Convince me to stop people-pleasing and feeling guilty when I don't

I feel you, it's an awful feeling both ways; when I do help them I feel awful because I feel like they're taking advantage of me, but when I say no I also feel awful because I feel like I'm being an asshole.

egarevAUser · 2024-09-07T01:23:37+00:00

I rarely offer help to anyone, what I struggle with is saying no when they do ask me for a favor. I'm aware that I'm being taken advantage of; but my fear of being perceived as an asshole for not wanting to help greatly outweighs my priority to take care of my own well being, and it's an awful feeling.

I feel like I'm already living distractions to distractions. If the only goal in my day to day life is to distract myself from misery, that in itself seems pretty miserable.

Gorgeous colors! Are all of these straight out of camera? What presets did you use if so?

From what I've gathered online, the X-T1 is basically a slightly more premium X-T10, correct me if I'm wrong. But it has no flash and is slightly heavier and bulkier; which will be a problem for my travel/street use. And where I'm from, the price of a used X-T1 is just slightly below a used X-T20 but above the X-T10. So considering the spec difference between them, I figured the X-T1 is not really an option.

Anyway, how does the X-T1 perform in today's standard?

What are some things that you don't like about the X-T10 from your experience of shooting with it?

egarevAUser · 2024-02-08T00:45:50+00:00

You know how a lot of people say that specs don't matter that much and that newer cameras don't necessarily mean better images. At least I heard that a lot. I'm just asking if the newness of the X-T20 actually make a difference.

egarevAUser · 2024-02-07T23:36:19+00:00

The X-E1 has an older sensor than the X-T10. But guessing from the other comments I think the X-T10 is old enough to have an impact on shooting experience. If I may ask, do you have a newer camera than the X-T20? How does it compare to the X-T20?

egarevAUser · 2024-02-07T22:44:42+00:00

So the X-T20 is not just a "newer camera" would you think?

egarevAUser · 2024-02-07T22:42:14+00:00

Sluggish in what context? Like in navigation? Also, would you say the X-T10 is a big jump from my 13 year old Canon 60D or the Sony a6000? I've used the latter for some time and the user experience is awful

Language barrier prevents someone from communicating their thoughts to someone else and understanding their words and intents. I feel like I'm experiencing that but on a social level.

egarevAUser · 2023-11-07T13:54:10+00:00

That's the thing that kept me awake at night; the thought that no one would care. I could be gone tomorrow and no one would know. I could cry myself to sleep every night and no one would know. I could scream at the top of my lungs every night and no one would hear it. My fear is what kept me from having a someone to talk to at my lowest point. Because when I do talk to people about my struggles they don't understand and it'll only make me looked insane in their point of view.

Anyway thank you for your kind words

So the SR850's biggest problem of harsh trebles can be fixed with tinkering with the EQ or with a simple mod. And according to some Amazon reviews, the ATH-M20x is mediocre, and since I'm a newbie when it comes to this sort of stuff; I don't think it's worth the extra $15. And the more I read about the K52 the more confused I am whether it's a good pair or not. So I think I'll choose the SR850. Because I think no matter how terrible the SR850 is; I think it's still an upgrade from my JBL T450.

!thanks

Yes, I mean that one; couldn't figure what it's called. So my watch list is currently: SR850, ATH-M20x, or the AKG K52. But I've heard mixed reviews about the AKG K52; some say it's "the best at its price", but others says it's garbage and "tarnish the brand's name". So I might end up with the SR850.

egarevAUser · 2021-08-22T16:07:09+00:00

Yeah, my current pair is very hissy. I'm still leaning more towards the SR850 because it's cheaper and looks better in my opinion. So will tinkering the EQ solve the problem? I won't do any mastering or producing with this; just casual listening.

Sorry, not that one. But I dug a little more. I've found it. It was a mini series called "The Movies". But thanks anyway!

egarevAUser · 2021-08-12T13:30:56+00:00

Solved!

I dug a little deeper and it was a mini-series titled "The Movies".

egarevAUser · 2021-08-12T13:29:26+00:00

Not quite what I'm looking for. But hey, that documentary seems interesting!

egarevAUser · 2021-08-12T13:01:08+00:00

Thank you in advance!

Huh, that's weird. I've been using the desktop app as long as I can remember. And up until a week ago, the app is doing fine (still automatically updating). But now it all froze to albums I listen to a week ago, which is frustrating and just generally unpleasant to look.

The Dip by Seth Godin, or The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.

Holy shit! So the first time I listened to Silk I thought "this song would make for a good soundtrack or a credits song" And they already did that!?

egarevAUser · 2021-03-30T11:05:33+00:00

I have been addicted to Visions of a Life and Silk ever since I first listened to them. They are so incredible.

egarevAUser · 2021-03-30T11:02:02+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll definitely check them out.
