How have you learnt to be able to admire someone else's beauty without questioning your own?

It helped me to recognize that there are as many different types of beauty as there are people and animals and sights to behold. Beauty outside myself does not invalidate my own beauty.

First kiss. God it was so bad that I really went home thinking I might like girls. As I've come to find out, kissing is not supposed to entail sticking your entire tongue into someone's mouth. The worst is that he thought he was such a good kisser and player kind of person....yikes...

How annoyed do you get when female characters in movies and tv shows say they aren't wearing any makeup, while the actress is clearly wearing plenty of makeup?

Not at all. It's tv. Also haven't really seen (or maybe not noticed) characters directly say they aren't wearing makeup while wearing it. More typically it's characters wearing makeup that's our of place like after waking up or when trapped in a situation where it doesn't make sense. I can't think of a specific scene or show where I've ever been taken out of the story because of makeup however sometimes with clothes I have a moment of "but where the hell?" before I ignore it.

No one really takes the time to evaluate every Biden has done since he came to office, and try to weigh everything and adjust expectations based on realities. So with that in mind, and skipping over those on the right who were probably going to respond negatively regardless, we have: - People unhappy that the bills in Congress don't do enough (you don't have to tell me this isn't up to Biden, or point out that it wouldn't have happened at all under Republicans) - People unhappy that Covid still exists (without a way to compare with a non-Biden administration under which their lives may be even worse) - People unhappy with inflation (without a way to compare with a non-Biden administration under which their lives may be even worse) And the list goes on. You can tell me that it's not Biden's fault. I know. But the people polled haven't put that much thought into it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskALiberal/comments/k602tz/why_is_the_left_so_bad_at_framing_policy/

gei3gwe

The progressive wing seems to have evolved in a way where, at this point, it is very common for them to embrace radicalism and controversy for its own sake. With the idea that pursuing "respectability politics" is outright bad and a betrayal of people they seek to advocate for. I've also seen some outright say ideas like the point of protests and activism are to make people uncomfortable and be shocking, rather than to convince people. I guess the idea is that shocking people will get them to support a policy somehow rather than just oppose it... Seems like a lot on the left think politicians should be activists more than politicians in the first place, and don't really support putting much in the way of cautious strategy behind that activism

Ended the fairness doctrine which effectively ended unbiased news and has led to the emergence of "entertainment news" so news with partisan bullshit, Sean hannity, tucker Carlson, etc. The fairness doctrine was not perfect but it did protect the idea unbiased news and once it was gone, that's when we weve seen for profit media take every opportunity to drive negative news stories 24/7 for the last 40 years to drive engagement and increase profits. And now, they've adopted this model to keep a certain right wing political party enraged every day for the last 10 years. Reagan took away the good things government protected. Things that worked, economically, militarily, and socially and changed everything, and it's been a slow slide ever since. Also of equal importance and which has been mentioned here, is reganomics. Supply side economics fails. And the only people who still argue in favor of it are economists who believe too deeply in billionaires goodwill and seem to forget of opportunity costs. Had the trickle gone straight to workers, it would have had an exponentially larger effect on the overall economy with the majority of that money being spent and invested locally and vastly been a better for people's lives. Instead the rich get exponentially richer. If you look or care about the national deficit and debt, there's a graph that goes through the the last 100 years and up until Reagan, the budget is balanced and the country had minimal debt. After Reagan, it clearly begins the shift towards poor stewardship on bahlf of Republicans for the sake of increased corporate profits. I believe the last balanced budget we had was with Clinton.

Blindly believing something because most people in the field believe it and you want to believe it isn't pro science. Yet that's what most people of all stripes do but the left especially. For example let's just use homosexuality. Homosexuality used to be universally agreed among the high minds of medicine to be a mental ailment. You could get committed even. It really wasn't that long ago. Then suddenly the pendulum swing hard the other way and it was fine. Now, if I ask the average person on the left which view they believe is right they'd doubtless say the latter. That answer is anti science as all hell. They didn't read any of the deep studies that the professionals in the first group performed to reach their view that homosexuality was a mental illness. They certainly didn't read up on the work of the professionals whose contrary conclusions became the more popularly adopted ones. They can't cite the difference scientifically between the two views. Yet they will assert that one scientific view is right, the other is wrong and those who disagree are crazy and hate-filled and antiscience because most people in that field today believe this way.

