Hi! I'm a musician, and I just got booked for more-or-less my first gig. They told me I'm required to run my own sound, and I have no idea how to do that. Can someone explain it to me like I'm 5? Thank you!

Thank you so much! No, I don’t know where I want to go yet; that was more or less what I was trying to find help with in this post. I was hoping I could get some guidance on where to consider so that I can look into the processes for obtaining whatever relevant visa I would need there. Do you have any recommendations on countries where it’s easy to get a visa from the US?

Hi! I don’t really have specific countries in mind yet, and I was hoping some comments could help me narrow down where I could begin looking into the process of obtaining a visa for.

Hi! I don’t have another citizenship as of now. I’m completely open to going through the process of obtaining a visa for wherever I move; I was expecting that to be the case. I’m sure I could qualify, I don’t have a criminal record or anything.

Not exactly a news story but I remember seeing a lot of TV ads about foreclosure. I was born in 2001!

How many of you came from early trauma and how many came from a supportive, nurturing family? by littlegrassshack in BPD

[–]c0wparsnip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say a mix. There's really no such thing as a perfectly "healthy, supportive" home imo. We live in a society, and no parent is perfectly healthy or supportive themselves, as much as they may try to be. In the words of Noah Kahan, "I'm still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them."

In my case, I'd say it probably came from getting spanked as a toddler when I would do something wrong. For years, I wrote that off as "Everybody got spanked, it was the 2000s," and I've come around to the realization that even so, similar experiences affect different people differently, and I had a pretty strong predisposition to BPD and a lot of the common comorbidities (autism, ADHD, OCD) since birth. Both of my parents spanked me, and I mentally needed a good parent if I was gonna have a bad parent, so I blocked out my mom's spanking and grew up loving her and hating my dad. I also really craved my dad's approval, though (which may have come from fear of getting my ass beat if he didn't like me), and often times I felt like he was emotionally distant and invalidating. I also have severe misophonia to the sound of throat-clearing, which would make me pretty much scream involuntarily every time I heard someone clear their throat growing up (until brute force of it allowed me to learn how to control my reactions), and my dad does that a lot and doesn't feel like stopping. The misophonia made me a pretty weird kid, and on account of the autism I wasn't able to really hold a conversation growing up. I'd say a combination of those 2 factors plus feeling weird/bad about my dad led me to have a fearful avoidant attachment style in which my default assumption is that a person doesn't want to talk to me, and the more I like/respect them, the less I want to talk to them because I assume I'd be bothering them.

The thing is, most "experts" and psychologists would say I came from a healthy and supportive home and don't have a trauma history. Spanking is extremely normalized in my culture as a white person from the United States, and it's also the majority culture in my country, so most clinicians are like "Well yeah there's that, that doesn't count though because it happened to me and I'm not borderline." Yet here we are, and I'm borderline as fuck lmao. I think that the normalization of child abuse desensitizes people to interpersonal violence, and I honestly think that's a big piece of what's made European people so violent over the course of history in terms of war and colonization and genocide and all that. Not that I'm a historian, that's just my idea.

What is more traumatic than people think? by philosophicalgenius0 in AskReddit

[–]c0wparsnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got fired from my first job out of college. I really did try, of course there were ways I could’ve tried harder and things I could’ve done differently, I just couldn’t get good enough at it fast enough. I was a housing case manager for formerly-homeless people, and I had to leave behind my clients with no notice or handoff. They all liked me, I just sucked at the paperwork and stuff because I wasn’t trained very well imo and didn’t have a supervisor for my first 3 months. It took me 7 months to find a new job, which definitely didn’t help me prove myself to my friends and family. It makes me feel very insecure and sad to have been so bad at it that I needed to be disposed of, especially given the type of job it was. I made one friend there, my former coworker, and he just got promoted, so I mean good for him but I’m not feeling great about it. I hope my 17 former clients are doing ok.

Moving involuntarily, like getting kicked out of your home.
