  1. ​ @cherylj7460  As a waitress earning minimum wage, 2x3 hour shifts every day, my EI payments were not enough to help me. $5/hr for 30 hours a week=$150week. $600 month. Our tips are not insurable. I think EI payments would have been about $30/month. In other words NO meaningful support.

  7. ​ @firerams_and_arisinglion  Note taking is just a method of remembering something. If you find some information valuable then writing it down will help you to remember it. If you are just watching for entertainment then there is no need to remember it. When you read a book for its entertainment value there is no need to remember it. When you read a text book it is valuable to write down the information you want to remember. That's all. 🤷

  8. ​ @mariamae1196  I think you are suffering from clinical depression. I've had it and you just described all the signs. I couldn't even figure out what to have for breakfast so I'd just go back to bed. Talk to your doctor and try some antidepressants. They will work if you have clinical depression. If you don't then they won't harm you. Also when you talk to your doctor, ask them about group therapy or just a place where you can be part of a group instead of being alone. We all need each other. 💖🙋🏼‍♀️

  9.  @mariettamullin322  Why is everything a problem for you ? She is an adult. Start respecting her wishes. It is NOT your wedding. What is so difficult about putting on a nice dress ? I don't think this wedding is the problem. I think you have failed to let her grow up and live as she wishes. It is no longer your job to think for her. She has her own brain and desires. Why are you so disrespectful to her ? She hasn't committed any crimes. Butt out.

  11. There was never anything wrong with you. The most beautiful flower cannot blossom in a dessert. We are intimately connected to our environment where ever we are. It effects us in body, mind and spirit. To thrive, be happy and achieve our potential, we must find fertile ground. That means a supportive and caring community. That means an occupation that values your contribution. It is the most important thing in your life and is the basis for everything else. I just wish I had known this sooner. I have had my own experiences with bullying too. I am in the process of rebuilding at the moment. I was bullied at work. The first 5 years were great. Then I was targeted by a supervisor and the rest joined in. I fought for 5 more years until I couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't worth it. I should have moved on sooner but I was naive. I couldn't believe people could be so cruel for no reason. I thought sanity would eventually prevail but it didn't. I had to quit. I'm homeless now because of rent prices and no job. I'm unable to work because of my mental health. I am recovering but I am becoming myself again. Older but wiser. I will find fertile soil again. 💖🙋🏼‍♀️

  13.  @mariettamullin322  If you are refering to her wishes regarding her wedding, she has every right to be in control. It is her special day that she will look back on for the test of her life. Don't make it about what YOU want. This is the time to show HER respect by helping her make this wedding go as smoothly as possible. Please don't make problems and bad feelings for her as a result of you insisting on control. It is the wrong time to go on a power trip. Support her. Do not control her.

  17. ​ @eugenie8915  Well that's appreciation for you. You spend 20 years looking after people to find they felt entitled to it and did not appreciate it for what it was. I'm sorry. Those people were selfish and uncaring. Very immature. You can be proud of yourself for doing what you knew was right even if they didn't understand. You are good person for making that sacrifice for the people you care about. You were the honourable one. Above all the rest of your family. I guess I'll wind it up now. I better head for bed.

  18. ​ @rhonmc2782  It's funny how when we are depressed it's is hard, if not impossible, to force yourself into the shower. It's definately a thing because I belong to a FB group of people who have a hard time getting in the shower. I can't even explain why I have this strange aversion to showers when I am depressed. I just don't seem to want to go through the whole process of showering even though it would only take 5 minutes and I feel so much better afterward. It doesn't make sense. What do you think it is ? Just the mental and emotional energy required to do it seems overwhelming. Sometimes I can't FORCE myself so I give up trying and just carry on with my day. 🤷

  19. ​ @abraxasjinx5207  Crying is the natural way of releasing old suppressed emotions. You need to grieve the loss of the life you should have had. It is not fun to cry and grieve. It is painful. When there are no more tears to cry you will be free of the feelings that haunt you. You can move on in peace. Allow yourself to grieve. 🙋🏼‍♀️💖

