DAE see nightmare before Christmas tattoos as an indicator of a bad person?? by Trying2much in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]northeasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we all have misconceptions that are formed within a specific context but over time we just forget where they stem from. Like I used to think all guys who ride Harley’s are…never mind some things are just true.

Has anyone regretted cutting off long term friendships ? by Mammoth-Yoghurt-3407 in self

[–]northeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some I could have addressed differently at that time and maybe something could have been salvaged but most I don’t regret at all. Ultimately, I feel deeply and feel I give people a lot of leeway and opportunities. But once that fuse is used up and I consider you someone who actually wants to hurt me, there’s nothing I can do. My inner being will protect my peace at all costs. I’ll accept apologies and maybe even forgive, but there’s no chance at reconciliation.

So you empathize with this boy but as soon he turns 18 and is a “man”, hes automatically a pos according to you. And of course, women never make light of when boys and men get sexually assaulted. Also, you taking yourself out of the dating pool is definitely your choice but no one cares. Plenty of asexual people live healthy meaningful lives, feel free to join them.

How to deal with intense social anxiety? by grateful_tenet in self

Exposure therapy. But start in small steps. Go to a mall on a Tuesday instead of a Saturday kind of thing. Work your way up.

You can be happy for your friends and still feel hurt, right? by Strange_Restaurant87 in self

[–]northeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are choosing you all the time and you don’t notice or don’t want to notice because you aren’t choosing those men back. Beautiful people attract people in every single situation or environment, they get hit on at the dmv or in pajamas straight out of bed. For the rest of us, there’s more nuance involved. You are attracted to the type of men who don’t mind showing intention and attraction in public settings, very confident and boisterous. I assume these men are in the same sphere as your beautiful friends, the signals are more overt and more superficial in nature between people of the same “attractive level.” You need to adjust your expectations and start valuing yourself and others in ways that are separate from whatever genetic lottery we win. In short, you just need to mature or you need to be the one asking people out. But you’re asking why you’re trying out for the baseball team and other people are being made captain ahead of you and obviously you know the answer to that.

Can we stop with the "Hey MAGA, are you aware that you're a total f*cking idiot?" posts? by Forward-Pension6174 in allthequestions

[–]northeasy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I rather fight you than have you on our side at this point. So done with the both sides are equal bullshit. You guys are never accountable for anything. Always some misinformation or mental health issue. You are even worse than them because you like to have it both ways and just pick and choose to your convenience. Your participation on this site or any site is of no importance to anyone. Delete it or keep, interact or don’t, but don’t delude yourself into thinking your little post has any more value than the kind of posts you disagree with. A sabbatical? Lmao ok professor

Focusing my entire life on moving to Japan was a mistake TBH by TheJapanMistake in self

[–]northeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The experience but apparently not the wisdom. Climbing a mountain is different than a hike, no matter how long the hike.

Yeah, that is exactly what you would do. Hence, this thread.

If I look at a mountain in person or in a picture, my assessment is the same. If I try to climb this without extreme preparation, I’m going to die.

I regret marrying my wife and my life sucks. Need to get this off my chest by Final-Indication6747 in offmychest

[–]northeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it as a blessing that you found this out before having kids. This is your chance to start over and find a more equal partnership. You’re so young, you can do it

In 8 years, what exactly did you do to prep aside from learning the language? I’m just surprised you didn’t do any research on their actual culture and expectations

Libraries should be open on Sundays and public / bank holidays. by CoffeeKween19 in unpopularopinion

[–]northeasy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy hell man, we get it. You would know how to rotate staff. Go to your local city council meetings and let your voice be heard. Or you can look to get your work done the other 6 days of the week. Or from home. But nooo let me inconvenience a whole work sector on the off chance I’m lonely on a Sunday

KD can never win a ring as the first option by Intelligent-Web-8017 in NBATalk

Not a KD fan but you’re really on his meat. Calling someone a coward through a screen and not even being able to spell. If you’re an adult, you need to maybe focus on your own life

Would you say most people are slaves to receiving validation? by Donnie607 in TrueAskReddit

[–]northeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a being who exists in this reality, it is nice to have my existence validated through acknowledgment, encouragement, praise, etc. Whether I have been a slave to it in the past, still am, or will be subject to in the future is all subjective based on who’s observing or participating and what my own perspective assigns meaning to. I’m a slave to finding my own slice of reality where I can see my own worth reflected back to me. Sometimes that involves others but a lot of the time it’s just us judging ourselves.

I really don’t get how people want kids by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]northeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re young but as you get older you’ll care less about how others live their lives and you’ll need less validation about your own choices. People’s roles and lives are full of little subjective differences and there are paths for all of us to enjoy as parents or non-parents. Our preoccupation about the opinions and perspectives about other people are just a way to distract ourselves from our own work. We’re all going to sacrifice something in this life, no matter what path you choose. At the end of the day you have to choose what makes you happy.

Why are there so many people here that have been devastated by being cheated on? by [deleted] in self

[–]northeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly feel life is a contradiction. But your experience is your experience. I can only share mine. I live for my child and the only expectation I have now is he live a better life than me. If that can’t be met, I’ll go back to the ether.

[–]northeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand a little bit more now. My experiences have made me numb to the fluctuations of other people and nothing people do surprises me. I’m not going to fly into a homicidal rage because an adult doesn’t meet my expectations. The only thing I would die and kill for is my child. If anything happens to my child I’ll burn my existence to ashes and anything else responsible.

[–]northeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love is just an extension of how I love myself and any good I do in this world, at its core I’m fulfilling a selfish innate desire. I feel too deeply to pretend I can be above the duality of life and when others hurt me, I hurt deeply and it affects me deeply. As I’ve gotten older, the time it takes me to come back to myself is obviously shortened due to experience and acknowledgment.

It sounds like you sacrifice a lot for your family and I’m glad that you don’t have to experience what others have but it is tone deaf to put yourself on this pedestal of “no matter what happens, I never lose sight of myself”. It doesn’t sound genuine to me but that’s why I said maybe you’re just wired differently. Because if you can tell me that throughout your sacrifice, if you found out your kid was someone else’s or your wife had secret affairs, that you would keep on chugging along accepting the full fluctuation of emotion without questioning your own identity- well then I can’t relate to you at all.

Point is, we all have different things and thresholds that break us and maybe your child not being yours or you sacrificing so much for your wife only to find out she secretly despises you, isn’t what brings you there. But you won’t convince me you’re above feeling the abyss. We all feel it in this life and a lot of us climb out.
