Reply to comment by phadrus56 in LPT: the rubber nubs on a stern quality masturbation glove can also make for quick work of not only, say, the dishes but also in pre-meal prep when scrubbing potatoes and other root crops by [deleted]

Ok, it’s spelled correctly in the title and I bet you got a red, squiggly underline when you typed it, how did you fuck it up? It’s a ‘U’ masrUrbation. Learn it, use it.

Sorry, pet peeve.

Reply to LPT: If you always listen to music or the radio when you drive, make sure to do occasional drives without sound to listen to your car for a few minutes. There could be something quietly scraping, grinding, or dragging and you would never hear it until it’s too loud and too late. by The_Big_Crouton

I'd rather just turn the radio up to make the noises go away, if they're loud enough that I can hear them over the music or feel something physically wrong through the floor I'll close the windows to make it even harder to hear.

Not where I thought this was going. Stop the music to enjoy the silence and to be one with nature was what I was expecting. But this is helpful too.

Anything grinding or screeching is obviously bad.

A lot of other things it wouldn't hurt to ask a mechanic on. Good shops will be willing to listen and advise.

Reply to comment by aim_so_far in LPT Request: How to lose emotions from your face permanently? by todiecena

No one wants to deal with someone crying during a time of crisis????? Really, person?? Speak for yourself.

i am one of those, if privileged enough to be in someone’s space as they cry, i will just hold them and listen.

in my rare times of crying i would hope that someone comes and hold my hand as i express myself. and they have. they don’t need to say anything. just be there. and there, they are.

There is something to be said to feel safe enough to express emotions, with someone.

If YOU can’t handle someone’s crying, just say that.

I am NOT a psychologist, but we might share the same type of personality: Empathetic.
My advice is to seek professional advice. Do not try and hold your emotions inside of yourself! Speaking from personal experience, a truly sensitive, honest individual who “holds in” their emotions will manifest other physical illnesses. Like high blood pressure. I have measured this in real time! It certainly isn’t “normal” to cry and be “so sensitive”, but it is probably a great and rather precious rare gift to understand, and Develop this gift by seeking professional help. I do hope you find happiness in your journey.

Reply to comment by randompersons90 in LPT: Don't look at your clock when waking up during the night to increase your quality of sleep. It's a lot easier to fall back asleep when you don't keep track of the sleeping time you still have left. by migudude

Lol, that pretty much is how it works, though. Not that it's quick or easy, not at all, but consciously and consistently making a decision to let go of the things that cause you anxiety is literally one of the best ways to train your brain to work differently beyond medication.
