do you ever feel yourself fail a charisma check in real time

[cynikoii]

There is a mystery odor in the neighbor’s yard that Keeso demands we investigate. I know that’s what he wants because I asked him and he went to the window and gazed longingly out at it.

I took him as close as I could earlier but alas, the source is deeper in.

they're selling anti-ai slogans on sweatshop-produced t-shirts. i don't need to write the poem for you to get it do i

ok note to self i gotta leave the house regularly so that i dont feel like im slowly transforming into an evil fucking shadow clone of myself

[syn4k]

So as it turns out your sense of self doesnt exist in a vacuum. You gotta actually use it and bounce it off of other people like echolocation to see where you are as a person and shit. So if you dont regularly interact with other people the echoes just get weaker and weaker and before you know it your personality is a blurry fucked up fog clone of its former self. which it sucks because this makes it really hard to interact with people again but yknow

there is a very real tendency of teenagers with anxiety disorders self diagnosing with considerably more stigmatized and impairing mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, DID, personality disorders), but the best response to that isn't to get angry with them for "appropriating" lol. instead you show them coping resources for the problems they're actually having and deemphasize diagnostic categories in general. if an 18 year old is claiming to have alzheimer's, they're probably making an innocent mistake and are in genuine distress. be kind.

[mariaalenkoshepard]

Also I think this trend comes, at least in part, from how brushed aside anxiety disorders can be. If your parents and teachers dismiss you with 'oh everyone feels anxious', then inevitably you're going to start thinking that there must be something else going on with you

[lightblueminecraftorchid]

”You must feel very scared right now; let’s talk about how to help you personally, tailored to your symptoms” will always be more helpful than “stop faking (X) for attention”. If theyre that desperate for attention or an explanation, something is wrong.

I have to work. Keeso can’t be trusted loose with Baxter, so I crate him. He jumps gates, so he can’t be left in my room (no door). My mom works from home and can’t take calls when Keeso reaches his limit in the crate and screams about it. She will not correct him. She lets him out. Keeso’s noises get worse because he knows she will let him out. I can’t take him with me, it’s too hot here for him to hang in the car. I can’t take him to my dad’s, he will fight with Nellie. The more I leave him, the more stressed he becomes. The greater his ambient stress, the worse his behavior with other dogs. The worse his behavior with other dogs, the fewer places I can take him. So I have to leave him at home. Where he screams and stresses.

Good ol’ Andy.
