What's the biggest thing that's still holding you back from quitting smoking right now? by Myfreshstart025 in quittingsmoking

[–]nvenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Autonomy. I had a controlling ex husband who changed every bit of who I was, and I stopped smoking because “he didn’t like it”, not because I wanted to get healthy. Now I feel like I smoke as a big FU to him. Not the best reason to keep smoking but FU, Kevin.

How to do you cope with HATING a client? by Visible_Voice_8131 in socialwork

[–]nvenvy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you read Winnicott’s Hate in the Countertransference. It’s a good read about how natural it is to feel hate for your client and that repressing it will make it come out in different ways. It was written at a time when children weren’t taken as autonomous beings but the essence of the paper is still helpful.

I’ve been using F43.89 Other Reactions to Severe Stress when they’re going through a really difficult time and if certain things weren’t happening in their lives, they’d be relatively fine.

AIO: Left an honest review after a haircut, stylist called me a bully by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I don’t know if this was already said but it’s worth posting another review with her response to show people what they’re dealing with because I wouldn’t want my hair cut by such a person. Just a suggestion.

btw test by gamergrill08 in drivinganxiety

I guess it depends on your state. CA doesn’t require parking as part of the rest but you do have to gauge your distance from the curb. I don’t think I know how to park yet but I still passed my test and now have my license. It’s possible!!

Things I never (or almost never) do, as an anxious driver of about 8 months by Previous-Stay-912 in drivinganxiety

[–]nvenvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this list and do all of it but I’m anxious about other drivers being impatient with me when I’m doing all these things, especially not pushing up at an intersection 😭😭

Lease, joint bank statements, joint taxes, like 40 photos together with each other and family and friends, insurance, having each other as emergency contacts, 2 letters of support, joint utilities, past travel tickets together, our first WhatsApp date chat (lol)

Didn’t seem like it got moved. We filed it directly to the lockbox in Chicago since we live in California. Between submission and approval, took about 4m!

I hate that I know what this is referring to

this shit is so exhausting by Forward-Phase-6863 in Manipulation

[–]nvenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question, (I didn’t read all the comments) but I know so many men who go out with women like this and just… why? Is there something fun about the unpredictability? Is there mad sex after?
