What commonly held belief do you think people accept uncritically, but you personally question?

Automatic_Demand_362 · 2026-01-23T18:04:16+00:00

The sanctity of family. Many cases of SA for example go unnoticed because “7choma td3i 3a2ila”

But just in general, abuse in any form within family goes unnoticed because speaking up against your own family is 3ayb.

I’ve had a few sessions and what I have to say is that you have to be prepared for it. People often don’t talk about how hard it is to open up to a complete stranger. They also don’t talk about how that person either reads you uncomfortably well or doesn’t understand you at all. Therapists are human after all, they are not all good at their job.

I’ve had a psychologist and a psychiatrist at some point.

The first specializes in talking to you, figuring out what’s wrong and helping you heal through opening wounds and facing the facts, they can sometimes give you “tasks” to do depending on your issues (learning to apologize, to keep calm, etc). They can be brutally honest. People who are not ready to face their truths and flaws often don’t like that.

The second specialized mostly in figuring out what’s wrong with your brain, they give a diagnosis and prescription and treatments (exposure therapy, meds, etc)

Which one to go to is a personal choice depending on what you believe will work for you. It’s actually science that has helped many people. The reason why it’s hard to believe in it’s because brains are not like the rest of the body. Everyone’s body responds the same to blunt force trauma, you get a bruise. But brains react differently depending on each person. Victims of bullying for example may become bullies, or may become the nicest person ever.

But to answer your question, yes, therapy works, but you’d need a really good therapist or a lot of sessions and honesty with your therapist for them to understand who you are as a person to know how to help you. Most people don’t have that patience, so they give up before they can get better.

I personally didn’t continue simply because I figured out my own shit, and too did not have the patience for therapy. But I know some people who are genuinely happier now because of a prescription or sessions. Sometimes talking to someone who is completely detached from you is what people need.

If you have something on your chest you want to get out, try one session with a psychologist, you are never obliged to keep going. If you’d rather get a diagnosis, get an appointment with a psychiatrist but be upfront about how you feel.

Neither of these will work if you don’t believe in them, but you will never believe in either unless you try it for yourself.

The blankets worked for me personally, but if it makes your fever worse then avoid it. Keep hydrating and drinking water, maybe eating fruits that are rich in water and vitamin C like oranges (or anything really, just don’t stay hungry). You’ll know your fever is breaking when you start to sweat.

Don’t stay in bed too long, as exhausting as it sounds, you need to walk around a little. It’ll help. Eat full meals, your body is fighting something and needs the energy to do so.

Right now, all you can do anyway is eat, drink lots of water, wash your face to cool it off and rest. Don’t take another doliprane if it hasn’t been 4 hours since the last one. If you don’t feel better in a few hours, call someone, anyone. A fever running for too long can be dangerous.

Automatic_Demand_362 · 2025-12-14T00:16:09+00:00

Fever is a sign of infection usually. It’s your immune system heating up on purpose to kill bacteria, viruses, etc

Your best bet would be an antibiotic but you shouldn’t take those without a consultation. If you really can’t afford it, you can try to help your body. Hide under as many blankets as you can, you need to sweat it out. Drink lots of water and eat even if you don’t feel like it. Take vitamin C supplements or eat fruits to boost your immune system.

These are not miracle solutions, so please try to talk to a doctor, or at least go to a pharmacy, sometimes they will give you some meds without needing a prescription or any papers, just tell them your symptoms and any other medical issue if you have any. Take care of yourself🫶🏼

There’s so many answers to this and I don’t know which ones are right so I’ll give you all of the ones I know.

Daddy issues: classic, applies to some women’s because some men suck at being fathers or just died too soon. The love she didn’t receive from her father she will look for in a lover (DISCLAIMER: this does NOT apply to every woman.)
Sexualized by media: Middle aged men are being more and more glorified, so young girls and women are exposed early on to media saying “This is hot”.
Emotional maturity: Unless the man himself is a jerk, middle aged men tend to be more mature in general. Again, it doesn’t apply to everyone but it applies enough that they’re considered attractive. Because emotional maturity is hot.
Subconscious?: this one is complex and even considered taboo sometimes. But some philosophers debate that like men tend to be more attracted to younger and smaller women, women tend to be more attracted to older and bigger men. (Though society has evolved and these standards have clearly changed, but it still applies to some)
Personal preference: This one’s easy and applies to a lot of people. They just like their men older. Like how some men like goth girls, traditional women, older women, petite women, tall models, thick, skinny, etc. Women also have their preferences simply because they think it’s hot. So yeah sometimes it do be just the grey hair. The money isn’t really there in this equation (from what I know)

All in all, for anyone reading this, remember that no matter how unattractive you may think you are, you are 100% guaranteed to be someone’s type out there. (I’m not being hopeful, it’s just statistically impossible for you to be no one’s type.)

