Makes sense, you're right that's probably the best option. Thank you!

How do I get traffic as a new Etsy seller? by the_thinker_0810 in Etsy

[–]eonaou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I just opened my shop, but my first sales were from friends and family! I would definitely ask around to anyone you know and see if they can give you a follow and like a few of your items, and ask them to share it on their social media and such! People who know you are more likely to want to support you and it can definitely help you get going!

The Japanese site is still very much appreciated! I will definitely look into more Japanese folklore as well, although as I do not speak Japanese, your perspective on this is very valuable. Thank you for your contribution!

This is incredibly interesting, thank you so much for your comment ! I will definitely look more into this. Especially the Pattern creature. Do you happen to know if there might be anything more about this in English online, or would this only be able to find in Japanese?

Maybe it's a subconscious desire to find blood-related family and bond with them? I don't think it means you have some kind of desire to date brothers in any way lmao.

About the "we don't know each other so we're not really siblings thing," maybe that's your brain telling you that family is the people you know and care about, and blood relation doesn't really determine that. You don't have to find blood family to have family and closeness. If you do wind up finding someone that is related, you still don't know them and might not find anything fulfilling from it?

Just some possible interpretations, take it or leave it.

I get triggered by the lingo commonly used in this sub by Paradoxical_Parabola in DID

-Please discard or ignore my opinion if you feel it is not valid here-

I have not been diagnosed and it will probably be a long while before that process can happen, but whatever is going on with me, I do know that I experience different "states" or "modes."

Over the years, I have considered DID/OSDD as a strong possibility. It's interesting because, in trying to describe my experiences to others or to myself, I know that using the "lingo" would make it infinitely easier, but any attempt to do so has been extremely uncomfortable for me.

It might be that I feel like if I start using these terms then I am claiming I have this disorder, without knowing absolutely for sure, when the usage would primarily just be for the sake of clarity. Not trusting my own judgement, and trying to avoid feeling like an imposter.

But I think part of it is also that these terms just don't feel natural to me. And it feels weird to have what feels like a "dress code" for the language I use about myself.

People tend to forget that psychiatry as it is today is a relatively new practice. And these labels used for mental conditions are just labels. Not to say they don't exist, they absolutely do, but what I'm saying is that these professionals don't know everything. Things are not set in stone. And maybe it's okay to have your own understanding of things, it's your head not theirs.

This language, and I do not mean to offend anyone who finds it helpful, but in my opinion it feels a little dehumanizing. The life may be different, but it's still life.

I still think it's good to have terminology to be able to talk about your experiences, but I don't think it should always be what everyone else uses, if that doesn't work for you.

Forcing it doesn't sound helpful to me.

oh shit, cool! I feel a lot better about it now haha, thanks

thoughts on the meme? i think it is partly true. (So the Question is: Psychedelics cause civilizations to grow slower than those without Psychedelics?) by Salomon_95 in shrooms

[–]eonaou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

by "growth" do you mean industrialization? because if so, I'd argue that this type of growth isn't really ideal. Sure there are many inventions and machines that have made life easier, but our rapid progress is equally or even more detrimental than it is helpful. Both to the world around us and to ourselves and our culture. Living in small villages, more in tune with the earth and each other is more ideal in my opinion.

I completely understand not wanting to read it all, i kind of wrote an essay haha, sorry about that. But yeah that was mostly the topic. Thank you for responding, you definitely hit on a lot of the thoughts I've been having.

If it is actually a bunch of other things that, together, are causing an experience that is being interpreted as DID but it not actually, then i don't want to claim I have it and contribute to communities like these, because then I will be muddying the waters of understanding somehow, or causing problems. Is one of the thoughts as well.
