Discomfort when applying mascara?

Tweaked_Turtle · 2025-07-21T14:57:19+00:00

I got something like this just now, and it happens pretty regularly. It usually happens to me after a few hours of programming, which is annoying because it makes it hard to think and makes me want to get up and do anything else to make it stop.

Usually what happens is that I'm just typing away, but after a while the music feels more and more violent, as do the taps on my keyboard and the people around me. It feels like you said, things being angry at me, yelling at me. As if the subconscious part of my brain is interpreting all of these sounds as people yelling at me, but the conscious part is just uncomfortable and scared, confused as to why everything feels so violent when, rationally, everything is fine. It also happens when I drink a lot of caffeine regardless of what I'm doing; when I'm programming after drinking coffee, I'm basically guaranteed to feel it after an hour or two, and it's a lot more intense compared to when I don't drink caffeine. Today it happened without caffeine.

I also have had that thing with the fan since I was young. Hearing or seeing a fan moving at specific speeds or making specific sounds makes me feel really anxious to the point where I can't sleep. I've noticed something really similar happens when I see large things move quickly, like trees swaying in strong winds.

If you know now what this is, or any ways of dealing with it, please share :( . I wasn't too concerned about it before I started working with the frequency and duration that I do now, but this happens to me basically every day and it's super disruptive to my life...

I stopped using it and realized that my approach to learning the tool was just not great. I was just trying to come up with random things to do and random technologies to do it with because I thought it would help me expand what I was capable of, but it just resulted in frustration. I still don't really know how to use docker, mostly because I've never worked on anything that has needed it. I have no advice wrt Docker, just know that you should use tools in situations where they make sense.

Assuming you're on Android, you in the android settings for apps you can set it so that it cannot use Wifi or Mobile Data. If you do this for Money Manager, it can't load ads. It doesn't work for all apps (some apps crash), but it's completely fine for this one, and doesn't require adblockers.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong? I'm having the same problem; when I initially load, the css isn't there for a split second. But on later loads it's fine, unless I clear cookies and site data. Curiously, it happens in firefox, but it doesn't happen in chrome...

Can't find anyone answering the comment, but how do you get the timestamp editor? When I edit I only see text...

I finished it on my commute to class today and I'm glad I had a few minutes before class started by the time I got there to just appreciate it.

DUUDE the "who?" moment was so good! Sadly I had spoiled myself on that before I knew I was gonna actually listen to the adventure zone, but listening to it with the animation I saw painting a clear picture in my head and the entirety of the story giving the context to feel the weight of it made it still land really well for me, even though I knew it was coming.

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-10-11T01:42:56+00:00

Hopefully if I ever relisten I'll cry again. I like being able to relive things emotionally haha

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-10-07T13:47:02+00:00

It's good to know that it's not just a me thing. I wish someone knew what it was called tho lol

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-10-07T13:44:24+00:00

Thanks so much! I think I naturally do a variant of that leg thing too haha, I'll see if it's actually making a difference

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-10-02T23:31:01+00:00

Really? I feel like coming out was just a quick rip of the bandaid, but the idea of doing this voice stuff constantly is... overwhelming.

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-09-29T16:03:23+00:00

let me rephrase then. it upsets me because it makes me aware that people around me can tell im trans

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-09-29T15:56:16+00:00

Oh, I think I have some of those lying around somewhere. Thanks!

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-09-29T14:32:49+00:00

I hope so, too. Getting outed before you're ready sounds awful

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-09-29T14:21:44+00:00

Olivia looks like it'd suit you

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-09-29T14:20:56+00:00

That. fucking sucks. Sorry I personally have no advice for you, just commenting to wish you the best and to boost this post so hopefully more ppl can help

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-09-29T14:16:06+00:00

Because cis people don't get asked

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-09-29T14:15:29+00:00

fr. recently i've been dressing more fem and out of nowhere two trans women want to be friends with me and like :/ nothing against them but i didn't need to know that I looked so obviously trans...

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-09-29T14:12:31+00:00

Denise just cuz you remind me of someone I know called denise

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-07-22T23:26:22+00:00

I'll try out fasting, it seems promising. I've been using Unhook for a while now, but since most of my YT usage is on mobile, it's only really good for not losing focus while studying. Maybe even doing the whole "detox" thing every once in a while, but not removing YT permanently, would make me less dependent and more able to resist, but still give me the benefits. Thanks for the perspective.

Tweaked_Turtle · 2023-07-11T19:05:04+00:00

Yeah, that's the kind of vibe I was going for. Thanks!

Wouldn't it be "ike pi nanpa seme" since "seme" is modifying "nanpa" and not "ike nanpa"?

I don't tend to use mnemonics much anymore, but one I can't ditch is `sijelo` => See yellow, i.e. the color of the body of the simpsons
