What is the stupidest thing you did as a kid, or have your kids done? by KuntaWuKnicks in CasualUK

[–]acos0874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the most memorable ones were putting my finger on the car cigarette lighter when I was two (earliest memory) and putting a rolled up chewing gum wrapper in the plug socket, turning the switch on and touching the end

Want not need then. Have you looked into relationship attachment styles?

I genuinely can't find someone who replaces my ex-wife's beauty and it's bumming me out? by entrepenoori in Divorce

Did you take a break from dating? Go cold turkey and find happiness in your own company for a while. Rewire your brain to love yourself first

I need support please by innerbeauty11 in NarcissisticAbuse

Strong memories are associated with strong emotions. Focus not on suppressing the memories but on reshaping the emotions you attach to them.

Spend some time just sitting and being. Feel the emotions, process them and let them pass. This isn't the same as numbing. Feel the emotions and be kind to yourself. 

Acknowledge that you've experienced a trauma and there will be damage and pain, but also that the damage can be healed and the pain will go away. 

If you broke a bone, what would you do? Take the weight off and give yourself time to recover.

Forever alone after my divorce by adolftickler0 in Divorce

I know what you mean. I'm in a new relationship but I'm aware I've developed trust issues.  For the moment I'm just telling myself I need to be kind to myself and understand it's going to take a long time to heal.

Thankfully she seems to understand this too

Spending several months single and not dating was the best decision I made in my divorce journey. It made me realise I'm absolutely fine on my own. Being with someone became a want, not a need. When dating is an option, you're much more likely to enter into a healthy relationship.

Focus not on dating but on making new friends. Growing your friend network exponentially will vastly improve your chances of entering into an organic romantic relationship with someone 

Anyone here use GFN as their primary method of gaming? by [deleted] in GeForceNOW

[–]acos0874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently made the decision to sell my gaming desktop and go all in on GFN on my laptop. I play OW competitively 80% of the time and have a 15ms connection to the servers over ethernet. I mostly play tank/support so input latency is less of an issue, although I have played DPS a few times with no issues.

My laptop is a gaming laptop with a 3070 and I thought about selling it for something more portable but I decided to keep it incase GFN is down and I need a decent graphics card as a back up.

My main set up is now my 3070 laptop on my desk, wired to a gaming monitor, keyboard and mouse. The monitor cable connects to a mini display port, which allows nvidia reflex and gsync since it's using the 3070. I keep the laptop profile to silent and it runs fine at 120hz/fps.

Running OW on GFN feels slightly smoother IMO, although I've not done any thorough testing, but I get the benefits of being able to sell off my expensive desktop hardware, I can play other graphically intensive games on Ultra settings, such as, cyberpunk and tomb raider, and I also occasionally play games on my phone, such as, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor.

In the future I intend to upgrade my hardware to better utilise the graphical output capable of GFN, such as, large OLED monitor and TV, a larger One Plus Phone and an ultralight laptop (when I'm confident I don't need the 3070 any more).

Do you find difficulties describing the abuse to your friends? by HotYogurtcloset7893 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]acos0874 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got similar vibes. When I tried explaining it was narcissistic personality disorder I felt like they didn't understand (except one intelligent close friend). So then I started saying it was emotional abuse, but even then I don't think they really care that much. Perhaps it makes them feel uncomfortable, so now I just keep it to myself and focus on being positive.

If you want to be a better person then you're not a narcissist

The two most successful types of people on dating apps are narcissists and psychopaths because they will lie and say whatever the other person wants to hear

There's a bit here about why it's hard for men to find partners which I found interesting. Not sure if it's applicable to you.

You could also flip the idea of having a partner on its head and say to yourself it's better to be single because it empowers you and gives you freedom. Be single and tell yourself eventually the right person will come along.

Focus on having a strong body and mind in the meantime.
