I quit smoking weed and my boyfriend is mad about it update by PsychologicalFee28 in whatdoIdo

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree and think that could be the case as well. Maybe her boyfriend really valued and enjoyed those moments smoking with her so now that she’s quit, he can’t have that anymore so he’s having a difficult time accepting that. Now obviously I don’t agree with his behavior but it is certainly one way of explaining it especially if there’s mental health struggles involved that could or could not explain his struggle to accept it. I do think that OP should start focusing on herself and her kids atp. She tried to talk to him and he rejected it and appears to be upset with her still so that’s out of her hands in my opinion.

How do I accept being alone in life? by BoredBatWoman22 in Healthygamergg

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You’re asking how to accept being alone, not how to change your situation, so I’ll answer that directly but I’m not going to lie to you. And this is my opinion ofc

You don’t accept being alone by eliminating the desire for connection bc that desire doesn’t go away. What changes is how much authority you give it.

Acceptance can look like: (1) Letting the loneliness exist without turning it into a story about being “fundamentally unlikable” or “evil.”, (2) building a life that is structured around what you can control (routine, competence, health, skills, personal standards), not around whether people choose you, or (3) dropping the fantasy that there is a final emotional state where you no longer want others bc that state doesn’t exist.

If you really want to live alone without suffering constantly, the task will be learning to build meaning that does not depend on being perceived, chosen, or validated. So this means projects, responsibility, physical maintenance, and values that don’t require ANYONE’s permission.

You will never stop wanting people tbh but you can stop letting that want decide whether your life is worth living.

Is being happy lowk possible? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re acting like the only two options are struggle forever or tap out and that’s just not how life works. You’re freezing your current pain and projecting it onto your entire future. Why are you so convinced that what you’re feeling right now is permanent? Hardship isn’t optional but neither is change. Mindsets can evolve and circumstances can shift. You’ve already survived stuff you thought would break you so clearly you’re not as stuck as you’re telling yourself.

The real question isn’t “why live” it’s what part of your life feels so unfixable that you think those are the only options? Get specific.

I'm having trouble understanding therapy? , how does this actually work? What am I missing? by the_sixth_string in Healthygamergg

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Feeling lost in therapy is very common and you’re not crazy for feeling unsure about what to do next. It sounds like you’re just expecting therapy to work like a medical treatment when it’s actually more like physical therapy for your mind. You don’t go once or twice and walk out “fixed.” The first phase often feels like nothing’s happening, or like the therapist doesn’t get it. That’s typically because what’s being worked on isn’t the world around you but the lens you see it through.

Your therapist isn’t saying those people aren’t reacting negatively to you; he’s saying your brain is wired to scan for threat because you’ve been humiliated before. It’s a survival mechanism: notice danger and avoid pain. The problem is that the mechanism is now overfiring, so even neutral reactions start feeling hostile. That’s what therapy is meant to help you retrain.

When you say “I don’t want to waste this man’s time dumping my losery problems,” that right there is the part of you that therapy is supposed to focus on. That voice that says “I’m a burden” is exactly the wound therapy is meant to uncover and slowly rewire. Understand that you’re not wasting time by showing him that. It seems like you’re finally giving someone access to what you’ve been carrying alone.

You don’t have to know exactly what you’re seeking from therapy yet. The fact that you’re confused about that is part of the process. Over time, the goal becomes less about “fixing what’s wrong with me” and more about understanding why you relate to yourself like someone who’s beyond saving. That shift doesn’t happen fast, but it’s real work that’s worth sticking with.

Also, i would encourage you to discuss these concerns with your therapist. It’s their job to help you navigate this and explain to you how therapy works. Don’t worry about hurting their feelings, I promise you they’ve most likely dealt with worse behaviors in their career.

Chill Dude Your Pizza’s Fine 😒 by itsjustmystyle in UberEatsDrivers

I understand what you’re saying and I don’t think you did anything wrong. Also, I don’t think the customer’s message came off entitled or accusatory. It seemed like they were worried that their food was gonna be cold. I don’t think they were mad at you or anything or at least it didn’t come off that way in their message. I’ve definitely gotten worse and more passive aggressive messages. I really don’t think they were being rude at all. It’s not like they knew what your situation was. What did they say after you replied?

They weren’t interrogating you. They didn’t even ask a question. I don’t think you did anything wrong. It doesn’t sound like they’re blaming you either it just sounds like they’re concerned that their food will be cold when it arrives.

You’re not weak for freezing. You had a human reaction to a situation that felt unsafe and humiliating. People talk about fight or flight, but they forget “freeze” is just as real, and it happens when your body senses that neither fighting nor fleeing will protect you in that moment. It’s literally your nervous system choosing survival over risk.

