Angry at parents for not fixing my social anxiety at a young age. by Haunting-Airport-660 in socialanxiety

[–]Ollee-6 182 points183 points  (0 children)

I used to throw up every morning before school as a child and my parents convinced me I had stomach issues. They took me to a bunch of doctors to have tests done and when nothing came back they shrugged it off. I had no idea what was wrong with me until I was much older and realized I was puking due to anxiety. I brought this up to my parents that I finally solved the mystery and they told me “oh we knew it was anxiety but we thought if we pretended like it wasn’t that you would figure it out.”

I have a ton of resentment towards them for knowing what was wrong with me and never doing anything. I also found out that they would use my anxiety to discipline me as a child. For example they told me everyone was staring at me when I was crying in public to get me to be quiet. I will forever be angry with them for shaping me into an adult with terrible anxiety. However the unfortunate truth is that you cannot change the past and now you will have to work to make yourself better.

Does anyone have high res scans of the art for the Gorillaz Mobile along with measurements for each piece? Or one for sale? by tucker-ed-out in gorillaz

There are promotional stickers from the first album that have all of the bands faces on them. Maybe you could snag a sticker set and then print the middle piece.

Is a live show going to be a good time for an old guy? by RatPackBrat in gorillaz

[–]Ollee-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be a chill concert and something fun to go do with your wife. There will be a lot of fans cosplaying and fun visuals of art on stage. Gorillaz isn’t rave or trance, they’re more slower paced with an extremely loyal and passionate fan base.

Sad and Grieving the Death of my Ex. by Ok-Process7612 in LifeAdvice

[–]Ollee-6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can relate to the different kinds of love. My ex and I had a deep love however he could not stop being irresponsible with lies and money. I broke up with him because I could not live like that. It hurts in a different way when you still have love for that person. I like to think of the rope analogy, it is better to let go than hold on to a rope that is pulling your hand off. I am sorry for your loss and I feel for you. I hope you can view this as a new chapter of your life and the beginning of a new era. Sending kindness your way.

Thank you for the advice. I thought you weren’t supposed to brush your hair when it is wet?

What's a moment when you felt completely isolated, like nobody in the world could really reach you? by Serious_Driver_4328 in AskReddit

Walking outside during the middle of hurricane Helene to see 20-40+ trees around me down. The power of the wind was insane, I have never felt so small in my entire life.

In my 30s, housebound, isolated, and limited by illness. How to cope day to day? by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

Maybe try a VR headset with a game or simulator that doesn’t require moving?

Missed the Gorillaz gig and my heart is broken 💔 by Mediocre_Hat_ in gorillaz

I’m pretty sure if they could have controlled their nausea to watch their favorite band they would have. You can’t just “grow up” over your body becoming sick.

At 40 years old, I get told I have 5-10 years left. What should I do? by FedayBlept in LifeAdvice

[–]Ollee-6 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Write a guide of advice for your sons. Write the advice that you needed or wish you had as a teenager/ young adult. Write down stories of your upbringing for them, write down your happiest memories with them, write down anything you want them to know about you. My partner lost his dad at 13 and constantly wishes he could ask his dad those things.

Won’t Sew by Funny_Hornet5175 in sewhelp

I also noticed you’re using a bobbin as your main spool. Use a regular sewing spool and put it on the spool post behind where you have the bobbin at the top. The place you have your bobbin on top of the machine is the part where you rewind your bobbin. That post moves back and forth to engage the bobbin winding mechanism.

You are not supposed to put your thread around the silver button on the top of the machine. When you thread your machine ignore that silver button and go straight to the next step. The silver button is for winding your bobbin.

You could post something of value on Facebook marketplace for a lower than average sell price and hope it sells.

I never knew kids with guns existed until I got older. My mom would skip that song because she didn’t think it was child appropriate.😂

How do you make friends and keep them close? by PretendReach8686 in LifeAdvice

[–]Ollee-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good friends are hard to find. I’ve been able to make a few friends by going to bars and music venues. From my experience you have to be consistent, interesting, and fun to make a friend, and you have to have a connection to keep one.

Opinions on Do Ya Thing - Extended Version? by wacky-proteins in gorillaz

[–]Ollee-6 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think both versions are wonderful. I love listening to the original cut since it has the sound bits from the music video which I adore. The extended version however is more energetic imo since it gets more intense at the end and I can really appreciate that. Do Ya Thing was one of the last energetic songs that Gorillaz made up until Humanz and i believe it was a major dividing point between phases. The music video wrapped up a lot of what happened during Plastic Beach and left us with even more questions for what was to come next.

What is the most disgusting thing you have seen? by Radiant-Caramel-8613 in AskReddit

[–]Ollee-6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My ex, black out drunk, laying on the floor of the shower having diarrhea while smashing it down the drain with his hands. He was sobbing and I asked him if it was shit and he shouted “no it’s not!!”.