  20. ​ @Freak4Nature  I took PCP thinking it was MDA. It was a horrendous experience. I hallucinated . When I stood up I felt like I was sitting down. My fingers looked longer than they were. My perceptions were out of my control. My boyfriend had to lie in the floor for 6 hours holding each other, afraid what we would see if we opened our eyes. After we were able to walk and see normally, there were still affected with the feeling of being outside myself watching my actions as another person. This lasted for at least 25 hours. I would imagine a person could have done this without knowing it was PCP.

  29. What you experienced was grieving. With all loss there is grief. If you do not express these emotions, they cloud your mind and emotions. Crying is the natural way that your body processes painful feelings. The feelings do not go away until they are felt and expressed. Felt by your mind and body and then released as tears. Emotions are messengers whose purpose is for your survival. If you don't receive their message, these feelings will haunt you until you do. They never just go away. Emotions must deliver their message and be expressed before they will go away and your mind can clear. I went through an agonizing grieving period recently where I was in so much emotional pain that I wanted to end my life. The grieving was horrendous. After it ended, I was no longer weighed down by the circumstances of my life but found a renewed strength of my spirit. I was then able to cope with life again with a new inner optimism that had been lost for the time I was grieving. I understand now what was happening but at the time I knew nothing about emotions and grief. I am grateful that I learned what I did about my emotions, their purpose and how to manage them. Crying is very good for you. The sooner one can "process" painful emotions, the better. I hope this info helps to clarify your experience. Telling people not to cry is NOT helpful. Crying should actually be encouraged. Best wishes for a happy future. ❤️🙋🏼‍♀️

  34. ​ @kindredmystic168  How do you get it out of your body ?
    4
  35. ..... In order to get past these emotions you MUST acknowledge the feelings and process then. How did you feel when something happened that caused strong emotions ? Were you safe to feel those emotions at the time or did you ignore them ? If they were suppressed and not fully felt at that time they will resurface to give you their painful message when you are safe to do so. Feeling and "processing" these emotions gets them out of your mind. Feeling painful emotions involves grieving. The crying that comes from feeling these emotions serve to get these feelings out. The feelings must be released or "expressed". This is a painful process but it cleanses away old emotions that were stuck inside you when you suppressed them. That is what grieving is. Feeling and processing these heavy emotions. Getting the pain out of your system. It is a natural way to sustain your mental health. 💖🙋🏼‍♀️

  36. ​ @kronieno.2757 It's because that is what was taught in church. Nothing wrong with being honest as long as you learn to spot people who are not. Sometimes, you have to let people go because they can't be honest with you or anyone. They might be great in many ways but if they are not honest, they are not respecting you.

  37. ​ @johnhunt2390  There are also critical thinkers who have religious beliefs. They are not all dummies. I think there are a lot in Texas that have never challenged their beliefs and have just gone along with the group in order to feel like they belong. Consistently many Texas church goers have become MAGA people. That is another group where they can feel like they belong. They are not there for actual spiritual enlightenment but just to belong to a group of nice people. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  40. ​ @lisasternenkind6467  You have had several traumatic experiences in a short time. It sounds like you are having a normal reaction. It is frustrating because you cannot keep up your normal life. It's time to give yourself a rest. It's like you have the flu. You need time to process all the stressful events that have unfolded in your life. Give yourself some compassion and let go of all your concerns for as long as you have to. Forget about other peoples problems. They will take care of themselves. You have to focus only on yourself for now. Have patience. Things will change. Now when you are well rested you can start doing the smallest of things and really appreciate the fact that you are alive and able to do it. Make a cup of tea and really take the time to enjoy it. Don't push yourself. You will be back to normal soon enough. Your pace has been too fast and you must learn to find enjoyment in life again. Make a good meal and enjoy it. Don't think about the things that have made you anxious. They will wait. If you don't get the dog there will be another one. You are not alone. We are here to care. 🙋💖 Maybe a warm bath would feel good. If not just go for a nap. You will be ok. Everything will work out just fine. 🌻👍🎃🫂🫂🫂

  42.  @terriweiss2557  It sounds like your "unsuccessful" siblings were traumatized or their emotional needs weren't met as children. People make choices for a reason and not because they are lazy or not ambitious. It sounds like their self esteem was lacking from not feeling loved by their parents. Maybe you got something that they didn't. They don't deserve your judgement.

