Basically tricking people when you know we agree but they can’t help but play devils advocate.

Fears ago it felt pretty normal to earn yield on your crypto, just park it on a platform and let it earn something while you hold long term.

But after everything that happened with some lending platforms blowing up, it seems like a lot of people got way more cautious about it.

At the same time, letting your crypto just sit there doing nothing also feels kind of like a missed opportunity if you’re planning to hold for years anyway.

I noticed that some platforms are trying to come back with clearer structures and regulation now, which makes me curious if the space is actually getting safer or if the risk is still basically the same.

Are you guys still earning yield on your crypto these days?

I understand gravity but how are we not upside down when in Antarctica vs the Arctic?

I'm new here and I decided to download this app because been meaning to talk about certain movies and shows and really go into detail. I also appreciate different povs and opinions on movies because I think that's just the art of it.

I'll list a few movies I've watched and we can talk about them! If there's any movies similar to these, feel free to suggest more.

• Reservoir dogs
• Machinist
• Kill bill + Kill bill 2
• About time
• Black Swan
• Whiplash
• Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
• Amelie
• Vanilla sky
• Dead Poet's Society
• Good Will hunting

These are some well known ones which got me really interested in films.

Like seriously, It's really strange to think that Ads make people spend more money, when personally, whenever I see an ad for a product, I instantly DON'T want to buy that product or subscription, just because it interrupted what I was doing or watching, mostly on Youtube.

And if I want to buy something, it's because I actually did my research on that product. Not because some random video popped up and made me go "Wow, I really need this!"

Post I came across an interesting idea recently while reading a nonfiction book about attention. It suggested that mental fatigue doesn’t always come from difficulty. Sometimes it comes from accumulation. Small unfinished things keep stacking in the background of the mind. A message you need to reply to later. A conversation you replay in your head. A decision that never completely closed. None of them feel serious by themselves. But by evening it feels like the brain has been carrying too many loose threads. The book described it as attention being spread across too many unfinished moments instead of completing one thing before moving to the next. It made me curious whether other people notice the same pattern. Do you ever finish a completely normal day and still feel mentally drained for no clear reason?

I plan to talk about topics such as depression, self-esteem/hatred/doubt, trauma, relationships, ADHD, and so on.

I am 22 and study psychology. My own path has been marked by crises and difficult, dark times and issues. Depression, anxiety disorder, trauma, eating disorder, etc. What saved me as a child was analysis and self-reflection. That's why I'm very good at it now. Writing and talking also kept me alive, so I'm trying my hand at poetry podcasts and the like.

I want to shed light on and draw nourishment from everything I have experienced, which is why I am studying psychology.

I want to collect questions. First of all, there are no trigger questions/topics for me. I am honest and unvarnished, and no question is unpleasant, too much, or anything else for me.

Topics:

Depression

ADHD

Trauma

Self-esteem

Body image

Eating disorders

Attachment trauma

Loss

Relationships

Dark thoughts

Self-discovery

And whatever else comes to mind...

Ask ANYTHING

In Season 1, Episode 4 "The Alliance", Toby is eating mixed berry yogurt. Pam's Favorite. The ick factor of this is astronomical.

I plan to talk about topics such as depression, self-esteem/hatred/doubt, trauma, relationships, ADHD and co.

I am 22 and studying psychology. My own path was quite marked by crises and difficult, dark times and themes. Depression, anxiety disorder, trauma, eating disorder etc. What gave me salvation as a child was analysis and self-reflection. That's why I'm very good at it now. In addition, writing and speaking kept me alive, so I try to get to poetry podcasts and co.

From all that I have learned, I would like to make light and nutritional value and therefore study psychology.

This is by beautiful late grand mother in the Dominican Republic in the early 1960s. This photo is going to be featured in my grandfathers new poetry book. I love to see this photo be restored so we can can see her better. Thank you.

The only photo is this polaroid. He passed.

This question has been on my mind for a while — and the more seriously I think about it, the less obvious the answer becomes.

The surface-level assumption seems straightforward: if AI helps everyone process information faster, filter noise better, and make more disciplined decisions, then the gap between market participants should narrow. If that gap narrows, inefficiency shrinks. And if inefficiency shrinks, so does the room for speculative edge.

Logical. Plausible. But, I think, incomplete.

