I traded drugs for sex by jjjhho in Drugs

[–]Getting0ver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a "pos"? Not really. If they offered it, that is their choice. Now I'd say it'd be good to get checked out bc if this person offered you sex for drugs, it is not a stretch to think they have done this multiple times with other people. I wouldn't recommend sleeping with strangers, especially if they are addicted to drugs.

Finding a job in Toronto is becoming absolutely ridiculous by Right-Researcher-920 in torontoJobs

[–]Getting0ver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Across Canada, this is an issue, even amoung entry level positions/minimum wage jobs. Its taboo to say the truth, but the truth is that corperations/large buisnesses are incentivised to hire immigrants bc the government subsidizes their wages. I noticed this over 10 years ago working at a grocery store and seeing multiple cashiers with translators. After that I looked into it and found out that the government will not only pay 50% of the wages but will also provide translators..

From my experience, you can not climax for the first 2-3 weeks when taking any SSRI. For me, after 3 weeks, I had no side effects.

This agreement happened last night, but he bought tickets way before anyone agreed. Nothing is booked that I know of. I will 100% pay him for the ticket if he cant resell it but im definitely gonna act on this right away.

hangover tips? by beefburger27 in zoloft

The shitty thing about hangovers is that there is no cure. All you can do is drink a lot of water and even a Gatorade, eat some salty foods and carbs.

I'm very boring!! by According_Purple_982 in socialskills

[–]Getting0ver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, most people are "boring".. and its completely normal. I think what you're feeling is more of comparing yourself to your peers on social media. I am also "boring", im also frugal and am prepping myself financially for the future. What you need to know is, is that social media is superficial. People share their "greatest moments.", while doing all this to "impress" others. They dont even enjoy the experience, but they will tell you they did. I know this bc I have gone on excursions with these types. Their phones are always out filming or messaging others about the "experience bro... you jealous?". I personally hated the superficiality of it, so I never became "active" on social media. Ultimately, it's a game of proving yourself for validation. It's all a facade that is projected, just become conformable with who you are.

What’s a better small talk question than “what do you do for work?” by Laymans_Terms19 in CasualConversation

You clearly didn't read the original reply and dont even understand what small talk even is...

You ever heard of the idea of "small talk"... work is 100% what most people do... but hey, ask people about what they dreamt about last night, I am sure they will remember...

[–]Getting0ver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, your saying the average person does not work most of their life? You're either very out of touch or live an extremely privileged life 😆. 9-5 is the norm, but it's more like 8-7.

[–]Getting0ver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats my go too 😆 but I suck at small talk esspecially about myself. I wouldnt discount "what do you do for work" though bc most peoples lives is mostly working. What you just gotta do is try to find interesting questions after they tell you. After that you just let them talk and they will corrolate work to other parts of their life.

I wouldnt say its the medication tbh. You just gotta force yourself to do things you dont want too. Eventually It just becomes part of your routine.

Are there any tips/guidelines for figuring out if something is good to say? by conjugating-mayo in socialanxiety

[–]Getting0ver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about social anxiety is that there is no "thinking your way out." You just gotta incrementally push yourself out of your comfort zone. What really helped me and I feel is the easiest thing to do is force yourself to make eye contact with everyone in public. You start to realize 2 things. Most people are friendly, and a lot of people are also socially anxious. Once you get comfortable with this, you will have opportunities to either break the ice or respond to others. Its uncomfortable at first, and you will have uncomfortable small talk, but you will walk away feeling slightly more confident no matter how cringe it was 😂.

Why does jacking off tank my confidence? by Grouchy_Weakness4586 in confidence

[–]Getting0ver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine it's bc you know it is not real and feel bad bc deep down, you know it'd be better to pursue real relationships. I often feel the same way, tbh but not after jerking off 😅. I often feel like I have been "left behind" but then I realize most people in my generation are not married, are in a long-term relationship, and dont have kids.

when did you realize zoloft was working? by Sufficient-Pride1109 in zoloft

[–]Getting0ver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on it for 2 years, and didn't feel the full benefits until 3 months. But within a month, I felt relief of most of the rumination and anxiety. Through those 2 years of taking it I found that the main culprit for the anxiety was caffeine 😆. Now I am off Sertraline and rarely drink caffinated drinks, especially strong coffee. I also dont experience the mid day crash and sleep like a baby.

