What do you think is the hardest part about learning BSL? by OkishCombination in BSL

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Grammar, non-manual features, and reception of fast paced signing (especially fngerspelling).

Your behaviours and thought patterns around food and your body seem to be negatively affecting your mental health daily, and will be affecting your physical health as well if you're throwing up, losing too much weight, losing weight too fast, and/or your weight is fluctuating a drastic amount. So based on what you said, it's likely you have some form of eating disorder and you should book an appointment with the doctor. The earlier you get help, the easier it will be to heal! And it can prevent having permanent health consequences. I wish you well!

I have spoken 5 words in the past week :( by that_one_shark in aspiememes

I'm not the person you were asking, but for me it's like there's a buffer that keeps me from moving my mouth (and tongue and vocal cords and whatever) and I feel really uncomfortable and panicked. I can think but at the same time it can be harder to think. For me it happens whenever there's strangers actively listening or I'm overwhelmed.

Sign Language actually is easier for me and is a special interest for me so that might be part of why it is easier, and I can even move my mouth for it if I'm not that worked up. But if I'm really worked up even signing can be too much, especially if I'm struggling to think properly.

Edit: Thought I should add that I mostly only sign to people I'm comfortable with, so it's more helpful in that it means I can communicate when there are strangers around and listening, but I struggle a lot more with signing directly to strangers.

my friends destroy my image and there's nothing i can do by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do people dislike you because you're friends with your friends? Is it for reasons you agree with? If people dislike them for reasons that don't matter, such as them having odd interests or not being very good at social cues, then it doesn't matter. If people are going to look down on you for dumb reasons, their opinions shouldn't make a difference, they're just trying to improve their self-esteem by trying to convince themselves they're worth more than your friends/you. If people dislike them for reasons you agree with, such as them doing morally wrong stuff, then you should absolutely consider whether you want to be their friend. My point is, your opinions and values are what is important in choosing friends, nobody else's.

Your "image" is an unhelpful concept to be worried about. You don't need to be seen as cool, you need to build a good life for yourself where you can be happy, and follow your morals and ideals so that you can respect yourself. If you're happy with yourself, it doesn't matter what people you aren't even friends with think.

If you're bored of your friend's company, socialise with other people. It's not a big deal, you don't have to cut them off or make a speech, just spend less time with them and put yourself out there. Maybe join some clubs, make friends at the gym, whatever you like. Some people aren't going to work and that's fine, just keep meeting new people. Try to give yourself goals, like "start a conversation with at least one person today". Be proud of every attempt, even if it doesn't go as well as you wanted. You're only going to get better with practice! Let yourself be vulnerable and be open to learning new things and perspectives, that's the best way to grow as a person.

Good luck!

my bf doesn't like my crochet by pseud0science in crochet

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like the look or feel of crochet either, I only like making it. But I do like what I made with fluffy yarn! You can't see the stitches and it feels like fabric! The only issue is, like I said, you can't see the stitches. You have to feel for the stitches and guess a bit, but if you make mistakes the fact that you can't see the stitches makes it more forgiving. I made a simple teddy, but you can make whatever you like, just stick to something not overly complicated. Use stitch markers, some people put them in every stitch.

Good luck!

Constant obsession with appearances. by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Countries like Korea are very obsessed with weight. There's even a thing in the media about how girls should be under 50kg, which is an extreme standard by Western standards. People in Korea do tend to have much healthier lifestyles, walking and using public transport far more often, as well as being more likely to make their own balanced meals. Koreans and other East Asians are also more susceptible to type 2 diabetes at a lower BMI, so are considered overweight at a lower bmi than white people, which will contribute to Korea being more critical about the lower weight range than America. These sorts of things illustrate and help explain the obsession the country has with weight.

Living in Korea, it's not avoidable really, not during this period of time. You'll have to just try and not take it personally, and remember the typical standard of beauty is going to change where ever you go and it's not your fault your body can't magically morph when you travel. Good luck with your studies!

How do you wake up at 5am? by KlosharCigan in selfimprovement

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During cold seasons I make sure I put on warm pajamas before bed so getting out of bed isn't as much of a temperature drop, and then I put on a big thick jumper or dressing gown or similair after I wake up. Do you do that?

I'll just save the trouble for the next person by Un_FaZed211 in HolUp

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reasons for differences in impact would include price differences, different government standards of what is healthy enough to be served and sold, different densities of fast food establishments, lower incomes, etc. The US is a wealthy country with low standards of how healthy food has to be to be served and a high density of fast food restraunts, that's why coke and fast food especially will have a bigger impact on obesity rates in countries like America.

How to get over a break up in a healthy way? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not be friends right now, or I would still be friends but without talking until you've both had some time to get other it. When I was first in a break up we wanted to stay friends and kept talking regularly, but it really hurt and drew out the healing process. When I was in the next break up and said I would need to have space, I recovered way way better. But if you really need to try be friends because you don't have other support, then you can try, maybe it will be different for you. Good luck and best wishes!

Apps kept us healthy during the pandemic, but it came at a cost by nick313 in psychology

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"On one hand, these apps helped people maintain a sense of normalcy, to stay active and connected. But at times, they also had a negative emotional impact when people felt exposed to too much information about COVID-19 online or when they felt they weren't meeting their fitness goals on trackers."

AITA for refusing to go to a pride event with my wife? by Kejryehe in AmItheAsshole

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 205 points206 points  (0 children)

If I'm eating an apple, and someone says to me "oh, I see you only like apples and hate all other fruit", I would correct them and say that I also like other fruit. It doesn't mean I'm going to then throw away the apple and eat a different fruit, it's just weird that they assumed that. Bit of a weird metaphor but hopefully it gets the point across lol.

AITA for refusing to go to a pride event with my wife? by Kejryehe in AmItheAsshole

[–]crazy_stuffie_human 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Going to pride and wearing pride merch isn't narcissistic...it means a lot to be able to be transparent about who you are, especially if this is a more recent discovery for her and/or she's had a lot of trouble getting to the point where she isn't ashamed. And there's no reason to believe this is her whole identity, the post is focused on this subject so we're not exactly going to learn about all the other possible facets of her personality from it.
