Hello there! For the past year, my roommate has been complaining that I'm bad at cleaning. Not that I don't do it, but specifically that when I do I'm not good at it. Most notably, I've been told that I don't sweep the floors correctly and miss a lot of dust when I clean. Lately I've tried...

I've found that a lot of group roleplays don't have the same age requirement that a lot of people have when looking for a compatible rp partner. If that holds any interest for you it's definitely worth checking out some group roleplays. Otherwise, I wish you luck with finding another minor, or...

I'd be happy to, though I'm an MA student (on temporary leave) for social science and experimental psych, not licensed or anything like that. So my knowledge is a bit rusty on a lot of specifics regarding mental health. It's an interesting topic though

Tea for sure. Never been a coffee fan, even in icecream flavors. Lately I've been drinking English breakfast pretty much constantly to wake me up. I also like mint teas, ginger and camomile, but there are many kinds I don't like. I'm sensitive to bitter flavors. Gotta say though, folks who can...

Hi there ^_^ I identify as bisexual (it's hard not to when girls are so cute). There's definitely a population of LGBT users on here, so hopefully you make a lot of new friends :D

Yeah, it's unfair and manipulative of him to take advantage of the fact that you're inclined to believe him if he says you misspoke. The fact that he's fucking with you means that you can't always take him at his word that you actually misspoke, but he's got the advantage in a way that makes you...

People tend to be manipulative by nature. It's a survival tactic because feeling wrong can be damaging to one's self esteem. But it's possible to counteract your behavior if you feel like you tend to gaslight people. Look at the behavior you think might be hurtful to the other person and...

It's a little more forgivable when you forget things unwillingly. People tend to make allowances for that, so long as you're honest and accept that the other person likely remembers a bit better than you (though be careful if it seems like the other person blames you excessively, because that is...

That sounds very difficult to endure! I'm sorry that you had to go through that :( It is good that you can recognize that behavior for what it is since you can have more certainty in yourself now. Though it is still hurtful even when you know that such behavior is manipulative. No one deserves...

I've recently been quite frustrated by the amount of subtle and blatant gaslighting that I've had to endure. I often like to give people the benefit of the doubt, assuming that people rarely have malicious intent, and I stand by that. However, manipulating other people can be quite harmful...

Honestly, I think the example brought up is a very good one of where the religion itself differs from it's sacred text. One might very well choose to read that passage literally, in which case they will reach the logical conclusion of "that's way too extreme, Christians are crazy!", but in truth...

I find the concept of free will inherently fascinating. To draw it back around to the subject of religion, I want to propose an interesting theological question for those who believe in God/gods. For the non-religions folk, it may still be fun to think about in a philosophical sense. Let's say...

When it comes to religion, I'd say I'm most familiar with the Catholic Church, so what I have to say deals primarily with that branch of Christianity. The God of Christianity has not, to my knowledge, been presented as a jealous God (at least not in the modern meaning of the word). Depending on...

To the best of my knowledge, the commonality between branches of Christianity is belief in the Holy Trinity, and by extension belief in Jesus and his teachings. Most everything else is either residual from it's Jewish origins, or varies between branches (both what is taught and what is...

I mean, at a certain point, you should read a comment comparing Jesus to Hitler and reach one of two conclusions. 1. It's baiting, and therefore a waste if time and energy to respond or get upset about it. 2. The person has reached that conclusion because they equate Jesus with God (as idea...

Ahhh I see what you mean now. You're saying that Eastern religions promote unity with the world rather than unity among mankind. I'd posit that the reason for this is that many Asian cultures already achieved unity among humanity. That's not too say there weren't conflicts, I don't mean to...

I think I see the distinction you are making, but I'm not entirely sure. You seem to be implying that it is out of altruistic motivations that people show kindness to their neighbors in Christianity, rather than a desire to feel personal satisfaction or peace. Part of my confusion lies in the...

I disagree with this assertion. The idea of showing compassion to an enemy (also called universal love in some religions) has existed long before Christianity. Peacemakers have always existed among humans, but more than that, there are older religions which include kindness and peace as a core...

I'm actually rather surprised, as this thread has progressed a lot more constructively than might be expected with the tone of the original post. There are some instances of insults and degenerating other's beliefs though, and I'd like to ask people to please cut that out. You don't need to...

I still disagree. TV shows work best when there's a formula that each episode follows (there needs to be a smaller story within the confines of the episode that factors into the larger story of the season). Some books follow a formula that's close enough and would be possible to translate into a...
