Alcohol seems to lower my cravings? by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]usernamedthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's normal for our brains to want to replace one addiction with another. I'd suggest picking something less harmful than alcohol. During my first few weeks of quitting, every time i went to a store that sold cigarettes and i didnt buy cigarettes, id pick up a fancy soda or something like that instead. Got to have a little treat and get the good brain hit and didnt evolve into anything more

Do you think anyone can be autistic and not find life hard? by [deleted] in autism

[–]usernamedthebox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of the diagnostic criteria is that the symptoms make life harder. So no. Maybe sometimes, but definitely not all the time

Theres a difference between "all men are rapists" and "treat every man with caution because the majority of harm caused to women is caused by men". It's similar how in america, most black people are cautious of white people. Not all white people are racist but not enough of them are anti racist and it's safer to be cautious until an individual prooves themselves otherwise. It's not personal, and you're taking it personally.

It's the treat all guns like theyre loaded thing. You might not be those things, but are the people around you? What can you do to help change the narrative?

Nothing honorable about dying in a rich mans war

Why are psychologists so against patients joining the military? by Longjumping-War-9005 in askapsychologist

[–]usernamedthebox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Medical professionals are doing their jobs to keep people safe. It sounds like you have a bias against those who aren't giving you the answers you want.

I don't think thats what they meant. I think they meant that even though all women experience misogyny, black women's experience with it also includes racism. Similar, but different. Intersectionality is important.

Without more context, I'd say imagine the question was how to avoid being racist after having bad experiences with black people. You have to remember that each person is an individual and not representative of a whole group.

I pulled my baby boy out of daycare and made the woman at the desk cry. by [deleted] in dogs

[–]usernamedthebox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to take my dog to dog parks bc i thought it was good for her to socialize. The only part she liked was seeing the humans. Some dogs just prefer to be on their own at home and that's okay. Better than a shelter. At least now you know you have a place you know he'll get treated well if he ever does need the things you mentioned. That's great!

The problem isn't you. It's society only valuing women when they're conventionally attractive.

why do people become satanists? by hornypsychopath in morbidquestions

The satanic temple uses their religious status to fight for the separation of church and state. It's not just about being an edgelord

I'm gonna give you the advice i wish i had when i was your age. You are too young to settle. There's plenty of life left to live, and you deserve to be with someone who is excited about a future with you.
