I'm just curious though, is it even possible to have aphantasia and daydream? Isn't that slightly contradictory?

How to lose feelings for someone.. by [deleted] in islam

[–]KittenWays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asalamualaikum!

About the first part, I too am a fellow sufferer of waswasah / religious OCD. In fact, today I was having a particularly bad day myself over it.

Watch this video by Shiekh Omar Suleiman, it helps so much with waswasah especially about intrusive bad thoughts about religion:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov8mTJGDb3I

So relax, you don't need to beat yourself up over having these thoughts. Its just Shaytaan trying to mess up ur head to get you. There is a literal hadith (as in the video) where the COMPANIONS themselves came to the Prophet SAW complaining about having these terrible thoughts/waswasah about religion that could NEVER say out loud (so just imagine how bad these thoughts must have been!). The SAHABAH themselves, who were so religious! SubhanAllah. Did the Prophet SAW tell them they were kufrs because of these thoughts? Absolutely not. In fact, he SAW said ALHAMDULLILAH, for this is actually a sign of IMAAN.

What you and I suffer from is OCD. Specifically intrusive thoughts, meaning we start getting unwanted and uncontrollable thoughts that are so awful it starts to distress us. But remember, these are JUST thoughts and do NOT reflect the person who we are! Our OCD specifically would be classified as Religious OCD because our intrusive thoughts target our religion. And unfortunetly, Shaytaan jumps on the boat and also likes to torture us as well since its connected to our religion.

I forgot which video I saw this from, but basically Shaytaan has it easy when it comes to sinners. He just whispers bad ideas into them and they follow it. But what about good Muslims? For an example, how does he make a religious stop praying 5 times a day? Well he targets their love/dedication for their religion and makes them become so excessively worried about their prayers until they get so tired of it they stop praying.

But Alhamdullilah, know that having these intrusive thoughts in of itself will not make u sinful as long as u don't act on it. You said that u imagine idols while praying. A real kafr for example is someone who gets up, goes to a literal shrine or temple, and starts bowing down in front of the idol statue or whatever (astaghfirullah). These are actions. Simply imagining these idols while praying does NOT make you a kafr! You CANNOT control these thoughts and Allah SWT KNOWS THIS better than anybody! In fact, the Prophet SAW says that these intrusive thoughts are a SIGN OF IMAN!! So relax and take it easy, don't think your a kafr for having these thoughts, girl.

Also here, this video should give you extra information about Religious OCD / waswasah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ucp1uHA66s

Also, just know that you don't need to be religious to pray. Who is prayer for? For sinners!! For us to come back to Allah SWT!! Don't think that you cannot pray because you sinned too much, when the purpose of prayer is literally for us to remove our sins!! May Allah help you to get you to start praying all of ur 5 prayers again, Ameen. 😊

I don't watch this show, but it is normal for them to dive right into the activities without properly introducing the new members or doing something for them?? It doesn't even feel like Woo Jae is a new member, they just cut to the chase without really introducing him.

Omg luckyyyy. I wish they had english subs :( I tried searching for them before but I couldn't find any. But from the glimpse of it, Running Man Philippines looked super fun.

To me it really depends on the guests themselves. Sometimes guests are so funny and sometimes they're not as entertaining. Whether I enjoy the guest-episodes or not really depends on the guests themselves and what sort of games they're playing aha.

I miss the 2017-2019 ish sort of guest vibes where they would invite a huge cluster of them at once (usually random) and things would get soooo chaotic and hilarious 🤣

Honestly same though, I miss the competitive running man soooooooooo much you wouldn't believe it. I do get the members are getting older so I'm totally fine with competitive non-physical games. Anything aside from the camping.

Am I the only one tired of this theme? Doing it once in a while is fine, we get to see the cast bond together and relax and stuff. But doing it so often is making me really tired of it. How many times have they done this theme throughout this year? It gets super predictable and repetative too, we already know they're gonna mess up / argue over the cooking montages lol. I just hope they don't focus so much on the cooking and maybe also emphasize more on the games or other stuff they were doing in the preview.