  43. ​ @ThomasHernon  It is not your children's moral responsibility to sacrifice their lives and/or money to support their parents. The children have to work, save and prepare for their own retirement. They have to come first in their own lives that includes their own children. Parents are not their children's dependants. The relationship is never like that. Parents must plan to take care of themselves and NOT expect their children to treat them like children when they are old.

  44. You and your children are living in a toxic damaging environment. Please call a woman's shelter and see what they can offer you. They have the resources to help in circumstances such as yours. They can house you and give you and your kids social assistance. They will sponsor you for training at school for an occupation such as medical office, book keeping, practical nursing and other options. You don't have to stay there. Get yourself into a healthy peaceful home life for the kids sake. You will also be entitled to half of the marriage assets. Find a divorce lawyer and go in just to talk and find out about the process. They usually have free first time consultations and will work for you now and you pay later when the assets are divided. Invest your money and collect interest or dividends. That's additional income for your family 💖🙋

  62. I believe that is a correct statement. What any of us believe could be entirely wrong. Look at the unremorseful criminal. Look at the man who thinks it is acceptable to hurt others for his own gain. Your actions are determined by your beliefs. I believe in love, mercy, justice, goodness, honesty, truth, charity, humility and compassion. I also believe that there are many who do not. You can see a man's beliefs by his actions and not by his words.

  63.  @RealmsOfThePossible  Although I believe that you should try to fill your mind with good thoughts, I don't believe that is always possible. Life is not fair. That is also a well known truth. You cannot control where you are born, what resources you have access to, who surrounds you when you are a child or are dependant on, but you can try to better your life. In that process it is good to keep good moral principles. They are naturally life giving and non destructive. To attain your goals is satisfying but it is HOW you attain them that is most important. If you cannot attain any of your goals, it is how you have lived your life that is important. The goals you strive for are not as important as they way you chose to live......In truth or in deception.
    2
  64.  @darrenwalshe8513  Yes but there is still truth there. Beneath all the bullshit there is the truth. Conspiracy theories are also not the truth. Look for the simple things in life that are good and true. Like giving to others as if they were yourself. Like caring about all people and not just those who would benefit you. Like appreciating the land and water that give you your life. Like the beauty that is in your friend's smiling face and heart. Nothing else is as important as those things. Remember this and the other things that concern you will not be as troubling. Nor will they matter to you as much.

If you stay, your children will learn his evil ways . They will believe him when he turns them against you. Please find the courage to go and file a restraining order on him.

  78. ​ @misanthrophex  Who said you have to get somewhere in life ? Life is for living not competing. It's the simple things that make life worth living. For both rich and poor people. A friend that you can laugh with. A warm, comfortable and safe bed. A sunny day after the gloomy ones. A phone call from someone who was thinking about you. Time spent with your parents. Having a goal. (The best thing about a goal is not the achievement of it, but having something to get out of bed for every day.) Being of help to someone in need. I was frustrated like yourself at one time. I slowed down and started to focus on the things that are an integral part of life to hat we tend to take for granted. If you can enjoy every small moment of just being alive then you are successful. Once I relaxed and stopped pushing myself to have more and more, I found that I enjoyed what was all around me so much more. Life was a happier experience. Life itself is amazing. 🙋💜

