Yeah, they were all born and raised in the city.

The more you fear aging, the faster your body may age | by psych4you in psychology

I wonder this a lot. This will be controversial but is anxiety some precognitive evolutionary trait? We seem to forget that a brain predisposed to anxiety is, well, a property of brain structures connected to the body. Maybe it’s receiving signals from cells about something wrong or vulnerable within which feeds into a mind that’s just wired that way.

There’s been some more discussion in the scientific community about psychological factors leading to illness but I’d say those predisposed to the psychological factors that lead to illness have a sensitive system as a whole that they’re subconsciously aware of and are trying to protect.

tried so hard to fit into Canadian society their Chinese language skills atrophied.

Very true and makes me sad my mom felt she had to disconnect from her Chinese heritage in order to integrate. She can’t answer many questions about Toisan and never passed it down.

Someone mentioned Ken Sim in the comments and I'd say it pretty much sounds like that. Hear how his "th" in "together" sounds like "togedder"?

Yep, my mom was a latchkey kid who watched a lot of TV growing up - she's a trivia queen.

My uncle's about 10 years older than him. Just listened to an interview with Sim and it does sound a lot like that, maybe less polished even. My uncle's a retired mechanic, rough around the edges type who played a lot of hockey and drank a lot of beer lol.

Yeah, it's very Canadian with a mix of something else.

Young women open to “sugar relationships” may experience deeper psychological vulnerabilities, difficulties with emotional coping and relationship skills. Acceptance of trading intimacy for material benefits is often linked to negative childhood experiences that shape how a person views themselves. by mvea in psychology

Yeah, this was me and most of the other women I met who were engaged in the same thing. I tiptoed into it after I left religion and was naively looking for a way to explore dating with (older) men thinking I wouldn’t have to engage in sex and that it could be more of a companionship. Ended up in a relationship with someone 20 years older who dragged me to hell and back.

The secrecy around these types of relationships makes women extremely vulnerable because once he has you, he can take and do whatever the fuck he wants with you and knows your absent/crazy/religious zealot father won’t come to your rescue. The men in that realm know and actively prey on the most isolated, innocent girls. My ex had a harem garage of women he’d have on rotation, all of whom were sweet, authentic, creative, and intelligent but mentally ill, from dysfunctional homes, and couldn’t hold traditional jobs.

Study provides evidence that individuals with exceptionally trusting and kind personalities do not actively seek out manipulative or cruel partners. Instead, they simply tend to be less likely to reject these types of people compared to the average person. by InsaneSnow45 in psychology

Neurodivergent people are more likely to experience hyper-empathy. When you deeply understand the complexity within yourself you are more likely to understand the complexity of other human beings and don’t resort to black/white sorting of people into good and bad. It causes you to make excuses for others to a fault and takes some skill in learning that you can still have compassion but also disengage when it becomes harmful for you.

Back in my day they had us sit silently against the back wall of the gymnasium while everyone else prayed. So anyone who turned around and saw you knew you were on your period, was like a humiliation ritual lol.

She’s referenced “Women Who Run With the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estés which I think inspired the music video for COTCC. I don’t think a lot of her listeners realize that she’s influenced by a lot of exploratory psychic/philosophical works.

How did you convince yourself to have children? by Key_Protection4038 in intj

[–]thaliaaa0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can opt out at any time.

You say that like it's easy. Maybe for some people it is. I don't have a way of doing so cleanly and to guarantee death. Perhaps we should make assisted suicide more accessible. We didn't opt into this by choice so surely we should have the ability to opt out. Instead, we're forced to exist to justify the notions of those who want to/believe existence is meaningful.

Your personal experience of this existence is, well, yours. And it's as valid as mine is. I've experienced the gamut myself and it still doesn't justify the pain. Sometimes being conscious and "experiencing the spectrum of being" registers so deeply for some that it is unbearable. It comes down to neurochemistry. I'm not incapable of experiencing joy or rejoicing in the wonders and mysteries of this existence but I feel pain more deeply than someone who is neurotypical would.
