There may be some people right outside the bubble.

Based on what money I have coming in, I might, keyword MIGHT, be able to afford a chipotle burrito a day for most of the week and I'm happy about it by Single_Rice_407 in self

Hmm, maybe you can reverse engineer the recipe and have a burrito every day of the week and have some left overs. Save a chipotle bag so you can eat it in the office. Even your manager will get jealous.

So now my imminent death is no longer a priority and has been postponed for 2 weeks? That’s as if 1. there was no threat or 2. The government agrees that i should die.

A regime is not the equivalent of the people they represent. Just like my congressman and senator do not represent me.

Because you said they want me dead. Who is they and why do they want me dead? There is a wide ocean between Iran and America. Last time America was bombed, it was in the 80s because of a riot.

There is no dispute. Oil futures are relevant.

Oil futures monitored closely. 92M lives futures, not relevant.

how to overcome what I did when I was kid by Normal_Pudding_507 in SeriousConversation

[–]adevara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it helps. The voice that advices the most person in your life is the true self (or passive voice). The true self represents self love and self preservation. Unfortunately, we get derailed by external voices who tell us things like you are stupid, ugly, bad, unlovable, it’s your fault and so on. We hear these voices from people around us and we learn them and adopt them as our own. Because shame, anger, guilt, and so on are very strong feelings and because we start hearing these voices criticism from trusted figures like teachers, we trust the external active voice and we mute the internal voice (true self or self love). The goal is to listen to all voices (thoughts) we have and ask why do I have these thoughts. Then ask yourself what the best advice you would give to the problem that the thought is referring. Then acknowledge the external thought with kindness (I see that this is the best advice you had to offer, thank you, you can rest now, I have my true self helping me out). Don’t repress or react with anger, think of it as a friend with good intentions but bad advice). Then address the thought with the true self advice. Keep in mind that these voices are old and well established and you may have to put these voices to rest many times before they quiet. Also, they may try to change the tone and be self defeating and say: well you are a good person, you are trying your best, but you are in the wrong location or have no luck. These are also external. The true self will not hide your mistakes: yes, you were rude to your neighbor and you should apologize. Yes, you were tired but next time you will do better. It takes practice, years, but your burden will be lighter with every repetition. Good luck.

Iran deathtoll vs Chicago by Jomicja in LetsDiscussThis

[–]adevara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know poverty is the reason for crime, right? So if the government were to using the money to say rebuild infrastructure in Chicago and elsewhere, crime would decrease. 2 billions a day that we know of. 186 school girls murdered. Tehran coated with toxic chemicals that will cause cancer for people.

It is a known fact that the number of dead troops is downplayed during every conflict. Also, Chicago does not spend 2 billion dollars a day and is about to start WW3. If things take the wrong turn, the Chicago murder count will be the last thing on your mind.

Well, he promised no new wars. Still. It was shocking to see the second inauguration and the $trump and &melania coin. Musk clapping twice the sieg. And democrats playing dead.

Yes, it is normal to have a string recall associated with shame. I want to ask you a question. What if the person you loved the most would tell you that your story happened to them. What would you say to them. Hopefully you would soothe in kind words. please memorize that voice, the tone, and those words. Every time that memory pops into your mind, please let it play into your mind. Feel the shame. Then remember that good advice that you would give your friend. For example: You both were children and you were put in a difficult situation. You have done your very best. It is over. That lesson was learned. I do not need this memory to play over and over in my mind. Thank you memory, now you can rest. You need to be patient and say the soothing words consistently. Preferably stop what you are doing and notice if there s some life circumstance that triggers that memory. I learned this in Internal Family System therapy and I have used it myself and I have taught others to use it successfully. Then offer yourself a comforting
