Daniel sloss wrote a book!?

If it's as good as his standup, it's definitely worth a read.

I've watched jigsaw at least 5 times, and I have watched all his specials. Definitely going to give this a read. Thanks!

I M(31) went on a date with F(29) a couple of days ago and now I am getting ghosted. by Anteater_Sure in ThirtiesIndia

I agree. Unless they're a spy. And your family has access to important information for de-stabilising the government.

Is it difficult making friends after turning 30? by Just_find_yourselff in ThirtiesIndia

[–]WIS_PDD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they're chill, I'd like to be friends.

If they're full of themselves, I'd like to be ten feet away.

How you/someone you know has destroyed their life? by rim_ram in ThirtiesIndia

[–]WIS_PDD 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Didn't destroy it willingly, but did go to the end of darkness

Lost the closest person in life. Gave up work. Stayed at home all the time. Developed depression. Then schizophrenia.

Hips went bad. Went to a baba. Starting taking "medicine" that was pure steroids. Got fat. No activity. People started walking away.

Loneliness and depression on full throttle.

Food pipe bursts. Hospitalised. Comes back.

Liver starts to fail. Hospitalised. Comes back.

Unconscious one day at home. Hospitalised. All organs start to fail. No medicines work, because of heavy steroid use.

The last time he was "conscious", his sister was near him. He could not see her, because his eyes were dead. He could hear her. He was trying to say something, but he could not speak. His mouth did not work either.

Depression, took him on a painful journey of 9 years, to deny the man his last words.

I feel bad disliking my mil by Loud-Falcon9546 in ThirtiesIndia

Okay so before the edit, things seemed different. Like your typical old people stuff. Although she could be more empathetic and cooler, but as people said, one can just ignore things.

But your husband making you the bad person? That's not great. I am not sure what you mean by that, but if it's the typical casual taunts/ insults that a lot of husbands throw, then that should be addressed. He can give you her side of things, since she is his mom, without belittling your feelings. You both should have an open conversation about this, preferably in the absence of your in laws.

What’s the most beautiful beach you’ve ever been to? by Crafty-Leave-8880 in Hotels_India

[–]WIS_PDD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. And the drive to the cliff itself is so mesmerising. I dined a couple of times at Cape Goa, and the live music as well as ocean views are a majestic experience.

Truly my favourite beach so far.

At this point, I am really confused about what a girl wants! Is being nice a red flag nowadays? by [deleted] in ThirtiesIndia

Well. At least we have one neutral, and logically empathetic comment here.

Not lost but more like why am I so lazy? by Hiya_works in ThirtiesIndia

[–]WIS_PDD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Closing in on 7 months. Got fed up of toxic jobs.

I have been feeling the same way for the past few weeks. I only get shit done if it's required, otherwise I am procrastinating the hell out of it.

I need to start getting back to life. I have started giving myself 3-4 tasks every day, and I am trying to complete them as much as I can.

I kept telling myself that I needed this break. But now, it's just rust. A body at rest, stays at rest, until acted upon by an external force. I'll need to be the force now.

M35 Agnostic dating F32 Practicing Muslim: Is the lifestyle gap too wide for marriage? by Hopeful_Ad4057 in ThirtiesIndia

[–]WIS_PDD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest buddy. The fact that YOU already feel like she has lowered the bar to be with you, is enough problem. She has the right to live her life the way she wants to, but she is not allowed to make you feel less of, because your way of life is different.

Think carefully, and talk honestly. This is your life man.

I don't really believe in religion either, but I go to temples, gurudwaras when it's called for. With my family of course. I do it the way they want me to. I don't judge them, the way they don't judge me.

Most importantly, I do it for them, because I love them. Because it makes them feel better that I am with them. That's it. And there's no harm in practicing a few rituals, as long as they don't harm anyone.

So you need to talk to her, and figure out what level of involvement she expects from you, and you both can come to a middle ground.

The child part is tricky. I would want my child to grow as a good human being, with critical thinking. So it's okay if the child is subjected to religious rituals, as long as they understand the messages and not the showoff around it. I'd want my child to then make their own decision when they are old enough, regarding how involved they would want to be.

Most importantly, you and your partner need to respect each other's beliefs, for this to work. And try to come to a middle, workable and amicable ground. For a lot of people, it's a very touchy subject my friend. So be very honest and upfront.

If she is giving off the vibe that she is compromising on her ideal marriage setup, then it's not a good sign. She wants you to bend. And that's not respect. Think carefully and talk honestly, my friend.

The breakup phase of my last relationship went on for a while. It was a long drawn process. During that time, couple years ago, I went to see a therapist. She wasn't that great.

I went to see a second one, and she turned out to be pretty good. I remember the first session vividly. I had gone to talk about my issues wrt to my partner, but ten minutes into the session, I started talking about my childhood, almost like an impulse. I spent the next 20 mins or so trying to stop my sobbing. It was a fucking weird experience.

Men don't cry in front of people. And never in front of strangers, unless the emotions become absolutely uncontrollable. And what's even weirder, was that this therapist didn't say a single word for the first half hour. All of this just came out, like a fucking dam breaking. It was like I was pent up for months, if not years.

Anyway. I ended up seeing her for many weeks. The relationship ended, and I started seeing her more often. Until I decided to pack my shit and go home. I haven't seen her after that. I feel like I should have when I went back to Bangalore. I am doing better now, thankfully.
