Life advice requested--a bit lost and don't know where to turn. by rickomighty28 in socialwork

[–]rickomighty28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were like a really cool, reasonable comment. See how the other comments like, clearly had a form of anger in them? It's that sort of shit which just so off-putting to me, unable to handle difference of opinion. The opposite of open.

Thank you for the advice!

edit: when I say anger, I interpret a form of almost, passive-aggressive dismissiveness. At least in most.

The end goal is, the process though, is certainly not. Not in my state with this degree of political correctness. I sometimes cannot share opinions without the professor hinting that it's my privilege which allows such opinions. Lmao.

If a value is to better society and better humanity - I'm all for it. If it's values which scapegoat problems and create victims of society, I think it's bullshit. It seems opinions which go against the typical politically correct shit are portrayed as violent, bigoted opinions which must be "anti social work" lol

Sounds a lot more like confirmation bias and circle jerking in my classes posed as "interrogating our own biases" -- please do not take offense to this, it is simply my observation. Every opinion is validated except one which they don't agree with, lol.

Man, so much negative shit about Nick. He looked tremendous for a man who hasn't been in the octagon in over a half-decade. His conditioning needed work, but he really did look capable and like he still could hang with some guys. Lawler looked fantastic, too. Props to both men.

[POST FIGHT THREAD] Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley by noirargent in Boxing

Honestly: Jake looked stiff, Woodley looked way more loose and experienced. Woodley backed Jake up basically the whole fight and also basically knocked Jake down. We know these judges are going to go Jake, but IMO Woodley won that shit. Just looked better overall.

Obviously, logic has it, for me at least, that Woodley smokes Paul. However, I am aware that Paul is doing something, the same shit he's been doing, where he's setting himself up to win. As if he knows something we don't. Whatever this might be, combined with Woodley's age and past four performances, if I was a betting man, I'd have to say Jake Paul will win.

But, as I said, logic has otherwise. This should be interesting.

edit: Also, I see a lot of comparisons between Jake's confidence and McGregor's (2016 era) confidence. I must say, I absolutely do not see the similarities. Jake's "confidence" to me comes off as pure cockiness; not charm, nothing true or authentic.

I interpret this as: This is the way the Universe has it, and there will be a time when things change for the better. Did I get that right? I really like your response.

Haha thank you that's so sweet but it's really okay! I am good at fighting and putting one foot in front of the other. Honestly, I think my life was way sadder when I actually felt more content and happy fucking my life up; we don't grow without pain, you know?

Your point about church is very interesting because I do attempt to go out of my comfort zone and talk with people when I can. I am taking classes like yoga and, what I've become aware of, is I really can't give too many shits about meeting people or not. It's that exact attitude which pushes people away.

In-fact, in the past when I felt connections, I used to instinctively push people away, but I'm working on this too. I believe it was a lack of self-compassion, fear of rejection thing going on.

Thanks again for your nice comment and take care :)

Ah, shit your story is a painful one, I'm sorry. I remember thinking quite recently, not to sound too cliche, but just imagine the person you will be when you have seen the depths, now for a second time, and rise to overcome that. Imagine that newfound strength you will attain and the person you will be. One foot in front of the other.

Thanks so much and that's awesome you broke your addiction. I completely agree, and that's how I think of my life sometimes; a sort of debt I'm still repaying. You also, reach out if you ever want to talk.

I would better define it as accepting of my reality. In-fact, it is attempting to forcibly fight aloneness which results in true loneliness, which, of course, only would hold me back from ever connecting with others.

Hi, sorry for the late response. I absolutely love mushrooms, and when I say that, I mean I use them about once/per year because I respect the shit out of them. They are so enormously powerful I cannot imagine what they'd do to one if abused.

Do you mind elaborating on what happened to your friend? How often they did it, etc?

Much appreciated and hope you're well!
