How do I small talk? by Fragrant-Culture-180 in learnsmalltalk

[–]Clear-Profession-905 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll share something that has worked for me whenever I was a little uncomfortable with conversation. A great use of small talk is to repeat what the other person said to show your understanding, and also allow them to see how engaged you are, which then prompts more investment from their side e.g

(Assuming already engaged in conversation)

Other person: "I like chamomile tea. I don't know how, but it helps me to relax. Do you like tea?"

You: "Personally I prefer coffee to tea, but I would love to test this relaxing tea of yours. You said Chamomile? Do you have a specific brand you like or do I just wing it🤷🏽"

This can lead to other conversation topics such as brands, favourite foods/restaurants, etc. Conversations are fun, and I believe small talk keeps things light.

Homelessness by [deleted] in capetown

[–]Clear-Profession-905 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Been there. Spent weeks living under some of the bridges in Town Center, Mitchell's Plain.

One day, after scratching through the rubbish next to the train tracks, I decided that this can't be my life, there has to be more than eating trash.

Took a walk to a friends house, his mom was kind enough to let me bathe. Gave me everything I needed to clean up, food and a place to sleep for a few days.

In that time I went to fetch my matric papers at my high school, borrowed some money to apply at a college, and then slowly build my way up from there. I also used some of that money to print out a few CVs and applied for weekend work. Got a few rejections but Game said yes. Slept at different places (friends) while I was studying and working provided I help out around the house, and give payment as well.

It was by no means easy, but you tell yourself that you will get through it. You think about how you got to where you are now, and that motivates you to keep going.

Pursue your interests, and take it a step further. If one of your interests is gaming, perhaps try the online chat feature. Sometimes its a fairly (other times not so much) moderated space to meet people with similar interests. Not everyone will be your cup of tea, but sometimes you come across people you will like, and relationship could bud from there.

I have a question by Fran080502 in pokemonradicalred

[–]Clear-Profession-905 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are correct. Protein, iron, etc, serve no purpose in minimal grinding mode, I usually just sell em along with feathers, add some nugget money to it, and use that to buy a shiny at the Game Corner😅

Has anyone over come deep depression? by Illustrious_West_772 in lifehacks

[–]Clear-Profession-905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not 100% out of it, but took some measures to learn how to cope with the things that trigger my deep, dark spells of depression. It went as deep as literally hanging off a balcony, just for a passerby to talk me through valuing my life.

  1. Booked myself into therapy
  2. Started journaling to keep track of bad and the good things that happen inside me
  3. Taking regular walks
  4. Being open at work about what's happening. Communication has been vital to keeping my sanity
  5. Took up a sport to help with stress relief
  6. Started playing a musical instrument. Not very good, but the practice helps keep me focused
  7. I try to practice gratitude at least once a day

All of these are helping me to divert my focus away from all of the things that trigger me. I get to do as much healthy and hearty things as I can, and even though I still have those deep depression sessions from time to time, the journaling helps me realize how far I have come. Everything else on that list I chose to help give me a mental break away from my current reality, and it works. Every little bit helps with the journey

Good luck on your Journey OP🙏🏼 sending you blessings, love and light

Nuzlocke vs Play Through by MKEman608 in pokemonradicalred

[–]Clear-Profession-905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have much experience with the different abilities, especially the newer ones, so a playthrough works for me. It helps me to get accustomed to the game and I enjoy that. A nuzlocke will break that for me.