Kind of on the opposite side of your question, I worked as a rehab therapist for several years in the behavioral health field. I am now in school for occupational therapy and plan on continuing to work in mental health. Some things that I did with my clients: ​ * Most of my job was providing encouragement and positivity. I was the person who cheered them on, helped them believe in their abilities, and made them feel better about themselves. When life gets you down it helps to have someone in your corner. * Provided helpful resources for them as needed. Financial resources, food pantries, support groups, community activities, you name it! * Taught them techniques on how to manage stress/frustration/depression/anxiety/etc. Medicine and therapy are important tools to getting "better," but so are meditation and mindfulness, sunshine, healthy eating, exercise, good sleep, relaxation, fun, and support networks. * Educated them on healthy and unhealthy relationships. A lot of my clients had no idea that their friends/family members were greatly contributing to their depression and anxiety and continually allowed them to sabotage their self-esteem. On the other hand, I had several patients who were the toxic ones and wondered why they had so much difficulty making and keeping healthy friendships. Therapy can be a great tool, but it's important to find a therapist that is right for you. A good therapist should be like a chameleon, adapting to the client's specific needs. Unfortunately, not all therapists are good. There is so much more to therapy than they teach you in school. If you're in therapy and you don't feel comfortable being open and honest with your therapist, don't hesitate to switch therapists.

Subreddit: ASKWOMEN - Quality: MEDIUM - Post: "Go to therapy" is a VERY popular solution among our posts... People who have "gotten better", please explain in more detail what therapy has entailed for you? - Comment: Kind of on the opposite side of your question, I worked as a rehab therapist for several years in the behavioral health field. I am now in school for occupational therapy and plan on continuing to work in mental health. Some things that I did with my clients: ​ * Most of my job was providing encouragement and positivity. I was the person who cheered them on, helped them believe in their abilities, and made them feel better about themselves. When life gets you down it helps to have someone in your corner. * Provided helpful resources for them as needed. Financial resources, food pantries, support groups, community activities, you name it! * Taught them techniques on how to manage stress/frustration/depression/anxiety/etc. Medicine and therapy are important tools to getting "better," but so are meditation and mindfulness, sunshine, healthy eating, exercise, good sleep, relaxation, fun, and support networks. * Educated them on healthy and unhealthy relationships.

Conservatives of Reddit, how is your dating life going?

My girlfriend leans far more to the left, but actually likes it that I can think for myself. Sometimes we have discussions and I can always at least prove my point. It is just that she has never thought about it like that before. I would say a lot of moderate left people can actually understand most conservative views, it's just that they never heard of them before (because academia and news is more or less left leaning) If I would date someone new I wouldn't be upfront with my views. But that's my character in general I guess. Usually I don't tell everyone what I think, only if asked.

fjy9y84

Years ago, I went out for drinks with a really cute redhead. I knew her from around town and we were always kind of flirtatious with each other when our paths would cross. So we're having drinks and things are going well...very well. It is becoming obvious that she wants to come home with me, I am very much into that idea and I suggest that we head out. At this point she suggests that before we do that we quickly swing by another bar down the street to say hi to her cousin. I, being in a very agreeable mood, say sure. So we get to the bar down the street and her cousin is there, we chat for a couple of minutes, she seems like a nice lady, but I'm looking for an opportunity to move onto the sexier portion of the evening. It's at this point that her cousins date arrives, he's a tall, well dressed black gentleman. I wish I could say what his personality was like but I never got a chance to find out, because it was at this point that all hell breaks loose. My date, immediately upon meeting her cousins date FLIPS THE FUCK OUT! She immediately goes full Hitler, screaming at the top of her lungs in a crowded bar that she can't believe that her cousin's hanging out with a N-word, that she's going to get AIDS, that their family is going to disown her. The whole nine yards. At this point I'm completely shocked, looking back I can't remember seeing any warning signs. Suddenly I'm in the middle of the most insane situation that I've ever been in up until this point in my young life, my date is screaming horrible racist filth, her cousin is crying and screaming back, her date is fucking FURIOUS, the entire bar is staring at us with disgust. I had no idea what to do, so basically I just stood up and noped right the hell out of there, never looked back, didn't bother to find out how the situation played out, just walked down the street back to the bar I started out in, ordered a double of bourbon, sat in shocked silence and then walked home.

