2024.05.19 10:54 insanebraincrane What is wrong with my approach to love? M/26 22F
Hey,
This is gonna be long-winded and probably incoherent, but I just need to get this off my chest and if you have any insight regarding why it's constantly happening to me I'd love to hear it.
I consider myself a pretty introverted guy, but I've generally had no issues talking with girls and getting dates, more so recently of course, since I've been growing more comfortable in my own skin. I'm definitely a romantic, I never understood the attitude of guys that treat girls like trash, that just doesn't compute in my head. If I love something, I'm going to take care of it to the best of my ability.
I think we have all had that experience of "the one that got away", well mine was no different. The girl I met when I started uni was special, she was drop dead gorgeous, completely my type, witty and cracked jokes like I would, we finished each other's sentences, we had the same ideas and ambitions. Everything was going great, I was on cloud nine and I never even thought about this like that, but this girl made me think that she's the one I'm gonna marry. We were celebrating new year's at a mutual friend's house and we hooked up, it was phenomenal. Literally 2 days later she ghosts me out of nowhere, I panic. I reach out to talk to her face to face to see what's going on. She obliged reluctantly and word for word said "I'm sorry it's not going to work, you are too good for me".
Now, I've had my heart broken a few times by this point, but this... This was devastating.
I went to a dark place in my own mind, stopped talking with everyone, started doing drugs and generally engaging in self-destructive behavior. It was really hard accepting the fact that my best was never enough for her, I blamed myself constantly, I cried dozens of times alone outside. Whenever a song came up on the radio that reminded me of her my whole mood changed, even if it was jolly prior. I generally am able to keep a cool and straight face when I'm around family as I never want to talk about my own problems, mostly because I know that if I do I will fucking meltdown so I steer clear, I never want them to feel sorry for me, but even they thought something weird was going on and kept asking me questions.
It took me a good 3 years to accept what happened and start trying to move on, as you can imagine my confidence was shattered for that whole time and my self-worth was at an all time low. I started dating again, but not to find love, I don't believe in that anymore, just for sex and to feel wanted. I would tell girls what they wanted to hear, hook up and bail. Hell, sometimes they only wanted sex too, that was optimal. If I didn't get intimate with a girl on the 2nd date I would just look for someone else, I never wanted to put in any effort into actually cultivating anything meaningful or fulfilling. I would always feel like shit when I would pump and dump, because deep down I know what I was doing and that it wasn't me, but I also craved the satisfaction. Looking back, I was definitely perpetuating my own trauma.
Now, I used mainly dating apps, sometimes just start texting people I knew. But a few weeks ago I was at the supermarket and just on my phone walking, when some girl just ran in front of me at speed and knocked me off balance for a moment, she just glanced back at me and I saw how pretty she was, it sent a shock down my body. She was hurrying to get some beer, which I respected and admired. When we were on our way out I approached her to talk to her, told her she caught my eye and asked for her number. She gave me the digits, but she was so flabbergasted it was really funny and cute. We went on a date the next day, she's amazing, we mesh so well together. She's smart and responsible, takes care of her parents same as I do, we found a lot in common. I was thrilled, I never approached anyone like this and the time I felt that I had to do it - it paid off in a big way. I was falling for her and she was for me.
We went on dates, we had fun, talked and walked a lot. I bring her lunch to work, flowers sometimes. She was celebrating a sister's birthday one evening and I had taken her from the place to her apartment, she said she wanted me to stay the night, so I did. It was glorious, we both had a great time.
After that she ghosted me, she doesn't text me first anymore. I have to show all the initiative now, whenever I try to set up dates she's busy. To be fair she is pretty busy, she has 2 jobs and she's one of those people like me that don't pull out their phone when hanging out with someone, just not that attached to technology which I really vibe with. She spends a lot of time with her family, she has sisters and cousins that are all the same age and they hang out in the evenings at her place or at her sister's place and I trust that she's not lying. I've met her cousins, they are all really sweet. But I just feel like she's lost interest in me, I keep trying to get something going but her response times are getting longer and longer.
Honestly I've never seen a switch flip so suddenly, it's like she's a different person now. We used to be so intimate, not only in a sexual way but she would sleep on my chest, hug me in her sleep, squeeze me and not let me go, now she barely gives me any attention. It feels like I'm a burden on her right now. She told me that she has always had trouble with relationships because she's so busy with work and it never worked due to this, but I also feel like she could make time for me if she wanted to, but just chooses not to. I feel like I'm about to get my heart annihilated again.
I don't want to lose her, she made me believe in love again. I truly love this girl and want to build my future with her. I keep fighting the urge to reach out to her and try to make it work, but I think that pulling back might be the best play, however painful it might be right now.
Why is it that always when something good happens to me it never lasts.. Always disappointment after disappointment. What is wrong with me?

