I spent years thinking I was just "naturally quiet." Turned out I wasn't shy, I was operating on survival mode. My nervous system was stuck in freeze response, my thoughts felt foggy, and genuine self expression felt impossible. I'd rehearse conversations in my head but go blank when it mattered. Sound familiar? After diving into books, research, neuroscience podcasts, and actual therapy, I realized something wild: most of us aren't dealing with shyness. We're dealing with nervous system dysregulation, unprocessed emotions, and a society that never taught us how to actually connect with ourselves first. The good news? This is fixable with the right tools. Here...

I'm a proposal coordinator for a large construction firm (about $1B in revenue). My entire job is responding to RFPs for commercial and municipal projects. Over the past few years, I've probably created 200+ proposals, and I started noticing a pattern in what makes proposals win or lose. It's not about a fancy proposal presentation (just needs to look professional). It's about answering the specific question they're asking. Here's what happens on every single proposal cycle. We get an RFP with a two week deadline. I spend the first week hunting for content. Where's the updated resume for our project manager? Which past project actually matches what this RF...

I am 18 MtF, weighing 140 kg at 194 cm. My chronic meds are usually Buspirone, Fluoxetine, Flupentixol, Lurasidone, Dexilant, Sodium Valproate and Bisoprolol. My physical diagnoses include an Unspecified Subtype of EDS and Dysautonomia. I started experiencing visual disturbances at 5. Eventually by 10/11 I began experiencing mood symptoms and by 13 I was in active psychosis and slowly got worse and worse until I was hospitalised just before my 14th birthday. The doctors there diagnosed me with Autism and Psychotic Depression and put me on Olzanzipane (which I went off 3 months later due to significant weight gain). When I got back home, I started seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist and t...

I quit gambling When I first started sports betting, I’d figured I was smart, and was able to keep my head above water for a few months, betting a bit here and there, always barely staying in the black. I got cocky. I used gambling as a proxy for achievement in my life, feeling that every win proved how ‘smart’ or ‘lucky’ I was. And then that achievement ran out. I let Money become my master, and now I have only losses to show for it. Last night, I snapped. I lost \~$100 on a couple parlays, then lost $100 on another few, then they failed too. I panicked and spent $500 trying to chase it, and then doubled down and spent $1,000 chasing that, until eventually I blew through my cash...

Spoiler alert : No To give you some context, I’m an early adopter of Revolut in France. I’ve used the Standard, Premium, and Metal plans, and I recently upgraded to Ultra. For a few years now, Revolut has been my main bank where I receive my salary. What I expected from a bank, Revolut more or less delivered: the ability to perfectly manage my bank account and educate myself financially. I also work freelance and can manage my business account on it too. Which is pretty cool, I have to say. Now, let's get to how Revolut could be genuinely better. What's missing is a management tool and a proper explanation of all the features available on the app. It's a shame that not ...

This week’s vintage listing features celluloid pens from major makers of the 1920s-30s in uncommon designs and color patterns with unusually flexible nibs, including several Wet Noodles and one Retrofit: the custom installation of a 14k iridium-tipped dip pen nib that’s adjusted and tuned to ensure factory performance. As always, all are fully restored and ready to write.   [ALBUM & TIMESTAMP](https://imgur.com/a/68KQ4r9)   Pastable link: https://imgur.com/a/68KQ4r9 Note: If you’re unable to expand album photos to full size, try opening the link in a different browser.   **Condition (n.b.):** All pens listed below have been disasse...

I tried posting this in /r/freelance but received no responses … so I’m hoping this sub can help? TL;DR: Multiple clients, 3 computers, 2 monitors, 1 60 x 24 desk, and so many crossed cords I’m losing my marbles. Looking for advice on how others keep their work spaces optimized and minimally chaotic 🫠💀 I’m a designer who has been laid off a couple times in the last few years so I have started working freelance in the interim and have built relationships with more than a few clients now. I primarily use my own MacBook, which has been fine. However, in the fall I was onboarded for contract work with a large company that sent me a Windows laptop and I am physically unable to d...

I've been using the free Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows for years without (many) errors. I use it for my main Windows 10 desktop as well as two Windows 11 laptops for my family. All backups are configured to write to a CIFS share which on the backend is a USB drive connected to my TP-Link wireless router. This hasn't been a problem until I upgraded all the agents to the newest version (currently 13.0.1.1009) My USB drive is a 6TB disk with about 1.2TB free. Prior to upgrading to v13, I had about 500GB free on the disk and was getting "low disk space" warnings after a successful backup. I reconfigured all backup jobs to store 3 days worth of backups instead ...

