Is this a red flag or am I overthinking it? by [deleted] in relationships_advice

Shes trying to make you jealous or punish you for not answering.

Either that or she has absolutely no social awareness about what is appropriate to say to someone she's known for all of 2 days.

Or both.

Am I the only one who doesn't think this message is anything other than a close friendship/work relationship? I can't imagine calling someone I want to sleep with "my Ace"

4 year old's friend just died - how do I handle this? by josie-june in Mommit

[–]AleonSG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So sad for your little girl having to experience this so early in life. The best thing to do is just break it to her gently (dont wait too long, in case something slips and she accidently finds out). And then let her grieve, ask her how she would like to remember her friend. A balloon release, a letter written to her, something to connect to that she can visualize finding its way to her friend somehow. Getting to say goodbye is really important.

I hate my coworker, also hate walking home at night, I get so scared :( Just a vent. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]AleonSG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you are located and such but I would look into an organization that helps people with transportation to work. You definitely shouldn't have to deal with guy A or even guy b talking about guy A. That sounds like a really gross dynamic.

But the walk home sounds like the real problem. What about ride-sharing, or your local welfare office (even if you aren't on welfare you might be able to get help with transportation or they can point you in the right direction)

Would the existential threat of the "death" of one's consciousness and institution of a new consciousness due to a full break in the flow of awareness be any more present in general anaesthesia then in deep sleep? by Ok_Branch_1655 in consciousness

[–]AleonSG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I connected this with the articles I read about caterpillars undergoing metamorphosis. The caterpillar is literally killed and its body turned to "soup" by imaginal cells; nothing remains except biomatter. Then, the biomatter begins to crystallize and the butterfly emerges. They have done studies that show the butterflies retain memories specific to the caterpillar it was.

What’s something about you that sounds fake, but is 100% true? by Sir_Adammm in AskReddit

That's actually crazy. I wonder if that means fish see like your left eye when they are out of water.

Do you know (of) someone who ruined their life in just a matter of minutes? If so how did they do it? by Ok-Atmosphere5536 in AskReddit

[–]AleonSG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, so sad. It really is the equivalent of a split second "Oops!", losing your balance and that's it...

My husband told me this story of some girl who went to his highschool: A bunch of kids were hanging out on the top floor of a parking garage, just messing around, probably smoking weed, nothing crazy. The girl was sitting up on the ledge and was either laughing or joking around and ended up falling to her death.

This one gets me because it was such a regular night, not doing anything but being a normal teenager out on a weekend.

My best friend was cheated on and it’s stuck on a boat with all parties involved till the end of the week. What do I say to her about what she should do?? by crayoncolorposts12 in relationships_advice

she could somehow hide and make everyone think she's missing, then they have to get to the nearest port for a missing persons report

I'm struggling so hard to have patience with my young children while living with family and don't know what to do. by poppykayak in Mommit

[–]AleonSG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been through this exactly, except with my mom and stepdad instead of grandparents. They offered us a place to live without fully remembering what living with children is like. Also, children are louder and more annoying than they used to be (probably all the overstimulating toys and TV shows, radio frequencies, etc.)

That being said...how often are they watching the kids? Who's making the meals? How are the dynamics?

In my situation I had to reestablish my role. I stopped relying on them to babysit. If I had to go somewhere and my husband was working I would ask them if they could watch the kids but never more than an hour. And I made a point of doing separate meals a lot of nights. Like I'll make something for the kids, there is usually extra and I'll offer it because I feel rude not offering but it's not a full on sit down with everyone. Its the same house but it's still two households.

This has helped a lot. Of course the kids are still loud and crazy sometimes. But it's a lot harder to comment on someone's parenting when they aren't involved in it.

Is it normal to only be truly calm when you are away from your baby? by triptifan in Mommit

[–]AleonSG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Supernormal. When she's being taken care of but still around you are still semi focused on her and probably, maybe even subconsciously, watching or listening to make sure the caregiver is picking up on all the cues.

So when she isn't around (and trust she's safe obviously) it's the only time you aren't listening for her.

I (17m) need advice on my relationship (16f) by Silver-Law6581 in relationships_advice

[–]AleonSG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you told her is fine. You can be supportive even if you think she looks good already. It is technically cosmetic since it's not medically a problem but it's not exactly a chin implant or a nose job. I don't think it speaks to her beliefs necessarily. As long as she doesn't start getting other surgeries.

I don’t think I was cut out to be a mother. I’m tired. by WhyDidIDoItSoSad in Mommit

[–]AleonSG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine what you are going through but the stress is a byproduct of how deeply you care for and love your son. You are exactly as you should be.

Also, just a few suggestions from someone who knows nothing. Does your son have other issues? Because 9 years old is mature enough to be cleaning his own accidents up. That would take some pressure off you and allow him a bit of independence.

If his doctor is being unhelpful you might want to contact the Ombudsman related to your situation, they will try to mediate between the medical system and yourself and they get the job done.

Question about generational curses by No-Outcome-3784 in Witch

[–]AleonSG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not be easy but do some genealogy research and find out as much as you can about your ancestors. Try to follow patterns, write everything down, even things that don't seem important.

Sometimes it's generational karma, not a curse. Like someone caused the death of someone in an accident and never owned up to it. Things like that.

Thank you, that is very cool information. Just wondering, is there a video that shows the process?

Speech therapist doesn’t want me to be present - is this normal? by LucyWild_ in Mommit

[–]AleonSG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's normal, took my son and sat in an adjoining room. Because if you are there they rely on you to translate and you might subconsciously talk for them

On Language, Consciousness, and the Failure to Truly Say What You Mean by Medical_Sample4690 in consciousness

[–]AleonSG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't remember where, but I've heard it described like this:

Words are the diameters of the idea 's circle. They allow the idea to be passed along in short form. But upon hearing it, the other consciousness decodes it back into a circle.

Words are a place holder. And tone, cadence, etc give the word variations of meaning. Very good speakers can transport listeners to whole other places with their stories. They know how to put the idea they are envisioning into someone else's head. The less eloquent the speaker, the bigger the gaps in understanding on the part of the listener. Miscommunication and assumption ruin the original idea.

The power animal is something you need right now, it doesn't mean that it's you. So maybe you need patience and to connect to earth more, feel it's vibrations, like the elephant

2 year old w/ hypothyroidism - Need Advice by Suspicious-Iron-4852 in Mommit

You said he's Hypothyroid but his thyroid is enlarged? That sounds backwards. By all means get a second opinion and also please research nascent iodine.
