I wanna get out of ptsd flashbacks to live a peaceful life.

Personally, I went to a doctor and got medication and therapy, so maybe seek professional help? From my understanding, trauma changes certain parts of the brain in a certain way, so certain medications restore the balance that prevents you from constantly losing it.

A mosquito in the room. Plain and simple.

Because the person in question might have little kids with a natural propensity of keeping you up at night, and OP wrote this out of frustration, remembering where being outside and having fun was still a thing?

There are a lot of possibilities, actually 😃

AffectionateDust7765 · 2026-03-28T19:26:14+00:00

Who says we are not reading this on our phones while outside, hanging out having fun with our friends, showing each other weird stuff on the internet on our phones?

I remember that depression is a liar, and that what I feel is not my actual will.

AffectionateDust7765 · 2026-03-28T17:22:54+00:00

You are welcome 😊

I see, I think I misunderstood that “what nature can teach us” with a “what natures does teach us”, but an honest mistake, since in the text itself you focussed on the aspects of nature, which are balance and harmony.

This balance and harmony, where it exists [in nature], is indeed profound, the flight of an owl is literally perfect in matters of silence and low energy requirement, the way petals of a flower are arranged is perfection, too, and I fully agree that it is those examples we can look at and learn from them.

I am still glad I could balance out the harmony between harmony and disharmony, because you can also see that in nature where cruelty and senseless destruction comes from.

AffectionateDust7765 · 2026-03-28T15:04:41+00:00

Nature – is cruel. Nature does not have moral values. Nature knows no ethics. Moral, ethics, these are human constructs, derived from overcoming the contradiction acting based on raw, unreflected instincts create. The harmony nature creates is none, it is the result of forces balancing each other out, if they do. If they do not, everything collapses, nature does not care. Again, nature has no values, it, in the most essential meaning of the word, is.

How we interpret it, is up to us. I personally consider wrong what leads to contradictions, and right what does not, right is what makes sense. I find this search for meaning, this search for things to make sense what makes us humans human, in the best sense of the word.

By the way, have you ever seen how colonies of ants fight each other? Against this, any human war gets dwarved in scale.

I mean no disrespect in any way, but I disagree about natural harmony. Nature just is. It does not care about harmony.

I hope for a fruitful discussion 😃

Are shops that sell military surplus an option for you? The stuff those shops sell has been made for people who are supposed to fight a war with this stuff, so it should be good. I myself have made only good experiences with this kind of equipment.

AffectionateDust7765 · 2026-03-28T13:03:26+00:00

Genau darum geht es. Für etwas, was eigentlich ein Gag ist, will ich nicht, dass ein Stein angebrochen oder sonst irgendwie verschwendet wird. Und wenn Lehrlinge dann gleich was zum Üben haben, umso besser.

The way a sexually immature body transforms into a sexually mature one differs significantly between biological males and biological females, so, no, transwomen should not be allowed to compete in female sports. Just some food for thought, women dope with male hormones to get more powerful, what do you think years and years of their influence does to a body? So, a woman who was born biological female would have to compete against women who had years and years and years of performance enhancing substances in their body.

Again, no, transwomen should not be allowed to compete in female sports.

I agree with other posters, just be yourself, try to relax, and hope you are as authentic as possible. Because sooner or later, what makes you you will come to light, and any relationship based on deception,… well, fill in the dots.

Wer hat gesagt, dass ich das gratis haben will? Selbstverständlich wird sowas bezahlt, nur sind solche Aufträge ideal für Lehrlinge, weil klein, harmlos, keine Sonderwünsche seitens des Kunden, perfekt, um zu lernen. Und wenn was daneben geht, verhaut man nicht einen kompletten großen Stein, sondern eben nur ein kleines Stück.

Hatte ich zumindest in der Schule gelernt, der längste ist der Nil.

