I have anxiety and have always had it and my entire childhood was a catastrophe but we are good now. The good news is that I can cope with it (no fs given no matter the circumstance) and for the most part it works out because I’m passionate about my work.
However I have worked with ppl who cannot manage their anxiety and stress and I consider myself very lucky to not be in their situation. Those guys are troopers.
That’s like sub-bronze level of sc2 understanding and yes I like the meme
I know that this is a male pov but seriously that is also an L for the lady. Can’t be throwing hints and expect everyone to be Mr hint getter
Simply don’t have any of those garbage apps on your phone ? Oh wait you wont. Keep using x and tiktok and whatever depression machine comes next.
“did you know that when it comes to x it’s actually a myth and y is how it actually is… Or wait is y the myth”
It’s not something to feel bad about it was just a defining moment at made me understand that despite being born there and living through my childhood it’s not my home and these ppl aren’t my people
I speak Spanish, I have a fairly basic level of fluency but don’t live there. People understand me and I can hold conversations but they call me gringo and they are not “nice” or welcoming about it.
I have very little attachments to where I’m from so that was the last straw for me. I don’t identify culturally with where I’m from anymore.
I don’t have a perfect hairline so having that extra length just gives more styling options without looking my age
At least Winsock is a real term
Same, 2 on sides 3 inches off the top, sometimes it’s “leave 2-3 inches on the top”
Shout out to the real ones who help our boy Jack overcome his anxiety by being there for him
Then came a tapping gently rapping followed be incessant yapping: “use vim” … nevermore
Hey, it’s me. I work on webshit. I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused.
Sometimes I think about how much frustration this app generated in terms of degrees (of separation, but think of pain)
One user must have felt so much frustration that he had to take it out on someone and so on. It’s like a dimension of hell emerged and exists on the webshit.
Huge Lain vibes, was Lain perhaps a technomage?
For a second my mind guessed “you mages all make the same queries … SELECT UPDATE DELETE”
Millions of skilled labourers probably like this exist across the globe with talent and skill beyond anything we could even imagine.
Still the same stinky Bethesda engine I bet. Same stinky bugs, just like starfield.
I can feel the fish guiding my hand when I create vim macros
I think I have strong mindfulness, I actively do not think about work or things like “what ifs” by forcing myself not to
I always try to remember that doing something is rewarding even if the anxiety makes you scared of doing it. My self talk works for me and it might not work for you but I think to myself “wtf are you going to do all day if you don’t do the thing you wanted to do”.
So in summary: practice mindfulness, find a way to self talk and support yourself, remember when you were anxious but tried something and enjoyed it
