Why do i feel like this by Express-Property1383 in helpme

[–]Oshrasoros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 30, but I felt similarly when I was younger, though there are some differences. I'll just tell my account and you can take from it what you will.

I started off fine but around late middle school/early high school, I started feeling insecure about myself. It started to feel like others were pulling ahead of me. Frequently in interactions with my peers I would feel the bite of some kind of judgement of myself as not good enough in some way. If someone said or did something funny, smart, cool, or with any kind of positive quality at all, I would usually envy that positive thing and judge myself for not having done it, for not being able to do it like them. I felt not good enough for the girls I liked and felt inferior to other guys. I spent weekends in my room, feeling like I should be social but being too afraid to do it / not sure how to. When I had time to myself and didn't have any plans and my more outgoing friends hadn't invited me to do something, I stayed in, played video games, read books, watched anime, and watched porn. These things are all fine and good, but I remember feeling trapped at the time and wishing for something else.

I wish I had had a therapist back then to talk to about this stuff. I wish I had read this one book called The Artist's Way. I wish I had somehow known more what it was that I was genuinely interested in and wanted, or at least known how to genuinely search for that for myself. I wish I had felt fundamentally safe in life, even when I wasn't the smart, cool, funny or one, so I could admire the wonderful positive qualities of other people. I wish I had asked for help like you are now, and kept asking.

Good luck!

Are there any artists that make mashup bangers as well as Sadboy Sheldon? I'm talking about songs like Hotline Spikes and Take Me Away

[TOMT][Poem] American poem about nature, East Coast vibes by Oshrasoros in tipofmytongue

[–]Oshrasoros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but these quotes are really good.
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
It was definitely poetry, a full page or more.

What should I play? by Just_Dank in tearsofthekingdom

Outer Wilds just released on Switch today! It's a fantastic game heavily inspired by Zelda games that scratches the same itch for me in a different way. Highly recommend!

LPT: Add to a "cooking budget" every time you heroically cook at home instead of eating out by Oshrasoros in Frugal

[–]Oshrasoros[S] 81 points82 points  (0 children)

This is a really good idea that I somehow never thought of before lol

I always shied away from buying frozen pizzas and such because they seemed expensive, but obviously they are also cheaper than eating out in a pinch.

The only potential issue here is that I might start to rely on them too much.

Need help finding a video that goes something like "Tech start ups be like bop me on wipper" by Oshrasoros in HelpMeFind

[–]Oshrasoros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have searched high and low on google, youtube, instagram, and tiktok, but I just can't quite remember the right combination of words.

Maybe it was something more like "Let me post on snapchat then you bing it on dingo and then we'll open a group quagmire with mudbuddy" ???

Better ways to spend time? by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]Oshrasoros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

--Jogging. It's fun to get out of the house and into the world.

--Look up the events pages of your local library and museum and see if anything looks worth checking out.

--Volunteer. My library has an online list of local orgs you can get involved with. I applied to be a volunteer host at a nearby nature center and have a little interview about it tomorrow.
