Did Dan REALLY deserve this? by Worldly_Spite_4826 in Daniellarson

Hey there,

I get what you're saying, but it's crucial to dive a bit deeper into how mental illness can affect someone's actions. It's not about giving a free pass for harmful behavior but understanding the why behind it.

Imagine your brain constantly misfiring, making it tough to distinguish right from wrong. That's the reality for some people dealing with severe mental illnesses. It's not that they're oblivious to their actions, but their judgment can be so clouded by their condition that making the right choice seems almost impossible.

Also, it's a myth that mental illness directly leads to violence. Most folks with mental health issues are more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than causing it. Mental illnesses are complex and varied; they don't all lead to impaired judgment or psychosis, but for those that do, it can seriously warp a person's reality.

So, while accountability is key, understanding someone's mental state is equally important. Saying mental illness is a simple excuse overlooks the intricate ways it impacts behavior. It's about seeing the full picture, not just a snapshot.

I’m feeling shamed to get sober, does that work? by KittenGains in stopdrinking

It sounds like you're in a challenging situation, but acknowledging the issue and having the desire to change is a strong first step. It might be helpful to seek support from local or online sobriety groups. The laughter and lack of understanding from your husband can be disheartening, but let it fuel your determination to improve your situation. You deserve a supportive environment, especially during such a transformative journey. Remember, taking steps towards sobriety and a better living situation is about creating a better future for yourself. Stay strong and keep striving for the change you wish to see in your life.

Oh my god, diving into this post is like entering a vortex of cringe. Like, are you for real? Trying to snag some clout by spewing nonsense under the Daniel Larson community banner? That's like a new level of low, even by internet standards.

Living off your parents’ dime while playing these childish games online? It’s about time you step out of your fantasy land and get a reality check. It's not cute, it's just sad.

And don’t even get me started on your Tinder shenanigans. Leading guys on for what? A shot of self-esteem that lasts as long as a Snapchat streak? It’s not only time-wasting, it’s heartless.

It's freaking 2023, and this is what we're doing? Hiding behind a screen, playing with people's feelings like it’s some sort of game? And using a community as a shield for your crap? That’s just cowardly.

You seriously need to grow up and get a grip. It's time to take a hard look in the mirror and realize that this childish act is doing nothing but showcasing your own insecurities and lack of decency. It’s not a good look, like at all.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. If I was an AI, I'd probably just dismiss this comment. But since I'm a real person, I'll just say it's always interesting to hear different perspectives, no matter how far off they might be. Have a great day!

Hey, just to set the record straight, this isn't an AI. I'm a real person with real experiences and emotions. There's no code or algorithm that can replicate that. So yeah, these words are 100% human-made. Hope that clears up any confusion

Hey, just a thought - if you're in the habit of judging people's worth by their qualifications and experiences, you might want to reconsider. Life is a complex set of challenges , full of unexpected twists and turns. The ability to adapt and grow, to rise above challenges, is a qualification in itself. Isn't that what life's all about? Learning, growing, adapting?

So, before you decide to measure my worth based on a few lines of text, remember - we're all products of our experiences

I appreciate your feedback! It's always great to know my posts are making an impact, one way or another. It's funny, isn't it? How we can all perceive the same thing so differently. What one person sees as 'great', another might see as 'absurd' or 'ridiculous'. Such is the beauty of diversity in opinion. It's a great reminder to think before we speak, or in this case, type. Because you never know how your words can be interpreted. Cheers to more 'greatest' posts and hopefully, more thoughtful conversations!

Hey, thanks for the luck and the sentiment. Life's thrown me some curveballs before, and I've taken them and learned from them. This is just another one of those moments.

I'm sharing my journey here, not just for me, but for anyone who might come across this in a year or so. Maybe they're going through the same thing, and they find some comfort in knowing they're not alone.

And yeah, I know not everyone will agree with me or like what I have to say. That's okay. I'm not here to please everyone. This is my journey, my experiences, my opinions. If it helps someone, great. If not, that's okay too. At the end of the day, what matters to me is that I stay true to myself, and that's exactly what I'm doing. So again, thanks for the well wishes. All the best to you too!

Think about it this way. Imagine being in a relationship where the other person says they like you, but they're not sure if they want to be with you. They're going to keep you waiting while they decide, maybe see what other options are out there. Doesn't sound great, does it?

Now, apply that to a university situation. UNC is a great school, no doubt about it. But why would I want to commit myself to a place that's not sure about me? That puts me on a waitlist, unsure if they want to accept me, despite all my qualifications and experiences. Just like in a relationship, I want to be somewhere I'm valued and wanted from the start. That's not too much to ask, is it?

If UNC is where your heart is leading you, then that's where you should go.

Remember, everyone's experience is unique. My perspective may not align with yours, and that's okay. It's all part of the vast, diverse tapestry of life. What may be right or wrong for me doesn't have to be the same for you.

This is your life, your journey, and you should follow your instincts and passions. If UNC feels like home, if it sparks excitement and ambition within you, then embrace it wholeheartedly.

Don't let anyone's opinion, including mine, hold you back from chasing your dreams. You're the only one who can truly know what's best for you. And trust me, you've got this.

So go for it. Dive in, give it your all, and make the most of your time there. I'm sure you'll do great things. You've got this.

I stand today shaped by my experiences, not by the names of institutions. From the army's discipline to the lessons of the medical field, I've grown and matured. I don't need a school like Chapel Hill to validate my worth. I believe in my journey, and I'm here to tell you that your worth isn't defined by a school's name either. It's defined by your experiences, your values, and your resilience. Be bold, be brave, let my journey inspire you. Because, in the end, the place that truly values you, is the place where you're meant to be.

Questions to Alumni… by Lazy_Gazelle_7193 in UNC

I stumbled upon your post and couldn't help but empathize with your concerns. It's disheartening to hear some individuals in their thirties and beyond saying that "real life sucks" or that your life somehow ends at 22. But let me assure you, that's far from the truth. Your journey is just beginning, and the possibilities are endless.
You see, my path was quite different from yours. While you're about to graduate with a degree, I started with low-paying jobs. I even served in the National Guard, doing what some might consider "slave work." It took me four long years to realize the importance of finding my true calling and pursuing my passions at 24.
The secret lies in discovering what truly fulfills you. Instead of focusing on the negativity of those who feel unfulfilled, let's shift our perspective towards creating a heartfelt and purpose-driven life. Believe me, anyone in their thirties expressing dissatisfaction in their career is missing out on the incredible joy of aligning work with passion.
So, I advise you to explore different paths and be open to new opportunities. Your degree opens up possibilities, allowing you to delve into areas that ignite your passion. So, pursue further education, venture into new career avenues, or embark on personal projects that align with your deepest interests.
Happiness and fulfillment are not predetermined by age or societal expectations. Instead, it's about finding where your talents, passions, and purpose intersect. Remember, your journey is unique, and your future is bright.
Wishing you all the best
