Depends what you’re comparing to. One of the ways I deal with stuff I’m finding unpleasant is to compare the experience to a worse situation. My work can be stressful, but at least I don’t work 9to5, 48 weeks a year like so many people do. I’m renovating a house and it’s exhausting and such a long commitment, but at least I’m in good health. Many of my friends have health problems that would make heavy labour and climbing on roofs impossible, so when I’m tired and achy at the end of a day I try and see it as a sign of my good health and strength.

Obviously, if I compared myself to a younger and fitter person, whose knees wouldn’t hurt and didn’t need to wear wrist braces, that could make me feel bad or envious and that would be dumb. Only make comparisons that highlight how lucky you are to be you.

Doing ‘nothing much’ while stoned can be good fun, but is miserable sober. Youre probably not going to feel happy without alcohol / thc if you’re just remove them and don’t change your lifestyle. Think about activities that weed doesn’t go that well with and try and get into those. That’s why ‘sober’ people are often the folks going for early morning runs or playing in sports clubs, or their taking on lots of projects and creating /renovating / etc. What interests you is personal, but reading, gardening, outdoor walks, climbing, community activitivism, learning a language, etc are all good choice.

Ahh. Thanks, I hate it. Sounds horrendous and exactly like EA .

Very much not a sports guy. What’s the ultimate team? And what’s the problem with it?

Having read through your other post that person was being weird, got heavily downvoted and it’s perfectly reasonable that you got offended. It’s not even clear what his point was, because your post wasn’t about money. So, they were presumably jumping to a lot of conclusions and then responding to an imagined different post.

It’s hugely valuable. I love my partner deeply, but I often fall into a trap of imagining that life was simpler an dmore fun when I didn’t have to care about another person’s needs and could just be the goblin inside. But when I actually get the chance, the novelty wears off pretty quick and I’m so happy when they’re back.

Eat at arbitrary times when I’m hungry, and eat lots of spicy food. Smoke weed and play computer games. Feel a bit lonely.

Sleeping with a cuddly toy. My parter converted me and they’re great. Tbh, they actually make a lot of sense as a middleaged person. Now that I’m old and less flexible, I end up with a sore back or shoulder if I don’t have proper support when sleeping. And I’d much rather have a big lion buddy than some weird orthopedic pillow or Dutch wife.
