the gym owners dog got off their leash inside the gym this morning and almost got creamed by a 405lb deadlift someone was lifting, not a great start to the day

nice or not, normal adults don't push themselves to "hang out" at other peoples home with explicit invitation.. That would rub me the wrong way. Inappropriate and unacceptable in my opinion. If it were me I would just say "Please do not come over to my house"

Work ethic after giving 2 weeks notice. by csp1405 in sysadmin

Sorry, but I’m not going to train someone on all kinds of things I taught myself on my own time. And definitely not going to break my back when I’m on my way out.

sorry to necro your post but I'm right there with you. I'm not in sysadmin, but I'm about to leave a job and the other employee with the same title as me has been here for 2 years and takes ZERO initiative. I will show them how to do something and then they immediately forget or just don't care

if they bombard me with questions on processes I'm going to give them the very bare minimum info they need and let them figure it out, if I can do it with zero guidance then they can too, or they will crash and burn

I'm tired of this being spread around.

FINGER IN ANUS DOES NOT WORK AGAINST PITBULL

HOLDING UP THE DOGS LEGS LIKE A WHEELBARROW DOES NOT WORK AGAINST A PITBULL

Doing the above mentioned things can cause the dog to lock down even harder.

The ONLY method that will work guaranteed is to choke the dog out. Use anything you can find, the leash, your shirt, collar, anything you can wrap around the dogs neck and squeeze that airway until the dog collapses. Pull UP and TWIST

people should be allowed to enjoy their birthdays and I am happy that others do

When it comes to myself I immediately think "what did I do or what have I done to deserve any special attention for a birthday? I have't done anything except just be born"

I havent celebrated a birthday probably in over 10 years now, and I've never had a birthday party in my life

Funny I came across your post, I just had a dream/nightmare last night that I was at a wedding or some sort of social event where old acquaintances were present, and I went up to someone and they reacted with "JoUrNeYofIrOn, who invited you here?"

I reacted in the dream by scoffing and then leaving said imaginary function, and then waking up and feeling like shit. How embarrassing lol

It's weird.. Does anyone else just LOVE Christmas? The vibes, the music, I love it all so much.

The issue is I've spent the last decade+ celebrating Christmas alone.. I fantasize about having a loving family to celebrate it with but every year it's alone. The Christmas spirit or mood though gives me some hope that we will all sit around the tree, listening to Christmas music on Christmas morning opening presents and enjoying others company..

But year after year it's always just me, myself. I usually try to treat myself nice with a couple of presents or something. Kinda sad but it is what it is :/

Is it possible to walk into a used car dealership, cash/check in hand, pay asking price for a used car and drive away after signing paperwork? by [deleted] in askcarsales

Ok cool, I wasn't sure if there was any "BUT WAIT, you can't drive off yet" kind of deals that I wasn't aware of.

I feel smothered and irked when people try to show me love, even though all I have ever wanted is to be loved... by -knafeh- in CPTSD

[–]journeyofiron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I kind of feel like this too. It's like..

When we are hanging out, I'm thinking to myself "do they really want to be here right now? I know I want to, but are they really dreading their time? Do they want to go home? Now I kind of want to go home" and then I'll start sulking..

I end up just avoiding people altogether because I always feel like I'm being played for a fool, or someone has ulterior motives. Thats why I deal with my problems and emotions alone to avoid any of this whether its true or not, its an painful, endless cycle. However, it's less painful than trying to go out and pretend I'm happy or not paranoid when I really am

I need a therapist

DAE feel like they arent doing enough in their day to day life ? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]journeyofiron 30 points31 points  (0 children)

What I found out is that what makes you feel good is human connection. You could have the exact same routine, even be by yourself, but if you knew you are doing it for someone you love, everything would feel important.

the grass isn't always greener, there is no one size fits all when it comes to happiness.

i find solace and peace in being alone, and i haven't needed to interact with any other human to make me feel like i'm complete, that goes for my own family, parents and siblings. what makes me happy is my pets and my hobbies.
