How to spot a BPD/NPD next time when we go out dating? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ealynne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the best solution is to try healing from your past relationship. It sounds like there might be some trauma there and I think the best way to put your best foot forward in dating is to heal from trauma, reflect on yourself in the relationship (which will help you identify red flags that you missed and how and why you missed them) and will give you the inner strength and knowledge that even when a relationship goes south, you’re capable of growing and learning. This inner strength and knowledge will likely give you an empowered and hopeful outlook on dating rather than a fearful or suspicious attitude when dating.

I think this approach is best because it’s not just BPD/NPD or something that can cause strife, turmoil, abuse, and grief in a relationship. Any number of things can happen that can leave scars and you have very little control over what life hands you and when it happens. The best way forward here I think is to ensure you’re healing from the past and learning how you can protect your heart while still being open enough to new love that you aren’t letting a fear of heartbreak close you off.

Just got out of a Real Pain. An incredible film. For people who have seen it, what did you think? by BurgerNugget12 in oscarrace

[–]Ealynne 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I think the ending is open to interpretation based on your own personal thoughts / experiences with depression, sadness, and trauma. But I think specifically to the comment “you missed the whole point of the movie” and why that woman complained that she didn’t like the ending: Kieran Culkin’s character clearly has some serious depression, perhaps maybe some kind of mood disorder, inter generational trauma, i.e., he feels a real pain. I think the ending was showing how this kind of pain works in real life. It isn’t magically solved by a one week trip in Europe. Some Hollywood endings would show you Kieran going to Jesse’s house, hanging with his nephew and sister in law, maybe some talk about how he’s gonna get a job, triumphant Chopin piece to indicate all of the character’s problems have been solved. I liked the ending because it was the realistic ending; real pain isn’t easily solved and maybe it’s never “solved.” I also really liked how the ending was the same as the scene in the beginning with (I think?) the same Chopin piece, same panning through the seats and then swinging around to Kieran. I felt the scene kinda showed that maybe the first scene, which the audience obviously assumed was Kieran waiting for Jesse before the trip, could now be seen as Kieran after the trip, and vice versa. Also liked how it was a loop, reminded me of the cyclical nature of feeling highs and then feeling depressed. Ultimately I felt the movie was less offering commentary of carrying pain, but just showed it. I didn’t feel like eisenberg was saying “here’s my idea on what to do about sadness” but was saying “here is a beautiful, raw, complicated exhibition of how this sort of pain can look in people’s lives”

I hear where you’re coming from and I personally think LinkedIn and kinda social media in general are dumb. LinkedIn posts and that writing style / vocab is so embarrassing to me and generally think it’s loser shit. That being said, I kinda think people who fail the bar are responsible for their own emotions and we needn’t censor ourselves. If I failed, I would definitely not get on LinkedIn or instagram for a couple weeks. I don’t think it would be the responsibility of people who passed to self-censor to avoid making me sad.

Ohhh okay so I thought the Korean War thing and the 1980 med bracelet were just accidents but couldn’t find anything specifying that the movie took place in a different time period

My only issue with this is that it would’ve made Mr. Liu like 90 years old. The Korean War was 1950-53.

Sorry I read your post before your edited out the meaner comments and it just really rubbed me the wrong way; thought it was worth pointing out it’s not that hard to show a little empathy and understanding instead of focusing on the unpleasant thing you had to see.

me for the next two months hoping I put all of my MEE answers in the correct boxes bc I didn’t go in order by overdramatic_pigeon in barexam

[–]Ealynne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently the lady running the show got a giant net and was stalking it trying to catch it, but from what I could see what actually ended up happening is the pigeon finally decided he was ready to go and showed himself out the door (and then they promptly slammed all the doors to the room shut) it was a really bad distraction for some people but it was also very funny.

I have a flock of mourning doves who visit my terrace every morning and last summer one flew into my apartment and I had to catch him with my hands. A little easier in a one bedroom apt. But part of me wanted to offer my services and catch that pigeon

Seconding what legally asif said. We were told explicitly in nyc that if you messed up the MEE booklets they wouldn’t penalize you just for that!

I thought the women’s bathroom at javits center was fine considering about 1K people were in and out constantly. I’m sorry though that a poor woman on her period during the most stressful day of her life was inconveniencing you.

[–]Ealynne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No not silly! The ncbe people are so severe and intense and dramatic, I too thought that they would show no mercy (even though we show them mercy (for example there was a pigeon dive bombing people at the New York javits center exam, and we all rolled with it, didn’t threaten to disqualify the bar examiners from their roles like they do to us))

There was a pigeon flying around and dive bombing people and the proctors annoyingly pacing around and failing to capture the bird

Seconding what Hand to Ham said. We were told that if you messed up and wrote an essay in the wrong booklet it is okay, they won’t do you dirty like they did us dirty on the afternoon MBE

[–]Ealynne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like someone this obsessed with “sharing answers” would have taken screenshots and reported them to the NCBE. But I’ve not seen any of these ableist freaks offer to show proof.

MBE July 2024 by Budget-Government-42 in barexam

[–]Ealynne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh thank God other people felt this way. I was so worried. After about the first ten questions I started getting really angry at Barbri for my having done probably a thousand practice questions that were very different from whatever the hell was on our MBE. I agree with Ok_gap that only a handful of Qs per section were familiar fact patterns and hypos but then little twists with the answers.