So I got deactivated for fraud apparently taking too long to reach the customers but I have 17/20 on time deliveries the last 2 weeks any coming back from this or nahhhh?

We have engagement pictures in 2 weeks and I am feeling really defeated! I usually prefer to shop in store. I want to see how things will look on me because I'm short, in-between sizes, and have a small chest. But I've exhausted all of my options in my area and have found NOTHING!!! Where are we shopping for dresses online for engagement pictures that hopefully won't break the bank and will get here quickly? I'm looking for something with sleeves and a midi-length dress. I'm 5'1", usually run a 1x/2x 16/18, and a B cup. Please send me suggestions. 🙏

My girlfriend keeps says I don't do anything special for her, she gave me examples of how she bought a \~$500 dyson hair product and \~$500 coat and how I wouldn't have gotten her something like that. At the time I did slightly joke with her that her coat was overpriced (I got my own coat for a little over $100). She is in a good career and does make more money than I do currently and she said even her work does more for her than I do (they are comping some travels for her recently for example). We've been together for a few years, I lived in her country for a few months and we travelled to other countries a few times for multi-month times. Only within the past 7 months or so...

I know I’m a god-awful person and don’t deserve children, so please just save it. I need to get this off my chest and I don’t have anyone to talk to. I have a 6 1/2 year old son with ADHD. He’s been diagnosed for almost 2 years now. He’s constantly hyperactive, but our biggest issue is emotional regulation and explosive rage. He has zero emotional regulation abilities and never has, despite being in therapies since he was 3 (talk and occupational). Any time he is told something he doesn’t want to hear, he snaps immediately, and flies into a blinding rage that can last 30 minutes to hours. Time for breakfast. Snap. Have to get dressed for school. Snap. Can’t eat 2 bags of muffi...

Why one good leather piece per trip beats a closet full of regret People think buying leather for every trip is indulgent. Soft luxury talk. Instagram nonsense. It isn’t. It’s logistics. Memory. Skin-on-bone practicality. I’ll say it plain. If you travel and you care even a little about how things age, how they work, and how they stick with you, then buying one proper leather item per trip is not consumerism. It’s a system. This is how grown-ups build a wardrobe. Slow. Deliberate. With scars. --- The Core Idea (No Marketing Sugar) You don’t buy leather because it’s “nice.” You buy it because it lasts, adapts, and remembers. A leather jacket worn through an Italian s...

Kherson Kherson for an empire shall be rebuilt from the ashes of a previous one that once was but shall be rebuilt into a new empire. Four days before the L.A fires an investigator was setting there looking up at the clock seeing that it read 9 51 A hard edge investigator setting there As he looked to half made sloppy looking submarine sandwich, a detective who was ready to retire two lunches ago. Still reeling from earlier after coming upon a wreck this morning reeling not from the two dead bodies in it. Just reeling from that SOB state trooper of having to remind him that working wrecks on the interstate just wasn’t his job. As he stood there looking at the charred burned out bodies...

Ok, I am tired of box store drill bits being worthless after less than a dozen uses. What are some good recommendations for both wood and metal for hobbyists? I am not making a living with them, but I am a pretty serious hobbyist and DIYer.

Been saving for an iPod classic and saw they were around 200 on eBay. Went to a thrift shop with the gf and I found one with accessories. Whole store was 25 percent off so I got it for less than 60!

This is so cool. I just figured it out (thanks ChatGPT). Probably super useful for office or school.

I am not the best at writing so please bear with me. Additionally, there are a lot of details from when I was very young that I don't remember, and some I just don't have, but I'll do my best to share the crucial parts of my journey. And I'll often refer to it as "Mormon" or "the Mormon church" because that's what they are, in spite of their rebranding efforts. I don't care what they want to call themselves these days. \----- I was born in the early 1980s. I was an only child from my parents though I did have some half and step siblings. My biological parents were converts; they joined the church before I was born and were sealed in the tem...

Hi. I’m 26f and my fiance is 28m. We can call him James (fake name). James and I have known eachother since we were 15. We have been together for 6 years now, engaged for 2, and living together for almost 3 years. Our relationship overall the past years has been great. But recently…things have been really shaky and different. And I have resentment growing. So let me get into the details. I have no one else to talk to about this. For the past year we continue to have this dead end argument. I feel he is not meeting me anymore emotionally where I need him to be. I always knew since the beginning that he is less emotional than me. I’m deff the emotions of this relationship. That being sa...
