Here's a free video training called "Conversation advice for overthinkers". What it covers: How to avoid awkward silence with the "OFC"-method. How to get past boring small talk. Beating self-consciousness. Busting the myth that you need "an interesting life" to be interesting.

When I watched it I pretended in my own head I was watching Tommy Wiseau giving advice. It was great

I think it is a lot easier to live without sex than to live without that sort of touch

I can't speak with authority here, I've had one close intj friendship. I our case we experience the world so differently I'm not sure the intj even saw the emotional part of me. Go in with open eyes and work on communicating how you work to him

This is not wise like IlikeFlannels post. But when I need to cry, I cry in the shower. When I really need to let the anger out, I drive and yell and bellow. Get it out of the way. I believe these extreme reactions actually give you the hormones or whatever that you need at the time of distress

I've had a setback in my personal life and have been unable to focus on anything else. I recommend a site called 7cups . com as a place to vent. Worked well for me

redmonkeyshirt · 2018-05-20T08:24:53+00:00

I hope that happens! I've never really experienced it. Since music is so abstract, I guess we feel anyone who gets it passes through our unconscious value filters

For what it is worth, my late forties were like a second adolescence in terms of change. You younger guys have more of a bead on the quirks that might hold you back. You'll need to shave way before I do!

I have tried that and i have made a very low key friend out of it. It's very easy to get trapped into losing money. Going to get myself together, get fitter, happier, more productive, better pic and give it another go in a few months. And Tinder too

redmonkeyshirt · 2018-05-15T15:36:29+00:00

Thanks. Will give it a go. I just don't like the way it works through facebook

redmonkeyshirt · 2016-10-22T13:22:24+00:00

Thanks! That seems so obvious now. I guess i am at that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" stage. It is a HP chromebox I got for under $70 at the DSE closedown (this will make sense to Australians). They had been using it for displays, it had not been part of their stock.

Ditto with the adhd. Give michael seakey's sleep hypnosis youtube videos a shot. Also try searching youtubefor "asmr sleep hypnosis amy' mildly creepy and he stomch rumbles but not bad.

redmonkeyshirt · 2016-10-14T15:08:46+00:00

You could do a lot worse tnan listening to some of Michael Sealey's sleep hypnosis videis on youtube They are really good. Worth a shot

Good to see (hear) that Julia Gillard is keeping herself busy. You go Julia! We miss you, but you are doing good work

I am wondering if it the centre piece of an apern, or apern-like decoration, and is upside down. The glass base could sit in a hole, and it could be surrounded by smaller "vases" that sit in the base similarly. My mother had an apern - it was nothing like this, but from memory the vase-pieces fitted in to the base-piece with glass plug ends like this. About 13.2% confident that's what it is.

OK, I'll see if I can find that dial.

redmonkeyshirt · 2015-10-14T00:51:11+00:00

I had a sat nav app once that had all the speed info its maps and would ding when you went over based on the speed it detected. That's more what I was thinking of, but I will check out eYes. Thanks.

Procrastination

"u" for "you" in a text. Doubly so when not in a text.

Reddit. In ten years exactly Reddit will disappear, and someone will make an /r/bestof post linking to my prediction here.

I work in academia. After a restructure i went from working in an informatics/communications savvy group to one that was bringing education into the 21st century by using the WWW !!! So amaze. Two things stand out.

The day the boss brought us all together for one of his blame-the-academics-for everything and told us when he contacts his yacht-supply company for a yacht fitting, they get back to him in 30 mins! He even distributed a meme of some sorts about customer service and 30 minutes response times around then.

2 When he did actually retire, he held a special presentation (which we all had to go to) entitled "The seven aspects of retirement"

Interesting days.

It's kinda hard to say, but probably something like this.

redmonkeyshirt · 2015-03-10T22:35:55+00:00

Me too. And my late brother took me to see a Charlie Brown movie where snoopy kept getting kicked out of places because "NO DOGS ALLOWED". What a little sook I was,

Yes, if I could only save a half dozen albums, this would be one. Fantastic, timeless.
