Last Commented Self-Improvement Blogs (526)

Hey,
i'm constructing a studio (for temp accomodations) in a workspace behind my house.

So i'm now getting at the point of ordering the bathroom + kitchen build and am still doubting how to divide it..

Are there here any volunteers that can brainstorm with me?
Or give me some advice at my ideas.

The place is about 33m2. groundfloor. One door to the outside, one door to the main house.

OK, dozens of posts, fora and blogs on the topic. But getting a little technical, how about recalling them? Variables here. How vivid they might be. How much they relate to our lives, characters included. Wake up time---struggles to recall them---presence of distractions. Multiple and o*gasm ones. Ruses to aid recall. Persistance at such. Dream content---benign or troublesome. Sleep movements---somnambulistic, attacking bed partner. Repeat dreams, or some similar to day dreams. Hypnogogic/hypnopompic phenomena. Attempts to modify our dreams. Uses in talk therapies. Nightmares. Childhood traumatic recall ones. Dream heavy and scarce periods. After drinking/drugging. Dissociative phenomena. Lots more, but this ought to do for now. I had a half year run of almost none. Past few weeks, been bombarded. Ueber vivid, with many familiar characters. And can recall almost all even after breakfast, which is unusual. And now when one appears lost, a little help (alphabet soup, etc.) and it's back. WTF?

We all believe that we are unique, and yes you are unique, in that no-one will find another you anywhere on earth, but what about your offspring, are they not a part of you however remote, it might appear to you and others? Honest opinions please? And No bull-shitting?

Well, I just moved far away from friends and family this year in October, and so far, things are moving but kinda at a rocky start. However, I'm learning how to maneuver myself in an unknown place with unknown people. I'm learning a lot about myself on this journey; weakness I'm strengthening and strengths I'm perfecting. In the end, I know that I will reach the goals that I came here to do; I just have to stay focus and keep at it. I can feel and taste it now I just only have to bring it into reality.

How self-delusional do you think you are?

It is said that everyone thinks they are a good driver and have a good sense of humor.

I’ve seen people here write that they think they are smart, witty, funny, etc... and I am left scratching my head. I am not able to understand where they get that self-assessment from. Lol

Those same folks also seem to enjoy labeling others in an equally erroneous fashion.

Just wondering if I’m the only one who observes this behavior

The last time i was here in this blog more than 2 yrs i think and a lot of things happened in my life....but what i learned was happiness doesnt come from other people but within ourselves,been thru a lot of struggles pain,name it i had it but thanks god iam still standing,more stronger,and complete.
Love doesnt come easy and we dont need to search,we just have to wait and let god do the rest coz he knows what our hearts desire

The other day, I wrote a blog about me being lonely, and someone commented and asked if I was maybe depressed? To tell you the truth: I don't know. Maybe.

Usually when I am alone, I enjoy it, but other times I am so extremely lonely that I want to cry. Like properly bawl my eyes out. To prevent that from happening, I just put on some comedy or a song that I really love. But maybe it is good to have a cry once in a while.

I am VERY good at masking my true feelings. Some say that they don't know HOW I feel, because all they see is smiles and laughter. Maybe I should open up to them, and tell them how I really feel at a certain point in time. But that is not for now. I firstly need to think about how I am going to say it to them. Maybe in a few weeks, or maybe next year.

I know that online tests can be a bit... inconclusive.. But I took one, and it showed, that I have clear signs of a possible depression. I need to go to the doctor to see if the test is accurate, or if it is just a bit of a hag.

I will see if I can get a time on Tuesday, and then get myself checked out. I am worried about the result, to be honest.

insecurity
gnawing away their insides
turns to nastiness

(Senryu)

If someone does not approve of certain actions of a person, does that mean he/she HATES that person?
Labelling others as HATERS, MORONS, LOSERS, IDIOTS, IMBECILES, etc., merely because they may not approve of the actions of a person is childish, immature and reflects a certain measure of psychological insecurity.
If you do not agree with the views of others, then criticise their views logically and constructively rather than resort to name calling and deragatory remarks.


(Some of you may be familiar with Haiku.
It's a form of Japanese poetry consisting of three lines:
line 1 - 5 syllables,
line 2 - 7 syllables,
line 3 - 5 syllables
Haiku deals mainly with Nature.
Senryu has a similar format but its focus is on human behaviour.)

is it me or does this website only have mature women over the age of 40...am i on the wrong website?..

I think it may have been because I was frustrated at nothing interesting happening on the site last night that I ended up in one of my funny moods. The kind of mood where I feel like picking a fight; only a virtual fight, I wouldn’t dream of getting myself involved in a real one. So, anyway, I went into the forum and did precisely that; I started on someone I didn’t even know just because he didn’t wholeheartedly agree with something I’d posted.

It obviously annoyed him and he did fight back but I don’t imagine it caused him any distress. It did cause me some, though. I went to bed feeling guilty about it and it took me ages to get to sleep. When I did eventually drop off I was plagued by very uncomfortable dreams; one of which woke me and, not being able to go back to sleep, caused me to get up and have a cup of tea.

So, if anyone reading this blog finds me having a go at them for no apparent reason, sometime in the future, you can take satisfaction from the knowledge that it will hurt me more than you.