2024.05.19 10:51 2fucked2know The differences between Aquas and Sags
I'm a Sag, and Aquas are pretty much more relatable than other Sags to me. To be fair, I don't really know any other Sags, but can absolutely relate to the traits and to what other Sags write on here more than I relate to any other sign - except Aquarius.... We're considered one of the most harmonious pairings, cause there's so much mutual understanding... And I feel that. Aquas are unusually fiery for an air sign, and Sags are unusually airy for a fire sign.
The only mentionable differences I've found between Sags and Aquas, comparing me and my Sag traits to my Aquarius friends:
submitted by 2fucked2know to astrologymemes [link] [comments]
The only mentionable differences I've found between Sags and Aquas, comparing me and my Sag traits to my Aquarius friends:
- We both care a lot for other people, both strangers and close ones, and are humanitarian. But Sags have a tendency of being too naive and give next to all people the benefit of a doubt, while Aquas are more like "yeah, that person's being shitty on purpose and I'm not trusting that. Still wish them the best tho".
- We both struggle with being vulnerable in front of others, but Sags are more communicative when it comes to problem solving in relationships. We wont avoid tackling the tougher topics if we love someone.
- We both have an "idgaf"-attitude, but Sags have more people pleasing tendencies.
- We both have a bad habit of repressing our emotions, but once they inevitably resurface, Aquas have an easier time pushing them down again.
- Aquas are fixed signs and less indecisive when it comes to their foundational beliefs.
- Aquas tend to overthink things, especially their own feelings and actions, and while I do to (I blame it on other placements), it's not a Sag thing.
- We're both aloof and have our heads in the clouds, but Aquas are more aware of the things outside their head despite this.
- We both avoid being surrounded by drama and negativity, but Sags are more likely to enter a debate despite risk of conflict, cause we struggle with resisting the instinct to do so... And cause we think it's fun sometimes lol.
- We're both highly intuitive, but Sags often miss the tangible things while Aquas are hyperaware on top of their intuition. They're also more detail oriented.
- When in love, Sags have a more dramatic way of showing love. Aquas are not less loving, generous or committed, but their expressions are not as intense and over the top... And I prefer the Aqua way of showing love tbh.
- We're both ambiverts, but Sags' need for balance is greater. Aquas have an easier time being alone for an extended time, but it also takes more time for them to burnout from too much social interaction.
- If you have one Aqua and one Sag in your life that you aren't super close to, the Aqua will probably be way more reliable. But if they do love you, the Sag is likely to be the most dependable one (but tbh both are very devoted once we commit).
- We're both curious and thirst for in depth knowledge, and we're likely to be interested in other cultures, art, psychology, politics, science, history etc. But Sags want to use their knowledge to be able to analyse the big picture or understand themselves and others rather than just the specific thing they're currently learning about (connecting the dots), while Aquas are more interested in factual matters, the specific topic at hand and hence absorb more concrete information. A good example is how both me and an Aqua friend have been interested in True Crime for more than a decade in my case and more than two in his. His main reason is Criminal Technology and fascination by morbidity, while my interest has always just been one aspect of my intense general interest in psychology and the human mind.
- We both have a high need for freedom and autonomy and are hesitant to committing, but with Aquas it's mainly interpersonal (needing it in relationships) and have an easier time committing to a project or job, while Sags are like that in every area of our lives.
- Sags are more likely to get clingy when in love, and struggle more with letting go.
- We both have a very childish, goofy and playful side with a "quantity over quality" attitude to humor... But while Sags tend to like dark humor too, our overall goofy vibe is more like a toddler's, while Aquas are 7-12 yr olds lol.
- We're both inventive and have a high creative drive, but Aquas are more methodical and more likely to actually finish their projects/follow through... Like, Sags will write fantastic lyrics and come up with melodies to 20 songs in a day, but then get bored with the idea of perfecting it or actually picking up an instrument and put things together.... While Aquas take their time to make a perfect, finished piece of art.
2024.05.19 10:49 Frankie_Rose19 What life would have played out if Voldy didn’t exist.
I’m curious as to what everyone’s opinions are of how every character in the marauders era life would have panned out if there wasn’t the backdrop of a war brewing. Like what do you think job wise they would have done and why? Who would get married and when/why? If they would have kids/how many/earlier or later? What couples would or wouldn’t exist? What friendships would last and what wouldn’t?
Like be as fantastical or as unpopular as you want with your opinions please 🙏 here’s a few of mine:
Careers wise:
I actually see Severus as pursuing being a curse breaker honestly. And I don’t see it enough in fanfics. I think young Severus would have been enamoured by the fantasy of going away from his home and Hogwarts after all that bullying and finding a place he belonged abroad that holds a lot of prestige in society and the idea of it being considered a cool job would have excited him as well as the practical application of his knowledge in dark arts and defence. And I can kinda see Snape getting along with goblins tbh ahaha and wearing dragon hide boots looking snazzy in a few years into working. His knowledge of breaking curses would eventually lead to some discoveries in healing that are practiced in places such as St Mungo’s.
James Potter totally in a world without Voldy would have become a Chaser for a Quidditch Team. (Hell he wasn’t even a auror in canon) And he would have had some fun years as a bachelor being irresponsible before deflating his head a bit and wanting a wife and kids. After a solid track as a chaser for 8 or so years, he’d retire and work in the same department as Ludo Bagman.
I’m not too sure what I think Sirius would do as tbh he never had a chance in canon to show his interests beyond James and Harry. I know he’d have a massive bachelor pad though. And possibly a few illegitimate children scattered around from brief affairs.
Remus would spend a few years between jobs and getting support from James like he did in canon before being offered at 24 the defence job at Hogwarts by Dumbledore upon the retirement of the last professor. He’d then perform that job well for many years and be beloved by his students before eventually being outed as a werewolf but due to his positive impact on students for so many years he has changed how many of the younger generation view and treat werewolves. Due to him being a teacher whilst Tonks is at school, he never sees her as a romantic interest despite her high school crush on him.
Peter idk some low ranking ministry job.
Lily is an anomaly to me. I’m never too sure where I sit with her in terms of what I think she’d be like or what she’d do in different circumstances. But I’d love to hear what people think. I know it’s common for people to assume she would be a healer or auror. But I don’t see her as a auror esp in a work without Voldemort. Healer I can kind of see what I feel it’s a stereotype of a basic kind female character. But she is known to be good at charms and potions so it could suit. I do think she would get married and have quite a few kids though also.

Like be as fantastical or as unpopular as you want with your opinions please 🙏 here’s a few of mine:
- Molly and Arthur would not have married as quickly due to no sense of urgency from the impending war. This meant Molly could pursue a possible career after school and she chooses to follow her brothers into becoming a auror. Due to her training they delay on kids until a little later and this delay results in them not having Bill, Charlie or Percy. Upon finding out they are having twins straight off the bat, Molly becomes a housewife at that point for the time being but they have a better reputation in society due to her work as auror and they are slightly better off financially due to having dual incomes. Molly continues to have Ron and then Ginny and upon having a girl decides she is done with kids at 4. This results in their kids being better off with less insecurities. They still have a big sense of family as a family of 6 and with Molly’s brothers being alive with their own kids nearby, life at the Weasley’s is never not busy and full of love.
- Due to the lack of impending war times during the Marauders’s schooling, there is less inter house tension based on politics. Lily and Severus have less arguments over his choice in friends though Lily still finds them slightly distasteful and due to him never using the slur at her, their friendship survives the course of all their years at Hogwarts. Due to this, despite Lily’s attraction to James she never acts on it in seventh year out of a sense of loyalty to Severus. James doesn’t grow up rapidly in seventh year like he does in canon and his growth is slower as he becomes an adult outside of Hogwarts. Once all of them are out of Hogwarts, the marauders don’t bump into Severus or Lily much due to vastly different life directions.

