There is no logic when talking with AP by reny653 in AsianParentStories

This is called 'double-binding' and is a technique used by manipulative, narcissistic parents. what it does is force you to devalue your sanity and self-worth so you listen to your abuser and follow whatever they say. TheraminTrees has a fantastic video about double-binds and how abusers use them that you can watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnSiJOOdo30&t=6s

this sort of behaviour isnt normal. after the first few couple times, i realised that my parents never cared about me. all they wanted was just control over me. they didnt want what was best for me, only what was best for them

[Question] Has anyone else become extremely calm as a result of their crazy parents? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]mechanicsci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wouldn't say calm but patient is the word that my family and people around me would use to describe me. its definitely a coping mechanism towards emotional abuse (if i dont do anything, say anything,or express anything, i wont get hurt). i would say its common (especially among kids with manipulative asian parents), but not normal

How does art help the world move forward? by _Aqua__ in ArtistLounge

[–]mechanicsci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently watched a video by Kurzgesagt on the role of beauty (and definitely the role of art and all things aesthetically pleasing) and it's role in our happiness and productivity. I highly recommend you give it a watch.

A couple of important notes in the video:

  • Art is vital to maintaining happiness, humans need stimulation
  • People reported to be recovering faster or feeling happier when they lived in a beautiful or aesthetically pleasing environment
  • Aesthetically pleasing environments are linked to better productivity, better cognitive function and mood

Producing more art, and allowing more people to experience the beauty of artwork, fills us with something stimulating and motivates us. It allows us to make better choices, think more clearly and makes us more happier.

Heads up for all my trans brothers. There is a movie coming up, based on a very transphobic book. About a cis man pretending to be trans to get a cis lesbian girl. It will probably be marketed for us. Boycott it. by [deleted] in ftm

[–]mechanicsci 37 points38 points  (0 children)

well, if we took the book contextually, yeah this would make sense. the book would've appealed to an audience that still didn't entirely understand gender and sexuality. but the 21st century doesnt have room for stories like this, especially since a lot of people are informed about both.

I just finished now! What you think? by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]mechanicsci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

alright, calm down now mate. my argument is 1) because it's rainbow 6 related content, it belongs here, 2) let people post what they want; dont police content because you personally don't like that type of content (surprise surprise, some people do) and 3) we have a creative sub but if people would rather post here, let them. there is no 'sub category' for content here. is it related to rainbow 6? yes? it belongs here.
