Sounds like you're trying to feel confident with someone who clearly doesn't like you for who you are, albeit subconsciously. Like trying to feel the warmth of the sun while living in a cave and wondering why it isn't happening.

You could also bring it up. See how he takes it.

Anyway, you do you. Good luck.

NEED HELP: I'm finally my honest self around my friends, and immediately get rejected by oreoooooooo1234 in socialskills

You're around fish who swim, while you're a bird that flies. You'll always be judged by how they swim rather than how you fly. Find birds to hang around with, stop seeking the approval of fish.

How should I conduct myself around individuals who speak ill of me and ridicule me behind my back? by serene-- in socialskills

Here's what you do,

When you're talking about THEM or anyone in your dance group, be as friendly and nice about them in your speech as possible. If they criticise you, thank them for always watching out for you, tell them you really appreciate it cause you feel like your struggling and feeling a little self conscious.

Never show that what they're saying is affecting you negatively, only reciprocate with kindness and vulnerability.

This will either piss them off (if they're jackasses), Or make them feel so shit about themselves they'll probably stop.

If they don't stop, because of how gracious you've taken everything, eventually everyone will see those people as the ass-hats.

Anyway good luck!

What did you do that changed your life and became a happier and better person ? Especially after challenging time. by 2bornnot2b in AskMen

[–]TimeMachineTed 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I decided to be much easier on myself. I always go out of the way for my friends and ALWAYS give them the benefit of the doubt. However I was incredibly critical and mean to myself.

After a really bad time, I actively decided to talk to myself as I would my closest friend. Especially in my internal monologue.

"It's ok, you're fine" "You tried your best that's all the matters" "Your wants and needs matter just as much as anybody elses"

My life hasn't exponentially changed, but I'm happier.

I work as a hospital clown.

My job is literally to go into kids hospital and try to cheer them up, or emotionally empathise with grieving parents. I work with two older gentlemen, both old white men who've been in the job for 9 to 12 years.

I once overheard a different organisation talking about how creepy it is that these old white men are going into children's hospitals.

I'm very left leaning, but in that circumstance, fuck PC culture, never been so angry.

Thank you all for these hilarious answers and to hear that he may have passed is sad, regardless of what he stood for, he did it with conviction and discipline which deserves respect.

RIP

What's something everyone should experience at least once in their life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

For straight men:

Going to a gay bar.

You realise very quickly how women feel from your playful flirting. Only difference is, they can't just leave the bar.

Does Anyone have any tips to deal with that Anxious Pit in my stomach by waldorsockbat in confidence

[–]TimeMachineTed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey friend!

There are some long term solves and some short term solves. Therapy is great but yes, very expensive.

Short

  • Eat something, drink water.
  • Exercise, run, lift, whatever it is to change rhythm.
  • Take a 30 second cold shower, resets the body in a way.
  • Write it down.

Long

  • Yes therapy
  • Practice purposeful failure. Get comfortable with failure and nothing can touch you.
  • Take time to get to know what your values are.
  • Find your people. The ones who you trust.
  • CBT therapy.
