The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Notes -
I know it might sound like I'm doing poorly, but I'm actually not doing poorly. I sometimes get sad, sure, who doesn't? But avoiding thinking about sad stuff or anything heavy like fears that I will die alone and un-romanced did wonders for me up until now. The only reason I wrote any of that out was to paint a picture for everyone to give me actually good advice on what to do with myself romantically, because it will be difficult without some strategy to go for. Will liberal atheist women accept me? How can I accept them without harming myself so much? After writing it, I think it might be stupid to even think about it at all, and just try to go for many women and see who works out. If she loves me, then she will be okay with talking the sexual hangups all out with me. Or, perhaps, I will rapidly make her unattracted to me by becoming emotional. Either way, I do appreciate your request to DM. I don't actually have any more sad things to say.
Ahh yeah. As I said in one comment, learn to partner dance. Did wonders for me.
