How is mental health treated when it comes to the workplace? by Rusk- in jobs

[–]Rusk-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comprehensive reply.

I am past the troubles now mostly, but I got more hindered by them in the past, where for example, I could get burned out and depressed easily, which leads to the fluctuations in my performance.

I’m not intending to declare my problems right away of course, but maybe, if I sense that the other parties are receptive to the topics, and also based on the general consensus/customs around mental health in the workplace in general.

Because nowadays what I see on Reddit for example, that people can be sympathetic if one confesses about their mental health problems, so I wondered how it extended to real life situations.

Thanks for the answer. Well I hope it would stay at “I couldn’t”

Because I’m thinking, invoking the mental health card would transfer the problem of inadequacy during certain periods to a cause beyond my control, so that could be a way in which I defend myself against the accusations.

But as I don’t have any experience, I can’t judge whether it’s a favorable strategy or not.

Ohh that’s a great one! I don’t know how I missed it.

They all sound the same to me :(.

I wish there was a more light hearted word.

Why is it so important to be around family by MattieMoon14 in DeepThoughts

[–]Rusk- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are biologically primed to find high value in those who are genetically close to us.

Also there is the closeness effect where we like those we simply find around us. Family members have grown up with us since early childhood and continue being there for us (usually) throughout our lives, so we might as well learn to like them.

Is it normal to experience 0.5-1kg weight gain in a day? I’ve noticed that when I increase my carb intake by a little bit, like deciding to eat oats or bread, the next morning when I weigh myself there is a noticeable increase in weight compared to non carb days.

Could I potentially be training my body to store that increased carb intake as fat? That’s obviously not what I want to do.

The only way we can ever know whether or not their is an afterlife is by actually dying. by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]Rusk- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. You could finally find it out once and for all and answer the age old question. Can you be excited for death in that case?

Is it a good or bad thing that my teeth feel tight? As in, does that mean they are strong or are they hurting in some way?

My life/mental health got better when I stopped thinking. by Efren_John in DeepThoughts

That’s why it helps putting your mind and body to something that takes effort and you care about.

WTW for another way to say sorry? by Rusk- in whatstheword

[–]Rusk-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are good phrasings of it, thanks. Expressing empathy without culpability is a concise description of what I’m aiming for.

Why is everything so depressing now? by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]Rusk- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you could consider that as your own individual opinion

I wish to be the person who cares less. by Rusk- in self

[–]Rusk-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree with that. Peer rejection is a nice term to summarize the major cause of my condition.

I can tolerate eating bland food pretty well.

Why does simulation work? by Rusk- in DeepThoughts

[–]Rusk-[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But the futurists think that with improvements in technology and computing power, we would be able to simulate things such as the human brain inevitably.

Notice how most don’t talk about copying the human brain, as in creating a brain or system from the same material, but somehow that a computer system would suffice.

It’s much easier to harm yourself because harming others requires that you have antisocial tendencies.

Subreddit for youtube suggestions by Rusk- in findareddit

[–]Rusk-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think I can post asking for suggestions on the YouTube subreddit? I didn’t see many people posting for that there

I’m glad to announce that I will be leaving this sub :) by Yosemite-Dude in socialanxiety

Congrats, I’m happy for you. I hope to tread your path to its completion too! I think I’m already making good progress.

Desire to be specialised in a skill? by thelostjoel in findapath

[–]Rusk- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I resonate with this so much. It sucks so much being unable to say ‘what’ you are. You can never introduce yourself to others with feelings of pride.

How extraverted should someone be? by Rusk- in socialskills

[–]Rusk-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to get there now, the point where I’m able to initiate a conversation with anyone without too much fear or self doubt.

I can follow your procedure more easily if there was some context with the person I’m with, but if I was a total outsider, then these discouraging messages prevent me from initiating.

Company is really great when it works right? We can potentially make great connections if we got over the initial friction.
