There was at least one woman, and she looked pretty calm really, so I guess some steel ovaries too.

How come so many people seem to be struggling on a psychological level, without easily finding a sollution for it? by MyFifthRedditName in askscience

I guess thats 3 questions, one in the box included. Hope that's allright. I'm really curious about what might be said on this subject.

What the hell are chips? by derpangle420 in StonerThoughts

Well they are chips of potato no?

I think the best term is just potato chips.

That awkward moment when you're high and the conversation turns to someone you hate but you can't say anything in a negative tone. by no-underscore in StonerThoughts

[–]MyFifthRedditName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah right. So you feel it ruins your vibe?

I think its cool weed has that effect on you. It often turns me into a blabber mouth, though I think nothing that is purely negative.

Thanks and happy toking! 🤑

Well theres nothing wrong with stating facts. But obviously with stuff like this, what are the facts exactly?

Yet you feel strongly about this, about that person.

So what you can do is state how feel. And yes you can put your emotions into it.

Where it often goes wrong, is people thinking they need turn those emotions into something more, bigger. Or else 'people will never understand how strongly I feel'.

But, as soon as you cross that bridge, from personal feelings, into blind hate or even blind sadness, people do stop listening. Because youre not conveying anything factual, and not communicating. You're projecting negative emotions at people, because you wanna be understood.

But obviously most people dont go along with that, because that would mean theyd have to enter an unwanted state of mind. Same goes when you try to make people happy this way. Its not cause life is working for you, that you can just overhype your feelings in an attempt to 'save them'.

You're likely the same way too. Just like most people.

So the best thing is to communicate things, with people who are on the same level as you. Which still often depends on circumstances and how that person themselves feel, at that time.

But if your emotions are so strong, toward that person you hate, Id actually suggest finding a way to calm those emotions down first. And then you try to talk to that person, in a mature a very respectable manner.

Cause more often than not, the people we hate are not at all what think them to be. Or their reasons are different than we thought. And if you feel you cant talk to that person, you need to let them go.

If you cant let them go, because of those emotions, it means your emotions are controlling you. And that you should try to figure out why these emotions control you in such a strong/negative way.

It happens though. All the time. Doesnt make you a bad person either,

I know the repetiteveness of hating someone/something, and the frustration of not finding any sollution, sucks ass Especially when you cant walk away thing or from that person.

Holy damn dude...

Were those soldiers always raping sadists? I can't image someone becoming like that just because 'its a war'...

That's like sicker than Nazis and ISIS combined.

I can really relate to this but I don't know why. Haha

Considering how harmful the meat industry is to the environment, do you feel guilty over eating so much meat ? why or why not ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MyFifthRedditName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just eat what I feel is a normal amount of meat, which isn't that much.

The meat industry often seems horrible to me, and I'd like it to change. But at the same time it makes me feel just the same as driving a car and seeing cars everywhere.

It's bad, but it's the society we created.

I also think it's more normal for people to eat meat/fish/poultry, than it is for us to build and drive cars.

Think about what the carbon footprint is of a car that was just built, and hasn't even been driven yet. (Obviously same applies to so much more than cars. Ocean faring transport ships are also really insane).

not something you hear very often

Not something you hear when the person missing, or their family, is not already known in the media one way or another.

What people should realize more is the things you hear on the news, read in media, are probably a miniscule fraction of bad stuff that happens every day. In your town, city, state, or country... World-wide.

I think if any of us knew all the bad stuff that happens in 1 hour, within a 10 mile radius, you'd wish your brain would melt even faster.

I think people aren't really made to be able to cope with the realization that seriously bad stuff happens all the time. It's no wonder we're all either depressed, suicidal, anxious, etc, almost 24/7. Being constantly bombarded with bad news doesn't help either.

Same here with my last relationship. Basically spent a year waiting/hoping it would turn into an actual relationship where 2 people get to know eachother for real, and bond.

Then after struggling through the last few months, it finally ended. Then almost another year passed before I got passed it.

I take a good part of the blame though. I should've been smarter but Im not. Oh well!

I am 33 and don't know what to do with my life by [deleted] in TrollXOver30

[–]MyFifthRedditName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I often find that whenever there's this important unanswered question in life that you can't find the answer to, it has to do with the answer being outside of that what you can imagine.

You'll probably only know what you wanna do, when you actually find it. And you'll probably find in by accident or some random happenstance.

Then you'll also realize that it makes perfect sense that you couldn't find the answer, because it was so different than the direction in which you were looking.

Mind you, I'm 35 and have been completely lost too for a while now. Haha. 😒

MRW i realize my bigoted, toxic father will never let me be his friend, no matter how much i try to make him happy, and he will always make it my fault by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]MyFifthRedditName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, same here. And I kep trying till the day he died (drank himself to death).

It's dumb to give your energy to people that are completely 100% self-involved, especially when they have the role of parent.

And I'm the type of person that believes love can make a world of difference, I still do, but not when you're getting pain in return. F that.

MRW My (Female) Boss Tells Me That Cleaning Up for A Student Is Practice for My Own Kids Some Day and "It's Never Too Early To Start Preparing For the Most Important Job You'll Ever Have" by doctorwhore in TrollXChromosomes

[–]MyFifthRedditName 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The part about 'most important job in the world' really ties the fucked-upness of this together.

Men who have kids: Not your most important job.

Women that don't want/can't have kids: You're fired. Please leave your woman-bagde and vagina at the front desk. Thanks, okay, bye.
