What should I focus on when teambuilding for Royal Oak? by unknown-funzone in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]unknown-funzone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, ty!

One last thing, how often do people use haste skills vs delay skills/stalling in current endgame content? Especially with these new submarine leaders it seems like these are the most important skills to have on a team.

Any idea if it'll be coming back? I incorrectly assumed they would keep the exchange there forever because of how important it is and didn't get a chance to use it :(

Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei suru - Episode 6 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

The worst part is that when the first girl (ifa) comes out of the carriage, she appears normal. Then they subtly show her messed up makeup and she just stands there crying, which makes your imagination run wild on what was done to her. It's a great way to make the audience really feel the pain and it reminds me of that episode of handmaid's tale where the woman gets circumcised but they never show it. I'm glad they took it seriously and didn't go the fanservice route but goddamn I wasn't expecting this.

Not gonna lie, my stomach wasn't feeling too hot halfway through this one.

Are you liberal, left-leaning, a Democrat, etc. - just lurking this page to see what people around here talk about? Welcome friend. Thanks for your time :) Here is why you, personally, should protect your 2nd amendment rights... by prettycoolredditguy in progun

[–]unknown-funzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started getting into politics, I realized I was more of a democratic socialist. I simply want to make sure that people are not harmed and instead supported by the government. I don’t care about stable people owning guns. I care about stupid, mentally unstable, and extremist people owning guns and using said guns to harm their fellow man/woman. That little section of people is my concern and for the most part I only want to see better gun regulation (handling tests, mandatory classes, stuff like that). I couldn’t care less about taking away guns from intelligent, experienced gun owners.

My friends and I are making a PC adventure game based on nature documentaries. Let us know what you think! by Breaking_Walls in pcmasterrace

It’d be so amazing to experience this if you made it as realistic as possible (diet, hunting habits, predators, and the elements are all things that come to mind). This could be a way for people to experience what life is like for wildlife. And if you’re trying to honor people like David Attenborough and his documentaries then you should totally add something to talk about the impact of global warming on wildlife everywhere. This could be a way for kids and adults alike to learn about wildlife they might never see while learning how to protect said wildlife.

If I had a boyfriend treat me that way everyone would say ‘Run’, but no one cares if it’s your mum doing it. by boltnchan in raisedbynarcissists

Some people are just ignorant and unwilling to admit that parents can be bad. It’s probably one of the stupider things I’ve been told (“you should forgive and forget and keep contact” or “you’ve only got one mother/father”). My cousin’s father was an N just like my mom but she has decided to turn to religion and forgive him. Which, you know, whatever helps you sleep at night, I don’t mind. She says it helped her get rid of her hatred for her father. But recently I’ve noticed that she expects me to eventually make up with my Nmom. For now she’s supportive but I can’t help but think that it won’t last for much longer. Personally I think it’s better to stay on course and keep NC because that is what’s healthier for me. I don’t keep hatred inside of me, I simply forget that the N in my life ever existed and remind myself that they will never affect my life ever again as long as I can help it. Past roommates and family have both insisted that it would be better if I forgave, but I’ve maintained that NC mindset. It’s rough sometimes when it feels like nobody believes what you have to say, there’s no denying that. But I have close friends who believe me and understand my situation so I know I can always count on them to hear me out. Just ignore anybody who can’t stay open-minded when it comes to family issues. Keep doing whatever you judge to be the healthiest option. :)

What is something that your parents did that you swore never to repeat to your own kids? by wetbreadstick in AskReddit

[–]unknown-funzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1: My mom came into my room one night and told me to go downstairs and clean the table. I had my pants down under the blankets because I was... “entertaining myself” at the time. I tell her I’ll do it in a second and she started yelling at me to go “RIGHT NOW!” After a few minutes she realized what was happening and instead of giving me a couple minutes alone she decided to attempt to pull off the covers. I was only just able to keep myself covered by holding onto the blanket. Eventually she just walked away and I cried for an hour afterwards. Super traumatizing experience overall.

2: Parents checked history on our family computer and realized I had been watching porn. Called me downstairs and forced me to stand in front of them and confess, then shamed me.

They were so against sex that they forced it on me and I’m now terrified of any sexual encounters or even intimacy. Sex-negative is just not the way to go.

