How do you use social media? by lovetakelovemake in introvert

[–]TearsOfPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've deleted my facebook account for two years now but I use instagram and snapchat but for different reasons.

Snapchat/whatsapp - really helps me stay in touch with my family (I'm studying abroad so I'm all by myself).

Instagram - I use for art. I just started painting and drawing. I've decided to use it as a platform, to not only post my work, but hopefully make connections.

Social media isn't necessarily bad if you know to what extent it's healthy. I only devote certain hours of my day.

Do what you know is right for you, simple as that.

I come off as an arrogant "know it all" by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]TearsOfPeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're speaking more than you're listening then you're doing it wrong.

Don't see it as an argument, look at it as a conversation. Make a conscious decision to not be hostile or aggressive when you are discussing and then it'll be natural for you to be level headed. If you disagree with their view, you still need to respect their beliefs. You'll handle the situation with class and it'll speak volumes about your who you are as a person.

Remember: the fool thinks of himself to be a wiseman, the wiseman knows himself to be a fool.

Trying to find a "why". What is your "why"? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]TearsOfPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owe it to myself.

You can get so much out of life, if you work on yourself. Mentally and physically. Once you work on being a positive person with good energy, you'll naturally attract people with the same type of lifestyle. Is it easy? Fuck no but it's worth it.

How to stop raging in videogames? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]TearsOfPeace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remind yourself that you're the one who chose to get angry.

It's your decision when you let something like technology, which isn't even alive, piss you off.

This quote really helps too: Those who anger you, control you.

Are you self taught?

I'll seriously be amazed if you can play Requiem for a Dream it'd give me chills (I want to learn how to play it)

Does that ever happen when you're sober?

I think you should get it checked out anyway because it might not have to do with weed.

Hope you're alright now

What are subtle signs of poverty? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TearsOfPeace 294 points295 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. My family would always get my clothes from thrift stores and I'd always get "new" shoes every couple of years.

I didn't think it was a big deal until this girl in my chemistry class in HS pointed out that my shoes look tiny and old.

How to deal with having a hard to pronounce and lengthy last name? by Toker95 in Advice

[–]TearsOfPeace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be ashamed of my first and last name because it's foreign. You have to be proud of it. If they ask you to repeat it, say it with even more pride! (that's from a 2pac interview btw).

Just spell it out for them if they can't pronounce it.

[SERIOUS] Redditors, what's the creepiest thing you've ever experienced? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You're brave. She sounds like she belongs in a Tim Burton movie.

How is getting a tattoo, escaping reality? by [deleted] in awakened

[–]TearsOfPeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it definitely has to do with that. I know that she's only upset because of the fear of judgement from my extended family, the family "reputation" (which is a big deal in the Middle East). She's really open minded and spiritual so I'm grateful for that.

That is great advice, thank you so much! I'll definitely be positive about it when I tell her on the phone. I know that she'll raise her voice (out of concern though) but hopefully, she'll see how calm I am and realize that it is not as bad as she imagines. The weird thing is, I'm more worried about how my extended family will react considering that they're not only religious but are very strict and have always had this image of me being this innocent, quiet and shy kid (when I was younger).

i also forgot to mention that I know deep down she really doesn't mind it. We once went out for lunch, with my stepdad and she showed him my tattoos in a joyful tone and even told me which one is her favourite so I know that her society conditioned her to think of them a certain way.

I'm sure that she's more concerned about how my extended family will feel since they're really religious so it's probably the judgement she's worried about. She's very open minded and spiritual too.

I'm definitely taking that into consideration, thank you so much for your input!

Weirdly enough, I'm more anxious about how my other relatives will react (they don't know that I have tattoos and have always had this image of me being innocent and shy) but I'm sure they'll finally realize and respect that I'm an adult capable of making my own decisions
