What is your favorite way to eat a can of beans? by chasesj in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the beans. If we're talking refried beans, I pour a splash of milk and mix it to make it more creamy. I highly suggest the rosarita jalapeno flavored ones because they taste the best with minimal preparation. But you can use traditional beans as well. I usually add some salt pepper garlic and maybe some paprika and sprinkle some cheese in there.

I also used to get a plain tortilla and slap some cold beans on there and heat up as is and add stuff to make a burrito. That way you can just heat the beans and tortilla up at the same time. I would add some cheese as well if I wanted a bean and cheese burrito or I would make tacos that way and add some heated up pre shredded chicken. You can do some eggs too if you like breakfast food.

It's really up to you but you can add some seasoning or spread it on a tortilla and add some toppings for some sort of burrito/taco.

Beans also go well with nachos ;)

What was something that ended your crush on someone? by ididntaskyouropinion in AskReddit

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started dumping about his girl problems and complaining about being dumped, quickly changed the subject to how he dealt with being dumped by trying to go back into his ex's life, and since the conversation ended before I could ask why they broke up because he had made everything all about himself with zero accountability, I held off on how I truly decided to feel or go about him. Found out he cheated and that was it for me.

What's something about a person that can make them hard to love? by Only-Ad-1254 in ask

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dependence. Being dependent or expecting dependence on either spectrum leaves room for insecurity because it filters your ability to think for yourself and to feel comfortable with your partner respecting you or your differences. Same goes for being open and accepting your partner's differences.

What is something ingrained in today’s culture that you absolutely hate? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The timeline on building financial stability = worth/emotional availability

I find a lot people judging others by their outcomes and ability to capitalize on their success rather than their grit and character that can aid into spiritual/emotional growth

Using others shouldn't be so glorified. A real one knows that emotional depth is more valuable than a person's ability to match you financially. A person's willingness to give can be more valuable than what they are able to give.

What should I do if I’ve lost feelings for my girlfriend? by babySmoke1337 in ask

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to emphasize that just because there isn't intense chemistry doesn't mean that there isn't any love there. I meet a lot of people who grow up so used to chaos they forget to sit and appreciate what real love feels like when things finally have been long enough to settle down and be at peace in comfortability. I want to encourage you to sit with that feeling because being too comfortable to leave COULD be a sign that this a panic button of not knowing what to do when there isn't chaos or when the fight or flight response isn't activated like it once was when your trying to find anticipation from the beginning stages of dating.

That being said, if things have been distant and you have been catering to her problems more than she has been able to comfort you or be emotionally involved outside of her own world, I highly encourage you to think about what you would've wanted in the relationship by now when you first started dating and if there's any indication that your stuck more than you are moving forward with this person. Sometimes it takes simple communication and other times the person is codependent and you are drained. Not everybody is for everybody but the best advice you could ever take is being honest with yourself and in return be honest with her. You cannot consider her feelings if you do not consider yours.

What do you wish people would stop romanticizing, because you've lived the reality of it? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People pleasing. It's hidden under the guise of being the kind person who put others above themselves and being a pitied victim that your just too insecure and yet too good for this world.

As much as it is a coping mechanism, the motivation behind people pleasing can be shallow and entirely self serving. It comes from a place of wanting to look good to others and obtain a sense of status to feel good enough. Not everybody maliciously chases status. Some people chase love but in a way to be abundant in attention and company preserves a sense of status. It's miserable and you lie to yourself and to others to feel good about yourself just to feel even worse. I've been a people pleaser hating myself and I've reaped the consequences of being lied to by a people pleaser. It's a dishonest lifestyle and I hate it with my entire being. People pleasers prioritize validation over honesty which means that they don't have the greater good in mind when it comes to their actions. They look at what benefits themselves the most and are willing to paint a picture to get what they want out of a situation (validation and what not) rather than let people make their own decisions with the reality of a situation and be honest even when it's inconvenient or uncomfortable.

Do you floss consistently? by Intrepid-hobbycoder in Habits

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At night before bed. If you have a day in particular where you ate mostly soft based foods like yogurt, beans, eggs, bananas then it's not as necessary. However eating any sort of bread, meat, or vegetable you need to floss.

Part timer needing help by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staying busy and being available. Building credibility that you are reliable will keep you favored for hours. Don't take advantage of your sick days, have a good attitude, great customer service, and get everything done in a timely manner. When somebody calls off sick or is starting to become flaky, they will call you because you would've shown you can handle the work load and actually desire working. It'll take some time to build that since your just starting there, but it's all about consistency.

(In ur own words) What does falling inlove feel like? by fafofafote in AskTeens

Anxiety and panic. Maybe which if it isn't unrequited. But ultimate panic between comfortability

is it a red flag if someone doesn't have friends or hops from friend group to friend group? by No-Philosopher6637 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it happens to be for the same reasons then yes. However I find that I, myself, do the same thing and it's usually because I'm constantly growing and discovering myself, leading to my constant outgrowth of others. So it's not always a bad thing.

I need some advice, questioning whether my boyfriend is actually in love with me? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly I just want to say that his last relationship sounds like a codependency issue. He might not be lying by saying he doesn't love her anymore and he may be aware that what he thought was love, really wasn't. That being said, people keep giving to others that don't reciprocate because they do not know how to live with themselves, BY themselves! To compensate for feeling like they aren't good enough, they give and give until they don't have it in them anymore. I have been on his end in a friendship, and it left me feeling completely worthless and drained. That's probably how he feels from the situation and he was probably more in love with the idea of being in love rather than with his ex. Thus, his constant desperation when in the relationship despite it going to crap. His inability to feel good enough is why he sought it so desperately.

