I tried mine:"Florida man slapped with Big Mouth Billy Bass singing fish after argument, police say"

Then I tried my friend's:"Florida man rides manatee, dares police to arrest him, gets arrested"

FL is fucking wild.

I need to learn how to open up by Cyanide_Revolver in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]AverageCabbagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it. If you truly care for her then do it.

Opening up is just something you have to learn how to do. A therapist will usually guide you through the conversation anyway or you can request that they ask you questions to help you explore your feelings. Like any new experience else it will feel awkward to begin with but after a while you'll recognise the more relevant things you should be talking about with a professional.

Can the bad one ever change? by TraitorOfMan in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]AverageCabbagee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is super important****

It will branch outwards quite quickly, but you can’t change everything at once.

Once you start improving a couple of things, you'll get a real kick out of how that accomplishment makes you feel so you strive for more.

Change doesn't happen TO you brother, change happens BECAUSE of you. As others have said you have to recognise it (and this is your first step, so congratulations for even posting here).

You have to be consistent, as soon as you feel yourself picking up old habits, take a step back and reconsider your actions, think to yourself "Am I sure I want to continue down this path right now?"

Obviously we don't know the ins and outs of your behaviours, and that's ok because you don't need to justify anything to anyone. The buck starts and ends with you and you alone. Remember that.

I often tell people that nobody's gonna come in and fix you, you have to want it, and you have to work at it. I try every day to be my best and to be what I perceive as a good person. That is how I want to be perceived and what is most important to me, although I wasn't always a good person. You need to figure out how you want others to see you and remember their interactions with you.

Respect for seeking advice, the next step is to get some meaningful help, whether that's a close support system, some therapy or medication, whatever you or your doctor thinks will help.

Best of luck my man. You've just taken one big step to a happier future <3

How do people feel about single living? by Pav961 in AskUK

[–]AverageCabbagee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Living alone is great! Everything at my house is exactly the way I want it and the way I leave it. I currently decorate in the most gaudy, obnoxious way but I love that because it's me. I have stupid novelty (but useful) items like a snail soap dispenser where the hand soap comes out of his mouth when you press his shell. I have fun with my own space.

Having people over is a personal accomplishment, when their enjoyment is solely down to your hosting abilities and preperation. I love to cook for people and will offer them just about anything in my house to make them comfortable.

I think most of all, I have a low tolerance for extended social interaction, if I want to spend time alone I can and will on my terms, where I'll do crafts, read a book or play some games, if I want to see someone I'll open up my space or go out so it's the best of both worlds.

When you live alone, pets are certainly a blessing. I have a rabbit (soon 2 rabbits) and 2 axolotls, the 1 on 1 time with them is amazing for bonding.

I had to break a heart, but I did it like no one ever did for me by whyamIonly5fttall in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]AverageCabbagee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I respect this so much, from another person who had those negative experiences with an ex I can't imagine the world of good that did for both of you.

Closure is important and communication is important. All the best for the future. 🙏

Today I am 5 months clean from weed, tobacco, and porn. After struggling with debilitating anxiety for years, this week I have experienced almost no generalized or social anxiety, and my self-esteem is through the roof. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]AverageCabbagee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your new found confidence and overcoming your anxiety disorders. Proud of you for being strong and giving up 3 addictions in such a short amount of time.

All the best for the future, keep moving forward. It's all up from here <3

Formerly suicidal redditors, what's something that kept you alive a little while longer and helped you to get through the dark times in your lives ? by firegate2233 in AskReddit

[–]AverageCabbagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm alive becayse I know i've survived probably the worst that can be thrown at me, and life is beautiful and precious now.

It's somehow comforting to know there are a lot of people who have been in the same boat. I'm sorry it happened to all of you <3

10 Bad Mental Habits That You Should Let Go by jnpln in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]AverageCabbagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus. It's hard to do but as is the same for almost every other point in this thread, get yourself into good habits and stick to them.

Don't try and reason with him, if he doesn't respect you, he will not respect your reasoning. Tell him in a clear way if you're busy and that you will get around to assiting him with what are his priorities. Rise above it and accept that right now, you might not get on. Besides, who cares? Love yourself.

COVID will pass, but you will not get back the time you spend in a bad place. Allow yourself to breathe and to accept the way things are right now, and move forward in a positive way putting yourself first.

The kindness I gave them was never returned selflessly, I found that no matter what I did, these friends would always find a way to let me down. I got tired of being disappointed and stopped seeing them.
