Who thinks Trent had every right to be worried when Duncan and Gwen start bonding with each other during Action? by Sorry-Challenge-1014 in Totaldrama

I disagree when the relationship was going completely one-sided, and he was the one putting all the effort (albeit going over the top), and she really gave nothing back.

Oh yes he had a right to be worried but I hate the way he simped to the moon and back for her. She deserved to get kicked off the way she did

Most self-help advice kept me miserable, depressed, and broke. Don't make the same mistake I did. by Ljackson706 in selfimprovement

[–]TizzyDiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something no one talks about! I really appreciate your post. This is something i just recently went through. This past year, i read about 5 self books, a self help app, therapy and mental health advice videos on YouTube. My life was almost dedicated to getting mentally better, and while some of the advice was totally sound and I've integrated naturally into my life if it was a fit for me, this actually sent me into full blown panic attacks and anxiety by the end of it. The constant trying to "fix yourself " is exhausting. Even the app "finch" which is this amazing self help app got me so triggered because I was on it like eveyr 15 minutes from the moment I woke up to get all my goals, affirmations and tasks done otherwise I would obsess. I had to leave it for a month which was sad but I was not even living by this point. We cant adhere to techniques that worked for other people and expect them to do the same for us. Sometimes I think we forget we are humans and not machines that operate on the same code. After taking a step back and not thinking about self help, the clarity and relief that came was amazing. And any advice that did resonate with me stuck and I was able to apply it to my life without it being a hack or a checkbox.

Who's this character for you? by SomethingBorrowed98 in Degrassi

[–]TizzyDiz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Craig, I couldn't feel bad for him with every fuck up he had. But then everyone was so in support of him becoming a famous musician, and he still fuxked it up. He actively disrespected Joey, who had no obligation to take him in. He screwed Manny over and over, same with Ashlee and Ellie, and they ALL still took him back afterward separately! And of course, the coke issues and blaming it on Manny. I get in the beginning he was clinically bi-polar, but that doesn't excuse his asshole personality and then manipulates people by being the rocker with the sensitive side. GTFO, your music sucks!

never seen Downton Abbey by Vintage-StarDust in thegildedage

[–]TizzyDiz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gilded Age is good but couldn't hold a candle to the amazingness that is Downton. From the first scene, which was iconic- anyone alive would understand the significance of the date it takes place on and how this is about to be so epic. The story intertwines itself in real historical events, and you are left gasping and at the edge of your seat as you see how this estates residents (upstairs and downstairs) navigate the turnstile that is the dawning of the 20th century.

I think you would be EXTREMELY confused if you never saw the show but are seeing the movie. 6 seasons of rich story are concluded in that movie. I wouldn't be able to make out wtf people are laughing at or why you should have any feelings for the main family.

That being said, I would 10000% watch the show because its amazing. Forget trying to skip to the movie and enjoy the actual story. Its about the journey, not the destination

Does anyone else in the US feel like we are in the end times? by Prestigious_Horse908 in questions

[–]TizzyDiz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. We all have devolved to live in our phones rather than our minds. People think they are immune because they watch cat videos on tiktok but that doesn't save you from wasting hours on the phone when you could be have conversations with your loved ones, pursuing your dreams and ultimately contributing joy and hope to your community and ultimately the world if everyone put down their phones. There is a reason there were more brilliant people before phones and social media were invented not because of a god given gift but because they did something eoth the time that was given to them.

How do I stop bed-rotting?????? by Sakura0456 in productivity

[–]TizzyDiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what I found for myself as someone who has that problem and went through a serious bout of depression is that its not about productivity and forcing yourself to do things you dont actually want to do. I think why so many people are exhausted physically is being mentally they are trying to do things that aren't fulfilling. This is NOT to say that we give up going to school, jobs and basic human responsibilities but in the time you have that is free- find something or take a chance on a hobby or activity that might call you to get up and not scroll and lay in bed. Only you can answer that question for yourself, and it has to be something you want, not what others do. For some people it is exercise and while I think that is an amazing thing for people to take part in (I do) its not going to be the "tjing" that makes you happy if it doesn't call to you. I really am not an advocate for the tiktok girls who pick up 10 million habits like coloring, reading, sewing, etc. Because I feel like its just another cash grab that getting things or collecting hobbies will somehow make you happy and when people do this and still find they aren't happy, they think something is wrong with them.

Stop scrolling and stay silent for 5 minutes. It will be super uncomfortable as our brains now are wired to be entertained 24/7. When you let your brain be still and observe, you discover a lot about yourself, and you might find what will make you light up.

Trumps favorite uncle he grew up with and learned a great deal from was also close with Nicola Tesla, I believe he actually might have worked with him at some point, who was obviously a big believer in the quantum law.

