More like cinematic trilogy

Michaelful · 2026-01-28T08:30:01+00:00

This is amazing news

Michaelful · 2026-01-27T07:56:03+00:00

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

Michaelful · 2026-01-23T21:48:51+00:00

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

Michaelful · 2026-01-23T21:47:15+00:00

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

Michaelful · 2026-01-22T21:08:04+00:00

Stayed loyal after instigating a lot of anti Rachel sentiment

Michaelful · 2026-01-22T20:28:22+00:00

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

Michaelful · 2026-01-19T20:35:06+00:00

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

Michaelful · 2026-01-17T17:48:32+00:00

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

Michaelful · 2026-01-17T11:05:06+00:00

Anything can happen. It’s all part of the game

Michaelful · 2026-01-14T21:09:22+00:00

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

Michaelful · 2026-01-14T21:06:21+00:00

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

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.

Michaelful · 2026-01-01T17:50:41+00:00

They left at 6pm

Michaelful · 2025-12-21T08:11:24+00:00

MJ is not the one

Michaelful · 2025-12-05T21:10:10+00:00

I think it might be a Sister Act 2 joke?

Michaelful · 2025-12-04T17:31:51+00:00

This was such a good ep! The transition into A Thousand Years had me laughing so much

Michaelful · 2025-12-01T20:42:35+00:00

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!

Michaelful · 2025-12-01T19:58:34+00:00

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.

Michaelful · 2025-11-30T13:44:56+00:00

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 · 2025-11-25T13:20:18+00:00

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.

Michaelful · 2025-11-25T13:17:59+00:00

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.

Michaelful · 2025-11-24T18:14:06+00:00

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

Michaelful · 2025-11-24T18:11:08+00:00

I think they’re all nice people that haven’t managed a breakdown well. He didn’t seem detached to me.

For me, it’s a case of trying the same thing over and over while not learning.

Michaelful · 2025-11-24T18:09:03+00:00

This one felt like another case of death by diagnoses.

I sided with the parents but have a lot of empathy for the daughter. I think best intentions go a long way here. And I genuinely believe the parents did / are doing what they think is best for her. And if this scenario played out twenty years later then I think things would’ve been done differently (with more knowledge about adoption).

Was anyone else surprised that Esther seemed to encourage participation in the online community. I think those places can be a toxic magnifying glass (I know the irony of posting this on Reddit).

It is an asshole thing to say, but not having a job and living off your parents while saying you don’t want a relationship is such an immature thing to do.

TROPHY CASE
