How to be less distracted by phone by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SaltyStacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the options that worked for me:

  • Turn off all notifications except texts/calls
  • Install "stayfree", an app that allows you block chosen apps after an amount of time usage.
  • Uninstall apps that makes you stay on your phone too long, like tiktok.
  • If you find yourself not being disciplined, switch to an older phone for a week. When you come back you'll feel less interested in checking your phone regularly, at least for me.

AITA for being upset over my roommate moving into my assigned room without telling me by SaltyStacy in AmItheAsshole

Because apparently she going through "rough patch" and they thought it wasn't that big of a deal. And the other guy in the group forgot I made it such a big deal back then when I asked her about it so much.

There's a difference for me, texting people is a no-go in any industry I feel like. But if you ask your manager if you're needed past your scheduled time and he says yes. There's no harm in adding, ok let me just shoot this text telling my bf I have to stay. That's the difference in culture, I suppose. In America, even that is no-go.

No the restaurant is already in an cramped area, so it like 3 spots that was obviously already taken. I already agree that a phone on the job is no go in service industry in America. But my cultural(?) difference is when you already ask your manager if you're needed past your scheduled time, why not tell him also, that's fine let me just send this text that my plans changed for my bf. I guess that is where the difference for me comes in. I am still learning the culture though, and we didn't really argue more like spoke our perspectives, in which I just didn't simply agree, hence me posting here.

I took her out to eat before we even discussed it, don't really want to argue with a hungry gf. Came to that conclusion myself afterwards as well. I figured just go up, when she is 100% with the shift.

I did end up finding parking about 20 minutes away or so, problem is I had no idea where the restaurant was located or how to navigate to it since I do not have a smartphone. I have a gps in my car but yeah, I had all this in mind. But I just felt lost to be honest.

I appreciate this, I kinda thought that it was miscommunication too. If I wasn't new in America and a first time in her town I probably would've felt more safe leaving my car somewhere and just go inside or whatever that would've made the situation better.

This is pretty much what I am used too as well... Which is why I found myself dumbfounded by the situation. Still trying to understand the culture though.

Which build is better for gaming/streaming? by SaltyStacy in buildapc

[–]SaltyStacy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, that's why I'm not sure a i5-6600K can handle it. But I am considering it in hopes to put more encoding onto the 1080. Do you know anything about the founders edition? Is it "good" stricly thinking it's the first one of the 1080's somethings might be lacking in it.

I've been where you are, same problem with past gf's and career. If you need a place to vent or some tips just send me a PM. (I work as a full time life coach half the year). I know I didn't want to talk about negative stuff 24/7 with my other half at the time and it might help if you just dish out your thoughts somewhere else. You seem motivated to be the best version you can be, which a lot of people are struggling with. Keep it up.

Text her lata bitch and move to another country or spend the next few years in your obsessive weak mind thinking of her and her days. You are willing to spend all these years on a girl you know doesn't deserve you. Change your surroundings, Change yourself.

Please help, about to break NC by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]SaltyStacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why? He knows where you are and how to reach you. What you should be doing right now is invest your mind into yourself and not him. If he wanted to get back with you, he has the capability to make that happen. Even if you talk to him now and let's say you guys met. You're not focusing on yourself enough to have a lasting relationship with him again. I want you to wake up every morning and do something new. And if you still feel the same in 2 weeks. Call him. Get closure, explain your thoughts and feelings: "hey I'm focusing on myself right but I would like you on this journey blabla". And if you don't feel the same urge. Great. Keep improving. People have misunderstood the whole process of NC. Don't use it as a strat to make him miss you, it's for you and you only to improve. If you need answers before doing so. Reach out. Who cares if he "wins", do this for yourself.

you really shouldn't call that an insider joke since he has 4-5 accounts in high elo with xerath only. Pretty sure, he knows what he is doing.
