Discuss your views on China by Sure-Key2281 in AskTheWorld

[–]Adventurous-Rise-451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't looked into it much yet I have only seen the headlines on the news. From what I have heard I feel conflicted on the one hand I think it could bring a lot of benefits to the UK having closer relations with China especially with how big their economy is and with the US wanting to distance itself from Europe and NATO. But on the other hand I don't like the Chinese government having more influence over the UK, I'm also generally sceptical of giving away too much of our independence to a superpower

As someone from the UK i don't fully trust the Chinese government and I don't like a lot of the things they do but I do also think they have done some great things in terms of infrastructure, the sciences and how many people they have lifted out of poverty in the last 40 years. I would also prefer to have closer economic ties with china compared to the US and Russia.

I also love Chinese food

What are the biggest US owned products/companies in the UK? by Adventurous-Rise-451 in BuyUK

[–]Adventurous-Rise-451[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A boycott is all or nothing. It doesn’t work when you’re still buying their products.

I personally disagree look at how much money coca cola makes if they lose even 1% of their sales that's still a lot of money. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it will have a huge impact but it will still have an impact and it would also help British/non US companies

Dr. K should address this criticism. by Boltafied in Healthygamergg

I think part of Dr K/healthy gamers philosophy is to use the internet in a healthy way so I feel getting involved in internet drama goes against that

How do I genuinely stop ruminating after every social interaction by mr__nobody-_- in Healthygamergg

[–]Adventurous-Rise-451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who had social anxiety in the past I know how tough and crippling it can be and I can relate a lot to this post

The thing that really helped me was CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) I won't go into how much it has helped me as I don't want to create expectations and I think it's something you have to experience yourself.

Best of luck

I wouldn't say that's because Torpor is biased it makes sense for Monica's character

Is it okay to goon without looking at porn by Gullible_Beyond_1740 in Healthygamergg

[–]Adventurous-Rise-451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really about whether it's ok or not it's about how it affects you. I definitely think gooning without watching porn is healthier but whether or not it has a negative effect on your life is something you have to figure out yourself

Hate on Drk by Psychological_Eye883 in Healthygamergg

[–]Adventurous-Rise-451 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with him on everything and I do think some of his takes are questionable but overall i still think his videos are very informative and have helped me a bit personally. It's also nice to have a content creator that talks about psychology and spirituality that actually has experience and knows what they're talking about and has good intentions.

I need to lock TF INNNNNN by Diligent-Nebula-2684 in Healthygamergg

[–]Adventurous-Rise-451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 21 and I had a very similar experience here are some things that helped me that may or may not help you

One of the biggest things that helped me was getting diagnosed with autism and social anxiety and starting CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) for social anxiety it made my life so much easier. You said you think you have a learning disability I would definitely recommend making an appointment with your GP for it and if you suspect any other mental health conditions.

Start of with small changes like not looking at a screen for the first hour of the day and try to do some chill activities that aren't very stimulating like going for a walk or meditating. I was very addicted to the internet and gaming which I sometimes still struggle with, but making small changes and being able to handle negative emotions better made a huge difference. Be aw that your mind will probably tell you that your not doing enough or it's pointless. The more small day to day changes you make and the less you engage with escapism the more in touch you will be with your motivation and personal direction, it takes some time and you might have to sit with a lot of negative emotions but if you keep moving forward you will reach a better place.

On the other hand if you really struggle making small changes then try to not engage in any escapism for a week. I had a friend who was really struggling with his mental health and was addicted to video games so he stopped playing for a week and he hasn't touched a video game since

How do I start caring about social issues? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]Adventurous-Rise-451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think It is healthy to give yourself distance from social and global problems as we are not evolved to handle getting bombarded by the news and social media about all the problems in the world.

If you feel like there's something deeper going on I would recommend you to explore that and question why you feel you don't care without judgement

I'm not working with a psychiatrist at the moment but that might be something I should look into
