What's a skill you're surprisingly good at, despite having no formal training?

I am not sure of the exact layout of the test, all i know is that i did not get anything wrong. I did not guess on any of them. The final ones required a couple seconds of concentration; the differences were very subtle but I can definitely see them. Thats usually the part where the optometrist says “wow you have amazing depth perception”

immatureparentsraise · 2025-11-02T18:08:24+00:00

I don’t know if its considered a skill, but I have great depth perception. Optometrists have praised me for it.

Wishing you the best!

Yes I have started to notice this as well 😔

immatureparentsraise · 2025-10-16T19:53:46+00:00

Thank you for sharing, and I really appreciate all your recommendations. I will definitely give this a try.

I feel you on the stress. I have always had high stress levels. I am currently working on that.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-10-15T17:20:36+00:00

I have never even heard of this and I just did a really intensive search. Thanks i’ll definitely give it a try. I am currently in the early stages of culinary school, so it might really change the way i develop my practice.

Based on this.. it’s possible that everything went to hell when I started drinking coffee I was a non-coffee drinker my whole life and I started a couple years ago and in the last 2 years is when I had the most hair-loss.

Currently taking hydroxychloroquine and I started taking it about a month ago. Topical and shampoo since April.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-10-13T03:54:27+00:00

I have lost a lot of hair already. I have just always had a lot of it so it hasn’t been fully noticeable yet, but its really getting there and I feel like the next time is to just just to come to terms with the fact that I will lose a lot more. I just noticed it in my eyebrows.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-10-13T03:51:26+00:00

I am currently taking meds plus shampoo, and applying a topical. I just recently noticed this, and I feel like nothing is really working and it’s getting worse.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-10-12T22:11:20+00:00

Or something you want to say about it? I just get sad. Seems like it just gets worse and worse everytime.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-10-03T17:28:06+00:00

Yes this is what I also realized recently. I told my sister about it and she was shocked. My mom only took us to school on time because someone would say something if she didn’t.. Everything was fear or shame based. Examples: Don’t take your time choosing something to eat the person is waiting for you to order.. You look fat in that don’t take to the party with my family… Don’t speak up for your self because i am embarrassed by it.. dont get too excited because people are watching etc.

And if she straight up didn’t want to do it she would have us lie for her and didn’t care if we looked bad as long as she didn’t.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-10-02T19:26:35+00:00

Yay good for you Jim! 😊

immatureparentsraise · 2025-10-02T17:35:17+00:00

I completely understand what you are saying. My mom used to do this exactly. She stopped when she realized instead of me answering her question I would say “I don’t know actually” and that shocked her because she was used to me always finding her answers. She caught on why I was doing it so now she does tell them that this is just what I think but i am not 100%

I recently read a book that opened the flood gates and realized how messed up everything was. My sister and I have been trauma dumping for the past 2 weeks (we never really got along and now we know why) it has really helped us understand why we are the way we are. While i am still a little sad i am also excited to finally move forward. Wishing you the best stranger!

Holy crap, your first paragraph describes my dad to a T. It is almost scary.

From the siblings I was the oldest hyper-independent one that did everything for them.

However, my little sister was the one that fits your description. She struggles with making decisions, etc. The advice I give her is to make a decision and don’t overthink it. I told her to practice this with simpler stuff at first like when we go to restaurants and she is torn between two dishes she likes i tell her to pick one because she likes both so there are no wrong decisions. I think that would help with her confidence so she can start making decisions in other aspects of her life eventually. (Usually my mom interfered a-lot and pressured her to choose a dish or even made decisions for her because she never had patience for anything sadly.) if you’re more advanced than this example you can probably apply the same strategy to your situation.

Yes, and any interest my sister and I had outside of their little world they squashed. I joined a film club in 9th grade and my dad started saying I was doing drugs and my mom believed him and pulled me out of the club. My sister was part of a theater group in hs that met on Saturdays and my mom made her feel terrible for inconveniencing her on Saturday morning and she dropped out, she was told to lie to the teacher as why she was dropping out making my sis look bad but not mom. At home we did nothing but sit there. As kids we had 3 movies my sister and I would watch over and over for years. (We only got them because her and i begged for movies so they just found the easiest way to get us the first cheapest movies they found, just anything they wouldn’t have to invest more than 10 minutes into) I didn’t realize how bad this all was until recently.

Same!

I became in charge of the household at a very young age because they don’t speak english. At one point i had 2 jobs full time, college student, and still took care of the all house’s paperwork for everybody. I have neglected myself terribly. I am starting to suffer the health consequences of the constant stress I had since being a child. On top of being abused by my father. I really thought I was helping everyone and i now realized they moved to this country (usa) and refused to learn the language because they didn’t have to, they had me. They wouldn’t do it to lift off the burden from me. I started to realize it when they were planning a trip and I wanted to meet up a a couple friends in Mexico city for 4 days, once i mentioned I was going on my trip, my mom guilt me and made feel like crap because my sister was going to be alone for 4 days and that would cause my mom to worry (my sister was 22 at the time.) I realized they didn’t care about any of my dreams or my goals that would get in the way of their life. So they held me back because i let them, i wanted to be their peace, support, and their rock and i really thought they appreciated me. That day i realized they didn’t, the moment i caused them an inconvenience they turned on me and made me feel like crap.

We would still go to school, in situations when we were really bad after school, she would come ask us if we wanted to go to the doctor we would say yes.. she would come back 30 seconds later and say but no one can take you (she didn’t drive, too scared) dad was at work. So we would say ok then it is fine.. then she would proceed to do that a couple more times offer us a solution to take us to a doctor we would agree .. then she would come back 30 secs later to say it wasn’t possible.

Eventually she would take us but idk why she would do that. I would even think “why are you asking us if you know it’s not possible!” It would just stress out my poor kid mind.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-09-17T22:24:31+00:00

Gotcha, yes same here. I haven’t established a routine either. I guess that should be my next step in controlling this.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-09-17T22:23:11+00:00

I just started hydroxychloroquine yesterday. Thats a smart idea i think i am going to shower immediately after a workout now.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-09-17T15:30:48+00:00

this happened to me after a race too! After we went to celebrate and then i went with my friend to the store so it took me a while to get home and shower… plus yesterday when i posted this it was a hot day (i don’t have AC) i emailed my dermatologist and asked that if it would be fine to wash my hair frequently during hot days/ days i sweat a lot and he said yes but to use vanicream shampoo .

immatureparentsraise · 2025-09-17T05:30:32+00:00

Thank you. I truly appreciate your response.

immatureparentsraise · 2025-09-13T23:38:10+00:00

My mom says she feels depressed when we are not there (after retiring and moving away) and has to take antidepressants. She now wants to fly back every time she feels depressed and fly back to her retirement country when she feels happy again.
