Hello,
I came across a few pictures of results of liposuccion/body contouring/masculinization surgery. They are pretty amazing; but I am wondering if such results would be achievable with exercise and hormones alone. i have been 2 years and a half on hormones, i am fairly lean 167cm and 61kgs, but i am still unhappy with my silhouette. can someone give me some opinion? thanks
Hello, Im in my mid twenties and I downloaded a dating app meant for ace people, hoping that people won't be inappropriate there. Well unfortunately I got hit on by multiple men twice my age, and I am very surprised, in a bad way. Even if its not sexual, it still can be predatory. I also got multiple members of the app telling me that its actually not predatory. Not really a safe space. Ill stick to more traditional dating apps where you can actually select who sees your profile.
Hi, I work with a someone who is hard to work with. There is nothing I can do about it. Is the best coping strategy to focus on detaching yourself from work (work life balance), or is it just to be healthier in general (do more sport, sleep better)? Or is there anything better I can do?
Hello,
I am wondering how I could make my self esteem better? I feel horribly embarassing and I cringe at myself all the time. I have problems with my appearance and my eating. I feel like a criminal for being attracted to anyone. I also feel like Im gonna lose my job bc i feel terribly incompetent. All those insecurities torment me daily and they all have roots in things my parents have hammered in my head.
I know logically im not lal those bad things, but my belief is that i am rotten and bad at my core and that tere is nothing to save. Because of this, ive been self sabotaging and punishing myself all the time.
How can i work on that? ive been to therapy but i feel like its not helping enough.
My mom used to tell me not nice stuff, she told me 10 insults in one sentence, she didnt stop harassing me, and she followed me around. She didnt let me get away from this, i couldnt listen to music, or go outside, or talk to someone else. She stole my medications when i got mental health medication, and she stole my ear plugs when i bought some. She overwhelmed me until i cried or shouted back at her. She basically didnt let me cope or ground myself, and because of this, me and my sibling have absolutely no ability to cope with upsetting stuff. (I learned some through therapy, and I have medication now)
Is this a deliberate technique to abuse someone, or is it just her fucked up personality?
If the same model can be characterized with different sets of axioms, lets say ABC or BCD, is violating axiom A that important, if u know the model can be derived without this axiom? I believe the Shapley value for example can be derived through different sets of axioms
Hi,

Hi all,
I have a question. I have suffered for most of my life from social (now mostly cured) anxiety, and other forms of anxiety.
I would say anxiety severely impacts my daily life and my professional life. I have often find myself unable to go to office because of it.
I have been in a severe burnout with suicidal tendencies last year (that i escaped after a few months).
I have sought the help of psychiatrists and general practictionners but none of them really helped, they just told me to seek therapy. I only got a week of xanax prescribed when my dad died.
I am being followed by two therapists and I think I am doing much better thanks to them, but not enough. Is medication for GAD really not a thing? In which cases is it really prescribed?
My mom noticed that i was ghosting her and she started sending me flying monkeys (my brother, family friends). It makes me very anxious. I am ignoring everyone but it sucks, because Im very stressed with work atm.
this is the first time i can speak about my family without being questionned, i love this community🫶
I have received this email from my late father's email adress.
Long story short, my dad died and my mom abused me hard to cope with her feelings (denying me food, toilets, medication, health insurance, going out, going to the doctor, and the pharmacy, and blaming me 24/7 for his illness and death).
I already have a chronic illness. She sent me two times to the ER as a result of this abuse and I was homeless for a bit (while waiting for the funeral).
This pushed me to cut contact. Now, she is trying to guilt me into letting me back into her life again. She has been using my dad's death to say horrible things and guilt me.
Thankfully, I have a job (she pressured me to not accept the offer for months) and I am financially independent, and safe away from her.
Hi,
Something bothers me when i read about ambiguity attitudes. From what i understand, ambiguity attitudes are about event/probability weighting, rather than about subjective probabilities. I cant help but wonder, wouldn't a person who is very ambiguity averse already form some pretty skewed subjective probabilities? I know that you can separate cleanly subjective probabilities and probability weighting, but arent there some mechanisms underlying both?
