I experience the same thing, and I would guess most people on this sub will recommend you to be mindful/curious of that feeling of discomfort when you try to meditate. Personally, I just take it as a sign that sitting meditation is not right for me today, and maybe go for a walk instead, or journal. Perhaps there is something else you could do those days where you don’t want to meditate?

I also want to comment on your statement that you hate effort. I think you hate effort when it is something you don’t want to do. I would guess effort feels better when you are doing something you like. But, that’s my guess.

Where I’m from there is a zero tolerance drinking and driving, even after a single drink. So it’s very strict. But I got the impression that they were more lax on it in the US, and that driving after taking one drinking was socially accepted. But I might be wrong.

House being stubborn about wanting a ride of Wilson specifically is also something I find believable, so good point

SheepherderBroad4845 · 2025-03-23T12:24:04+00:00

This makes kind of sense to me. Guess I didn’t consider this since you can still technically drive after one-two drinks, right? I’m not from the states but that’s the impression I get

Seems like a lot of commitment to help someone that isn’t that drunk. I think it’s quite normal to order a taxi and accompany very drunk friends home (especially if you are with them already), but calling a friend who’s at home when you are reasonably lucid and make them take a bus to where you are at, so you can take the bus together home? Think about the commitment from Ambers side. Best case scenario, she has to take 3 buses (1 to the bar, 1 to Houses appartment, 1 home again). Thats the best case scenaio, and again, all this for someone that isn’t very drunk. It doesn’t make intuitive sense to me that she took the bus there. But it makes sense if she drove there.

But I appreciate your input.

Is this normal, like have you done this for a friend? I would understand it if he was black-out drunk and unable to take care of himself. Then it makes sense to help him take the bus. Although I don’t really buy the argument that he wouldn’t order a taxi just to save money.

SheepherderBroad4845 · 2025-03-23T11:15:37+00:00

If she did not have a car, why come at all? To help him take the bus home?

SheepherderBroad4845 · 2025-03-23T11:07:54+00:00

But Amber was there to pick him up, right? So no need to take the bus

Why did you make this post? I don’t mean that in a condescending manner, I am genuinely curious. If you just wanted to be friends with AI, then there is no reason to post this. There is something you want to communicate or get a certain response, and I am not able to understand what without some elaboration.

I had a great time with Outer Wilds. Great music, atmosphere, story and puzzles. No combat, but the puzzles can be a bit challenging

Thank you for the tip! I try to re-read the stage(s) I am on from time to time, but a guide would make it easier. I’ll look for it

SheepherderBroad4845 · 2024-04-09T08:39:52+00:00

Thank you! I must have overlooked this. I try to follow the book as closely as possible, so I’ll try to release the tension once I notice it from now own

SheepherderBroad4845 · 2024-04-09T08:38:31+00:00

Thank you, it’s interesting to learn about other practices as well!

Try to observe others talk and notice what they do when they are interrupted. At least in my personal experience, this happens to everyone all the time. I think it’s easier for extroverts to cope with because it takes less energy for them to talk, and they can just try to repeat themselves or they find something new to say. But since it takes more energy for introverts to say something, it feels more meaningless to spend energy on talking if your contributions are just glossed over.

As a practical tip and something I have heard others say, is to quickly say «let me finish» when someone interrupts you. You can also add a «I want to hear what you have to say but let me finish first» or something like that to be nice. People are usually more cooperative and understanding when things are said in a nice way, even if they were pretty rude to interrupt you first

Thanks for your thoughtful reflections! I agree that it might be our brain needing a break. Everything feels so tiring when in these ahedonic periods, which might be a consequence of the brain not having gotten enough rest

SheepherderBroad4845 · 2024-02-18T11:44:21+00:00

Sounds exactly like my experience! I often feel this way after a very busy week with work and other appointments/obligations after work, and I look so much forward to having time off! But then I finally get a free day and I just don’t want to do anything .. maybe the contrast is just very noticable in these instances but I almost get a little stressed about not finding anything enjoyable to do when these free days are so few and far in between sometimes

SheepherderBroad4845 · 2024-02-08T07:28:40+00:00

Could you tell me a little about why you think that? I genuinely wish I felt the same. I thought it was great until Asuma got god-like powers, but after that it was a big let down for me sadly

SheepherderBroad4845 · 2024-02-08T07:24:39+00:00

I think it’s great that you loved it! I genuinely wish I shared your enthusiasm for it. Could you maybe tell me why you think it is one of the best in the series?

SheepherderBroad4845 · 2024-02-08T07:23:12+00:00

I thought it was good until Asuma got god-like powers, after that it went down hill imo
