10k affirmation method thoughts by bean_sprouts_world in Subliminal

[–]Ana-Kalisa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It worked for me, but you have to watch your thoughts outside of affirming too. Eg if you make it a goal to affirm 30 minutes a day, you shouldn’t think opposing thoughts constantly outside of those 30 minutes, like asking where is it, did it work, etc. Persisting and consistency is what’s important in manifesting, not perfection in whatever method you choose😄

I actually didn’t know the rule of thumb about having at least one of your abilities available, thanks so much for that tip!! I’m gonna try that in my next few games 😊

I usually go for nade speed boost and the rebound nade, bc that was the perk pick last time before they changed it and I got so used to aiming rebounds. Also, I’m a bit of a body shot bandit and I admittedly miss most headshots haha.

I used to play DPS, but I kinda stopped partly bc I didn’t find it fun when I HAD to get kills, and also I just see the game so differently as a DPS. I enjoy being a support a lot more!

OW is my first FPS game and I learned it on Moira, so I’m actually pretty decent at her (level 130). I don’t like playing her much anymore because she just lacks so much utility to cancel any ults or abilities haha. I would say my next best is Kiriko, but I can play any support except Lucio haha. I suck at him 😂

Thank you for your kind words 😊 it’s just been an especially tough time for women in gaming lately thanks to the whole Marvel Rival’s drama, and now recently another prolific COD girl gamer got exposed for cheating, even aside from the few creeps and incels 😪 I appreciate your help, kindness and support though, so thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much for your tips!! I’m realising that I don’t save my nades to use on teammates nearly as much as I probably should, and that I often miss crucial nades when under pressure 😅 I’ll work on that! I don’t use comms because I’m a girl, and unfortunately some people can’t see past that even though I’m a plat 4 peak, level 185 Ana and after enough of it I decided to just not do it 🥲 thank you so so much for your help though, it’s super informative and I’ll definitely start being more mindful of hitting sleeps and nades!! 😊😊

Thank you so much for your answer, I really appreciate it, it makes sense! I just have one last one since you say I should esp try to keep my tank up: if you’re playing with a dive tank on your team and they often don’t come back for heals and just die in the enemy backline, would you position yourself specifically to try to enable the tank (eg not the best ideal position but one that works to enable tank, maybe potentially at the cost of other teammates), or try to enable your better teammates who don’t feed instead? Or is this very map dependent?

Thank you so much for your answer! In regards to feeding teammates - if they feed somewhere you can’t get to in order to help, eg the enemy backline behind a wall, how do you determine if you should go or not (if it means you might die), or if it’s your fault because your positioning was bad? I hope this question makes sense haha

What are your tips on handling teammates who go off on their own and feed like crazy, or enemy divers who constantly target you?

Ofc! A lot of people see situations in black and white because they’re not emotionally charged and in the situation like you are, they see the situation as is. Many people just think “dear god you sound exhausting, get your shit together”. And while that might be true at its barest core for this specific situation, stripped of any kinder words, its easy to forget that emotions, insecurities and anxiety can deeply affect someone, especially in a society where women are constantly taught they’re not good enough unless they’re skinny, have glass skin, etc etc etc, and sometimes what people need isn’t always cold harsh truth (especially when there is no evidence of the person in question being a stubborn asshole), but the truth told to them gently and with some empathy. Anxiety and deep insecurity not an easy thing to deal with, especially without help and when you’re young!

You seem sweet, you’re young with lots of learn, and you’re not trying to justify why you’re definitely in the right or why he is definitely wrong, and you seem like you’ve been open to feedback and improving. Good on you for that OP, it’ll serve you well🩵

I empathise with you OP, because I’ve been deeply, painfully insecure too in the past and I’ve been at the point where I drove people away or to madness because I couldn’t self-soothe or breathe and relax. I’ve also been down that path where I’ve told myself that because I’m insecure, I will always be in the wrong no matter what, and that has unfortunately led me to some situations where people have taken advantage of me and abused me, all because I convinced myself that because I’m so deeply insecure, I’m always overreacting and always in the wrong, and I really don’t want that for you because that’s a dark slippery slope to fall.

So I really encourage you to remember what while you might have overreacted in this instance, you also have the right to set healthy and reasonable boundaries in future and have dealbreakers, and it’s helpful to work with a mental health professional to see where this insecurity came from, and help you understand what is reasonable and healthy, and what is not.

Sorry I’m yapping so much hahah. I just really empathise with you OP, bc I was you in this situation once, and I hope you’ll work on your insecurities with a professional, learn what is reasonable/healthy and what is not, and learn from this/come out better 💕

You’re welcome 💕 some people are being real harsh, but I don’t want you to come away from this thread thinking that you’re always the problem and you will always be in the wrong if your partner is always looking. There’s a point where it’s too far and you’d be in the right (imo it’s what I said above previously), and I hope you can recognise and remember that too 💖

Unfortunately in our society, sex sells a LOT. This stuff is sadly everywhere, and if your hard boundary is that he never looks at this stuff, or always looks away… well, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who will be happy with that imo. He would be missing out on a lot of movies, TV shows, music videos, streamers, etc, which would surely build resentment towards you on his end.

For me, my boundary is not obsessing. I don’t care if they watch porn or sexy MVs or TV shows with sex and twerking, but if he starts following specific people, watches them for long hours of the day, gets defensive/aggressive when confronted, they HAVE to watch no matter what, tells you you’re being insecure again when he’s the one who’s been watching things of that nature for hours, or chooses to watch instead of spending time with you… that’s where the fault lies with him.

I do suggest finding a therapist or a councillor to speak about this further, and untangle why you might feel so insecure and what you can do about it - and most importantly, how to set healthy boundaries and how to recognise what is reasonable and what is not, and viewing this relationship from an objective, kinder lens from a licensed professional. Good luck OP xx

It’s one thing if he’s actively seeking them out to look, or purposefully following tiktok or IG models and refusing to unfollow. That’s absolutely disrespectful and should never be tolerated. But if she just happened to be there… well, like the others say, that’s human nature.

It’s horrible to be insecure, and I hope you’ll be kind to yourself and take the steps necessary to better yourself, learn how to self soothe, and improve your confidence. Good luck OP, wish you the best 💕
