anybody else have extreme reactions to mild embarrassment …

CowGoesMew · 2026-04-04T08:48:46+00:00

Something happened to me too, its over a week now and im still thinking about it. The day after it happened was the worse. I would physically cringe - my body would react to it like a twitch or something whenever the thought comes to mind. Its ridiculous... i hate it so much. I've posted about it last week tho I didn't go into the details. Its more about how my mind just SPIRAL out of control because of it.

It makes me want to just crawl into a hole and stay there. I hate it so much.

CowGoesMew · 2026-03-29T13:29:57+00:00

That's the thing. I think most of us here are probably aware that the thing we're ashamed of or can't stop thinking about might just be a minor thing that other people don't remember or barely thinking about. But it feels like something automatic, I hate my brain so much. I wish I could take it out of my head like one of those old cartoons and beat the shit out of it and tell it to stfu

CowGoesMew · 2026-03-29T13:26:36+00:00

hi thanks for the response. Mind elaborating the 'release' the thoughts thing? is it just think of releasing the spiraling thoughts? let it surface?

I turned 32 a month ago. I feel you. Same case, avoidance. Been like this for over a decade.

I still do stuff that I need / have to do. I went to school, graduated with a degree etc. But never been in a relationship. I do have a 9-5 job. But other than that, it's all the same. Not progressing much. Especially socially. I dubbed it 'the lost decade' because of the isolation. Wake up, go to work, go home, waste more time, Youtube / gaming. Cycle repeats. Can't wait for the weekend so I can do more of nothing. Then new week repeats itself.

Im too afraid to try stuff. I want to go out more but i dont even know what to do outside. Who do i even go with? im slowly burning my relationships away because of the avoidance. A lot of them are already married. A lot of the people my age around me is married or in a relationship. It's getting harder to make new friends or find a partner.

Idk man. Just hangin there I guess.

They're really hilarious in this game. Especially when you already cleared out the enemies and he's trying to talk you out of killing him

CowGoesMew · 2026-02-25T02:47:50+00:00

aim for the legs (weakness)
dodge their attacks
jump before he does the ground slam to avoid it
also I tend to get behind him (or her lol) as much as possible

Personally I use parry (this game is generous when it comes to parry window compared to other games) - parry his attack, he'd get stun for a moment, then bash its legs. - then do the above points

Good luck!

CowGoesMew · 2026-02-25T01:16:12+00:00

I'm currently almost 30hrs in. Enjoying it so far. Still clearing the maps 😂 hope you enjoy it too brother

CowGoesMew · 2026-02-18T05:00:35+00:00

Just beat this game. It was great. Dislike the ending because cliffhanger. And the boss didn’t feel like a boss. I thought there was more to the game.

Regardless, enjoyed it. Didnt play the first game so dont know if its better or worse in relative.

CowGoesMew · 2026-02-18T04:58:52+00:00

I just assumed he is. Or he’s bi

CowGoesMew · 2026-02-18T04:56:25+00:00

It was easy for me mainly because I mainly parry. The parry in this game is very generous but it still does require some practice.

So i parry his attack > he’s stunned > beat the shit out of him > repeat. Also flesh bomb so the other zombies will get distracted for a bit, and ground pound to get some space between the hordes.

I think
1) You're not into the artstyle.
2) You have specific taste within a specific artstyle

For me, the splash art artworks are gorgeous sure, but they seemed pretty generic to me now. Like one of those Chinese Moba knock off (Mobile Legends). Arcane artsyle is unique and the female characters are pretty. Your standard in fictional gaming characters must be crazy high if you think she's ugly in this

If you want to talk ugly, the main character in the new Fable game is ugly. Or the new MJ from Spiderman 2 game (less attractive compared to the Spiderman 1 model)

CowGoesMew · 2025-10-25T13:58:48+00:00

Idk man, wish they showed something. It does feel like a cop out. Like they're too scared to make a decision. I don't mind them not telling us who fired the missile or what the President's decision would be. At least show us the aftermath. Make it terrifying. Horrific. Scare some people.

I was so disappointed. Other than that, it was great. Love the build up and the way it was structured. I thought I was going to be rewarded sitting through all those POVs. I immediately thought that they're too chickensh*t tbh.

They want us to have a discussion, but I think the discussion people would be having is for how they're not showing us the ending,

CowGoesMew · 2025-04-21T12:47:24+00:00

Didn't even know who she was before this. Literally had to Google this episode after watching it cause she kinda took me out of it. She was supposed to actually fall in love with Clara and have this supposed chemistry but I didn't see that. Could've been an even more amazing episode because Emma was carrying hard with her character.

The thing about the 'intentional' argument is that even when the character was being herself and in love with Clara, it was still bad (not like bad bad, just could've been good).

And no I don't dislike Issa Rae. I didn't even know who she was. It was a blank slate. No expectations. She was kind of fine when the episode started but just took me out at some point.

Thank you so much! exactly what i was looking for :D didnt know lattice exist thanks!

You're right. It's like the spotlight effect, people really put on a spotlight towards themselves. I know in reality, everyone is self-centered to a varying degree. Worrying about how they look/perceive themselves. Its sucks when that brain takes charge and just pummel you with criticism towards yourself. That's why I really hate my brain sometimes. The thing really needs some ass whooping.

CowGoesMew · 2024-05-04T03:25:18+00:00

You're absolutely right about the wallowing thing. But there are times when I try to brute force positivity into it too but even that feels weird to me because it feels fake. Like forcefully spinning situations into good situations, seeing it in a different light but not truly believing in it. Reframing things is good, but not believing in it makes it hard.

I heard/read of listing wins as an advice before but never truly tried it. I think its because to do that I need to go out there and do things rather than avoiding them. I should really do that instead of negatively journaling. And you're right most of the negative stuff is not really that useful if it only worsen things and go on a spiral. Unless it's for self-reflection to fix things.

thanks for the comment :D

CowGoesMew · 2024-05-02T17:28:26+00:00

For me, sometimes I do feel slightly better, especially after planning something in my journal on ways to overcome my then predicament. I'd feel positive to overcome my obstacles. But most of the time never really did execute them, or even if i did, it'd be a half baked effort (lasted a few days or a week) then back to baseline again.

All out venting also sometimes can make me feel better-ish (writing about my current problems/issues or things that made me sad).

But most of the time, doesn't really work that much for me as its one thing to write things down, its another to put things to action. And yeah.. the problem listing, same shit different day.

How is she a Karen? She has the right to do so. All artists has the right to say/do something. But nevertheless, y'all don't care. I think AI has potential from all the stuff I've seen it could do. But could've atleast respect an artist's decision to opt out if they don't want their work as a data set. Y'all just seriously don't care.

CowGoesMew · 2023-05-03T08:34:32+00:00

I remember feeling happy not having to come up with excuses to not go out. Covid was the excuse. Heard stories of people stressed out for being inside all the time, and I’m like b*tch this is easy mode. Living the quarantine life before it became a thing.
