I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with your psychologist.
If I can point out one thing that might help you is that these thoughts largely come from an evolutionary trait called Negative Bias
Negative Bias is the disproportionate focus on bad events and/or memories compared to good events.
It applies to a large range of memories and our ability to perceive danger. Evolutionary it makes sense because our embarrassing memories makes us afraid or unwilling to behave in a way that the social group doesn't like.
You can imagine when humans lived in societies in small groups of 30 people, that disrespecting someone could get you kicked out of the group and potentially starve to death in the wild. So there is a very strong evolutionary pressure that made your brain evolve to avoid repeating bad scenarios
Your constant embarrassing, sad, or traumatic memories are your brain reminding you over and over not to be in that situation again.
Unfortunately your brain didn't evolve to be happy. It evolved to survive.
All I wanted to explain is that these memories are not your fault. Don't feel like you're any different because you have bad memories constantly. Accept that your brain will do what it is programmed to do and learn how to work around those tendencies.
And I could recommend trying another psychologist. I'm also available to chat if you'd like. Cheers 🙂
That's a great comment. I go though basically the same steps with my constant flow of embarrassing and/or sad memories
If they're useful then maybe I should explore this thought for a little longer, or try to speak with someone
If I have nothing to gain from it and it's just making me cringe or sad I try to do something else to distract myself
It's important to not shut these memories down immediately. Some memories really need to be explored in order for you to properly leave them in the past. And you can bottle up a bunch of emotions if you refuse to think about thoughts that come to you constantly.
Yup, but that's all you have right now
I'd argue the senile old man is MUCH better
America best country in the world am I right??
It's a meme. It's just trying to say that Biden is embarrassing and/or a bad candidate
His party dropping him would only guarantee that trump is elected. It would be a dumb move and it obviously won't happen.
You might not like Biden, but against a twice impeached, insurrectionist felon, I would vote for Biden every time
I would also vote lettuce against Trump.
But I'm voting Joe to keep that orange imbecile away
The context doesn't make a difference
In base 10 --> 1/3 is 0.333...
In base 12 --> 1/3 is 0.4
But they're both the same number.
Base 10 simply is not capable of displaying it in a concise format. We could say that this is a notation issue. No notation is perfect. Base 10 has some confusing implications
Divide 1 by 3: 1÷3=0.3333...
Multiply the result by 3 reverting the operation: 0.3333... x 3 = 0.9999.... or just 1
0.9999... = 1
Can you provide a source on that?
Japan historically has some of the most demanding work cultures in the world. This news seems wrong to me.
Yes, fruits. But not vegetables overall. Animal skin has vitamin C. So it's possible to acquire it with a meat diet depending on what you eat.
Of course you can fill this gap with citrus fruits. C it's not a big problem nowadays since there are fruits easily available. Historically tribes that lived in ICU areas had to eat the animal skin and organs to have enough vitamins. Maybe that part was too specific and unnecessary
You decide. Please do whatever is healthy to you and Minimize your carbon production as best as you can.
Going vegan is not right for everyone. With any vegan/vegetarian diet it's important to make sure you're eating enough proteins, iron and vitamin C. These are the 3 main components of meat that are not found on most common vegetables.
Please take care of yourself, pay attention to your diet and consult with a nutritionist if you feel indisposed after switching to a new diet.
They have a regular spicy ramen, which is more spicy than what most people can take, and then there's 2x, double the amount of chilly from the regular one. And the 3x you can guess what it is.
I've had the 2x before and it's uncomfortably hot but my criticism is that the overall taste of this brand of ramen is not that great.
Archeology does not build infrastructure to make people's lives easier but neither does any form of entertainment like Cinema, Music, Theater, Museums and others.
Medicine law and engineering are wonderful jobs, and necessary to live. But Art, History, Philosophy and Music are things we live for
It's fine if you're not a fan of it, but it's quite childish to think certain things are of less value because you personally don't like it.
Can you consider moving to a better place? I understand you might have things going you down but it's good to evaluate your options
I know you have good intentions, but I just want to point that animals getting killed is part of the natural cycle and it happens in the wilderness literally millions of times a day.
That's the worst argument towards veganism.
The two best arguments in my opinion are: the meat industry produces a ton of CO2, and we could feed more people with the same amount of land.
I'm not entirely in support of veganism since I think that some animal protein is essential for the average person's diet. But I certainly agree with the 2 reasons above.