Markets are not inefficient simply because people are slow or uninformed. They are inefficient because participants have different objectives, constraints, time horizons, incentives — and different ways of being wrong.

AI does not remove that. It accelerates it.

What I think actually happens when AI copilots become widespread is not the compression of opportunity, but the redistribution of where opportunity lives.

The simpler inefficiencies will shrink: delayed information processing, retail panic, obvious mispricings, weak risk awareness. These are edges that exist because one participant is meaningfully slower or less informed than another. AI closes that gap quickly.

But once those edges compress, advantage shifts somewhere else:

toward better data,
better architecture,
better execution,
better alignment between strategy design and current market regime,
and better adaptation when that regime changes.

In other words, AI does not lower the bar for having an edge. It raises it.

The easier edges may gradually disappear. But structural, adaptive, and better-engineered edges do not disappear — they become more valuable precisely because fewer participants can build them.

Which suggests a more interesting future: not a world where AI removes speculation, but a world where speculation becomes more rigorous — a competition not between informed and uninformed humans, but between increasingly intelligent decision systems with different architectures, different data, and different capacities to adapt.

That is the real shift.

Not from opportunity to no opportunity, but from human-speed inefficiency to system-level competition — where being early, being informed, and having an edge mean something structurally different from what they mean today.

I’m curious how others see this:

When AI financial copilots become normal for everyone, do inefficiencies disappear — or do they simply migrate to a level that becomes much harder to reach?

Virtuals Protocol and the Ethereum Foundation just dropped the commerce layer for agents. This can be called as a new job primitive.

Currently we need a platform like Upwork or Freelancer to hold the money in escrow and make sure the work actually got done. In the agent economy, that is a bottleneck.

Every transaction now has a client, a provider, and an evaluator. The Evaluator is the secret sauce, it’s an address (could be another AI or a ZK-circuit) that confirms the work is good before the money is released.

Because this is on-chain, an AI’s track record isn't locked in. If an agent is a great coder, its completed job history follows it everywhere. This means it need not start from zero trust. If the bot doesn't deliver, the contract auto refunds. There is no customer support tickets or charge backs.

Very curious to know how this will work for qualitative works? Let me know what you think.

Quero incluir uma nova regra no sub que eu faço a moderação

A few days ago, the Great Orange declared that the Iran war was won, he also stated he didn’t need the UK showing up to a war that was already won. A little over an hour ago he said it’s not a war, only Iran thinks that and, he’s hearing from news reports that it’s ’been won’. Those words came out of ONE single person on the planet, then he said: ‘it’s not over until we’ve won’ am I going fucking insane here??? Where can I post to get some clarity on this?

Ich plane über Themen,wie Depression,Selbstwert/hass/zweifel,Trauma,Beziehungen,ADHS und co zu reden.

Ich bin 22 und studiere Psychologie. Mein eigener Weg war ziemlich geprägt von Krisen und schweren,dunklen Zeiten und Themen. Depression,Angststörung,Trauma,Esstörung etc. Was mir schon als Kind Rettung gegeben hat war analysieren und Selbstreflexion. Daher bin ich darin nun sehr gut. Außerdem am Leben gehalten hat mich das Schreiben und Reden,daher versuche ich mich an Poetrys Podcasts und co.

Aus all dem was ich erfahren habe,möchte ich Licht machen und Nährwert und studiere deswegen Psychologie.

Ich möchte Fragen sammeln,vorweg es gibt für mich keine Triggerfragen/Themen,ich bin ehrlich und ungeschönt für mich ist keine Frage unangenehm,zu viel,oder sonst was.

Themen:

Depression

ADHS

Trauma

Hello everyone. I would like to know why we prefer high voltage low current to gain similar power than let's say low voltage high current. What difference it makes and why voltage is preferred than current

the us is in 38 trillion worth of debt. why would any country loan out money to a country with 38 trillion of debt? they have basically a 0% chance of getting paid back.

When there’s a huge problem/danger in front of us, we often panic. But that seems counter productive. After so many years of evolution how is panic the default response?

AJ was who you order when you can’t order Patrick Wilson. It’s like someone tried to draw him but purely from memory - and ended up with Holly’s boyfriend.