  84. ​ @SolDizZo  Through what you said I can understand a little more about what people find so valuable about being in the army. I may be wrong but in my world things aren't that mean. I realize that people can be straight up horrible and nasty to each other but I avoid those kind of people if I identify them. Maybe when dealing with ruthless business people or in other kind of competitive field there is a genuine need to be prepared for abuse but I thought in society it is generally frowned upon. If I expect others to treat me like shit how can I make meaningful connections ? Myself personally can't reach a level of malevolence that I have experienced in some people. It is beyond me. I deal with it purely by avoidance and maintaining my belief in doing good for myself and others. Being beaten by an asshole hasn't made me more prepared to face another one. I will probably always be shocked by someone who abuses another. 🤷 I'm glad you have learned what you consider valuable lessons in the army as so many men do. I usually hear the lessons were more about valuing discipline and routine. If you were undisciplined and disrespectful as well as immature like so many young guys are I can see how it would be an eye opener. I'm happy you are finding success through your military training. That's fantastic but there are other ways to get there. I've heard of many men treating their children with military strictness and it is not a healthy parenting strategy. Children need love and respect from their parents in order to learn love and respect. They can join the army later. 🤷🖖👍

  85.  @SolDizZo  Thanks for responding. I can see now how our life experiences have differed immensely and the training you have had would be necessary for your chosen occupation. I want to say thank you for protecting us from the kind of horrific behaviour I have seen that others are able to perpetrate. I believe that any form of abuse is wrong and unnecessary. The people you mentioned that cannot be rehabilitated are people who have experienced abuse and emotional neglect since childhood. They learned their pattern of thinking and behaviour in order to survive. They don't understand that they are maladapted because they think everyone else thinks the way they do. They don't change because their disordered thinking has always worked to get them what they needed. It is ingrained deeply into their personalities since they have developed this way of thinking since early childhood. The fact that they have a deficit in empathy or disregard for it is evidence of a missed milestone in personality development. I admire your inclination to work with these people on a daily basis. It must be strange to observe the behaviours of these people who can act so normal yet are so far from it in their twisted thinking. The personalities they present to the world are a facade of normality under which indeed lies a "monster." It must be so difficult not to believe their lies. It is one thing to deal with normal people doing bad things but delusional people with disordered thinking in a prison is a whole other level. I don't know how you kept your own sanity. What kind of training can prepare you for that ? Sincerely. L

  98. ​ @KaleeinVA  I'm not sure of PTSD but healing for trauma requires alot of grieving. You bring up past memories that are attached to painful feelings and slow yourself to feel the feelings that have been suppressed for so long. Then you can release these old emotions by crying them out. Grieving is the natural way to heal past trauma. After feeling and expressing your emotions by crying you will no longer be haunted by them. You will be free of the pain. Psychologists call this "processing your emotions". It's actually just bringing up suppressed emotions and then crying until there are no more tears. That's what "processing" is I've heard it said many times without knowing what the heck processing even was.

  101. ​ @Heyu7her3  Wrong. You are always human so you will always fail sometimes whether you are old or young. Expect failure so you will always be prepared when it happens. It doesn't mean that life is over. It is a step towards even greater achievement even if you can't see it at that moment .

  102. ​ @iRobins. Yes. I'm much older and schools have become more enlightened since I went. People who "flunked" were looked on as losers at that time. It was so ignorant. I'm glad you don't look at it like that. Failing is just a stepping stone to greater achievement and teaches you humility and compassion which are big lessons for a successful life. I had to figure that out alone through emotional pain. Not a good way.

  124. Carbon tax has been proven to discourage and lower use of fossil fuels in other countries. It is a viable strategy. To implement it at this time, when the population is barely able to pay their expenses was a mistake. Also, they should have at least explained it to the public. I think at this time it should be levied only on big businesses to encourage the implementation of other energy sources.

