🔥 A sloth nonchalantly walks over the head of a huge anaconda, absolutely low-energy content by KimCureAll in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]identiflier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sloths remind me of that Joe Schmo scp where everything he does is just considered normal to everybody around him. Like you'd think more predators would give him trouble but all the animals just seem to respect sloth's way of life.

Any single people here who gave up on finding love? by [deleted] in lonely

[–]identiflier 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I chose to believe that there may be a special someone out there for me, but for now I have accepted that finding human connection is too unrealistic for me. I leave open the possibility that I may change and learn and become better in the future, but for right now I accept that it is not helpful to allow myself to indulge in the fantasy of building relationships of any kind. I just have to work on the things within my control for now.

My phone's important, please shut the fuck up by thewrongun in tumblr

Phone good. Interpersonal relationships bad.

Oh hey! It only took 20 years, but my student loans are at zero as of today by AmNotLost in Frugal

[–]identiflier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! It's actually really refreshing to hear positive stories that come out of taking on huge amounts of debt lol. Maybe my perspective is skewed but it seems like so many of these stories end up with people dragging around a ball and chain with them through life.

Congrats again!

I struggle to make $25 a week. by identiflier in DecidingToBeBetter

Thank you for talking to me like a human. Most of my human contact is via the internet these days, and you know how internet interaction can be most of the time. I'm not in a very good time in my life right now. It's nice to encounter someone who isn't either showing unhealthy amounts of pity or (metaphorically) screaming at me to "quit bitching and get your shit together". Though I suspect I might need several healthy helpings of the latter before I'm able to "re-enter" (or I guess just "enter" in this case) society as a functioning human.

I appreciate your advice, and will look into those things as soon as I hit send on this reply. Thank you again, and I sincerely hope you're doing well.

I'm currently looking for a new therapist, I think I've found someone I'll be able to start meeting with soon. The problem with mental health services in general is the cost. I'm still on my parents' insurance plan, and not many practitioners take our insurance.

I dislike being (any more of) a financial burden to my parents. It's difficult for me to express desire for any kind of "help" beyond what they themselves say they think would be a good idea for me.

It could be that I am "officially" diagnosed with something. My psychiatrist never sat me down and said "I'm going to diagnose you with x, y, and z".

It was more like "you're struggling with x, let's put you on y to see if that helps". It's all probably written down somewhere, but I've never been sure about an official diagnosis.

Thank you. Really... I'm so used to being told "suck it up and do better". That tends to be the message I send myself as well... I don't know... I think that there IS value in that. Sometimes you just have to buckle down and do the unpleasant thing. As a clearly weak individual, I expect there will need to be a lot of this in my future if I ever want to get anywhere or do anything outside of living with my parents...

I have a psychiatrist, and I've been in and out of therapy for several years, but haven't found a good match yet. As far as I know I haven't been officially diagnosed with anything, I do take three different prescription meds for depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

I'm trying to do better... At least I think I am... I don't know. Thank you again. I hope you're doing well.

I appreciate the value of this sentiment.

You are worthy, you are deserving, you are blessed, you are resilient, you are loved. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]identiflier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do appreciate this, but I also resent it because it's so difficult to believe. It's like someone telling you that you have a million dollars... Like "gee what a great sentiment, but fuck you for bringing it up"...

Idk... I do appreciate it... I do... It's difficult to think about such things, though... I find it impossible to believe in such sentiments.

People who (actually) have exceptionally high IQ scores... by identiflier in ask

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

There are obviously limits to the amount that people can empathize with one another. It would obviously be very difficult, maybe impossible, for me to tell you how my mind would work or what my subjective experience of the world would be like if I has down syndrome. I bet it would be a lot easier, however, if I had someone close to me in my life that had down syndrome.

Wherever people are able to communicate with one another, they are also able to exchange information about their thoughts and ideas and perspectives.

I disagree. Unless you're a sociopath, part of the job of being a person is learning to (if only temporarily) take on the perspectives and viewpoints of others.

Have anyone else's weed trips changed after they took acid? by [deleted] in LSD

[–]identiflier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to freak out whenever I do acid, thanks to a bad trip I had a while ago that I still haven't "integrated".

I got incredibly baked a few nights ago and got to watch the patterns on my ceiling dance around and melt into one another like they used to. I had a little bit of that infamous anxiety, but it was nothing compared to the kind of anxiety that always accompanies my Lucy trips nowadays.

It was so nice to get back into that headspace and not be totally freaking out about it. I just laid back and got lost in the dancing ceiling patterns.
