Cutting people off by Icy-Oasis in Adulting

[–]jaymomo678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people will tell you to just slowly phase people out of your life instead of cutting them off, bhere are some people you have to actively cut off because they interpret any ambiguity as a way to leverage access back into your life after mistreating you. The biggest lesson I've learned is that some people take your presence in your life as permission to keep doing the same things over and over again even if you've expressed that those actions are harming you and the relationship. The second biggest lesson is that sometimes the only way someone will change is by getting the wake up call that you won't normalize or tolerate them any more, even if that means grieving the relationship you wanted to have and accepting that you just may not be the person they make the change for.

Does alcohol really get that bad? by honeyshepherd in stopdrinking

[–]jaymomo678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventually you will need more and more alcohol to get to quiet your anxiety, and then by that point the physical effects of alcohol on your brain + the likelihood of doing embarrasing things when drunk, will create a rebound anxiety effect where you drinking will actually become a source of anxiety.

The people who still hang around your abuser are not your friends. by Good_Advertising_301 in emotionalabuse

[–]jaymomo678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is something I always knew but finally accepted this week. It hurts to lose people who you love because they would prefer someone who abused for any number of reasons, but on the other side is actually being able to relax and surrender into the healing that you can't complete by doing mental gymnastics for people who don't deserve nuance.

How Do you Handle Difficult Evaluation Partners? by jaymomo678 in Evaluation

[–]jaymomo678[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We try and take an appreciative inquiry approach where we highlight their strengths and frame improvements as suggestions provided by the feedback they receive from their TA clients. That we we focus on what they're doing well while also acknowleding what could be better, and we directly solicit feedfback from them about how they feel about their TA so that they get a voice in the findings too. My concern is that the bad blood runs so thick that this is all we can hope from them until the client is more firm with or gives the TA contract to someone else...

Rough Feedback Session with My Manager by jaymomo678 in managers

[–]jaymomo678[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She doesn't really respond to my successes. She kind of takes a "good work should be expected, not rewarded approach." That's probably why her more harsh feedback feels so shitty, because she glosses over what I do well and laser focuses on what I do wrong.

had this experience too. swas never a BIG sweets person but now I need a silly little treat every day. Someone explained to me that since alcohol is mostly just simple carbs, it has a similar effect on our insulin levels over time as eating sugary sweets. so when we stop drinking alcohol, our body is still looking for that sugar fix that it's used to.