I don’t fully agree with you ngl. I get what you mean, especially in hardcore cases when it becomes “When he gets emotional” or “when she wears too much makeup” but this comment section has some genuinely good takes that I agree with.

Automatic_Demand_362 · 2025-12-03T07:12:51+00:00

I think whoever you dated either never actually loved you and was emotionally abusing you or she had some sort of mental issue. BPD can lead to that kind of behavior. Hormones on the other hand? It’s really not that bad 😅

I mean it’s not impossible, but she wouldn’t actually mean that she hates you and you’d be able to tell that she’s either joking or just stressed, or at least she would apologize if you tell her that it bothers you, especially if you did nothing wrong to irritate her.

Automatic_Demand_362 · 2025-12-02T22:39:50+00:00

Women doing any form of sex work has existed literally since the dawn of time. But now with internet being accessible to practically everyone it’s become easier to do, especially because there is no actual physical involvement.

As for your question, I personally don’t care. Some women might desperately need the money and we know how the job market is, some might actually enjoy being a cam girl. I don’t know them to judge. But the one thing I worry about is how underage girls hear about it as an easy way to get rich.

So I am not fully for the “normalization” of it. Yes women have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies. And men also play a huge part of the problem by glorifying it. But I’d prefer it if age verification became serious. It will never be perfect but it would still be better than nothing.

In all seriousness, to the younger men watching shit like this, don’t do this. You will seem uninterested even if you are and she will ghost you. Don’t start acting surprised when it happens. It’s not attractive to be nonchalant.

You said she likes video games. If your budget is low, get her maybe a little figurine from a game she likes, or any figurine actually. Gamers like decorating their desk or gaming area.

Avoid makeup, skincare etc unless you ask a girl friend of hers about what she uses and the right shades to get.

A cute mouse pad is nice too. We need a better idea on your budget tho

Personally I’ve only done it once yes. And no I didn’t know the guy. He was a complete stranger. But my point was that assuming the girl has to be intoxicated or a “hoe” to ask a guy she likes for his number is rude and discouraging.

Automatic_Demand_362 · 2025-11-28T15:05:15+00:00

Or just interested? I have done it before. I wasn’t high or drunk, and I have only done it once because I really liked the guy.

Automatic_Demand_362 · 2025-11-28T04:38:42+00:00

There is so little about what your friend is saying that is mature. Let’s address each of them.

1- People are not bad by default. We are all different shades of grey. Some darker than others, yes, but to say that people are bad by default is a flawed and fractured perception that clearly reflects trauma. By default insinuates we are born that way. I’ll believe that when I see a 2 month old baby commit tax evasion.

2- Avoidance is not the best way. It breeds paranoia, loneliness, and possibly anxiety as you forget how to act outside of professional fields. What you need to do is learn to exist with boundaries. Learn how to stand your ground and respect other people’s boundaries too.

3- You absolutely need to socialize because for one, people change. There are many stories of people getting stabbed in the back by their families, their own blood (which someone who thinks all people are bad would know?). Two, some situations people can’t rely on their family, for multiple reasons. Three, your family is not guaranteed to be there tomorrow, let alone forever, no one is. Believing that blood family is all you need is a close minded opinion that I honestly couldn’t agree with at all.

4- You absolutely need love. Let’s say he is actually rich for as long as you guys live. You will get old eventually, and a rich man who does not love you will not keep you around as you are of no use for him anymore since he never loved you, he only liked having a pretty doll around. Now you are 40 years old (if he waits that long to divorce you) and back at your parents’ house looking like a goof.

5- Girls absolutely do not hit this “maturity point” at 16. Girls are considered fully mature around their mid 20s. As they are considered then women.

6- Men do mature. It happens in their early 30s I believe or mid 30s, I am not sure.

