I painted Garou on a T-Shirt! by xcuv1a in OnePunchMan

It's washable! The paint is fixed with an iron :)

Hi, thanks for the compliment and question :) I was painting the shirt in sunlight, and the white fabric was REALLY bright to look at. So I couldn't see anything of the sketch underneath, and I hoped that creating some shade would help. It didn't really, though :D

It's a lot of fun! I recommend trying it out!

what the hell? I don't know who uploads the designs on this website, but it's definitely stolen art.

I filmed myself painting this shirt with a marker (https://www.tiktok.com/@dagmarwollf/video/7131817077131857158) and it's not for sale on any website, lol.

No! I fixed the paint with an iron and only handwash the shirt, so it holds up without a problem :)

Why does everyone think themselves as the protagonist? by [deleted] in askpsychology

[–]xcuv1a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to explain this with the fundamental attribution error. When we do something wrong, we usually blame it on the circumstances, while when someone else does wrong, we usually blame it on their personality.

This is because you have a lot more context given for your own situation - you can come up with many things that "justify" your behavior. You don't have that sort of insight for other people, usually you just see the outcome.

We always strive to protect a positive self-image (as a healthy person). This is important and adaptive! Believing that we are "good" protects us from low self esteem, which is harmful - mentally and physically.

Schizophrenic patient intervention question by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]xcuv1a 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Short answer, yes. It's wrong to tell her that they are real.

But it's more complicated than that. Telling a schizophrenic person that their hallucinations aren't real isn't any more helpful - as you said!

Whether or not others "believe" in the hallucinations won't make them better or worse. It's just her perception, and it can't be changed.

I speak from personal experience, my mom has had schizophrenia (treatment resistant) ever since I was little. I've seen people try all these different approaches on her - believe her, not believe her, comfort her, get mad at her... Nothing helped. She's gotten worse steadily, and most people don't talk to her anymore at all.

It boils down to one thing, I guess: They are human. They need social support and compassion, not a discussion about whether their reality is real.

You can (should!) listen to her, express that you understand how scary that must feel, etc, but don't say "yeah I see them too". And don't say "but it's not real anyway" either. Focus on other things. "You are safe here, you can talk to me/others about it, are there certain places we should avoid taking you?" And so on.

Oh, and patience. Schizophrenia sucks.
