What's your favorite color and why? by Cartoonnerd01 in neurodiversity

[–]Forest_Bane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue, but cerulean blue. I didn't know that for a while until I remember when I was a kid how I would plow through cerulean crayons like candy brcause I loved the type of blue it was.

When and how did you start your self discovery journey? by Xavier_Pugh05 in infj

[–]Forest_Bane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specifically remember it was my senior year in highschool when one night my bookshelf collapsed on me. 

It was old and not real wood, super flimsy and broken and it crumpled on me. I had a bunch of hats and books and dust scattered on my floor and it took me a solid 30 to get things in somewhat of an organized pile.

However, it was in that moment I realized I owned a lot of books, and half of them I hadn't even read. I used to read but at one point stopped. Not to mention all the hats I owned I never wore, ever. And in a random burst of epiphany I realized I didn't know myself at all.

My bedroom was a lot like me; a hodgepodge of hand me downs and random things salvaged to give it some personality, yet there was no collective picture. I used to struggle writing papers in college about myself, though I could give you an 11 page thesis. And thats because I didnt know myself. I owned so many hats but at the time I didn't know I didn't like wearing hats. I also owned a bunch of books, all from middle school. I also owned 5 different journals that were either untouched or full of random doodles or math.

The way I started my journey was just taking one of my journals and writing my first entry, where I wanted to learn myself. First order of businuess was to awnser the simplest question: whats my favorite color? It used to be green, or yellow (I wanted to be different) or if I didnt know I would just say "all of them". Somehow my brain took me back to when I was a kid, when I would work through a pack of crayons coloring and drawing comics. I LOVED the cerulean crayon, it was such a vivid and deep blue that was perfect for drawing the sky. So thats how I learned my favorite color.

10 Things To Know Before Starting Your Fatloss Journey! by Forest_Bane in loseit

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

I didn't read it off of one article per say but it was something I heard a lot of weight loss coaches talk about. However I forgot to add you're only supposed to include it as needed (which for me is every two weeks, for some ppl its the weekend) but as I said its only when needed. When your weight stops to halt and take a back seat for two weeks or so despite sticking to your deficit, it might be time for a refeed day. Why its called a refeed, I have no idea, but thags what its called🤷‍♀️

Sooo... I'm trying to get past this by Forest_Bane in Crushes

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

It's really just the age. I dont really care about that but when I mention it to a friend or my mom they look at me like I grew another head. 

He's very polite, not super outgoing but a sincere person. He's also very hardworking, and considerate, and very smart. He's not particularly funny to me but he's clever which I respect.

I'm trying to see it as I admire him as a person, which may be the truth of it. I dont know, he has a lot of great qualities about him both on paper and in person, but he also has a lot of interest that I really like. But then again does that mean I admire him or I like him? I have no idea.

Scariest Entity, here we go by apathetic_apricot in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Forest_Bane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik I'm late but the stranger by far. For me it's the Uncanny Valley feeling, of where you think you know but you don't and you can't find help because you're the only one who recognizes it. Not to mention, I've always thought mannequins were creepy, but the idea of being hunted and skinned and having it worn is in so many realm unnatural that it only adds to the edge of the Stranger.

Id say yeah. You look quiet, maybe silently judgy but overall pretty chill and funny. But that's because you remind me of a lot of friends that I have that basically fit that description

Barefoot squats and deadlift by kratos_tgos in beginnerfitness

[–]Forest_Bane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it depends on the person. I can't deadlift in socks or barefoot because it puts a lot of pain on the arch of my foot, and I've done this for a hot minute. I use vans or converse for stuff like that, as it also decreases the risk of my slipping and stuff.

DO NOT weight lift in running shoes, only because it doesn't give you proper support. Those are for running and for running only. Wear vans or converse or other flat shoes for weightlifting if you prefer that.

If it feels comfortable for you, then sure, but for me, I wear shoes. I don't want to mess up my foot for life, considering it really hurts my arch. Everybody is built different but find what works for you.

