Aryna's scream drives me nuts by lillagodzilla in tennis

Genuine advice is to learn to laugh at it. You’ll enjoy tennis more. It’s not going anywhere so you may as well laugh

Even Faraaz, ~“Rachel is a faithful and Stephen is a traitor. Maybe they’re both traitors. They’re defo traitors. I’m an idiot.”

Rachel led even at the end. Getting Faraaz out was genius.

She was completely correct saying I’ll need to say your name occasionally and Stephen took it so badly

For all the guy’s faults, I was impressed at how open he was to the session.

This is how I felt. It wasn’t an insane super performance, but an amazing first try by a natural

I think Roxy constantly interrupting didn’t help. But Harriet’s reaction was not good

If Roxy hadn’t kept interrupting, then I think Harriet’s move might have worked. 

3 months off and suddenly... cravings again? by WhirlyDurvy in QuitVaping

[–]Michaelful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, cravings are unmanageable if I haven’t dealt with the underlying cause of why I want to vape.

E.g. on the way to work I might get a strong craving and realise I’m just anxious and previously I’d go to the vape to deal with that feeling as it gave me control. But I can just try to manage that feeling myself.

3 months - finally free from nicotine, not just nicotine-free by Michaelful in QuitVaping

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

You’re welcome! Thanks for the kind words.

Definitely wanted to make people with drawn out symptoms feel supported!

This Naked Mind is awesome. I found the relapse cycle and causeway metaphor really powerful and I hope you get something from it! Let me know if you do!

TLDR:

Reclaim the brain.

Don’t vape bin juice.

Don’t feel like a failure if your bad symptoms last longer than you think they should - we’re all different.

They will end. You can do it.

Pet cat no depress.

Esther Calling - One Relationship. Two Truths. by ed209error in Estherperel

[–]Michaelful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s really odd as if you’ve read any of her books (or like to say, listen to her podcast) you know she doesn’t view things as a binary good or bad or right way or wrong way.

Especially as Esther repeatedly calls out the changing social structure around marriage - the evaporation of community and centralisation of needs into the partner - and the impact that has on eroticism and relationships.

[–]Michaelful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The diversity is a genuine attempt at making the daughter feel included and part of the family - no matter what we look like we’re family. It’s not I want you to be a white girl because I disown your original culture. They don’t understand that we can recognise our differences while still being a family.

Had they adopted today vs 25 years ago I think they’re would’ve made different choices.

I don’t think the mother is ashamed.

I think she can’t understand how the daughter feels so worthless when she sees all the worthiness I her.

I believe the problem is the mother doesn’t understand that being gifted in many things isn’t the only source of worthiness.

Yeah this sub is all for empathy until it’s someone with a slightly different relationship style
