Im watching season 2 ep 9 when Andy is singing outside of Linda’s home. After the flowers, the balloons… I don’t know it feels really weird like he barely even knows her ! How can he be so madly in love with her and trying so hard to have her after she said no? Something feels off. Especially for Andy’s character…
Is it just me ?
I just saw that episode and it seems like she is telling him he can’t ever date Linda, whereas in the future she would be able to accept other dates.
Is there any explanation of why she is against Linda ? Is it the food ?? lol
Hello
I (25F) pretty much never dated anyone or had any intimacy due to some trauma in childhood.
Plus, I have self harm scars and I hate my body.
And I feel like this female colleague I met a few month ago is hitting on me ? Maybe she is not I dont know. I can’t help but thinking “how on heath would SHE like ME?”
She already invited me for a drink and told me that she liked girls but found it complicated to know if her “dates” were just friends or real dates. She is standing super close to me a lot of the time but maybe she is like that all the time. And then she invited me to the swimming pool TOMORROW!! I’m so so not ready to show her my body, I’m sure she’ll hate it.
I tried to warn her saying I was insecure and that she had the prettiest body ever (she does) and she responded “I think the same of yours”. But she hasn’t really see it really.
Anyways she is a physician, she is HOT, she is smart and nice and funny and I’m not that. Is she just being nice ? And what do I do I can’t transform myself by TOMORROW
Help me please
Im 5’1 and 124lb (1m58 - 56kg) and my calorie app tells me to eat 1200kcal a day. And when I actively try to eat this much daily I’m appalled by how little this is.
And I’m NOT a big eater.
At all…
But 1200 is so low…
But I don’t lose weight if I don’t track my calories. And, I go to the gym twice a week + 1 hour of horse riding per week. I often bike and walk. My metabolism is really slow even after more than a year eating without any restriction.
I struggled with self harm from 11yo to 23yo. I know the struggle, I really do and I also know how sometimes when you are in so much pain you want everyone to see that you are hurting and SH is also a way to show the world this.
It’s why I guess some of you want big scars. It’s also about showing to yourself that you are legit and really hurting.
i have big red cheloid scars all over my arms and at the time when people told me that I was going to regret it I thought to myself that I wouldn’t because a part of why I was SH was to show myself and the world my pain.
BUT
now, I can’t wear short sleeves at work, or at family gatherings… and when I do wear short sleeves people stare. Strangers on the street, at restaurants, in public transportation, they stare and think. And I can’t control what they think but I know it’s probably nothing good, or at least nothing I would want complete strangers to think about me.
Same when i meet people for the first time in casual events and they see it and I can’t say anything about it and just accept that the first image they have of me is a person who used to SH. And even if I’m not ashamed of what I went through and what I did to survive, I’m ashamed of having everyone seing something so intimate of me. It’s like they are seing me naked and I can’t even explain. They just see it, think what they think, and I’m left ashamed and feeling so so so exposed.
I went through terrible trauma in my life and I used to really deeply think it was all of me and that I needed SH to survivre and didn’t care if anyone saw it in the future.
Trust me, it’s NOT easy….
It really is completely exposing.
You can’t control what people think and what they tell themselves when they see you but sometimes I can’t see the shock in their eyes and all I want to do is hide.
Most of the time I wear long sleeves. But it’s getting hotter and hotter and sometimes I just want to enjoy being out without burning. And hard to find light long sleeves clothing. Plus, when you are the only one wearing long sleeves in summer heat, people also perceive something.
So yeah. Maybe it can help you. I hope so. If not it’s okay, you are doing what you can.
[Q] better statistical index : mean or % by range of score ?
Im a PhD student in psychology. I have always learned that if the standard deviation are big it’s better not to use the mean as the main description for a sample. But my thesis director recently told me to prioritize the mean in my presentation because “I have a small sample”
I have a 80ish individuals sample who answered a depression questionnaire.
Statistically, is it more representative / accurate to say the mean score is 12,4 for example or to say that 82% of the sample scores above xx which is the cutoff score for depression?
And can you explain why ?
Thanks !