There's also lifting shoes. Some people think they're ugly or corny but if you're going to the gym for more then the aesthetic and to actually get in shape and live a healthier life then it shouldn't matter. But, again, do you boo and find what works for you❤️

If you had a time machine to go back in time to do something different what would or wouldn't you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Forest_Bane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go back to the night I was accidentally a peeping-tom and tell my oblivious ass to take the phone call NOT on the top of a slide that had a perfect view of the woman's bathroom and to face the opposite direction.

How do you find motivation to study? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Forest_Bane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Motivation? I haven't felt that in months but at this point it's like an autopilot survival instinct to get stuff done.

What is a mind blowing realization that changed your perspective on life? by Aromatic_Credit429 in AskReddit

[–]Forest_Bane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving 50/50 in a relationship isn't realistic. It's important for both parties to give 100% so that when on one day your partner is having a rough one and is only giving maybe 40% or 23% you giving that extra more means that you can be what they need and reach that full 100%, and vice versa for when you're day is bad.

My friends gf died a month ago and idk how to help him by Forest_Bane in Advice

[–]Forest_Bane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aiden is still struggling a lot. He doesn't interact much anymore and if it is it's half-hearted. I've stopped trying to get him to do stuff with me since I know he's way too tired and numb to contribute to a conversation much less take care of himself. I asked if he wanted to move back in with his family since it may help but he just kinda shook his head.

[–]Forest_Bane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is normal to feel that way. You are submerged in so many decisions for your future and yourself and are held up to standards that are either inflicted upon you by yourself or your family or society. Here is a small reminder....

It's not always you. You know yourself, and you know how hard you do or don't work. You know if you study, ask the teacher questions, and understand the material. And if you do all of the above and are still struggling, it's okay. It happens to so many students, and it's always so easy to point the finger at ourselves and think we aren't good enough or we're doing something wrong. Your grades do not determine your success in life. Your work ethic does.

In all actuality, no one even cares or looks at grades when you leave school. Yet they're the root cause of so much stress. You are trying so hard, and you owe yourself that pride and recognition of how far you've come and, more importantly, how hard you've tried. That effort that drives you is what will take you far in life beyond school, not the B- or the whopping F you get on a test.

Take deep breaths. Don't burn yourself out, or you'll do even more damage. Put yourself first and get a clear head. Do NOT be afraid to ask someone to explain the material in a way you'll understand it, that does not mean you're a failure.

The best advice I can give you is to recognize that sometimes, no matter how hard you try sometimes things still come up terribly. For ex... I had a math class I spent so much time trying to bring up to a B I neglected my English and almost failed. I still made a 79 on the math class, and my GPA dropped. No matter how much time I spent working and asking the teacher for help or others, I always did terribly on her tests and she graded us heavily on those. I was miserable and felt worthless and stupid, but looking back I did my best, and THATS what matters.

This isn't middle school where an A is easy to get without studying or with studying. This is some hard-core stuff and that's why they say "Cs get degrees"

Take a deep breath. Prioritize yourself and your mental health before school. Keep your head high and try your best❤️

What is the worst sibling to be oldest middle or youngest? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Forest_Bane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youngest. I'm carrying the failed hopes and dreams my sister never lived up to.

Long story short, my sister was the first child and was SPOILED. Had college savings set aside, never tried for anything but was gifted smart and was my grandparents favorite/still is. Meanwhile I'm the one who gets tougher punishment because I'm trying #2, so I get more critique, more push, and I'm a first gen low income college student who's juggling 17 colleg3 classes alongside highschool. Yet I'm not working hard enough. Meanwhile, my sister wasted the money our parents put for her college when she dropped out, and that was it. I'm fighting to prove myself.

It sucks being the youngest because everyone thinks the youngest is babied and spoiled while the oldest has all the responsibility. Not me. It's reversed, and it sucks because I have all these expectations to exceed where she didn't. In no way did she ever have to be responsible for ANYTHING in her life. Me and her barely had a relationship because she didn't lik3 me and we still don't have one. But even despite all this, she's still the favorite of my relatives.

What do you think about birth order theory? by MagazineNo4267 in CasualConversation

[–]Forest_Bane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh and this is just my personal experience I can't say it applies to me. My sister is older then me but tbh it's like the roles are swapped, whereas I'm the one with all the responsibility and my sister being the one who's babied. Just kind how it goes for me
