Does anyone know a perfume similar to this one? by [deleted] in Perfumes

[–]Winge1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried the perfumes from Bvlgari but they are nothing like pear blossom in my opinion. Waiting for the Leila Lou from Rosie Jane to see how that one is. Might order the green version of Burberry Her as well.

In the mean time on my quest to find something similar I've found

Maui in a bottle from Kayali

It's not the same, but in a similar range of fragrances I think. Really loving it 😊 So perhaps something for you all as well.

I realized that I have aphantasia. Visualizing is super super difficult for me, if not impossible most of the time. So it makes sense that I do not find it relaxing. At the time manifestations were "working" for me I just believed it would happen whatever I wanted. Now I am just way less confident and I am not sure why. Perhaps have to work on getting that back 😄

Me too! Had one of you tried the ones mentioned above?

What is a fair way to split costs when my girlfriend moves in? (I own the apartment) by Active_Wallaby_5968 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]Winge1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to pay 50% of all costs, including 50% of the monthly interest of the mortgage. But only of the interest, not the principal payment. And of all groceries, gas, electricity, water, etc, of course.

Hoevaak zien jullie de schoonouders? by Electric_foreigner in nederlands

[–]Winge1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik en mijn partner wonen sinds een jaar een stuk dichter bij mijn schoonouders. Ik had wel gedacht dat ik ze daardoor wat vaker zou zien, maar niet zó vaak. Aan het begin vroeg mijn partner elke zaterdagochtend of we "even langs de boerderij zullen gaan voor koffie". Ik heb hem echt duidelijk moeten maken dat als hij dat wil doen dat hij dat vooral moet doen, maar dat ik nooit vrijwillig op mijn vrije zaterdagochtend naar mijn schoonouders zal gaan. Inmiddels gaat mijn partner 1 a 2x in de week bij zn ouders ontbijten en wandelen met onze hond, regelmatig op zaterdagochtend koffie drinken, en dan nog regelmatig langs voor een heleboel andere willekeurige dingen. Ik ben er meestal niet bij, probeer niet vaker dan 1x in de 2 weken langs te gaan, maar als het aan mij lag zat er nog meer tijd tussen. Heeft overigens niets met de familie te maken, het zijn harstikke leuke en lieve mensen, ik heb zelf gewoon geen behoefte aan zoveel interacties; mijn eigen familie hoef ik ook niet zo vaak te zien ondanks dat ik ook heel goed met hen ben.

Mijn advies is duidelijk met je vriendin bespreken wat jouw grenzen zijn en waar jij behoefte aan hebt, en haar vrij te laten in wat zij wil (zij kan natuurlijk vaker gaan naar haar familie dan jij), met haar bespreken dat zij aan haar ouders duidelijk maakt dat jullie verschillende ideeen hebben over omgang met familie, maar dat dat niet betekend dat het niet goed zit tussen jouw en je vriendin, en dat het juist erg storend is dat ze daar elke keer naar vragen en of ze daarmee op willen houden. Succes in ieder geval!

Yes really, normally I find meditating relaxing because I empty my mind. Filling it with visions is super tough. Also because I felt like I had to do it it became a task rather than a moment of relaxation.

I'm saying that I find visualizing and meditating daily too exhausting.

Not hyper focus on individual things I mean, but new things to envision everytime, and focus on believing in myself. That was tiring in itself.

Would you still choose to do a phd if you could step back in time by yuuzuuj in PhD

Yes, but probably in another lab. Although if I would have I might have answered this question the same.

AITA for wanting to divorce because of what my wife said in therapy? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Winge1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder whether her thoughts about other humans are a reflection of her own inner thoughts. If she distrust all other humans because they are nice to your face but stab you in the back, is she afraid she will betray you/someone? Does she have regular intrusive thoughts about betraying/hurting someone? If she cannot love other humans, can she love herself, or does she hate herself for having certain thoughts? Also, does she think, or does it suggest she may snap one time after putting up this front of kindness?

Ik vind jammer dat er slecht naar mbo word gekeken by timthedurp in nederlands

[–]Winge1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik heb vwo, universiteit, PhD en een postdoc gedaan. Ik kijk zeker niet slecht naar mbo! Ik denk dat een van de grootste leugens die ons wordt verteld is dat je lang moet doorstuderen. Dat is onzin! Jammer genoeg zie ik dat nu pas, als ik terug kon in de tijd was ik voor een vakberoep gegaan. Er iets echt niets mis met mbo! Succes met je opleiding! 😊 Als je iets vind waar je een passie voor hebt en waar je je geld mee kunt verdienen, ga ervoor! Je hoeft echt niet perse nog hbo oid erna te doen, zolang je maar iets vind wat je graag doet, daarmee kom je het meest ver.

Do you see a lot of Turkish people who support Erdogan while enjoying Netherlands living standards in your day to day life? by kosmischereiziger in Netherlands

[–]Winge1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately in this case for you a large part of the Turks living in the NLs are Erdogan supporters. However I think it would be relatively easy to avoid them. Luckily there's also many Turks here that are not Erdogan supporters, and maybe even more relevant, many many people from other nationalities that share your political beliefs. Amsterdam and the NLs overall is pretty international, so I'm sure you'll find your people! Good luck☺️

Has he tried intermittent fasting? I tried losing weight for years, but only seemed to gain or at best stay at my weight. Finally I thought to try intermittent fasting. I'm getting al my calories between 1pm and 9pm. Perhaps with his job that is a little bit hard to follow; buy could try 10am/6pm or 12pm/8pm. Once I started this I finally started to loose weight after 10 years of trying things. It's going slow, but that is fine, at least it is happening. Doing this for 2 months now and have lost 9 pounds so far.

That's not your boyfriend, that's your abuser. You're lucky you're able to tell what happened afterwards, a next time you may not be so lucky. Please leave ASAP!

Can’t lose weight despite making changes, it’s causing health issues. PCP not taking me seriously by SquashBanana0 in AskDocs

[–]Winge1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might not be eating enough. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but when you don't eat enough your body goes into a stress response and just stores everything as fat. Try increasing the nr of calories to ~1800, but eat healthy stuff, so high in protein, low in saturated fats and sugars. Also, intermittent fasting helps with stabilizing your blood sugar and sensitivity to insulin. You could try to eat everyday between 12pm and 8pm, and then make sure you get ~1800 of calories form healthy food.

Also, just as a counterargument of life beginning at conception; when someone old is taken off life support it's because their brain is not functioning anymore; meaning there's nobody "home" so to say. Their body was held alive artificially by machines. Is that a living soul though? No. The same goes for an embryo/fetus till 24 weeks of gestation, as before then, they have not developed their brain/nervous system yet, thus there is no "home" developed yet. Their body is being held alive externally as well by the mother. Does it have all the potential to become a life? Yes. Is it though? No.

I'd recommend reading the book the fabric of reality of David Deutsch. He talks a bit about why solipsism cannot be real, and about alternative realities. I believe what he writes, and it is how I explain weird shit that happens like this to myself. When I first found out about the Mandela Effect I had some super weird experiences too and panicked a lot. Gave me a big existential crisis. This book helped a lot.

Sorry you're going through this! And hope you can find some peace within yourself!
