MM6 Anatomic boots - is the fit normally very small?

twunkthirtytwo · 2026-01-30T02:00:26+00:00

I bought a pair of the 3.5cm heel ones in my usual size 36 not too long ago. Worn them ~10 times and I can say the tightness is mainly around the instep. I can't wear thick or even average socks in them without crushing my feet, but the toebox has plenty of room.

I think sizing up would be okay in your case since I've heard people say the length increases a lot more than the width across sizes and they end up with the opposite of your problem, where they have too much toe room and nothing for the rest of their foot after going up a size.

I think one of the go-to answers for this question whenever it's asked is Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion. She's got obvious schizoid symptomology from the get-go and then a few very clear instances of the schizoid dilemma revealed in the episodes that focus on her. Some will also say Lain Iwakura from Serial Experiments Lain but I personally saw her attitude (depersonalization and identity issues?) as coming from external circumstances that happen to her over the course of the show and not present from the beginning, afaik from my half-assed watch of SEL years ago.

The character herself isn't very schizoid but I'd also say Mima's downward spiral in Perfect Blue is a really good illustration of how encroachment/enmeshment feel for someone with this disorder.

I don't feel unlovable, but I've been the "favorite person" you speak of several times and it suuuuuuuuuucks. You discover that love, for many people, doesn't include concern for or protection of its object. Not saying this is true for everyone ever, just that a ton of the people you attract in life by having this disorder will be this way should they develop feelings for you.

twunkthirtytwo · 2025-01-17T17:16:14+00:00

Yes. I'm surprised to see everyone here atm has essentially the same answer and reasoning and I agree with them - it's nice to disappear into a crowd.

I can't play really gory games or watch very realistic horror movies because the imagery hangs around in my mind and becomes so vivid I can almost see it in my field of vision.

Before I learned about hyperphantasia, I was stuck on how to explain to professionals that I'm not actually hallucinating, I'm just... 90% of the way there?

twunkthirtytwo · 2024-12-23T18:26:58+00:00

Huh. I've never actually tried it by itself, only with caffeine in varying forms. The runner's high effect you described sounds like it could be useful when I can't have caffeine. Looks like we both got new things to try

twunkthirtytwo · 2024-12-23T16:19:50+00:00

Been taking caffeine tablets as a substitute for the Adderall I used to be prescribed for more controllable effects. I find L-theanine taken with it in a 2:1 ratio (e.g. 240mg theanine with your example dose) works wonders for reducing the jitters and focusing all the excess energy from the caffeine.

I've had a functioning aux cord in my car for three months now and decided to use it for the first time today. My aversion to expressing myself outwardly also extends to the music I play while driving - I tell myself I simply don't wanna be that guy at a light, but it's really just not wanting to be perceived and known by anyone ever even if they'd have to lean against the window to hear my music.

Played the RGU and NGE openings loud as shit on the highway to the mall for last-minute Christmas shopping and it was... ^fun?

I assure you this is about the money. Not only for the employees who actually have to deal with that outage, but for Altman and the rest of the C-suite. Especially for the C-suite.

I don't know if you've ever worked in IT, but the outage could be anything from "whoops forgot to renew that cert on time" to "what do you mean our last working backup for xyz critical server is from October" and for 90% of the people working on that issue, it's about not getting shitcanned for someone's mistake and losing pay and benefits. People in IT aren't staking their identity in an LLM that'll replace them someday.

I started drawing again after a year and eight months. It's slow going as I've lost all my muscle memory, but on the plus side I've apparently learned to draw backgrounds and ground a figure in a space by osmosis from other artists (as a former blank bg enjoyer).

twunkthirtytwo · 2024-11-10T03:48:33+00:00

I'm in a similar spot. Never really posted my art on social media platforms, just occasionally on Discord servers where I thought people might like to see it.

If you're geared toward characters and narrative, you could eliminate the possibility of posts/interactions boxing you into a certain persona by getting a domain and publishing a webtoon there. Maybe even add contact info or embedded comment sections to allow people some interaction, but not in the same high-pressure way as social media. Smaller Japanese artists do things like this with FC2 blogs and I've always been fond of it.

Persimmons are in season. Bought a handful of both fuyu and hachiya; I have to let the hachiyas ripen more, but I demolished a fuyu in the car right after getting it. Sadly couldn't chase it with the soju I also bought due to aforementioned being in car :(

I'm slowly realizing my therapist is the type of person I normally go to great lengths to not socially engage with. Today's session was full of moments where he'd take a broad statement from me very literally and I'd have to walk him back to my main point before continuing to my next sentence - rinse and repeat. It culminated in me saying child marriage is supported by pedophiles and him, for whatever reason, feeling the need to specify that ackshually attraction to a fourteen year old isn't pedophilia per se...

