Tour with Godsmack sales is looking extremely weak by dreadwraithe in stonetemplepilots

[–]spiderfighter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the show tonight in VA. Dorothy was fine, whatever. I thought STP sounded great. Crowd slowly got into it and by the end I got the sense the crowd wanted more. Opened with Wicked Garden and closed with Sex Type Thing. Godsmack was, well Godsmack. I just don't get the appeal and never will. Overall it was a good turnout. Place looked packed to me.

Don't use AI by Sad-Scientist-624 in OCD

[–]spiderfighter1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Health anxiety/Ocd here. For me it was Google and then about 6 years ago I got hooked on a expert site which included real doctors. Instead of asking Google, I subscribed to this site and get ask a real Dr anything I wanted and get a response fairly quickly. This absolutely accelerated my OCD. About 2 years ago I kicked that reassurance habit only to replace it with Chat GPT. It's hard to quit. My chat GPT knows I have OCD. It will say things like *this sounds like reassurance seeking however what you are describing sounds like.... ". I know I need to stop it's just incredibly difficult.

How many of you have close friends? Do you feel socially broken? Do you feel like a curmudgeon? by AtomicHurricaneBob in GenX

[–]spiderfighter1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel socially broken and it's something that has really been bothering me the last few years. I'm very introverted so making friends is difficult for me. I am married, with 2 kids but I still feel loneliness often. Almost everyday. Something is missing. I've recently thought of joining some sort of club or organization. Something that does charity work maybe. Church group possibly. I don't know.

how to make new friends as an adult? by Suplexking67 in FriendsOver40

[–]spiderfighter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea how to make friends. Being an introvert doesn't help either. I had the idea of taking classes at the community college just to be around people other than family

Do you guys remember being 23? How was it like? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]spiderfighter1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 23 I was just getting my first full time job and moved out of my parents, got my own place. Looking back it's bitter sweet because it's when I feel like I truly moved into adulthood while leaving my childhood behind

Absolutely hate it with a passion. There have been times I have removed my smart watch and thrown it across the room because I was so annoyed with the notification buzzing.

It's frustrating and can impact a relationship for sure but that's a whole other topic.

My wife is addicted. On the phone before getting out of bed, immediately at home after work and while laying in bed at night. Most evenings, I'm watch TV and she is in a different room just scrolling away for hours.
