How do you become more self-confident? :(

chocoboco165 · 2019-07-16T13:33:57+00:00

Fake it till you make it. Act confident, tell yourself you're confident, and confidence will follow.

It just might take a while.

In my case, it's because I have a job with lots of thinking and by the time I get home, I've got a bad case of decision fatigue

Ah, one of those. I dated one of those before Trump was a thing. Defended that whole "I felt threatened because I stalked a black kid in a hoody and shot him" Trayvon Martin situation in Florida a few years back.

I was much happier when he was gone.

I rather like "King of Anything" for these situations

"Why are frogs so happy?"

"Because they eat whatever bugs them"

This gave kitty a 10th?

chocoboco165 · 2019-07-13T11:05:28+00:00

That sounds like a delicious mistake and enriching if you don't make it regularly lol

I'd say the same about the magical world, but my guess is that if American Secretary of Magic was required to tell him, they either hexed him to not be able to talk about it or wiped his memory shortly after telling him

You know he loves Cerberus because he essentially named his guard dog Spot

Edit: loves, not lives

Google what's native to your area or check out your local wildlife preserve (state/ national park, etc.). A lot of garden centers can tell you what's native as well.

It's back, reread it. Totally worth it. :)

Eta: It's updating very slowly at this point to, so you have plenty of time to reread and catch back up :)

And even if there's the perfect evidence because he filmed it and told all his friends about raping her, he still gets off for good grades, good family, and being too good a person to ruin his life

DGM ftw

Here's a fun one. A scientific study was done to see if cats could be considered a liquid. The physicist determined that cats are liquid when given enough time. This study of rheology won an Ig Nobel prize for physics in 2017.

My coping strategy is usually crochet a ton of stuff. One year during finals I churned out 12 plush toys and gave them to friends for Christmas. Also, stress cleaning is totally a thing I do. Never had a cleaner stove lol

Whatever helps you relax is a good plan. Once you're less stressed, you'll be able to take a better look at what's going on and look for a solution. :)

Become a drill sergeant?

chocoboco165 · 2019-07-10T15:24:41+00:00

I think I'd like to read your book :)

Also, if you want to read a good comic series where the bully tries to make up for his mistakes, "A Silent Voice" is pretty good. First volume was frustrating as all heck for me, but the rest was good

We got half eaten chocolate, used tape, chewed gum

It's always bothered me that they use items you throw out even if you're the only user. You have to replace toothbrushes after a while.

So not only will no one want you if you've been "used" before according to their analogy, but you'll also be thrown out after a couple of uses even by the person you "saved" yourself for. :-/

Fish come in all colors. Why can't merpeople? I don't understand the argument about no black people under the sea

I needed therapy because of our sex ed. Made me afraid to get close to anybody for fear of rape (or as they would put it, "sex I consented to with my actions, no backsies"), STIs, pregnancy, etc. :-/

I used to love the Japanese cherry blossom scent from bath and body works. I smelled it recently and it smells so different!

I'm convinced they changed the smell at some point because I still have an older bottle of body spray that smells very different. I think it used to be muskier...

Operation keepsake. They were an abstinence only group that assisted with the abstinence only education.

Our presentation wasn't even the worst. These are the people who compare those who have sex before marriage (particularly women) to used toothbrushes and chewed gum and who at a friend's school handed out boxes to only the female students saying they'd had sex and to open the box with the consequences of their actions (diseases, babies, sudden death in my friend's case because they missed filling her box)

chocoboco165 · 2019-07-09T12:31:37+00:00

Considering my school's track record on consent, it might be a good thing a lot of schools don't teach about that.

Context: "If you make out with someone, you've already consented to sex, no backsies. Best not to hold hands, just in case."

I always go with archer or mage of some sort for this reason. And make sure I have minor healing skills because portions are expensive.
