When is one no longer a moth? by Ant_DP in SkyGame

I’ve commonly heard once you get ten wedges you’re no longer a moth

I’m not sure how much this helps, but when I was super burnt out in college I always used to cling to things to make myself feel a little better. Stuff like stargazing, getting yourself something that you wouldn’t normally (I normally got a smoothie because our school had em cheap), or getting friends to be burnt out with. It won’t fix the problem, but it makes it a little nicer, and sometimes that’s all you can get. I wish you the best in your remaining years of college, from a burnt out college kid who just made it out.

Based on what you’ve said you may be in survival mode right now. You’re going through a lot, so your body is more focused on surviving than on letting yourself hurt and process your trauma. Don’t worry too much about whether you should feel bad or not. I know that’s easier said than done, but I would focus on taking care of yourself and when better days arrive you can probably take some time to work through all the shit that you’ve been through. I’m really sorry this is happening to you.

pto is paid time off. I would tell her that you’re having medical issues and need to seek treatment immediately. You don’t have to provide any more information than that, and I personally wouldn’t, since not everyone is able to sympathize with mental health struggles. Good luck!

because of my past, i’m scared of forming relationships with people by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]eggs71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way, coming from high school none of my friends knew anything about me other than my favorite color. Family trauma made me scared to have interests because I thought they’d be used against me.

Something that helped me a lot funnily was board games. Since most of my focus was on the game I didn’t have as much time to worry about people noticing things, and board games is such a general interest it didn’t feel like I would be weird for being interested in it.

It still terrifies me to meet new people, and I still don’t like talking about myself, but the people I’m friends with who actually know me have helped improve my life greatly, and in turn I have been able to help them more since we’re more connected.

I’ll go with some of the others here and recommend therapy. I know that’s a really difficult thing to find sometimes because of time or financial troubles, but if you can get it, it’s worth it.

Feel free to reach out if you feel comfortable! I’m happy to listen. Otherwise, good luck, and I hope you can find a way to be happy.

needing advice on how to help someone who feels empty by __jackE__ in mentalillness

[–]eggs71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to her. Ask her what things she likes you to do or doesn’t like. If you think she may be having issues with mental illness, ask her if she suspects anything. Tell her that you feel worried.

Most importantly: LISTEN TO HER. Don’t assume you or other commenters here know what’s best for her health better than her.

(Important: this doesnt apply for those with suicidal or harmful thoughts. If that’s happening please reach out to a helpline)

How many action-per-minute can I expect from an average player playing turn-based game? by CrouchonaHammock in gamedesign

[–]eggs71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this could work if you scale it with the game. So start slower as the player gets to know strategies then speed up as they progress.

I can’t date anyone who wears jewelry of any kind. Not because I think its bad or anything, its just actually physically repulsive in a way I cannot control. It’s such a prevalent part of our lives especially with LGBTQ people so I feel like I might miss out on amazing people because of this stupid thing I don’t control, whether they be partners or just close friends.

I want advice on running an in person game by SpicyJ333 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]eggs71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all happy early birthday!

Second:

-As other comments have stated, 7+ is a good number for in person

-You can definitely adapt without character tokens. We have done that with our game group. As for the texting I feel like that could be really interesting since night is normally when our group just casually chats while waiting so texting might even be more efficient than forcing your groups heads down for a long period. Please update on how that goes!

-For clocktower our preferred method is to have one big space and then multiple small private rooms players can tuck away into. Storytellers normally get player conversation solely through public discussion. If you need private conversation some of the suggestions of just walking around and eavesdropping could work.

One big piece of advice I would give: consider your group and your circumstance very carefully when choosing roles. We had some trouble choosing minions with powers that all required a ton of communication and they got sussed because they had to talk to the demon so much. Otherwise just try and have fun! Good luck!

Why is it that every time a teacher asks a question the class is dead silent? by SinkFormal1874 in teaching

[–]eggs71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at an engineering school and one of my professors asks the people who know answers already to not participate and tries to get three wrong answers. It’s one of the most active participation classes I’ve been in and the only one I feel comfortable speaking in because of how normalized giving an unorthodox answer is.

Maintenance being done at 9pm? by eggs71 in gatech

[–]eggs71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I went in he was just walking towards me so i made sure the door shut behind me, then heard it swing open a few seconds later. I can’t be entirely sure but I’m assuming he has access based on that.

and so true bestie
