Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When someone replies "that's not dull" to a post in Dullsters/Dull Men's Club, are they complimenting you or gatekeeping?
5·2 days agoWait. Are you complimenting or gatekeeping?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A "gentle reminder" implies the existence of a violent reminder
13·2 days agoThe violent reminder is whatever happens if you forget.
I’ve felt the same way on more than one occasion. I’ll talk with you if you’re interested.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can someone explain me what mental therapy should be like?
171·2 days agoI’m not saying there aren’t bad therapists. No matter what the field is, there are people who do it poorly, and it is possible that you just happened to get a bad one every single time, but it’s also possible, and much more likely that you got in your own way.
Our minds are really good at protecting themselves from uncomfortable thoughts. Maybe too good. We block out memories that hurt too much, and we convince ourselves that we are right just because being wrong would create too much inner turmoil.
My brother is schizoaffective. He hears things that don’t exist. On multiple occasions, I have talked to him about things that he thinks occurred, and even though nobody else in the room could hear the angry man outside yelling insults directed at him, he refuses to believe it didn’t happen. He’s just convinced that his hearing is much better than ours.
He would complain that his therapist was so obsessed with “trying to convince him that he’s crazy” and that they never tried to solve what HE thought was the problem. So he would stop going, stop taking his meds, and next thing we know, he’s driven halfway across the country because he was trying to escape the people who are out to get him.
It really seems like nobody should know us better than ourselves, but usually, other people can see all the things that we are afraid to admit to ourselves.
If every psychiatrist/therapist is telling you that X is the problem you should work on, then maybe you should stop looking at what YOU think it is and give the professionals a chance. If that makes you uncomfortable, that’s a REALLY good sign that you might actually be making progress and not just unconsciously dancing around the real issue.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you had end all be all say, what limits (if any) would you put on speech (public or private).
5·3 days agoI can get behind this.
Not because I care about spoilers, I just want to draw some dicks.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever met or heard of people with very high intelligence?
39·3 days agoI don’t think you met a genius. I think you met a liar.
Most IQ tests cap out around 160.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you talk yourself into doing things you know are good for you but you really don't wanna do?
1·4 days agoYeah. I call that Plan B.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are you honestly tired of people bitching about by this point?
41·4 days agoYeah. I can’t keep track of which games I’m not allowed to like.

81·4 days agoUh oh. It’s infectious. Quick! Everyone post more cool stuff!
I think you answered your own question. It matters more to some people than it does to others. Sure, being a complete moron with money is going to be challenging, but plenty of people find a way to get by like that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you talk yourself into doing things you know are good for you but you really don't wanna do?
35·5 days agoI don’t. I tell my wife that I’ll do X by this day. Once there’s a deadline involved, even if it’s the last minute, I will do it to avoid disappointing my wife.

One of my top time travel movies for sure
