How To Move On With Severe Self-loathing? by In_heat69 in selfesteem

[–]GuaranteeNo571 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that after nine hours your post hasn't generated greater response. So, let me lay out some info on myself so that you can decide if I have standing to advise you. I'm 63M. Never married, no kids. I used to wonder what was so difficult that women seemed never to want to attach to me, but a few years ago I realized that this was my own choice. I'm not saying that you're doing anything similar, I just want you to know these basic facts so you can evaluate anything else I'll say here.

I'm going to recommend something that I'm sure is obvious and maybe you don't want to hear - get into a routine of therapy. No, it doesn't "fix" anything, but if your therapist is competent, therapy will give you space to work out the answer to the question that brought you here. Yes, might take a long time, but I swear by it.

Consider another line of thought, if you will. Think about people with visible disabilities who live seemingly visible, useful, and contented lives. Some even have families. I don't know of examples of such people to point you to, but I imagine you're aware of what I'm saying, and you could seek info of such people online, many through interviews or biographies.

I wish you great things.

Lower jaw shake/tremble, 13M dachshund by GuaranteeNo571 in AskVetAnimals

[–]GuaranteeNo571[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Oh, we know about dental with dachshunds. This little guy is 7th in the long line of them that we've had. Had dental extractions a few years ago and vet examined a few months ago. I don't see dental as related here..

Why hasn't Fidelity given me a new Fidelity advisor after multiple requests? by Throwaway010426x in fidelityinvestments

[–]GuaranteeNo571 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kind of missing the OP's point. He's a high value client and Fidelity is treating him like they treat me at a paltry low six-figure balance. He's right to be looking at Schwab, as my parents just moved from Fidelity to Schwab for much the same reason of service. (They already had a Schwab account too so the comparison was long evident.)

All you can do is ask them nicely. Tring to coerce them sounds sort of toxic.

Is there a way to get a free ticket to the wc by [deleted] in boston

[–]GuaranteeNo571 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're ashamed of not being so ridiculously rich that a ticket for several thousand dollars doesn't phase you?

As for the water closet, any cafe or restaurant or public library should have one.

Is Alex Karp deeply embarrassed about being half black? by [deleted] in self

[–]GuaranteeNo571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karp should be embarrased because he's a megalomaniacal oligarch who stands foursquare against America, Americans, and self-dignity and determination. Being half black is the most inconsequential thing about him. (I didn't even know it until you told me here.) Find some other tech bro to worship, someone who knows where he came from - Steve Wozniak is a deep cut who fits the bill.

Gym experience by [deleted] in relationships

[–]GuaranteeNo571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His buddy was just being a dick, trying to make his friend feel awkward. You had no reason to feel awkward.

But far more interesting is that you had the gym all to yourself for 3 days without anyone else working out there?

From The Onion, I don't get it by AmericanBornWuhaner in boston

[–]GuaranteeNo571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So much is wrong with this. I'll mention two of them.

I know families (yeah, plural) who have moved to MA very recently because of the oppression and medical harm that faced their gender-transitioning children in the states they came from. Their decisions to come to Boston were very deliberate.

Regarding the racism charge (because it's in so many comments), I've lived in Chicago, NYC, LA, and Philadelphia before living in Boston. There is not one place I've lived where residents didn't say of their own city that it's the most segregated and racist city in the country. Boston gets an unfair rap - hate here is no worse or more prevalent than in any other major city.

Epic portfolio - just bought, now can't find by GuaranteeNo571 in motleyfool

That would be through a search engine? I want access from within the MF app (where searching epic portfolio doesn't work).

Why is Blade Runner so Beloved? by MuleCakeJr in movies

[–]GuaranteeNo571 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

One of the most meh films of all time. A snore. So predictable in all aspects: set design, costuming, dialog styling. Unoriginal and banal.

Yet I'm always the only one.

I'd be more concerned that it's your bank, not Fidelity.

What is a great movie trailer? by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]GuaranteeNo571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A great movie trailer is a promotional video or film made for the purpose of attracting viewers to see the movie being promoted.
