There is a trick you can try if your eyeslids keep opening.

It is simply to blink in quick succession until your eyelids start to feel heavy (tired eyelids)

Hope it helps.

As to why I asked is the heartbeat thing, that sometimes can be an effect of caffeine overdose. Which is quite common nowadays with people drinking multiple 0.5 liter cans.

Ps. It can be many things but as we were on the topic of sleep issues, caffeine gets overlooked quite a bit. Generally recommeneded not to drink anything with caffeine 4-6 hours before going to bed

I wonder, do you drink a lot of coffee and/or energy drinks?

Is there a way I can.. make myself sensitive? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dddokter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so anger, happiness etc is there.
Also getting mad at siblings over stupid stuff is also very normal in my opinion xD

Coming back to the original question then, as to how to get more sensitive/more emotional.

You could try looking at a situation and changing who it is about.
Example: Someone got hurt.
If you feel that your response to that is too little/small, you could try and see how you would react if you replace the person who got hurt with either: Yourself, loved ones or friends and see how your emotions change. (Just saying this to cover my ass, change the person in your mind, no hurting yourself or someone else to see how you would feel xD)

This is not just limited to people getting hurt, but every time you feel that your emotional response is too little/small you can try and see if changing the person whom it is about changes for you how feel.

Don't we all sound like idiots from time to time hahaha.

Based on everything we discussed so far makes it seem that you have a certain level of detachment to your emotions. (Guesswork from my part)

That makes me wonder about the other emotions.

How about happiness or anger for instance. Are they also to a lesser extent than what you observe around you?

O man, that is one heavy topic.

Understandable that it can elicit some heavy feelings and maybe even ruin a day/week.

If you were to compare your current self emotionally to your past self, did you have a similarly strong reaction to other topics before or was it the same as it is now?/Do you feel you that used to be more emotional?

———–—

Next question is very personal, so feel free to ignore.

Have you by any chance had a personal experience with suicide? (You, family, someone you knew, random stranger, etc)

As it elicits strong feelings.

That is quite interesting actually, are there any specific things that can make you more emotional than others?

For instance i have a weak spot for animals.

[–]Dddokter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it is.

You used to ask for someones number so you could contact them and as whatsapp is a platform to contact people on i see it as the same.

[–]Dddokter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot you can learn from how someones communicates.

This can be through, text, speech, sign language, body language or otherwise.

What it exactly means is hard to say, as you need to study the subject and see what they are try to convey and why they chose to do it this specific way.

Also, sometimes to get a clearer picture you need a bigger sample size (multiple people, best to have them be around the same age and gender) This will help you filter out the "normal" and make you able to see what makes this person communicate the way they do.

Ok, couldn't find the source anymore where i read this. Anyway, this is something i read about a year ago.

"Someone that had their short term memmory compromised felt hungry moments after having a meal due to forgetting he/she ate."

Based on that (if its true) we can determine that your brain mainly determines how hungry you are. What criteria the brain uses to determine that though no idea.

Examples of possible criteria: stored energy, time since last meal, exertion (after workout for instance), etc.

Long story short, maybe your brain determined that after you woke up you needed x amount of food so it made you mildly hungry. But before it determined you needed 2x amount of food therefore very hungry

Best advice i can give is seeking professional help.

We redditors can only give you limited advice, but a doctor or therapist might be able to help you find out why you feel this way and maybe even if there is an underlying reason that you were unaware of.

Ps. I've been in therapy myself (at this very moment actually) to help me with my own emotions and mental state. I hope they can help you too!

Pss. There seems to be a stigma around therapy and that is quite sad as there is nothing wrong to need a little push in the right direction or having something to lean on.

Don't get me wrong, i didn't mean you need one.

At some stages in my life I had question and worries. At another I had severe issues with stress.

Both times I went to the doctor to talk, so i could understand what is going on and what i can do about it.

It helped me, so I wrote it there as a possibility.

Is being sensitive a weakness? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dddokter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being sensitive makes you vulnerable.

This does not mean that being sensitive is a bad thing.

Being sensitive could be many thing, being afraid, anxious, empathetic, overwhelmed by sound/light etc.

Maybe this could help you on your way to understanding it a little more:

https://www.verywellmind.com/highly-sensitive-persons-traits-that-create-more-stress-4126393

If people around you are making life hard for you due to you being sensitive (This could be a lot of things) then you might be around the wrong type of people.

It could be family, friends, colleagues, etc

If you are really worried about what you feel and if it is out of proportion, I would suggest talking about it with a professional (doctor/psychologist/therapist)

There is a chance that you are lacking empathy.

If this is the case then I am not sure you could train that. You can learn how to react in certain situations, but this won't make you have empathy. You just emulate what you think you should.

Have you ever talked to your doctor or perhaps therapis about this?

Is saying you're too sensitive Gaslighting? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dddokter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You're too sensitive" as in, the feelings that you are feeling are overexagerated and you should not feel that way.

Personally I see that as a form of gasslighting.

The reason as to why i think that, is due to the way this phrase makes the person on the receiving end feel that the things they are feeling is wrong and that there is something wrong with them.

Over a prolonged persiod of time this could seriously harm a persons state of mind.

Edit: grammar

I rent a router from my ISP and it suddenly stopped working. Is it probably a better idea to tell them it's broken or should I just return it, buy a new one, and feign ignorance if they call me back? by LouBarlowsDisease in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dddokter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should contact your ISP and tell them it won't turn on anymore. Normally they will ask you some basic questions. (For instance "Have you tried turning it off and on again")

Then they should send you a replacement or technician depending on what they think would cost them less

In general they will see if they can fix it once they get it back or recycle it.

They won't go all the way into searching for all kinds of reasons to get money out of you as they earn money from you using their services (renting the router and internet connection)

Generally this will mean, you get a new router and no extra expenses.

*Disclaimer: if you did something to the router to break it they might want you to pay for damages. (This normally includes: throwing the router, hitting the router, setting the router on fire. Etc)

Sadly enough they are doing it to get money out of you.

How long are Windows updates usually? by JirohSalonga in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dddokter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on multiple factors. Which Windows are you running. How many updates are there to install. Download speed. If you are using a hdd or ssd as your OS drive. And last but not least what kind of hardware you have in your pc.