Was recently going through a divorce and some friends recommended I go on OK Cupid to start dating again. I matched with a girl who I met at a local tiki bar we both were fans of, and who I was friends with the staff. I got there early and saved her a seat. She walked in looked great and we started chatting after ordering drinks. 20 minutes later we ordered 1 more to share. I excused myself to go to the restroom, and when I returned she did the same. One of my buddies behind the bar asked me, as if concerned, if everything was OK. I told him yeah things are good. I thought he was screwing with me at first, but he finally told me his worry. Apparently while I was gone he saw her slap herself in the face as hard as she possibly could. Not like a light tap but like a full on Russian slap contest slap to her own face. I still thought he was messing with me until she returned and we resumed conversation....mid sentence in answering a question she posed to me, she slaps herself as hard as she could in front of me. I stop with what was probably my jaw on the ground and asked her if she was ok. She continues like it was normal..."yeah just trying to keep awake". Mind you we are each a drink and a half in. I make a suggestion to close out (I paid) and walk the local downtown area to which she agreed. She was wearing espadrilles (high heeled platform type shoes for the uninitiated) and turned her ankle not once, not twice but about 15 times. On the second one I caught her to break her fall and she promptly shoves me away and says. I DO NOT kiss on the first date! I reassured her that wasnt my intention and I was just trying to be helpful. At this point I'm in this date for Science and emotionally removed. I recommend we sit and chat some more to which she grabs my hands and inspects them thoroughly telling me my hands were OK. She then shoves her hands 2 inches from my face asking...."Have you ever seen nice hands than these?" She then continues on about how she has no friends and lives at home (early 30s) with her affluent parents, and that she relies on her mom to make a lot of her life decisions for her. I'm now thoroughly removed but am still trying to be understanding to her situation. She still seemed a bit tipsy so I brought her to an Italian place nearby. She sat down and proceeded to blow her nose in her white cloth napkin, old man honking style. Like something you seen in cartoon when the hanky starts flapping in the breeze. I'm a bit taken aback but we get through our dinner with much less conversation and several moments of awkwardness. I paid and that was that. As we leave she asks me... "Was it weird that I blew my nose in my napkin like that?" I was delicately honest saying how it's not typical. She responds with "OK. I never know until I ask". We part ways and say our goodbyes. The next morning I get a call from her thanking me for taking her out yesterday but because of my interest in history and because I collect antiques, she didnt feel that she could possibly stand up to my expectations. But she still wanted to be my date to a party I told her about the previous night that was to have a big celebrity turn out. I thanked her for her honesty and told her I didnt think it was a good idea, as I didnt feel comfortable. I haven't seen or spoken to her since.

This is a great question. I think for one the far left is blind to what middle America sees as America and doesn't understand how anathema some of their concepts are to classic middle America. For example, Equity is now part of the Democratic platform which entails a drive to equal outcomes, not just equal opportunity. It's snuck in there and it sounds kind of like "equality". But it isn't. And people see what happened in San Francisco with trying to cancel calculus in the name of equity or making their prize high school a lottery entry in the name of equity. And if you look at the Equity Math Framework every other line is an indictment of White Supremacy Culture. So while you're trying to gain political power you're throwing mud on the country and claiming the whole thing was nothing but a giant exercise in racism. The rage goes so far that San Francisco school board decides to change the names of Washington and Lincoln elementary because those founding fathers weren't anti-racist enough. Or something. The far right on the other hand most of the time just grabs a flag and a lawn chair and joins the barbeque blending in most of the time. It's harder to see the dividing line between "Yay America!" something that crosses over into white nationalism.

For several years my marriage was horrible but everyone thought he was great, so I convinced myself it must be me doing something wrong. I couldn't take anymore, mental health was suffering so I left and literally that night felt like a weight was lifted and my mental health gradually improved. Don't let people convince you to stay in the relationship based on what you're allowing people to see.

I'd appreciate your advice " .. that kind of thing. Or "I need to vent about situation X " and let them respond or not before venting (or ranting, or just talking lol) - it depends on the person too.

We already have a system that addresses this reality. Early on in our country both the government and the really rich did more or less whatever they wanted to whomever they wanted with no real push back. But thanks to various laws and constitutional amendments along with civil rights groups, and constitutional laywer activism we as the citizens have a little more protection from the power these 2 groups have today although through various laws and agencies the government has gained more control overall while turning a blind eye to what mega corporations do so long as the public doesnt get too upset about whatever it is that happened. America wields a lot of power, and different entities will always push for a bigger share of it. On one hand we need the government to keep the country stable and to stop the worse of what capitalism does, on the other hand the government isnt meant to control the citizenry or put roadblocks in the way of how the people of the country operate. So what you see as fear can be seen more accurately as understanding where the power struggle in our country is and how the 2 major ideals deal with said struggle. Having Democrats and Republicans constantly get and lose control over our institutions is a good thing because it balances our country, if one side were to have all the control theyd have to much power.

