OOOOoOOOOOOoooo running into literally anyone from high school

OOOOoOOOOOOoooo being stuck in an unwanted conversation with a talkative stranger or distant relative

OOOOoOOOOOOoooo getting invited to a pyramid scheme party by a close friend

OOOOoOOOOOOoooo hearing an unexpected knock at the door

can’t have short hair at one of my jobs

I’m really curious about what kind of job that could be lol

Do you use a diffuser?

I think a lot of the people on Lemmy came from Reddit when the whole API thing happened. It was pretty much a boycott. I assume most of the people who cared enough about that to leave were mostly left-leaning.

That’s why I’m here, at least.

Edit: not sure about Mastodon, though

Idk… a good therapist can do a lot of good. But I can’t in good faith blame you for having that perspective.

There are some really shitty ones out there, and then there are the ones that seem to try, but just aren’t very good. I’ve experienced both myself.

I’d argue that it’s dumb as fuck either way.

Unfortunately, yes. My relationship with food in particular has always been kind of messy since I was a kid, especially when I’m going through an especially difficult time mental health-wise. But I try to be mindful of that, and eat healthily for the most part.

If I feel like I’ve overeaten that day/the past few days, I can definitely feel pretty guilty. But IMO, most things are fine in moderation. Food is a crucial and wonderful part of life, and I’m uninterested in completely cutting out something I genuinely enjoy.

I grew up as a Lutheran Christian in a small, conservative town—and attended Sunday School/summer Bible camp for many years—but became an agnostic after I began questioning things at 16 years old. About a month after that, I became an atheist. I’ve been one since… so almost 14 years.

Unfortunately, I was afraid to tell my parents, so I still went to church with my family almost every Sunday until I left at 18. I was also still effectively forced to be anacolyte/perform piano/sing in the choir/attend most other church activities. Fucking painful.

I still haven’t told my parents, though, and probably never will; it’d cause more pain than anything else, sadly.

Primarily… gaming, cooking, and makeup. Also reading, listening to music, and (if you count it) watching movies and TV shows.

I’m a creative person who likes to write/make other art as well, but I don’t do it nearly as often as I’d like to.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t begin to imagine what kind of horrible person does that kind of shit to anyone, let alone someone who struggled so much with their mental health.

It sounds like you were a great friend to him.
