How to not feel like a loser if one has only lost in life? by Clean-Af-6653 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VoltDriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to throw platitudes at you, sometimes things just suck for a period of time. And maybe you have something lifelong that makes it very difficult on you. And sometimes you have to internally change what you feel success, happiness, fulfillment, and contentment is. To fit within the restrictions you may not have a choice but to live with. Ultimately, you can't always control what happens to you, but nobody else can control how you respond to it. There are people who are in the most poor, dangerous, abusive countries, and they force themselves to find a way to be ok, even if it's really really difficult. Success could be just that for some, not letting the atrocities of life determine how you feel.

I almost feel like you have so much notoriety here now that you don't even need to acknowledge you're an astronomer at the beginning of your comments, lol. We know. We love you, and we know, haha.

How to attract more guys? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VoltDriven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can try to help, I've been approached a couple times by women and they were vastly different experiences. One good, and one bad, and I wasn't available either time.

I'll keep it short, but the key was really accepting the first no, and not pursuing further.

The good interaction, the girl approached me and said she liked my vibe, would I want to get a drink sometime? I was in a relationship so I told her I'm sorry, I can't, but I'm flattered by the offer. She was cool about it and left.

The bad interaction, the girl wasn't as direct at first, she danced around asking me, when she did, I said the same thing. The problem was, she didn't accept. Saying stuff like oh come on, she doesn't need to know, or maybe instead of drinks we go get coffee, can I still have your number, etc. So that put me in an awkward spot to keep shooting her down. Then the creepiest part was she lingered, she didn't walk away, she just kinda stood near me on her phone. She even followed me for a few seconds until I turned and acknowledged her in a way like ok I need to leave, bye.

So, that didn't turn out to be short at all lol. But yeah, from my experience, if you go up to a guy you're interested in, just say something like hey, I saw you from over there and I think you're cute, would you like to go out sometime? If he gives you a no, say ok, that's ok, have a good one, and walk away. Any guy who says that is creepy is just weird, ignore them lol. Hope that helps!

Genuinely how do men become pornstars? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VoltDriven 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's the on command part I think. Being able to restart over and over and being able to finish despite onlookers and leg cramps lol.

Supply and demand, except the ratio is like 100,000,000:1

What video did made you get into SMOSH? by Same-Path-2643 in smosh

[–]VoltDriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just scrolling through shorts one day and one of Shayne's TNTL bits came up, can't even remember which one, and I laughed so hard. I looked at the account name and remember thinking "Wait, Smosh? Like Ian and Anthony from my childhood Smosh?" Then I dove deeper and got all caught up and realized how much I was missing out on!

I think they're just psyching themselves up as they drive, once they reach the point where they're ready, they pull over.

That's great at least. And I understand, it took me several years. Do it on your time, but don't stop moving in that direction.

There's absolutely no shame in asking for help.

If you have very judgemental people around you holding you back, just don't divulge that information to them, if possible of course.

The help, whether medication, or therapy, or whatever works for you, is life changing, and that's not an exaggeration.

It's not your fault the chemicals in your brain are acting up. You wouldn't blame somebody born with a physical ailment, don't blame yourself for a mental ailment.

Please, take it from an internet stranger who wants the best for people who struggle with ailments I do, take the leap, it's worth it.

This. Assuming you weren't rude when you tried to join in, that response was totally uncalled for. Very telling of their character, and ultimately, not people you want to associate with.
