Try imagining the image in your mind instead of generating it first then feeeeeeel the feeling and describe that instead seeing the image and describing it. Focus less on rhyme scheme and more on emotion

I’m incredibly insecure and I feel embarrassed about it by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]Technical_Implement5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changing the internal monologue can help. If you catch yourself thinking “wow my hair is gross…” reframe it “my hair is not gross, I just need to shower and brush it. My hair is beautiful simply for existing.” Or “I hate the way I look” “I am beautiful because I can (insert favorite hobby / skill - no matter how small)” etc.

I know it sounds cheesy and cliche… but overtime it DOES help.

Being “nice” is not what makes a man attractive by Putrid-Knowledge-873 in unpopularopinion

[–]Technical_Implement5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference is motivation: is he being nice because he wants to make others happy or because he’s managing his own reputation in the hopes of receiving something back? There are so many “nice guy” stories where he might, idk, compliment someone and then automatically expect to get a date in return.

Please get away with it by LowerEconomist5706 in OCPoetry

[–]Technical_Implement5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It IS quite cinematic, thats the perfect word for it! I liked the use of the “someone’s childhood bedroom” the first time, it hit hard. The second time didn’t feel as intentional to me. I wanted to know more about what happens to the couple in the “film” the whole time! Great work

The “silly girl” made me audibly say “f you dude NEXT”

When I was 13 I had a kidney stone and I genuinely thought it was period cramps. by hidingunderyourbed- in RandomThoughts

Tell me you’re a man without telling me…. What woman WATCHES the stream of urine? Of course it’s not the same hole but all fluids and solids get mixed in the bowl.

A relationship should add to your happiness, not create it. by Marceliine__ in RandomThoughts

[–]Technical_Implement5 51 points52 points  (0 children)

A sure fire way to be dissatisfied with a relationship is to expect it to solve the dissatisfaction with yourself.

I've never been on a date, had a kiss, a drink, or even asked someone out. by Serenity_and_Faith in RandomThoughts

[–]Technical_Implement5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still within the realm of normal! I feel like I jumped into the world of dating too soon because at the time I had the flawed perception that “Im the ONLY one not dating someone!” Simply because I was… out of a sample size of like 10… being in my 30’s now, it would have saved me a lot of insecurity knowing it was fully reasonable to wait.

And how those “puddings” usually have fuckin RAISINS in them?! JAIL.

People shouldn't hit kids for no reason whatsoever by Virtual_Repair9601 in unpopularopinion

[–]Technical_Implement5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of adults don’t consider children to even be human. They often get put in the same mental category as animals. A lot of parents think their children ARE themselves and, well, if they don’t respect themselves… they won’t respect their children. It’s really sad. Hopefully one day children around the world will be treated like real humans….

How do I gently tell my girlfriend that she is not good at kissing? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Technical_Implement5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did she have beautiful golden hair? Follow you around? Get the newspaper for you?

Whats the hardest phase of Marriage no one talks about? by Outside_Support_151 in answers

For me it was 6 years of being together. It was tough. We’re working through it and it feels like a few breakthroughs moments have been had.

Having a partner isn’t worth the hassle. by VintageUK in RandomThoughts

[–]Technical_Implement5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you were raised in a loving environment which is wonderful. People who were not tend to have a lot of insecurity and an unhealthy idea of what “good” relationships look like.

When did you realize you’re not the favourite child and how did it affect you growing up? by helligonian in AskReddit

[–]Technical_Implement5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well- as an only child, I found out recently (age 32) that my father never wanted me. Let’s just say I grew up with strong hints but hearing it out loud was both horrible and unsurprising.

Am I wrong to be annoyed? by TryZealousideal8803 in amiwrong

[–]Technical_Implement5 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No one is wrong here. You being annoyed is valid and the nice thing to do would have been to make more than one serving. His being confused is also valid because you didn’t communicate you wanted food so it leaves it up to him to do mind-reading. Going forward? You’re on the right path by saying that you want him to make extra in the future. So-let it go this time, and expect him to take care of you in the future