So i was reading about the Channel Tunnel and apparently parts of it sit like 75 meters below the seabed and i cannot wrap my head around how that physically works long term. Like okay you drill through rock and build a tube, fine. But the sea is constantly sitting on top of it, the ground shifts, water finds cracks in literally everything given enough time.

How do engineers account for that. Is it a material thing, a pressure thing, a constant maintenance thing or some combination of all three. And what happens when something does start leaking, is there an actual plan for that or is it just "hope it doesnt"

Also i read that boring through certain types of ground is way more unpredictable than others and they had to basically change the whole approach mid project on the Chunnel because of unexpected geology. How do you even budget and plan for something like that when the ground itself can surprise you halfway through. I have some money saved that I eventually want to do a trip through it but now im just spiraling trying to understand how the thing even exists

The more i look into it the more it feels like the whole thing shouldnt work at all and yet here we are with trains doing 140mph under the ocean

I thought about this while walking city blocks and going one north, one west, one north and so on. In this case the distance I would travel is equivalent to A + B in the Pythagorean theorem.

If we were to take the same distance and shrink the city blocks to as small of squares as possible, why would the distance still be A+B and not C?

Assume the turns can be made effortlessly/time is negligent just the distance matters

Looking for a subreddit to find friends or potentially someone for long term. Any recommendations?

I’m rewatching season 6 right now, and my hot take is that Michael was actually the one in the right about the angry crowd of investors and the 45 day plan.

The goal of that Q&A with investors was first and foremost, to calm uncertainty around the company’s financial outlook. Everyone who intelligently invests in the stock market knows that the short term value of any stock is pure psychology and has very little to do with actual returns or company performance. So, it’s logical to assume that getting that crowd of investors feeling good about the company and excited by the idea of continuing to hold the stock and (even buy more) instead of panic selling, should’ve been the goal of that board.

The CEO, CFO, and that senator all brought a nice PowerPoint with a bunch of nice metrics and future company plans, but the crowd wasn’t buying any of it. Michael was the only one who could get them to put aside their anger, and even if he didn’t have a true 45 day plan, that’s the hidden genius of Michael Scott:

“Sometimes I’ll start a sentence, and I don’t even know where it’s going, I just hope I find it along the way.”

Michael understood better than anyone up there that selling is about meeting people where they’re at, and making them feel good about their choice. That crowd wasn’t angry because Dundee Mifflin was in a declining industry with lagging sales behind competitors, they understood that when they bought the stock. They were angry because they felt like the company’s leadership was about to lose all their money. Michael was the only one who didn’t try to lecture them about why they were wrong to be upset, instead, he was the only one who stood up and said, “Yep, this is all horrible, but don’t worry, we’re gonna fix it.”

That board could’ve gone into the break and come up with anything at all for that outline, and as long as it ended with “company saved” the crowd would’ve walked away feeling energized about the future, and probably would’ve held the stock at least for a little bit longer. But their egos got the best of them, and then they all got fired.

Over the past few years working in tech I started experiencing a kind of burnout that slowly crept up on me.

For a while I had this vague feeling that something in my life wasn’t quite right, but I couldn’t really explain what it was. My brain just wouldn’t shut off anymore. Even after work I was still thinking about things. Sleep got worse, my neck and shoulders were always tight, and I started getting headaches more often, like pretty much every single day.

Eventually I decided to step away from work for a while and take a break.

During that time (last year) I tried a few things I normally wouldn’t have tried before — meditation, sound healing, things like that. At some point I also spent some time in Jingdezhen, which is known as the porcelain capital of China.

While I was there I tried working with clay for the first time. What surprised me was how different it felt. When you're sitting at the wheel trying to shape something, you really can’t rush it. Your hands are messy and your attention is just on this one small thing in front of you.

After a while I noticed my mind actually got quieter.

I also started noticing small things again — sitting in the sun, walking around the streets in Jingdezhen, eating simple food, sleeping really deeply at night. It’s funny how something as simple as working with clay can bring you back into the present a little bit.

Sharing a few photos from that time (sorry turns out this subreddit does not allow sharing photos). Hope you all can also find peace in playing with mud!

Just a random thought I had getting into a hot car. How do they prevent too much air getting past when the metal shrinks when its cold, or from seizing up when it expands from heat?

As the title says, I haven't really connected with people, and I'm not sure whether I've ever done. This is a bit of a disaster post, because it's a disaster in my head.

