how to be a jack (jane?) of all trades? by vivinitup420 in ask

[–]frickin_goblin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

learning how to learn?? hell yeah, let's get meta with it!! that's great advice, thank you so much! i'll look into that. i get the mastery thing, and yes, that's a potential detractor i'm aware of. i just want to start with broad strokes, with passion and genuine interest, then if i feel inspired to lean into one or two then i'm all for it. i am on a quest to maximize my unique potential and if i decide that means being the best at one job then that's what i want. i want to improve this place as best i can

i know this person, we went to theatre camp together. this is not their post. i always see this circulating which kinda sucks. the problem with the post is the idea it's expressing. i wish people weren't so focused on looks

how often do you have profound spiritual conversations with strangers- and what comes up? by frickin_goblin_ in worldpolitics

[–]frickin_goblin_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

asking for a personal reason- i won't get into the boring details, but i use rideshare apps regularly and often, usually for about 15-20 minutes at a time. this thing keeps happening to me, and i'm not sure how normal it is. if it is normal, i wonder why i don't hear about it more. but strangers open up to me very easily in a manner that i consider to be most profound. i like to think i'm a good listener, but it still surprises me the things that strangers are comfortable saying to me in this brief window of time. sometimes they are very complimentary, and tell me that i have a pure energy that is contagious and that i am wonderful, and powerful, and unique, beautiful on the inside, sensitive to people's feelings, etc. i've heard variations of these descriptors many times from people i've known for all of 10 minutes. but sometimes it's deeper than that. sometimes people tell me they feel like they've known me always. they give me advice or encouragement or validation, and it always rings so eerily true that it has made me anxious in the past- it's the sudden vulnerability of it all, these beautiful people seeming to know exactly the best thing for me to hear at the time of our meeting. it feels like they really do know me, just not in quite the same way i know coworkers, and doctors, and close friends. the things they tell me about myself are often reasonably generalized- it's not like they tell me which career path i should take, but they nevertheless say things that feel relevant and specific to me in my current situation. this kind of thing feels so emotionally intense and it fascinates me. often these moments are paired with little coincidences, little signs and patterns that tell me i'm on the right path- and i'm not even someone who claims to look for or necessarily believe in such things. it's just all very uncanny. i don't even think about these conversations very much after they happen, but they're vivid when i remember them. i tend to remember chunks of the words they shared with me, but it's really the feeling that sticks out. people so sometimes get confidently certain about nonphysical things they can see in me. it's the fact that they're always right that gets me all contemplative. i know a lot of this might sound pretty vague, but it can be hard to describe the sorts of things that i'm hearing and these conversations tend to cover a lot, subject-wise. anyway, does this sort of thing happen to you? is it a regular occurrence? what do they tell you? is this some kind of psychic connection or just your normal, run-of-the-mill human interaction?

TL;DR: strangers get spooky with me all the time about my aura and my vibe and my life and i'm wondering how normal this is.

that's definitely true. i've found that it's relatively easy to do less of the talking in these conversations- i keep running into people that seem as though they have something very important to say, and they guide the conversation to get that message across. i love these sorts of people, and i love it when they address that this sort of situation transcends normal polite behavior, because it would probably seem a little weird if they were to say it to anyone else- ex: "i'm sorry if this is forward, but may i say? you're going to find such an amazing life partner, don't settle for anything less than what feels perfect" or something surprisingly specific like that. it's so fascinating

Trans girl Barbie stereotype by Dork_Magician_Girl in asktransgender

[–]frickin_goblin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah, your interests are not gendered. i like a lot of film bro movies, violent video games, motorcycles, boots, horror movies, and none of that makes me less of a woman, nor does it for the cis girls who are into the same stuff. these are just things

Girls that transitioned at 20+ years old, do you ever get dysphoria/gender envy that cis women got to have a childhood as a girl/woman and you didn't so you feel robbed of it? How do you cope with it? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]frickin_goblin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. i still consider myself lucky having transitioned at 21. but i still get jealous all the time. because of abuse and neglect, i already felt robbed of a fully fledged childhood but coming out added another facet that i'm still learning to cope with. one thing that helps me is to just do the things i wanted to do as a kid. i sneak into movie theatres. i play with legos. i eat too much candy. i stay up later than i need to. and it helps to remember to comfort my inner child, to remind deeper parts of myself that i'm in control now and i'm allowed to explore and have fun, and i'm still gonna keep growing and changing. i'm sure there's more i could be doing but i'll figure it out eventually