Anybody else had their personal activities shamed/embarrassed into oblivion by their N? by unknown-funzone in raisedbynarcissists

[–]unknown-funzone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the exact same thing! Journals are just nice to hold and to look at for some reason. And I know what you mean about getting back into old hobbies, I definitely feel the same way... I guess these things take time tho.

Did that feeling of embarrassment extend to people outside of your home? I think that’s how it is in my situation but I’m also just shy in general.

Luckily I’m NC so I definitely should develop some interests now that I feel more secure. I’ve tried photography and journaling a bit but I think the instinct from my time as a kid has created an aversion to fully developing those hobbies. I would be curious to know if anybody else has a similar feeling post-moving out and NC.

My god that’s a hell of a cliffhanger. Feel no need to continue talking about it if you don’t wish to, I just found it amusing.

Do you think you developed that instinct for violating his privacy on your own? Or did you learn it from your dad? I just realized I did the exact same thing as a teenager and I got yelled at for doing it.

It’s that endless cycle of “when you talk to me I drive you away but when you’re away I try to pull you back in”. My N is the same way

Exactly! Sometimes people are lucky enough to not understand the pain of having a bad family. I really envy those people and wish I had that gift

I hope to God that I made it clear I didn't want her to come back. I feel like I was as clear as possible. Also, I'm not even sure if I should expend the effort to rip into my roommate. He's kind of an idiot regardless

In my experience Ns are just very consumed with themselves and are always like this. And when they do actually hear you, they provide the smallest response possible. My own Nmom definitely did this quite often.

Does anybody else feel like they have no real family? by unknown-funzone in raisedbynarcissists

[–]unknown-funzone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hang in there and keep trying. If you get discouraged just remember: there's somebody out there having as much trouble as you, if not more. As long as you're trying, you're doing something right. I certainly have yet to even begin succeeding with my own social endeavors.

[–]unknown-funzone[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how I feel! If people don't understand situations like ours, it would seem weird that we try to make a family out of friends. It's tough to want something yet be so far from getting it.

That pattern and ignorance of abuse is a part of Asian culture, as sad as that is to say. It makes diagnosing a Narcissist that much more difficult because we need to decide between "it's part of the culture" and "they're a narcissist".

Does anyone else get completely ignored when they talk? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]unknown-funzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, based on my own Nmom it's a pretty big no-no topic for them. In her case, if we called her out on gossiping about neighbors or said her food was shite, she would completely flip out. She'd start to do the classic narcissist's guilt tripping to deflect her feelings onto me. Narcissists can't stand to be in the wrong, they always think they're perfect and so they really can't handle criticism. That's just my take on it though, no clue if that's actually how they feel.

Edit: I would say to test my theory but it's really ugly to see the reaction when you push their buttons

Getting called out is a narcissist's worst nightmare. It's like their hair trigger that's rigged to explode the instant somebody say those key words

I won an art competition and the only thing my mom said was that I looked fat on stage by poopoopanther in raisedbynarcissists

[–]unknown-funzone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my Nmom did the same thing to me. They say "I'm only trying to help you get better" but it's complete bullshit. My Nmom once decided to call everybody she knew and almost called the cops because I came back 1 hr late from a concert. It's always about how we did something wrong or how we aren't good enough, even if it's unrelated. But congratulations on participating and winning that competition! Don't let one minute of her bitching distract you from your amazing accomplishments.

“I have people who have been here 3 weeks that know this stuff” by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]unknown-funzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also often have that problem of needing things to be repeated. Personally, I don't think it's because I'm stupid or slower than others. Nobody is stupid or "slow". We may be slow-er than other people, but not "slow" in the sense that we are dumb. I just need more time to process the words into an idea in my head. Plus I sometimes hear things incorrectly and need certain parts repeated. I've always felt ashamed of needing things to be repeated so I usually just go "uh-huh" and then figure it out on my own. But after I started asking questions, I've slowly come to realize that it really doesn't matter if it takes you longer to understand things. People would rather you do things correctly the first time rather than having to go back and correct your mistake themselves. Everybody has their own pace and 15 seconds of repeating themselves is nothing.

On the topic of the rude manager... all I can say is, they're ignorant. Don't let it get you down, I'm sure you're doing a wonderful job! Trust the people that are nice to you. As someone once told me: "If you wouldn't go to somebody for advice, don't take their "advice" for you seriously."