I know I should care for people: they've shown loyalty, they have done nothing wrong, I have fun with them, they're good people... So I do what I know is caring for someone. I still have thoughts of disgust, wishing it was over, disconnection when we are not together. ​I don't really miss people? I'm not sure what I feel when they leave, as long as it was on good terms. I dislike arguing, but when there's clarity? I don't miss people. I can not talk to my family or friends for months, I do because I know it brings them comfort (although low self-esteem plays here I think, because I struggle to understand why do they feel like that, why would anyone miss me, but that's how it works so I keep on doing it because it works). I miss when I want to experience something specific again or want someone that had the context that person had, but that can't be loving or caring, right? That's so conditional and objectifying it'd disgust me that's all there is for love.

However, I think I'm capable of love. As pathetic as it sounds, I feel love towards characters, and I've felt love before towards partners, even though now I know it was a normal level of care which seemed like love at the time. I also don't know the difference between platonic and romantic love. ​​

The point is, I keep on performing care almost as a logical thing. But inside, I actually dislike a lot of people and traits, but keep on being friends because they have not done anything to make them otherwise. I also don't connect with my own feelings in general, when I cry I don't understand why, my mind is clear even though I was feeling sad or angry or whatever a moment ago. I don't know how to explain it.

Im aware I'm a bit on the spectrum, and I probably have depression and other related issues. Not sure about CPTSD. I still want to solve this, I want to be able to feel love, it's very dishonest to perform it when some people should have the real thing. And it's very annoying to perform all day.

I can't go to a therapist. I'm not asking for a magical solution, just a way to solve it as best as I can on my own​

Last week I accidentally cut a chunk off the top of my thumb joint, (it really hurt!) and it has been fascinating to watch the skin gradually heal itself. If my body is able to heal itself by recreating a chunk of finger why isn’t it able to recreate an entire severed finger?

Is there a subreddit where people can find other people's instagrams or ways to contact them? I'm not a creep, just someone who's trying to thank a person who made their day.

In which /r can I share my life with the good and the bad sides?

Lately I’ve been looking for subreddits that are a bit more thought-provoking and reflective.

Not necessarily debate or argument subs, but places where people share experiences or ideas that make you pause and really think about life, human nature, or the way we see the world.

For example, posts where people talk about:

-Life lessons they learned the hard way

-Moments that completely changed their perspective

-Psychological insights about how people think or behave

-Stories that make you reflect on your own life

-Deep or philosophical questions about everyday life

trying to find it, i think it was fakepixels but nothing showed up when i searched it

I used to be a really good writer, and when I apply myself, I can still produce good work and learn a lot. But over the course of college, I’ve developed an unhealthy reliance on AI.

At first, I used it for things that felt genuinely helpful, like generating practice tests or case studies. Then I started using it to generate flashcards. That still felt somewhat productive, but I know part of the benefit of flashcards is actually writing them yourself.

From there, it escalated. I started having AI help lay out essays and presentations. Eventually, I used it to write some “non-essential” papers... You know, the kinds of classes that don’t really add much except another requirement you have to pay for to get your degree. You can probably see where this is going.

I’ve tried to pull back, but the habit has gotten pretty bad. I’m currently in the long, difficult (and expensive) process of being evaluated for ADHD, and my brain often feels like it just can’t pull things together on its own. It’s like AI is representing knowledge that I know I have, but can’t organize or express when I need to.

The frustrating part is that I know I’m capable. When I really apply myself, I can still write and think well. It just feels like everything is so busy, and my brain has gotten used to outsourcing the work.

I’m about to graduate and will be starting graduate school soon, and I really want to break this habit before then. Lately, I genuinely feel like I’m getting “dumber,” even though I know that probably isn’t actually what’s happening.

Does anyone have advice on how to rebuild these skills?

I’d especially love suggestions like: writing or study prompts I could work on over the summer, books that helped you improve focus or thinking, strategies for rebuilding writing and learning habits, ways to improve short-term memory and recall, etc.

Basically, I want to start using my brain fully again before grad school starts.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Pros, cons, and examples, please

Found smth I really like on pinterest, but I hate how much stuff is uncredited over there. I want to find the original artist, but looking up their watermark isn't working, and neither is image search, as I'm just given a bunch of different pinterest searches/tags that'll also pull up that same image.

