I feel like I use this social media platform a lot. It's funny to think of this place as "social" media given the nature of its content. So, it's kind of addictive, and thus, may be counterproductive to my productivity. I might need to lessen my frequency of reading and making posts. 🤔 :cry:

Sounds like you've got it figured out. Go ahead and ask them. :)

I personally would ask them if they would be weirded out by it. I assume they would be okay with it if you are close. If someone I was close to wanted to initial my first name into a tattoo, I would be flattered (so long as it wasn't a tattoo of an anus, or located on their anus). However, the...

Get her a chunk of coal. Maybe she'll enjoy solving that mystery.

Nice banner picture! Didn't realize we could do that now.

I member a time when there were far more.

Oh boy anxiety!

Interesting point. I also value honesty and integrity, but I always feel like I can easily step over the line if I'm too honest. Therefore I tend to censor myself a lot. Though I guess this isn't "people pleasing" necessarily, where I'm trying to gain a person's approval; it's just meant to...

Though I think it's given me some insight into how to not parent. Hopefully I can raise my future children more thoughtfully than my own did.

Thanks man. I attribute quite a bit of my insecurity regarding my intelligence to him.

My dad was kind of abusive growing up. Frequent verbals put downs and "light" beatings from time to time. I wonder if this is where my people pleasing started. I always felt I wasn't good enough for him growing up.

Do you think that maybe you can ever change?

If I feel like someone doesn't like me, I get almost obsequious with them. I guess I try to get on their good side. Why? It's not even necessary. And it never works. Maybe I'm afraid of an outright confrontation blowing up in my face which would lead to bad events unfolding, which is why I don't...

Didn't come across like a dick at all, but thank you for the extra clarification. 😸 Yeah, being told to do something when I have a say in the matter can make me indignant as well.

I strongly agree with much of what you just said. To one of your points, I can definitely relate to "lying" as I conceal my hurt and general negativity in front of people. When I don't I'm perceived as a weird jerk. I think you're absolutely right though. No depth can be established in a...

I don't necessarily need the last word, but it's nice to have. I realize the immaturity of it, hence why I don't feel like I need it; it just irks me when I don't get it... but only when I know I'm 100% in the right (this is usually in terms of arguments regarding facts, as philosophical stances...
