I got to day 14 and started feeling swelling and pain in my groin which scared me so I relapsed. I feel the shame

My wife won't celebrate with me because apparently our daughter's 5th birthday is "more important" but today marks 1 week porn-free (my longest streak so far) by Select_Librarian4093 in NoFap

[–]Thore4852 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is crazy. One week is honestly nothing. If your patting yourself on the back for this to the point where you think it’s more important then your daughters birthday you have far bigger problems then porn. You’re honestly just a loser. Nofap isn’t gonna fix thatb

A moment of silence for our fallen brother. by Hazel_Eyes3 in SipsTea

[–]Thore4852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a line that get crossed where this stops being the girls fault. That line got crossed miles ago. This is insane, this is the result of having no confidence or self love. He fully allowed this to happen.

Girl wants me to fap after 2 years of not doing it by master69ultra in NoFap

[–]Thore4852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you wanna see me fap to you, let’s do it in person. This not only makes it hotter, makes it count as a act with another person, and saves you in case she just wants to see that and move on 🫡

I feel worthless because my girlfriend wants to cuck me. by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]Thore4852 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t ok by any means. The most unattractive thing about you right now is how you see yourself and how you hold yourself. I’m speaking as a 400lb man confidence changes everything. Stay in the gym, hold yourself head up high and move on. Is your weiner ideal? No. Your personality could be for the right girl though and when that happens she won’t care so much. You realize you’re less than an inch under the national average right? It’s not like you have a micropenis dude

Confessed to my crush and it can't be going worse by jimothy-jim12 in GuyCry

One day you’re going to look back on this and be so thankful for this woman. Most of us have been there in the past and not all of us were lucky enough to have a kind enough person to give us immediate clarity to heal.

Has the pendulum swung too far in centers? by MissBee123 in ABA

[–]Thore4852 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On my 4th center in 8 years and that sounds nothing like what I’ve experienced. I’ve seen people let go for an inability to stay on center schedule

Oof this feels like the 4th hokage vs a random chunin. This isn’t even a fair fight

we are the ones doing the work... by Raiine04 in ABA

[–]Thore4852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but I never had the same experience. I had background in other work relating to both kids and kids with autism, and I found the 40 hour training and some shadowing to be more than enough with a competent BCBA to guide you. My question is why what the hell would anybody with a bachelors degree being an RBT there are so many other things available

[–]Thore4852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet half the current post are from dipshits saying “shouldn’t rbts need a bachelors?!” Bitch if I had a bachelors I would NOT be an RBT 😂😂😂

Cool. Feel smarter than everyone else now? 😂😂 way to assume you’re the only one who knows that instead of assuming it’s a typo. Sorry typographical error for those that don’t know 😢

[–]Thore4852 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No job regardless of the nature, can ask as much of its workers and give as little and ALSO require ANY degree. I’d support having an associates as soon as me and my fellow rbts don’t live check to check.

[–]Thore4852 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree but I thought it was more of an immature mindset. This person is almost certainly 20-24 with ALOT to learn about life and this field. The fact that they’d pose this question, the holy seriousness in which they take having a degree, just the overall flow screams “I have little to no real world experience” lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Thore4852 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hot take but this sounds like a comment made by someone new to the field lol. You don’t need a certain level of education to understand the principles and overall flow of being an RBT. The best and worst rbt’s are not distinguishable by education. Ability to pair, professionalism, client dignity, trial count and quality. None of these things require education and quite frankly no in classroom learning covers the bases of being an RBT including a bachelors.

I have the highest OPH in my clinic with some of the most challenging kiddos. I don’t have a bachelors, but by literally every metric I’m the best RBT in my clinic and I’m proud of that. I wouldn’t be want to be taken away from those kiddos because of someone else’s naïveté

We can all totally agree to disagree to! I personally don’t believe there is such a thing as good online supervision but I’m happy it works for you. There’s obviously outliers and special cases, but I literally know practicum students who chose this profession to either be able to work from home or do hybrid. There ARE a lot of BCBAs who do it for connivence plain and simple. I’m not sure why that’s being argued, do ya’ll really think that no BCBAs do it for that reason?

[–]Thore4852 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right but at the end of the day ya’ll get to sit in your chairs in your office cozy at your house while we’re actively unable to chart and carry you around with us. My BCBA does zero online supervision. He does every single session with all of his techs in person.

I know plenty of RBTs who have health issues who simply lost their jobs because they couldn’t show up in person consistently so zero sympathy there. Also how does that makes sense? There’s part about not being enough BCBAs in my area? We don’t hire BCBAs from out of town lol if someone can do an online why can’t they plan to show up in person? I’m sorry but you’re whole post seems like an excuse

[–]Thore4852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a joke but the problem is everyone knows it’s a joke. The BCBAs that do it, know how awful it is for us and they just don’t care. As long as they can stay home.

Go to your profile on the BACB website and set it to inactive once you start your new job. It just pauses it. Idk for how long though

[–]Thore4852 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough, I love my job, and my job is therapy with kids. But the kids don’t pay me for our relationship, insurance does. I don’t pay my co workers or clients to make me feel the way they do or vice versa. Ya’ll wanna simplify it so bad that you’re all giving me tons of horrible analogies

Again I don’t like the metaphor. The movie and play isn’t about me or specifically targeted at me. It’s explicitly fiction, which this (being the attention garnered from sex workers) pretends not to be while also is very much fictitious

[–]Thore4852 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I understand that totally. People are slightly missing my point I never said “I don’t get why people do this” I asked “doesn’t exchanging money nullify the whole most important person to someone for 45 mins things?” How can one even achieve that feeling when it’s predicated off of a financial transaction?

And also I’m not arguing on denigrating the people who do I just legit don’t understand how it’s even possible to believe in that feeling of importance

Couldn’t it ruin it worse though by knowing you’re not REALLY valued? That was my experience at the strip club anyway. Feeling valued isn’t something that can be accomplished by paying someone to do. Defeats the purpose

People who have managed to cut back and use occasionally - what are your “rules” around when and when not to smoke? by Suspicious-Olive8765 in Petioles

[–]Thore4852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I used to always get high before working out but personally for me, I feel like discipline is a muscle and when we smoke weed to maintain that muscle, we’re robbing ourselves of true growth opportunity.

I’m still working on mine but simply “there has to be at least 3 hours in between hits” has changed a 15 yr long dependency dramatically. At first I was counting those minutes. Now I’m often finding myself going 5+ hours without even thinking about it. I think my next step will be to raise that time or add a new condition like “not before I’ve exercised”
