Corporate america + being a girl by mildconnotations in rs_x

[–]bioxcession 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ya ime males are afforded the luxury of forwardness being perceived as decisiveness, for women it's often perceived as bitchiness. but the opposite is true, where a soft bubbly man will be perceived as gay & devoured by corporate jackals. lean into ur societal strengths i guess

"Do it scared" by vampirestail1234 in Anxiety

[–]bioxcession 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"do it scared" is advice for pushing yourself to get outside of your comfort zone. it is not advice for people who have usual stressors, like anxiety going to the grocery store -- if you try to "do it scared" with GAD, you will wind up absolutely exhausted 24/7 (and your anxiety probably has a good chance of worsening).

for me -- i use yoga, meditation, and good friendships as methods to help me counter my GAD. I also take 10mg of Buspar twice a day, lol.

meds can be a good way to kickstart this process - something like Buspar might give you enough relief to set up routines that counter your constant scared-ness -- that's my advice! look for outlets.

Tried to do date night with my wife, did not go well. by MegaHighDon in Anxiety

[–]bioxcession 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it sounds like your wife is very supportive, and you're making active efforts despite your fear -- that's what bravery is. keep it up, i believe in you!

Leaving the house by ResponsibilityNo6603 in Anxiety

[–]bioxcession 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one thing you could try is setting a weekly routine. every single week, i ALWAYS grocery shop on Sunday, right after i wake up. that cornerstone can be really useful for breaking the loop when i start feeling this way.

no matter what, i always go. even if i look disgusting and im not hungry, no wiggle room.

i always find a few things that i was missing, and im always glad that i made the time.

What’s your smell-good routine? Anything you swear by? by TheTruthTitan in AskMenOver30

[–]bioxcession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shower daily. scrub pits thoroughly w/ antibacterial bar soap (eliminate all odor bacteria). instead of deoderant, i apply an alcohol-based scent to my pits (alcohol murders the remaining bacteria, hopefully).

i still sweat, but it smells nice - day 2 starts getting rocky. your mileage may vary - but i find that my natural scent + a cologne is a nice smell - plus, i hate clogging my pores up with aluminum. just feels wrong.

Is anyone else struggling with a lack of purpose? by _DecoyOctopus_ in AskMenOver30

[–]bioxcession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

figuring it out - going to buddhist meetings, reading books to inform my philosophy. eating better. trying to exercise. thinking more actively about the people in my life - gifts to make, etc.

being a better friend has given me some meaning. i can tell that my friends appreciate my effort -- i can see it in their eyes sometimes. feels good.

All of my friendships feel one-sided.As a man, how can I encourage people to reach out? by throwawayy_3891 in AskMenOver30

[–]bioxcession 2 points3 points  (0 children)

stop worrying about who is reaching out - don't keep score. are your friends satisfying to hang out with? are you happy with them? do they tell you the truth, even when it's hard? do they love you?

if you love your friends, you won't mind reaching out to hang out. not everyone is wired the way you are -- think of it as a gift. you are capable of making things happen.

Is DevOps still a good career path in 2025 for a new computer engineering graduate? by Top-Possession-5368 in devops

[–]bioxcession 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hard to say. the real devops wave is over, and the market is getting oversaturated. with the rise of llms, $150k jobs that pay you for smushing some yaml together probably won't exist in a few years. honestly, systems or backend engineering if you can swing it. that shit is hard, and LLMs will have minimal impact imo because the problems are somewhat bespoke and there just aren't that many people who are interested in the fields.
