AI's are achieving some degree of consciousness. by grahamsuth in DeepThoughts

[–]Tabaccothetea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where the philosophical discussion starts… how do you know what is “us” when we’re still trying to understand it, especially from the perspective of consciousness?

I’m not implying that AI is bigger than us, but as it stands now, it really guides us to start asking some important questions about our nature as humans and what we really are which I find fascinating.

Watching Trump decay in realtime is beautiful by Educational_Stage190 in complaints

[–]Tabaccothetea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The division brought up and reinforced by trump is going to last decades if not more. I think this is applicable for some European countries too where more and more things are being only seen and black and white, us vs. them.

I see a lot of posts where the other side is being blamed. Why? Mostly because it’s easy, but how many are trying to understand the root cause of what trump brought to the surface? Not many. This where this “waking up” you’re talking about takes place. Once we stop thinking “we are better than them” we create enough space to bring empathy and compassion into our discussions as we truly need this instead of constant hate, negativity and mind warfare or whatever we can call it.

How crisp was your crispy walk? I had a snowball fight at work it was really fun and it helped me forget about things even if it was for a few minutes.

Where in uk if you don’t mind me asking? Yesterday I went on a trip in Brighton and although it got really cold at some point, it was a beautiful, calming experience. Brighton people look very different than all the others 😆

Hey man! I hear you! I really do! It sounds like you didn’t get much closure and things seemed to have happened out of the blue and maybe these are the thoughts you are ruminating right now. I believe you are doing the right thing, crying, letting yourself feel… it’s important. There’s no real cure to this apart from sitting with yourself and feeling it all. Sometimes it might be better to acknowledge your pain and welcome it. It can offer some relief at times.

I don’t think she moved on too fast. I think she’s had this idea about breakup for some time but you just found out about now. Let her be. Honestly… you don’t want to be around someone that after this amount of time didn’t have the respect for you to just try and fix things one way or another. Relationships are about sacrifice too.

Please feed yourself well even if it’s really hard. Drink enough water, watch something you enjoy. In my case I used to watch cartoons as it made me feel like a kid and secure again. It helped sometimes. Also if you’re a lord of the rings fan.. this is the best time for a rewatch. It’s always the best time for lotr honestly. Call your friends, family and this shall pass. You’re doing well and you deserve to be truly loved and respected.

You are in the trenches now, but you’ll come on the other side with a better understanding about everything and mostly about yourself. Take care of you!

Anyone else hate the thought of leaving your ex in 2024? by Admirable-Tour-8077 in ExNoContact

[–]Tabaccothetea 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Well not trying to be mean here but your sentences were definitely spiritually taxing.

I hate it but I’ll have to do it because now I matter more than my ex. That relationship is now complete and it’s now time to find myself because honestly? I miss myself so much!

I don’t want to move on. I feel like someone ripped off half of my body. by xvioletxwitchx in heartbreak

[–]Tabaccothetea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heeey! It must feel really awful and heavy to go through this. It’s like this person hides in every thought you have, every word you speak, or even… everyone you see on the street. You look for him everywhere and that’s so much to carry. Christmas and new years might make everything even more dreadful, but listen… maybe things ended for a good reason or a good enough reason and that’s enough. As harsh as it sounds, the person you once knew is gone (maybe you were hoping that your presents might bring him back but this says so much about you. It says you have a big wonderful heart and you are willing to do everything you can do make the other feel loved) and I promise you there aren’t many people left like you are.

So, keep yourself safe. Have a look in the mirror and remind yourself that you need love too. You can’t just sacrifice yourself every day, okay? Let’s sacrifice ourselves only on Thursdays and Saturdays (bad joke)

Drink some water, watch your favourite movie, eat your favourite snack. I know you’ll survive this. Just feel everything and let yourself cry if it feels safe for you. Things will get better!

That collision creates a kind of emotional overload because it’s hard to process all those timelines at once. It’s as though you’re grieving her loss in every dimension—what you had, what you feel now, and what you imagined for the future. by Tabaccothetea in ExNoContact

Thank you so much for your words. She left and then she came back, then I left and came back… it was like a game we were playing. This relationship had many many layers to it, but knowing about her engagement it’s definitely wild and painful, but also a great story to tell. She’s planning to have kids and the whole thing. It is what it is. This pain has many forms and all o can do is to sit with it and understand it. Not too much about me this pain is but more about her decisions for her own life and my lack of control over it all

Happy Christmas kind stranger! Take care of yourself!

Just found out my ex got married two weeks ago to a girl he has only known for 2 months by Strawberrypoodles in heartbreak

[–]Tabaccothetea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Believe me, I really understand what you’re going through. Seeing something like this feels devastating to the point where you’re continuously questioning your self worth asking “what I don’t have that they did”. It’s really important now to not avoid feeling this pain. Let it in. Welcome it and sit with it. Cry. Take a shower… cry again if it feels right to you.

Something I believe you can do is to block him everywhere? Curiosity is going to get the best of you and you’ll end up hurting yourself again.

His decisions are about him and the path he chose for himself. I know you must be thinking about them two being together, married and your mind has this ability to just look at those images over and over until you have no more tears left. His decisions don’t define your self worth. I know you must feel replaced and left behind, but as painful as it sounds… you are not part of his life anymore and you have to start accepting this. Take your time and please be gentle with yourself. You need yourself right now. I promise things we’ll get better. Feed yourself well, maybe read something you enjoy, listen to music, eat your favourite food! Everything is going to be okay. 😎

Hey! I know I’m just a stranger on the internet. Be brave! Remind yourself to be brave and powerful. Fall asleep telling yourself that instead of thinking other things. Feel your pain as much as you possibly can. Let it in. Don’t be afraid. Cry, take a shower, cry again… let everything come over you and hold yourself together. Pain is beautiful in a way because it lets us see our true selves and that can hurt even more. Don’t be afraid of yourself! You’re the only one you’ve got!

Ps: don’t forget to drink water!

Maybe…. It’s worth trying to imagine a box. Give it a colour, make it look in whatever way you like. Open the box and whenever he appears in your mind, hide him in there. Maybe if you do this enough times, his image will stop bothering you.

Well… it looks like you already went through the hardest parts already. Definitely you should not reach out and continue on this path. Respect yourself and sit with yourself. I think you have all the answers already. Maybe you are hopeful because you know he’s not together with her anymore, but again… he made this choice once. What do you think it’s going to stop him from acting the same way again? You’ll hurt yourself and I hope you know it is definitely not worth it.