We would not be bringing in immigrants by the boat load if we could work a minimum wage job and support ourselves. The immigrants live together to keep expenses low. Minimum wage is enough for them to send money back home. It is not enough to get started in this society. How do you get an education when you can't feed yourself on your full time job. Working two or three jobs is NOT SUSTAINABLE for most people. If employers cannot afford to pay their employees fairly should they be in business ?

It is not acceptable in a civilized society. What you say to people in private is completely free. I am also against government over reach as you describe it. But that is not what "hate speech" is refering to. That's why I was shocked that you would support it.

  148. "Hate speech" is refering to when someone is in a Public location where there are, or may be, children and yelling "Fuck Nigers !" or "Fuck Jews!" or whatever. It also refers to signage of that nature. Most people do not want to have to listen to that while going to work or school. What you are referring to is censorship. Social media platforms are private companies that are free to make their own rules. It is not government censorship. The internet itself has no censorship. You can find anything.

  154.  @dienekes4364  You are looking in the wrong places for God. I was just like you in my thinking before finding God. I could not understand why so many people (millions) believed in an invisible "Father". So I did a lot of reading and asking in my mind that if He was real that He would reveal Himself to me. As I went through life there were many things that happened to me that showed me. It was never an object or artifact or a vision or things like that. It was in my observation of the relationships between people. It was in the way that power corrupts people and the decisions to be kind or unkind. It all comes from your mind and your interpretation of reality. We all see things differently depending on our life histories and what we have already experienced. For mentally healthy people it's not just going along with what they are told, as you know yourself. You seem to think that people who believe in a God are unable to think critically, as you can. All the millions of people who believe and have given their lives for this belief are somehow moronic. Really ? Or could it be that they know something that you haven't discovered for yourself. As you move through life you will learn about things that you were blind to before. If you keep your mind open to the fact that there 'might" be God then you will find Him. To begin your understanding I highly recommend a book called "The Road Less Travelled" by Scott M Peck. It is written from the perspective of a guy like you and I who comes to believe. It is his own growth in understanding spirituality. There is so much more to life than what meets the eye. Try to respect other people's beliefs because you may learn something from them. Ask people how they came to have their belief in God and they will tell you. Just listen and do not judge yourself to be smarter because in truth you are not. There are people much smarter and also less smart that believe. They all have their own reasons. Their reasons are not as you think. Ask in humility and LISTEN. Don't think that you know better than others and disrespect their experience. That is arrogance and not respectful. Good luck on your own journey.

  163. ​ @Virtus555  Because drug or alcohol addiction is a symptom of subconscious emotional pain. Those who don't have this pain don't have the same drive to continue drinking. Alcoholics are very unhappy people who are self medicating. They need to heal their pain if they want to give up their compulsion to drink. These people usually do not realize their drinking is not the same as other people. Their bodies learn to rely on it.

  164.  @Virtus555  I was answering your question re why can't some people drink moderately. In response to why people bash alcohol. It hasn't been my experience that alcoholics or anyone else is against alcohol. People who have lost loved ones in car accidents or alcoholism can be understandably anti-alcohol but the ordinary person does not care if others drink or not. 🤷‍♀️ Even alcoholics are not anti-alcohol. They know that other people can drink responsibly. They also know that they cannot. Who have you heard bashing alcohol ? I only know people who encourage drinking. 💖🙋🏼‍♀️

  180. ​ @PSTNH_D_DNT I have heard that journalling is writing down experiences you have had that have produced in you strong emotions. If you experienced painful emotions by journalling about them what happened and how you feel about it will help you get in touch with feelings that you have suppressed. If these feelings are strong they should be expressed by writing about them or crying. If they are good feelings you can write about the experience to get in touch with your happiness, joy of living, pride in yourself etc. Emotions that you may have overlooked that should be enjoyed and appreciated. Our feelings are messengers. You need to let them deliver their message and in receiving the message you should express it. In this way your feelings won't be suppressed and go unfelt. People can lose touch with how they feel about things by not allowing themselves the time or place to reflect and really understand the message that your emotions are giving. If you ignore your feelings enough you will lose the ability to feel anything. You become numb. 🙋💜
    1
  181. ​ @Killer007X1  Writing down your experiences that you have strong emotions about helps you to really get in touch with those feelings and experience them completely. Painful emotions will bring tears and happy feelings will bring joy. In this way your feelings will not be suppressed and stuck in your system, coming out in inappropriate ways and times. Feelings don't go away until you have really felt them fully and expressed them in tears or joy. If you suppress your emotions you will eventually have emotional problems such as rage, substance abuse, abusive behavior and other manifestations. It is healthy to process your feelings so they can be released and you can have peace. 🙋💜

