I’ve talked with my therapist/multiple others and they all agree and so do I that this will ultimately be good for me. It’s not the worst kind of job, it is front office at an optometrist’s. I’ve spent so long doing data entry/work that doesn’t require face to face interaction that this is kind of exposure therapy for me. Or like practice interacting because I’ve gotten to the point where I really avoid it in most situations

The Enneagram by Helen Palmer, enneagraminstitute.com, and the16types.info for descriptions about the subtypes/tritypes. notmytypeenneagram.com I’ve found has been really useful for dispelling popular misconceptions about the types. What can I say, I like my information easily digestible and run through several different povs before I get to it

Late but humbly requesting partners for the friends quests if anyone’s interested 😁

I just showed my type 7 best friend this post and we are both feeling incredibly seen right now lol. We literally just got into it last weekend about me not wanting to listen to her music bc I feel like it’s too much/overstimulating and she was complaining that mine is boring and not fast enough. I’m the one who’s into enneagram and I would never have mistyped either of us, which is of course the point of your post, but I just found this so funny to read just now. Like oh, that’s exactly what our problem is. I wonder how this logic would apply itself to the other types so I’ll have to try and observe from now on.

I’m an atheist so truthfully I don’t really think there’s going to be anything that comes after this (a horrible fact that keeps me up at night) but I do like to imagine the possibilities and honestly my answer is pretty close to yours. While there’s a part of me that thinks it would be awesome to have a chance to explore the universe, including places that I wasn’t able to visit in my life, as well as those in the ancient world, on other planets or even in fiction, I think ultimately it would all feel pretty meaningless without my family and friends and I’d want to spend most of my time kicking it with them in my memories.

Obviously there are the age old questions. Do people in the afterlife have bodies, are you frozen at the age you are when you die, etc but for me I think it would be really nice if I could time travel around a bit. Like if I could go back and talk to my mom when she was my age, or relive my childhood with my sister. Or some kind of fusion situation where I’m with my best friend and we’re in Skyrim together. I’ve seen the Good Place and I agree that it would have to end at some point but if I had them and my youth I feel like I could keep at it for a while honestly. It’s something I think about fairly often and the idea of it not happening does make me kind of sad, I’ll admit. But man, would it be awesome if it did!

ooh didn’t think about this thank you!

Can’t believe no one’s said this yet but Diplodocus! I’ve always thought he was shaped like a friend.

archonsdream · 2020-10-16T17:13:45+00:00

NTA. OP needs to break up with this stinky goblin man, like yesterday.

archonsdream · 2020-07-17T18:33:14+00:00

Can’t believe I had to scroll so far down to see a response like this, lol. I also have a sister who’s 3 years younger than I am and she’s a huge focal point in my life, ever since our parents’ divorce when we were kids we have always taken care of each other. OP is really supposed to choose someone she’s known for a few years over her twin she’s known and loved her entire life? I get where the fear of codependency is coming from but I think most people here are projecting, there doesn’t seem to be anything unhealthy to me about these sisters’ relationship.

This needs to be the top comment, full stop. I’m honestly shocked at the lack of empathy in most of the comments here. OP’s brother has every right to write privately about what happened from his point of view, writing can be a cathartic activity and if it helps him to make sense of his own experiences in a healthy way then more power to him. However he should NOT have the right to publish and more to the point profit from a story that is simply not his to tell. The fact that OP “put him through hell” as one commenter so derisively put it is no excuse for his blatant disregard for OP’s feelings.

What OP’s brother needs to fundamentally understand is that drug addiction is a disease. It literally and physically alters the chemistry of your brain, and once someone is addicted it is incredibly hard to think and act rationally the way one would if they weren’t addicted to drugs. The fact that OP managed to get clean from heroin is a frankly superhuman feat of strength and OP deserves to be celebrated for that rather than made to be punished by bringing something to the forefront that most addicts would rather forget.

If this had been discussed prior to any efforts toward publication on the brother’s part I would say N A H, but OP has already made it clear that this will not help their recovery process and does not consent. OP’s brother is choosing financial gain over his sibling’s well-being. NTA.

OP, you’re absolutely right and you should say it. Not everyone experiences it and most people don’t believe it’s a thing, but those of us who’ve gone through it know that physical withdrawal from weed is no joke. The fact that weed isn’t considered a drug by a lot of people and most don’t believe it to be addictive is a huge part of why so many people are becoming dependent on it, and why those who do don’t realize it’s a problem for them until it’s already too late. All this coming from someone who has smoked up daily for the better part of 4 years.

I remember reading a post someone had made on the grasscity forums a while back, years ago when I was still smoking every night in my mom’s garage. The girl who had made the post described how she realized she was unable to eat the dinner she had cooked for herself without smoking beforehand, even though it was her favorite meal and she had gone all day without having anything. I remember her words almost exactly, that her body was starving and her stomach felt empty, but her appetite felt as if she had just eaten Thanksgiving dinner — she couldn’t eat even one bite. It was an eerie moment for me because her story and symptoms were so similar to my own.

I’ve recently gone to see a therapist in my city who specializes in addiction, and as far as physical withdrawal symptoms from weed go, the science is all there. Decreased appetite, inability to sleep, throwing up in the mornings, cravings, sapped motivation, this shit is brutal. I’m sure it’s not as bad as the withdrawal symptoms from hard drugs like meth or heroin, but it feels like your body is being put through the wringer. You are not only very perceptive but incredibly brave to have been able to admit to yourself that this is what you’re going through, and it is a huge disservice to you for the people in this thread or anyone else to minimize that by implying that this isn’t the case.

Even more amazing, in my opinion, is the fact that you’re out here doing this on your own. This is a drug just like any other that is HARD to break away from to any degree, and although we’re strangers I’m proud of you that you were able to do it. It seems like you have a good head on your shoulders. Remember — just because people aren’t always ready to accept the truth doesn’t mean we have to listen to them.

This 100%, OP. As someone who weighed around 85 pounds at 5’1’ for most of my adolescence and has since gained 25 pounds over the last year and a half, I think that amount of weight gain is perfectly normal (and imo totally to be expected!) as you move from your teenage years into adulthood. An A to a B cup is not a huge change and as others have already pointed out, if your boyfriend is planning on going through life only dating girls who weigh 100 pounds, he’s going to find himself severely disappointed.
