In general, we’re not taught early enough, if at all, to question both what we ‘perceive’ and the mental blabbering that makes up stories about it.

I had added it as pfp but then read someone saying smth about how “bad” handmade art is better, I liked the idea to try and make a silly drawing myself, then never got around to it.

Ooh that’s an easy one, it’s from this comment, credits to OP.

I’ve seen variations of it around here in other comments too, but this was the first one I saw and it cracked me up, so I took it. I’m some bigot’s worst nightmare

Thank you, it’s easy to see it when it happens to me but if I’m the one leaving things hanging I feel like either a missed opportunity or that I’m somewhat being rude (I’m not, and most likely the other party didn’t think nothing of it. I’m working on my sometimes distorted inner narrative).

This is a good insight; sometimes I feel like I have to know stuff to make a meaningful contribution, when maybe just cheering on can be enough.

I find it hard to keep a conversation going, maybe lack of skill on my part but usually idk what to reply and hit a dead end. So most of the time I just upvote in appreciation for taking the time to respond.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

That Nestlé mug is a nice detail.

Here, you dropped this

I want what those designers are having

I’m usually more bothered by the “I should be doing something” thought, with the implication of productivity but not necessarily profit oriented, more like house chores and so.

Aside from the unfortunate name of the university, I think that part of why LLMs may be perceived as smart or ‘smarter’ is because they are very articulate and, unless prompted otherwise, use proper spelling and grammar, and tend to structure their sentences logically.

Which ‘smart’ humans may not do, out of haste or contextual adaptation.

It’sreally good that you are seeing a therapist. I think it’s better to have professional help whenever possible.

Hope things get better.

This wasn’t my case, my parents were very well adjusted for the most part but it did happen to a former partner. It was usually accompanied by a deep silence and denial. Hope it gradually gets more normalized to at least talk about it; even if therapeutic alternatives may not be available, having support from friends and family is a huge improvement.