  182. ​ @Jhawk_2k  Writing about your experiences helps you get in touch with your feelings about them. Once you are aware of how you feel, you can grieve the sadness or celebrate the happiness.

  183. ​ @kuskie3816  The problem is those feelings will come back until you finally feel them. Feelings can haunt you for your whole life if you don't feel them and get them out of your system.

  201. Thank you for your warm and compassionate words. You are a giver. I too feel disconnected from the outside world. I have recently retired but my job left me too exhausted to have a social life so I am lacking a "best friend". I find it's hard to function with no one to bounce things off of. The thoughts just keep circling inside my head with no outlet. I have no idea where I am going to live in the future. This building has been sold and my rent is doubling. I have recently run into problems with my family which have really floored me. I'm 66. My brother is 64. He has convinced my 93 year old mother that I am trying to steal her money. Together they have backstabbed me and have revealed their true characters to me. They are not nice people. They just wear a mask. This was quite a revelation and after lots of tears and grieving I have come to the realization that they don't love me. They certainly don't trust me but it is actually they who are not trustworthy. All this garbage and abuse from my brother happening out of the blue. It's shocking and disgusting that they would turn on someone who was always very good to them. It doesn't even make sense. It's VERY narcissistic of both of them. So I am trying to focus on the move and just myself. I have a few acquaintances that I am in touch with that I hope will get me through this chapter of my life. After I move, I hope to get settled and get a pt job at a bank. They are always desperate for tellers. The work hours would be much better for my personal life and I will have time for friends again. I know it will be a process for me to get into a life style that I will be happy with. I don't want to feel isolated anymore. It's not good for me. I lose my confidence and drive. I just want to sleep all the time to escape my life. It's just been too hard to cope. I've never been in this isolated from people before. And all of a sudden I don't have a family. I just hope my cousin's won't believe the lies too and turn their back on me. My mother's brother has already turned on me. He believes my brothers lies. Anyway, that's what is happening to me. I loved my mother and brother. 🤷 I was always honest with them. So what's going on with you ?

It has happened to me and I didn't have it in me to continue my job. I left my job and I'm just resting these days. I am attempting to heal by being good to my body and good to my soul. I take more time to enjoy life instead of rushing rushing rushing. I am trying to do things I used to enjoy even if I don't feel much enjoyment right now. I know I will eventually get my old self back. It will take time for me to heal but in time I will find some people that are worth caring about and want to share some experiences with me. I thank God I'm not working at my old job anymore. I now have the time to heal my mind and soul before I have to cope with more mean and abusive people out in the world. I am kind of rambling on now but I want you to know that I understand your feelings and I believe you will see brighter days ahead. Improving one day at a time. 💖🙋🏼‍♀️🫂

  205. ​ @rhonmc2782  If you need a mate/companion you will have to meet lots of guys to find a suitable one. I think you should look into online dating. My girlfriend has lots of fun meeting different guys in public places. Many, many people have found love online. One coffee date a week won't kill you and you never know who you'll meet. Could you manage going for a coffee with a guy who is on his best behaviour because he wants to impress you ? You have to get out there to find someone who can meet your needs emotionally, spiritually and physically. You are responsible for getting your needs met so you can live happily. This is a way to do that. 💖🙋🏼‍♀️