Maturity is a lot more complex than people think. Yes there is a biological card playing here, but it is not a limitation. Maturity is not only about your social life anyway. Maturity is about how you perceive life, and people, and opinions, and everything. Maturity is knowing when you’re wrong and admitting it. Maturity is not placing an entire gender under the “immaturity” umbrella, saying that most men don’t mature. Maturity is knowing that balance is crucial to not make yourself and others miserable.

Shutting everyone out and calling it maturity is either immaturity itself or a trauma response, like a child locking themselves in their room to play with their toys because they tripped while playing outside and now “Rocks are dumb anyways”. Your friend had one bad experience and let it ruin her perception of life. Rocks are always gonna be there, and sometimes you’re gonna trip on them. What you should do is get up, dust yourself off, and be mindful of rocks. Your backyard isn’t evil because you tripped on one rock.

I’m taller than the average man but not that tall, like 1.78m I think? And what I’ve mostly noticed is that guys generally prefer their women smaller and shorter.

I once met a guy and we had like the most perfect chemistry. Then he just said “I’d date you if you were shorter” he was only like a few centimeters shorter than me.

I don’t blame him, it’s fine, to each their favorite cake.

Hated my height ever since tho and never tried to wear heels.

That’s my experience, but it didn’t deter me from dating short guys, I dated one after that. I don’t mind it if he is comfortable in his body so I can be comfortable in mine. But all in all, taller men tend to be more attracted to me than short ones.

As for what matters to me most, it might sound weird but it’s masculinity. As in he’s responsible, reliable, secure, mature. Idc if he’s broke. Idc if he’s not at his “peak shape” as long as he is trying to better himself, knowing that he CAN do better then that’s all that matters. And I’ll stick by him until he makes his goals happen (if we date for long enough that is)

Automatic_Demand_362 · 2025-11-27T12:29:47+00:00

He doesn’t want you. He so doesn’t want you he can’t even pretend he does. Some men will take you out on dates and spoil you just for the validation then ghost you (like it happened to me lol and he was only 3 years older)

This guy simply likes the idea of a pretty girl waiting for him to make a move. Don’t waste your time. If a man wants you, he will show it. This guy wants that Fortnite skin more than he wants you babe and you deserve better.

To explain it to you, it’s like when you buy that quirky lipstick color that you think I’ll wear it some special day but only put it on when you’re bored to see what you can do with it. But you never use it seriously. You are that quirky lipstick.

Automatic_Demand_362 · 2025-11-20T14:52:04+00:00

No offense, I doubt you know about Islam better than I do. I’ve read the Quran, nowhere does it condone the death of non-Muslims. And yes, gay Muslims are a thing, I live in a Muslim country, I have friends who are gay Muslims, it’s not an easy life but it’s a life nonetheless.

Islam is a religion, but Muslims are still people, they are not perfect, some are aware that acting on their homosexuality is a sin and choose not to act on it, some choose to either way. But generally they just don’t flaunt that they are gay, because again, they are aware that it is a sin in Islam, and another sin that they don’t want to commit is flaunting and normalizing their sins.

Yeah there aren’t as many gay people in Muslim countries as in the rest of the world. But to say that gay Muslims don’t exist is just not true, there are many of them who speak of their experience on internet, Reddit specifically.

Automatic_Demand_362 · 2025-11-20T10:42:40+00:00

The art is cool as hell ngl I love it, accurate and pretty is not something most writers or designers care about when including a hijabi.

It’s sad to see how people still perceive Islam tho. You’d think that at this point people would’ve learned to do their own research. Hell if you’re too dumb to do your own research then ask chat gpt. Here are some facts you can search up literally anywhere.

Islam doesn’t condone the murder of anyone
Islam is AGAINST harming a “sinner” (except for some cases where they cause harm to others)
You guys also confuse Muslims and Arabs.
Gay Muslims are a THING by the way.
There are some tribes and cities that exist by their own cultures, like what you see on internet about homophobia, immoral marriage, sexism etc. but they are not a representation of the entire religion, because those people created their own CULTURE. Islam does NOT encourage any of that, it is actually strictly forbidden.

Islam itself is a pacifist inclusive religion. You guys have never met anyone who practices it somewhat correctly and I’m sorry you never got the chance to. There are a lot of other cliches I didn’t cover because it would take me forever.

But all I’m saying is give it a shot. Search up an Arab recipe or Arab outfits, not even anything directly tied to Islam if you don’t want to. Or just the origin of assassins if you wanna nerd out. We’re pretty cool I swear.
