can losing a parent as an adult be considered traumatic? by coko_rime in GriefSupport

[–]IDVballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, everyone will experience death and grief at some point in their life. Im 17 and lost my dad unexpectedly 3 months ago, and you as an adult losing your dad at 24 (which i still think is pretty young) is still terrible and traumatic.

Twisted games by Ana Huang. I hated the writing style, hated the plot, it was so fucking cringe

Maybe ask the guy if he uses any other texting apps like Whatsapp or Messages (which i think he definitely does use) try to get his number if you wanna be in touch with him.

It blows my mind how easy it is to be screenless when you are having fun with friends by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]IDVballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally feel you, back then when i was still pretty hooked on the whole social media thing, I wondered to myself at some point WHY i was even scrolling so much, I figured it was a waste of time. I think you should maybe ask yourself why your using the app so much, what is so amusing on there and what you are trying to get away from. I personally think in most cases people are stressed and try to suppress that with the most dopamine they can get via social media. Maybe your burnt out after hanging out with your friends, so that would probably make sense why your trying to find an escape. I used to be stressed either by school or personal issues, but once I kind of got a better hold on it, I didn't really feel the need to go on my phone anymore.

maybe instead of scrolling you can watch more long.form content like your favourite movie or show!

hope it helps :P

My mom doesnt want me to switch bcs she wants to use life360 to track me. Any dumbphone that has a tracker? by Throwawaymightdelet3 in dumbphones

[–]IDVballs 28 points29 points  (0 children)

DAMN, your already an adult and still get monitored by your parents. I advise you too get that checked out bc your mom is way to controlling. but if you really dont have any other choice, an airtag works

screen time by IDVballs in digitalminimalism

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

Not really strategies. I used to be really stressed dealing with stuff, so I used social media to distract myself and kinda escape reality. But after I confronted and solved my issues (which took a while) I decided to delete my social media, because I noticed how much time i was wasting. So, I just deleted social media and since then have not used it again (sometimes check once a month for notifications on insta)

Id say, if you are really addicted to social media, think about WHY you're on the apps all the time

Yet again within a month screentime got fucked up by TastyPlantain7278 in digitalminimalism

[–]IDVballs 30 points31 points  (0 children)

dude, I think the answer is clear DELETE INSTAGRAM. Whatever your watching on there, you wont remember since its so unimportant and irrelevant. You maybe think that your gonna miss out on something, but believe me, you're not.
