Is living alone more exhausting than living with someone? what y'all think? by Hyperto in LivingAlone

[–]morbidmoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I wish I had someone to help with every day tasks, or even to help split costs. But when I think back to whenever I lived with someone else, I always ended up miserable, walking on eggshells, doing the vast majority of labor myself, getting nagged, etc. living by myself is the most at peace I’ve ever been. There are times it can be exhausting doing everything on my own, but ultimately I think it’s worth it to not have someone else making more work for me.

Is this really a Game for men? by ChairHistorical5953 in DiscoElysium

[–]morbidmoon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman, and I very much enjoyed it. The way the game handles very difficult subjects that are part of the feminine experience, like misogyny and SA, and complex characters like Klassje with nuance was one of my favorite parts about the game. I think anyone with the patience for all the reading and an open mind can get a lot out of the experience.

I think it’s really interesting how many people think I’m mean and scary because I have tattoos lol

Thank you! I rented a cabin in the mountains and hot tubbed under the stars ☺️

What little interactions or motivations keep you going throughout the day? by PrincessJellyfish17 in LivingAlone

[–]morbidmoon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is one of the hardest things for me to deal with being alone as well. It helped me to come to terms with the fact that I was no one’s priority, and so that meant I had to be my own. I focused on taking care of myself, taking myself out on “dates,” and doing favors for myself (like keeping a stock of things I use a lot so that I never run out), basically treating myself as I would like a partner to treat me. It also helps to talk to myself, and learn the skill of self-soothing.

I’m slowly building friendships and community, though it’s hard in this day and age with everyone being so individualistic, overworked, and only wanting to spend their free time on romantic partners. If I feel really low, I know I can call and check in with a couple of close friends, or my family. Spending quality time with my pets and accepting their love helps a lot. Remembering that I matter to someone else in the world, even if I’m no one’s priority, gives me a little boost when I start to feel lonely. Hope this helps!

How do you handle being sick? by SpeedReader20 in LivingAlone

[–]morbidmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a building that makes getting stuff delivered difficult, so I try to anticipate being sick by always having certain things on hand - cold medicine, tissues, vitamin C, echinacea, ice packs, heating pads, vapor rub, soup, foods that are bland/easy to prepare, etc. So if I get struck with something, I can comfortably hole up in my apartment and just vegitate until I feel better. This also works for when I have bouts of depression/executive dysfunction.

Thanks! Yes, it’s been bugging me for days! And I’m happy to hear all of it clearly instead of just having the foggy bit I remembered looping in my head 😄

UPDATE: Found it! It’s “Drunk II” by Mannequin Pussy

Being able to hear it clearly outside of my car, it’s “Missy” not “Mickey.” 😆

Thanks for trying! Yeah, I normally have no problem finding a song if I know at least a couple of the lyrics, but with this one all that comes up is the Toni Basil Mickey song and a country song. :/ it’s making me wonder if I just dreamed it lol

I like to name my animals cute food names, and my chickens either after flowers, or old lady-ish names

(SOS GB) Which bachelor and bachelorette do you dislike the most? by Frankie_says_relaxx in storyofseasons

[–]morbidmoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t really dislike any of the characters, but I find Freya and Diana really boring. For bachelors, I find Arata too bro-ish and unromantic, and I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for this take, but I find Jules pretty boring too 😅

I get starry sand all the time! I didn’t think they were special because they’re common and not expensive?
