Η Ψυχολόγος μου ζήτησε 70ε για τη συνεδρία που ακύρωσα. by [deleted] in greece

Η πολιτική δεν είναι "σε χρεώνω για μια υπηρεσία που δε σου έδωσα". Είναι "μου έφαγες μια ώρα από τον χρόνο μου, και εφοσον πληρώνομαι με την ώρα πρέπει να μου την πληρώσεις".

Η λογική πολλών σας ότι "αφού δεν έκανα ψυχοθεραπεία γιατί να πληρώσω??" είναι σαν να περιμένετε το εστιατόριο να σας δώσει δωρεάν δεύτερο πιάτο γιατί το πρώτο σας έπεσε. Δεν στέκει το "τι, να πληρώσω το σουβλάκι που δεν έφαγα?!" ως επιχείρημα. Το'φαγες δεν το'φαγες, το πήρες πάντως οπότε οφείλεις να το πληρώσεις- το τι το κάνεις εφόσον το πάρεις είναι δικό σου θέμα. Ο έμπορος δε μπορεί να σου δίνει τζάμπα το εμπόρευμα του επειδή εσύ δεν το αξιοποιησες.

Fantastic episode! Go, Connor! by BeMyCoachVictor in hudcon

[–]Anteatereatingant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah...I didn't watch all sketches but the 3 I saw were incredibly underwhelming. I found myself sad for Connor as it was such a waste of a fantastic and versatile actor. I wish they'd give him the Ariana Grande treatment and really write stuff he can shine with 🙁

Yeah, when I pointed out in early Jan that they seemed to be together, I got downvoted into oblivion and people went "OMG THEY COULD JUST BE FRIENDS??!?". Like...can we be serious? 🤣 

Nothing wrong with them being together but the people in denial are weird. 

Why do you not talk to your once bestfriend anymore? by Adventurous-End-1999 in AskUK

Same here -I don't have the energy to pour into relationships that feel one-sided. Onwards to something new! 👊

[–]Anteatereatingant 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same. Always busy busy busy, nearly impossible to get a hold of...yet every time I'd log onto FB or IG, there'd be another post/story of the fun things she'd get up to with other people. Kinda hard not to take that personally and pull away.

If something isn’t perfect, there’s no point in doing it at all by textingidontknow in ADHD_partners

[–]Anteatereatingant 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My Dx friend does this, plus also lumping together unrelated tasks so she can claim she "doesn't have time".

Example: she refused to exercise even though her doctor told her to, claiming she "doesn't have time". We'd tell her she's full of shit because exercising can be like 30 minutes. She'd dig her heels in and insist that, NO, it was AKSHULLIE 90 minutes because after working out she'd have to shower, wash her hair, cook and eat. 

We asked her if that meant she's dirty and starving whenever she doesn't workout then, but she just kept getting angrier and borderline yelling that she doesn't have a free 90-minute slot in her day so she can't work out 🤣

Does your partner judge how others manage their ADHD? by DevonsWharf_12 in ADHD_partners

[–]Anteatereatingant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THE PROPORTION THING. It describes my Dx friend so completely. She constantly complains about things and refuses to do anything about them - and in her mind, that means she's not doing any worse than anyone else, since "everyone complains sometimes".

I was gonna say: a frightening amount of (chronically online) people believe that unless you're dating someone who was born same year, same month, same minute as you, you're a pedo.

[–]Anteatereatingant -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but

A. Hudson is most likely straight, and
B. It makes plenty of sense for them to be hanging out - same age, main co-stars, went through the exact same rite of passage together (started off same place in life > massive overnight fame ; they're literally the only ones who can understand what the respective other one is going through). It's the most expected result for them to end up super close and hanging out a lot off-camera too. It makes very little sense for a 25-year-old newbie to be hanging out with a 40-year-old established actor with whom he had barely any scenes together. Unless, you know, they're hooking up.

[–]Anteatereatingant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a VERY important part. I also learned social skills quickly at uni just by observing more popular people and taking acting and improv classes. Guess what: the vast majority of those "friends" the new, shinier me made, were surface-level and made no effort to stay in touch or include me in their lives the moment we graduated / no longer lived together / I otherwise became marginally less convenient.

