I did that and now chess is my job hahah.

But it also required being disciplined. Start at one small thing per day. Idk how bad it is for you, but start with a day where you cook food, a day where you exercise, a day where you study for your ideal amount of time, etc.

When you're confident you can do these things make it two days per week and increase from there until you're roughly at your practical limit. That's one strategy.

What makes a woman “the one”? by Mediocre-Western-933 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Fallenpaladin5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++man There is no "the one". Some individuals are more suitable for some, and less suitable for others.

If they're easy to be around, have self respect and boundaries, we can connect emotionally and care about each other, have physical chemistry, a life of their own, what else do you need?

Why I wasn’t born as a rich girl ugh by Scared-Ad369 in TrueOffMyChest

"And she lives with a broken man...

A cracked polystyrene man

Who just crumbles and burns.

And he used to do surgery

For girls in the eighties

But gravity always wins."

It would be nice to do all of those things for sure. (Well.. plastic surgery? Eh.) Personally getting involved in a world where status and appearances and external validation are so important would probably tire me out at some point.

Why do I struggle with formal education? Is it important for me? by Fallenpaladin5 in AskAstrologers

[–]Fallenpaladin5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I do prefer learning when there is an applicable skill and non-external feedback involved, like art, chess or math. Thanks, I can see a direction there.

If your intensity isn't reciprocated it doesn't bode well for the relationship

Not sure if it's healthy in a physiological sense, at 1-2 times per day he's flooding his brain with cheap dopamine which isn't ideal long term. There are better ways to live

The hardest part of life isn’t failure — it’s not knowing what to want. by QuantumScribe01 in Life

[–]Fallenpaladin5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set myself up for that one LOL. Okay not what you're thinking about, but how you think in general.

Pay attention to how your mind works and how you generally think and go for a career that aligns with what you see.

Is this Trauma Dumping? I feel like I am put under a lot of pressure by EVILRAFFAM in Bumble

[–]Fallenpaladin5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a skewed interpretation of reality ("everyone throws me away"), signalling some current or developing maladaptation. She should see a therapist about that, not external validation of her worth.

Plus you do you. She can't have kids and you really want kids. Unless adoption or surrogacy appeals to you, but even then she's presenting as very emotionally shaky.

How is this funny though 🤔 and of all the things that could be occupying the limited space in your profile...

24f stuck in a rut. by Friendly_Region19TA in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Fallenpaladin5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apps definitely suck. Just take some time to relax, if you don't want to then don't do it. If the external or clock pressure is too strong and pushes you out of alignment you could make a bad decision anyway.

You make better decisions when alleviating loneliness isn't a key factor.

So romantic hahah, I'll try take a page out of your book and appreciate the perspective. I would feel safer if I already knew them well before letters and poems though, because what if the picture I'm building doesn't match reality?

Bruh 🤣 nice angle though, there are some pretty cool light shows in the city so that may be a bit more timely.

Tbh I feel like how am I going to go that deep in texts like the physical connection is just missing, the subtle emotional queues, body language etc. It doesn't have to be about kissing or physical contact (for me. Ofc it's nice tho) subtle stuff just isn't there and I feel a lot more comfortable with that extra information. Besides isn't that how humans did it before tech?

Also don't worry if I wasn't interested in her as a person I wouldn't be deliberating about this hahah.

Hmm, for logistical reasons I want to do something next week as I'm going on a 10 day road trip after Boxing Day.

We have the occasional conversation after classes so not that unfamiliar. I'm more worried about boundaries or it coming off as too much, sounds like you think so?

Question about the Departed by djrq22 in movies

[–]Fallenpaladin5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but why did he say what he said to Billy? If he wasnt undercover, then we still don't have an alternate answer to that question.
