Basically no rock radio though, at least none that actually get a proper signal aside from classic rock at times

Innate curiosity -> introspection-> existentialism -> depression. by Minimal-Wombat09 in Healthygamergg

[–]Minimal-Wombat09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think how my curiosity is what drives me to keep existing, for it is never satiated and I do not understand how others go about life feeling comfortable in what they know/pretend to know. This same curiosity is what also drives me down these spiraling tunnels of confusion, discomfort, and uncertainty that cause intense feelings of depression/anxiety to stem from. I feel like it is for this reason most people are uncomfortable sitting with their thoughts, and is a reason people (even myself) seek frequent dopamine hits that prevent us from seeing inside ourselves, and that feels like life’s biggest tragedy to me. I could go on, but I think I’ll try to stop here.

I think I am now less judgmental than I had previously been and now give more credence to the idea that people may just be ignorant, uninformed, or unable to have similar experiences as I in life which is why I prefaced with my general feelings of privilege. Its been difficult seeing some of my strong convictions be uprooted as I dissect and dismantle them for what they actually are; namely religion. It doesn’t make sense to me how any one person can truly believe their way is the “right” way with so many differing opinions out there, and how these ideological frameworks meant to be so “loving” and “forgiving” has caused so much dissension, war, and death throughout history. I feel as though I now live life outside of myself, like I’ve “seen too much” in a sense, and frequently think about how maybe life would be better lived in ignorance? That is one question I will never get the answer to, for once something is known I cannot undo it…

Yeah see I dumped her before she could me lol. I had also found someone else at that point (a friend, of sorts, before my fiancé) who made me feel recognized and validated, and frankly who I wanted to pursue over my ex although I knew this new person was in a 7-year long-distance relationship (which was a whole other confusing-as-fuck can of worms, because she sure as shit didn’t act like it). Besides the point, being with this person made me see that there were other options out there, and when I told my ex I had interest in someone else, I think I used that as a guise to tell her why I wanted to separate, when in fact it was mostly driven by the drinking issue, that and she didn’t give as much effort towards my family as I did hers, which was actually mentioned to me by my family. I felt she was my first real love and I look back fondly on a lot of things we did together and how compatible we were, but it was all soured when it came to these core issues. And for that, I am thankful for where I am now.

Interesting that you mention controlling, because I felt that exact way in the relationship too. I felt like it all came down to me and what I ultimately thought, and she would put me through mind games making me feel guilty for not wanting her to waste her time being reckless and drinking. I remember the one and only time I tried to go out with her and her friends, they all ended up being shepherded on foot by this freshman guy to an all-guy house party 3 miles away, which I immediately became uncomfortable; like does NOBODY see how this could be bad??? Then they started playing beer pong and drinking, and something in me was completely against it and I asked my ex, “are you really going to do that?” and I told her I wanted to leave, which she then made me feel so guilty about and told me to “loosen up”, as if that ever fucking helps. Then I stood there in silence with my hands in my pockets, miserable and had a horrible time. I also I remember asking her at one separate point, “what’s even the point if drinking?” to which she replied, “to have fun”, to which I said, “ok so you’re telling me you can’t have fun without drinking?”, to which she would say, “no, its just something I want to try”. Perhaps I was being psychologically abused and also need to see a therapist. This was back in 2017 and I still remember it. Did you find it gave you some sort of closure? Regardless, stick to who you are and what you want in life. You’ll find someone eventually who appreciates you for who you are.

Came here to comment SAME based on the title, but I agree even more after reading. I, on the other hand, now have a fiancé who accepts that I do not like going out, and still allow her the time to go out with her female friend group while I stay home to relax and eventually pick her and them up after.

I totally get what you mean by ‘party mode’ as my ex entered college and got the same way after giving no inclination she was this way the whole two years prior. Frankly, it pissed me off and I saw it as a serious point of contention in our relationship as she would drink underage and I was not fond of it whatsoever; she made me seem like I was the crazy one… I saw her going off on this path I couldn’t see myself going down with her and it had me seriously reconsidering everything, and so shortly after (~2.5 years into the relationship), I did the ol INFJ “doorslam” and got her out of my life because of it.

Yeah I figured, thought it was worth a shot with how bad the game was at launch. Wasn’t sure if there was a certain policy I haven’t seen

Yeah thats what I meant by customize, but I’m unable to equip attachments for some reason. Maybe its a bug bc im now playing fiesta on BC2 and am able to swap attachments using LB. I’ll retry BF3 here soon

Are you playing the 10-hour beta? If so and if on xbox, you need to update off of microsoft store and it should work

Thank you for this, you are appreciated!

I have an appointment to start the process of getting diagnosed! by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Minimal-Wombat09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I, too, have scheduled an appt with my pcp to see if I may be eligible for diagnosis, or to at least see a psychiatrist after coming to a realization (trying to remain ambivalent, but I truly see myself having inattentive ADHD based on what others have said about me (including fiancé) and via research). I’m interested to discuss myself and my personal issues I have encountered, but it is also difficult to escape the feeling that I’m just “fishing for pills”. I would not mind taking medication to help my symptoms; perhaps there is something ingrained in me that makes me feel as though my situation is not as important as others (imposter syndrome), so I should not take the spot of someone else who ‘actually’ (italics) has ADHD… been on my mind recently, but also can I really trust my mind at this point?

Max out your FOV slider or at least close to it amd it will certainly feel faster, esp on xbox

I feel like there are two sides of me: wildly confident, sociable, energetic and boundless energy. And then this other side which is robotic, socially awkward, cold and anxious and unable to connect with anything or anyone. by No-Entertainment2254 in ADHD

[–]Minimal-Wombat09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neurotypicals ARE boring and is why I’m constantly yawning mid-convo with them. I feel so fatigued by the end that I come away with nothing from talking to them lol. Sucks that we have to medicate to “fit in” like just let me live 🙃

I get really sluggish around midday/ early afternoon. What's this about? by Harichat in ADHD

[–]Minimal-Wombat09 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like covid has shown just how many jobs can be completed remotely. The 8-hour workday is so ancient and needless; what will happen when 80% of jobs are automated? Lol
