You think it hasn’t crossed their mind already? The urgency is the point. They need to tell others they are in distress

You can’t just be left in that state, it gets worse and worse. And if it’s a brain tumor, which could cause many of those symptoms, speed is survival.

I get what you’re saying, but sometimes “it could be a brain tumor” is the brain worm that makes you push through when your family initially dismisses your symptoms

The headaches? No idea. Never had paranoia either.

But I just managed to get treatment for a crippling anxiety disorder, I spent 6 months pacing or crying into the corner

Your description sounds a lot like how I was before my family realized how bad on a way I was. It sounds like major anxiety disorder plus plus

It could also be a brain tumor or something else to. And it can’t wait too long

You need to get help, get your people, tell them you’re not ok, and let them help you. Call all of em. Scream it out that you ain’t ok

I am in distress. There’s nothing undignified about it. Let those who care about you pick up the call. Let strangers pick up the call

Keep screaming. I am not ok! I require assistance!

All else fails, go to the ER, they have to help you. But do the rest first, everyone has some kind of people. In a way I’m of your people, so I answered, best I can, how to call it out better

They can share details, just not your details. And if the details they share reveal a connection to your identity, they fucked up

Definitely, we’re all way more sensitive to stimuli.

All you can really do is do something to distract yourself, medicated cough drops are great too, the numbing kind. Just don’t overuse them, mix them in with the kind with no active ingredients if you need to

Feel better

Well put

You usually can’t get pregnant in your 80’s lol

You want to stay home. Let the FOMO drain from your body

One. It’s the same life, otherwise you could save infinite lives by care taking for a suicidal octogenarian

How does it break down? It seems like it would work normally, if a little strangely

I use the sensation as a reminder throughout the day

Yeah, it’s untenable. It’s a bubble

They are sometimes? It’s just gene and expressions. You can be short and wide just like you can be tall and wide, it be either and be slender

I wear a slightly pinching ear cuff that reminds me to stop pretending, personally

Understandable, but it’s something to work towards. Talk to people you know about it, you’d be surprised how opportunities come out of the woodwork

It will take time, you can either go to networking events to try to speed it up or keep chugging away in a sustainable fashion in the meantime

Of course they are, they’re full and doing great lol

I might be starting one soon with mostly family… It’s a long shot, but I’d interview you then the time comes if you want. No promises

Find a partner. It can be a person, it can be a small business that might be interested in selling your software… You need at least one partner

You could try to take out a business loan or keep grinding as a side hustle, but if you don’t know how to build a product (and I don’t mean architecture) you need someone who does

And I say it as someone who has come to that realization the hard way

Let me break this down real simple.

Everyone likes boobies. Literally all humans, even gay men and straight women, find them asthetically pleasing

The women bouncing around are complaining about their shirts. They don’t feel pretty, they feel creeped out

Don’t fucking drive them out… Are you insane? Let them pick their own shirts. They’re still going to want to look pretty. Stop making it weird

All you need to do is give them autonomy. That’s it. That would make it positive for everyone involved

But that’s exactly what’s happening here. The women in question are saying “I’m uncomfortable”

So now we don’t go “okay, but just make sure you stay fun to look at”

What we do is say “that’s not good, let’s give you agency over the situation so you can show off what you’re comfortable with”

The men just move around less, their plays are tighter and more rehearsed looking, but I just don’t find that very interesting. I don’t really care if you can perfectly spike the ball to the optimal place every time and they can recover and do the same until someone messes up the sequence

But women’s volleyball is full of movement. It doesn’t look rehearsed, the teams look coordinated. They’ll pass the ball around while they prepare and then suddenly surge towards the net for a spike/to block the spike

The intensity ebbs and flows, and it’s unpredictable when it’s going to happen

Most women enjoy being beautiful, and there is no downside so long as people aren’t taking it to crazy lengths.

When the women you’re looking at are saying “I’m uncomfortable with this”, you’ve taken it too far

It’s not that hard buddy. They’re people, they can talk
