Why do so many websites of major companies suck? — I just went on [sephora.fr](http://sephora.fr) for the first time in years (I don't really shop there anymore, or I go in person). The website not only looks like it was designed 15 years ago and has …

Interviewing for a UX job when you have a UX job is annoying — I know, I know. I should be grateful to have a job, I should be grateful to land interviews. But the amount they're asking is insane. I'm sorry, I cannot dedicate my time to a 50 sometimes 60 hours w…

Another posted today has over 2800 views already after a few hours. — I know 4500+ views is nothing crazy. It's a lot of people with short attention spans just scrolling and I'm not making any real estate sales from a video with 4500 views. That being said, I'm wonde…

"Your silence will eat them up." I hope that's true. I know her crazy family talked her into leaving. She came over, we went to dinner, said she wanted to break up. Go to my place and hook up twice …

But what am I supposed to do if I'm the one going crazy from all this silence?

I had no idea that everyone didn’t dream like this all the time. I have had lucid dreams for as long as I can remember, and I can interact with them. I have even died in dreams to be reborn in the sam…

Is it possible for multiple “travelers” to converge in one place? Not sure if it was AP, but if it was then it was accidental. May have been a crazy dream, but I’m looking for an Elijah from Detroit. …

I am new to Reddit as of today, so forgive my lack of knowledge if this is the wrong place to ask this! Also I’m new in the AP world, but I have an open mind! I’m going to start going through some of…

I’ve had this pulling sensation happen to me before. It feels really scary tbh. So scary that you feel yourself gripping your bed so “it doesn’t take you.” “It” being this invisible force trying to li…

Respectfully, this is what happens when you only focus on material aspects and totally disregard the "spiritual woo woo." I'm not saying everyone ever needs to be enlightened, but there's a reason why…

Same. I hung in there , at first thinking no matter what she does. Im more wise , I see her flaws, i will help her change. Me the man she “use” to say i was. She=“never give up on me”. Me-“never”. 4 w…

I know this post is 6 months old, but I still want to say this. I truly feel that Robert Bruce's book, called "Energy Work", (funny how the title is the name of this sub?) should be required reading f…

Wow I’m so sorry you’re going through this! It’s nuts how common our stories are. I always felt like I was being dragged around by Eric and he could never just tell me “it’ll never work out” Just brea…

I broke up but she didn't want to get back. It's my fault but she wasn't a Saint either. Immaturity on both ends. I have paid for my mistakes in heartache and tears. I hope you get the person who ch…

I believe its driving my ex crazy that I've had no contact since I left 7 months ago. Saw him on the highway, he kept changing lanes and stayed behind me. I got off of the next exit.

Thank you so much for this! Actually, also 12 years and my husband had an affair 6 months ago and a new one now that I discovered right after a very sad (for me) Thanksgiving. So I get what you’re say…

I’ve been lucid dreaming for a long time, unfortunately a lot in night terrors not a fun time. Also has anyone ever had strange encounters when they realize they’re dreaming and then decide to ask abo…

That’s nice to know that it works for you also in third person point of view. :) I was trying to say with it, that it’s easier to make sure to not merely think of it, but get the feeling of it being t…

I do agree, but I’m my experience my thoughts change naturally. It’s like I’m just happy, and I don’t even know the reason - happens due to reprogramming. I kind of forget about it. It’s not constantl…

This has happened on two occasions now, where I would get premonitions of locations and I was in the setting. I remember in this quick premonition I saw red and green. Months later I realise the locat…

Do you feel like its much harder to start healing while in a relationship as opposed to being out of it? Diving into a serious relationship very fast, I realized I have a lot of issues with avoidance…

This is largely because people would rather avoid the discomfort of being honest about how someone's behavior impacts them, and let somebody else continue to struggle forever, than let themselves be u…

Thanks! Crazy how we are conditioned to think this anxiety and nervousness as genuine attraction and love. I've calmed down since then and getting to know this person with clear mind. Yes, the wrong…

