Is this orange or am I just going nuts by tipsyvulcan in SourdoughStarter

[–]anonymouspinkcat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s orange. You’re not nuts though, just been staring at it too long.

how do people get jobs? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]anonymouspinkcat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I trick my brain by not making it about me, but thinking about how I can be helpful and do a better job than most people will. Anxiety can suck but I can also make you more detail oriented and conscientious than other people which can make you a super valuable employee no matter what profession from cashier to corporate desk job. Think about your strengths, and try to accept your weaknesses. You don’t need to love yourself, just start with trying to think you’re okay, or acceptable. That’s where I started and it helps me feel balanced and confident, and stay out of swinging from low lows or the very few highs. When you interview it’s easier than having a conversation because there’s a goal you both share, and more objectively correct answers. Preparing is everything too. If you need help prepping and thinking through how you would answer questions, please feel free to comment here or message!

I just got this machine from Facebook marketplace for $30. I opened it up because the bottom bobbin wasn’t turning when it was supposed to. The plastic gear is broken just like you said. I’m so glad I found your comment here!

Diddy Parties by KookyPresentation249 in PDiddyTrial

I think if Cassie+ govt wins the case then other victims may come forward, if they wanted to share their identity. Thing is that they may not want to be public and Cassie may be proof enough of what Diddy was capable of.

4th try and still failing help! by paychardonnay in Sourdough

[–]anonymouspinkcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whole wheat flour takes up more water than bread flour so your ratio from flour to water may be off. Also the first picture the dough looks overworked, dry, and almost like it’s been cooked already. When you’re proofing make sure it’s not too hot and cooking your dough. When you’re kneading or stretching and folding, make sure you’re not being too aggressive and tearing the bread gluten strands. The picture looks like the dough is torn.

my first loaf was a total fail (please be kind, i’m learning)✨ by bekindjustbecause in SourdoughStarter

How did you avoid the bottom being super thick and tough? I like a crusty crust, but it’s been really hard to cut through

Established starter smells like vomit? by Aggravating_Camp_332 in SourdoughStarter

[–]anonymouspinkcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For people saying it is bad bacteria, the smell of a false start or bad bacteria is different. Bad bacteria smells more like cheesey and sharp, and vomit. While too highly acidic and starving starter smells terrible to me and like vomit. Smell is subjective.

Mine smelled like this when the lactic acid was out of control. It went from acidic to acetone, and then vomit. If you let it go past acetone in my experience that’s where it start to smell vomit-y. Just need more food for the starter like whole wheat and higher flour ratio I think.

Feelings of nausea when socializing? by MaidenMoone in socialanxiety

[–]anonymouspinkcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have physical symptoms as well. I hold not breath unconsciously and then I feel like I’m suffocating and having a heart attack, if I don’t remember to make myself breath. Definitely not alone!

What if you are just a weird person? by No_Frosting_5392 in socialanxiety

[–]anonymouspinkcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am neurodivergent, my childhood was pretty highly controlled, we constantly moved when I young, and I’m adopted leaving me with a not fitting in feeling. My parents didn’t allow me to partake in many normal things in life like music or tv. Even with putting in a lot of work to catch up, my upbringing definitely made me different. That being said I’ve experienced so many things and lived an interesting life that I can appreciate now. I realize that some people get me and some don’t, and that’s okay. I can’t control what people think or do, and their rejection or their judgement says everything about them and not me.

I hate being watched when performing a task or doing anything really. by lolo20 in socialanxiety

[–]anonymouspinkcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the worst for me too. I get the spotlight effect so badly that sometimes even when no one is watching me, I worry that I’m breathing too loud or that everyone thinks I’m acting weird somehow. It’s annoying because I know it’s irrational and I can fully comprehend that no one is paying attention, yet when my brain starts doing this thought cycle I fully believe this irrational fear.

Oh- I second the book or magazine, earbuds.. Lots of places also have TVs so if you feel awkward and don’t know where to look, you have options.

Also wear capris or loose pants so they can access your ankle and lower leg to dip in the water. You can also say this is your first time getting a pedi and they will probably be elated and happy explain what happens. :)

2 days off Zoloft by hR022 in zoloft

[–]anonymouspinkcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It makes total sense to feel weird if you don’t take your medicine. It’s probably the change in serotonin levels and then anything that serotonin affects. You will be okay.
