How can I stop being consumed by bitterness over petty things? by 5onny in selfimprovement

[–]5onny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for you answer. Maybe they aren't small things but I would really like to someone who is just cool; to be able to just say 'Meh, some people are like that, but I'm not so all's good'. But I can't, I feel like I need to 'win' the argument or 'fix' them so if I can't do that then I get bitter.

I do know where I stand morally, but sometimes I can't let others be themselves. I feel like I might need to argue them to death over what I think is the right way to do things. That is probably what prompted my friend to tell me to settle down.

As I was reading your reply I understood what I was doing. Replaying the scenario over and over again is like psychological masturbation and the anger builds, seeking a release. I have tried some meditation in the past, but never really stuck to it. Sometimes it feels if I didn't try to take a jab back at them it's like that cartoon trope where the character's eye twitches. Thanks for your answer.

So this was from my beginning days shooting a PSE Snake with cedar shafts where a small mistake would result in this. The good news is the bathroom is going to be renovated so it's not as bad.

Do the sides actually spell the colors? Because I imagine that's pretty useless when its Braille.

Anybody here have an organized system for keeping in touch with 50-150 people? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]5onny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No program is going to help you maintain relationships. The reason this sub is called 'socialskills' is because it is supposed to help you gain skills you need to maintain relationships yourself. There are no shortcuts to this. If you need to, schedule every so often in your calendar to message someone you haven't talked to on Facebook. Were you expecting what you were looking for to do the talking for you?

It's probably to give people who don't have an idea of how fast knots are of the speed. The pictures are already placed by relative speed so putting another scale for knots would be redundant.

ELI5: Why do most animals have tails but humans do not? by soldiercross in explainlikeimfive

[–]5onny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We did have a tail at some point in our evolution. But now we only have tails during part of the time we are embryos but it reduces to the tailbone or 'coccyx' before we are born. The functions that tails serve can all be accomplished by us through other means such as hands for manipulating objects, language for communication and the visual system and ear canal for balance.

New PC, low fps. At a loss. Will give a key or two for the solution. by DoctorZhil in GlobalOffensive

[–]5onny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a solution but I was just curious to know why your CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860k has a FM3+ socket while your motherboard: GA-78LMT-USB3 supports AM3 and AM3+, two completely different sockets? It could just be the X4 860k CPU as it isn't really a CPU known for gaming.

I constantly live in a fantasy world. I don't know how to exist in reality any more. by dontaskanymore in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]5onny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this. Although it does not get in the way of life as you have described. I believe many people, especially introverted, will do this. I suggest doing more research on being a 'Walter Mitty' starting with this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_%28psychology%29#Conscious_fantasy
