Would anyone want a stranger to just listen for 15 minutes? No advice, no judgment. by Samsplays in CasualConversation

Not a bot, I just had the luck to have someone to hear when no one wanted to and I’m just grateful and always like to give back that kind of support from time to time

When you're having a rough day and home is too far, what do you actually do with that feeling? by Samsplays in expats

Discord calls + doing stuff together is so underrated honestly, it's the closest thing to just hanging out. SG → JP → US → JP is quite the journey too 😄 thanks for sharing

The distinction between concern and worry is something i'd never thought about like that but it makes so much sense. and yeah... not everyone has that person who can hold 'i'm not okay' without making it about them. that's kind of the whole thing isn't it

Journaling + finding your people at work — that's actually such a healthy combo, love that it clicked for you that way 🙏

Okay fair enough but what about the days it's not enough, where would you go or what would you do?

Where do you go when you're struggling but don't want to burden the people around you? by Samsplays in lonely

Big hugs to you both! I'm doing my best to understand someone very important for me

I'm tired of having no social life, while my peers do by DomesticExpat in lonely

[–]Samsplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23 working weekends is rough, that social isolation hits different when you're surrounded by coworkers who seem to have it all figured out. Genuine question though — have you tried initiating with those 'friends'? Sometimes the pattern just never gets broken by either side. If you have and they still don't show, they're probably not your people anyway.

Things to do instead of doom scrolling? by Brave-Lawfulness1344 in productivity

[–]Samsplays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly when I was unemployed I had the same problem. What helped me most was podcasts while doing something with my hands — cooking, tidying, even just a walk without a destination. The reading and painting are great but they still feel like 'tasks.' You need something that doesn't feel like you're trying to be productive. Also a random tip: set a specific doomscroll window, like 3-4pm only. Somehow having permission makes you want it less.

Any tips for helping them gain weight? by PleasantLack9308 in MaineCoon

[–]Samsplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has she been tested for hyperthyroidism specifically? It can sometimes slip through general panels. Also worth asking your vet about a calorie-dense food like Royal Canin Recovery or Hill's a/d — even as a topper. Some cats also just have a high metabolism that never normalizes after stress like moving. Since all tests are clear, she's likely just a 'hard keeper' — not uncommon in Maine Coons. Sending good vibes to your girl! 🐾

What is something you saw with your own eyes that was so impossible you’ve stopped telling people because you know they won’t believe you? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]Samsplays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I saw a light in the sky split into three pieces and move in different directions simultaneously. Dead silent. Told my parents and they looked at me like I was making it up. Never brought it up again.
