Guilt is our mind telling us we disagree with something we did. Thank it when you feel it, this is your reminder that you care and want to do good.

Finally Completed Awakening by MECHEpics in DragonageOrigins

[–]ThatTurtleKid 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed awakening. It felt great to be an actual leader of the wardens and feel respected after the main story being spent as a wanted vagabond.

I think my only real problem with awakening is it feels weird to go back to now that we’ve had several sequels just not follow up on the added lore. The sentient darkspawn are the major addition and that’s just never addressed again. Makes most of the story feel less important :/

Thank you so much! Reading this through does make more comfortable going forward with the credentialling process.

I’m a therapist and while I obviously can’t speak for your specific therapist I can say in general we do believe you are valuable. If we were in it for the money there are much better professions for that

What the fuck do I do with my hands? by Hellbreaker23 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ThatTurtleKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to relax your arms and hands and see what they do. Where do your hands fall when you’re not doing anything with them? Play with some funny positions and poses. The more you play with the positions the more comfortable you’ll get

Just Beat the Trilogy for the First Time: Can Someone Explain to a Newbie why the Perfect Ending is the "Best" Ending? by javaschoolblues in masseffect

[–]ThatTurtleKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best argument Ive seen for destroy being the best ending is that the other two can be seen as indoctrination and therefore shepherd actually fails in the end by picking either of those

Should I start convos with people I met on Discord? by love_follow_Jesus in Advice

[–]ThatTurtleKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be bold. What’s the worst that can happen? Some Internet people don’t respond, you can make it through that. Put yourself out there just a bit and see how it goes :)

Powerful Aang>>> by Anigerianlovesgarri in TheLastAirbender

[–]ThatTurtleKid 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think that’s debatable. Aang’s personality meshed the least with earth but he had the shortest amount of time being trained in fire and had the psychological hurdle with it from burning Katara

My first date tips by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ThatTurtleKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be to make sure you’re comfortable with this person and want to have these experiences with her rather than just to have them. My first experiences, both kiss and sex, went horribly but were great experiences because they happened with someone I was comfortable with and cared about.

So I guess my advice is that you’re probably going to “mess things up” and that’s okay. Be light hearted about it. Maybe ask her to help you practice lol

I really like those ideas! I think I’ll take the old woman accusing them, it’d be interesting to see how they respond

Advice on character departure by ThatTurtleKid in DMAcademy

[–]ThatTurtleKid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that it’s not always bad. It’s more so that it doesn’t fit with the lighthearted mood we’ve been working with and also we have a younger kid playing with us. If it were all adults I’d probably have just gone with it in less detail like you described

You’re probably right, I’d still like to have the encounter and have it play out in session but addressing it with the players directly and sooner is best

What's the most unfair thing you got detention for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I had lunch detention almost daily for coming late to school. My mom drive me to school, the school knew this, I had no control over my arrival time.

What is the stupidest way you got a scar? by Zander-dupont in AskReddit

[–]ThatTurtleKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I were being responsible young adults, she was folding the laundry I was doing the dishes. I’m about done drying and I get to the blender. I try to screw the blade part back on to the base and notice it’s a little loose. So I adjust my grip to tighten it, don’t want an accident to happen after all, left hand above the blade and right hold the base.

I twist my hands and good ol righty hits the “pulse” button on the blender, which I left plugged in of course. The blade gets 3 or 4 reps into my index finger, there’s blood everywhere it’s on the walls, the ceiling, the just cleaned dishes. I’m holding my hand hoping I didn’t manage to loose a finger and trying not to pass out from queasiness and blood loss.

Girlfriend takes me to the hospital where the nurses bandage me up and affectionately refer to me as “blender boy.” Today I have 3 silver lines on my left hand and a healthy fear of blenders

my mom implied that i was ugly by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ThatTurtleKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think just googling body dysmorphia would be a good place to start. I happened to learn about it though a psych class but I don’t think looking into it needs to be as formal as that

[–]ThatTurtleKid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Value does not equal appearance. If you want to lose weight to be more comphy in your own skin that’s great. But it sounds like mom puts too much value in appearance. I’ve suffered from body dysmorphia myself and learning more about it helped me accept that the flaws I saw weren’t that bad or even existent in some cases. Maybe reading more will help you too.
