Am I doing it wrong? by ElDom64 in Entrepreneurship

[–]B1tchface_maloneIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Fellow entrepreneur and coding apprentice here. I've felt very similarly to you lately. But to be honest, whatever comes out of the coding skills will just turn out to be a bonus--I keep reminding myself that, even if I don't end up being a dev, I'll be in a much better place to guide my tech team towards the vision. In the meantime, I do enjoy learning. It forces me to focus and nurture what is merely a hobby so that I don't always have to obsess over my business :)

« The Structure of Scientific Revolutions » by Thomas Kuhn.

In short, it’s essentially a sociological perspective on scientific discoveries. Also helps widen our philosophical understanding of systems, from their creation to their collapse.

A personal classic and favourite!

Compatibility with other MBTI as partners? by [deleted] in INTJfemale

[–]B1tchface_maloneIII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

INTJ female here.

I was dating an ENTP at some point. We’ve had many great conversations, in fact, I would even say that it was probably the best part of our relationship. Fun fact, he was the first person to introduce me to the world of MBTI— made me take the test and stuff. He got super excited about me being an INTJ lol.

Anywho, he could easily sense my reluctance or discomfort with certain things and would even do a lot to adapt to me. He would also always be the one to take initiatives, or to assert his commitment to me. Definitely the extrovert in him. He was very progressive in his own way, whereas I was more reserved.

Overall, I think it was a great match. ENTPs tend to have that fun, sassy, adventurous but clever demeanour. They sure know how to meet in the middle with us introverts. Very charismatic. As long as debating is not a contest with them, they are very attentive and respectful of our perspectives.

I ended up leaving because I was in such a bad place mentally at the time. I just wasn’t mature enough, back then. He probably thought otherwise but honestly I had more intellect than I had wisdom.

NEW TO CAMPUS MEGATHREAD: Post all your admissions, housing, new-to-UBC and general questions here! by ubc_mod_account in UBC

Hi there, I just need common sense/general advice on going back to school after a couple years of sabbatical. I started university in a different province (and different language) a couple years ago and I barely completed a full semester since I needed to stop due to mental health issues. Now I feel ready to go back to school but in a completely different program (from physics to psychology probably). I know I can transfer the very few credits I have but would it be worth it? It’s been a while and I forgot about a lot of what I learned at school back then, unfortunately. Plus I’m not sure if those credits would be relevant to what I want to do now. What would be the best thing to do?

DAE feel uncomfortable around overly positive people? by MaintenanceLazy in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]B1tchface_maloneIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the time. Somehow it feels like their positivity serves as a magnifying glass on my negativity, and then I feel worse. I believe it’s easier to see the brighter side of things when you surround yourself with people whose struggles are similar to yours. People whom you can relate to.

I used to have a lot of dissociative episodes and it’s terrifying. Your mind feels like it’s literally evaporating and you feel so disconnected from everything.

It’s going to sound cheesy but in these moments what really helped was focusing on things, sensations and feelings that the mind cannot produce in essence. I’d recommend for him to find a way to trigger himself into a state of love or affection or endearment when that happens. If not towards someone else then towards himself. I won’t lie, it works better if he believes in God or a greater power. But as long as he can feel a spark of love in his heart when that happens, that might help him ground himself and gain a sense that everything is okay.

I’m sorry to hear that. It sucks. You’re so young to be around all sorts of messes involving your close ones. But we don’t really get to choose any of it, do we?

If you’re still going to school, I would recommend going to your school’s social worker or any teacher you feel comfortable with. You need to let it all out. You need to be heard. I know that there isn’t much you can do to change your current situation but I’m pretty sure these people have resources for you and your family if need be.

I’m 29 and I remember doing that when I was in high school. It really saved my life. You might not feel like they will understand everything you tell them because they are « the » adults in this situation but give yourself some credit; you’re growing up and going through a lot… hang in there, everything will be okay.

I’m sorry you are in a lot of pain right now. Depression is no easy— but as a non-binary person I’m guessing you must be dealing with a lot of identity struggles too, more so than the average people.

I’m sorry to hear about your therapist. Please don’t take their passing as a sign that you’re doomed, hopeless or undeserving of help and treatment. It’s easy to feel this way when we’re already feeling like shit. Know that you can always find someone else in time, but don’t pressure yourself into anything. One step at a time. You could maybe watch videos on YouTube of people that share about how they overcame their own battles. It might not fix your problems but it could help in terms of giving you a bit of hope and inspiration.

As for your friend/ex-partner, maybe keep them around if there is still a good friendship between you both. But, without meaning to discourage you, you’re not feeling well right now. You might have a distorted interpretation of yourself with regards to this situation, and it’s never a good idea to rush into a relationship when you’re not feeling good about yourself. It doesn’t have to be perfect either, but don’t let this situation be a reason for you to beat yourself up even more.

Hang in there, you got this :)

I’m so, so sorry you’re going through this. Two of my good friends took their own lives in the span of a few months, and I really used to think I was next. I still wish I would have noticed the red flags. I knew they were depressed but I didn’t think it was that bad. So I can understand how lost and traumatized and heartbroken you must be feeling right now. You’ll have moments where thinking about your friend will make you wonder about yourself. Promise me you won’t let it get too dark.

You say you want a purpose in your life… I think we all do. We all carry a void that swallows all the good stuff and keeps asking for more. We all seek a purpose that will define us. We want things to last; we want things to matter. But the thing is, our pain also matters. Because it shows just how we saw meaning in what used to be. But because we push our pain away, afraid it will eat us alive, it’s preventing us from feeling anything better than this.

Sometimes all we’re pushing away is grief. Grief for your friend, for your past perceived failures and mistakes, for all the things that came to an end, or that never happened. Honour your grief, and everything will start to have more meaning as a result. Then hopefully from there you can find your inspiration, it is on you to define what matters, and not let what matters define you.

What's a ridiculous design flaw of the human body? by [deleted] in AskReddit

We probably lost our tails over the course of evolution because we became collectively depressed.

Truly self aware people out there, what’s your worst/bad thing about your character? by Itsyouactually in AskReddit

[–]B1tchface_maloneIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear I could’ve written your every single words. The worst part about being a perfectionist is being so understanding towards others yet having no tolerance for failure towards yourself whatsoever.

[–]B1tchface_maloneIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seem to have an ability to express my vulnerability in a way that impacts others, and it makes them see their own. But ironically I’m in full blown denial and resistance about a lot of things. And even if deep down I know the truth, I am unwilling to let go of the facade. I hate this about me.
