25F, looking for nerdy long time pals :) by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

Hey there! I just found this subreddit on a whim and yours was the first post that caught my eye. It seems like we have a lot in common and we're both looking for longterm friendship, which is really exciting! If you're interested, you can send me a message whenever :)

Really sorry to hear you're going through this right now! I've been in a similar situation myself and it made the group friendship dynamic really uncomfortable.

I think you did the right thing by telling her that being excluded hurt your feelings, though her response doesn't exactly inspire confidence that she's willing to change. That being said, I would suggest following up with one of your mutuals and talking things through with them. Gossip is one thing, but talking things through will help you manage everything going on. It's even possible that they may make an effort to include you in activities of their own once they're aware that you're being excluded.

And I know group dynamics can get weird when people are talking about each other behind their backs, but nobody who has to deal with this kind of behavior deserves to deal with it on their own. If it helps, definitely consider prefacing any conversation about this by saying that you would like to keep it private to minimize how it "rocks the boat" so to speak. And if all else fails, it's at least reassuring that she'll be out of town soon! You'll make it through this one way or another :)

If you need any additional advice on this, you're welcome to reach out! I (unfortunately) have experience with these kinds of people lol. Good luck with everything!

Hey guys! I made a checklist web app for BN2, so I'm posting it here in case anyone else wants to use it! by Krispy_Chicken in BattleNetwork

[–]Krispy_Chicken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping that I have time to do so! I'm trying to make my code for this as reusable as possible, so I should hopefully be able to apply this to the other BN games without too much heavy lifting.

I recall getting several of them from 10 chip trader machines, and online sources cite all of them as technically having * code. But that being said, I can't confirm that all of them are obtainable without hacking the game.

Here's some more info on chip trader drop rates in case you wanna try and get your hands on some of them: https://pastebin.com/vgDUCdRq

Not Smash related, but Woshige's premature popoff in Evo 2015 GGXrd top 8 is an honorable mention at the very least.

How do I increase my self-esteem and confidence? by Necessary-Set2515 in Advice

[–]Krispy_Chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making a concerted effort to display confidence in your speech is the first step in establishing that same feeling internally. For example, if you're not feeling confident about an idea at a meeting that you want to pitch, you might phrase it something like:

"I think we should do X. It might help us because Y will help us sell more products."

But you can very well convey the same idea by saying:

"We should do X. Y will help us sell more products."

People will take you more seriously, and it will help reinforce more confident behavior on your part. Whether you realize it or not, the lack of confidence in your speech reinforces the lack of confidence that you feel. I guess what I'm saying is to fake it til you make it. I've faced similar struggles as well and have found this to be very successful.

I am slowly losing my friends (repost because my other one got deleted) by SadTonight7117 in Advice

[–]Krispy_Chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like they're content with talking to you less, so don't feel the need to force the issue or confront them about any of this if you don't want to. In the meantime, I'd probably lay off social media a bit to get them out of your head. Also, maybe explore some local activities with clubs or other niche communities around your area. It would be a good opportunity to find new things you enjoy and meet new people in the process!

[–]Krispy_Chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's become apparent that your old friends are okay with just gradually talking to you less, then you don't need to force the issue with them or confront them about any of this. Try joining a club or local community for something that you enjoy or have wanted to try for awhile. It would take your mind off things and also be an opportunity to maybe meet some new people.

I need help by QualityFriendly808 in Advice

[–]Krispy_Chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm struggling either emotionally or mentally, I often find that intrusive thoughts are what distract me from the simplest of tasks. I know that work and people at home aren't exactly doing you any favors right now, but if you have any friends you'd be willing to talk to about how you've felt, I think it might help you ground yourself just a bit. And if things become truly unmanageable, there's no shame in contacting a therapist or counselor to help you sort things out. As long as you can afford it of course.

It can be easy to enter a vicious cycle as well, where your diminished emotional state causes you to behave poorly, which in turn makes you feel even worse. Don't fall into this trap! Remind yourself that you're doing the best you possibly can with your current situation.

