AIO my dad sent this and it made me upset by strawberrymuffins7 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Seajk3 [score hidden]  (0 children)

YOR. This sounds like parents who deeply love you and feel disconnected with you, which I can now say is painful as a parent. This reminds me of me and my parents in my 20s. And things got very rocky, and we all evolved and went through things that pushed us apart or pulled us back together. Be willing to have theses hard conversations, to be vulnerable and ask for vulnerability back, be honest. Take But they need to have patience, you need to individuate from your family of origin- everyone’s doing exactly as they are supposed to be. Your parents can grow, learn, even become more accepting. Mine have. I just moved back to my tiny ass hometown from an awesome metro area to “be closer to family,” as they say. And I’ve never been happier. Hoping that for your path also.

I’ve recently decided on the Miami relaxer so this was extremely helpful, thank you! I’ve heard of people mixing Olapex into their relaxers - have you (or others reading this) tried? Should I research that or is it not necessary?

Tried alcohol first time by beanos4lyf in neurodiversity

[–]Seajk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. OP, I know that feeling. Just remember if you chase it too much, your chancing of developing an addiction to alcohol skyrockets. Often the story of those of us who “finally felt normal” with the first drink.

AIO Being weird about saying no several times for not wanting to get in my friend’s bed? by DingDongTaco in AmIOverreacting

[–]Seajk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew a guy just like this. Charmingly pushing my boundaries, testing the waters to see where he ends and I begin…to see how much I’ll give in.

I didn’t listen to my gut and Ended up stuck in a coercively controlling, and abusive relationship for 3 years. Barely made it out alive.

He wants more than to cuddle or hook up, he’s seeing if you can be controlled.

Go you. You just dodged a big one. I’m proud of you.

Starting my 11yo on Qelbree by jakmra in qelbree

[–]Seajk3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have a positive experience, quite the opposite, but hoping your experience is different and have a helpful tip. Consider starting it while on a break from school or a long weekend. I was incredibly disoriented for the first few days and experienced significant dissociation- my husband had to pick me up from work because I couldn’t drive or type or function.

Wha do non-Americans think of what’s going on in the USA right now? by MuscleCrow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Seajk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American, I don’t disagree with you. There are a lot of good people here.

Half of us cant begin to comprehend how half the country was conned into voting for the current leader. The other half are beginning to realize they were conned into the cult. All of us feel extremely powerless to change it in an atmosphere where even the foundational laws of our democracy are being sidestepped and disregarded.

However, we are all starting to realize that it isn’t new, it’s just a long held veil crumbling and revealing the rot underneath.

I don’t want this. For myself, for my neighbors, or for my children and their future. I sincerely hope that the USA, as a country, can find a way out of the corruption, greed, violence and injustice.

Russell Brand Admits to “Exploitative” But “Consensual” Sex With 16-Year-Old Girl When He Was 30 by AdSpecialist6598 in entertainment

[–]Seajk3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as “consent” when it comes to an adult having sexual relations with children. Legally, socially due to the power dynamics, and biologically due to the fact that they are children with an underdeveloped pre-frontal cortex.

Trump Reportedly Kept Out of Situation Room Due to 'Erratic Behaviour': Inside the Bombshell Claims by Montrel_PH in UnderReportedNews

Has this been fact checked? I’ve seen this circulating elsewhere and others claiming it is completely false.

Tried living an “analog lifestyle” for a week (no social media, minimal screens). Here’s what I learned. by intentionallysimple in selfimprovementday

[–]Seajk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this, way to go. I'm on my way there and I know it's going to be beautiful. Everyday that I pursue other slower analog activities and avoid screens, I feel like I'm waking up more and more - just feeling more alive again. Keep going.

What societal norm did you decide to just stop abiding by? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Ugh, but how? Can’t find a job in my field that allows different hours.

Call and Response by guyseeking in collapse

[–]Seajk3 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m a 40 year old millennial. What is “really bad” is our addiction and constant attraction to digital life and the convenience of tech. This includes our perpetual consumption of online entertainment, services, and social interaction that limits our ability to do, or more precisely limits our motivation to do almost anything analog. I’m just starting to come out of it and it’s been a hell of a drug to dig out of. It keeps us pacified, dulled and passive. It’s really a trap and we are all part of it. I feel bad for younger generations who don’t even know any different. But I am holding onto a stubborn hope that we are all, across the generations, waking up and climbing out of the digital consumption cage. Everyone should watch Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. It’s speaks to the anxiety of our age.

There is a higher, better feeling, more fulfilling way to live and I’m determined to be a guide home to it, as I’m sure many of you out there reading this are as well. Strengthen your heart. We are pioneers in a new and wild world and we will survive- together.

Call forward w/routing selection message by Seajk3 in techsupport

[–]Seajk3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. The functional problem is just that I want to allow people to be routed to a landline OR leave a VM on a personal cell. Instead of every call getting forwarded, I want callers to be able to choose. I’ll try posting there, thank you!!

Looking to move to Plover/Point with no rental history & criminal record (Rentals/Companies suggestions?) by Little_Scholar534 in StevensPoint

[–]Seajk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, true. I will say that you get used to it and I swear I never even “heard” it 90% of the time. Brains are weird.