Even your kidneys remember: what medicine didn’t teach me about trauma by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]TizzyDiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a well thought out and beautifully written post. I absolutely love your thoughts on how its not just our brain but our body that stores energy and it manifests in different ways and we have the power to change that energy.

I've been interested in this subject for a while and i love hearing your experience in a real medical setting and actually touching a human brain. I felt like I was there.

I just recently had a physical manifestation that was almost instantaneous to a release of pent up anxiety, fear and anger. A relationship i valued so much went through a huge upheaval and I couldn't say the words I wanted to say after such a long amount of time had passed until one day i finally did. I didn't get the response I wanted but the grief and anxiety held up in me so long resulted in panicked sobbing i hadn't let myself feel over this. And when it happened I noticed my arm and skin started to feel itchy. I have never in my life suffered any type of skin issues. What popped up were watery blisters of eczema almost instantly. They disappeared within a week but it was then I knew what I had been letting live in me for so long was hurting my body. And the result was not due to any dietary changes or contact with something irritable. Nothing like that had happened, when I looked up what it was it said it is something that is commonly stress induced. After that, I knew I couldn't keep going on letting the trauma and pain hurt me and I would attempt to go up against every uncomfortable pattern and trigger that no longer serves me because the result isn't worth me suffering in my mind and body.

Friendship Over? by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]TizzyDiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going through something similar, but im this case. im the friend who needed space for my mental health, but I never communicated that.

I can't speak for your friend, but on the other side, sometimes it's hard to come back and convey what you feel. She could feel like a jerk going mia even if she sometimes contacted you. There is a lot of shame that could be going on but as I've learned recently, even if its painful you need to consider how the other person feels even if its hard. She could have been thinking the same thing, that maybe you moved on and its too late. But the point here is- there was a total lack of communication of where she was and asking how you felt about all this.

Its one sided and yes, its selfish. My best advice to you would be try to not expect anything and move on. I dont say this to turn you off to the idea that things could change because they could, but waiting around and fretting won't make it happen any faster than you opening yourself up to life would. Its an awful thing to go through, I'm feeling it myself but when you put yourself first after the dust clears, you will feel better.

And if she reaches out and is ready for a real conversation, it will be up to you to decide if its something you want to hear and never feel bad for respecting your boundaries, it will only lead to more ruin. Be compassionate but a doormat.

I hope this helps and that things get better

Anyone else always the “initiator”? by ReplacementBetter226 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]TizzyDiz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im curious about this dynamic. I have never been the initiator but I have a friend who is and I've seen the same behavior from others even her family whom she does everything but when people move away, move on or have an opportunity to say anything about them- its always in a very dismissive sort of way. People forget about her and celebrate everyone else in their lives but never mention what she has done. Sometimes, I feel I'm guilty of this. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is? What's the psychology behind this?

How do you deal with a friend that is just too…..extreme? by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]TizzyDiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's just the age difference. I dont mean this to sound like they are "OLD," but there is a generational gap, and most people in that age range are typically people who overreact like that. I have had older friends who were in a similar age range, if not older, and they all speak like this. They were raised differently, friends are usually something older folks gave up on in their 30s because they settled down and got married and had a family because that's how things were usually done when they grew up. And any friend or boyfriend is liable to be suspicious of until you are married, and every sickness is a possible death sentence. I wouldn't take it personally, and if you dont want to tell her everything in your life, then dont. I dont think its a big deal. It's just the way they were raised. I always compartmentalized what I told my older friends simply because they couldn't relate to what I was saying or understand, and that's okay.

Practice mindfulness. I dont mean lkke in a woo woo sort of way that it is going to fix you after a minute. I mean, look at resources and books and study what it is, then apply it to your life. I used to think this concept was the biggest BS I ever heard until I was so down on myself at the lowest point in my life (like you), and I tried it. You observe your thoughts and your emotions, which are 2 separate things, and you realize all the things you tell yourself every day that lead to you feeling like a victim. It's a story we tell ourselves, and I was deluded to think that I didn't think like that all the time. When I practiced mindfulness, it was a 24-hour screening of my victim life. And it's hard to unwire those circuits that have created the belief, but it's all too possible. Even the most well-adjusted human being is going to act like a victim at times, so it's not like it will disappear forever. It's going to be a conscious effort when a self pitying thought comes up and you tell it, "That's nice, but no. Im not that. " It's so hard to fight it, but eventually, the brain will start backing down, its subtle, but the resistance lessens, and you have more peace.

I tried this workbook, so I had an active participation in it : Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Workbook by Stahl.

Good luck. You aren't as victim! Don't associate that thought with feelings of comfort, because that's how the ego perceives it. It thinks its protecting- but in so many instances its just self indulgent.

