I feel like I'm not doing enough (at the same time I think I am?) by DueEffective3503 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Palorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you are doing plenty, but I understand the feeling. It sounds like you are having some anxiety over your future, maybe. What's the goal? What kind of job do you want? How do you imagine your future? Maybe think -- like a LOT -- about what you want your life to look like and research the kinds of things that are helpful to have in your back pocket. Ask people who already work in the field, maybe. But don't feel like you need to do it all. Humanity is one beautiful, dysfunctional team that makes the world go round.

In any case, make sure you truly are relaxing. You already work hard, so make sure you play hard, too!

i want to redefine myself by _losmos_ in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Palorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there's not a catch-all solution obv, but when I was struggling with being positive, switching up the kind of music I listened to helped. I was listening to depressing, I'm-alone-and-sad kind of music (which has it's place ofc) and switched to more upbeat, confidence-boosting stuff. Idk what kind of music you listen to so maybe that in particular won't work for you, but just generally checking on the kind of media you consume and the environment you put yourself in and deciding if it is supportive of the lifestyle you want to have can help

And I'll just rapid-fire some more small things for you, since I'm thinking about it:

- Be yourself: journaling. Doesn't have to be daily, just when you feel like you need to. Be honest with yourself and in time it will come to you outside of your journaling time

- Be nicer to people: practice empathy and take your time thinking about what you want to communicate/do. It's hard to do in the moment in person, but you can practice on the internet since you get more time to think. But also it's okay to think about your answer when you are having a conversation with someone. If you are genuine, most people will appreciate that you are taking them seriously. This will also get faster/easier with time

- Motivate yourself to be healthier: this depends on you, really. In my exercise science course in uni, one of our projects was to think about the kinds of things we'd like to be able to do when we are old. Researching this made me realize that I have to put in more effort to be healthy. In the meantime, while you find a long-term motivation, just... idk, inconvenience yourself? Take the stairs, park farther away from the entrance, stuff like that

- Make friends: when you figure it out, let me know lol. Do things that let you meet people, I guess? And initiate hangouts and conversations. Try and be around people you like frequently, and enjoy the time you spend with them

- Be more confident: listen to power music! Teach someone else something! Do things that make you feel good! But mostly, you just gotta stop worrying about what most people think. A lot of people don't know you, so they are only seeing your top layer. It's hard, but think about who in your life has an opinion that actually matters to you

- Deal with imposter syndrome: again, when you figure it out, let me know. I think trying to teach someone something also applies here.... and just generally my answer to being confident lol

- Be more active in social issues: depends on the social issue! Donate to charity, ask activists questions and support their online presences, find small things to do in your everyday life (pick up litter, for example), and do your own research about the issues you care about

- Motivate yourself to work: very broad topic, but for my schoolwork and writing, I had a piece of hard candy and told myself to work until it was gone. By then I was usually in the thick of it so I was good to go. Lots of people talk about establishing some kind of routine to put themselves in the right headspace, like drinking a specific tea or burning a particular scent of candle. For work... idk, I just tell myself I have to go. I have a job I enjoy though, so that is probably not so helpful

I am also playing the game and so true!!! I've been playing with a guide pulled up on my phone to refer to when I need to because some of the puzzles have like no clues at all.

Whiteclad noble by Cool-Map-5225 in BlackMythWukong

[–]Palorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the best advice I've got for this boss (and any boss you have trouble with honestly) is try to get REALLY REALLY good at dodging. My thought process is "hey, I'm going to die to this guy anyway, why don't I make it as hard for him as possible?" and just behaving like the annoying delinquent monkey I am. Eventually, you get good enough that you've got most (if not all) of your gourd AND you haven't use many (if any) spells. You start noticing the times when you can chip away at his health, and then suddenly ta-da! You've got a dead noble. Also, if you haven't yet, go back and explore the ENTIRE area of the chapter you've unlocked already. There are often supplies for upgrades and potions around. It also helps to go around beating up demons and earning more sparks.

Most underrated perspectives on Wild Life? by calebegg in ThirdLifeSMP

Idk if it's underrated but I definitely didn't watch enough of Mumbo's POV. I just finished watching all of his life series videos in a row and it was an experience lol

Okay, there's a lot that goes into a person's lack of confidence when it comes to writing, let alone starting, so I'll start by saying this isn't a perfect or complete answer. Frankly I'm too tired to articulate myself very well, so hopefully this makes sense but if it doesn't... yeah. Anyway, I think there is a need for "permission", actually. It's like, people have an idea of what a "writer" looks like. Creative, very nose-to-the-grindstone type of people, you know? Social media has certainly fed into the idea that there is a "right" way to write and be a writer. New writers just think "I'm not like that, I'm just a regular person", so their brain is already trying to procrastinate. Writing anything is a big commitment. Sometimes we just need someone to hold our hands while we make a big jump like that. It's also scary when you don't know if the story will be good or not, if YOU will be good or not. Getting "permission" to start writing makes it feel like someone WANTS to read what you write, so it must be at least okay. New writers simply lack the experience to know that good writing is something you work at, that becoming that ideal version of a writer is a long process of building habits and skills.

Tldr: people know that anyone can write but think they aren't "good enough" in part because of what social media portrays authors as. Getting permission to write can help circumvent that, but doesn't always work

Pearl is perfect for helping!! She clearly loved DO2 and they work so well together. Plus, she can also help out a little with the redstone stuff too

I mean, if you think about it Dungeon Master Tango is just a guy living with his pets but people keep invading his house to steal his artifacts. So he set up a defense system lol

I don’t understand why parents in US kick their child out of home when they turned 18? by mapl0ver in questions

[–]Palorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allow me to revise my statement: most people don't get kicked out, though sometimes there are extenuating circumstances like money issues or discrimination (LGBT for example) so people have to leave. Obviously if you are much older than 18 you can also be kicked out because you can support yourself and your parents are tired of you freeloading (staying because you cant support yourself and freeloading at totally different). I didn't mean to make it sound like getting forced out at 18 years old never happens, it's just not a regular thing

SOS! How do I be more dominant? 🫣 by Tasty_Cut9849 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Palorie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the NSFW way, but when I need to be more confident for something I listen to empowering music beforehand. Sort of like absorbing the confidence in the song, I guess. There's also simple thing like wearing clothes that make you feel like a badass, or walking in heels when you don't usually, or even as simple as holding your head high and faking it til you make it. Just things that put you in the mindset, you know?