2024.05.19 10:45 Noble_Spaniard [Online][5e][Bi-Weekly Wednesday 7PM Eastern][LGBTQ+] Semi-Serious, Friendly, RP-Centric Group Looking for One More Player for Dark Fantasy Homebrew Campaign
Hello RP enthusiasts!
I am looking for a single player to join a fun, friendly RP-focused group playing a relatively new 5e homebrew campaign using DDB/Roll20, and voice chat via Discord, every other Wednesday evening at 6-9:30pm Central (7-10:30 Eastern).
As I mentioned, the group is primarily focused on roleplaying, so anyone looking for a combat-focused game should look elsewhere. That said, the campaign is set in a dark, challenging, high-fantasy world, with plenty of monsters and adversaries allowing for a reasonable amount of combat, as well.
The campaign started at level one; but thanks to one of our players having a change in employment, their impending schedule conflicts mean this Wednesday will be their final session in this game. Thus, there is an opening available for what will likely be a level 3 character to join the other three (a rogue, barbarian, and divine soul sorcerer) in a couple of weeks, which should give us plenty of time to work on your character and backstory, and craft an appropriate entry for your character into the party/story. On the OOC side, everyone is very friendly, so it should not take long for any new player to comfortably feel like a welcome part of the group.
Ages for the four of us range from lower and mid twenties to over forty, and all relate to each other very well. So, while I'd like to keep the minimum age in the 20's, beyond that: playstyle, mindset, and personality are more important than hard numbers.
What's the game like?
This is a game of collaborative storytelling. Barring the obvious (no obscene or meme characters, etc), my primary rule for character creation is that you must make a character who will want to work with the party and engage with the story, and with whom the party will want to engage. Come up with an idea for a backstory, and I will gladly work on it with you, and incorporate elements into the campaign. And just because your character enters play, that does not mean backstory development needs to stop. I will gladly continue to incorporate your character into the world, and vice-versa, so long as you are an engaged part of the process, and positively contributing to the story.
I also try to give my players engaging descriptions, and interactive NPC's (though no DMPC's) with distinct voices and personalities, and to augment scenes with engaging visuals. A few of the visuals I have created for the game can be seen on the application page, at: https://forms.gle/LJ9JHQqkCAcjkfY58
It is my hope that the descriptions and the visuals will help you feel immersed in the world, and help you enjoy roleplaying your character. Not everyone at our table is an actor, and any effort you make to roleplay your character is appreciated. The group is friendly and supportive, and fosters an environment where everyone can comfortably push their own boundaries (trying new voices, or whatever), should they choose, without fear of judgment or mockery. We do have fun, joke around and break character, but never at anyone else's expense, and not to the point of derailing the game.
What about the people?
I have a lot of experience with gaming, in various systems, both as player and storytelleDM, and endeavor to keep things fun and fair. I am also friendly and laid back, and a huge fan of open and honest communication, so I am always happy to listen to any thoughts, concerns, or ideas you may have.
The group is LGBTQ+ friendly, and welcomes everyone. Racism, sexism, homophobia, or other such things have never been an issue, and would not be tolerated. That said, this group is neither a hugbox nor a meme group, neither ultra-sensitive nor super-meme-centric. We are a friendly and easy-going group of gamers who enjoy role-play and realism/verisimilitude in our games. We are also very supportive of each other, in and out of game, and are comfortable with the idea that stereotypes and conflict do exist in game. So, if you get up in arms about in-game "racism" (kobolds and drow being typically evil, and treated as such, and/or the possibility of other inherent conflict based on race/background); if you dislike NPCs reacting appropriately to your PC's behavior; or if you can't stand the possibility of any other in-game conflict, this is not the game for you. If you are a nice, respectful, decent human being who is interested in collaborative storytelling, in a roleplay-centric game, with a decent bit of combat mixed in, then you should fit right in!
You might say we are semi-serious gamers. We might hang out and chat before and/or after game, but game time is for gaming. We do crack jokes and have fun, but generally keep things moving and focused on the game at hand. If this sounds like your style, then please apply via the link! https://forms.gle/LJ9JHQqkCAcjkfY58
So, what's the campaign about?
Admittedly, I have long been partial to "classic," Tolkien-esque D&D, and the worlds portrayed in the Dragonlance novels and Salvatore books. Dragonborns, tieflings, and the exotic races were never really my cup of tea, for PC's. But, I also tend to be open-minded about most things. So, when the friends with whom I have been playing 5e online for the past couple of years asked me to run a game, I decided to challenge my previous notions. Having watched certain characters done well in streamed games encouraged me to scrap some of my previous boundaries, and create a world which has become largely dominated by the "animal" races.
When the "awakened" first began to appear, during a time now known as The Great Awakening, they were typically treated as pets, as slaves, or as curiosities at best, especially by humans. Over time, as they grew in numbers, eventually they turned the tables on their oppressors, and hunted/drove much of humanity into remote areas. Elves and dwarves largely withdrew from the conflicts, though they occasionally provided shelter to refugees, either directly, or by offering some measure of protection to communities which sprang up near their own.
Now, with the continent-wide conflicts having largely subsided, much of the known world is currently run by the awakened races, who have themselves begun to segregate into various communities. And, while many humans were pushed to the outskirts of civilization, mostly existing in remote sanctuary communities, those humans currently trying to survive in the more populated areas are treated like second-class citizens, at best.
The current game does not take place in those areas, however! I am still building that world out, tailoring a larger campaign to the characters and ideas my players have given me. The campaign I am currently running takes place in a remote part of that same world, where The Great Awakening -- and the effects it has had on much of the known world -- is little more than rumor.
The Othean Peninsula is an icy expanse, isolated both physically and culturally from the rest of the world. This is an area of the world still largely dominated by humans, and the two peoples who populate the area -- a nordic tribal culture, and a more "civilized" society reminiscent of medieval Eastern Europe -- are hardened by the climate, the dangerous wilds, and the wars they have fought against each other over control of the region.
As the PC's wind their way through the landscape, there are a number of directions they could go, and interests they could pursue. Of course, they must do so while also navigating the tentative truce between the two societies, and facing the threats permeating the world around them. Last session, after getting hired to help find someone, they took a detour to investigate a break-in. NPCs from each faction in town are quick to blame the other, while at least one person believes the attacker was a more external, and possibly supernatural, threat. This week, having negotiated a more comfortable lodging situation with the individual whose establishment was targeted, the PC's may follow through on finding the missing person, or may follow up on their investigation. Or both!
There is no railroad here. There are options, and impetus; but player agency is important for the group to be able to help shape the story.
Wherever they end up in two weeks, will your character be likely to join the party, and up to the challenges which may lie before them?