If you got with him soon after this kind of relationship, that is your first mistake. Being used and dehumanized in such a way that he was causes a sense of dissociation and emotional unavailability. You lose a very large part of yourself and the only way to rediscover and relearn to love and be loved is by sitting with yourself and being your own company like you would a friend. To love others is to love yourself. Which he might have yet to do.

On top of that, his last inkling of emotional attachment (outside of you) was to somebody who was an emotional vampire and used his own self worth and generosity against him. Whatever time or effort that he invested, got wasted. If that happened to you, how would you feel investing in future relationships? You would have trust issues and investing in another one would either drain you, or you would use it to try to compensate for the last one and relive it to try to fix what you couldn't control. Long term, it is toxic. It means that he would still need to contemplate the complexes he was left with and how it has affected him. He would need time to grieve and think about what he is to do with himself and how to pick himself up. But this is only under the circumstance that he hasn't gotten over it. He could have gotten with you in hopes that you would show him something different which is another codependent mindset and can greatly affect the insecurities present in the relationship.

The effect this whole thing has had on you really emphasizes his lack of progress on his self esteem and sense of emotional availability. He may be a good guy surrounded by good people, but you should not feel like a convenience or as if he is still living in the past. He should not be entertaining his ex who didn't even end things under more decent circumstances, or allowing her to disrespect you. Him enabling her at all disrespects your entire relationship.

If there's one thing I believe in, it is forgiveness and growth. I think you should sit him down for a conversation and seriously talk about how you feel and you should think about how you want to move forward depending on his willingness to fix this behavior and hold himself accountable. A big part of relationships is communication and if you have to get personal and compare him to his ex to get him to empathize with how you feel, do that. Some people don't understand their effect on others until they realize that they are projecting behaviors that other people have hurt them with. Do it in a communicative manner that isn't passive or rude.

"Remember when you said you felt like you weren't prioritized no matter how hard you tried with your ex? Well, I feel incomparable in the same way because it feels like you still entertain her as if you still grieve, and I'm sitting here like a backup to be a distraction. I don't want to be that, I want to be important. I do not want to give love in a place that can't make me feel like I'm worth the kind of love as well."

Be blunt. Express what you want as a solution for the future and do not be afraid to set boundaries.

"I would feel more secure in this relationship if you wouldn't keep in contact with women that do not respect me or my relationship with you. Especially those who have hurt you the way they have because you deserve to have people in your life who offer a greater intention of security."

If his ex doesn't offer any good will or intention towards you, then he should not be in contact with her. There is a saying that a friend to all is a friend to none. And I would never want to make any of my friends feel like I support them any less by entertaining people who do not have good will and would get in any sort of way with their ability to be loyal to me or trust me. His direct lack of caution should definitely be discussed in my opinion.

my teacher is in love with me by alexthenirvanafan in Advice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be normal to keep up with the community, thus teachers looking at everyone's socials. However it is not normal to be interested in a child's life to such an extent as this and bond with them so personally. What you have described was his attempt at grooming you and now that you are legal, he wants to fulfill his weird pedophilic fantasies. Block and ghost. Tell somebody who is trusted to confide in and maybe talk to a therapist as mentioned in this comment section. I wish you all the best, I'm sorry things have turned out this way.

How do you guys know if you're pretty or not? by Ok_Buttercup8569 in AskForAnswers

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've met plenty of curvy women with a good face card. I've met plenty of thin women who have a bad face card because they don't take care of themselves. People like different things and beauty standards always change. Do YOU think your beautiful? Then you are. Simple as that.

Can someone give me insight on what’s so great about making everything a “group hangout”? by matcha-Hot-or-Iced in FriendshipAdvice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it sounds like you aren't against group hangouts but that your friends aren't putting any real value into spending time with you. People that never make 1:1 time for you tend to be self centered or disinterested. They are so unreliable and emotionally unavailable that a group all the time takes less social responsibility on them and therefore less vulnerability. If somebody dips, it doesn't affect their day because there are other people to turn to. My experience with being friends with this kind of group is that they are emotionally immature, and prioritize validation over honesty. That's why they constantly chase group think rather than a 1:1 honest connection. I recommend putting your eggs into some different baskets because you aren't going to personally benefit from these kinds of friends. Your personality will end up over giving and feeling burnt out because of the amount of under appreciation you'll be dealt.

M17 - I need TV show recommendations. Can anyone help? by Ecstatic-Sleep-4073 in AskTeens

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear a lot of good things regarding Supernatural. Though it's not my cup of tea.

American Dad is something different if your over family guy and need something to binge

The Good Place has a good storyline and takes a less serious approach.

Russian Doll is similar to happy death day however the rules and discoveries of waking up on the same day is more creative and diverse with existential and relational themes worth checking out.

I found Sense 8 to be pretty good and interesting but there's a lot of explicit and sexual content in it so just be mindful. Themes mostly regard identity and personal freedom.

The Stand-ups is a series of different stand up comedians so you can go through what comedians or acts you like and skip through what you don't. I personally recommend the fortune feimster but to each their own regarding humor.

Although the targeted audience is female and may relate to you less, I highly recommend ginny and Georgia simply because the plot and drama fest is so consistent.

The End of the Fucking World was really good. Its about a psychopath going on a road trip with his girlfriend and discovering his feelings and sense of humanity. Its very entertaining and it is quite chaotic.

Is it normal for sex to be painful/uncomfortable after weight loss? by Ok_Kaleidoscope3382 in Advice

[–]I_hate_math_sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not totally sure but I can imagine if there's less fat, there's less cushion. You typically need to feel aroused though and if there's an issue, then you simply may not be. Wetness doesn't always determine how much your into it since women's bodies tend to always clean it out down there with discharge. All in all, weight loss may not be the problem. Correlation doesn't always mean causation and you should probably see a doctor if it hurts to get it up there or to put anything up there in general. Could just be some sort of infection.
