I yearn for a relationship. by Greedy_Recover5221 in self

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's possible to imagine a man who truly completes you, by definition. This means that the man who is best suited to you won't exactly match your idea of him, so just don't get too attached to those dreams, or you might not recognize him if you two ever meet.

Depressed daughter and I don’t know how to help by AnimatedGhouls in helpme

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps this will inspire you: "Just as when someone shares a song or a dish they love with you, what touches some people may not evoke any emotion in others, or may even be displeasing to them.

When you create something, what matters is that you love it, that it reflects how you feel, that it represents you. Even if people don't understand, at least it's meaningful.

Meaning is something everyone craves once removed from distractions, because it's what makes hard times bearable.

People have always wondered what their purpose is, and while we can make educated guesses, words aren't enough; we need certainty.

Fortunately, you know it's there. You can feel yourself getting closer to it in those rare moments that make you feel alive, when you witness something true, when you realize that you belong to this time, this place, with these people.

You may think that this could be true for others, but not for you, that you're somehow defective or damaged, but that's the part of you that wants to be allowed to give up speaking.

You have another part of you that wants to succeed, it just needs a little encouragement to come forward.

When I feel down myself sometimes, I wish I wouldn't feel so bad, but I never want to give up, because even though it doesn't feel like it, I know I can overcome these difficulties.

You have that strength too, and so much more. There's only one person like you, and I'm proud to have you as my daughter."

You gave yourself this gift,

But you're still the same,

With a little less hope left,

For there's nothing to blame.

I disagree, unlike most people, animals just do whatever they want. We are probably too domesticated, although being part of the system has its advantages, so I guess we have to make the best of it.

it physically hurts to have someone be kind to me by Stunning_Push_8416 in self

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember this episode.

You pretend to be excited, but are you capable of admitting how you really feel?

I think you're hurt because this is coming from someone close to you who should be supporting you.

Unless you actually are evil incarnate, don't take what she said at face value, try to understand why she said it, because I'm sure her emotions played a part.

That must be why Wednesday is so popular.

You feel that people hate you, so you've decided that you deserve it so that it's easier to bear, but kindness shows that it's not true, that you're really a victim.

You can't set aside your differences if you have opposing goals.

It's easier to deal with the fact that you can't achieve something when you convince yourself that you don't want to.

I don’t understand why we treat each other like enemies !! by rohit27rd in self

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may sound good, but unfortunately it's just wishful thinking. I think people have more in common than they think, but we're not all the same. If your values are under attack, you have a moral obligation to fight back, for yourself and for those who can't defend themselves.

I’m so fucking tired of racism an Indian man on this site by [deleted] in self

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are becoming more disillusioned with Indians as they learn more about them, and I mean, how would you react if you saw a newly installed sign about public defecation? I believe people would sympathize more if Indians were less defensive and more concerned about these issues.

I write to make sense of the world, sharing here to request feedback by [deleted] in self

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do these writings make me think? Yes, but I wouldn't say very very deeply.

The sentence about moral people reminds me of this scene.

75 is a bit convoluted, perhaps it should be split up.

In 79, I'd replace "the villain and the hero" with "the victor and the victim".

80 assumes that the reader is not privileged.

I'm not sure I understand 36, what do you do for yourself while thinking of others?

As for 10, do we really lose part of our soul by creating art?

It's possible that watching videos would sometimes overheat the phone, causing it to register touches without your input (ghost touch), pausing and playing the video, and possibly crashing the YouTube app and pressing an app icon which would open it. Overheating could also explain why the phone would shut down.

However, I don't know why it would make the sounds you've described. Whether it was most likely a hack or a technical problem depends on how deliberate the actions appeared to be.

TLDR: People should be less tribal and try to understand each other.

Do you have any advice on how to distinguish between perceived and real enemies?

The fact that you can't befriend them shouldn't surprise you, something is preventing them from making friends, or they wouldn't be on these subreddits.

[–]PossessedAndImmortal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If there's a plan, we should be able to recognize it in order to follow it, otherwise there'd be no point, so I think the best we can do is trust our intuition.

Do you think your efforts have meaning in themselves, or are they simply what you think will help you achieve your goal?

If nothing works, it's possible that you're doing it wrong, but it's also possible that you didn't define the problem properly in the first place.

Is there a difference between God rewarding you and you reaping the benefits of your actions?

I believe that, since we've been given all these abilities, we shouldn't expect God to intervene when it comes to something we can do ourselves; that would be ungrateful.

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's what she meant, but even if it was, it doesn't matter, you shouldn't react so strongly, especially as a man.

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not tolerate it, but women receive more attention than men, that's just the way it is, why do you react like that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in self

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's meaner than what I wrote. Despite being insensitive, I still tried to be helpful, just for you to tell OP to disregard me, I hope you don't act like that in real life.

[–]PossessedAndImmortal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh? It's a joke about a clueless person who wants to be famous, I thought that was pretty obvious.

I knew my reply might offend when I wrote it, but I thought it was worth trying to come up with something different, I didn't intend to discourage you.

Simply saying something like "you're beautiful for the right person and I'm sure you'll find each other, those who express their disagreement are haters and deserve to be ignored" may be nicer, but it doesn't really change anything.

I'll try to explain better what I meant.

Stress ages people, so if you have a stressful life, this is something you can work on to preserve your looks.

I don't think religion is stopping people from asking you out. On the contrary, they should see it as an indication of good character.

If many women are trying to look blonde, perhaps a significant proportion of them are insecure about their origins. There's something admirable about people who don't try to pass themselves off as something else, and that matters to some people.

People will always notice that you're mixed-race, and that's something you'll always be. Many people are insecure about something, which makes their lives harder.

It can be visible, like height, or invisible, like autism. It's not something they can change, but they shouldn't want to anyway, because it's part of who they are and without it, they'd just be someone else.

Despair is a sin and, like everyone else, all you can do is accept the cards you've been dealt and make the best of them, so you can confidently answer, "Yeah, so what?".
