fracture

idk if i could say this is surprisingly easy or even really easy at all. this has actually been one of the most difficult things i've worked towards accomplishing during my life

at least, this has been really difficult for me online; i think it's much easier in person to not be a dick lol

but if it's hard for me online, maybe it's hard for folks in-person, too

what does that distinction mean to you, aside from the literal wording being different?

oh you mean they're not diagnosed with depression, they are only reporting higher scores of anxiety and depression, i see

i don't understand what the implication is here. is more likely to report depression symptoms meaningfully distinct from having them? do we think that men born in the summer are just more honest about their mental health struggles?

Rule

i also miss cohost...

yoooo nice, yeah finding the collectibles in khazan has been kinda tough... i just wrapped my piss (friend group name for lies of p lmao) ng run and now i'm gonna do ng+ with plc... it took me like a year to finish piss LOL, i was really slow on it but i'm cooking now because of my friend group

anyone here on khazan aka HOT GUY SOULS?? great blend of fast paced combat, broken combos, and a varied and expressive defense game. and the protag is a hot guy. really really enjoying it, including the over-the-top korean revenge plot

thanks, i'll do my best!

yeah i'm interested (also i'm transmasc), i'm around pretty often on this account now, it's the main one i use for browsing lemmy nowadays

it would really be better for me if moderation stuff works on the boost client, idk if you know if it does or not (have never moderated before)

that's what happens when you start to push your skills to see as far as they'll go

although it seems like you may not have realized that skill is just a function of your natural ability, the people around you who might have taught you (or not) and... time invested

i think it's harder to view your skill as a part of your identity, once you realize that. like, i am very good at soulslikes / monster hunter, which is cool and flashy, but also... i've been playing them for almost ten years now, and games as a whole my entire life: of course i'm good at them

on the other hand, you might struggle to learn something despite your time invested... then it sucks, because you're probably missing something, or just not very naturally inclined towards what you're trying to learn. but you there's nothing you can do about that but seek out teachers and continue to try

at the end of the day, all you can really count as a merit for or against yourself is the time you've invested

...

all that said, we all recognize we each have inherent worth on the basis that we exist and we're alive... right? :)

good! keep not mentioning it. keep that momentum going

(sometimes talking about it makes you lose momentum... )

i've heard some people talk about how mindfulness can be a very stressful or triggering thing to get into, so usually i start by teaching folks distress tolerance / breathing skills. not meant as a critique, but figured i'd just add it here as additional information