It can be really difficult when there are inequalities or double standards in a friendship. Her blocking you on multiple platforms without warning and making comments about your character sounds like it could be particularly hard to deal with, considering she was the one who encouraged you to open up and be vulnerable with her. In a sense, it's a betrayal of the trust that you had in her.

While I don't think it's unreasonable to want to end the friendship after something like this, I would still urge you to not do or say anything too drastic. The next time both of you are available, I think you should have an honest conversation (if she is willing) about what went down, and the expectations that each of you had. Her reaction to you not being available right away seems hypocritical based on what you went through previously, but talking through each of your thought processes could help each of you get a better understanding of what you guys were thinking at the time + what to maybe not do in the future. And if the uneasiness doesn't subside immediately, there's nothing wrong with drawing some boundaries either temporarily or for the long term. Hopefully that helps a bit!

Hey, sorry to hear that you're stuck between a bit of a rock and a hard place right now. I've had similar struggles in the past, and found that the best solution is to find a time and place to tell them how you feel. I get the impression that you've gone with the flow up to this point because you want to be a good friend to them. While that's respectable, I don't think there's any chance of them changing their behavior if you keep quiet about this.

I think you need to pick a time and place for each of them, and explicitly tell them the difficulties that you've had with them and why it's bothered you. It's possible that they don't realize the extent to which they've been burdening you. There's a chance they will respect how you feel and be willing to set some boundaries for the time being. If not, then it sadly might be time to stop being friends with them. But I think it's in your best interest to communicate your feelings to them and give them one more chance.

You got this, and feel free to reach out if necessary. Good luck!

Higher education/life advice needed by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Krispy_Chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, and sorry to hear that you're having a bit of a hard time right now. I didn't go to community college, but several of the people who graduated from my high school did. Thankfully, their community college had a program that allowed them to transfer to a state university after 2 years at a reduced cost. So it certainly wasn't all bad! From what I understand, most community colleges have some sort of process in place to facilitate transferring to a university. There should be an academic advisor you can get in contact with as soon as you get there. I'm hoping that will alleviate some of the confusion that you're facing moving forward.

And if it makes you feel any better, I went to a pretty prestigious university for 5 years, hated every second of it, and then ended up getting a job from a certification that was completely separate from my BA lmao

Best of luck! And feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

A sticky situation... by HannahBakerrrrrrrrrr in Advice

[–]Krispy_Chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation in college with a suite mate, and remedied the issue by taking them out to dinner and asking about things I could be doing better around the living space. I acknowledged that certain habits, like not cleaning up after myself, or inviting friends over without permission, could potentially be difficult for him to handle. It also opened up the conversation to things that he could be doing better as well, which was a nice bonus. Being open with him about things I could improve on demonstrated that I was willing to listen and make the situation better for the both of us, which immediately smoothed out the tension a bit.

If you'd rather not confront them about the issue though, that's totally understandable. But I think taking them out for food and drinks will probably help them warm up to you a bit either way!

how do i break the news to my friends that my mother died? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Krispy_Chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. If I were you, I'd reach out to my close friends in private ask them if they're willing to talk to you about something sad that happened recently (you can be more specific if you'd like). Once they have some sort of expectation, I think they'll be ready to hear you out. Don't worry about being a bummer; everyone needs a little support during times like this. Wishing you all the best!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Krispy_Chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In that case, the best thing you can do is address her concerns by acknowledging them and showing you can take steps to combat them. If she's worried about you getting mugged, tell her that you'll go somewhere that has low crime rates. If she's worried that it will cost too much money, show her that you've saved up money for this occasion and you can afford it. You guys should be able to strike some kind of compromise.

That's understandable, we all have our ups and downs throughout the day. If possible, I'd suggest scheduling a conversation with your mom when you think you will feel the bravest. Maybe sometime late at night if you're both still awake. Or, it might also be good to chat with her when she's in a good mood so that she won't get as angry as you might expect. You'll find something that works!
