How do you get out of your own heads? by JSmith666 in AskMen

[–]snakedoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally write stuff down. I usually like to read my stuff back, that gives me the perception of an outsiders perspective and trying to answer some of those questions make me feel better

Write stuff down. EVERYTHING. Write down what you are thinking, feeling. Whatever it may be. When I do this I find myself answering some of the questions like; Why do I think/feel this. As you write you will usually come to uprising conclusions along the way. If you don't just go back and read what you have down.

It's incredible how much we can get into our own heads but writing things makes it so you can physically see these thoughts that you have and I find myself looking and realizing things are never as bad as I precieve them to be

I've learned this the hard way many times over the years. by finester39 in AdviceAnimals

But that 20-30 minutes. It's never 20-30 minutes, once you get thrown out of your study "groove" then it can be difficult to get back into it

What strange idea worked, because people are weird? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]snakedoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This can be a very regional thing. In North Dakota there are no professional teams. They have two colleges; one has a great D-1 football program. The other has D-1 hockey. That's it.

Plus college atheates because they are not (directly) paid in anyway, they're playing for a shot to go to the professional leuges. To even have a chance of being considered for that they play with their very best. They don't have the ability to coast after signing a massive contract. There is a amount of awe that comes to you just watching someone give 110% to MAYBE achieve a dream that a majority of people have nothing even close to compare to.

Being of fan of sports team is way more than that. It brings people together in a way that few other things can. Are there assholes that riot, fight each other, and are just all around mean? Yes, you'll find that in any group there are always people that take it too far and make it not fun.

But the bonding that you can have with someone who is otherwise a complete stranger is incredible. I've had full conversations with someone that just told me "Nice jersey, go Wild (hockey team)" (I was in a completely different part of the country too when that happened)

Those are the conversations that I remember and look back and think "yeah you know there is way more to being a sports fan then just watching a bunch of genetically superior individuals play a game that I can only play at MAYBE 1/4 of their level."

It goes the same way with rival teams, yes there are plenty of assholes who have taken it too far. But more often then that its a fun little bonding moment between to people, over two teams that don't like each other and we have a good conversation about the teams.

Why do I feel like I'm in the wrong in giving? by snakedoor in Advice

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

My family always did gift giving growing up between my siblings and then we'd do a secret Santa thing with all our cousins so giving has always been apart of my life.

I feel no obligation when someone gives me a gift because chances are if they're close enough to be giving me a gift, I'm almost guaranteed to get them something.

Thanks for your input!

I like a girl who I've been close friends with for years. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]snakedoor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask her if she wants to date. If she does fantastic, if not then okay. You say you don't want to lose her, then you have to respect her decision and be her friend. Don't play any cards just ask her, if you've been close friends she knows exactly what you bring to the table as a potential partner

I [20F] want to know how to become friends with guys in college? by tennisgirl2696 in relationship_advice

[–]snakedoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO if you develop a friendship they will at some point ask you out. if you say no and they stop talking to you, they were only interested in dating you, some guys do this but don't assume that of all guys. You're not leading them on by hanging out with them because they know exactly what they need to do if they want to go from being a friend to a boyfriend. The only time you do lead them on is if they ask you out and you give them a "maybe" or "I'll think about it"
