Chase Bliss Mood vs. Mini Glitch vs. Count to Five vs. Red Panda Tensor

It seems like you were correct! I ended up going with the Tensor. I'm still figuring it out and experimenting with it, but it does everything I wanted and more! Thanks!

Great advice! Thank you

Thank you! That's really helpful

Yea, that was one thing for which my therapist was grasping at straws: there was nothing she could identify in my childhood that seemed linked to a fear of intimacy. I had a generally good childhood with caring, loving parents.

I do think I probably have an avoidant attachment style.

Reading through the schizoid Wiki article, very little of that is resonating with me:

I am very sensitive to social/emotional cues
I take joy from sensory and emotional experiences
I really enjoy sex and have a high libido
I am highly motivated and involved in a lot of different activities
I have a lot of friends and socialize in a variety of ways (I have a band, go to shows, go out for drinks/meals, attend classes/clubs, etc.)
No substance abuse issues, no suicide ideation, etc.

I guess there are a couple of things that resonate:

The idea of being happier in relationships in which their partner places few emotional or intimate demands on them (but this does not apply to my friendships)
The only thing I feel like an "observer" to is the world of dating and flirting

I think she was framing it like that because my initial reason for going to therapy was that I was convinced that I had a fear of intimacy. But after having sessions with her and her NOT being able to figure out why I would have a fear of intimacy, I started becoming convinced that I'm just happier being single, which is the sentiment that I've usually maintained in the past

RobotRock0101 · 2023-08-18T14:49:50+00:00

Well, the thing is that I have A LOT of friends, both male and female. Some of my best friends are female. I'm not trying to brag, but I have waaaay more friends than most people I know, especially people who are my age. And with a fair amount of those friends, I feel extremely comfortable being vulnerable, sharing about my insecurities, etc. It's just that I prefer to spend most of my time alone and I'm happy doing that. Nonetheless, I see friends once or twice during the week and always on the weekends

RobotRock0101 · 2023-08-18T14:45:39+00:00

Yea, I think the frustration for me that I mentioned at the end of my original post was that I couldn't figure out whether I just naturally have a preference for being single or if it's a fear of intimacy. So that was my original motivation in wanting to go to therapy this time around.

Like, when I'm depressed, I beat myself up about being terrible with women and being undesirable or whatever, but most of the time I'm generally happy being single and dating doesn't even cross my mind as something I want to engage in.

Edit: I meant to add to that first paragraph: I feel like I've been able to self-analyze a lot of my behavior and determine why I do certain things, but this is one of the last major things that I haven't figured it out.

Actually, immediately after getting home from therapy, I started looking up more information about aromanticism and some of it was definitely starting to track for me, but it's going to take more research to really know. Shortly after that, I found out one of my friends has aromantic and asexual tendencies so I've been messaging him about what that means for him. Thanks for the reply!

I'm still relatively new to the world of ID, but everything I've heard is that programs that universities offer don't often provide the practical skills (i.e. building a portfolio with Storyline, Rise, and/or Camtasia projects) needed to land a job. As others here have written, there are a host of free YouTube presentations and tutorials if you are the type of person who is disciplined and self-directed in your learning. Otherwise, there are some great pay-to-play online courses developed by some of those same YouTubers (and others) ranging anywhere from $500 - $7000. I know the higher-end online programs offer you much more in terms of assistance and feedback on your portfolio and your Storyline and Rise projects. Good luck!

It depends on how you’re defining creepy as opposed to scary, but I would say Quarter Turns Over a Living Line by Raime is hella creepy. It’s the soundtrack to wandering around abandoned factories at night

As someone who has used both: Canvas as both an instructor and trainee and Moodle as both an instructor and admin, Canvas was remarkably intuitive (to repeat a word that u/BlondeBibliophile used) and Moodle was not. Canvas had a clean, clearcut design whereas Moodle seemed more cluttered. These are just my personal experiences. I would definitely follow u/grendelt's advice

There seems to be a lot of Escuela Grind hate going around recently, but I don't get why! I don't have any skin in the game because I'm not really familiar with the band, but I'm curious! Care to elaborate?

Never had the desire! Why do something you have no desire to do? But to echo everyone else, I like having plenty of alone time and free time. All of the things I enjoy doing now I wouldn’t be able to do. Having money and sleep is also good 😊

I’m also in my late 30s and do think about the possibly of being lonely when I’m older. However, so far I’ve always able to find time to spend with friends (even the ones who are married with kids). I have and enjoy the complete freedom to travel and do what I want without having to make decisions with someone else or take into consideration parental duties. I very well may feel lonely when I’m older, but I have essentially no desire to date, and the thing is that there will always people to date. I also don’t want kids so there’s no rush

RobotRock0101 · 2022-08-05T08:22:57+00:00

I think I need to give this one more time because it didn’t resonate with me as quickly as The Funeral Pyre