I dunno, reddit is full of experts on THE most random things, so... thought I'd try my luck here.

Edit: Found it! It was in the directory, n it's called r/CreditToTheArtist . Cool!

my partner stopped smoking weed almost a year ago now. heavy addiction.

since fhen, the fatigue has only gotten worse, not able to stay away through the day, making him miserable. how do i help?

i don’t want him to get back into it, and he’s not as far as currently. what do i say as advice, what can i buy for him to help?

thank you.

I used to love being at home, but I spent a lot of time at home recovering from a surgery about 2 years ago and since then I've felt the need to get out of the house almost every day, even when I need to stay home to get school work or chores done. I always want to just go to Starbucks to get a drink and maybe work there for a couple hours, or just bring it home, or go get lunch and bring it home, but it's gotten too expensive and I'm spending too much money on things like that. I'd like to just stay home and get busy and maybe go on a walk in the mornings, but I don't *really* want to do that. Getting out feels as though it has become a coping mechanism or distraction for something and it feels wrong to not leave the house in a day now. How can I become more comfortable just making my coffee at home and just start working?

Is there one where you can learn how to be a good listener/how to respond when people are venting?

Specifically im rlly bad at handling people when they are sad or angry so i want to find a community with other people like me to learn how to be better at comforting others.

I know the general health advice, but I feel like just drinking more just makes me use the bathroom more. Am I being inefficient drinking more water when I just have a desk job?

So which is it did Charles deliberately set a vague task with no instruction for Jim as either a motivational or power move over him or is Jim just complacent and should already know? Always wondered about the dynamic with the rundown, sorry if this has been discussed before but you know, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take"... Bonus points for any real life office workers who can explain what a run down is.

I have made SO many posts like this. I’m in therapy and all I really got is to try and challenge negative thoughts or say “STOP” when thinking such thoughts. My therapist says I’ve made some progress, even if it’s little.

The one thing I’m doing besides that is trying to go to bed by 11:30 PM, or at least around that time. I workout, too, so that’s good.

That’s cool and all, but the thing that I don’t know how to fix, is this lack of enthusiasm or ambition. I just don’t seem to care enough. I feel like at university, I am surrounded by people my age who have something they really want, people who want to do things like host a club or whatever. I don’t feel inclined to be big. It seems that the most I want is a good job, a nice place to live, money left over to have fun, and time to myself for my hobbies. Sometimes I find myself saying I want to be happy.

There’s advice like “no one is coming to save you,” or “would you rather be depressed or successful,” or other lines like that. These don’t seem to ignite anything within me, it’s like trying to light a wet match or something or wet wood.

I have one new interest that I would like to pursue, though it’s not useful to careers or life. That and meditation, which I’ve been struggling to get onto, so I’ll write that one down since I think writing goals can make them more achievable.

I think what I’m looking for is to actually give a shit. I don’t think I ever really gave a shit about success (I don’t like saying that). I should probably also mention that I recently wondered if I felt like life was a burden.

Should I stop searching for drive or will? Am I overestimating everyone around me? Maybe plenty of people around me aren’t as go-getter as I think they are?

New account for privacy, which subreddit is best for getting REALISTIC advice on my 401k progress?

I ask realistic advice, as I see a lot of subreddits tend to have advice for people making 6 or 7 figures, just flaunting wealth, and I'm looking for a more down to earth community. Any suggestions are appreciated!

ELI5: trying to pick an article to write a paper on for environmental economics.

r/instagram didn't let me. I can't find where to do so. It's just a question about what I should do it I want an account that isnt connected and something like that.

hi guys, so when I try to make a video or something my video is always super weird(It's very pixelated) , it's like that since I got my new monitor (ASUS ROG OLED 280 hz 2560x1440) and it's only like that when I move ingame. So yeah let me know if you know anything to fix it :) and also it looks normal in obs but when I check my folder and watch the video it's like that or when I try to live stream.

I tried posting on r/AmIOverreacting but my post had too much sexual content and r/RelationshipAdvice I couldn’t have the questions I wanted to ask and I would really rather not have to change my post so is there a subreddit for what I’m looking for?

Pretty much exactly what the title says 😂 I’m looking for a Subreddit that talks about problems that other people have experienced in certain Subreddits. So is there one?