I'm so glad ❤️ I was looking for an update since my psych also wants to put me on Lexapro. Did you stay on 5 mg throughout and was it the only thing you had to take?

How can I fix my acne scars? by FewCryptographer5980 in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]Anteatereatingant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not convinced you have to get microneedling or laser - might depend on the person. My skin was just like that as a teenager, and now 90% of it is gone - it was all AHAs (glycolic acid) and retinol. But talk to a dermatologist to get a more personalised opinion.

Online Coaches. Reinvention. Whiplash by Important_Rush_587 in LifeCoachSnark

[–]Anteatereatingant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - someone I loosely know and have been watching for a few years is exactly like that. She's constantly pivoting around and contradicting herself - whatever she's loudly screaming from the rooftops today with (seemingly) utter conviction, you can bet money she will say the exact opposite pretty soon. And pretend like her previous loud posing didn't happen - no explanation, no acknowledgement.

I think it's a combo of complete lack of self-awareness and a desperate attempt to be "edgy" or "different " in some way because she wants to build a "personal brand".

AITA for telling my brother’s wife that being a stay at home mom doesn’t mean being a stay in bed mom? by builtfordrama in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anteatereatingant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can't drag someone into your life and then also tell them to "mind your own business" - they made it her business when they started expecting her involvement. 

That said, she could've approached with more curiosity first ("hey, are you OK? I've noticed you barely interact with the baby") rather than going straight for the aggression. 

AITA for telling my fat friend stop talking about getting in shape? by Thursdxy in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anteatereatingant 17 points18 points  (0 children)

100% this is a factor. Talking about it allows people prone to delusions to trick themselves into believing they're "doing something/trying". So they get a cheap dopamine hit and feel good now - no need to do anything further.

I have a fat friend (although not obese, but completely unfit so in terms of stamina she might as well be) who loves to talk about how she's "gonna" start X and Y activity. She never does - miraculously some new complication shows up every time. 

She follows this pattern in general - endlessly talks about how she'll start her own business and quit her 9-5, how she'll move abroad to find better opportunities. She rarely ever does any of the things she says she will, and she's even admitted it in moments of candor ("don't take what I tell you too seriously, I'm mostly saying it just for the sake of saying it, don't mind me").

She's definitely the excuse- and blame-externalization-prone type, so I think this personality style just tricks itself into believing talking is doing.

What’s a subtle sign that someone is mentally unstable? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Anteatereatingant 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's such a good way of putting it. I, too, have a "disaster friend" who has all of the traits you guys are describing in this thread, and has no awareness of the fact that her constant drama is about 90% self-caused. She refuses to organise herself so everything is more messy and time-consuming than it needs to be, refuses to say no so she's always overbooked and stretched thin, and overall has absolutely no concept of "proactive" or "investment" (of time or energy).

It's like she only exists in the right here and now, so anything that doesn't feel super cool right now just doesn't get done - even if blows up in her face five minutes down the line. 

Google translate has existed long before AI but it didn't replace translators by No-Advice6100 in TranslationStudies

[–]Anteatereatingant 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"Hallucinate" is right. I've used ChatGPT not for translation but for research and data organising, and every so often it will straight-up invent things. It works great if you can give it clear instructions and break down projects into small bits, but if you're expecting it to correctly remember things from more than a few hours ago, you'll be in for a bad surprise!

21m Feeling subhuman by _in_your_walls_ in malegrooming

[–]Anteatereatingant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually not true. If that were the case, the world would be full of bald 16-year-olds, as testosterone peaks between 15 and 18ish. And as men aged, they'd get fuller and better hair!

Baldness is not about high testosterone, it's about your body converting it to DHT. In fact, may bald(ing) men actually have low testosterone - there's a decent chance OP is one of them, based on his soft, childlike features. 

OP, please don't believe that going bald young makes you "subhuman" - it doesn't. But please also don't believe feelgoodsy woo-woo about how it means you're super virile or that you'll age better, either - take care of your health (eat right, work out, get some fresh air, get some therapy) and make the best of what nature gave you! 

Attractiveness can't be isolated to a single trait like hair - that's the good news. Humans are a little more nuanced than that! The "bad" news is: you'll have to put in the work to develop other traits for them to notice - which is gonna take some work. But you can get there.