  230. Get in touch with your suppressed emotions by writing about circumstances that hurt you in the past. Think about them and if tears start to flow, that means you are in touch with your pain. Let yourself cry. Cry and cry. Completely feel those painful feelings. They are deep inside. This process can take days, weeks, months, or years. As long as that memory brings up painful feelings you haven't finished grieving it. When there are no more tears to cry, you will find peace. The memory will remain but the emotions will not be attached to them anymore. You have felt and expressed them in your tears. A healthy normal human cries 3 to 4 times a week. In North America, we do not see the value of grieving. It is the natural and necessary way to release your painful feelings. In NA we just continue to suppress and ignore our feelings. If you don't release them they will haunt you for the rest of your live. They will surface again and again, trying to give you their message. Once you have received there message(felt the feelings) and released them in your tears, you will have expelled those emotions from your system. You will find a renewed sense of peace and your thinking will be clearer. 💖🙋🏼‍♀️

Life's first priority is survival. Where does that come from ? It is innate in all life forms. Even the smallest life form has a drive to survive. It is obviously essential to life but why does it exist ? Why ? The question is the answer. 😊💙

  235. ​ ailediablo79 You have a wrong concept of psychopath. Psychopaths are willing to destroy others and do quite regularly. This characteristic makes them dangerous to EVERYONE. If you have every had the pleasure to know one you would not have any respect or appreciation of this pathology. They have no conscience. They enjoy harming others.Are these the characteristics that you like to see in people ? My brother is one. He is disgusting and sick. He was a sweet boy but he felt less than his peers because they were high achievers. It made him transform into a person that made him feel better than others so he didn't have to feel ashamed. I wish I could have made him feel good enough as a child. I was also a high achiever and probably made him feel inadequate even though I loved him. Now he is a very hurt boy acting like a big shot. It isn't the person he was as a boy. He rejected that little boy and became a different person. I feel sorry for that little boy. He was not less than anybody. He just felt that way and he didn't know how not to feel that way. He needed more respect as a child than he got from me and his family. He was loved but not respected enough for being the special person he was..

  236. I'm a chronic night owl who would love to be a morning person. I don't know why I am more alert at night. Mornings have always been a hard time for me. I hate the alarm clock and forcing myself up when I am enjoying my sleep but I never want to go to sleep when I'm fully awake. If I let myself sleep until I wake up naturally I will sleep until noon. I won't feel tired until 4 am. That means I am getting exactly 8 hours of sleep but not at the normal times. I have tried to change because it is not the most efficient time frame to live but I always fall back into this pattern. I am quite miserable when I get up early or force myself to sleep earlier too. Maybe I'm just a miserable maladjusted outlier. It would seem that I just can't fit into the regular pattern of society. Even in kindergarten my mother has to switch me to the afternoon class 🤷

  247. ​ @lainiwakura6903  The "failure is bad" mindset was sincerely pushed on children by teachers and parents until they became more enlightened, relatively recently. I'm 60 and anyone in my class who failed was considered less than the ones who passed. I failed math 30 in my senior year, because of family problems, and felt like a "failure" for that. It was only years later that I found out that many many people fail math 30 the first time they take it. It is a very challenging course with an enormous amount of content. Taking it at the same time as Physics 30 was too much for me and very understandably overwhelming. It was not right to make me feel like I was less than others because of my one failure. I was not taught how to deal with failure what so ever. I'm very glad that people now understand that failure is part of the road to success because that was not a belief I was taught at all. I went to public school like everyone did and further to college. Failure was never thought of as acceptable. Even today my brother looks down on me for failing that class. He's an ignorant asshole but that is another story. 🤷😄

  260. Yes I think the carbon tax was not appropriate at this time when people are barely getting by. The carbon tax was proven to lower the use of fossil fuels in other countries. I think it should have only been for the big businesses who need to be accountable for the pollution they produce in the atmosphere. Other strategies to reduce fossil fuel use would be more welcome than a tax.

