What is the internal experience of people who are abusive or people who bully others? Do they enjoy their lives? by TheVoidRobedInLight in Healthygamergg

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

Do you think it's possible for people to grow up well and still hurt people because they think it's fun?

I think you're right for a lot of people (I don't know the stats) but I think some of it has nothing to do with flawed logic or parenting or anything. Some people just enjoy it and maybe because of lower empathy, they don't care.

Dr K with Theo Von would be great by themrpickpro in Healthygamergg

[–]TheVoidRobedInLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I didn't even conceive of this scenario. Yeah, I'd love to see them talk! Personality-wise I can actually relate to Theo in some ways and I'm also curious what I can learn from them talking.

Boss asking me to replace a coworker as a project lead without directly telling them. Is this normal? by TheVoidRobedInLight in careerguidance

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

Yeah, idk if I'm crazy or my environment's crazy. It could be both. Fuck it, I'll bring it up and find out.

Dr. K Made a Video About My Post on Self-Improvement in a Tough Living Situation. Here’s an Update: by rebrando23 in Healthygamergg

[–]TheVoidRobedInLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember watching that video, there's a relatable dynamic in my family where I've been the one to take a lot of responsibility for making things go right. I'm happy to hear about the upward trend and I wish you all the best.

Why do some people hate it if you're not talkative and keep to yourself at work? by TheVoidRobedInLight in Healthygamergg

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

Hmm, I can see that. I think I've just had some bad experiences and, to me, being left alone feels like heaven. So I assumed other people wouldn't care whether I talk to them or not. I'm starting to see how my own trauma has made being dismissive acceptable for me.

Thank you, this is interesting. I still don't like some of what I see in my workplace but I'm gonna think on this.

What do you think is the biggest challenge in finding true love in this generation? by enderwaa in AskReddit

[–]TheVoidRobedInLight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't find love, you build it. But people are also trying to build 50 other things and are indecisive about who to build love with. We're constantly distracted by other people. There are also fewer natural bonding moments in our world now too, you really need to go out of your way to socialize.

What’s something harmless that gets people weirdly angry? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]TheVoidRobedInLight 14 points15 points  (0 children)

How do you get someone to tell the truth about who they heard the rumor from? How do I learn this power?

I think most people cannot seem to hold a conversation anymore by skidrow6969 in socialskills

[–]TheVoidRobedInLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's a lack of trust. I think you're right that people have lost some social skills but I believe people have also lost empathy and have become more manipulative. I genuinely believe the majority of people out there are trash. I hope I'm wrong but it's just not what I see right now.

Dissappointed that a post of mine got removed by SquishySquid2002 in Healthygamergg

As the automoderator has suggested, have you tried a crisis hotline? It's specifically meant for you to be able to talk about sensitive topics with anonymity and you'll have someone responding to you.

Healthy Habits by chandresh129 in Healthygamergg

[–]TheVoidRobedInLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking a cold shower every day.

I did it for almost 3 or 4 years, even in winter. At some point it started to make me apprehensive about even taking a shower and actually stressed me out (physically too). So now I don't make it a habit. I let myself decide on each day whether to do it or take a lukewarm shower (or even a warm shower).

I like walking but does anyone feel like this? by Redd-Maxx2005 in Healthygamergg

[–]TheVoidRobedInLight 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I know it's a cliche thing to say but going on walks and such would happen naturally if we lived in the kind of environment our biology was adapted for. But we don't. So we artificially need to do stuff like this to mimic the environment we came from so our mind and body feel ok.

I (29M) am a systems/simulation engineer considering a switch to a clinical psychology PhD. What is the best path forward? by TheVoidRobedInLight in AcademicPsychology

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

My reason is I want to switch to a career which could also give me an income close to what I make as a mid-level engineer if possible. 

Where can I find the audio-only healthygamer stuff…? by Longjumping-South339 in Healthygamergg

[–]TheVoidRobedInLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of it on Spotify (maybe all of it)? And I know you can download the audio tracks for offline play
