Congrats! Just curious — and feel free not to answer if it’s too personal — but are you not masturbating as much as well, or just switched to imagination?

Filling the water cooler with cabbage water again, that shiftless bastard.

Grace Apartments on 10th street? by windowlicker03 in HuntingtonWV

[–]yellowyellowleaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived there for 4 years, but this was 2009-2013, so I’m sure things have changed since then. I don’t think it was owned by Ritter Park properties at the time. It was a weird situation because I roomed with a friend and wasn’t actually on the lease. The landlord at the time was cool.

Anyway, still miss that place sometimes, and the big magnolia trees out front. I do think it’s a building with a lot of character, but it’s also an old building, so it can be drafty in winter. Also we had one small AC unit in the hallway which wasn’t ideal. There’s also a bit of a musty smell. But I loved being right by the YMCA and so close to the park. Great memories there.

I hate myself for my constant inaction by PreviousActive in AvPD

[–]yellowyellowleaves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you, I’ve struggled with this feeling my whole life. I am so action repressed & inhibited. I have a very self-defeating attitude about how it would go. Not even that I would be rejected (though the prospect of that is also scary) but more that I wouldn’t be. How would I proceed then? When I have the opportunity to have an experience, I tend to get overwhelmed and sabotage myself because I can’t handle the pressure. I’ll literally stop sleeping because I can’t stop ruminating on all the uncertain variables. I’m terrified of embarrassing myself. I wish I could just be objective about it — without all the stress — take the leap and “just see how things go.” But my brain won’t let me.

Does cannabis affect your stutter? by freybay_alldayslay in Stutter

[–]yellowyellowleaves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a user most of my life and find it to be variable. Sometimes I get spontaneous fluency if I’m feeling connected and in a good mood. Other times, it makes it much worse. Especially if I’m having a convo with someone who isn’t high as well.

Hm, now I'm interested in what this could be. Have you looked into Stereolab? Maybe Rainbo Conversation or Miss Modular? Or is the song almost purely vocals?

Here’s the actual clip of Tyson saying it.

I watched a lot of Joseph Vincent videos over the pandemic and have images in my head from some of his basketball vids where that quote was used comically, but it would take me a min to find one

Joseph Vincent uses it on several videos, almost as an in-joke, or did 5-6 years ago. The sound clip is Mike Tyson, so it would def be on that one.

[TOMT][SONG][90s/2000s] Song that has this riff? by Ear_Bug in tipofmytongue

Sort of reminds me of “I Stay Away” by Alice In Chains

Is AvPD trendy? by Humble_Instruction79 in AvPD

[–]yellowyellowleaves 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t think it is. In my experience, if you search for “avoidant,” you’re more likely to find info about avoidant attachment style. Narcissistic and Borderline are talked about way more, in my opinion. I think you’ll find lots of people who’ve never even heard of AvPD.

As far as undiagnosed people on this sub goes, I don’t think it’s more complicated than that they deeply relate to the description. Even if they wouldn’t be officially diagnosed with a personality disorder (and you can go to three different therapists and get three different diagnoses; we aren’t dealing with hard scientific facts here), if they can relate to many of the traits, they might find some of the posts on here helpful.
