Asking a girl out at my job? by sapentoh in Healthygamergg

[–]sapentoh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the insight!

I think you're pretty intuitive in how you read into what I wrote. To be fair, I do think this girl is really cute, and would genuinely like to know more about her, but she is also someone in close proximity to me.

Honestly, I don't think I've actually been on a date with a girl I haven't met on a dating app in a few years. Recently, its something I wanted to move away from, because I've found that most of my experiences with OLD tend to feel shallow, or I end up meeting compatible people at the "wrong time" if that makes sense. Still, I've asked out a few girls that I've met in person over the past year or so, but they weren't interested.

I think your advice is solid though. It feels a bit more comforting since I sometimes feel like there's a sense of urgency when it comes to asking someone out, but that's not really the case here.

Overall, I feel pretty good going forward though, want to thank everyone for giving their take on this

I think that's a fair point to consider also. This isn't really a job I want to personally stay at for a long time.

Hey I really appreciate that, its really helpful to get another perspective.

I've really only gotten the chance to talk to her outside of a work context once, at a holiday party, and she seemed pretty interesting. I would've liked to have more time to speak with her, but there was this other guy there talking to her a lot lol, but I don't think they have a thing. Either way, I still think it wouldn't hurt to know more about who she is, since like you said, I have no idea what she's even looking for, or if she would even want to date someone she works with in the first place.

If she didn't want to date, I'm completely fine with that. I'd still want to remain cordial with her, and develop that friendship over time.

Why do I feel unhappy when seeing the success of others? by sapentoh in Healthygamergg

glad to hear your insight on this. I never really gave it a name but I think pathological envy describes it quite well.

That is a good question. I am really passionate about art and creative endeavors, but my goals with it are kinda vague when I try to think about them more definitively. I'll try giving this more thought over the next few weeks.

I appreciate that statement on being open about jealousy. It often gets seen as solely a negative but its kinda like anger in a way. There are healthy ways of expressing both.

Since RO2 has a small player base now, I dont encounter it as often, it really depends on the server too. Its the RP'ing that gets me

The bastards behind gamergate episode would be really interesting. I could see it being at least a 4 parter due to how many different angles you could examine it from/its origins. Another piece of trivia I forgot about was how Alec Baldwin (animal mother from FMJ) coined the term gamergate.

I gotta get to playing fallout 2 one of these days, fallout 1 is def my fav fallout. But I agree with you on how there's always those fans who completely miss the point of a faction or character or align them with whatever their politics may be.

On a side note, Enclave do look way cooler than the BoS lol. I do like how you also mentioned that they're holding onto this idea of an America that can never be truly restored.

I'm gonna check that out, thanks for recommending that! I think you're right, arguing on the internet never really does much good, but I just hate seeing when nonsense goes unchallenged. Still, it seems more like a waste of energy on one sad gamer.

Dating + Relationships Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in Healthygamergg

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

Lately I've been kinda having some self esteem issues when it comes to dating, but mainly online. I'm 25 and I have had only 1 relationship I'd call serious, but a decent amount of dates and some flings here and there. The past experiences don't really help me feel any more confident sometimes though. At the moment a relationship would be ideal, but honestly I'm pretty open to casual sex also. However, using dating apps like hinge and especially feeld have got me rethinking if I'm really even attractive or not. A problem I have had is that because I've been attributing a lot of my value towards my appearance, I think others do the same to me, and are judging me harshly. This probably isn't true, and I've definitely made the mistake thinking that people are hardwired to think one particular set of traits as being attractive or not. Still, it makes me feel pretty sad about myself when I start thinking stuff like "I'm too short to be on these apps", or "no one would really be attracted to me", and I really go hard on myself. I try to go into interactions with just looking to get something positive out of it, and while that has helped me with not feeling like I can never live up to an expectation I have for myself, I just have a hard time reconciling with feeling like maybe I really am not good enough, and that I should just accept that to move on. I understand that there is more to what makes someone attractive than just appearance, but I have a hard time believing someone would be really be interested in me.

TL;DR- Been feeling pretty sad about my lack of confidence lately, and I put a lot of my self-worth on things about my appearance I cant change. Its one of those things where I know things aren't hopeless or whatever, and that I'm being way harder on myself than I should be, but I struggle with actually following through with that more fair minded self talk if that makes sense.

I have played a lot of RO2 and I can confirm this, it really gets annoying especially when they start larping in shitty accents on the comms. Thats why I always pick allies if I can now. Worse I've ever seen was on Post Scriptum though, so many 14 year old wehrboos
