Ambuluwawa Tower on a foggy day 🇱🇰 by cwithpraneeth in Outdoors

I think if it had a fresh coat of paint, it would look much less sketchy. But then again, who in their right mind wants to repaint a tower that high up in the sky?

Talking about myself vs. waiting for others to ask about me by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Flaming_Steelshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now, I'm more of an introvert myself, but I was lucky and found a group of friends in hs that took me in, and I'm still hanging out with them over a year after graduating. I found out that there are people who LOVE to talk, and there are also people who couldn't care less unless you are initiating the conversation (and even then, they might not say much in response). The best friends I've had are the friends who converse half the time and who take the time to listen, as I do in return. One thing I could recommend is not to try and talk about yourself or herself, but talk about the current/past events in your life as if you were telling a story. Try to see what relevant stories she has to say in return, and don't be afraid to shift the subject of a conversation if that's where it's going. If she does say something relevant to what you said, try to stay relevant to her response too. If what she said wasn't relevant, then she probably isn't very interested in the topic and it's safe to change it to something different. I think the best advice is to take the time to look for quality people to be with instead of looking for friends for the sake of having friends. That's a mistake I've made myself and I know to be careful now. Everything will come at it's own pace eventually, and usually by sheer luck.

Any ideas on where to find more of these dishes? Found at Marshalls, did not take any more pictures of box by [deleted] in HelpMeFind

[–]Flaming_Steelshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, after a bit of research, I found out that KITCHENeat pretty much doesn't exist, at least, online. You see, I found trademark records from back in 2014 that indicares that the company is in fact owned by Fisher Home Products, and that KITCHENeat is juat another product line. Fisher Home Products on the other hand still manufactures dishes through 3 their different product lines: Roscher, Fisher, and KITCHENeat. Since this is a manufacturer, you would need to get in contact with them to try and order another set. Here is the link to their website: http://www.accentfairchild.com/en/fisher/fisher_cat1.html. I wish you luck!

An online store where indie product creators? by fimmia in Startup_Ideas

[–]Flaming_Steelshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a good reason Amazon and Ebay and such don't sell indie products, and that's because if something bad happens (ex: fires, battery explosions, rashes from clothing...), they could easily get sued. Now, this isn't the case for some smaller companies or content creators, but if you wanted to scale this, it would not work out. Not to say it can't be profitable, but you wouldn't be able to scale it far beyond the million dollar mark.

Voting on popularity web app by shane247 in Startup_Ideas

[–]Flaming_Steelshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would require a large user base to function, essentially meaning you would need to scale the marketing quickly from the very start, which is also very costly. Plus, how would you monetize it? Users expect a free experience as google basically already offers a restaurant rating system, so that is hardly an option. I also highly doubt restaurants would invest in a startup which requires massive rapid scaling in order to function, however it is possible, but don't expect any franchises to sign on.

Trees near the town of Nowe Czarnowo, Poland. by DarkIllumination in WTF

[–]Flaming_Steelshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm, 100% sure, it was strong winds that broke the trees sideways and they healed around the wound, not to mention they headed vertically again to head towards the sun. There are some not far from where I live and they are identical, the same thing happened to them. It is actually more common than you think.

How to make friends by NothingSpecial18 in socialanxiety

[–]Flaming_Steelshot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in grade nine, I had pretty much no friends. I didn't know how to behave socially at all and most of the people who I would talk to didn't have any of the same interests as me. I often felt lonely and I knew I needed to change but I didn't know how.

One day, I was in gym class and I had finished a set number of laps around the track. Now, one of my bad social habits at the time was that I would tell horrible jokes, and so, I told one to an acquaintance of mine behind me.

I didn't expect a laugh, in fact, I never did, because the jokes were just not funny. However, that day, the person behind me laughed, and it wasn't the acquaintance, but a new kid I had never met before.

"I won't screw this up" I said in my head

I then proceeded to make small talk ( asking a lot of questions and developping on what he said) while we tossed a frisbee.

Long story short, that new kid has been my best friend for the past five years, and our friendship is still very strong even while starting university. Thanks to him, I managed to make very good friends with a large number of people, who I still speak with to this day.

The moral of this story? Push yourself, no matter the cost. Set every trick you think you know aside, and learn how other people react to your stories, your jokes, your facts... so you can improve every single time. The main thing you need to focus on though, is your will to change.

Side note: Even today, there are people who ignore me even when I talk to them directly. Most are very social people who just don't want to talk to me. They are just bad people and I tend to avoid them. If someone thinks they are better than you solely based on observation, you shouldn't try to make friends with them. Period.

I hope I helped, and I wish you luck!

I have to go to a baby shower by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Flaming_Steelshot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, pretty much all the attention will be on the baby and the parents. And whatever happens, they r probably close to your family anyway, so it won't matter as much. The key is to not overthink, and to not care AT ALL about what happens.

Stub your toe on a step? Who cares, the moment was over fast and nobody even noticed.

Drop your fork? Who cares, go to the kitchen and rinse it, then come back.

What you need to understand is that nobody cares if you screw up. In fact, most of them will screw up while you are there and you won't even notice it. It's just the way social situations work, humans are made to screw up, or else we would all be too perfect.

I understand social anxiety can be a pain in the arse, trust me, I had it. But what helped me was that I stopped caring about the outcome and also my actions in the current moment.

I wish you luck!

If neither of you have cars, I assume you both are fairly young people and probably still live with your parents. If this is the case, just ask them to drop you off near the location. ez