I am looking for a single player to join a fun, friendly RP-focused group playing a relatively new 5e homebrew campaign using DDB/Roll20, and voice chat via Discord, every other Wednesday evening at 6-9:30pm Central (7-10:30 Eastern).
As I mentioned, the group is primarily focused on roleplaying, so anyone looking for a combat-focused game should look elsewhere. That said, the campaign is set in a dark, challenging, high-fantasy world, with plenty of monsters and adversaries allowing for a reasonable amount of combat, as well.
The campaign started at level one; but thanks to one of our players having a change in employment, their impending schedule conflicts mean this Wednesday will be their final session in this game. Thus, there is an opening available for what will likely be a level 3 character to join the other three (a rogue, barbarian, and divine soul sorcerer) in a couple of weeks, which should give us plenty of time to work on your character and backstory, and craft an appropriate entry for your character into the party/story. On the OOC side, everyone is very friendly, so it should not take long for any new player to comfortably feel like a welcome part of the group.
Ages for the four of us range from lower and mid twenties to over forty, and all relate to each other very well. So, while I'd like to keep the minimum age in the 20's, beyond that: playstyle, mindset, and personality are more important than hard numbers.
What's the game like?
This is a game of collaborative storytelling. Barring the obvious (no obscene or meme characters, etc), my primary rule for character creation is that you must make a character who will want to work with the party and engage with the story, and with whom the party will want to engage. Come up with an idea for a backstory, and I will gladly work on it with you, and incorporate elements into the campaign. And just because your character enters play, that does not mean backstory development needs to stop. I will gladly continue to incorporate your character into the world, and vice-versa, so long as you are an engaged part of the process, and positively contributing to the story.
I also try to give my players engaging descriptions, and interactive NPC's (though no DMPC's) with distinct voices and personalities, and to augment scenes with engaging visuals. A few of the visuals I have created for the game can be seen on the application page, at: https://forms.gle/LJ9JHQqkCAcjkfY58
It is my hope that the descriptions and the visuals will help you feel immersed in the world, and help you enjoy roleplaying your character. Not everyone at our table is an actor, and any effort you make to roleplay your character is appreciated. The group is friendly and supportive, and fosters an environment where everyone can comfortably push their own boundaries (trying new voices, or whatever), should they choose, without fear of judgment or mockery. We do have fun, joke around and break character, but never at anyone else's expense, and not to the point of derailing the game.
What about the people?
I have a lot of experience with gaming, in various systems, both as player and storytelleDM, and endeavor to keep things fun and fair. I am also friendly and laid back, and a huge fan of open and honest communication, so I am always happy to listen to any thoughts, concerns, or ideas you may have.
The group is LGBTQ+ friendly, and welcomes everyone. Racism, sexism, homophobia, or other such things have never been an issue, and would not be tolerated. That said, this group is neither a hugbox nor a meme group, neither ultra-sensitive nor super-meme-centric. We are a friendly and easy-going group of gamers who enjoy role-play and realism/verisimilitude in our games. We are also very supportive of each other, in and out of game, and are comfortable with the idea that stereotypes and conflict do exist in game. So, if you get up in arms about in-game "racism" (kobolds and drow being typically evil, and treated as such, and/or the possibility of other inherent conflict based on race/background); if you dislike NPCs reacting appropriately to your PC's behavior; or if you can't stand the possibility of any other in-game conflict, this is not the game for you. If you are a nice, respectful, decent human being who is interested in collaborative storytelling, in a roleplay-centric game, with a decent bit of combat mixed in, then you should fit right in!
You might say we are semi-serious gamers. We might hang out and chat before and/or after game, but game time is for gaming. We do crack jokes and have fun, but generally keep things moving and focused on the game at hand. If this sounds like your style, then please apply via the link! https://forms.gle/LJ9JHQqkCAcjkfY58
So, what's the campaign about?
Admittedly, I have long been partial to "classic," Tolkien-esque D&D, and the worlds portrayed in the Dragonlance novels and Salvatore books. Dragonborns, tieflings, and the exotic races were never really my cup of tea, for PC's. But, I also tend to be open-minded about most things. So, when the friends with whom I have been playing 5e online for the past couple of years asked me to run a game, I decided to challenge my previous notions. Having watched certain characters done well in streamed games encouraged me to scrap some of my previous boundaries, and create a world which has become largely dominated by the "animal" races.
When the "awakened" first began to appear, during a time now known as The Great Awakening, they were typically treated as pets, as slaves, or as curiosities at best, especially by humans. Over time, as they grew in numbers, eventually they turned the tables on their oppressors, and hunted/drove much of humanity into remote areas. Elves and dwarves largely withdrew from the conflicts, though they occasionally provided shelter to refugees, either directly, or by offering some measure of protection to communities which sprang up near their own.
Now, with the continent-wide conflicts having largely subsided, much of the known world is currently run by the awakened races, who have themselves begun to segregate into various communities. And, while many humans were pushed to the outskirts of civilization, mostly existing in remote sanctuary communities, those humans currently trying to survive in the more populated areas are treated like second-class citizens, at best.
The current game does not take place in those areas, however! I am still building that world out, tailoring a larger campaign to the characters and ideas my players have given me. The campaign I am currently running takes place in a remote part of that same world, where The Great Awakening -- and the effects it has had on much of the known world -- is little more than rumor.
The Othean Peninsula is an icy expanse, isolated both physically and culturally from the rest of the world. This is an area of the world still largely dominated by humans, and the two peoples who populate the area -- a nordic tribal culture, and a more "civilized" society reminiscent of medieval Eastern Europe -- are hardened by the climate, the dangerous wilds, and the wars they have fought against each other over control of the region.
As the PC's wind their way through the landscape, there are a number of directions they could go, and interests they could pursue. Of course, they must do so while also navigating the tentative truce between the two societies, and facing the threats permeating the world around them. Last session, after getting hired to help find someone, they took a detour to investigate a break-in. NPCs from each faction in town are quick to blame the other, while at least one person believes the attacker was a more external, and possibly supernatural, threat. This week, having negotiated a more comfortable lodging situation with the individual whose establishment was targeted, the PC's may follow through on finding the missing person, or may follow up on their investigation. Or both!
There is no railroad here. There are options, and impetus; but player agency is important for the group to be able to help shape the story.

