For most people covid isn’t that big a deal anymore, assuming you had all your vaccinations.

Nope, you’re absolutely right. But I’m not projecting that I know everything. I just won’t ask for help unless I’ve tried by myself, and can’t do it.

I don’t want to be absolutely clueless about hoe something is done when I ask

For me, it’s not that I don’t want to bother anyone. It’s just that I’m an arrogant pos and I don’t like to admit I don’t know something until I’ve tried to figure it out myself. Kinda toxic, but this forced me to learn a lot of things by myself or via tutorials online.

It’s kinda sad that when men have problems, they’re just expected to solve it themselves.

Words like “self-imposed” are just thrown around to handwave their issues away. But no one asks why the men think this way. Are women completely blameless?

How would women react if men were to say the lack of female representation in STEM is “self-imposed” and that women should just stop not applying for those jobs because of fear. It’s unrealistic right?

And yet, Muslim states exist.

Just playing devil’s advocate, maybe it was hamas who bombed the house just to get sympathy. Hamas has shown that they don’t really care much about civilian casualties.

Interest or fun maybe? Not everything has to be super intellectual.

I don’t think they’re denying they live in a shithole. It’s just that there’s no easy way out.

Ah I think I understand. The therapist doesn’t really solve any of my problems, they just suggest steps I could take to fix them myself, or learn to accept things?

Wow that sounds scary af.

No.

In du cases the mental mechanisms are not helpful but detrimental.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand this, could you explain more? Shouldn’t people develop mental mechanisms to cope with things? Or am I understanding it wrongly?

I see. I have been considering going to a therapist. I find myself staying in bed most days and feel tired all the time, I can’t really motivate myself to get out and do stuff. Today’s a good day though, I actually managed to make some food and turn on my computer to do some work.

My friends and family just keep saying there’s nothing wrong with me, and I’m just lazy. Maybe they’re right, who knows? I only know I haven’t always been like this. I also live in Singapore, where they don’t really care too much about people’s mental health, just their productivity, so maybe that’s contributing to their opinion.

Thanks for the answer though, it helps a lot. 😁

So a therapist will give you advice on how to deal with the issues you encounter? I’m still not really sure how it will really help with life issues. Thanks for the answer though, I’m just trying to learn what a therapist does for a person. I think I got a bit confused as to what a mental institution is.

That’s how you become a Wendigo.

Yeah I don’t necessarily buy a lot of things when I go out during christmas time, but the lights and decorations just add to the “christmas spirit” for me.

Then they would start losing a lot of money. Christmas is one of the biggest events. People will find ways to celebrate it still though.

Brunch wouldn’t be at 7 though

The freedom clock, where hours are called “freedoms”, minutes are called “stars” and seconds are called “stripes”.

Don’t the borg only adapt after they get shot? They need to experience it to adapt.