Thank you so much for this. I am really hurting. Yes, he messaged me On Sunday evening my time saying “Hey baby!! I’m back, I’m so sorry for not being able to communicate.. I know it’s been a little…

Yes, absolutely. I believe that we all have the capability to devolve into the worst versions of ourselves when under extreme stress, which the SA definitely qualified for me, and on my more understa…

As a man who has been on both sides of the coin… bear with me cause this is a long read but it has relevance I promise.  I’ve been the anxious wreck begging and pleading. Saying stuff like “you don’t…

Pretty sure I was an FA (schizophrenic dad, sadistic mom who wanted to abort me—I took care of the family’s emotional needs, disregarded my own). I was still confused/hurting 2+ years post no contact…

Agree. I definitely didn’t feel meh about my hubby—just no crazy sparks where I couldn’t think rationally

You can help him by helping him help himself. (Now that's a crazy sentence) He has to take responsibility for his behavior. That includes finding a way to stop taking shit out on you. Now is the t…

I don't know your situation, but it reminded me of my own, so I'll share in case it might be relevant. (Also: I'm sorry you had to go through that-- that sounds horrible. There's no excuse for that ki…

I wondered about that myself. I don’t have experience with it, but after the breakup started researching, and concluded that he’s very avoidant, very afraid of any type of confrontation, something bet…

Yeah it's crazy. Also in places where gun licence is possible, I mean, I feel safer knowing how to shoot. I'm glad I learnt that. And yeah it takes many years to at least alleviate the stress. I rep…

My company is ready to pay reasonable price for the software we use and that provides value over FOSS ones. Unfortunately many companies go for crazy unrealistic pricing models and then complain that …

Not cloud but Kafka and Kafka connect on kubernetes took me way longer than it should. On cloud, it is networking. Tried building a VPN tunnel between AWS and GCP and the amount of stuff you need to k…

While terraform/opentofu isn't a crazy difficult skill to learn, I'd still prefer tools that are more generalised than just MS, mainly because: * it's easier to find people that have that skill * it'…

Mmmm... I think it sounds more like a DA falling in love in general. What you describe as being APs "neediness" of a romantic relationship I see as the first stages of a relationship for a DA aka DAs …

You're absolutely right to question. This is such the norm in the dating scene, it's crazy! From my experience, what I can say is that you're definitely dealing with a DA type here. Idk if you got int…

I've been in these scenarios a good few times in a good few ways. And I have some hostile opinions on it as well as some good ones. So scenarios. Indian CTO or VP is hired, and almost immediately, …

Helm. Kube manifests are already simple enough, I don't understand how abstracting them even further is a good idea. There are a ton of community chats and most of them that I came across were not gre…

Everyone is different, what applies to you wouldn’t for other people. I know anxiously attached + FAs with anxious lean, and they go crazy if I’m just a little quiet one day. Anxious people aren’t al…

Yes, you're correct. Not all would necessarily find that unusual, if that is their dynamic. But I am specifically referring to otherwise normal communication, and a sudden drop off. Specifically in ro…

That too. Do you know what non-violent Rosenberg communication is? I found it SO helpful in detecting insecure attachment (AND for my own communication, to fight off the crazymakers & their mindgame…

The first two points are big red flags for me now too! The third isn't a big deal, because I like to take things slow, but I'm also not trying to get on the relationship escalator. 4 & 5 are not gre…

Well, if you're into them, that's the first sign. It'll be tricky to differentiate between DA and secure for you because they'll both feel like they're moving at a reasonable pace at first, but a DA i…

Thanks for your answer. I am somwhat between anxious preoccupied and Fearful Avoidant. For example I know I feel insecure when some friends I cherish wont answer at my text for long time, I will feel …

That’s the worse part of it they act like what you had never existed, and that’s fucks you up you’re the crazy one for being human.

im the same way. its crazy how our bodies just know
