I play as women. I find the models more attractive and the voice acting pleasant. Not in a sexual way, I just don’t like male models and voices. They don’t give a whole lot of variety which is unfair. Male night elves in wow could at least have pretty hair but their shoulders were massive so nope.

I would say always be able to support yourself.
You can help your parents if you want, but always be able to stand on your own. Otherwise you are vulnerable to victimization. Think…is it those very same parents who threaten you with homelessness if you have any independence? That will be held over you forever. I’d quietly work towards independent living while not causing a conflict.

“Is your therapist a chat bot?”

I love eating but I hate buying food.

Having allergies prob saved me from experiencing less socially acceptable recreations. I still have a Benadryl from time to time. For my allergies.

I get it, it’s obnoxious and annoying, bereft of deep thought or courtesy. Qualities the senders must possess. But I could go the rest of my life without seeing unsolicited genitals tbh.

Have to teach the child (grown adult should have self control and understanding of portion size) healthy eating habits.

I make one grocery trip a week so I’m not dealing with all that.

Love cherry blossoms. Thankfully we have lots of them and crabapples in New England. Beautiful and makes the early spring tolerable.

I knew some with dead parents, a few in jail, a couple “call the police on sight” and plenty of abandonment… Life really isn’t fucking fair. I know it is a joke but it definitely is a privileged one.

“Older, can afford to see why the check engine light is on”

They’ve been to the store and seen the 4 dollar bread and eight dollar cereal, I reckon.

I don’t post there anymore but the only time it felt like I was talking to real people was on my small state sub. That’s the only reason I even lurk. Since I’m banned from Facebook it’s the only place to get the tea.

No preference, every session has a purpose. I hope people don’t feel guilty about being real with their providers. That’s what providers are for.

Mine are little anyway but the point is the same. If we have a big feelings day, so be it .

Oh absolutely. My industry is has a big shortage in practitioners.

In an adjacent field.

So…in those instances I do what you did. I don’t really let it in…I take notes of it like it’s not happening to me at all in my head. Then I report. I put it in its little box of “work bullshit” and leave it there. It gets easier with years imo.

What you have to exercise caution with is unsupportive admin. In that case I advise not putting your license on the line for their convenience.

My current company was kind enough to give a dropdown menu of reasons. I just chose one, no questions were asked.

Cheese flavored things, and pickles

I think this boils down to trust and emotional security. You build this rapport over time with one another. Rather than learning not to make a sound, which is another topic itself …

Yep. These are scripts. I have…a few that bop around in my head.

“Be kind, rewind”

And “It’s time to start asking yourself the big questions (insert my current stupid dilemma)”

And a couple based on Orc Peon dialog from WoW which I am too embarrassed to even type but I never say any of these in front of others anyway.

This is fine.

I can afford an attic??
