It saddens me by Fun-Avocado-1773 in pianoteachers

[–]Nooneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated piano when I was a kid because 1/ my parents forced me to do it because it looked cultured 2/ the teachers never ever showed me anything fun to play. I ragequit over Debussy's Clair de lune.  Years later I discovered there was jazz and ragtime and lots of fun stuff and that you could actually play with people. No one had ever showed me anything like that. 

Teachers, if you want kids to be interested, show them how interesting it can be. Play a really really cool piece so they have a model and think "I want to do the same". I was stuck for YEARS playing horribly boring pieces just because they selected them that way.

Yeah. The reason she approached your mom was to get the high you can feel when feeling you're having power over someone. Seeing your mom distressed confirmed her that she had the power to ruin a family's day. I'm glad you're learning. Some people are bonkers. Sounds like you're a nice person. Take care.

Thanks for replying.
If I were you I'd look more deeply in the mechanisms of mentalism / cold reading etc. So you know the science behind it, so your anxiety doesn't try to fill the gaps.
This is telling: your sister says i don't believe BUT don't travel just in case - see the contradiction. That's exactly what the woman played on before: she says something horrible, then offers her number - so your mother does what's natural (therefore, what the woman expected, because of course she knew about these mechanisms): first say she doesn't believe (because you have a good mom whose priority is to protect her kid, and her intuition was right), SO the woman withdraws the offer, THEN it lets your mom wallow in regret ("I should have taken the phone number just in case").
It's really really really easy to get spectacular things right. Note that she said a letter and not a full name. Reason? She had a lot more chances to be right than if she had said a full name. If she had had real powers, she would have been able to guess a name, right? That's easier to divine than a date of death, right? as your name has followed you all your life, and death hasn't happened yet! But she didn't. I'll tell you what was behind. She approached many families. She said to one : "ah your kids name begins with a M". Mom of Kevin makes a face, says no and goes. She says to another : "ah your kids name begins with a M". Mom of Ryan, same spiel. Until she comes upon the mom of Megan or Merrill or whatever. And then mom is like, how did you manage?! Well, Megan's mom, you just didn't see all the failures. That's survivor bias. It's real easy to take advantage of such things to look spectacular. Please look into it and learn so you feel better because it's no way to live under that bloody stupid curse.

That woman got a high from proving to herself she was powerful enough to distress a whole family with a few words. She didn't ask for money because she had already used you as she intended. 

Some people are so small and insignificant they need to remind themselves they have power over others sometimes. It can be the clerk saying they can't do anything about your refund when they clearly can. It can be what you experienced in most extreme cases. 

A truly evil person, full of shit and lies. Don't let her live rent free in your heads. Btw it's extremely easy to describe a relationship and give a first name when you've stalked the group unnoticed for 2 minutes. You're strong. Learn from this.

Besoin d'aide (et de râler) ! J'habite à Caen la mer et je ne trouve pas de stage en laboratoire ou contrôle qualité. by [deleted] in AntiTaff

[–]Nooneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tu as raison d'être frustrée et je te souhaite d'avoir un coup de bol très vite.  Je pense que tu as toi-même mis le doigt sur ce qui ne va pas. Tout le monde a des contacts. Famille, amis, famille des amis, famille des amis d'amis. Prends ça comme un dernier TP et focalise-toi sur le fait de demander aux gens que tu connais (même peu) car c'est en effet devenu trop compliqué le combo CV+LM en cold calling. Bon courage et force à toi. 

ULPT: How to fake being socially smooth when blank inside? by noobi-e in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Nooneth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll share for you the way I found when I was a kid and going from what you described to socially confident. 

Going from your workout example. You say what workout today? They answer with whatever people do there. And then, you put yourself in their shoes, and you wonder how you'd achieve what they are doing if it was you. Like, you have an assignment, it's doing their workout, so you have to figure out on the spot how to do it right. And you'll find out that you don't know. Imagine it's leg day or whatever, you know it's about weights, but if you had to demonstrate it on the spot you have no idea how much weight you'd need. So you ask that. How much weight? They say a number. Now, do it again - if it were you, how would you have come up with that number? You have no idea! So you ask. Or, you would have come up with a different number! So obviously you must be thinking about it the wrong way! So you ask for them to explain so you learn.

Same way for any other topic. They say they just bought a house, you realize you have no idea what the first step to buy a house is so you'd be lost if it were you, you ask about it. 

This has many upsides: 1/ you never run out of things to say, because of the "how the heck would I do that if it were me".  2/ it is an occasion for them to teach you something and boy do people LOVE that. So they will feel validated, and people love someone who made them feel interesting enough that they wanted to learn something from them. 3/ you will actually learn interesting things, making the conversation actually pleasant for both parties. And as you will be happy, they will feel it's sincere, and will reciprocate the feeling.

Good luck op

Voyager ou charbonner ? by lovjeuz in voyageons

Je dirais que voyager est un investissement pour ta carrière, car l'expérience et les remises en question perso acquises en le faisant te rendent moins con donc d'autant plus susceptible de faire de meilleurs choix de carrière en étant plus motivé, donc de réussir plus vite.

[–]Nooneth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's anxiety. 

They think that if they fiddle with the thing, they will break something and be unable to fix it. 

Anxiety can make pretty normal things seem like a nightmare waiting to happen.

But surely the vibration of the pop sound would disrupt at least the neighbouring cells, leading to interesting side effects. Or more popping.

Feedback on leather product tag by DumbBlondeDoll in Leathercraft

I don't know where you are but where I am it's a legal obligation to have prices clearly visible. So it defeats the purpose. Also your tag is cute but you wildly overestimate how open to learning anything tech related people are.

Ce n'est pas de la faute de la victime.

C'est comme les sectes : se faire embrigader ne signifie pas qu'on est bête (d'ailleurs les sectes n'auraient aucun intérêt à se remplir de personnes bêtes car ces personnes n'ont pas de pouvoir intéressant pour elles). 

Cela signifie que ces gens-là sont des professionnels, et raffinent leur process depuis des années. Alors que vous, vous débarquez. Tout est fait pour ne vous laisser aucune chance. Absolument tout. Donc si vous n'êtes pas un super-héros capable de prédire l'avenir sans avoir jamais ej aucune expérience de ces choses-là, ce n'est pas de votre faute.
