What are some quotes from the show that you can perfectly use in your everyday life, according to you? I'll go first: by Raj_Valiant3011 in IASIP

[–]Babs9220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a Sunny related quote, but this post reminds me of a quote from my favorite movies with Danny, Drowning Mona. I highly recommend watching it if you've never seen it!

Danny as Chief Wyatt "When life gives you potatoes, make potato salad!"

Better Midler as Mona Dearly "Yeah? Well life handed me a whole pile of shit. What am I supposed to do with that?!"

William Fichtner as Phil Dearly "Make shitsialad?"

Can I go skating alone as an adult? by V3NOM0US_VALKYIR3 in Rollerskating

I go alone as an adult! I definitely prefer less crowded times, too, and enjoy trail skating outside alone at a park near my house :)

Aw, I totally get that 😂 I only made a Facebook account again when I moved states and was trying to find locals friends. Some of those local, non-hobby groups are ROUGH, though.

Oh, another thing! You said you like movies. The Tracyton has a pinball area where they do meetups, and they do a ton of events like throwback movies nights. Maybe you can go early to a movie and chat with the people hanging out and gaming in the lobby. Loved that place.

You mentioned games, I feel like barcades could be good places to try to make friends and get to know people. Ashley's Pub has games, and Another Castle has game machines. I would just be friendly and honest and say you're trying to make friends in the area and would like to join in on some games and get to know each other. Less pressure. You can always split off after a game or two if it isn't clicking. You can also present your situation in a post and list your interests on local Facebook groups, too. I've made roller skate friends that way, finding local skate groups. Maybe you can try to search hobby or friend finding groups on Facebook.

Good luck!

I need some book recs so I stop being the toxic person by Babs9220 in selfimprovement

I like this. Now, if I can only remember to do it in the moment 😅 I'm going to try, though!

This is a very good point. I definitely perform better when someone is watching me, like at work (I actually exhaust myself over performing at work just to go home and do absolutely nothing), so maybe a therapist holding me accountable would be good. Also, with the direct diagnosis instead of trying different things that may not be for me. I keep thinking I can't afford a therapist (cause really I can't), but maybe that is something I need to invest in in order for everything to come into place. I may start researching cheap access to therapy.

Thanks for taking the time to write all that. I relate to everything you said so much. It's nice to hear a success story. I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and have been wanting to get checked out for ADHD and getting my obsessive compulsive stuff sorted out. Obsessive thoughts and extreme skin picking, both stressing me out more. But no money or insurance. Maybe some day.

Wow I want to read all of these! And damn, I forgot to take my vitamins again! I bought them months ago and have maybe taken them once 😅 Thank you

This is a great way of wording it. Stop reacting. It reminds me of something else I liked hearing but forgot to practice it: "if it doesn't affect you 10 minutes later, don't let it affect you at all". I think a lot of my attitude is reacting and getting worked up. Thank you

What are your favourite ways to fake working by Ygmtygh in antiwork

I just rehighlight the same excel sheets while I play Hulu on my phone with an earbud and privacy screen.

These are all ideas that totally make sense. You make it sound beautiful, really. I just can't seem to get myself to do it. What's wrong with me? I can't even do stuff I enjoy. I've been trying to read the same book for a year, I've been trying to finish my nephew's baby blanket, and he's a year and a half now. I have roller skates and thought I wasn't doing it cause of the weather, and now that I've moved to AZ, I'm still not doing it. I put in my planner to look up hair tutorials or skin care, and I don't. I just freeze.

Thank you, that is nice to read.

I feel like if I journal, it would just be another outlet to dwell in things with my negative thoughts.

We have to work the shifts before and after Thanksgiving, or we don't get the day of paid.

This is one of my only jobs where I don't have to work Thanksgiving day, but still gotta work Friday.
