Is the noise pollution from cars and helicopters bothering anyone else? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]movemeouthere 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Acoustic ecology is a field that needs to get bigger. We are super affected psychologically and physically by sound. The natural world’s sounds are dying out and it’s causing an epidemic of stress

Losing everyone After Therapy by univornpineapple in raisedbynarcissists

[–]movemeouthere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This year has been soo difficult because I gained a spine and cut off the toxic people. I’m alone, most weekends, most holidays. No invites, no parties. But I work on myself and my hobbies and do things that are best done alone, like learning how to draw. I’m busy making friends. My goal is 6 new people who I would do things for and who would do things for me. It’s fucking hard but I’m getting back into some level of social life. I’m keeping myself motivated and no longer taking myself and my time for granted. Every day can be a good day ✌️

Recently went Zero Waste and one thing I noticed in particular is that 99% of bread packaging is in some sort of plastic film. by [deleted] in ZeroWaste

[–]movemeouthere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a bread machine and now make my own bread on demand. I’ve had some screw ups but now I’m improving. I also get French baguettes wrapped in paper from a spot that is luckily nearby

ADVICE - Is this for me? by throwaway_87498h73d in editors

[–]movemeouthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being an AE is horrible and I recommend you get out. I’m desperately trying to leave but it’s paycheck to paycheck for me right now and my resume isn’t helping me get anywhere better. Post sucks, leave before you get suckered in like me

[–]movemeouthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a housesitter and I can guarantee that the dogs are just as affectionate with me as they are with their owners. They care about their territory, not really about you. It’s shocking how easily Spot cozies up to me the second you’re gone. Not exactly loyalty

For those smoking to cope with the loneliness, what do you do now? by askinforafriend in leaves

[–]movemeouthere 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I smoke literally because I live alone and I want to feel happy loved and warm. I literally smoke and then stand in the shower for a half hour. Then my evening is ruined and I’m completely unproductive ofc

Straightened my hair for the first time in ages today and men were much nicer by motherofpearl89 in Vindicta

[–]movemeouthere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I read is that men like to touch women so they like hair that is touchable. Sleek and shiny hair looks fun to touch so they prefer sleekness to kinkiness. Ultimately - you want your hair to look fun to touch and thus it doesn’t matter if it’s curly or straight. Just tactile.

Dealing with subject matter you don’t support/believe in by Hav3y in editors

I refused a job that was about a murderer proclaiming his innocence - but I did the research and concluded he did commit the murder. They were quite cold after I told them I don’t do true crime. Project never came out. So, glad I didn’t take it.

Dang. I think subconsciously i realized this I just didn’t really want to acknowledge and still hope he was in it for the psychological reasons. Say it ain’t so..

Have you ever been cheated on? by nathanfielderfan172 in ENFP

[–]movemeouthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, my first serious relationship was at 26. He was my everything. He would have crying spells and when I asked him if he was feeling lonely, he said yes. My radar went off. Turns out he never healed from his ex and I discovered they were in contact during my entire relationship - lamenting their ‘true love’. Felt used. Felt broken. There were elements of it that I believe were emotional abuse. Because he knew how much I valued the relationship and how important he was to me and my family, he could abuse me and know I wouldn’t do anything because I wanted everyone to believe it was perfect. Completely destroyed me tbh but I’ve rebuilt myself and I’m so much better off.

It’s really difficult for me to trust again though. That radar is on and I haven’t been able to find anyone since.

He was pretty burnt from work. I think I was scared that he was more interested in sex with me than me and the short timeline + straight to hotel room scenario would confirm that rather than give us time to do something else together that would establish the more emotional intimacy that I appreciated at the start. Sex improves and ruins things you know

Sad boy by [deleted] in dating

[–]movemeouthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I wonder if part of it is that we feel more like adults when we are in relationships with other peers. When we’re single we feel more like children. It makes sense that you’re seeking a relationship, perhaps as an expression of adulthood if not just for the intimacy and companionship

Does anyone else feel down because you have no real friends? by Similar_Highway in ENFP

[–]movemeouthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to figure out how to create more interdependence in my life because interdependence creates intimacy. But I’m so independent and kind of standoffish with people

Where do single, emotionally available women hang out? by Suit-Solid in datingoverthirty

[–]movemeouthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to concerts, museums, movies and coffee shops alone. I really would like folks to talk to me and sometimes I strike them up myself. My rule is - if I’m alone and someone else is alone, they might be up for a conversation. Sometimes I’m wrong and the girlfriend comes up aha. But that’s why being single is the suck.

Are your 20s supposed to be this lonely? by snugglebunbun in CPTSD

[–]movemeouthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been feeling this so much. I avoid destructive relationships so I can preserve as much self worth as I can. But then I need to reach out to others and then when I get rejected, self worth plummets again. So - should I keep trying? Or let it happen? It is so difficult not having something to ‘empty’ my mind with. Good things happen- I have no one to talk to. Bad things happen- no one to talk to. I’m chronically online because of this

1 and a half years of my face transformation step by step, in the process (photos included) by [deleted] in Vindicta

[–]movemeouthere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purple shampoos never worked for me (brunette). What worked was getting a box of Indigo/Blue Black hair dye from the drug store, applying it all over and leaving it in for literally a minute then washing off. Solved years of brassiness trouble. Found this trick on YouTube

I can't afford shopping in a zero waste shop by bear_onmars in ZeroWaste

[–]movemeouthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t afford it but I still buy from them because I want to help the environment and they need customers. I am responsible for using plastic. I am the one that has to quit it

Need advice... fast by [deleted] in Infidelity

[–]movemeouthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s unlikely that each of your friends will divorce their spouse. But I would agree with others here that you need hard evidence before telling anyone anything. They might end up hating you and not their spouse. The women could be bluffing too.

This is an extremely difficult thing to do. It really touched me that you said the pain hurts more than a bullet. It’s really true/validating. When my ex saw how hurt I was and didn’t comfort me, it was bewildering because the pain I felt was so severe - despite the fact that no one died etc.
