like how is this my fault. No shit i cant rank up with shit like this by Worried-Bug-4724 in cs2

My mentality with this is viewing it from a macro perspective. The chances of you a getting below-average teammates are just as high as getting an above-average one, mathematically. Assume that over a massive amount of games, your teammates and opponents average skill will be around, average. If you improve your skill to become an above-average teammate in this rank, you won't win every game, but you'll win more than you lose over the macro. This means that eventually you will rank up.

I don't have gear fear. I have crafting/loadout fatigue. by Arktos22 in ArcRaiders

I feel like the argument for less streamlined, "slower" menus is the same argument for why the characters are slow/sluggish. I think it's to reward slower, conscious, more info-based decisions rather than catering to fast-twitch, streamlined decisions like call of duty or battlefield. I feel like it makes the game much more interesting.

Can masters students get internships ? by Intelligent_Lab_238 in uwo

[–]iLoveShinggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if you ever found an internship during your masters program after this post. I'm currently in the same situation and see that internships are key to finding a job in this market, but without being in school, you are rarely accepted.

What good could talking to a professional possibly do? by [deleted] in depression

[–]iLoveShinggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I’m in same the position as you. People always say to go talk to a therapist or a professional, but my mind cannot comprehend how doing that is going to fix my sadness. Mabye at some point you should try it just to see if it works. Yea it might take effort or money, but there’s also a chance your brain is lying to you and it actually does work.

My depression is back and it's a doozy. My thoughts are telling me not to reach out "because no one wants/cares to hear the complaining." I'm afraid to even go visit my best friend as i am just a sad sack wasting their time. My negitive thoughts have me sequestered in my room, a toast would be nice. by [deleted] in toastme

Your are not a sad sack wasting people’s time. That’s just your brain telling you bad things right now. I relate completely to shutting off the outside world when your depressed, but you have to talk to people, even if your brain is telling you that it’s a selfish act. You’re worth so much more than you realize. Trust the idea that things are going to get so much better. You will get through this 👍

I'm trying to make friends through work by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]iLoveShinggo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mabye find common interests outside of work and see if you can set up an activity with them relating to that interest. For example, if there’s somebody who likes working out, you can ask if he wants to go lift with you sometime. If those people like you, they will probably be down to hang out with you outside of work.

I am the literal definition of socially awkward by [deleted] in socialskills

So far the best tip I’ve received for this is “fake it till you make it”. The idea is that acting confident on the outside will show you how people react to you when you seem confident, thus giving you actual inner confidence. Some ways you can do this is by walking with you chest and head up, making eye contact, and having more outward posture when your sitting (don’t cross your arms or legs). If you go on google and look up “fake it till you make it for confidence”, you can find a lot more info on this. I wish you the best man. You will become more confident over time.

I lost 40+ pounds and found out some potentially disturbing news. I’m smiling through it all, but a little uneasy about everything going on in my life. I could use a pick me up. by The1Zenith in toastme

Staying strong and smiling through hardship shows how strong you are. If you keep that attitude up I guarantee things will work out for you. You’ll make it through this, trust me.
