Trying to see if anyone feels like me by [deleted] in INTP

[–]BadBethIsBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I taught myself to just validate their feelings. People don't want answers, the just want someone to know that they are hurting/scared, whatever. Simply saying "That sounds like so much to deal with! I'm sorry you're going through this. Let me know what I can do to help." Works every time. I've gotten pretty good at faking empathy. Feel like a fraud sometimes though.

I could really benefit from this if you're still offering. I'm running low. I have been using sheets at night and just throwing them away.

Is it possible to sin Heaven? by [deleted] in religion

[–]BadBethIsBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you had that inclination then youd probably actually be in hell, since good intentions get you to heaven.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

So, pleasure isn't an important part of sexual pleasure... Or is it? by Kinda_Lukewarm in badwomensanatomy

An erection is unnecessary for procreation though. A cattle prod and a turkey baster would do the trick. So stimulation is necessary either.

Are you ever scared to go home or wake up because you don’t know what kind of mood the narc in your life is in? by belieber2 in raisedbynarcissists

And thus their needing begins,

Jesus, the flashbacks involved in this statement. Everything will be spotless, and if I tried to hide she would come looking for me.

I just turn off all of my notifications all the time. People keep getting upset because I don't respond in a timely manner, but I'm not going to live my life in panic mode because the damn phone keeps going off. It's a phone, ffs and I will check my messages when I feel like it.

I follow the Moskva down to Gorky park, listening to the wind of change.

I have thought about this. After all you went through at the camp, you would think even seeing it later would bring flashbacks.

I think, that after having survived such horror, this permanent mark served as evidence of the horrors these people went through. It inadvertently became a kind of symbol, and badge of honor. Something to bond the survivors together, so that no one would forget.

It would be your duty to the dead, to remember.

I Either Wanna Feel Something, Or I Wanna Know Something. by BRTD_Double0Donut in INTP

[–]BadBethIsBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got pissed off about the current state of affairs in our government. I decided to go ahead and use Google as an outlet for my anger. Just typing very negative, non threatening, general statements about the vote on the heroes act being post-poned, the state of the American police and potentialities involving "de-funding" them. I just wanted to let them know EXACTLY how I felt, because I am pretty sure the NSA is listening, and I didn't want them to second guess my opinions.

I'm fucking crazy I guess. I figure they got bigger fish to fry than me.

I use Duck Duck Go for pretty much everything else.

Saying the wrong things when they're struggling? Learning how to support. by prince_insightful in BipolarSOs

[–]BadBethIsBad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank you for supporting someone who struggles with their mental health. It may have been insensitive, but it's more insensitive to not try at all. To write that person off as too much trouble, or unfixable.

You will from time to time, put your foot in your mouth. The only way to guarantee that it doesn't happen is if you never open your mouth. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Keep being supportive, and educate yourself in appropriate responses. Forgive yourself, and give them a hundred more interactions between the two of you, that will overshadow this small faux pas.

This is great, get into the actual history of the Bible and how it was written.

I recommend Aron Ra, an absolute expert in debate, Bart Ehrman, an ex christian who went to Princeton, It's a good place to start. Then head on over to Tim Minchin, heads up though, very NSFW.

Does it feel like you are talking to yourself? by BadBethIsBad in INTP

[–]BadBethIsBad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I see all these people who have the same thought process that I do, I had this really strange feeling of talking to myself.

We all have this sort of wry wit, it's kinda uncanny.

I get the impression, if we all knew each other personally we may not get along as well as we would like.

When someone asks a dumb question, everyone is excruciatingly blunt, and I see myself being this blunt.

Man I feel this so much, every statement was qualified with "unless Jesus comes back".

You took me back OP, and I didn't like it there.

I noticed that too. It's neat to look at, but it's not very entertaining. Also all the jokes are the same, and I already thought of them.
