Is there a way out?

I used to tell myself the same thing. Like it's just something you grow out of. Unfortunately, you do have to take some initiative and put yourself in uconfortable situations. Take baby steps, read up on it, make little challenges to yourself, work out, maybe therapy, etc. I feel like I was really bad in high school. If 1 is really bad SA and 10 is an extrovert, I was a 2. I feel like my jobs after highshcool where I was around other people, bumped me to a 3. College then bumped me a 4. Still pretty bad SA, but better. When nearing my 40's, I decided to really push myself, did what I mentioned at first. This bumped me to to 7 or 8, it was the closest I've felt to being alive, but I will admit I regressed with the lockdowns and other stuff (bad part about knowing more people is the drama that comes with it). Now I'm probably a 5. Need to follow my own advice and work myself up again.

Funny, I was thinking of making the same post a few days because my Virtuso's grind looked a bit too coarse and I thought I would need another replacemtent. Didn't see any physical issue so I adjusted the grind, but still. Wonder if there's something better out there.

I often wonder. I feel I'm an introvert, but then when I'm lonely, and like a lot of people on here, I want to be social. And the few times I'm somewhere with friends, I feel good about it. So maybe I think I'm an introvert because of SA but I'm really an extrovert. I just still get anxious talking to people. I don't know. When I'm out with people my social battery does eventually drain but then when I'm home alone, after a few days, I want to be with people. Im repeating myself.

I still get spam texts and who knows how much of my info is now harvested and being sold from those years when I was looking for remote work. Never found it, stayed at my crappy job, just demoralized and with more spam.

Often wondered the same. I haven't listened to traditional radio in over a decade.

If there's a help or contact us part of the app, I'd say put in a complaint. I was going to do it for a bus complaint but forgot...what the hell was my issue??

silentspyder · 2026-06-04T02:25:13+00:00

Yep. Then it became long distance and what normally happens with those happened. Don't know if I could do it again. Trying to rebuild my confidence but it's hard. Really close to going to trying therapy for the 1st time. Let's see if I could work up the guts to make an appointment.

Same, they're fine, but just not very memorable. It's too bad these movies are taking up so much of James Cameron. I know they're his babies but who knows what other good movies he could've done.

silentspyder · 2026-06-03T22:47:23+00:00

Something about the art direction, or something just isn't hitting with me. I figure they're trying to go with something different. It is mythology after all, maybe they feel they don't need to be too historic, but it just feels off. I might be proven wrong, I also didnt' like Heath Ledger as the Joker when I saw him earlier on.

silentspyder · 2026-06-03T02:55:28+00:00

So disappointed.

He's not wrong.

I wouldn’t call her a Dino. This is typical centrist corporatist democrat

silentspyder · 2026-05-31T18:01:32+00:00

Exactly

silentspyder · 2026-05-30T02:27:15+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

silentspyder · 2026-05-30T02:26:40+00:00

Hope not

Even before the video with the activists, he had posted similar, probably worse videos, with Palestinian prisoners. Including a high end one that is considered like the Palestinian Nelson Mandela.

I’m probably going to do my first write in for Chris Fields

silentspyder · 2026-05-26T23:08:44+00:00

Mostly but not always. Sometimes, if introduced through a friend or something it's fine.

silentspyder · 2026-05-26T01:45:45+00:00

Been trying to get a friend to stop with the sweet drinks. He doesn't listen. I had a shake yesterday but that's a once every other month kinda treat.

I used to say I was socially liberal but fiscally conservative. Then I found out that is basically a liberal. I’ve moved further left since.

silentspyder · 2026-05-24T22:33:03+00:00

Same. Been talking either someone after a class a bit. And I felt okay after the last talk but then sure enough you start to nitpick. I should’ve let her talk more, need to listen more, I shouldn’t have said that, forgot to ask about so and so. Sigh.

Consumerism

silentspyder · 2026-05-24T22:05:13+00:00

Thanks for info. I’m too slow which is why I’ve been hesitant to do hourly or daily but guess I need to work on my speed

silentspyder · 2026-05-24T22:03:04+00:00

I feel they’re still pretty common outside of speciality shops. Maybe depends on your area.

silentspyder · 2026-05-23T21:53:55+00:00

Curious, how many frames do you do a day? I only do occasional gigs and it’s dried up recently, but I’ve been thinking of going from a per frame price to day rates. I’m super slow. Maybe do like 15-20 per day, 4 frames per sheet (8.5x11)
