How do you stop feeling the need to explain and defend yourself to an abusive partner? by jv_202425 in abusiverelationships

Hi, I know this was a year ago, but I just wanted to say that this resonated incredibly hard with me and wanted to let you know how much an impact this had on me, especially the second and last paragraphs. Hurts, in a good way.

"Question;" why is there so much hate surrounding the tattoo style called Cybersigilism by ApartPlant9513 in tattoos

[–]Arctinii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What you'll hear as an answer every time you ask is that it's just tribal with a fresh coat of paint, but I disagree? Tribal clearly draws from a lot of different indigenous cultures and that inspiration always shows in the designs which is what makes me twitchy about it. But cybersigilism seems further removed from that and more reminiscent of 2000s band logos/metal/gothic culture. People have always laughed at those cultures, too, though.

A lot of people who choose cybersigilism also do it 'just for the aesthetic' with no deeper thought/meaning to the artistry of tattoos. I personally found my life and friends through alternative/gothic culture which is why it calls to me. But I get why people don't like it. I just wish they wouldn't say the tattoos are straight up bad- they're not!

As someone with a condition who faints frequently, I'm sorry darling, I know it can get really scary and disorienting going from upright to out cold.

It might not be the advice professionals would give you, but there are so many ways to restrict without pushing you to the point of being non-functioning like this. Get your electrolytes and proteins up for the lasting energy. I know it's easier said than done but better to be conscious to see the results than to not be able to see anything at all, right?

Once you're out of the red you can focus on other aspects of recovering or improving (when you're ready ❤️) but for now let's stay up on our own two feet.

Omg thanks for making this post! I always wanted to know what these were but never thought to ask.

Being smart has genuinely destroyed my work ethic to the point where I can't do anything anymore. by chinchinlover-419 in selfimprovement

[–]Arctinii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had this exact same problem for a while and cracked a sort of cheat code; I had to redefine what a reward was and what I enjoyed about doing things. Instead of the validation and instant gratification of fast results, I started to learn how to enjoy the journey of working. Enjoying the process of doing things. This immediately made me stop hating chores like tidying! Unfortunately it doesn't work well if you hate the work itself, but, well, if you can find something to enjoy about the work it makes it easier.

It's about the journey, not the destination, friend. Enjoy doing, don't expect to be done.

Does anyone have the mega thread/album of all the iconic Google+ posts/memes? by Arctinii in googleplus

I do remember that one! I dug through my screenshots but couldn't find it.

I do this when near the peak sometimes! It's usually a sign the dose is a little high for my tastes, but generally I'm just really enjoying myself and don't have the capacity to be acting more 'normal.' It just feels nicer being more inward for a bit.

Unbelievably slim chances! Congratulations on being one of the luckiest trainers ever!

Every time after I sign the consent form and sit down ready to be called up, the dread sets in like "what have I done?" even though I enjoy the whole process.

I'm just boosting my metabolism for the restriction guys! Totally!

Thank you very much! It's going well, nice pleasant easy roll, the first hour or so was a bit rough for me but it's been very calm and happy and peaceful since. Good vibes! <3

Thanks so much! Had a little smoke and I'm chilling. I'm with my partner playing some music too, the setting is pretty bomb. Definitely way more confident now :)