Four months ago, I broke up with my ex. We were going through a rough patch but from their perspective, it was nothing we hadn't gone through before. I completely blindsided and discarded them (a term I didn't learn until after the relationship ended). I was holding onto built-up resentment from the past that I was dismissing for years because most of the hurt/pain/fear/stress I felt was the result of things they did when they were in a bad mental state.

I never wanted to hold their actions against them because I understood where their pain was coming from. I was their main support system for the majority of our relationship - for the first year or so, they were refusing to seek care. I knew on some level that I didn't have the capacity to handle things on my own and I expressed that to them, but I felt selfish for ever seeing their pain as inconvenient to me, so I rarely pushed. even when I was at a breaking point, I kept forgiving them and saying I was okay/we were okay. I wasn't honest with them or myself. And eventually, the repressed feelings built up and I ended things right after they finally sought help.

Now that I'm recognizing the extent of my avoidance, I see the breakup for what it is: I felt like I was doing so much work to keep them afloat and they weren't doing as much for me. But the truth was that I wasn't doing more work, I was just suppressing more of myself in order to do the work.

I shut down so badly that I left someone who was so deeply unwell 4 days after taking them to the hospital. I triggered their fear of abandonment and completely broke their trust. It's taken months for me fully reflect on my role without finding ways to blame them for my shut down. I'm now disgusted with myself and I no longer can see myself as a good person.

It's still recent and the shame is still strong which I think is good because I'm acknowledging the harm I caused and recognizing the ways that I've acted out of line with my own morals. But there's nothing I can do to repair it with them now. They want nothing to do with me and I don't blame them.

How do you live with yourself knowing you've caused someone you loved so much this type of harm? Especially now that it's far too late for repair?

It is more direct, less mistakes and misinterpretation on the way and can benefit both sides

Edit a lot of posts say pharmacists are specialists in medicine and can take note of the interactions. However most of the times they seem to not know the conditions of the patients. So they know you are suffering from BAM or stroke? What is causing you pain? Do they consult you for five or ten minutes like the doctor? Then how are they better at prescribing you medications?

Adam would have killed it as Jim.

I picked up the habit of smoking weed when I was 21 during a really unhappy time in my life. I was miserable with my marriage, my family relationships, and honestly with myself. At the time I felt trapped in my situation and extremely depressed. Weed was the only thing that gave me any sense of relief or happiness, and it stopped me from sinking even deeper into my depression.

Fast forward to now — I just turned 28 and my life is very different. I’ve worked really hard to fix the things that were making me so unhappy back then. My life is objectively much better now.

But the problem is that my weed use has gotten worse than ever.

Before we moved, I was working a full-time job and I actually managed to keep my weed use somewhat controlled. I would only smoke in the evenings or before bed, and I never smoked during the day.

Over the past year though, it really spiraled. My husband and I moved to a different state so he could pursue a job opportunity, and I decided to take a year to be a stay-at-home wife. Looking back, I honestly feel like I shouldn’t have done that. Having that much free time and access to THC pens made things spiral out of control.

I was basically high 24/7. The pens made it way too easy. I would hit them constantly throughout the day and just exist in this dissociated fog. I felt like a zombie most of the time.

For the past year I barely even get high anymore because my tolerance is so high, but I kept chasing it anyway. I kept smoking bowls, taking edibles, and buying high-THC pens trying to feel something. It got to the point where my tolerance was completely out of control. I’m talking about taking multiple 100 mg edibles in a night just to feel something, or smoking 2–3 bowls just to feel high for maybe half an hour before it faded.

In the process I completely wrecked my throat. I developed a smoker’s cough and I just feel physically awful all the time. I also feel like my skin is starting to show the effects of all this smoking. I look more tired, dull, and just not like myself anymore, and that realization has been really upsetting.

It got to the point where I became completely obsessed with it. Because I couldn’t get high anymore, it was constantly on my mind. I couldn’t think about or focus on anything else. I can’t eat without it. I can’t sleep without it. I can’t enjoy food or anything without it.

When I first started smoking, weed used to numb my emotions and mellow me out. Back then I was unhappy, so that numbness felt comforting. But now it’s different. Now it just feels like I’m stuck in this fog where I can’t really feel anything, and that scares me.

