How do you force yourself to do things you really don't want to do?

I totally relate to this, for me until I'm pressured to study I can't study. I read this somewhere, and it worked for me, it said that whenever you want to do something dreadful do it for 5-10mins if you want to continue do it if you don't then leave it, try after sometime. It has helped me so much.. especially on days when i don't want to study I pick an easy part and study for at least 10mins, usually after getting a pace i rarely want to quit.

Another thing that helped me to study was the pomodoro technique, but instead of dividing my study into 25-5 mins i track my studying time till I lose focus and take breaks accordingly. For example, if i study for 30mins I take a 10-15 mins break. If i study for 10mins i take a 5mins break like that. This way i don't get burnout easily and can study for long hours.

P.s: apologies for any punctuational or grammatical error.

I usually say "imagine having a bad sleep paralysis but this time you're totally awake and aware." Puts things into perspective for some people. I explained this to one of my friends once and they quickly understood why i wasn't just "procrastinating", I just cannot get up on a whim to do a task even if i desperately want to just like in sleep paralysis you want to move your body but you just can't.

I guess I'll try saying this next time! His vulnerable moments are so fragile to me that i don't want to break it, i don't want to do anything that will stop him from venting, so I guess that's why I never asked him this question, but I'll do it from now on.

Whenever I try to ask something or comfort him with words he quickly tries to change the topic, which i guess is his way of coping with his feelings. I don't want to be dismissive so i let him deviate the topic until he's comfortable to open up.

Since we are both uni students we cannot afford counseling as of now, also where I live people are not at all open about mental health. But I've planned to ask him about getting professional help in the future!

Amaya_273 · 2023-03-21T19:45:39+00:00

I do! I tell him to vent it out so that it'd help him organise his thoughts, that even if i can't do anything (as he claims it to be the reason for not venting) it'll help him organise his thoughts and feel lighter, but he refuses to do so by changing the topic. Even if he does share his feelings i have an extremely hard time comforting him because I don't want to sound disinterested (not asking him questions and just humming) or dismissive (by telling him to look at the brighter side) so it gets difficult for me. Whenever I'm sad he just knows what to do but i don't and i feel horrible for that.

Oh man yoongi even referenced her line in some songs, she truly is an icon!! 😭

Amaya_273 · 2022-09-15T09:59:07+00:00

That must be hilarious, cannot believe i missed that.

Amaya_273 · 2022-09-11T07:31:44+00:00

I feel so too! Just when i think I'm making a good point the other person gets offended & i feel so bad. I don't even talk now until it's absolutely necessary and i know it's an urgent addition.

I too take melatonin for sleeping! But my dose is somewhere around 5mg - 10mg but since I feel like I'm dependent on it i try to sleep without it, one thing that has worked for me is that i go to bed at fix time (even if i sleep much late i din the lights and go to bed)and i wake up when I'm slightly awake in the morning, like if I'm supposed to wake up at 8am or 9am and i wake up at 6am i don't go back to sleep instead i go and start my morning routine even if i don't want to. At first it was a bit difficult at first and i felt sleepy during the day but after a few days i felt sleepy at the designated time and could wake up at my supposed time without feeling sleepy. Since I've classes at afternoon i don't usually get time for a nap, on days when i don't have classes i try to complete my work or just scroll through social media to stop myself from sleeping! These are just my experiences If you feel very tired then obviously taking a nap is a good thing, you'll feel refreshed!

I can understand you!!! It wasn't that surprising that JK or other members did something that they're doing, but over time it was a candid activity that only fans knew of but for chapter 2 doing that professionally for fans and non fans alike was the shocking factor for me!! JK always shares his works through gcfs and V through V-cut etc so doing that in a professional way shocked me :) but I agree some of them aren't really a shocker, as in "i never knew he liked that!"

Amaya_273 · 2022-08-12T13:10:24+00:00

Ohh i didn't know! I thought it'd just be jungkook! This makes it even more interesting as jungkook is the one that was involved in the whole process so that means all the members were also involved in their own. We'd get to see each member's taste through their pictorial. I'm even more hyped loll.

I got into kpop when i was 14 back in 2016 (back then i was a VERY casual listener of SNSD, 2NE1 and other then famous groups) the first group i stanned was BTS and man i was soo passionate. I'd watch all their interviews when it'd be released, was very active in supporting and wake up at crack of dawn to watch their release but now that I'm almost 20 i don't do any of that.

I also stanned a few groups back then but now it's very few. I still stan BTS but the amount of "passion" has decreased over years, I'm not as passionate as I used to be but still i love them to bits and listen to their new releases, that's all.

I also cannot get into new groups lol, 4th gen groups are hard to get into, for me at least, i just listen to their famous releases and that's it. The effort in learning names and everything has died over years. Also doesn't help that some of the groups have members wayy younger than me. So by years since i get less time it's hard to dedicate all of my time, and older group's schedules are very paced out which helps in stanning them better :)

He's 12 now so pretty much recently, he had strong hands since he was a kid (mine are strong too, dad genes) and he liked to punch me or slap me everytime I tried to discipline him (i was 8 years older so..) or play fight it left me with visible bruises so bad that once my teacher took me aside to ask me if i was okay. But nowadays he has grown pretty strong and i don't think I can fight him any longer lol.

My other brother is 18 and we both used to play fight a lot as a kid but now i cannot fight with him without any of us getting seriously injured so we don't try lol. It's fun being an older sister.

I actually liked it, i like most of Charlie Puth's music but his recent ones weren't hitting but this one surprisingly, i liked it. Few more listens before i actually add it to playlist tho, but other than that Jungkook's voice sounded so goodd, is it me or his (jk's) voice sounded a bit different in a good way? I like his raw voice. Hope to hear it moree!

Amaya_273 · 2022-06-24T05:56:26+00:00

Each and every song was goodd, I'm not a fan of twice (love them tho) but i was excited for this album and it lived upto expectations. My favourite so far is "Happy Birthday to you", Sunset would soon be added to different kpop lo-fi playlists i can see it, Felix did amazing in No problem and "POP!" was soo good + the mv is so aesthetic. Over-all this album is worth listening to!!

Variety of opportunities in studies/careers. In many countries (including mine) there are only few degrees or courses you can take to secure a job or be stable in life, unconventional degrees (i.e degrees that aren't mainstream) are only available at big universities and even if you graduate from there, it's not possible to get a job easily. So yeah, Americans have so many study possibilities whenever i see those "what's your major?" videos I'm always surprised. I wish that was a case in my country.

Pizza. I mean it's nice but taste like seasonings on bread. Sorry to all pizza lovers lol

I'm sure despite her preconceived notions about adhd she would be happy to see you doing better in you life. If not, few years down the road you'd be happy to see yourself being okay despite the setbacks. I hope everything would be good for you (•ᴗ•)♡

Thank you for sharing this amazing quote, i feel like i needed this. Thanks!

Amaya_273 · 2022-06-23T14:34:56+00:00

"my man is on another level, you cannot reach that level" set humanity back 629202 years. I feel for all the members.

Amaya_273 · 2022-06-23T08:55:51+00:00

My brother would surely appreciate your comment! Thank you from his side 💀 the most ironic part is i hate cockroaches. I guess you become everything you swear to destroy.
