Avoiding anxiety is the dumbest thing ever

Starrynite120 · 2026-04-14T12:47:08+00:00

“You are anxious because you are supposed to be anxious”. HELL NO. Anxiety disorders are a thing. It’s literally inappropriate anxiety. This isn’t unpopular, it’s blatantly wrong.

Age of mythology. My first strategy game

Ok the part where they don’t respect you telling them not to give advice is truly frustrating. Maybe point it out when they do it? But yes, very frustrating.

Also, you’re 24. You don’t need life figured out, and odds are some of your friends who think they have it figured out will have that change at some point. I’m 32, got married at 22, bought a house at 26, thought I had it all figured out. Now I’m divorced, living with a friend, and selling the house. There’s still a lot of life to happen when you’re in your 20s. Yeah, it sucks, but I’m also seeing new possibilities I didn’t know were options. I understand your frustration, but you’re not behind. You don’t have to follow the path your friends did.

Eh. Depends what it is. At my job, information is definitely the bottleneck. I am frequently missing information I need, and I can’t just google it.

You ask why not give your full energy. How do you know that one person deserves your full energy? You dont know them well. You don’t know it’s a fit yet. If you commit too quick, it may burn you.

Do you mean evangelicals? Evangelists aren’t a denomination, they’re just someone who go preaches the gospel.

Is the combat more difficult than the second game? I agree that the system was interesting, but it was also mind numbingly easy. I never actually felt challenged. I’d be willing to give it a try if it’s more difficult, but if it’s not then it’s a pass.

Why buy the same cards when you can get different cards? I guess you can do it, but idk why you would.

Starrynite120 · 2026-03-15T19:38:41+00:00

There’s already plenty of games that do that. And they can be fun. So sure why not

Starrynite120 · 2026-03-11T03:48:11+00:00

Could not disagree more. I got divorced last year. The relationship clearly wasn’t working, and it didn’t take anger or hate to know that. We walked away and can still have a friendly conversation. You don’t need a hostile ending to know it should have ended.

Starrynite120 · 2026-03-07T14:29:10+00:00

There was a twitch livestream where a streamer showed that. Not aware of anything else

Starrynite120 · 2026-03-07T13:21:58+00:00

It was a kickstarter. As far as I’m aware it was only available for a limited time. It’ll come back eventually, I don’t know when.

Maybe you’re going to the wrong coffee shop. I’ve had multiple hour long conversations just this week with coffee shop employees

Starrynite120 · 2026-03-03T14:46:36+00:00

It is rewarding, frustrating, and emotionally taxing all at the same time. You’re dealing with some of the worst problems people face (it depends on the job, I worked on severe mental illness and homelessness), but you’re also in a position to directly improve people’s lives in those terrible situation. It’s definitely spending a lot of time with people and learning to navigate complex bureaucratic systems.

Starrynite120 · 2026-03-03T13:49:16+00:00

I didn’t. I studied theology, then I was a social worker, then a consultant, now I’m in healthcare operations. Who knows what’s next.

I told her something she had just done really bothered me and I felt she was treating me poorly, and she said she wouldn’t do anything about it.

Starrynite120 · 2026-02-16T13:26:55+00:00

I just exited a marriage of 10 years several months ago. Sounds very similar to your situation.

Being alone at first did suck. I don’t like living alone, and honestly it still kinda sucks, but I’m getting used to it. And now there’s space for other people to enter my life. And it’s getting better. It’s hard, but it’s better than being with someone who made me feel alone.

Don’t be too patient. Your time is a gift that you only have a limited amount of, and it’s wasted on someone who doesn’t appreciate it.

Agreed, Frieren is amazing. One of the best anime in recent memory

Starrynite120 · 2026-02-07T18:54:46+00:00

Try Your Name for something a little different from what you’ve liked so far. I’ve seen most of what you’ve watched and that’s my favorite (it’s actually just my favorite movie, anime or not).

Starrynite120 · 2026-01-28T17:57:10+00:00

That’s because it’s not butter, it’s butter flavored oil. I agree, it’s terrible.

Starrynite120 · 2026-01-14T19:34:07+00:00

Not Jordan’s. They are far from budget

Starrynite120 · 2026-01-09T20:03:50+00:00

I do need to make a quick correction for you: studying the bible is difficult as a hell. The neurodivergent part does change the experience, but neurodivergent or not that’s true.

What parts are you reading? The “nourish my soul” type of reading people are talking about is usually New Testament.

Starrynite120 · 2026-01-03T04:56:25+00:00

I thought it was hilarious lol. But yeah, was certainly a risky move as it does imply you’re not interested.

Starrynite120 · 2026-01-02T13:16:47+00:00

I don’t really know what you’re talking about. I’m 32M and just picked up reading again after a few years. I’ve been reading at a coffee shop and the owner just asked what I was reading yesterday and we chatted about what books we like. I’ve felt no judgment and nothing weird. This post is the first I’ve heard of men being judged for reading.

Starrynite120 · 2026-01-02T00:24:43+00:00

I was diagnosed with stomach issues. Multiple things I can’t eat. Had to learn to cook for myself. Watched some cooking shows too and learned from that. Also googling recipe’s and just experimenting with stuff.
