IDK. It's pretty important to me what my co-workers, friends, family, and neighbors think of me. Even the people who provide services to you. It's all important what they think of you.

if they think you're a jerk, a failure, an idiot, etc. it'll have an outsized effect on your relationship with those people.

I read way too much into this. Is this really just saying "don't be afraid of failure"? That's much easier to say.

You know he just moved the stickers.

Congratulations and good job... Keep moving forward, and keep looking for a better future,

You're worth it, and you deserve it.

None that I'm aware of. The Last Jedi had questionable writing and the Rise of Skywalker was none the better.

hear hear

I don't think so

Tell your doctor you think you have ADHD and want to be evaluated for it by a specialist (eg psychiatrist). You have to advocate for yourself in healthcare. You can also search your insurance portal (all insurance companies have this) for ADHD - or call them directly to see how to achieve this. Part of coping with ADHD is figuring out how to get things done - no matter the route. Bug your doctor, bug your insurance company, be annoying - everyone with ADHD has that capacity, LOL!

Has she ever seen a Bette Davis movie? Or Katharine Hepburn? Or even Helen Slater in The Legend of Billie Jean, for crumb's sake?

You could have a series of small goals, or try new hobbies. A goal could be to learn to play the piano or grow tomatoes. It doesn't have to be grandiose.

I came here to comment I was having such a good time til I got to fucking Thatcher 😭

Love this! And to stay on track with my growth goals I found this newsletter very helpful..https://assignmenthumanity.substack.com/p/the-only-resolution-that-we-all-need

Keep growing!!! :-)

yes, but what someone thinks about me will affect how they treat me whether what they think is true or has anything to do with me or not. therefore, it affects me, which makes it my business.

I wasn’t that kind of teacher.. lol

I taught self defense, firearms basics and security consulting. It was very important to not let my students give up, because quitting your shooting classes because you can’t keep up, but still keeping your firearm is a scary thought. Same with self defense, I need people to know that ANYONE can keep themselves and their loved ones safe, and it doesn’t require a gun or ninja skills. Stuff like self awareness, common sense, and a little bit of basic planning goes a very long way. 90% of dangerous situations can be avoided before they ever happen.

You’d be surprised how many people feel like a failure when it comes to protecting themselves or their families and how devastating it is for them. They feel like crappy mothers, weak “un-manly” men, or an unworthy partner. I had to very often explain to people that it isn’t their job to be a soldier… basic knowledge and a few simple skills can do 90% of the work. Tap your collar bone or back of your hand lightly with the edge of your cellphone, try it.. hurts, doesn’t it? Surprisingly bad for such a light tap. It doesn’t take much to protect yourself if you know how.

50% of my job was instructing students, preparing classes and teaching, and the other 50% was teaching people to believe in themselves, reassuring people and sometimes answering “stupid questions” because other people who work in the firearms/defense industry are condescending jerks who treat people like morons for not knowing things that they consider “basic”…

So short answer, No. I never failed anyone, I tried to make sure everyone got what they needed from my class, whether it was firearms basics to get their carry license, self defense tactics or just someone to talk to about all of the questions they’ve been too afraid to ask about guns, defense, emergency situations or whatever else.

As a rule, I always believe in people. I know people are capable of so much more than they think they are. It shouldn’t take an emergency or life or death situation for you to recognize how incredible you are! Some people just look in the mirror with one eye closed and need to see themselves through someone else’s eyes who can see how much potential they have and how awesome they are. I don’t know you, but I know you’re incredible too.. I know you’re capable of really amazing things of you want to. Olympic athletes, geniuses and mothers who lift cars off their children aren’t another species… we’re all human. You’re capable of that too! That’s the mindset I keep when I teach or help people.

Hope that helps clarify, sorry if it was misleading or something… I have too much respect for actual academic teachers to try to compare myself to them!

I think the down voters missed your point, “Hold yourself accountable.” If you hold yourself accountable, you act in a manner that doesn’t violate or offend people. You have taken care of “people’s opinions”. Their opinions then don’t have to matter to you. I get you!

That just means I really didnt like it. I thought it so bad I googled what the hell that was about and found out that there is a cut from movies storyline in the books that explains that it had nothing to do with gender, but the hobbit who stuck the Witch King before her one liner did so with very special magic dagger that made Witch King vulnerable.

And furthermore, Samus Aran, inspired by Alien

"Get away from her you BITCH" -Ellen Ripley

Sure. This list was not good in a lot of choices lol. Not arguing that.

But you were saying how you didn’t understand how it ended up in the movie. And I’m saying that it had a lot of literary history to prove WHY it ended up there.

I don’t think I am ready for this yet, but saving for later!

I tried this , my face got pretty fucked up and I'm in a very severe condition

0 stars , not recommended

I think honestly there's people who for things life will never click for them. Those who will die on their death beds bitter and full of regret.

this puts it better than I could

You serious, Clark? I don’t see how anything that you wrote applies to what OP was expressing.

“Risk profile for engaging in one of these activities?” Who says OP was considering having an affair? All due respect, seems to be some sort of projection going on here.

I would’ve normally just chalked this response up as “ODD”.

But dear God, who are you to advise anyone to “see a therapist”? IDC who you are, that’s NOT OK.

100% agree. Life will never be about solving it - because whatever life presents to us we are redefining our own goals as we go and are very shifting. It’s a bad idea to think there’s a way to “reach it” as that’s not human nature, nor is the portrayal of generic success as shown here with success being a suit and tie job and other trope things

No Ellen Ripley, list is shit!
