Hades 3 just dropped.
Please try August Uncommon Teas. August.la is the link. I raved about them to a friend who honestly became annoyed with me going on about them. Then, tried them. She called me and was like, "Oh, shit. Nico was right."
Ah. Their word choice of "gotten past" led me to assume they viewed it as an obstacle.
You can literally re-spec and redesign your character at any point. There's no point to wasting your time picking the perfect aesthetic if you can simply change it 5 minutes later.
Yeah, the problem with self-inserting into D&D characters is that you get personally affected by what happens to them and how they're treated. It's called "bleed". Plus, if it's a self-insert, you probably play them not too dissimilarly from how you act in real life, and they're probably used to referring to that personality that they're familiar with as a whatever pronoun they know it by.
It's just you trying to break out of the Matrix, but you keep waking up back inside it.
No suggestions. I just wanna know what the answer ends up being that fixes it for you.
"You're all assholes too? Psh, then why am I pretending not to be?!"
As somebody with social anxiety, it sounds like your MIL also has social anxiety. Hence, the constant need to have to reinforce that other people can stand her. I had to train this out of myself in my late teens/early 20s.
I know it's annoying to deal with, but showing a little compassion and simply affirming that you're exhausted but her relationship with you is secure will go a long way for her. She'll probably get used to you being quiet around her too.
I think it's really ironic when I see these memes, because it highlights how our own heads will highlight the things that grate against our own nerves.
I assume everybody that this resonates with resonates with it because they themselves have been told to go against their nature and wanna know why the other side hasn't.
I'm the other end of that spectrum. I promise you, people told me all that. "Mind your peers. Share the space. Stop being...so much. Learn to be comfortable in silences. What can't you shut the fuck up?"
I have autism, so I didn't understand why I was always screwing it up. I also hated hearing, "Be yourself. People will like you for who you are," because I found that when I stopped trying to mask, I'd immediately hear all of the above all over again.
Is the writing in this picture just so tiny that I can't see it??
Yeah, what are they doing there? Crazy Antarcticans.
Annoyed that the person in the third post is pretending to be the person in the first two posts.
I could not figure out how to get acquainted with people on there.
My tummy hurts from eating too much ice cream.
I'm also lactose intolerant, but the devil doesn't sleep just cause I stopped fightin' him.
I've noticed that my brain's default friends activity is "go hang at a bar".
99% of my ideas for what to do with friends have to do with "we hang, but at a bar".
I've started to consider suggesting aquarium trips, outdoor movie nights, etc, but then I decided it might be nice to chit chat about it with y'all because I wanna hear what y'all like. Especially things you didn't expect to be as pleasant as they were but became a regular thing.
TIL the applause in Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets" was taken from a Jimi Hendrix performance and "fake-lived" by the audio engineers.
After recording the song in the studio, John and the band worried that it was too plain and unoriginal. In the Eagle Vision documentary on the making of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” Joh…
