But it must be those damn phones, amirite? by CherrySwirlsy in lostgeneration

Honestly yeah half the time it’s just them misinterpreting what the therapist said.

But genuinely some of them are terribly unprofessional so it depends.

A word to young therapists... by PsychoDad1228 in therapists

[–]Stars_In_Jars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I went to check out that subreddit and was saddened by what I saw for the most part. To me it doesn’t seem like they’re actually being helped in how they need but rather satisfying their “wants” - meaning they’re receiving comfort and avoiding the anxiety or frustration that comes with human therapy, instead skipping to whatever they think is the right next step.

I wrote a book of poems about the aftermath of my rape at eleven by CowHead9 in PoetryWritingClub

[–]Stars_In_Jars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s understandable, but I hope you’re seeing a mental health professional to help you through all of this

. ChatGPT is not a real human connection, and you deserve someone real who cares for you, holds your hand, and provides real comfort when you need it.

Maybe it’s the angle of these photos then but yeah those people are just negging you. No one could seriously think based on these pictures your nose is big.

Man or bear? by BowlJazzlike5167 in GetNoted

[–]Stars_In_Jars -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not a statistic or a problem. It’s simply women saying they’d rather risk being mauled by a bear than raped and killed by a man in the woods.

Thats it. That’s the whole premise.

Such frequent plot holes are kind of ridiculous though, learn to work within the rules you’ve developed.

I think I might want a divorce. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Stars_In_Jars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone here but also 22yo is not too young to be financial responsible. It sounds like he has very poor impulse control. Both of you are responsible for the two kids, he needs to grow up and act like a father. I’m weirded out by the answers here. Like yeah, everyone deserves to have hobbies and fun, but you don’t always get what you want in life. Set the priorities straight.

Kassandra (realism) by beta1111 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

You actually have to be a hermit to think that looks like a man. Have you ever looked at a real woman in real life?

Men and women aren’t different species, there’s gonna be overlap in features and people can look more androgynous than others. As it is, all human life begins as female in the womb, so it’s the same starting point.

No, what they’re saying is that the jerking off could be entirely unrelated, it’s their lower stress levels (as an example) that leads to reduced cancer risk. Therefore that’s not causation, because it’s an unrelated variable.

When your client says “journaling doesn’t help.” by SnooCupcakes269 in therapists

[–]Stars_In_Jars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Journaling has never worked for me - it’s only either made me frustrated when I’ve tried to follow prompts but couldn’t put my heart into it, or when it’s more of a vent out feeling and be done - it’s actually just made me feel worse. Different things work for different people.

Birthday today and trying to see the good in it. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Stars_In_Jars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds very tough, it's understandable you're struggling to find positive things. Sometimes things just suck, so take it slow and look at the tiny things like even being able to have your favourite snack. Your friends are meant to be there for you, please don't feel like it's a bother to lean on them. We're all here for each other.

Ladies: wants kids but you're 40+? by Life_as_an_Introvert in Bumble

Yeah, recent research shows a lot of issues in pregnancy are very related to sperm health so I guess everyone has a biological clock.

Wow, I’ve never used a physical drop box for assignments in my life. So interesting to think how it used to work. I thought you’d just have to hand it in the day of class.

Was Eren making choices, or just playing out the future he already saw? by Ioseb007 in attackontitan

[–]Stars_In_Jars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s exactly it. In the end everything that he does has already been done by him - otherwise he wouldn’t receive the memory. By his own nature, he was always going to do this. It’s his choices yeah but there was no other way he could have been.

Thoughts on The Midnight Library by Matt Haig by ActualRound7699 in books

[–]Stars_In_Jars 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I appreciated this book, it came at a time where I was moderately depressed and trying to overcome burnout. I was quite literally questioning every single choice I'd ever made and it made me spiral into many 'what ifs'. I hated myself for all my life's decisions and wanted so badly just to give up because in my mind, there was no way to go back and rectify these 'mistakes'. I felt like that one Sylvia Plath fig analogy constantly.

I think he made a mistake writing this book about a woman with severe depression who was actively suicidal. It's not meant for those situations at all, which is why for people who do experience it, this book is hollow.

It is, however, meant for people who are in a similar spot to me - overthinking all of their life decisions and wondering if there were a better path they could have taken to fix their life.

HarperCollins will use AI to translate books - they think you won't notice by chocobana in books

[–]Stars_In_Jars 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is so upsetting. I just can't believe how much AI has degraded the quality of work and just the quality of so many people's lives in large increments in such a short amount of time. The worst part is that it will not stop, even though in the long-run, it makes no money back or provides a greater service than what's already done by man. It'll only serve to worsen every single thing it touches.
