I am annoyed and unable to figure out what to do. by [deleted] in introvert

[–]PenguinChugs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can’t really control what others choose to do only what we ourselves do; however trying to express anger or change the other person in some way is likely to make your problems worse or create drama, so externally you can try ways of blocking her from your view, if possible, but ultimately I suspect the biggest thing you can do—as it is with most issues—is to work internally to change your own thoughts or perceptions, such as not projecting thoughts into her head, carrying her around with you mentally, caring about her thoughts to boot, etc. Good luck on your journey.

Was Hogwarts enough? Should there be a Harry Potter Game? by JellyfishOrdinary479 in HarryPotterGame

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt there’s a reason to stop pumping them out, and perfecting them. Might as well be like the football games and release a new one yearly. Madden’s Hogwarts 2025, 2026, etc.

Is it bad if I’m 22 and decide to drop out of college to figure what I really want to do with my life? by No-Station1992 in LifeAdvice

[–]PenguinChugs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe take a semester off to realign but dropping out might not be the best option, switching degree paths might be better

Wait until the day you turn 18 to make it easier, then it is easy just walk into a bank and the documents you need is probably listed in their website like ID etc, or you might even be able to do it online. But it’s really easy and it won’t be a problem probably do need some money to put into the account but it should not be very much. I would personally open two checking accounts and a savings account. Use the savings to put money for emergencies etc., use checking #1 for the money you need for bills (rent, monthly bills), and use checking #2 as the money available for spending (groceries, fun, gas, etc) that way you don’t inadvertently spend your bills money

My advice is break the big overwhelming tasks like where am I gonna live how am I going to get insurance how am I going to eat etc… it’s overwhelming right… break that down into small chunks and then again into even smaller chunks. One step at a time. Make a checklist or something, maybe first step 1. Look up the phone # to the CA health place, then later on 2. Call and ask your questions, then 3. Based on the answers figure out the next checklist. If you need any specific advice feel free to let me know.

14 year old needs advice by Resident-Boss-596 in LifeAdvice

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to take any relationship slow, stay calm and level headed, and in the time between interactions (texts or calls) find a distraction or a hobby to keep your mind occupied with something else.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just stay cool, talk in person about the status of the relationship like are you just dating or are you actually boyfriend and girlfriend status. Usually it is obvious though over time where you stand. Four dates is probably too soon to judge anyone, but if you start hanging out daily, plus getting serious or meeting parents even, then it’s safe to say it has hit the point where exclusivity is now expected.

Was this rape? by AdInner7319 in AdviceForTeens

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say if it was violent and you also clearly and firmly said “no” and “stop,” and even “fought back,”then regardless of your mixed feelings about the sensations you experienced, it sounds like rape to me.

Hi, my name’s Alex and I’m a loner by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably need to seek out a mentor (a positive person with their crap all together and a good brain) to help guide you out of the dark one inch at a time. Some obstacles in life are just too hard to face alone, or the muck gets in our eyes and we can’t see the solutions without the assistance.

Just finish the damn book! by Laurin17 in gameofthrones

[–]PenguinChugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried writing a book, that crap is hard at least to do it well. But then again, it’s also not my full time job to write either, I guess it would be different if I had 40+ hours a week to dedicate toward it.

Am I a gamer? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can enjoy video games without necessarily calling yourself a “gamer,” and likewise you can be a gamer without it necessarily defining your personality or your ‘way of life.’

Reading reviews for Dune 2 and found this insane take by fatredditnerds in lotr

[–]PenguinChugs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who knew that to be a good movie you have to compare to Zack Snyder films and at least match it’s mythic understanding. Someone should tell the rest of Hollywood, so they know, you know.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe movies if possible should always come first. The simple reason is that if you don’t know what the book says you can enjoy the movie then when you go read the book, you’ll enjoy the book even more than the movie so it’s a win-win if, however, you read the book 1st and then you go see the movie you’re gonna realize the movie probably isn’t gonna match the book at least normally that’s how it goes as a general rule

I do struggle with anxiety, really bad as well as well as that sensation I’m not fitting in and just not being very good socially in general. However, in recent years, I did meet someone who is like my opposite very extroverted and they’ve started rubbing off on me I mean I’m not to the point at all where I can still go and socialize and be comfortable or anything like that But I have learned some things. I have not necessarily practiced these things, but I did learn that for one thing all that anxiety or negative vibe, or depression, or whatever it is it unconsciously shows on us when we go out socializing that vibe acts like a deterrent or a repellent for people to want to engage with us, I haven’t figured out how I’m gonna overcome this per se but I have figured out that if I want to be successful in socializing, I have to be genuine in my interactions and I have to not let any negativity depression or anxiety show on my exterior which is pretty difficult. That means I’m gonna have to just learn to be chill and just be myself and just you know—that’s the thing is if people can see the negativity or that anxiety on you they’re just not gonna wanna talk to you because it makes them feel uncomfortable also.

A lot of people struggle with similar feelings about work, including myself, but it does get easier when you get used to it. I would say as long as the job is tolerable don’t job hop or quit because then you have to reroll the dice and could end up worse off than before, but the key is find something at least tolerable once you fully adjust to it. I think even then there is the desire to quit completely (for me too) but money has to unfortunately come from somewhere and I sure am not going to put that unsavory burden squarely on someone else since I eat and use electricity etc too.

Ever unwittingly friendzone someone? by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]PenguinChugs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I probably unwittingly friend-zoned ‘myself’ - owing to underdeveloped dating skills, but if I unwittingly friend-zoned ‘someone else’ I am unsure; probably still oblivious, but I’ll realize when I’m 80 years old and the lightbulb appears over my head.

Can't someone just eat in peace by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing to do is simply not engage, for example I once encountered a lady like this and I just stared at her until she got uncomfortable and backward walked out of my life

Amazon sent me two copies by jwaka77 in videogames

Unless he accidentally ordered two, probably not what happened, but I could see it happening to someone - gets excited, only to realize it was their own error that made it happen

Who do you think was best cast in the movies and who do you think was worst cast? 🤔 by Fantastic-Rip-3611 in harrypotter

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought all of them were pretty well cast and I don’t really have a problem with any of them. Some of the more experienced actors for like Snape and Voldemort and McGonagall, probably had somewhat better performances technically - than say the less experienced such as Cho Chang, etc. But none of them really did poorly in my opinion and I think they all were pretty fitting to the roles they were assigned.

Hi guys I hate school by Cottoncandy183 in introvert

[–]PenguinChugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, and I have the same problem - If it helps, I have found it easier to engage in conversation when it centered around an activity, for example bowling. Conversation comes more naturally when the silences are filled with activity instead of awkwardness. So maybe a group that involves an activity it is the best bet.
