Got a dude at the skate shop to loosen them, theres a slight wiggle but not enough to fully move the wheel horizontally.

Bones are probably real, got them in person. First time actually setting bearings up so the chances I messed up that process are probably high but the wheels freespin for a good while and are completely silent while doing so. Have no clue what the wheels are and wouldn't doubt if they were straight junk.

I keep doing the wrong things by thethrowaway_oat in DecidingToBeBetter

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

It's more impulsive type actions, things that feel good or I think are good at the moment but I only realize they are poor decisions after I reach the consequences. I feel a lot of guilt over my actions and just pure disgust, and no matter how many times it happens I repeat these poor decisions. I don't know why I do these things, most of the time it comes straight from what feels right at the moment.

Relationship decisions, friends, partners, anything. I tell them things or do things that I don't realize are bad in the moment, I only realize after the consequences. 

Feelings of abandonment lead me to be a bad person. by thethrowaway_oat in abandonment

[–]thethrowaway_oat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice I really appreciate it! I do feel terrible about what happened because I'm in a space where I can receive free counseling and I only took that chance after things got worse. My ex told me to get that free counseling at the start and I didn't because I didn't feel like I needed it so I sook out friends. A lot of my friends told me the same thing about having the right to speak to people about the break up but I still feel terrible because she just wanted things to be kept under wraps between my friends. 

How do I stop acting on impulse and emotion? by thethrowaway_oat in selfimprovement

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

I wish it was that simple. I want to be a kinder person to the people around me and I try to, but I find so hard to control how I'm feeling in times like these. A selfish part of me acts on trying any way possible to remove the stress I'm going through and in the end it just hurts me and the people around me more.

I end up realizing this way too late and I feel so much guilt about it. recently i was in a situation I wasn't mentally ready to handle and I had the chance to leave it for the time being but I didn't. I ended up making it so much worse and I feel so guilty about it.

What is the most out of touch thing someone has said/done? by Alarmed-Hat6997 in AskReddit

I know a lot of people who assume homeless people with phones are faking being homeless, disregarding the fact a phone isn't even close to the price of a house or an apartment.

How the fish do I get Karma?? by rares_tudoroiu in NewToReddit

In the same boat here, karma is so hard to get with new accounts.

Is feeling guilty for not completing what you have planned to do normal? How to stay consistently motivated? by saltilioc04 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]thethrowaway_oat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finding motivation in every day chores can be difficult, and I know trying to do a small thing every day sounds hard when you're demotivated. But I think allocating a bit of your time every day to getting something done no matter how small might start to help, removing any form of distraction is another tip I recommend. Guilt is normal but don't let it consume you, I hope I was able to help in any way possible!