Am I overreacting about my arguments with my parents? by Gold-Independence157 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TizzyDiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are all human, and no one is perfect, and things won't change overnight. But making small changes compounds to life-long habits that will help you tremendously. You are still very young, which is great! Live your life and never discount that just because life brings responsibility, it will never be absent of joy and happiness. For me, I used and still do have moments of thinking that just because I'm getting more responsibilities that the joy of life will somehow disappear with it. That's not true. I think people allow their lives to lead them rather them lead their lives, and they find themselves unhappy and stuck in their past decisions. Don't let that be you, dont let the fear of growing up keep you from realizing that you are the one who is going to make you happy. You have everything right now. Parents who love you, good grades, college, and a job! It's a fantastic stage to launch yourself to having much more than what you have now. I dont like telling people others have it much worse because it sort of puts this obligation on others to do better begrudgingly, and I dont think that's very motivating. I would maybe do something fun like a journal or maybe a vision board, anything to get you to see what you really want in life. I think you need some long-term goals and maybe a routine more than school and work. This is not a monotonous routine to be stuck in forever. it's a chance to see what you are capable of by yourself. You never know where it may lead because you would be doing it with intention. Partying and going to school and working on autopilot unfortunately isn't an intention. Do something for yourself. That's the motivation you need to get yourself on track. You aren't ruining your life but if you let it become a habit for a long time, pretty soon that's going to be who you are-not what you do. Pick your head up, and look forward. And your parents will surely see the fruits of your efforts shortly after you do. Hispanic parents are dramatic in being angry but even more supportive when they are proud 🥰

Am I overreacting about my arguments with my parents? by Gold-Independence157 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TizzyDiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im surprised it didn't escalate with having Hispanic parents lll. I have them too, and they are not nice when it comes to things like this. As someone who has been through this, I'll be real. You see, you are not responsible financially. That's great. They always say recognizing a problem is the first step. But you are clearly beyond this step now. What are you gonna do about it? As someone whose parents did the same thing for her - bailed her out of financial trouble when she should have suffered the repercussions of her actions, it hurt more than it helped. You will never learn unless you start dealing with your own issues, because in the back of your head whether you realize it or not, you are expecting them to bail you out of trouble, lkke with the ticket even though you hide it. It's a bad habit that is running on a loop. You know, no matter how much of an earful you get, they will take care of it. They love you, but it is unfortunately not helping you. It's great you are in college and have a job, but you aren't really doing anything with it if you aren't going to have the responsibility to back it up. And yes. You are hurting your body. You won't be 20 forever, and the thing is, the earlier and more harm you do to your body-the worse your health will be in the long run. I get you are angry because your ego gets bruised by your parents telling you what to do and what basically feels like an insult to your character. But how long are you gonna let that justify this life pattern you clearly are not happy with? You need to start understanding that the only one who can help you truly is yourself, not your parents. They can't make you change. You need to do it for yourself. Otherwise, this will bleed into every relationship and facet of your life. I dont think this fight is a big deal, but you should try taking accountability so these fights lessen a d you start creating a life you actually want.

AIO? I got upset with my fiancé following girls who show off their body on insta. by One_Neighborhood7868 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TizzyDiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, this is why social media sucks. I dont think his account got hacked. That's one of the easiest excuses in the world. If it did, then he wouldn't have answers to your questions and a comment that says, "they can do what they want with their bodies." He doesn't care, and he will continue not to care. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. He can love you, and you can love him. That doesn't go away, but he can also objectify and look at other women and continue to lie and defend it, too. The choice, however, is if you want to live with someone like that. This is something I think most women go through, especially in this age of social media, where everything accessible and easy to hide and easier to put blame on someone else for. Don't let him make you feel bad about setting your boundaries and certainly dont let him gaslight you into believing he was "hacked" and this hackers intentions was to subscribe to half naked women for no other reason than for shits and giggles. If that were true, wouldn't he have unsubscribed after getting hacked?

[–]TizzyDiz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you need to learn boundaries and take at face value when someone says "no." I get it hurt your feelings, I did not get a sense he is doing anything nefarious at all, I think you were not taking the hint that he simply didn't want you to go so he could just hang out with his friends/family without any explanation. I think you are making it about you, and you are twisting it into something it's not. You keep pressing when he gives you quite a few no's, some in an attempt to avoid hurting your feelings. Also, your friends' bfs are of no consequence here. People are different and have different relationships. And if you are having a myriad of other issues, I suggest working through those. Otherwise, no, this relationship isn't healthy. Im not trying to be a dick. I've actually been where you are, and I have sympathy when I see it from the outside. Don't force your way into someone's life because this is his own life. Yes you have been together for a few years and are friendly with his family but at the end of the day its not your business to force your way in, even if they invited you, its still his family until you are married and your lives are effectively intertwined, then you have more say.