Finally, denying it and telling me i’m making things up when i tried to tell her how actions affected me because she would neeeever say that....

It’s how they are. According to the moral foundations theory conservatives (and moderates to a lesser extent) have a “diverse” morality where moral values of **in-group loyalty**, respect for authority, and **purity/sanctity** are valued “equally” to moral values of fairness, harm (to others), and liberty. The bolded values are a major problem in regards to the LGBTQ community. The worst part is they genuinely think they’re moral people for doing so.

Homelessness isn't the issue. It's mental health and substance addiction. If you give your average homeless guy a house, in a few months it will be destroyed.

Haven't followed the Georgia issue. My examples refer to past controversies. As someone who has an athletic hobby, I'll probably avoid buying Nike gear, particularly really overtly branded gear, from now on because of the Kaepernick support and the BLM support. I meant to stop buying Gillette products because of that ridiculous anti-men commercial from a couple years ago, but forgot during my most recent shaving accessory purchase. I'll try to remember next time, though. There is also a coffee shop in my neighborhood that put up really aggressive anti-cop posters after the events of last year. I used to be a weekly customer. Haven't stopped by in probably 10 months. Edit: Oh yeah, Coke too. This was the only soda that I drink as an adult, but their woke anti-white nonsense is too much. Hardly a major loss.

Why are liberals so unaware?

https://www.reddit.com/r/askaconservative/comments/lk5hrd/why_are_liberals_so_unaware/

gnjnkf2

I think its a multi-faceted issue. One part of it is definitely a sort of elitism, that they and the media are of the same 'enlightened' class and the proles are too thick to understand. I think that's a barrier to considering any counter arguments for a start. The amount of people who think doing a ten hour a week journalism degree pushes you to the highest echleons of human intellect is staggering. They also seem to see it as a team sport where they will do anything to justify their position. Ultimately however, I think its because their beliefs are... beliefs. People will go to extreme levels of cognitive dissonance to protect beliefs they hold close to them, and I think that left wing people are more... religious about their opinions. I think they believe your politics are part of what makes you you rather than the solution to a problem. You can take the man out of the religion, but not the religion out of the man, as it were.

The answer to this question is just "yes". They don't like Biden because they're party loyalists in their dumb culture war and they have confusing feelings on Russia because Putin is the kind of old, stupid, kleptocrat that they wish was in charge of the US.

Why is the middle and upper middle class generally more conservative?

https://www.reddit.com/r/askaconservative/comments/fb3hba/why_is_the_middle_and_upper_middle_class/

fj2kpeo

They have to work for the money they have, no welfare benefits, more likely to be in a traditional family with a stable marriage, less likely to abuse drugs/alcohol, stock investment/401k. It's not an absolute thing though. Modern Democrats actually ironically attract a more upper crust elitist breed of people, particularly when it comes to government workers and clueless soccer moms with transgender/autistic children. I live close to a pretty high class suburban area, lots of Democrat signs/bumper stickers.

Do you believe there is an extreme right as there is an extreme left?

https://www.reddit.com/r/askaconservative/comments/jobukb/do_you_believe_there_is_an_extreme_right_as_there/

gb8v6si

I would say that an extreme right does exist. BUT I would say that there's very little actual presence or influence of it in mainstream politics as compared to the extreme left. Far left has political representation in the form of AOC, Ilhan Omar and probably a few others that I can't think to name right now, with Bernie Sanders being not extreme left but definitely more left of center than average but seeing decent acceptance. I don't think I can name a single properly extreme right politician, if you define them as far authoritarian right and ethno centric, calling for straight up reversal of freedoms and racial integration in favor of increasing government control. Closest figure I could point to in pop culture would have been Richard Spencer but whether it's a troll or what he has now placed himself in with the far left despite still holding similar racial views. The mainstream just shifts the overton window such that the center is somewhere around center left so if you are a centrist you are center right and thus if actually right then by their definition you are considered extreme right. And then I think there's the particularly religious part of conservatism that puts a bad taste in people's mouths particularly about LGBT stuff. I think what you are seeing is what the data has been showing which is that the left has been both skewing left and spreading out ideologically such that as a proper liberal you come to feel like you have more in common with the right than you do the middle of the left. For the most part the right hasn't seen as much of a shift though there is somewhat of one that is coming about as a right-wing response to the left's swing.

Aside from the fact that a big chunk of psychology is quack science and the therapists reflect that, even the best therapist cannot help you with your problems unless you help yourself. They can facilitate that to a small extent, but the way therapy is promoted and used these days, it's a low effort way to offload one's problems onto another person and expect a miracle cure.