2024.05.19 10:40 STD_ISSUE_ANTHROPOD Schema Therapy; Narrative, mythos and me.
Hi, I have been reading through my notes, correspondence with my psych and reacquainted myself with this subreddit having made a little bit of progress. I realise how deeply personal and different our work with schema therapy can be. It is a fraught process that is really hard work at times. Having made unexpected progress though, I thought maybe it would be helpful to describe parts of my context, not so much that people find it familiar or relatable, but moreso that people grab the toolset that schema therapy gives you and run with it in your own way.
Background: It's probably been just over fourth months of fairly intensive schema therapy. I am in the fortunate situation of having regular appointments with a clinical psychologist. I would say I had two points where I generated schemas. First one was the same as everyone else: Early childhood. Second one was 17-21 when I became effectively bedridden due to chronic illness.
When I have talked about this second period, I describe it as "Having to rebuild who I was from scratch, entirely based around energy efficiency". I remember staring into the pitch blackness of my bedroom during this time, absolutely flawed that the one part of me that seemed to function right was what Schema Therapy might describe as "Demanding Critic". This would have been 18-19 years ago so I had no idea about schema therapy at all, I just had this constant internal dialogue tearing strips off me for not trying harder, not getting up, not fixing myself. I was completely exhausted otherwise, but this damn thing was as active as ever? What the hell, why was it the last thing standing? It was so different from the rest of me. "If you know how to fix everything, be my guest, I'm in your hands, here's the keys!" I remember thinking. Alarmingly, the internal dialog responded: "Fine, I will". "Good fucking luck" I thought, and passed out for several hours. I didn't realise it, but I had just given Demanding Critic a parental role.
Demanding Critic used a process of elimination to tear apart, kludge, re-engineer and jerry-rig me from someone who slept for 16-18 hours a day out of necessity into someone with a degree, a house, a family, a part-time job. It took a while. It wasn't easy. It's amazing what can happen when you give seething self-hatred the keys to your entire self. Punitive critic used to be a thing, but had it's parts ripped out and reconfigured for completely different purposes. Entire ways to simulate being a conscious, involved person in social situations were constructed. I trained myself to do very complex tasks by muscle memory so I could do them while completely exhausted. The complex effects of depressive episodes could be filtered and rewired to emulate happiness. Fatalistic pessimism was employed towards emulating initiative and drive. Their logics and mechanisms were set to fire off automatically according to the myriad of different contexts I found myself in, so I didn't have to consciously engage in the moment, I could just react according to programming. The "machines" as I called them were fine tuned over years. But it seems that entire parts of myself were deactivated having been deemed too difficult to regulate, or too energy intensive. Demanding Critic was as brutal at he was creative. Entire emotional spectrums were pulverised, or at best used as catalysts for the activation of certain mechanics. They weren't properly experienced, because that used up too much energy, and I couldn't trust myself to make it through the day. Same with speculative, ill-defined senses like 'Hope'. It wasn't worth the effects of disappointment. No one could know how much pain I was in, or how much I was really suffering, or how exhausted I really was. Press on you stupid meat-bag. In your state what good is hope or despair? You'd be a poor judge of either. Press on! Hurry up and succeed. It doesn't matter what has happened to you, what people say or do to you, you can barely feel it above the pain anyway. MOVE. MOVE. MOVE.
This process was refined until a semblance of normativity took place externally, and internally I had acclimated to the new approaches that were by now a pretty seamless, responsive system. Something still wasn't right though, and with investigation came the ASD/ADHD diagnosis, then the CPTSD diagnosis. Once again unto the breech, I pushed myself to understand and recover as best I could. Except doing so meant realising what was happening around me, what interpersonal boundaries were, how I was being treated by my loved ones, everything that had really happened to me for thirty-odd years.
Kaboom.
In the aftermath I'm in a difficult, but stable situation, and undergoing schema therapy. Learning about the modes my therapist asked me to talk about the ones I identified. Demanding Critic spoke directly through the keyboard as an intense character: The Machinist. It became obvious that the system of schema therapy lent itself to treating modes as characters within a narrative, and I have just ran with it. The Machinist, interestingly enough, set down his tools and deactivated many of his machines, because if my Therapist and I found a "Better Solution", he wanted in on it, being fundamentally benevolent, and concerned with a Successful Result. Without Schema Therapy lending itself to narrative and mythos, I doubt I could have so easily deactivated the system of "machinery" required to prop me up. It's led to all kinds of shocking discoveries: The missing (No longer presumed dead) Happy Child that has been carefully hidden away amongst the deactivated components of myself. The fact that I lived entirely in the Past or the Future. The present was deemed "Too energy consumptive". I didn't know whether I had a "Healthy Adult Mode", but weirdly The Machinist could fill that roll sometimes but obviously had his limitations. Then out of the void, deactivated parts of me started to come back online. Something started to assert itself in the Present. It was very interested in emotions. Instead of casting them aside and pushing past them to get on with what i was supposed to be doing, it insisted I experience them, decode them and experiment with them. New experiments in the real-time interaction with people were enacted, with the emotional fallout, good and bad, further experimented with. This present-based-thing has been curiously self-compassionate, and has guided me through the difficulties and risks of fully engaging in real time with my emotional spectrum when relating with others, my work, and my life. All for the sake of her experiments. She is The Scientist. She is getting all kinds of results and recording all kinds of functions I had no idea I was capable of. The Machinist is head over heels in love with her, having watched her working over the least two weeks. She's kinda started flirting with him, allowing a desire for perfection to be felt over some work I was doing. "Show me what you can do". I consciously disparaged the desire for perfection, looked down and my consciousness was shocked to discover The Machinist had taken over my motor skills and indeed had made something perfectly, and was having fun. It seems I have two self re-parents.
Now, it's bonkers to read, I'm sure. I apologise. But it's working. It really is fucking working. Take what you can from schema therapy and run with it. Make it yours, whatever that means for you. It's gonna be weird. It's gonna be wild. I reckon the easiest way to engage with it has to be it's propensity for character and narrative, but maybe the path of least resistance for you is some other aspect of it I can't detect.

2024.05.19 10:21 RealAd1811 I think I offended my boyfriend’s family, how do I recover?
I am 31F and dating a 34M. I live in a city and he lives with family in a small rural town one hour away. He has 3 siblings, 2 sisters. The eldest sister lives a 17 hour drive away.
We have been dating 2 years. I was invited to his older sisters baby shower in January, which was 17 hours away. I was offered a ride with his younger sister and aunt but declined and sent a gift, as I was so wiped from the holidays and would have to take off work. I was also not confident about my ability to socialize for so long and I didn’t know them very well, I know my social battery is low and I would be probably mute because I just am not very social and it would be a long time together. My boyfriend wasn’t going. I’m not sure if his older sister holds that against me or not.
Yesterday I was invited to his nieces birthday, I went early Saturday, it was an hours drive away. It was nice except his mom who has mental illness and recently divorced their dad came and no one expected that, and my boyfriend and her don’t get along. I had only met his mom one other time almost 2 years ago. My mom also has mental illness so I understand. I have nothing against her!!! I would love to get along with a future in law. But when my boyfriend and I walked in I said hi, and she looked at us and said to my boyfriend, “I am not a stalker” and walked away, and it was pretty awkward.
His older sister and her husband and their new baby flew in to come to the party!
So anyways the party was fun and lovely. I found out there was a wedding reception of his cousins that night. I had no idea about it, I thought my boyfriend and I would go back to my place Saturday night and spend Sunday together like always. But I said I’d go and I went and bought an outfit in his town and went to the reception! It was nice, it was for someone on his mom’s side of the family which I’d never met!
His sister told us at the reception that their mom said I gave her a dirty look, which I didn’t or didn’t mean to! She didn’t say it like she believed I did, but like their mom was starting drama. But their mom is ill and has a lot of negative thoughts about everyone. But it made me feel bad :(
I was feeling shy at the reception, and didn’t dance until the very end to one song awkwardly. His older sister was trying to get my boyfriend to dance, but he wouldn’t, and she said he always does, and it seemed like she was thinking that he wouldn’t dance because I was there, because I didn’t want to. I felt bad.
I was quiet a lot, I think I came off as not wanting to be there? I don’t know! I hope not. But I find socializing hard and I feel I put my foot in my mouth several times.
SO his older sister who flew in found out about a graduation party the next day, Sunday, and invited us all. And also they decided they are going out for their dad’s birthday Sunday evening. His sister invited us and it was sooo loud in the reception I wasn’t hearing everything of what people were saying. My boyfriend said we might be able to make it to the grad party, and I was like yeah I think so I think, but it might have seemed I didn’t want to, but I hope not. They were like, how far is it to your house? How long of a drive tonight and tomorrow? And were like that’s not that far.
So when we left the reception, his older sister was like, you guys should come, I hope to see you there. I thought I saw her roll her eyes at me for being noncommittal. I talked about it with my boyfriend after and said I’d like to go. I really have no idea who the grad party is for and don’t know if my boyfriend wants to go to that, but I definitely want to go to his dad’s bday dinner.
I just felt like his sister was not liking that she felt I didn’t want to do these things tomorrow. I kind of don’t want to but totally will. I hate that I seemed like I didn’t want to. I just had a really rough week at work working overtime and my work is abusive and I’ve been looking for another job, and Saturday day is my chore day but I was at the birthday party, I haven’t gone grocery shopping or done laundry. Which whatever.
His sister also encouraged me to do the single ladies bouquet toss, it was me and like 7 10 and under girls. It got tossed really far away from me and I didn’t run for it as o had all these little girls in front.
TLDR: Why am I like this? I believe I have offended his family and made them not like me. I don’t feel like a very likable person. I typically like to know plans ahead of time but don’t want to turn down these invites, I will go and want to make a good impression. Please help me get my head straight. I fear my boyfriend’s family doesn’t really like me, and thinks I don’t like them or that my boyfriend needs someone more social who fits in.

