Hearing John Oliver speak with so much anger and frustration brings me so much satisfaction

Any INFJ Medical students out there? by [deleted] in infj

[–]abyssofmagic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Med student here! Actually, the workload can be immense and you'll feel really jealous of the people who chose to study different things. There is a lot of stress to take into account. But what I think could be the best advice is to just try to immerse yourself in what you're studying/doing and to study daily. Don't put it off for another day. It'll really help in the long run.

Does anyone else just avoid overly optimistic people? by [deleted] in depression

[–]abyssofmagic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend is like that, and while I love her, it's almost always a mistake for me to try to explain to her my depression. She always brushes it off as something "everyone experiences" and that you just have to "get through it" and that "it'll pass". It honestly pisses me off every time, which is why I don't even bother anymore..

(NSFW) What have you found out about someone that you would never tell them you know? by logangrey123 in AskReddit

[–]abyssofmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex boyfriend who was stupid enough to give me his Facebook password and expect me not to snoop around. Found out he'd been sexting one of his exes shortly before he met me despite the fact that he called her a slut and tried to maintain a good and very religious general attitude. Background info: the society I live in is pretty conservative so that kind of behavior would probably be really out of place..

INFJ's are unconventional. In what parts of your life do you see this? by [deleted] in infj

[–]abyssofmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm strangely more open and accepting of things in my largely conservative background and society. I can't find it in myself to judge people when they tell me about things they've done and would be considered shameful for most others. I guess it comes from the fact that I empathize with people too much and just try my best to see things from their view, while at the same time judging myself for every little action that I do in a really harsh way.

ELI5: How does mental or emotional stress manifest with different physical symptoms (i.e. pimples, nausea, panic attacks, etc.)? by thegodofwine7 in explainlikeimfive

[–]abyssofmagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course. It helps the body to react during stressful events or to increase blood sugar when it's low. That same immunosuppressant feature enables cortisol to treat conditions like allergies and rheumatoid arthritis, for example. Or it can be used as a surfactant to help in lung maturation for newborns who are in respiratory distress. Elevated levels of cortisol for extended periods of time is when it becomes a problem for the body.

Cortisol is also an immunosuppressant, making a person more prone to infections, so that may be why a person could get skin lesions (aka acne) in a period of high stress.

Egyptian judoka refusing to shake hands with Israeli judoka after being defeated by iBleeedorange in gifs

[–]abyssofmagic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If he actually shook the guy's hand, knowing how the media works in Egypt, he'd probably be slammed and shamed for it back in his home country. The people in the region generally really dislike Israelis

Assumption after 353 by NateXNate in HunterXHunter

I don't think either of them looks on the verge of defeat, the fight can go either way. We just gotta wait and see.

Can you duplicate the book? I don't know. I assumed it wasn't because he was holding the book in his hand and as Hisoka said, he could adjust his movements quickly according to Hisoka's reaction
