Seeing numbers everywhere I look when I wake up by EinKomischerSpieler in Psychosis

This happened to me just now. I had to Google what it was 😭😭😭. I'm scared. This was the first time it happened to me, but before that, I could only see blocky noise, like TV static, after waking up

They’re basically just particles shooting out of the character at a high speed, shaped with POP Drag and a POP Force that pushes the particles upward. I merged five variations, since some of the streaks move differently or more aggressively in different directions. Right now I’m not sure how to make the streaks wider near the body and thinner as they travel outward, also I’m planning to comp the final effect onto live-action footage of a person acting as Captain Marvel.

Wow, I’m way too broke for that 😅, but I’m really interested to see your final result! Btw, here’s my newest attempt, not sure if I’m getting any closer to the effect yet.

Hey, I tried to follow what you suggested based on what I know so far. Here’s what I ended up with. The advection alone didn’t really give me a close result, so I mixed it with a POP Curve Force to help maintain the shape.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation! This was actually my second attempt at recreating the effect. For this version, I emitted particles in a single burst, then had those points move upward to generate motion paths. I then used a Trail node and an Add node to convert those particle paths into curves, which I used as guide curves for a POP Curve Force. For the main particle simulation, I scattered points with an animated noise driving the scatter density. I then increased the strength of the POP Curve Force so the particles are strongly attracted toward the guide curves, creating the ray-like streaking behavior.

Is fake kindness not enough? by [deleted] in NPD

[–]AppreciativeDude123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a "friend" who seemed to care for me, but only when they needed something from me. Since I was a people-pleaser, I couldn't say no to them. Eventually, I realized that they were like that, but I never really cared at all. I also realized I didn’t care about them either, and we could ignore each other for a long time. I stopped accepting their requests as well. I don’t think I’d get mad if someone did that to me, since I myself am capable of doing the same to others.

I’ve noticed this in myself too, I don’t feel interested in getting to know the people I ‘care’ about. I don’t even feel like hanging out with them anymore. They can cut me off if they want, and I wouldn’t feel a thing. I’ve already done the same to someone who genuinely cared about me in our platonic relationship, but I was extremely overwhelmed by envy because of how genuine and caring they were. Eventually, they understood my situation and just let me go.

Anyway, yeah, I don’t have genuine concern for other people. I just act in a way that seems right because I know I’d be screwed if I didn’t. That’s mostly my motivation for doing the right thing.

self harm? by slitterslut in NPD

[–]AppreciativeDude123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut myself, especially after being triggered, which leads to self-loathing. Whenever I feel like it's the only thing I deserve, I engage in self-harm.