2024.05.19 10:20 mamamo_xoxo Magkatrabaho parehas may asawa’t anak
I’m straight female, 28 yrs old. Nung kinonfront ko partner ko, inamin nya lahat lahat sakin, kung paano nabuo yung feelings nya sa katrabaho nya during our rough patch sa relationship namin, paano nagparamdam sa kanya yung girl, paanong unang beses syang niyaya umuwi ng girl at nagpahatid sa kanya pauwi (pumayag sya), paano umamin sila sa isa’t isa, paano sila nag laplapan sa kotse namin, paano sila nagsimulang magsabihan ng I love yous and magtawagan ng “baby”, at kung paano sila nagsimulang magtext at magflirt behind their partners’ backs.
Almost 1 month pa lang sila nagstart magkabitan, nahuli ko na agad asawa ko. So, di pa ganun kalalim yung feelings nila, di pa sila naabot sa toot stage. Sa kissing pa lang at kilig kilig pa lang katulad ng mga bagong mag-jowa. Di kasi nagstart yung kabitan nila na sex yung habol sa isa’t isa. More on affection for each other. May nakita yung patner ko na something kay girl na dating ginagawa ko sa kanya, na di ko na ginagawa ngayon masyado (ex: inaasikaso, dinadalhan ng food), plus, nasa vulnerable state daw kasi yung partner ko kasi panay kami away around those time. Saktong lagi silang magkasama nung girl sa station nila sa work (F&B industry), nakakachikahan nya lagi about work and about personal life. Nadistract sya from his problems sa bahay and naging comfort nya si girl nang hindi nya namamalayan. Nag oopen up si girl ng mga problems nya sa work at sa partner nya, kaya pati partner ko, nagshare na rin sa kanya ng problems nya (pero not that detailed). I can’t really say na nagcomfortan sila basta during the process, nabuo yung feelings kasi nga lagi silang unintentionally magkasama sa station nila sa work at of course, lagi tuloy sila nagchichikahan.
Sa loob ng 7 years, ngayon lang nagcheat partner ko, (I know kasi may access kami parehas sa phone and account ng isa’t isa since we started dating). Nag usap na kami ng partner ko, para sa akin, deal-breaker talaga pag nag cheat eh at gusto kong panindigan na pag nagloko, wala na talaga. Pero something’s stopping me, it hurts the idea of leaving him. Kasi di biro yung tagal ng pagsasama namin, plus, may anak kami, isa. Sobrang sakit lang sa part na nahuli ko syang nagloloko on the day ng birthday celebration ng anak namin sa resort, while we are all having fun. I’m not going into details anymore. Mas masakit pa dun kasi, 2 days from the day na nahuli ko sya, anniversary namin. Nakakabaliw yung idea na kung di ko pa sya nahuli, magmumukha akong tanga sa anniversary namin. Nagbabalak pa naman kami magdate night sa anniversary namin nun. Sya pa ang nagpa-plano kung paano at saan. Nadepressed ako sobra. Nagwala, umiyak nang umiyak at nawalan nang gana kumain. Muntik na kami mawalan ng work parehas. It was really messy. It’s been 2 weeks and masakit pa rin, sumisikip dibdib ko pag naiisip ko lahat, kahit tinapos na nila yung kabitan at bumabawi naman sya now. I really want it to work out pero pag naiisip ko yung ginawa nya, di ko kaya yung sakit. Di ko maintindihan sarili ko. Any advice naman.
Curious ako, sabi ko, bakit di sila umabot sa stage na nagsesex sila or any sexual activity (pero naglaplapan sila). Is laplapan a way to show intimacy? Sabi nya, wala sa isip nila parehas yun, at pure love daw nararamdaman nila, like, kiligan lang, iloveyouhan, imissyouhan at kiss. Totally wala talaga sa isip nila yung sex. Katulad lang ba yun ng mga bagong magjowa na infatuation lang muna? Inamin nya, minahal daw nya si girl dahil sa mga ginawa nung girl for him (may kilig talaga and butterflies sa stomach everytime they kiss and everytime they’re together). Dahil sa mga efforts ni girl, pag aasikaso, paghanga sa kanya ni girl at compliments. It bothers me so much. Naramdaman nya daw talaga na true love yun at inamin nyang masakit yung idea na ititigil nila yung kabitan nila. Nafefeel nya daw na at peace sya at nacocomfort sya sa presence ni girl. Todo deny sya sakin nung sinabi kong that’s exactly what we call “infatuation”. Hindi daw yun infatuation. Love daw talaga yun. (I made him confess everything to me and now it all bothers me so much). Sabi ko pa, ganun naman talaga pag infatuation, sa simula, kiligan lang muna, then eventually, they will have sex na. Sabi nya hindi daw talaga and he highly doubts na aabot sila sa ganun kahit tumagal pa yung kabitan nila. Talagang comfortan lang at kiligan. Is that possible???

2024.05.19 10:08 chasesan Outpost Discussion
Currently I feel making outposts is still kind of a slog and really not worth the effort for the most part.
I have no idea how to fix this, but there are some things that might help address some of the issues I have with the outpost system. These are mostly pipe dreams and I realize they will likely never happen.

I have no idea how to fix this, but there are some things that might help address some of the issues I have with the outpost system. These are mostly pipe dreams and I realize they will likely never happen.
- Cluttered Prefabs. Much like ship habs, have pre cluttered habs would make setting up outposts less annoying. Particularly the ones you don't really care about that much.
- Towns/Shops. I wouldn't mind being able to expand an outpost into a mini town. Could have a few prefab Chunks/Terrabrew/Enhance!/Trade Authority buildings for that purpose. Maybe the Trade Authority could automate selling raw materials or the produced goods from your outpost for a modest fee.
- Interior Walls, Catwalks, and Prefab Internals. Basically as that. Having walls and catwalks would make the outpost building a bit nicer when you care. A few small prefab interior sections (like bathrooms, precluttered shelves/lockers, etc) could make it less painful to customize.
- Resource Depot. The cargo link system is interesting, but a bit complex for what little it does. It might be better just to have a building that could optionally aggregate everything for an entire system (with filtered outputs) and only require cargo links between systems.

