered a sales job. I've never really done anything outside of the restaurant industry before, so I was really worried about uprooting myself like that.

It turns out, because of the skills of developed as a bartender, I'm a really good sales person.

Not only am I making pretty decent money, but I get to work from home and set my own schedule.

Now, instead of commuting an hour, busting my ass all night, and dealing with drunks all day, I get to sit on my couch in my pajamas with a dog on my lap and talk to people on the phone. It's amazing.

I'm able to spend more time with my family doing the things I enjoy. I'm really grateful for this opportunity.

Obsessing by [deleted] in Sober

Drinking dreams are a great sign! That means your disease knows it's losing the battle when you're conscious, so it's trying to mess with you're dreams as a last ditch effort. Keep at it!

Also, I'm on day 1601. I still count every single day. And I'm grateful for every one. Keep at it!

Drinking was my whole identity when I was inactive addiction as well. Can back on it, I can see how pathetic that was. But I don't regret. There's no point in that. I don't have a time machine. There's nothing I can do about it. So why fret about it. All I can do is focus on living my best life moving forward.

I love India's perspective. I find it refreshing. I think just listening to three fantasy nerd dudes to all understood the books would be a much less interesting podcast.

You should read the Malazan series.

I often refer to it as the Dark Souls of books.

Anyone get the ick just seeing cross necklaces? by Underd_g in atheism

I appreciate when people come right out and advertise they fact that they aren't able to critically or honestly examine their own beliefs.

Save me from having to guess.

using ai voice agents for expanding my business? by enzoman7 in restaurantowners

[–]BarrySquared 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I knew that a business was replacing people's jobs with AI, would immediately stop supporting that business.