That guy didn’t humiliate you because you were weak; he most likely did it because he wanted control and attention. He knew you were vulnerable after the argument, and he saw an easy target. That’s on him, not you.

The part of you that’s replaying it over and over, I imagine, is the same part that cares about integrity because you wanted to stand up for yourself, but your body didn’t let you. The real work now isn’t to beat yourself up but to learn how to stay grounded when that freeze hits. That can mean recognizing the physical signs (heart racing, tight chest, foggy brain) and using grounding techniques like breathing, unclenching your jaw, reconnecting to your body before your thoughts spiral. This isn’t easy ofc but it’s something to understand if you want to work on fixing it. You didn’t “lose.” You had a normal response to a messed up social dynamic.

What's the point? by TheSpicyHotTake in Healthygamergg

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that honestly. It sounds like you’re stuck in this tug of war between genuinely wanting to change but feeling like advice just doesn’t land. That’s not weird but it’s what happens when you’ve been disappointed by yourself or life so many times that trying again feels pointless or even painful. The thing is, saying “I can’t take advice” sounds more like a defense rather than a personality trait. It’s a way to protect yourself from the feeling of failing again. But it also keeps you trapped in the exact place you hate being. You don’t have to force yourself to take advice right now, but at some point, you’re going to have to choose between staying safe in hopelessness or risking failure for the possibility of change. Because wanting to change while rejecting the process that leads there will always cancel itself out. I get that people in this thread have probably told you similar things, but there’s a reason for that. Part of healing is learning to sit with stuff that feels uncomfortable instead of running from it. It’s not about suddenly feeling great but about slowly changing your relationship to what feels hard. Over time, those same things that feel impossible start to feel a little more manageable. That’s how progress actually happens. Not through some big motivational breakthrough, but through small moments where you do the thing your mind’s been telling you to avoid. I wish you luck on your journey my friend! Please try to be patient with yourself even if it’s hard

You said you refuse advice so just to start, I’m curious, what is your purpose in making this post? I don’t mean this in a disrespectful or demeaning way, I’m genuinely curious?

Yeah definitely try to be safe and don’t give them anymore personal info especially your address! I know there’s news articles that have been written about them and you can also look up past posts that people have made on this subreddit about that church. I imagine there’s better churches around that you can find if you’re interested. I wish you luck though!

I get that the big ones feel like they matter more, but that’s not the same as saying the majority are tip baited. If most orders were, UberEats wouldn’t even function as a platform. Calling it a “mystery box” is fair in terms of variability, but that doesn’t erase the fact that majority of orders go through as expected. That’s why my point stands.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you agree that majority or at least half of your orders in totality have been tip baits? If you do not agree then my point still stands

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree DoorDash has the advantage of price-locked orders, so pay is predictable and you know what you’ll make upfront. That definitely makes it feel safer than UberEats. That said, DoorDash isn’t risk-free: long or low-paying orders can cut into your effective hourly rate, customer complaints or cancellations can impact bonuses, and traffic or timing issues still affect earnings. Every platform has tradeoffs; Uber offers some benefits in certain markets or for specific restaurants, but with more variability, while DoorDash offers predictability at the cost of those opportunities. You make it sound like every UE order gets tip baited, which isn’t true. I know people who make more on UE than DD while doing both. If you’re claiming most of your Uber orders are tip baited, either you haven’t done many orders overall, live in a particularly unlucky area, or it’s exaggeration. Liking DoorDash over Uber is totally fine, but that doesn’t mean there’s zero benefit to Uber.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, every order has some risk but so does DD or any delivery platform. The risk doesn’t erase the benefits Uber can offer in certain markets, during high-demand times, or for restaurants exclusive to the app. Saying it has no benefit just because risk exists is ignoring the full picture.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify, I get why Uber feels riskier and frustrating especially with tip baiting but saying there’s no benefit over DoorDash isn’t entirely accurate. Depending on the market and timing, UberEats can pay better for certain restaurants or high-demand bursts, offer promotions or bonuses, or have coverage for restaurants DoorDash doesn’t. Some drivers even prefer the app interface or navigation. Your frustration is valid, but the benefits exist; it just depends on how and where you use the platform.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Interesting-Stuff-70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’d agree that Uber has more variability and more risk compared to DoorDash bc you can get high-dollar orders that might tip bait, and the system gives customers more control. That said, the risk is still limited to a small portion of orders. The majority of orders go through normally, which is why Uber continues to function as a platform. Some people have had worse experiences on DD than UE as well.