Trip advice
The wife and I are driving up from Beaumont area to visit some friends for the day but are planing on turning the day trip into a 3 day getaway weekend. Going to be there on may 31 - June 2, maybe till June 3, was looking for some causal date night ideas and some fun day activity ideas . We like markets and shopping areas that are different from your mall type shopping areas (ie. Nike, Dillards, sears, HomeGoods …etc) and for date night something active like bowling or maybe put-put. Ideas with alcohol are fine and we will be using Uber so we can drink freely. Thanks for all the suggestions!!

2024.05.19 09:56 xXLUKEXx789 Idea for a fun way to balance Bile Titans.
So I see quite a few people on this sub complaining about balancing issues especially regarding there not being enough viable ways to deal with the Bile titans especially compared to every other heavy unit in the game.
There’s a way to deal with every other Heavily Armored enemy using weapons that have better armor piercing than what the primary’s are capable of (for example the AMR and Autocannon) such as shooting Hulks in the eye/arms, Tanks and Chargers in the back, Striders in specific weak spots so an idea to make it more fun and give more viable ways to deal with the Bile Titans would be to give a weak spot in a specific point on each of their legs, allowing for the leg to be shot off with enough bullets from weapons such as DMR, Autocannon and HMG.
This could result in slowing down the Bile Titan and making it limp on three legs, and downing it if another leg were to be shot off. What do you guys think?

Prologue
Hello and welcome to my post. I will subdivide this into two large parts. One will cover my thoughts, feelings, my hopes and dreams...While the other will tell you the specifics of how I pass the time, what topics interest me, what passions do I posses. I believe that at the end of this leap into my inner world, you dear reader, will have all the necessary information to judge whether we are compatible or not.
Part I
I am writing this in the hopes of finding something that I lack. Lately I have had this feeling, this tinge of melancholy within the dephts of my being, this yearning to find a kindred spirit, another Soul, much like mine, to form a bond with. Perhaps Loneliness is the right word for what is bothering me, but to use it seems to carry with it a connotation of ungratefulness. Ungratefulness for the people that I do have in my life, although none of them, of course, have the connection to me that I seek here.
I have found it increasingly necessary to seek in this Life a sort of purity of thought. What I mean is, I have began to undestand what ideas and concepts are ultimately compatible with my inner most Self, ergo what guidelines I have to follow to feel the most whole. Naturally I have likewise realised what I cannot add to my Self and what I will henceforth reject with all the power that I posses.
With this new context in mind, I now follow on the path of self improvement. I will now begin to mold my Self into my perfected idea of how the Self should be. This is certainly a significant undertaking, one that will not be easy to follow through on but one that I ultimately have to do. To me such context is essential. It is akin to a Guiding Star shining in the night. I will follow this Star for without it I am lost in the vast Darkness.
Looking back at my life, it was suboptimal, especially if one compares the way it molded me to how I will now mold myself. I suppose I must look on with a hint of regret at all that time which one might consider to be lost. Still... I try to stave off such decisively negative interpretations, after all, I have ultimately came to these conclusions. That means that somewhere along the line I had to have picked up on enough of such ideas for them to become so cemented in my consciousness. Well, either that or I was always like this, but in that case I can at least thank my life up to this point for not being able to supress such manifestations of my inner most Self.
To add to the topic of my life, I must admit that not all the battles have yet been won, not all the Demons vanquished, not every Mountain climbed. I want you to keep such things in mind when deciding whether or not to approach me. Many will shy away, I undestand that much, but the pursuit of true Companionship is just another such battle. Having said all that I do believe that being able to overcome hurdles together carries with it a certain appeal. That is to say, what's the fun in joining once the Game is already over?
I don't shy away from such challenges, perhaps to a fault. Certain troubles that I faced in the past carry with them a long shadow over my current health and well being. Still, I intend to change little in this regard other than the proficiency with which I will clash the current of my Will against the cliffs of Life.
Part II
In this part of my post I will tell you about my interests and hobbies, I will try to be thorough, commonality in this regard is rather important to build a relationship
History. I have had an interest in history for almost a decade now, it started back in school and developed from there. Well, now that I think about it one could argue that it started even earlier in my life as I liked watching the odd historic documentary or film aired on television but it wasn't regular back then, I never actively sought it out. I am mostly interested in European history in the period between the 18th-20th century but I sometimes branch out to other time periods and other parts of the world. I watch various channels related to history and read articles and sometimes books. I have recently got a few books on the German revolution of 1848/1849 and a historical magazine on the Thirty Years' War. Besides that I try to visit museums sometimes.
Literature. Especially old novels. I like to immerse myself in the Worlds of these books, I tend to read them while listening to thematically fitting music and take my time with them. One time you are following a troubled Youth in his quest for spiritual understanding of the world, another you see the aged and decrepit Doctor gambling his very Soul on the promises of abtaining satisfaction in earthy pleasures, then again your olfaction notices the most pleasant scent known to man even as the one eminating it has the appearance of a revolting Frog. These and many other stories open up to you once you decide to set foot into the literary World.
Languages. I know three, with one being a bit rusty. I am currently working intently on strengthening it. I believe that if I continue to apply myself in this regard then I should be able to finally conquer it. What language am I working on? Well, if you were to stack all the major works in it they would be as tall as a house... It is fun to go through different works in multiple languages, the same goes for film, games and such.
Games. I recently played Cyberpunk 2077. Well as recently as I played any major story centric game. Now that the dust has settled and the bugs mostly removed...It's not that bad. The main questline at least. Besides that I tried Fallout 76 (Very average, I'm dissapointed with what they made the "RPG" system) and I might give Deus Ex Manking Divided another spin (since it's somewhat similar to Cyberpunk when it comes to its aesthetics). Dark Souls is one of my favorite series, I still haven't beaten Elden Ring though. When it came out I wasn't in the right mindset to invest a hundred hours into it, with all those bosses and difficult locations. I think I'll only consider playing it if I am streaming it to someone. I am generally interested in either streaming games or having the person I am talking to stream them to me. To be specific I mean streaming to a single person while being on call. Besides that I'm a big fan of Paradox strategy games, especially Europa Universalis IV and Heats of Iron IV, I tend to only play single player since I find multiplayer with many people to be rather stressful but on the other hand I have nothing against a co-op game. I'm not the best player though, despite the ammount of hours I have in them. Another great game I would mention would be Dragon's Dogma. A very underrated RPG. I recently beat it again and it was an atmospheric and interesting experience. It is one of those games that feel like they have an endless ammount of depth and constant new secrets to discover.
Anime and Manga. In recent times my interest in them has waned but I still watch the occasional series here and there. Like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Which I found to be rather mediocre) and the very good first season from the new arc of Bleach. Some of my favourite series include: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Fate;Zero, Psycho Pass, Code Geass and Attack on Titan. I wouldn't mind if you were to introduce me to some new series, maybe based on the ones I mentioned. My favourite Manga is Berserk which I still follow, althought I am still not certain on the direction that the new author is taking. I suppose it really is a matter of contention whether a somewhat (or considerably warped) vision is better than an unfinished work. One could argue that a few novels remain unfinished and possess a macabre appeal to them as such.
Music. Classical music has a very special place in my heart. A few of my favourite pieces would be: Clair de Lune, Nocturne Op. 9 No.2, Devil's Trill Sonata, Danse Macabre, Valse Sentimentale, Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92: II. Alegreto (by Beethoven) and Suite from Swan Lake, Op. 20a: I. Scene. Moderato. There are more but these ones always invoke something in me when I listen to them. Besides Classical I also enjoy listening to Synthwave, old Western pop and J-pop, both modern and from the 20th century.
Esotericism. I am interested in things spiritual, mystical, magical and esoteric. I have read religios texts, magical grimoires, introductions to various schools of thought. It is interesting to me.
Epilogue
Hopefully I was able to cast the spotlight upon my inner World in a clear and unequivocal manner. I feel the need to add to the aforementioned that I am rather introverted, which means that I tend to dislike large social gatherings. I managed to condition myself to be able to endure the presense of large groups of people but it isn't something that I would seek out in most cases. Besides that I am neurodivergent and suffer from certain issues with mental health. I have to take medication to keep myself under control. They work well enough but certain days are harder than others. I respect the struggle that others have with mental health but in the context of a relationship I have my limits, no one with BDP for instance. I am also not looking for anything casual. I understand than one cannot demand depth and meaning from a conversation with an absolute stranger, that is akin to trying to build a sand castle right before the waves strike but I ask at least that you enter with a mindset that this might become something of significance. I also do want to say that I am completely Monogamous. My preference? The sickly, pale, intellectual who watches rain droplets slide down the window in Autumn. Lastly, if I enjoy the company of a person I tend to not want to let them go.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and have a good day. I ask that you send a DM instead of a chat and that you give the English translation of my title as your own.
Goodbye...Or perhaps untill we meet again

