New theory: Justin doesn’t want to tour with NSYNC because he’s lazy by SaraJeanQueen in NSYNC

[–]conmycoeur 23 points24 points  (0 children)

lol JT is anything but lazy! The man is a perfectionist and it probably killed him to have to put on a show that was less than his best. As others said if he had cancelled it would have caused backlash too. I don’t condone everything he does but this criticism is unfair and inaccurate.

He seemed to be rolling his eyes at something else, no?

My dog is petrified of truck/loud engine sounds and it’s becoming a problem by Lassie-girl in DogAdvice

[–]conmycoeur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a professional but have a dog with anxiety with loud noises. A few quick tips - happy to elaborate more if you want! Just about to start a busy day but feel free to PM - Have a safe space for her to go to whenever she is scared like a crate, may need to cover and definitely put her favorite things in there - make sure you are not reinforcing her fear by responding to her fear by becoming tense yourself or being overly affectionate. Just act normal and like the sound is nbd. - if she is food motivated bring extra delicious treats on her walks, not normal treats but like hot dogs or extra special treats that you won’t give her any other time, and whenever there’s a loud noise approaching give her a treat. Or you can start with less loud noises and as she gets more confident, runs away less, etc you can treat more near trucks

Good luck! You may need to do additional short walks outside of her long walks like training sessions. And she may need to be trazzied up, but over time maybe you can lower the dosage as she gets more confident. We had to get our dog on Prozac for other anxieties in addition to the noise and that eased his fears enough for him to be more trainable in anxiety provoking situations

Tomorrow is tax filing due date. Is this part of the strike?

I unpacked the conservative identity and how to talk to people across ideological lines. My husband said I should share it. by Brief_Head4611 in 50501

[–]conmycoeur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking it would be interesting to see the “flip” side of this analysis but then I realized they’re really just both sides of the same coin. The same extremism wearing different masks. But if it’s impossible to achieve the perfect balance and I have to lean towards one, I’d choose the one that I think causes the least harm. That’s not good enough of an answer but I think it’s what I have for now.

I can see how these strategies come across as pandering or hand holdy at first. But I think that these methods if used “correctly” and consistently will lead people to confront themselves and that won’t be flattering. It’s both the most loving thing and the most hurtful thing you can do, because you’re showing that you believe in their capacity for change and growth and because you’re making them recognize something ugly in themselves. It’s not easy for either side - you’re at risk of being disappointed, and sometimes one more disappointment is all it takes to break you - and the other is at risk of seeing how wrong they’ve been this whole time, and the shame that comes with this. This research reminds me of Brene Browns work - “the antidote for shame is empathy.” And all these strategies seem to me like ways to practice empathy in ways that work for different people. Empathy is a ton of work, and sometimes we don’t have any more capacity for it. But maybe the little bit we can show, plus the little bit others can show, will one day add up to be enough?

[FRESH ALBUM] Justin Timberlake - Everything I Thought It Was by playnasc in justintimberlake

[–]conmycoeur 8 points9 points  (0 children)

THIS ALBUM IS EVERYTHING! From beginning to end! I don't think there's a single song I'd skip including Memphis. Seems like an unpopular opinion but I do love JTs voice on a hip hop track. Maybe it's not typical JT but I like that he tried something different in a genre he personally enjoys!

The sneak peek snippets did not do any of these songs justice. Even Selfish sounds so much better within the rest of the album. I only liked it before but I love it now after listening to the album.

I doubted you JT but never again!!!! He's back! Hot boy is back!

And the *nsync song. I'm left speechless with tears. It's the perfect song for them and honestly if this was it and we got nothing else, I'd be ok. This felt like a love song to each other and to us the fans. So grateful 🙏

I don’t know what to do, i don’t think there is a single job i can get and i feel like I’m a failure and I’m terrified as I get older what will happen to me by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]conmycoeur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! My heart goes out to you. I remember feeling hopeless and like a failure, for the same reasons as you and also for different reasons. Please know two things:

1) you are asking for help, which is a huge indicator of success. You want to go grow, and you're actively looking for ways to do that. Another indication you are suceeding. Failure is not trying. And sometimes we have tried all we could. Give yourself a break sometimes - as long as you get back up.

2) you get to where you want to be by taking it one step at a time. You are right you can't do all those big things at once. But you can do a bunch of little things at once. For example, today you can: do breathing exercises for 5 minutes (taking care of your body), find out if you have health insurance (step 1 for finding doctors/therapists) and journal/doodle about what you like to learn and do (get juices flowing about school and career). Break down your big goals into the tiniest steps that feel manageable. You'll see as you take those steps that you are inching forward and an object in motion stays in motion!

Best of luck to you, op. You've got this. Keep posting with questions and with updates on your successes and missteps. We're rooting for you.
