I think this was done? Long time ago, maybe in an Russian orphanage or something? If my memory serves me well, those kids all died, despite even having food etc…

Edit: might be confusing that with lack of social interaction. But either way, here’s some reading for you

I always wanted to be a biologist. I love nature, I find it beautiful and fascinating. I’m passionate about environmental protection, have been since I was a child. Studied, got my Master’s.

Finding work is so hard. What jobs you can get, are unstable, pay is ridiculously bad, and your values are constantly being ridiculed. The state of the environment is so depressing, and the future isn’t looking any brighter.

I don’t work in that field anymore (couldn’t afford to anymore…). The whole thing breaks my heart. I wish I didn’t care as much…

When I’m falling asleep or whatnot, I place my hand between my thighs or on my crotch (under all clothes). It’s not a sexual thing. It just feels comforting, for some reason…

Huh, this one doesn’t ring any bells for me. Is there some reference in particular I should recognize it from?

My unwillingness to knowingly hurt people. I think I would be happier doing my own thing, but would hurt or disappoint do many people by leaving them (my boyfriend, family, colleagues, friends…). So I’m just wasting my own life instead…

There’s a study that shows that even jellyfish seem to sleep.

A lot of shows I liked are mentioned here already, so I’m going to add Brooklyn 99. Recently finished it and it’s a surprisingly rich show, really enjoyed it.

Whole different vibe, but Don’t Look Up. As an environmental scientist, that one really nailed the existential dread many of my colleagues and I feel every day…

Yeah I don’t think he is projecting in that sense, but I do believe he has really bad abandonment issues, that is making him “see” things that aren’t the case, maybe to have a reason to push me away before I hurt him, too… I’m not sure what to do, he’s so convinced that I’ve betrayed him already, and even if the offense is not real, the pain clearly is, and I’m not sure there is anything I can do to reassure him. It’s so painful to watch (beyond the hurtful accusations…)…

I appreciate you looking out for me, friend!

My bf is convinced I have/had feelings for some other guys. Keeps pressing the issue and “Why can’t you just admit it?”. I can’t admit something that isn’t true…
