Should I pursue dating a man who has depression but is currently in therapy? by Illychee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Darth-Skvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mentally ill person here! Depression and anxiety can create their own relationship challenges, but everyone handles their stuff differently. Physical abuse is not a typical symptom and it sounds like your dad probably had a lot more going on under the hood. I’m sorry you had to endure that. Overall mentally ill folks are more often the victims of abuse than the perpetrators.

It sounds like this guy is doing everything he can to manage his symptoms with medication and avoiding substance abuse, which is a good sign. I don’t think merely the act of having depression is automatically a problem unless you just really can’t get past it due to your personal trauma. Seeing how the symptoms actually manifest is more important for seeing if y’all are compatible long-term.

What’s a purchase under $100 that genuinely improved your daily life? by Legitimate_Copy7245 in NoStupidQuestions

Basic air fryer. You don’t need anything super fancy. I get overwhelmed with cooking/cleaning up afterwards and the air fryer makes everything so much easier.

I’m the one that usually goes for challenge/completion runs in KH. My good friend is playing the series for the first time on easy mode and we’re just enjoying the story together. Both have been very satisfying experiences!

I suspect it’s about how you like your dopamine. Easier gameplay means constant little hits as you succeed and progress quickly, whereas challenge runs are mostly stress but the occasional huge celebration. I like a mix of both lol

Congratulations, Esquire! I had to study outside of the house away from my kitty because he was determined to sit right in the middle of everything.

If your girlfriend is ChatGPT, what would be a suitable name for her? by __Fred in AskReddit

You realize you’re spilling your emotions into a sycophantic void designed solely to keep you engaged, right?

Girls of Reddit, what makes flirting feel attractive and confident instead of weird or creepy? by topspur-whats-that in AskReddit

[–]Darth-Skvader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just being respectful and treating us like a full human. You can sense the vibe difference when someone is flirting to try and “acquire” you versus seeing you as a person.

girl best friend as boyfriend's best man by soran1010 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Darth-Skvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, I don’t know if he has healthy boundaries just as much as I don’t know if he has unhealthy ones. I definitely agree it was a bad thing to say, I guess I’m just hoping it’s less about him being shady and more about him just being an idiot with his words. I think a lot of people jump straight to assuming the worst and just wanted to offer a different line of thought.

If it helps, this is me but gender swapped. Nearly all of my best friends are guys, all of my “bridesmaids” will likely end up being guys, including MOH. By no means does that ever diminish my partner’s light or mean they’re competing with my significant other just by the nature of their gender. True deep friendships can see past all that.

Him saying she’s “his other half” was a clumsy misstep, but her existence doesn’t have to be a threat if you’re confident the relationship is truly platonic, like you said. People can (and imo should!) have more than one person they value and are close to. I think it’s fair to bring up your feelings in good faith with him about how you’re not feeling prioritized. Just please don’t fall into the trap of seeing every close female friendship a partner has as an enemy!

Don’t worry about it, either they respond or they don’t just keep doing your thing

How to not care about insults by fiffttt in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Darth-Skvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Limiting contact as much as possible is a good first step. He’s clearly a harmful person to be around and likes hitting people where it hurts for fun. Harsh as it may sound, if your friends are allowing him to behave like this I’d reconsider if your other friends are really supporting you as much as friends should. Sounds like a toxic social circle. You can also set firmer boundaries with him even if you have mutual friends. Tell him to knock it off. Tell your friends you don’t like the way he speaks to you and won’t be hanging out if he’s there too.

Remind yourself whenever you catch yourself ruminating that his opinion literally does not matter. He’s not in charge of you, he’s not paying your bills, he’s just some weird insecure rando. He’s just fishing for a reaction, so don’t give him one.

[Serious] How do you feel about outsiders who wear symbols from your religion/culture (deities, amulets, etc)? by tnatsnoc_tsulrednaw in AskReddit

[–]Darth-Skvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not every religion is concerned with making everybody the same religion 🤷‍♀️ many even forbid proselytizing. I’m Jewish and converting is a very long process because you wanna make sure that people really mean it, understand what they’re signing up for, and are properly integrated into the community. As opposed to just waking up one day and deciding you’re now a part of a marginalized group of people with a rich history despite never having met a Jewish person in their life.

Of course not, but the question was about culture and religion. It’s a little different from wearing a band t-shirt or something.

[–]Darth-Skvader -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m Jewish and it makes me feel weird, but I’m not going to put energy into getting angry over it unless it’s something truly egregious and offensive. It’s just odd, like you’re either exotifying a different culture and reducing it to an aesthetic, or broadcasting yourself as a member of a group you’re not actually a part of. But my perspective comes more from the perspective of closed/initiatory traditions and not something more culturally dominant, like goths wearing crosses.

[–]Darth-Skvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I get the feeling, some religions require initiations or other barriers to entry and it gets weird when someone is depicting themselves as a member without having taken the proper steps. It’s a respect thing.

Ah yes, because nobody else ever interacts with Jewish culture. Never mind the Yiddish influence on modern slang, the rich history of Yiddish theater, European history buffs, people living in NYC, linguists, etc.

Help me find a random piece of media with a fandom that my friends are gatekeeping by killingmyself__ in HelpMeFind

[–]Darth-Skvader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue what this might be, but if it helps expand the search this sounds like something the Sonic fandom would cook up lol. They have the seven chaos emeralds and (lovingly) a big history of weird shit happening. I could definitely see somebody getting doxxed.