2024.05.19 09:38 Vivid_Employ_7336 Guitar and sax jazz duo playing the Real book - how to make it work?
I’ve never played small band (only orchestra), and never played the Real book with others, just for fun. But a mate and I want to set up a little jazz duo, maybe bring in one or two others if we get interest.
But I have no idea how to make the music work, and would appreciate advice!
The real book has chords and the vocal line, but lacks the killer horn and sax solos. Will I just play the vocal and he plays the chords?
Any idea where I find the sheet music for the solos? Or do I need to transcribe them myself (whelp!)
I’m on a steep learning curve to learn improv, but for now I can only play / read sheet music… happy to pay for the legitimate sheet music, just don’t know where to go for it.

2024.05.19 09:38 wompwompboop AITA for inviting a friend who’s mad at me to my party?
I (22F) invited my partner’s friend lets call him Don (23M) to my birthday party.
For context, roughly 6-7months ago I brought up the idea of a game night to Don and the rest of my partners friends. I wanted the whole game night thing to happen since about 2 months before I brought it up. I invited them thinking it would be a fun activity to merge my friend group and their friend group. Next thing you know, Don brought it up in their gc.
While in the process of planning and inviting, Don asked the gc if it was okay for the guys who had gfs to go. My partner(23M) said "Yeah well insert my name's gonna be there. Idk about you guys." Don's gf apparently saw this chat and took offense. Apparently she felt like we were outcasting her. For context, they're in a long distance relationship and that gc wasn't even a general gc but like their guys gc(friendgroup gc)
The gf, lets call her krishna, took major offense on what we did on the count that we didn't consider her feelings that unfamiliar people would be present in said game night. I just wanted to invite my friends because it was my game night to host too?? Anw long story short, the overnight/gamenight plan was reduced to a boys night with their friend group and because of the whole fiasco I didn't get to host it nor attend in the end.
Ff to today, I invited Don for my birthday. I asked my partner to dm Don asking him if he wants to come since him and my partner are close. Don and Krishna were once again offended with the invite because I was just repeating the same offensive thing(which I honestly do not understand) I did last time. Don said that by not sending the invite through the groupchat, we were not considering Krishnas feelings regarding the outcasting and unfamiliar people. First of all, if she didnt live thousands of kilometers away, I would have added her to the guest count. But since shes far away, its safe to assume I can count that she wont be joining. We’re not actively excluding her it was just a fact that she could not come and I had to familiarize the guestlist asap. Second, there would understandably be other unfamiliar people to them because ITS MY BIRTHDAY. If it was their friend gathering sure expect no other people. But I have my own set of friends so ur gonna have expect them to be there on my birthday. Third, the invite was done through dm not because we were outcasting her but because I told my partner he could only invite a limited number of people to the party because he has way too many friends and I can only cater a few additional people to the guestlist due to financial restrictions. If he sent the invite to the whole gc, I might have had to cater to more people than I accounted for. Lastly, everyone else was invited through dm. It wasnt a singling out situation.
Anyways Krishna is still mad at us and Im not entirely sure what I should even be apologizing for. AITA?

2024.05.19 09:32 steamoven Are there any experienced DigiTech teachers that wouldn't mind lending a hand?
Greetings! I hope everybody's terms are going well. I'm in Queensland if that helps!
I'm in my second term of teaching, and although I'm an experienced geek, I'm not an experienced programmer. Despite thinking I'd end up as an art teacher if anything (used to be a graphic designer), I'm now one of the few DigiTech teachers at the school I'm at (I teach years 7, 9 and 10). Bar from being decent at HTML/CSS, I just don't possess the skills I would like to at this point (I'm learning as I go along, but these things take time).
Despite this school existing for years, there is nothing within the school network that's useable for me in terms of past resources - no idea if the last DigiTech teacher gave them a DigiFU on the way out or what, but there's just nothing of value for me there. The HOD knows nothing about technology, nor does anybody else in my department, so I'm having one hell of a time trying to get feedback from anybody.
In spite of this, I've tried my best at creating assessments that I believe are in line with the content descriptors, but I have no real ideal way of knowing. The examples posted on ACARA don't even provide a rubric of what was covered throughout the assessment, which is proving less than helpful with my own plights.
In addition, I want to be able to create assessments that are engaging and fun. My year 10s, for example, were originally provided a Python game assessment (that they have to do within 6 lessons) before I took over their class mid-term. Sounds great, the last teacher actually wrote a decent assessment before he ragequit! However: MAJORITY of these kids are not interested in being in this class. At. All. They may as well be learning Mandarin at this point. I've thought about implementing a VR element to a future assessment, for example, but have no idea how to navigate which software is available on school networks and are the best to use (example: asked IT dude about utilising Unity for Education, he shrugged and said he didn't know - so now I don't know).
All that to say: are there any experienced DigiTech teachers out there that could graciously provide some assessment/rubric/elaboration examples? I just want to be able to compare my work with somebody who knows fully of what they're doing. I also fear doing things wrong, obviously.
Thank you!!!
