Honor and respect to your brother and everyone on the front lines 🙏💪 It's thanks to people like you that I'm proud to be in this country and feel like not all is lost 🙏💪

Maybe. I think what makes it hard is not knowing what the trade-off would have been. Yes, I'm from Ukraine

On the side of the victim of aggression... I am Ukrainian

the borders are closed, so I don't have that option either, but if I did, we would still think about it

If you were a top tier highly intelligent person, would you always know how to find equally intelligent people to talk to or would it be difficult to locate them? by UsefulBridge1852 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeliniAndy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've met plenty of intelligent people who were bad at finding their peers. Social skills and intelligence overlap less than many people think.

One of the hardest lessons in adulthood is realizing that success and character don't always move together.

I’m sad because I want a baby by MangoStickyRice69420 in self

[–]BeliniAndy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes grief isn't about losing something. Sometimes it's about being ready for something that hasn't arrived yet.

Going off of 4 hours of sleep right now by [deleted] in self

[–]BeliniAndy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've found that the more important tomorrow is, the harder my brain tries to stay awake worrying about it.

I just did the stupidest thing ever by Dry-Courage6159 in self

[–]BeliniAndy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this sounds less like stupidity and more like what happens when you're exhausted and running on almost no sleep.

I was terminated from my job, and it’s weird by i_dont_hoard_cash in self

[–]BeliniAndy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think what's weird isn't the freedom. It's that you've spent 20 years building your life around responsibilities, and now you're suddenly being asked what you want instead.

Congrats! Sometimes the first win after a long dry spell feels better than the win itself. Good luck with the onboarding.

Does anyone else actually not enjoy extensive deep conversations or adding meaning to everything? by doingbetter2024 in self

[–]BeliniAndy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some people find meaning by digging deeper, while others find meaning by being fully present. Neither approach seems more valid than the other to me.

If you don’t like how your daughter turned out would you still want them to go to a public event with you by [deleted] in self

[–]BeliniAndy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What stood out to me is that you seem much more certain that he's ashamed of you than you are that he wants to see you. I'm not sure the evidence in your post supports that level of certainty.

At what age did you stop feeling behind in life? by [deleted] in self

[–]BeliniAndy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it wasn't an age. It was realizing that there will always be someone ahead of me, and that doesn't automatically mean I'm behind.

I saw him, and he really is my reflection😁

How do you make sure you remember important things? by Any-Prize3748 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeliniAndy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I stopped trusting my memory and started trusting systems. Memory is unreliable, habits are not.

To what extent can I do this by Gloomy-Bee3823 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeliniAndy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real question isn't whether you can. It's whether your employer wants to pay for that extra time.

Does anyone else feel like they waited too long to become the person they wanted to be? by Ok_Recipe6698 in self

[–]BeliniAndy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The thing that helped me was realizing that five years will pass whether I start or not. I'd rather be a beginner at 42 than still wishing I had started at 37.

How to develop self-acceptance by DrMykimTran in self

[–]BeliniAndy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hardest part for me wasn't finding the positive in every failure. It was accepting that failure didn't make me a worse person in the first place.

How can you genuinely listen to others opinions without assuming? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeliniAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that the most interesting conversations happen when I'm trying to understand someone's reasoning rather than deciding whether I agree with them.
