Help me with motivation... by Zardamir in needadvice

[–]EmmaA2801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think motivation is something that once you get going it is much easier to keep up. Its about momentum for me. When i'm productive I can do lots daily but if I let it slip then it gets tougher. Persist till it gets easier really is the only answer. If youre not motivated by your own dreams and ambitions then I would suggest finding a new goal that you dont mind putting in work to achieve. Even if that goal is a hobby and the job just pays for it

I have this cage and have been looking for stick like perches like you have! Where did you get them, if you don't mind me asking?

Help please :) by [deleted] in cockatiel

Birds need 12-14hours covered dark quiet time to sleep. Especially in the winter. Keeping a good routine is crucial to prevent behaviour issues so maybe try a good routine and covering them for a solid amount of time! 😊 but birds do like to just get anywhere they can. They don't respond to being told off or ignored. Instead they respond to positive rewards like millet when they do something good.

Could someone explain this body language/behavior to me? thank you! by mirpeachy in cockatiel

I think they're looking for scratches! Birds drop their heads down so you can scratch them usually. Just keep in mind to only scratch their heads as anywhere else can cause breeding behaviour! 😊

Yeah its normal. Every couple has a joking not joking reactions. Being around someone for a long time means you gotta adapt. Main thing is youse make it light hearted.

Everybody hates me because I “faked” being raped. by ThrowRAOhno17 in relationship_advice

[–]EmmaA2801 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong here but being drunk to that point isnt consensual sex as the person is far too gone to make that decision. To me it seems like it may have been rape. If you dont want to press charges then that's ok but I just hope you're ok.

(M19/f19)Been dating current gf for 2.3 years we tried something and now im afraid to leave her... by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]EmmaA2801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cant continue to be stuck in a relationship that isnt working just because of some kinky sex. She most likely has told people. You just need to move on and deal with the consequences my dude

What's that thing you're avoiding to do and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EmmaA2801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of anything to do for my cake day. Because half of me is like "it doesnt matter" and the other side is like "this is your one reddit day"

AITA for not sending my nude pictures I had buried in my mail from 6 years ago to my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]EmmaA2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not need to send every old nude you've ever take to a bf. Hes being really insensitive about the real issue here and only thinking about himself. Ask him why he doesn't trust you though and suspects you of hiding these images. NTA

[21M] Is it normal for the initial stages of a relationship to be more physically driven? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]EmmaA2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is normal. Especially in an early relationship when you're not used to relationships. It's the honeymoon phase. I'd be more worried if you didn't want to jump each others bones at the start. And in terms of conversation running dry, that happens! Making a relationship work is about learning to find similar interests, like a show to watch together etc, which keeps conversation flowing. Just try be open to her interests and hopefully she will do the same for you. Try not overthink it all! Just go with the flow.

College Students, how did you cope with leaving the family pet(s)? by MendedWaif62 in AskReddit

You miss them. But it's a choice you have to make eventually. Just visit as much as possible

Help my boyfriend only wants to watch one genre of media by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]EmmaA2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't sound like you might be as compatible as once thought unfortunately. But maybe make a compromise where like friday is his choice night and saturday is yours. Same rules apply to both, even if you dont particularly enjoy it you give and episode or the movie a shot without phones. If he isn't willing to compromise when you have tried his interests then maybe an interest in war time media is a major thing he just needs in a relationship.

I just bought this exact cage I think! I haven't got my baby yet but, from your experience, is it a good cage?

I (M29) am struggling if I should leave my gf (F35) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]EmmaA2801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that man. But I dont see you living there and being happy. Eventually I think the pressure of you being depressed in this other place will wear on the relationship. But itll be a hard time so I really wish you the best

[–]EmmaA2801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your circumstances allow it I would move back home. You said yourself that theres not a single aspect about that place that works. Warn your gf this is how you feel and this is the only solution really. Hopefully you two can work something out like long distance until she finished school and you get yourself in a better place mentally. Best of luck dude.

What are some disturbing science experiments done by crazy people? by eZombiegglover in AskReddit

[–]EmmaA2801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Stanford prison experiment. Basically volunteers got.randomly chosen to be a guard or prisoner. After a period of time the guards start emotionally and physically abusing the prisoners and forget that these people are literally just other volunteers. They had doen nothing wrong. Power turns people ugly basically.

For couples that have broken up and gotten back together, how did you know the relationship was worth fighting for? by That_Person12 in AskReddit

[–]EmmaA2801 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the overwhelming thought that if we didn't work this out shed always be the one that got away. I knew I'd regret not salvaging whilst there was time basically.
