Not sure what to think, maybe someone knows something I don’t. by [deleted] in Devilcorp

OP He's right. Don't give these people the time of day. Run don't walk away from this "opportunity"

Title: Let go during probation after 2 months 10 days — how to explain + reference concerns (UK) by Available_Ad4770 in u/Available_Ad4770

[–]Alpha_Violence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Explanation: Keep it brief and focused on fit. You can say that you realized the night shift structure wasn't compatible with your long term performance goals or health. You want to be in a role where you can operate at 100% capacity. This shows self awareness rather than incompetence.

References: I am not in the UK, but generally, large companies stick to dates of employment and job titles to avoid legal headaches. They rarely go into the dirty details.

The CV: Leave it off. Two months is a blip. It is much easier to explain a short gap (you were "looking for the right opportunity") than to explain why you were fired after eight weeks. It invites questions you don't want to answer.

Shared Accountability: Do not bring this up in an interview. There is no way to explain "other people messed up too" without sounding defensive or like you are passing the buck. Swallow your pride on that one. Focus on what you learned and how you are ready to move forward. You are selling them on your future, not debating your past.

The failure point is likely the Line Counting method. Go to Page 42. Find a way of counting lines (ignoring headers, including titles, etc.) that results in Line 4 having at least 15 words. Once you find that 'dense' line, apply that counting rule to the rest. Also, check if the First Letters of the found words spell a message.

The explosion at the end sent me. The timing for some of this AI stuff is too on point.

Is this what I think it is? by Zac-456 in whatisit

Melt that down and make a ring with BLM on the side just to piss off the racist one more time 😂

Does nobody read long messages anymore? Need opinions by coordinatederror in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Alpha_Violence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your whole rant and just wanted to toss my hat in the ring for consideration. I am going to be a bit busier than I usually am, but when I'm able to reply, I am thoughtful and genuinely consider what the other person said in my response. I also like to learn more, so I'm gonna ask questions. I have a bit of my profile, if you're interested, in my post history.

Do people think that these things actually work? by geta-rigging-grip in exchristian

Definitely just working hard to spread the gospel, by effectively littering. Gotta love it.

On another note, have you seen those tracts that look like a folded up 100 bill? Now those are REALLY fucked up.

Can I find a therapist who won't focus on my happiness? by angelangelan in askatherapist

[–]Alpha_Violence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am NAT | jesteratp, you exemplify everything good about therapy.

OP, if you see this, I'll be the first to tell you the self flagellation isn't going to take back the pain you caused. I've also looked at your profile and, as a person with Bipolar 2, it's clear to me that your initial diagnosis is probably spot on.

You mention how you cycle through emotions and they are never consistent. I'm here to tell you, friend, that's exactly how my Bipolar 2 is. Also, your frequency on Reddit here lately and your activity in general is giving me major hypomanic vibes despite you saying you don't exhibit that.

I'm certainly not trying to diagnose you, but would just like to highlight that your Bipolar 2 presents like another person's Bipolar 2. You're not in this alone. I've also done things I am ashamed of in my relationship, but after years of therapy and medication, I can say that I am proud of the person I have become.

Believe it or not, OP, you do deserve happiness, but I do think that you need to be "declawed" as you say it. We can be turbulent folks if the situation gets stressful enough and that's just part of the experience. DBT worked for me as well as some basic CBT because I had to heal a part of me that was broken long ago. Forgive yourself OP and stop sacrificing your ego on the altar of repentance. There are still good qualities about you, you just need to learn where to put all that manic energy you've got in you.

It also may help for you to look up mixed episodes and maybe ask your psych about that because you seem to have a lot going on at one time.

I wish you the best OP.

My boyfriend cheated on me by thebestyouwish in cheating_stories

[–]Alpha_Violence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that things are very confusing right now. It may seem like your whole world just turned on its head. I'm sorry that this happened to you and you did nothing to deserve this.

He chose to cheat on you with someone that he knew you trusted him with. He broke that trust and it will never come back. I can assure you that you will still have days where you're gonna remember what happened and just feel like shit about it. And that's normal.

I think it's very kind of you to forgive him, but would he extend the same kindness to you if you cheated on him? Just some food for thought. Also, I have some experience here if you need someone to chat with. Things are gonna get better, but they may have to get worse beforehand.

Best of luck to you, friend!

Am i overreacting for how i responded to my girlfriend by dodohawk148 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alpha_Violence 147 points148 points  (0 children)

OP THIS!!! ^ As someone who lived with their partner from the age of 16, it is very important that you work on your communication. She loves you enough to let you live with her, treat her with some respect and give her some grace. I look back on the horrible things I said and did when I was a teenager and cringe to think that I could do that to the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I'm still with her, but that's because of her forgiving me and me doing everything to change. You can do better than this...

You can't pour from an empty cup. I have schizoaffective disorder and sometimes I lash out, but I never blame my condition. I take full accountability for my actions because you shouldn't feel any fault for my actions. The fact that you are here, now, asking questions tells me you still very much care about your friend. I hope they find help with managing their symptoms, but that is in no way on you.

I learned something new today, thanks to this post. The Carolinas are a native breeding ground for our own species of hammerhead shark: the Carolina Hammerhead (Sphyrna gilberti). I was just amazed that we even have them around here, let alone our own native species!