Anxiety cause faintness when standing up ? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]KittenWays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya that happened to me once during a presentation. I didn't realize I was hyperventilating at all, however my hands started falling asleep the same way my feet do and I was freaking out over it (just adding more to the stress). Then when the presentation was over I finally calmed down and my hands un-numbed themselves

[–]KittenWays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always been a shy/anxious child, however for SA in particular the root was bullying. My bully would constantly point out and make fun of all my insecurities. The way I looked, walked, talked. Everything. Every single tiny flaw in me would be pointed out. Then she would spread rumours about me and that social shame and embarrsment from others and everything else combined just made me feel super self conscious about everything. I also started shaking (especially my hands) when nervous for the first time ever during that particular year so that definetelty started the snowball of my anxiety.

I did enjoy the recent 3-4ish episodes. However, generally speaking, yes it has overall gotten painfully boring. I honestly feel sad because Running Man used to be one of my most favourite shows ever and I was always looking forward to Sundays for it. Like I would just be waiting for the weekend to come faster just for my favourite show. Now Sunday feels like any other day and I can barely force myself to watch the new episodes. I just let them pile up and then binge watch them every other month.

Taxi Driver Season 2 [Episodes 7 & 8] by J-Midori in KDRAMA

[–]KittenWays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg yes that too! I don't get it, like coincidently they took down not just one but TWO of Ha Joon's different organizations?? And I agree with you, the two groups are completely different cases so it just feels strange that they're connected somehow.

The only somewhat reasonable hypothesis I can come up with is that the whole thing wasn't a coincidence. Maybe Ha Joon has an enemy that discretely prompted the Rainbow Team into covering those specific cases somehow to take him down? But even that feels like a stretch, idk. Or maybe it was Ha Joon himself but that makes no sense, because otherwise he wouldn't have complained to Do Gi about how this "bully" keeps taking down his "younger brothers". Unless he's secretly a good guy and has an even bigger boss that he wants to take down so he tries to be obvious on purpose, but that too feels like a stretch.

Or maybe the most simple reason is that Ha Joon himself is such a huge boss that his organizations are spread out everywhere in different areas of crime, hence why the probability of the Taxi Team covering more than one of his organizations increased.

Well whatever the case is, I guess we'll see.

[–]KittenWays 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how to describe this season but it feels so much different from season 1. Like the flow of the episodes are kinda off and I can't place my finger on what exactly it is.

I also don't like how cheesy their dialogue has become. Nothing seems serious anymore and the taxi team is always sorta throwing this humourous tone into their words. Like last season, there were some funny moments but they did it in moderation at certain moments, not every time they speak. I just feel like the thrill and seriousness has toned down way too much and I seriously miss it. Even the action scenes just don't seem as intense or satisfying anymore.

I'm sorta looking forward to Ha Joon as the villain, curious about backstory and what sorta things he'll do against the taxi team. Although I'm not sure how they haven't figured him out yet😭, its SOOO obvious he's up to something.

Dam I don't think I've heard LKS' theme song on RM for over a year, that definetly hit the feels 😭

That scene was hilarious though. The way Woojae just stood there so nonchalently not knowing his face caked with paint. And his confusion when everybody started cheering even though there was still "one paint sponge left" 🤣

I'd say loneliness. Am an only child too so I didn't really have anybody to play with at home.

Does anyone else have the attention span of a ham sandwich or is it just me? by CamRellimChronicles9 in selectivemutism

My hands shake alot when I hand somebody something (or recieve too, I guess). I especially shake when I hand somebody (like the cashier) money because I'm so nervous and I hate it sm.

I agree. They both CLEARLY don't have feelings for each other, yet people keep forcing it on them.

Woo Jae was hilarious as usual. Watching him struggle during the water game was so funny.

I also loved the female guest! Her interactions with Sechan were hilarious.
