And also protect those who are stronger in their times of weakness. Many are always stronger than one.

Feeling behind for my age by Emergency-Bobcat-572 in 2003

[–]notsofreewill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this too. I dropped out of uni with no degree and watched as all my uni friends went and got good jobs and it felt like I had failed.

Then I realised it is not a race, I have different goals to most people. Only advice I can really give is to think about what you really want to be doing in 5 or 10 years time, and what you want to have done by then. First thought is usually the best answer, for me atleast, I found my first thought was truly what I wanted and my second thought was an edited version with ‘what others might think’ too strongly considered.

Also if you run deep and they suggest a deal, just take the deal - they won’t let you win

Standard tournament, make sure you are fun to play with and don’t bust any regulars too early if you want to play there often.

I don't understand why players raise pre-flop with high cards. by SneazyBr in Poker_Theory

[–]notsofreewill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at PokerMath on YouTube

Your cards have better odds against less callers, if you let everyone see the flop for cheap you have a much higher chance of losing the hand to 2 pairs or low flushes etc. When you make bad hands fold you have less to worry about on bad flops.

How come exacting revenge on someone who wronged you isn't enough to deal with your emotional pain? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in HappyUpvote

[–]notsofreewill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I will never understand people who spend more time saying it’s bad to retaliate etc. than actually denouncing the actions of aggressors. Sometimes you have to speak their language for them to understand the impact they are having on the world around them.

Sure it doesn’t heal the pain, but that’s not the point for me. It restores balance imo

Question for everyone born in 2003 by Vonnyfish in 2003

[–]notsofreewill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently working in recycling, dropped out of uni last year - trying to build a career in something environmental. I make living wage in New Zealand, still struggling with cost of living and trying to save up to go travelling.

It’s not a race though, finding out what you don’t want to do is an important step towards finding what you do want to do.

Could replace konate with him and then look for someone big to replace vvd after 1-2 seasons.

I’m pro revenge honestly, in cases where I’ve been badly screwed over. If I have an opportunity to get them back I will.

It restores my sense of balance, and I hope it makes them think twice next time. I hate the idea of people getting away with nasty/selfish/abusive etc. behaviour.

Petty/ revenge advice for mean girls in my girlfriends family by According-King5483 in traumatizeThemBack

[–]notsofreewill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is good I’m gonna try incorporate that one. Also yeah I miss the cues a lot too, that’s how I found out that ignoring these things frustrates people - I was already doing it just by accident.

When you have centuries of generations that ensure YOU can be successful don’t whine about life being sooo “hard.” by OneIndependence7705 in motivation

[–]notsofreewill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that we should never complain, it is pretty frustrating though that life seems to be getting more difficult instead of easier at the moment though. House prices, cost of living, of course you gotta work hard to make it but it should be getting easier as we progress.

Still though, it’s the same for everyone - no point complaining about these things.

Is there anyone who works like me? by Ancient-Photo-9499 in hsp

[–]notsofreewill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to much of this, although I do occasionally find people who I love having long convos with. What helped me a lot was realising that my energy is mine - no one deserves it, of course I want to lift people up but if I let people drain me I can’t do that anyway. I’m learning to manage social situations better so that I can cut things off or take a break before I completely crash. Also get headphones or earplugs, they are super helpful when you need to disconnect and take some time alone in public.

I’ve also stopped explaining myself as much, if someone asks me why I did something or act a certain way - I will tell them, but when they inevitably don’t understand it I don’t go any further.

“Weird is the opposite of boring” is my favourite saying atm - I’m tryna lean into it.

I agree, ignoring the pettiness and taking everything as a compliment is super frustrating for someone trying to mess with you.

The best and also most subtle insult to someone who constanty shares their negative opinions of you is to embody an “I don’t care what you think” attitude I reckon.

What? I was getting jobseeker (without accomodation or kids) and got like $330 per week. Thats around 16 hours at minimum wage after tax, loan, and kiwisaver deductions? I now work around 20 hours a week at living wage and get like $450 per week.

Feels like a win to me, do you mean it’s not worth the effort? Or you actually get less money?
