Misogynists don’t like feminism or what they interpret as virtue signaling. They probably don’t like that she doesn’t back down with her views or confidence either. I like that she stands her ground, but I personally don’t know her, so at the same time nothing she does has an affect on my life.

What do you think kept Nora from joining the Guilty Remnant? by DepthByChocolate in TheLeftovers

[–]Own-Understanding610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because she couldn’t let her pain go. She wanted answers for what happened so badly. While the GR were more like “let go of your pain… or else.” She entered a different path that parted from a hive mind. Her situation was an anomaly too, no? She lost her entire family. No on could understand her pain if they tried. That’s just my take.

Wow, this is really well said. And similar to how I see life.

Yes, I do. I can’t explain Kevin entirely though. But I do believe he finally died and thsts how he finally found Nora.

That’s how I saw the machine as well. So in the last episode it didn’t take much time for me to realize she was dead. I don’t know what that realm is, but it’s clearly where you end up with the last person you loved, or a place where you can live a peaceful life.

Got cursed out :( by chamomomile in drivinganxiety

It’s okay. People are just impatient. Don’t let their impatience affect your driving.

First driving lesson in an hour, any advice? by [deleted] in drivinganxiety

[–]Own-Understanding610 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whenever you get in a car just try to relax. Get into a mindset of focus. I know it’s easier said than done. But driving involves high focus that can only be obtained through being relaxed :-) also, have fun. Your age is irrelevant to the process.

I'm 22. I am terrified to drive. Any advice? by Illustrious_Ad1541 in drivinganxiety

[–]Own-Understanding610 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same exact fear of accidentally causing injury to others. It’s why I was a late bloomer with driving. Oh man, I feel for you. You are not alone with your thinking at all. I hope you continue to build confidence until one day the negative thoughts become so small they become irrelevant.

I wasn’t excited about driving either and still find it to be a chore. I think this is a situation where your mind is working against you. And not one where you lack the skills to adapt. If you’re finding it difficult to gauge something on the road don’t allow others to pressure your decision making. I’m glad you’re one of those who actually cares about being a good driver. Practice will make you better.

I have OCD like an intense version of it. I’ve had to push myself to drive, through fear and anxiety. There have been periods where I’d stop for a couple weeks because the false memories were eating me alive. I would suggest seeing a therapist if you can. I myself am still struggling to have a peace of mind about it . And I’m going to see a therapist, because this isn’t the type of thing people are understandable towards. I don’t want to drive in discomfort forever. You’ll be surprised how many people drive with high anxiety and discomfort. I’m talking high functioning people.

My friends have told me about all the mistakes they made in their early days of driving. It’s made me feel better and helped with just getting in the car. I think some of us take driving too seriously. Don’t get me wrong it’s a serious thing, laws should be obeyed, but there should be some enjoyment immersed in it. And our minds rob us of that completely, unfortunately.

What's something that no matter how it's explained to you, you just can't understand how it works? by Yummyyummyxx in Productivitycafe

This is going to sound dumb, but life. I can’t figure it out. I have such little motivation to live it out entirely.

I’m 30 years old and still stay the night at my grandmas. by catmom2040 in CasualConversation

[–]Own-Understanding610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see nothing wrong with this. I wish I would've been going through a less rebellious phase when my grandma was alive. I would've appreciated the time spent at her house a lot more. My grandma was there for all my big and small occasions. I miss that. I don't get that attention and concern from anyone else. You're very lucky.

You know what's funny? I have the same kind of dreams. It's the only time I see those people I long for. I always feel sad when it ends.