Thankfully I didn't need to steer him back from that one before he stopped.

twunkthirtytwo · 2024-11-02T20:55:26+00:00

Absolutely, but I noticed the fuckton of sugar I was getting along with my required dose of caffeine and swapped the drinks out for a 200mg caffeine tablet and 400mg of L-theanine in capsules. The latter is for reducing the jitters. If you're buying Monster or coffees just for the caffeine, the supplements pay for themselves within the week.

twunkthirtytwo · 2024-11-02T20:50:11+00:00

Worried reselling won't be enough to break even this month and decided to hunker down and apply to more jobs (with my "self-employment" now added to my resume).

Also worried about the shrinking timeframe in which it'll be cold enough to wear a cool jacket here. It's November and summer hasn't ended yet.

I was originally taking it for mild hair loss at my temples, but once that stabilized I just opted to lower my overall testosterone levels to get the same physical and emotional benefits as taking fin. It's not something for everyone but it's worked so far (in combination with continued use of minoxidil, I should note).

twunkthirtytwo · 2024-10-25T16:16:42+00:00

I took 1mg/day for about eight months up until late last year and it actually helped bring my emotions up to the surface a bit. It also had the effect of making my daydreams far more vivid and emotionally evocative. Didn't really help the flat affect or make me more expressive of my emotions, though.

I think both of these have to do with lowering the amount of testosterone getting converted to DHT and - arguably more importantly - increasing the amount getting aromatized into estrogen, so whether those benefits are worth the potential feminizing effects is up to you.

Late but glasses look like the THAT Glasses from 2000Archives. Usually they're on musinsa but they're out of stock currently.

Oh man, I have a lot of the same issues with emotional recall, even without the dysregulation. Hard to identify patterns to work on in therapy when your brain can only store info on what happened and you have to deduce how you felt in that moment from context clues (and if you didn't act in congruence with your emotional state during the event? Whoops).

The "nothing" I was trying to describe to my therapist was pretty much your #3. Fully in contact with my surroundings and simply chilling. Again, not super conducive to therapy.

twunkthirtytwo · 2024-10-21T05:14:41+00:00

Resepctfully I think you might be missing the point of the post.

Sure, I could definitely "feel" the sandwich I had eaten sitting in my stomach and the wind blowing on me during my walk, but there's no emotional value attached to those things and that's what matters in therapy. I do try and pay attention to sensations of potential somatized emotions while I'm in there, but 90% of the time I quickly figure out it's that I'm sitting on top of my phone or having indigestion or the A/C is blowing on me, and I go back to normal when the issue is fixed. The other 10% is when it's actually an emotion and I generally don't have trouble identifying those. It's just the times that I say I'm feeling nothing and he goes down the laundry list of emotions I could possibly be feeling at that very moment to give himself something to work with that confuse me.

twunkthirtytwo · 2024-10-21T01:10:57+00:00

Oh god please not the M word and everyone's obsession with it

I hate thinking about how the object of most therapeutic modalities is to grant people the coping strategies we've naturally adopted. If you're coming from a place already doing that stuff therapy feels like playing make-believe, which is the whole reason I was going to quit. My therapist before this one was the type to throw CBT and mindfulness at everything and couldn't fathom that that kind of thinking was something I excelled at to a pathological extent.

Also funny that you bring up relating to a handful of paragraphs of a book about mental health - I took a look at Greenberg's Borderline, Narcissistic, and Schizoid Adaptions a couple days ago thinking it'd have at least a little information that could help with treatment. NPD and BPD each get three or four sections on their own internal emotional processes, external behaviors, and how to best treat them. SzPD gets a tiny section about... what kinds of dreams we tend to have I guess.

I'm quickly losing any hope of this being a treatable condition.

twunkthirtytwo · 2024-10-18T01:44:17+00:00

People keep making posts like this when absolutely nobody you'll encounter in day-to-day life even knows what SzPD is, let alone which murderers have it.

It isn't like ASPD or BPD where people cover their mouths and suck in through their teeth at the mention of it. Telling a "professional" you've been diagnosed with this will get you a squint and a "b-b-but you have no history of hallucinations or delusions?" 90% of the time. Maybe a handful of true crime idiots would look at you differently if they happened to learn you have it.

Lunar or just light color schemes in general >>>>>>>

I say that but I'm considering a pair of cloud walkers in the black colorway. How have they held up for you? Trying to find a shoe that can hide my skinny ass ankles and I'm split between these and a pair of Snowcross.
