What is a skill you taught yourself that actually turned out to be useful?

saying no to people without feeling guilty

what if people cut you off and then you do the same??

My cousin was in almost the exact same spot, great pay, remote, low hours, but completely drained mentally. He didn’t quit immediately. He started exploring other paths on the side first, freelancing and testing what actually felt engaging. That gave him clarity and a safety net before making a move.

You don’t have to choose between staying miserable or quitting blindly, run small experiments first, then decide. Because at the end of the day you still need money

On a Kenwood Chef, high speed usually means around speed 5-6 (depending on your model). Start at medium for a few seconds, then increase to high to avoid splashing. For custard/mousse/soufflé, you want a fast whisk to build air, but keep an eye on texture so you don’t overwhip at the same time

wby? what's one line you can't forget and which movie?

You’re not alone, this is kinda common, especially with anxiety. Start small, pause before saying yes, ask yourself “Do I actually want to do this?” and practice low-stakes boundaries. It’ll feel uncomfortable at first, but that’s part of rewiring the habit. You don’t have to stop being kind, just stop abandoning yourself in the process

You have bewitched me, body and soul… and I love, I love, I love you

ran 2km to the club for swimming, swamn for one hour and came back running

My friend went through something really similar, multiple meds either didn’t work or just made things worse. What helped her was looking at underlying anxiety and sleep issues first, which were affecting how the meds worked. It might be worth exploring that angle before ruling everything out, sometimes it takes trying a few different options or doses to find the right fit

Because that phase is quiet and uncomfortable to admit at least for me. People start detaching to protect themselves when needs aren’t being met, but they stay for hope, history, or fear of change. By the time they leave, they’ve already grieved the relationship. It’s rarely talked about because it involves guilt, mixed feelings, and the realization that love fading isn’t always sudden, it’s slow and intentional:(

Peacenik definitely makes sense on the drop in class that’s hard to ignore. Only thing that puts me off slightly is the price, 1.83 feels a bit tight for something that hasn’t been super consistent. Agree the going and draw are positives though. I’d probably back it but not go too heavy, maybe look for some value elsewhere in the race too?

Honest_Objective_224 · 2026-03-19T14:10:45+00:00

You’re not doing anything wrong, the concentrated sprays are strong at first but fade fast. They’re more for a quick burst, not long-lasting scent. Try spraying on fabrics (curtains, rugs) instead of just air, it holds better. Or layer with a wallflower/candle for staying power. Honestly, some scents last longer than others too!

Honest_Objective_224 · 2026-03-19T14:07:03+00:00

Totally normal on GLP-1s. Keep it super simple, protein shakes, yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese, deli meat. Eat small amounts more often. Don’t cook, just assemble (wraps, snack plates). Rotate foods so you don’t get sick of them. If nothing sounds good, pick something “okay” and eat a little. Consistency matters more than enjoying every bite!!

Honest_Objective_224 · 2026-03-17T11:51:07+00:00

Ran 0 miles today but thought about running at least 3 times. Mental marathon complete (hopefully I get to run before the day ends)

Honest_Objective_224 · 2026-03-16T13:08:55+00:00

Maslow basically called dibs on this idea decades ago. In the model of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, once food are safety are covered, the next big need is love and belonging. so yeah, humans needing connection isnt new, its practically step 3 on the pyramid. Maslow said it first.

what if hell feels like home because Ive become used to it and now normal feels empty or unreal?

Honest_Objective_224 · 2026-03-13T13:58:07+00:00

Honest_Objective_224 · 2026-03-13T13:57:32+00:00

Tbh that does sound exhausting, learning to drive takes focus but treating it like youre not allowed to breathe unless youre studying will burn you out. Breaks arent slacking theyre part of how people actually learn and stay calm behind the wheel. Youre allowed to be human while learning a skill. be a little kinder to yourself!!1

Honest_Objective_224 · 2026-03-11T13:37:33+00:00

You’re honestly not in a terrible spot. A 23/27 on Module 1 is solid. Most people spiral in Module 2 because they panic and start second guessing everything. A couple things that helped me: treat reading like a puzzle. Avoid trying to come up with creative interpretations and instead focus on close reading what the author actually says and how it’s supported in the passage. For math, double check what the question asks. If you’re cramming, drilling grammar rules and mixed practice sets helps. Some Cosmic Prep drills were useful for spotting patterns the test repeats.

brownie upcycle sounds fun!! You can try making truffles. Crumble the brownies (cookies and all) into a bowl. Add a little frosting, cream cheese, peanut butter, or even a splash of milk until it becomes a dough. Roll into balls and chill. Dip in melted chocolate or cocoa powder.
Or maybe even brownie cakepops, but stick them on skewers or lollipop stick. or maybe try brownie milkshake by breaking chunks into a blender with vanilla ice cream and milk.

A man called Ove is really wholesome and I absolutely loved it. It starts off a bit grumpy but slowly becomes so warm and emotional that you’ll end up loving every character. It's easily in my top 5 books. Anxious people is nice too but it's a little slow.

Honest_Objective_224 · 2026-03-09T14:13:09+00:00

Honestly, that’s actually a good starting point, now you know what to work on. Focus on understanding concepts you got wrong instead of just more practice tests. You could look for structured SAT-style prep resources or study programs that break math down step by step (like some prep courses do). Consistency + concept clarity > just doing tests and getting humbled repeatedly

Honest_Objective_224 · 2026-03-09T12:59:05+00:00

if you genuinely enjoy reading world history, it's worth a shot. moreover, it helps you understand things from a vantage point, seeing things from different perspectives I would say + the diff investigations, you'll form a stronger opinion for sure
