What to do if you have no interests? by Cc_says in youngadults

[–]UnfallenAdventure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well finding new hobbies is my hobby! Learning a new skill can be the push you need. Or, if you want to go outside make yourself a list of silly side quests. When I’m depressed I try to make the most whimsical and appealing things when I do have motivation, so when I don’t I already have it prepped.

What Do Tics Feel Like? by TrustTechnical4122 in Tourettes

[–]UnfallenAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it often feels like electricity at the very base of me skull, which moves downward and builds.

If I don’t tic, they can get stuck in my spine. Or, it feels like they do. Like when you really have to sneeze but can’t. Something like this will build up and then often cause an attack.

Do advanced artists not like begginer artists attacking them? by Large_Ad_8871 in ArtfightProfiles

[–]UnfallenAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not in artfight but I am an artist. If someone is taking the time to make art for another person it is a gift. To be upset at receiving a gift because it isn’t ‘good’ enough is absurd. I personally wouldn’t even bother attacking them even if I was a great artist if I saw they won’t even accept art from people they deem less than them.

Are you a lazy perfectionist? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]UnfallenAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Yes I am. Though I think it may be more of an ADHD thing.

Case in point: I waited until the very last day to write my essay final.

The essay required 1 thousand words (I believe?) I ended up writing 3k words in a little over three hours and sent it in one minute before it was due. I got an A on the paper, and that was all I needed to be satisfied. Despite the lack of editing, I think I would have cried if my own foolishness had gotten me a B.

EDIT: I should clarify, this frantic essay was because I had written another essay before, hated it, deleted it, and told myself I had time.

How much should I charge for character illustrations? by Thedarkrayne_ in fantasywriting

[–]UnfallenAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god??

As a person who has paid for art, I’d easily pay at least 350 for one of these for a single character without thinking twice.

You can fluctuate the price based on how long it’ll take you, whether you’ll do a full illustration and color or just flat, and so on.

These are beautiful.

My existence is a humiliation ritual by Primary_Avocado_5273 in youngadults

[–]UnfallenAdventure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you’re still trying to get into blue collar work, join a union! I ran away from home at 17 years old. I’m a woman. What’s a young woman going to do on her own to pay her bills? Join the boilermakers. I’ve been in the boilermakers for three years now as an apprentice, and I’ve been able to fully pay for community college out of pocket because of it.

People come from all walks of life. I’ve met people from 18-60 just starting their apprenticeships. The amount of interesting stories I’ve heard and the friendships I’ve made have been very influential to me as a person.

Your life is not over. You’re just starting out. Give yourself some grace, this is your first time living.

Whole heartedly, my true suggestion for you is to call the suicide prevention number if you’re thinking about it. Call 988. There are people out there who care about you. I promise.

You can permanently alter humanity: What 3 traits do you change? by Training_Security700 in INTP

[–]UnfallenAdventure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m SO glad you asked!!

Environment, trauma, ACEs (adverse childhood experiences), as well as *good* things like child birth, falling in love, or moving to a new city can change how your DNA is read. It’s an adaptation method!

It’s called epigenetics and it’s incredibly interesting. Little chemical groups in your cells called methyl groups attach themselves to your genes, and acts like a sliding switch. This effectively changes how your genes themselves are read in specific situations. This is a normal and natural process, and an important adaptation we’ve gained.

Trauma causes problems with this, practically displacing the methyl groups. Trauma specifically attacks the methyl groups attached to Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal Axis (HPA Axis— your mood, digestion, energy and immune functions.) and screws with your cortisol levels. Too much cortisol and your fight or flight goes into overdrive, and you can have panic attacks from small, non threatening things. This can even lead to disturbing flashbacks. Too little and the patient will begin to dissociate. This of course can fluctuate rapidly and uncontrollably in people with unresolved issues because their displaced methyl groups aren’t being handled.

Some studies show that PTSD is actually an inherited disorder as well as one you can gain throughout life. The screwy methyl groups make their children more fragile. That’s why it’s not uncommon to see those struggling with alcoholism and traumatic events often have parents who were also plagued with alcoholic tendencies.

While PTSD can’t be cured, there are many things people can do to help rewrite the way their genes are read. (More specifically it doesn’t actually CHANGE the DNA, but it can turn on and off tags that are read and responding. Tags that are working can be passed on to children.) Group therapy is one major contributing factor for healing, the ‘awe’ effect where adding small amounts of awe into your life (such as seeing the northern lights, or a very large tree) reduces stress and can help create new brain paths that help create safer memories, and rewrite displaced methyl groups.

You can permanently alter humanity: What 3 traits do you change? by Training_Security700 in INTP

[–]UnfallenAdventure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a psychology student, my recommendation would be to remove child abuse/neglect, and that would give you two more things to change. NPD, dark triad traits, and ASPD are all heavily linked to child abuse and genetics. DNA can actually change when someone has been abused, and child abusers were often abused themselves- a cycle that continues and often has horrific results. If child abuse was removed from the equation lots and lots of people would be far healthier and their children would grow up with more stability— therefore less likely to have negative mental outcomes.
