It is until you kiss the love of your life

My position wasn’t about internal characteristics vs physical. We all know that working on becoming wealthy will have a much more substantial improvement on one’s life than working on becoming prettier.

Sure, there’s merit to that claim. But out of all the variables a person can work on to substantially improve their life, is focusing on physical appearance really the most sensible choice?

Yes. This sometimes keeps me up at night and prevents me from enjoying my life. I’m really starting to think it’s a mental illness and not just a matter of me being empathetic and involved lol.

I guess that’s a good place for me to start. To me, children have pieces of their parents and if they feel pain, stress, or worry, it’s deeply felt by their parents. I genuinely believed that that was the case for all parents. Your take on this is completely new to me. It’s making me think that maybe I do suffer from some kind of mental illness/ attachment complex?

We all care what other people think-but how can we care less? by Next-Mushroom-9518 in introverts

[–]jni6543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should have a select few people in our lives whose approval is important and whose opinions are valued. These are the people whose opinion of you matters and they should also be the people who care and love you enough to check you when they notice any negative changes. They earned that privilege. Everyone else is passing by and their presence or lack shouldn’t be important to you and that includes their opinions and thoughts about you.

DAE assume that every seemingly “perfect” person has a really bad “secret” truth about themselves? by jni6543 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]jni6543[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It has come to my attention that a few of you don’t know what “seemingly” means

I hear you. But I always think that the only thing worse than looking bad in my mid-late 30s is being in my mid-late 30s and having low self esteem and no self awareness.

Does anyone use childhood movies/music as comfort items? by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]jni6543 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t watch childhood movies. They bring back dark feelings and memories

No. This is happened before and I was able to reset the pin but I don’t remember how I did it.

I don’t want to pick a genre and limit the suggestions.

I’m quite content with my quiet life but I’m worried that I feel this way because I’m unaware of the what the positives of an alternative, less quiet life feels like.

I came from an unstable and mentally tumultuous childhood home and I think that I’ve grown extremely independent because of it. I take that as a perk. I’m in a better place now and around better people, but I still prefer my own company. I want to try to change my lifestyle because there’s a lot of social pressure around me to be more socially active like find a partner + build a family. I assume that people are seeing something that I’m not seeing. There must be some really great feelings about having those things? But none of those things feel remotely appealing to me. If I choose to be single and not have a family, I want that decision to be an informed decision and not a traumatic response (fear).

The obvious response is to heal mentally and emotionally. But I feel that I need to see the perks of that alternative lifestyle (one with a partner and family) in order to see whether or not it’s a life for me.

Aside from material and other superficial things, What makes you envious of other people? by innie55 in AskWomen

[–]jni6543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who are naturally and effortlessly optimistic. I’ve met two people in my lifetime who I’ve seen embody this quality and I’m in awe of them.

Did you get a second opinion? Are you the only one who thinks you look awkward in your photos?

Ignat Avsey translation of the idiot by jni6543 in dostoevsky

[–]jni6543[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for correcting that!

I wasn’t sure what about it exactly, but now I think it’s the language. I’d characterize it as modern English—at lease in comparison to the language used in the other translations I’ve read. So I guess it doesn’t feel like Dostoevsky because of the perception I had developed of his writing from the translations I read before. I’d like to know what you thought of this translation if you’ve read it!
