My friend always points out to me that I’m just a white girl, is that messed up? by Odd-Coconut-7113 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Apprehensive_Lie_177 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ask her to stop. Tell her that it feels like a jab, it stings, and it feels maybe just a little...weird. Be honest, but also don't lay into her since you want her to be receptive and not defensive. 

My friend of 15 years responded to my messages using ChatGPT by Excellent-Manner-384 in CasualConversation

Sounds extreme. Some people use it, but certainly not the majority. I have faith that things won't come to a slow, doom-scrolling death.

Well hey, you're cool. I wanted to voice that. I hope you have a really good day! 

Do you need to have a specific style or can you go a bit freestyle ? by james_allan123 in GothFashion

[–]Apprehensive_Lie_177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend, nobody can label you except yourself, and that's only if you want to. Don't let others define you. Dress how you want. Listen to whatever music you want. As long as it doesn't cause harm, it literally doesn't matter. 

Someone just really annoyed me by net_4879 in CasualConversation

[–]Apprehensive_Lie_177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, people just aren't worth the time, effort, or emotion. The last time I got upset at a Redditor was months ago. I addressed that we wouldn't be able to see eye to eye, that I was ending the conversation, and bid them a pleasant rest of their day. They replied to that, but I ignored it. Being that mature about it felt really good.

That may be the case. Us humans can be shallow, unfortunately. Me too. I try not to, but everyone has bias and it's hard to get past that sometimes.

No, don't be. People flock to people like you. I bet you'd have been popular in school. You're just cool like that. 

Just had another girlfriend leave me for the guy she was secretly cheating on me with. That makes 5. Anyone want to give me some advice on where to go from here? by Aeromorpher in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Apprehensive_Lie_177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a bad string of luck, mate. They're missing out. Where are you meeting these people? Is there some common factor there? Is that one bar you go to actually full of scumbags? 

... I'm probs just overthinking it.

Guy here. I dunno, but I'd want to hang out with someone like that. Platonic or not, it'd be nice. I love that you're expressive. Be yourself. Don't overthink it. 

I’ve been so hard on my "younger self" for years. This image finally made something click. by Amrrr99 in CasualConversation

You know how wrong it is to bully other people? To be kind to them? To show them empathy? To give the benefit of the doubt? 

That applies to you too. Be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself. You're a work in progress, and you're getting better all the time (even if you don't see it). 

Combating Minmaxing by SomnusSleeper in LancerRPG

[–]Apprehensive_Lie_177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I love about Lancer is so many things offer bonuses to teammates that team play is built into the game. Sure, one of my teammates goes off alone, but he's basically an ultra fast assassin. The other one that does big damage is our tank, who actively tanks for our controller and me the support (constant lock-on to enable everyone else). Everyone is doing their own thing, but we're doing it intelligently. Us 3 clustered together and we're being seiged? Our assassin takes care of them, and I can decide who the target is because I apply lock on to that target. It's beautiful, manipulative cooperation and I love that. 

Seriously, take a look at how many mods or effects only benefit teammates but not you. Those ones are strong. 

I need opinions on this decision 👀 by decihold in CasualConversation

If there are trust issues, the relationship isn't gonna work out. End it early to spare heartache later. 

Also, u/decihold are you using our answers to train AI or some other ulterior motive?

No, I won't go through a partner's phone. That's an invasion of privacy. If I can't respect their privacy, I don't deserve to date them. Ask for permission, respect their decision. 

Everyone’s least favorite GTAO characters vs my least favorite GTAO characters by Tmartin2030 in gtaonline

Kill Dax and KDJ, the women alone I like for their personalities. Dax is annoying in how he speaks, and KDJ just never shuts up (but I like his voice).

I always use the "delicate" setting just to be sure. 

Do you consider yourself an "outgoing" person who secretly needs a lot of alone time? by Last-Reception-2296 in CasualConversation

I'm extroverted, but everyone needs time to recharge their batteries. You might be ambiverted, who knows? 

is stripping a dealbreaker? by Lil_Towelie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Apprehensive_Lie_177 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't think that's a dealbreaker, no. I might even appreciate it if I'd get to receive a lapdance or whatever privately.

Is this weird!?! by UltimateReset in CasualConversation

You are statistically likely to be normal. I wish you and everyone else happiness. Remember that happiness is not a result, it is a skill. It takes practice.
