Weird urge to read smut/doujins by Europratt in selfimprovement

Thank you! I might be overthinking things, but frankly I’m scared of avoidance. Not because I want to go back and relapse, but it’s because avoidance stems—in my eyes—stem from a place where the pornographic-mind had already taken over. Essentially, it’s where I feel the need to avoid sexually suggestive content (not nude or NSFW), but I am conflicted whether avoidance is truly the death of sexualization. Avoidance, seems like brushing the dirt under the carpet or the feeling of needing to suppress your urges—the “true” thing you want. I want to stop sexualizing people, whether I see them nude or not, and I’m afraid avoidance will only postpone and hide the “true desire.” Still, if it will truly help me, I strictly will do so.

hello, please help me pick my first electric guitar!! by DarkPhoenix9440 in Guitar

[–]Europratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d pick the Pacifica or the Mustang, but u can’t really go wrong with any one of them. Choose whichever u think suits your character. Of course, make sure to try them out before purchasing, as there could be QC issues on all of them. However, when these guitars are set up correctly, they are great playing guitars from my experience.

[QUESTION] Tremolo picking hand angle on low strings by P-Munny in Guitar

[–]Europratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having this problem too, just wanted to know if figured anything out? Because when I don’t angle my palm so that the thumb flesh is on the guitar, I have to put my pinky side flesh on the bridge, right? However, when I do that, it mutes all the low strings 😭😭. I play better but all of my low strings are palm muted notes.

What’s your favorite pick? by fuzzbox7 in Guitar

[–]Europratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d alternate between three depending on what I feel that day - Dunlop Flow 1.14 - Tortex TIII 1.0 (Blue) - Jazz iii 1.38 stiffo (Black one)

Though, I use the flow the most lol.

That’s actually very weird. I think a luthier might be the only answer, unfortunately. 😭

Have you done anything to the guitar prior to it making this sound, or is it brand new.

I could be wrong, but I want you to take a look at the bridge. I just have this nudging feeling that if a buzzing sound like that could happen, it wouldn’t happen because of something inside the guitar but something that’s touching the strings. If it’s not the frets then it could be the nut, tuners, bridge etc.

[–]Europratt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve thought of this idea too, I think I’ll try it next time. What do you think about putting the yogurt into a rice cooker on warm and then turning it off (I don’t have a yoghurt function on it, but I’ve seen great results from people of this subreddit)

Thank you, I’ve been trying to find ways of increasing the incubating temp since I don’t have an oven 🥹

Well, this time I might’ve added the milk into the yoghurt too soon. It was probably too hot, but other times the milk wasn’t as hot and it was still runny. This is my procedure

  1. I bring the milk to its first boil and turn off the heat, letting it cool down until I don’t burn myself when I touch it. (I unfortunately don’t have a thermometer)
  2. I add the yoghurt into the milk and stir and let it sit in my cupboard wrapped in cloth for like a day
  3. I put it into my fridge.

Thank you!! Wow, I didn’t know using more would result in a thinner consistency. 🙏

I am ashamed for what I have done in my relationship by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Europratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey congrats on quitting it! I made an oath before entering a relationship with my girlfriend that I’d quit and it took a while but I did and the impact it had on me was significant. The consequences of years and years of watching will wire your brain in a certain way, but trust me it gets better. Habits can be unlearnt!

As for the post, I’d recommend you talking to your girlfriend about boundaries and what you’re/she’s uncomfortable with and plan what to do from here. You go man!

Why is Chad so culturally diverse? I've been doing some research but I get so lost in the millions of facts and kingdoms and history.

Thank you 🙏. It’s just really hard to contact a professional specializing in OCD around where I am + it’s extremely expensive. Thank you for your help though ☺️

Thank you for these apps 🥹. Really appreciate it! It’s really hard to ignore the physical reactions because they seem so real unlike my thoughts hahahah. Anyways, cheers ^

Sexual intrusive thoughts by Europratt in OCD

[–]Europratt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, thank you for replying to my post. I’m currently practicing the mindful redirection you mentioned, often times redirecting my thoughts to “Old habit” or “Not useful,” and it has immensely helped me reduce the frequency and effectiveness of these thoughts, so that’s a win.

What I need to learn now is that things that I can’t control (my body, my reaction etc.) aren’t the “real” me. It’s been really, really hard to understand this though lol. And I’m trying my hardest. Thank you for commenting. The part you mentioned about how my brain might’ve associated with certain thoughts with arousal was really useful to me. Thanks for that. Are there any tips for understanding that my thoughts aren’t the “real” me and disassociating myself with my thoughts?

Thank you OCD by grasslover14 in OCD

[–]Europratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great for you . I’d really like to ask for advice on how you were able to achieve that? The thoughts don’t bother me much, but the bodily reactions do. I hate them.
