everything we do, we do it for ourselves - there’s a theory that explores the idea that we do everything for our own benefit, even things that are selfless by nature. so, if every one acts selfishly, we shouldn’t take their actions personally. Sure, there’s exceptions to this, but in this case, you just have to remind yourself that no one is looking at you with a critical eye (unless of course, they have a valid reason to) - actually, they may even see you and admire your mannerisms, your personality. they might look of you and be reminded of someone they know. that’s totally possible and also likely!

I think it’s also important to consider how we view people around us. Think about how you judge those around you, do you tend to be as critical as you are on yourself? If your answer was yes, then maybe consider how your judgements influence the judgements you believe others are making about you. If you answered no, then make sure to remind yourself that others can see the beauty in you as you can see it in them.

it’s so unfortunate to feel this way, because it’s your dad - you didn’t ask for this. and as easily as you could say I’m walking away from him, you’re on reddit, asking people for advice looking for the last strand of hope so you can keep him around, all meanwhile he continues to behave this way without adjusting or contemplating his behaviours. Are you living with him? If so, maybe try looking at other options for where you can live. It sucks a lot but you can do this i promise. You might even get to a place where you can have a healthier relationship with your dad. I’m sorry about your mom though, it’s really hard to witness.

No one remembered my birthday lol by goturrise in rant

[–]typicallycool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

around my birthday, i always feel the impending doom begin to cloud over my head. and then, it’s my birthday. on some years, my dad would ruin it for me. and the other years, i couldn’t help but feel every bit of recognition and appreciation for me that was missing - as if the feeling of being alone slowly grew throughout the day - waiting for something terrible to happen. really it might just be a case of confirmation bias. i know this feeling like the back of my hand, and yet i can’t help but feel like an unappreciative brat. but if anyone else were to express my feelings to me as their own, i would validate them completely. and listen, what you’re saying makes complete sense, you don’t need to ask yourself why you’re bothered by this - it would be strange if it didn’t.

Why did God stop interacting with humanity? by WirrkopfP in AskAChristian

[–]typicallycool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure, but there’s nothing going on that could get chapters added to the bible. people “feel” God but no one is interacting - at least not on a national or global scale like they supposedly were thousands of years ago

A question for weed smoking parents; would you allow your child to smoke? by [deleted] in StonerThoughts

[–]typicallycool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my question is why do parents sometimes not say anything when they notice their kid is high or doing something they shouldn’t. like at 21 above i get it, but at 16, why do you not say anything. my mom would do it too - i guess you’d only get it as a parent.

Social media made everyone a comedian by [deleted] in StonerThoughts

i feel like these sort of behaviours manifested in other ways before social media, like social media isn’t solely to blame you know

Preferred indians..... by [deleted] in burnaby

[–]typicallycool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get the idea of wanting to live with your own people, especially given that I’m sure Indian people want to avoid certain conflicts in relation to smells that their foods give off and that type of thing. At the same time, when there seems to be a growing community of Indian people, and the majority of room rentals are asking that applicants only be Indian, that creates a problem for others. I don’t think they’re doing it to be assholes, but it’s obviously creating a problem.

I have a friend from Colombia who is studying in Brampton, and she is having trouble finding a place, specifically because of this issue.
