Reply to comment by MKE_Now in LPT Single men at a bar/club should wish the bachelorette in a bachelorette party a “happy birthday” to get introduced to the entire group. by [deleted]

If you think that blatantly manipulating people to get a conversation started is equivalent to being honest and introducing yourself, regardless of the outcome, you might want to re-evaluate. One is lying, the other isn’t. Not sure why that’s so hard to understand. Either way, how about just let them enjoy their night without trying to get your dick wet? They’re not there for you that night, or maybe any other night, especially with the way you feel it’s fine to manipulate them for your own gain.

Or is this approach giving them an easy out to not talk to someone if they don’t want to by simply correcting them and moving on, versus having to put them in a position of having to actually reject someone nice futility starting a conversation?

So by the same token if I go up and say “hi I’m ____ congratulations on the wedding” that’s somehow more respectable? Am I not still invading their space and not giving them an easy out to tell me off if they’re not interested in talking?

Reply to comment by smuglator in LPT: If someone is talking loudly over speakerphone in public and you want them to shut up, join in on their conversation. by ConnieKai

Disagree, I'd give my left nut to throttle my last boss. I just wouldn't go to prison for it. Or risk my personal health.

My last day there, I realized I could burn the place down. I saw there for almost 10 minutes considering it. And that, kids, is how you know you need to quit without notice.

Reply to 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

This has also worked for me. But I'm not sure if it would have worked without the alarm clock I have. It has the feature that it starts to shine 30 minutes before the alarm, getting brighter before starting to ring.

If the alarm clock is shining, I know it's time to get up. If it's not shining, I know there's enough time to sleep more. I don't need to worry I'll fall asleep 2 minutes before the alarm ringing.

Reply to LPT request: Can anyone give me a couple ideas or things to try, that might alleviate some of the guilt and shame I (28F) feel? by magdeedz

So i think the one thing that will actually help you is the one thing you said you half assed. Therapy. Go deal with your demons and get professional help and advice on how to appropriately make ammends. Its literally all you can do. Maybe people will never forgive you. Maybe your actions are unforgiveable. Regardless, you either learn to process it so its doesnt consume you, or you need to numb you feelings in an unhealthy way. Therapy is the right choice. If you dont like the therapist, find a new one.

Reply to LPT: turn off your phone sometimes by OtherworldDk

Taking a break from your phone can be a great way to stay focused and present in the moment. It can also provide a great sense of peace and relaxation. Additionally, it can be a great way to connect with people around you, as you can give them your full attention.