I want to actually feel things again. I want to stand outside and feel the wind in my hair and actually experience it. I want to feel my emotions — even the difficult ones — instead of living in this numb haze.

I also quit smoking nicotine cold turkey about a month ago. I had been pairing nicotine with weed the whole time. Two weeks ago I also quit using weed carts because they started giving me an asthmatic cough and a really aggressive repetitive cough that made me feel horrible. I’ve had that cough for about six weeks now. It is slowly improving, but I have really bad health anxiety and keep convincing myself that I’m dying.

When that panic hits, it makes me want to smoke weed just to escape the fear for a little while. But then I snap out of it and immediately think to myself that I just did more damage and made things worse.

The worst part is the guilt. I cry almost every day about how much money I’ve spent on it and how much control it has over me. I’m married and my husband has no idea about my weed use. I live in constant fear that he’ll find out. I even have dreams about getting caught.

Two days ago I quit smoking weed completely, but the withdrawals are brutal. I’m dealing with vomiting, diarrhea, cold sweats, and my mental health feels really unstable right now.

What makes it even harder is that I have no one to talk to about it. No one in my life knows I’m addicted. Going through withdrawals while pretending everything is normal is exhausting.

My mind is a really dark place at the moment. The cravings and the withdrawals are intense and it’s honestly scary how badly my brain wants to go back to smoking just to escape how I feel right now. But I know I can’t go back. I can’t keep living like that. I can’t go back to smoking weed.

I just want to get through this and feel like myself again whoever myself I don't remember her anymore.

I just couldn't imagine being sad and angry all the time just because of multiple events. But I have just learnt so much from being stupid and at first I was angry, I wanted revenge, I wanted something to happen to them. But it wasn't worth it, I have to protect my own peace, I have to be strong enough. I can't believe I spent these past few days just being tortured and brimming with anger. But all I want to do right now is just be kind, because the world does need gentleness. I was kind before that incident, and I will continue being kind. I will however stop being a doormat.

In Venezuela, gasoline is cheaper than water. This is because oil is abundant. In west Texas oil is also abundant, yet gasoline is not cheaper, not in Texas nor anywhere in the Permian Basin. Why does it not work like this?

I didn’t realize how much my anxiety was quietly shaping my life. For a long time I thought anxiety was just something happening in my head. But looking back now, it was influencing almost everything.. my decisions, work, money, relationships. I spent years trying to “fix” it. New therapists, new techniques, new approaches. Something would help for a while and then the cycle would start again. What actually started changing things for me was learning to understand the patterns behind it. Once I started noticing the triggers, how the thoughts spiral, and how my body reacts, things slowly began to shift. Anxiety didn’t magically disappear, but it stopped running my life the way it used to.

Hello,

I have none of the qualities above. I’m very weak minded, act like a victim sometimes like the the world is out to get me and just don’t believe in myself. I have goals but no matter how small or big they are, I never accomplish them. It’s getting worse. I’m 26 and a doctor.

Im receptive to any advice, any books, any pieces of work, quotes or anecdotes.

I’m very lost.

I’m in my second semester of college and I really need to make new friends, but I have social anxiety and bad social skills. I don’t really like the couple of friends that I have right now because they never text me first, reach out, or put in effort to stay in touch. The one friend who does reach out to me and the one I’m closest with is someone I often end up getting really annoyed with. I want to make a lot of new friends, but at the same time it feels like everyone already has their own friend groups and doesn’t really want to be friends with anyone new. I’m also scared to be the one approaching people and starting conversations first. It also feels like even if I do meet new people they will only end up being acquaintances and never turn into genuine friends. I feel like people don't really like me either cause I'm very awkward. I honestly don’t know what to do, and I really want to have close friends and a nice social life.

I don’t want to repost it again lol but the post summary is “My girlfriend’s ex keeps asking her to run away with him… should I tell his wife?”

I posted in the relationship advise sub and they sent me to AITAH sub, but inside AITAH they told me it would be better to post on an advice sub. Anyone know where I could post this to get the best advise possible?

It's a long story but my photo album with the only pics I have from my teenage years i the 90s (that I sometimes miss with the fire if a 1000 suns) through a full cycle in my grandmother's washing machine. Can someone please remove the scratches and damage from thes photos of me and my best friends from school? It would mean THE WORLD to me. I've tried AI and Lightroom but it sucks. 😢
