Yeah, this weekend is the Midsouth Comic and Fantasy Convention and I've really wanted to go and today is the last day so I'm just going to force myself to go. I'm just waiting for my gym to open so I can get in a quick round of cardio first (high intensity work outs seem to help), I wanted to go for a run around the…

I've just realised how my post looks like I was ordering you to do stuff! It's just a technique that I've always found helpful for getting me out of negative patterns. I've been a bundle of nerves for the last week or two for a few reasons, and I'm so tempted to stay at home and sleep whenever I get the chance.…

What I found useful (many, many years ago!), was to do something I wanted to do; so I got a reward from the actual doing; going to a movie I wanted to see, or in your case maybe a game, rather than, say, watching at home on tv, and I'd get positive reinforcement from the therapist as well. The key is making the…

In NYC, there's a shyness and social anxiety meetup group, and they have a lot of members and are very active. There might be similar ones in other places - it's worth investigating on meetup.com. Meetup.com literally changed my life starting about seven years ago when I literally did not know one person outside of…

If you're used to going to the dog park, it might be worth it to try that again. I moved to a new city recently and have a bit of social anxiety and even though I normally hate dog parks, I've been going a lot because people LOVE to talk at those. Maybe go with a strategy in mind...plan on picking one mixed-breed dog…

I don't have social anxiety, but I do have generalized anxiety. A tool I like to use is to recognize my anxiety and then ask, realistically speaking, what the worst case scenario REALLY is.

Saute onions and mushrooms with some sherry and a little thyme. Mix a little corn starch with cold water (1:4 ratio) and stir it in until the gravy thickens. I dare any of your guests to say this isn't as good as meat-based gravy.

Hi, guys. So... I don't really know where to post this, and I didn't want to be obnoxious - but a few days ago, I was talking to Adultosaur about Taylor Swift (as one does), and she shared that she wouldn't be able to afford a ticket to Taylor's tour, and that made me really sad... So I started a goFundMe for her. …

I HATE THE WORD PANTIES ALSO

I fucking hate the word "panties" so much. There's an awesome UCB sketch where all the dudes refuse to believe that women wear "underwear" and Amy Poehler is screaming at them about how we don't say "panties." I'd post it but I think IT gets mad when you Google "amy poehler panties" in the office.

> But, as a woman, I don't think that I can keep giving them my money.

LOL the leers just made it. like i just started wheeze laughing at my desk

Well these seem like the descriptions for 'extras' or minor roles. They're usually short, blunt, and almost nondescript. That's for both females AND males. That certainly doesn't mean those are the only roles for either gender to play, just the bit parts or background work and this page places them out of context.

Well hey now, this is unfair. These are clearly student films and microbudget indies. Let's head on over to the major TV/Film listings and see the diverse and challenging roles available to women.

I wanted to speak

This is so important. I used to work in industries where I wore my own clothes to work, & dressing "incorrectly" would draw negative attention and prevent a woman from being promoted (by incorrectly, I don't mean in violation of the dress code- I mean, you're just not in the latest version of upper middle class…

I like this guy! Just to add to the points he was making- this also has obvious financial effects as well. Women are expected to wear different and reasonably on trend clothing, shoes and makeup. Men can get by with about three suits, a couple pairs of shoes, a dozen shirts and ties for years!

A 14 year old having an underdeveloped brain is not "pseudo-scientific" fact. It is a fact PERIOD. There's a reason why we have consent laws in the first place: to protect children. The adult in this situation, who's brain IS fully developed and knows very well about the difference between right and wrong should have…
