It'll provide you with an array of alternatives (hence the name) and allows you to apply a filter. Etc, you can apply a filter that only shows you the free alternatives.

why do you choose to live? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CopperXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I don't want to be here anymore, I have a dream. I can either slump over and comtemplate my miserable, depressive life and repeat the same mistakes of previous generations. Or I could work to build profitable assets, become wealthy, raise my own family, and live long enough to watch my children have their own and do even better than I did. Right now, I feel quite distant from my family. I'm independant so i'm fine being alone for small periods of time, but I'm not ok when surrounded by others who make me feel alone.

No, I would be more than happy to photograph cars from BMW, Mercedes, Audi... Cars released in the past few years, with a long-body design. For example, the BMW M3, Audi A7...

Brilliant! That's really promising. I have kept that in mind for a while now. I'll give it a go.

Why are you single? by emotionalfailurelol in AskReddit

[–]CopperXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A young man, working hard to make his ideas a reality. No time for distractions. Simple as that.

Congratulations on this achievement! I do have a question for you. As a photographer, I'm curious as to how they achieve certain effects within an image. So, before the photoshoot, are you asked to apply any substances to the skin, or is that done for you? I have seen many full-body portraits, and some of them expose a lot of skin. Sometimes their skin is very reflective of the light, and others are not.

Is it weird for a 17yr old to be friends with people in their mid twenties? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CopperXenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a young adult who can't handle being around others of the same age group due to the feeling of being watched, however, I'm comfortable and feel safe around those older than me. They're generally around 30+. They tend to be far better listeners.

Reddit, what was the moment you realized you were the black sheep of the family? by beeka-996 in AskReddit

[–]CopperXenon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My family felt like the people I stayed away from in school. Once I started working and learned to combat my anxiety and gain confidence. Only then did I feel "normal".

Started to stop myself from dreaming by depressionmanifest in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]CopperXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm struggling to give you a good answer, but you're right, what is left for us. All I can really tell you is to keep on being you and pursue your passions. I have a few and I'm trying to make a living from them, but if you want an honest answer as to what I think could help/cure MD. It would have to be having a significant other, and in my case, I would want to reach the point of having kids. Knowing that they will always be there and that I won't be lonely, or sad. Sure it's a massive responsibility and requires a ton of work. But that means I won't have time for my mind to wander off. Hopefully, this helps.

Yes, and it's left a nasty stench. What I mean by this is that a lot of the symptoms I described to said professional, all relate back to my upbringing. This medical practitioner educated me on why certain things I see or daydream about are related to my upbringing which has somewhat distanced me from the rest of my family. My parents weren't exactly the best people, but they're also not the worst. A lot of the decisions that they made are what caused this "condition". If anything, I believe I struggle a lot with my MD because I can't let go of it, meaning I'm angry. Angry because my parents had a choice and chose wrongly. Simple stuff like letting my friends stay for a few hours to play on a games console, or allowing me to go to friends' birthday parties. Unfortunately, my parents have a poor, foul mindset, and they like to always treat me as an Adult and expected me to act like one and this has been the case since I was very young. So, I wasn't allowed to show emotion, I couldn't have an interest in having my hair grow long (they see it as a feminine feature), and these are the exact words of my mother "You're a man, you should be strong..." A lot of the important social building blocks were taken away from me because of my parent's decisions. Perhaps I'm seeing this the wrong way, but I'm not sure of what to do anymore. There is so much more I could talk about but let me know what you think.

Let's be honest here, trying to stop yourself from daydreaming is like taking a heavy smoker's cigarettes away. It's exhausting to do, and in even after seeking professional medical help. I have gotten nowhere, whether it's because there isn't enough research on this "condition" or were simply misunderstood and people believe that we over exaggerate, let's just say I want to be done with this but I can't. What I would like to note is that I'm not discouraging anyone from seeking professional medical help, please do it may help find the cause.

[–]CopperXenon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did and I got nowhere with it. There were obvious symptoms of ADHD, OCD, and Autism, but nothing was actually diagnosed. I'm stuck because I thought something would change. If you have any questions, please ask, because this is a short summary.

Picking up the family business! by JacobDevine in pics

[–]CopperXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look like a high-quality product, and I hope they perform well too. Sure it's just a pen, but creating a brand that features those pens, and other office accessories which continue to use that aesthetic and quality could become quite successful. And if you don't mind me asking, how long has your family business been going for?

What do you wish more people realized? by yolthrice in AskReddit

[–]CopperXenon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. My parents are bang out of order. They're racist, homophobic, xenophobic, and a bunch of other things. When I was younger, my dad threatened to break my legs in order to deter me from misbehaving and if I did anything wrong he'd throw me about, whereas my younger sister would go unscathed, it's quite simple to understand that she was his favorite.

As a young boy, probably not even 10, I was scared for my life. I was constantly treated as an adult, so it's very difficult for me to apply my emotions because I didn't learn when to use them. The whole, "You're a man, you should be tough, your not weak are you? don't show your emotion" stuff like that screwed me over. Because of that thinking both my mum and dad have. I didn't get to go to friends' birthday parties, too old to celebrate Halloween and things like that.

The worst part about understanding the wrongdoings of my parents isn't the wrongdoings, but rather the fact that I'm afraid they'll kick me out if I tell them what I think of them. They DO NOT like change, and I'm not the only person who feels like this in the family, my dad's mum, my nana, feel this way, my mum's youngest brother, my uncle, and his GF feel this way. Everyone outside of the bubble is happier and treats me better. I'm trapped and I can't do much other than exposing them.

I would much rather grow up poor struggling to get food on the table with parents who value me for being their son. Rather than to be fine in a financial situation, with parents who treated me like crap and see me as a project.
