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 recently got triggered by a scene in a book where an extremely socially awkward academically gifted nerd catches his cute and smart crush accompanying the queen bee hoe on the way to have a threesome with their mentor. I might have had one night stands and group sex, or had the best compliment of my life be that my something broke it off by writing how she had found a good, proper boy and I was too wild for her, or nowadays be unable to even imagine a crush on the opponent sex. Still inside I always will be that character whose crush would find the very notion of seeing him as a sexual being as ridiculous and very much would rather be in the harem of a desirable man.
Plus I've gained years and weight, lost hair and money (a lot). And after reflection I think I was wrong when I wrote in the previous thread that attracting them with personality feels the same as attracting them with money. It feels much worse. At least money is honest.
Happy New Year.
On my honeymoon, my wife and I made edibles for the first time as a wedding gift for my wife, and I got destructively high and we watched the musical Chicago on VHS, and I was so stoned that the dancers fascinated me, and I remember thinking to myself "Wow, it would really suck to live in this culture and see this stuff and never get laid."
