Re: Chanting Om (Aum)

Interesting. It doesn't say what frequency people chant the OM at, but for adults even a couple of seconds of humming at around 130Hz (the C below middle C) causes your sinuses to resonate and...

Re: Which charities do you donate to/ believe in?

Personally I wouldn't give to most of the large medical charities, with the possible exception of Macmillan. Local hospice charities are often quite large (8 figures annual turnover) and they are OK...

Re: What didn't you know until recently?

One way to check this could be to use a handy website https://cronometer.com which lets you keep a food diary and analyses the nutrients in the food. I found the free subscription gave me all that I...

Re: On a personal level, does climate change/global warming concern you?

No. Concern for the environment is an excellent thing, we could do with more of it, but people's goodwill towards the environment is being thorougly abused; a lot of the policies driven by the...

Re: Interview anxiety is keeping me unemployed

Maybe start with an interview for a job you don't really want. I say this because whenever I look for a job I always mess up the first interview. After that I get into the swing of it. Maybe you can...

Re: Creatine

Mainly useful for people who want to gain muscle. It's pretty well-researched for that. https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12970-021-00412-w

Re: Is there a compelling 'I took X for 30 days and it.... changed my life'

That one should do a lot even after a few days, if you take the right amount and for example you're weight training. Creatine makes you much stronger; I had an exercise routine that involved press...

Re: Anyone here studied/studying later on in life? Or planning to?

Well into my career, I did a distance learning masters course in a technical subject as a way to change career. I very much regret doing it, I went back to my old career, and while every case is...

Re: Social Skills Training Groups

It's not really possible to diagnose these things on an online forum, but what you describe is a common thing for SA people to say about themselves.

Re: Social Skills Training Groups

It comes across like you might be in a bit of a rut? Possibly time for a move and a job change, in what is still, as far as I can tell, quite a tight job market? Personally when I start looking for a...

Re: So long and thanks for all the fish...

You've also been complaining about the feedback itself.

The people you're addressing can't win. When they don't give feedback, you complain. When they do give you feedback, you complain about the...

Re: So long and thanks for all the fish...

It could be that the reason they didn't give you feedback is that they saw the style of your posts and they didn't want to risk the kind of angry responses which you did in fact give when you finally...

Re: So long and thanks for all the fish...

Of course that's why people use them, and we know that. But anybody who uses them (not just you) is likely to alienate people; it's the written equivalent of shouting. Shouting is a way of...

Re: How is everyone feeling?

The causality is the other way around. Men like that only get away with bad behaviour because women find them so rewarding to be with in other ways. If it was the badness they liked, then you could...

Re: How is everyone feeling?

What sort of events would have made the past few years "eventful" for you? Can you arrange for those events to happen over the next few years (or months, or days)? For a long time I found it helpful...

Re: How is everyone feeling?

That doesn't sound ideal. It would be great if we had social skills to handle any situation gracefully, but we don't.

Hmm, the inner dalek talking: inferior! inferior! I don't think people can be...

Re: How is everyone feeling?

You mentioned there were a couple of women in their 40s who did return your greetings? Obviously I wasn't there but I'm wondering if this could be a glass half empty / glass half full situation, in...
