Was anyone else "homeschooled" by their parent/parents? — It's only recently occurred to me how incredibly neglected I was as a kid when it came to education. Especially as the eldest child. Handing a handful of questionable and not at all up to date "textbo…

changing my college aspirations (psychiatry to psychology) — TLDR; i want to switch from psychiatry to msc psychology since psychology aligns with my interests and time more. is it a valid switch? how do i talk to my dad? this is very long, apologies but hey,…

Fell asleep in 4 minutes to a hypnosis track my own AI wrote, it's an app — Ok, so a few months ago I got curious about hypnosis. Not the stage-show stuff. The boring clinical kind people use for sleep, anxiety, focus, whatever. I saw a hypnotherapist once and it was actuall…

I'm really sorry you are going through this. Once you are able to get to a safe place - Is there an advisor, instructor, or someone else at your university you would feel comfortable speaking to abo…

I also had a very isolated childhood where I was not allowed out of the house except for school, discouraged from communicating with friends (classmates) outside of school, and wasn’t allowed to watch…

I used to go to DRs inside my dreams whenever I just wanted to do some stuff like arranging furniture and live a simple life, but I also did some weird segues in my dreams whenever I encountered other…

I like this question because it's one of the biggest misconceptions in astrology and it stops people from actually understanding their chart. "Difficult" placements aren't sentences. They're descript…

I generally try and boil things down to the most primal reason for things. It could be they're doing it to keep you from realizing how abusive they are, or because they hate to see you relax or be hap…

Great post! It's an important point and you gave a good explanation which I agree with fully. For me the concept that we always assent to what appears true to us is difficult to grasp. So here's an a…

I have yet to meet a doctor without an ego or accept anything that isn't in their ancient textbooks. trust me, I have seen a good number over my life. I did find one story worth sharing, my gf had a f…

This is even seen in US History textbooks. A few editions often mentioned the career of Rudolph The Red Nose Valentino. Only one textbook version mentioned Kintaro's (Sessue) name, but not mentioning …

its so insidious too. over a decade ago in texas, slaves were reframed as immigrant workers [https://www.texastribune.org/2015/10/05/controversial-social-studies-textbooks-under-fire/](https://www…

Same here. I’m thinking of buying english & maths textbooks. Also trying to teach myself maths & English and also how to actively engage with reading again. Growing up a lot of teachers complimented m…

I linked it because OP needs to see what the future holds. Idgaf if I’m downvoted. I’ve seen it firsthand, and the future for kids with that level of indoctrination is bleak. I guarantee not a single…

I used Abeka for my biology and history textbooks. Sadly I know it well. They misrepresented a bunch of things including topics like abortion and euthanasia. I do remember my dad being anti psychology…

Try to recognize how you think and the words you use. I'm sharing lots of useful questions to explore that aren't rhetorical, though I'm not asking you directly for a response. You're welcome to consi…

this is such a hard situation and i really feel for both of you. been in something similar few years back when i was dating someone who had really bad anxiety and depression episodes while i was deali…

Some men think it’s masculine to talk this way. Put women down. Sadly, this is conditioning. A lot of Indian men are brought up being exposed to men disrespecting women, treating women as inferior t…

Just reading this makes me angry on your behalf. APs like this are simply too stupid to live in today’s world. They are miserable people who suffer from many undiagnosed mental illnesses, sabotaging y…

My dad (white) bitched at me sooo hard for this even though he knew my mom (Asian) asserted we had no money. We did have the money btw. So yeah idk, my dad expected me to whip out $300 for summer tra…

I wasn’t allowed a desk for homework because I would make it messy. The proof? All my textbooks and notebooks on my bedroom floor!

I fully get that. The internet is a free for all of misinformation and click bait. I’m old enough that when I learned astrology from my grandma at 9 I had to hand draw charts!!! But I also learned fro…

You can go the high school up until your 21 years old, which I know doesn't sound like a great option but it's there. If I were in your situation, I'd stick to living at home for now and get a fullt…