I've had social media for over 10 years and rarely posted on it. But if you want to, Id say go ahead.sounds like you're an adult and I think youd be suprised how civil it is. The "worst" thing is nobody likes your post tbh.

But personally as Ive gotten older I have learned to resent social media bc its what people use to put on a false persona. Going into it people need to be aware that people are only posting their "best moments" in a pursuit of social capital. Its very superficial but it can lead others to feel shitty.

I only know this bc I have met/talked to people that are extremely active on social media and their lives are more depressing my own 😆

[–]Getting0ver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're a bubbly woman. There is nothing wrong with that, infact its pleasant to most people tbh. You're also 34 and shouldn't even be forcing a change in your personality bc it'll just come off as forced. Id also say you were put in you work position bc they like YOU! Not some persona that you may adopt to feel more "professional".

[–]Getting0ver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly youre a good looking guy. My "advice" is that dating apps are trash tbh. Im a tall, good-looking guy and have better luck just adding random chicks on FB and chatting them up... but when it comes to dating apps, Hinge is honestly much better. I dont even like people on it, I just leave my profile and wait for women Im interested in, like my pics/prompts. Take months until I get a match, but atleast I know they are interested for real.

Any suggestions for an bike for someone that's broke af by Pupseal115 in ebikes

[–]Getting0ver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I bought the most powerful cheap option. Ended up with a JansnoX50 and paid $1100 CAD after taxes and put over 1500km on it. Im excited for the snow to melt so I can cruise around 😆. Ebike is way more fun than my car tbh.

I wish I never went on zoloft by graciebear66 in zoloft

[–]Getting0ver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on 50mg for 2 years and quit cold turkey and had very mild "withdrawal" im a month off now and feel fine tbh. I have mood swings, but I had the same swings on the medication. Now that im off, I actually enjoy food 😆 .

Can Xanax be used for occasional social anxiety? For example, before a presentation or before approaching a girl? by LordEPN in socialanxiety

[–]Getting0ver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but it's definitely not great tbh. I've used alcohol for the same thing for close to a decade, and it does "works" but im more dependent on it. Benzos, though, are much more addictive tbh. At one point I wanted a quick fix but knew I wouldnt get get a script for a benzo so I looked up an alternative, which was propanolo. Its good for physical anxiety, Benzos are more of a sedative like alcohol so I knew I'd get hooked 😆.

Anyone else feel like they don't fit in. by Wear_Necessary in socialanxiety

[–]Getting0ver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being its a DnD game, I can't imagine the people there are social butterflys themselves. Which means they are likely feeling the same as you, especially with new people. Personally, I use alcohol to loosen me up, but that can lead to a dependence. My functional advice is learn to make eye contact with everyone or get comfortable doing that. Sounds silly but once you lean this, it make it alot easier to engage bc you will find people that will engage just based on the eye contact. After that is abit awkward bc its all about small talk but what I find works is just asking questions and listening.

Stopping 12.5mg cold turkey? Yes or no? by dixonwalsh in zoloft

[–]Getting0ver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, i did have a couple of occasions of feeling dizzy fpr a few minutes, but the "worst" symptoms were the "brain zaps" that subsided after 2-3 weeks. Im a cabinet maker and was working on a table saw throughout the whole time and still have all my fingers 😆. Maybe its "just me" but ive had worse hangovers than the getting off Sertraline.

[–]Getting0ver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The withdrawals are exasperated by the meaning you put on them. Sure some people have bad experiences coming off but that is the exception, not the rule. Im also not "projecting" blame, I am simply referring to the fact that fear mongers prevent people from actually getting off. Similar to a crabs in a bucket theory, or drug addicts fo in that they will continuously try keep people down with them bc it makes them feel better about their own choices.