  271. ​ @joejones9520  Narcissists have identifiable characteristics. If they possess all of these characteristics, they may very well have NPD. When people act cruel and with no empathy for other people they are often unliked. The diagnosis of NPD is only rare because; therapists are not well versed in personality disorders and don't always identify it. Also people with this disorder will rarely seek therapy because they don't believe they have a problem. Because of the way past generations were taught that abuse was within the normal range of disciplining children. When the children grow up in this environment, the are given this behaviour as an example of parenting, so they believe their behaviour is valid. It is difficult to break this chain of wrong thinking because the entire extended family is conditioned to accept this kind of behaviour. The abused child is told that the abuse is for their own good so they believe their parents have their best interests at heart. Of course abuse is not love, but parents defend their behaviour by claiming that abuse is part of love. As you can understand, many, many children have been raised this way. Authoritarian and over controlling parents are still not thought to be causing trauma to their children when in fact they are. Society is finally becoming aware of why abusive parents produce abusive children and on from generation to next generation. In summary, there are many unidentified or undiagnosed Narcissists caused by bad parenting. Since bad parenting was considered within the range of good parenting by society in the past, we have an abundance of NPD among us. It is good to be aware of these damaged people so you aren't hurt by them. Of course there are other reasons that people hurt each other, but when it is because they don't have any empathy, it is a red flag for NPD. 🙋🏼‍♀️

  272. ​ @Geburtswehe  Yes that may be true but it would be very difficult to change the intrinsic and deep beliefs that the Narcissist developed in childhood. This narcissistic behaviour they display works for them to get their needs met. To give up that behaviour is almost impossible for these people because they are convinced that they are normal and everyone behaves the way they do. It is a terrible affliction for both the abuser and the abused. I think it is good that people are becoming more aware of these people in order to identify them before becoming involved with them.

  273. I felt that way when I got sober too. Old party friends had to go and that left me very alone. AA meetings can be good to be around other people. It is common to go for coffee with a few people after the meeting. They have sober dances too. Volunteering for anything will give you purpose and get you around potential new friends. If you take any course in something that interests you, you are guaranteed to meet fellow students. I didn't realize it, but there is a whole world of people out there that don't drink. You won't be isolated for long if you get out there and meet other people. 🫂

  278. Hi Diana. Trauma is the biggest plague of our time. It destroys innocent people's lives such as mine. I had talent and potential. My parents were narcissistic and selfish. I didn't understand them and I spent years in confusion. The love I got from them was limited and self serving. Just enough to keep up appearances to the outside world but nothing that was helpful to me and my success in life. I became alcoholic and eventually suicidal. My heart was broken time and time again and now at 66 years old I have nothing. I did the 12 steps and got the miracle but I have been yet again been attacked by my family. This time my dear brother who took over the abuse from his role model, my stepfather. He has pretended to care about me for 40 years but has recently revealed that he has hated me. Why ? No reason, just by example. My mother hasn't trusted me for 40 years for no reason. Brainwashed by the damaged stepfather. I have worked for minimum wage for my whole life and could never save a dime. Yes I tried to get an education,,,....student loan.......ran out of money although I lived in poverty. Had to pay loan back on minimum wage with great hardship. Had horrible relationships with men. No one to turn to who gave a shit. Every time I was really down and needed people they turned their back on me and put me down even further. The last job I had they bullied me until I had to quit. I was not prepared for any of this. I now am so emotionally hurt I can't cope with life anymore. I sleep most of the time. I am on a pension of 1,000/month and have to look for gov't housing that is subsidised so I'm not homeless. I no longer have dreams. I'm out of time. My only hope is that I don't become homeless, jobless and friendless and sick. Our stories are similar. People don't understand my life and look down on me. I tried my best and that is all. I did what I could with what I had. People weren't helpful to me. I had some good friends and a few good times. I wish I hadn't expected better for myself. It makes me sad. My life and potential was wasted. 🤷