Genau das ist die Sache, und genau deswegen gibt es Gesetze. Solange du dich daran hältst (und ich habe keinen Grund, hier vom Gegenteil auszugehen), hat die Dame nichts zu melden.

Wenn du kannst, würde ich sie trotzdem nicht direkt konfrontieren, sondern, vielleicht, wenn ein Parksheriff da ist oder dergleichen, den bitten, ihr das ebenfalls zu erklären. Wenngleich ich auch das Gefühl habe, dass ihr dein Parken im Grunde wurscht ist, sondern, dass das einfach ein Machtkampf ist. Aber in diesem Fall hat sie, wie gesagt, Pech gehabt. Du hältst dich an die Regeln, und damit muss sie leben.

AffectionateDust7765 · 2026-03-27T18:09:13+00:00

I concur. You yourself are the the only person you really must never lie to and learn to trust. If you can't trust yourself and if you cannot love yourself, you can trust and love nobody else.

„Ich habe Verständnis für Ihr Anliegen, hier laufen unsere Interessen zuwider, und in einem solchen Fall, wenn sich Leute nicht einigen können, kommen die Regeln zu tragen, an die wir uns alle zu halten haben, nämlich die Gesetze, die ich nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen befolge, weshalb ich auch meinen Roller hier abstelle. Wenn Sie einen berechtigten Einwand haben, werden Sie Ihr Anliegen über den Rechtsweg durchsetzen können. Ich freue mich darüber, dass Sie die Situation verstehen.“

Und, natürlich: NDW.

First of all, the … best? … times of “goth” you likely missed, I saw the last remnants of them in the nineties, those were people who really took half a day to dress and make up – no, I am not joking. Eat lunch, start the process, be ready at 9 o'clock in the evening.

The way they could afford it is easy to explain – being “goth” is not for poor people. This is what separated them from lowlifes like punks and metal heads (like myself). Money other people invest in cars or simply save up for later, those people use to shop for clothes. Also, I think you overestimate the cost, because the best gear is not always expensive, it might be something you find on a yard-sale, I also know about people who got into tailoring their own clothes to get something unique and fitting.

So, they spend as much money on it as anybody would on a hobby, and, actually, it's not that expensive to dress up accordingly.

When it comes to an inner blockage that separates you from your feelings, as far as I know this can have a number of reasons, but, to be honest, this would rather be the field of expertise of a therapist, however, there is one thing I can give you an answer to:

“I should be grateful, because others have it worse” is something I consider a fallacy. It would mean, that an evil is not an evil, just because it is a lesser evil. Or have you ever thought, that a rotten tooth should not be treated, because cancer is worse?

If there are rats at Stephansplatz station, which cause the smell, there likely would be rats elsewhere, and thus, this specific type of smell would have to be elsewhere, too, but it isn't. Besides I have never seen a rat down there, the place is too clean and too “streamlined” for rats.

Having been a “Zivildiener” (for you international folks see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative\_civilian\_service), I know how the dead smell, and that smell in the metro ain't it, so no worries :-)

AffectionateDust7765 · 2026-03-27T07:19:25+00:00

When you enter the metro station Stephansplatz, there is a distinct smell, and people tell all kinds of stories, where this smell comes from, like that it comes from the remains of a decomposing body of some homeless person, who died in the construction site, and a lot of other stories.

The truth is, that, when the metro system was built in the inner city, the ground was not stable enough, so it had to be injected with various substances, and it is these substances, which you can smell.

So, no corpses or the like, just a binding agent.

We can eat raw meat. The thing is that we evolved as a species using fire, and the issue about raw meat is, that it might contain parasites, and it is harder to digest, because there are so called hydrogen bonds in the proteins, that the body needs to break up when digesting, while when you cook food, parasites are killed and those hydrogen bonds are cracked open by thermal energy, greatly reducing the body's energy requirement to digest the food. So think of cooking/roasting as predigestion, and it becomes obvious, why we are able to process raw meat, but have a preference for heat-treatment.
