I hate my best friend
Over time, I’ve grown to dislike her more and more. I thought it’d go away, since for a while, these waves of distaste would come in waves for an hour or two and then if I saw her, they’d go away. Now, my hatred of her remains when I am near her, being texted by her, or even just thinking of or being reminded of her. It isn’t just annoyance, but full on anger and sometimes disgust over every little thing.
I‘m not entirely sure why it started happening except for the fact that we had started getting closer and she was more attached than I was and I lost the desire for connection. I wasn’t in the place to invest in any type of relationship or friendship, especially one where I can’t return anything. But instead of falling back into being acquainted, I have just started to despise her. Part of it might be that she has a few mental health issues, and I have bad correlations with those because of difficult times with family members growing up, but my other friends and I myself have my own problems. When she was most comfortable with me, she had started to give me details about her deeper psychosis and I was not the right person to hear that. Moreover, she is actively getting help, but i

I have a hard time figuring out if a piece of art is AI-generated or not.
I love seeing fanart and OC art and art in general online. The problem is, I have a difficult time figuring out if a piece is generated by AI or not. I think it's usually because I give too much benefit of the doubt. I don't like the idea of condemning a piece just because it *feels* like an AI spat it out. Unfortunately, usually that feeling is right. Obviously, one can point to bad anatomy or weird artifacts, but the problem is that these generators have gotten better and better to the point that blatant mistakes like that are becoming less and less common. I try to look at any particular shading/rendering techniques and see if that has the all-too-familiar touch of AI, but I dunno man. It's genuinely hard. I suppose this rant somewhat spills over to AI-generated videos and photos but AI-generated art is what I wanted to focus on.
what actually helps depression?
im sixteen and ive honestly tried everything and nothing seems to do anything to help it, the whole of last year i was severely depressed and i begged and begged for professional help but i cant afford it and doctors tell me im not sick enough yet.
i just want it to be out of my system now, its been almost seven years. im so beyond tired of it. i just want a week where its not there and i can breathe. i think i have a decent life besides being poor and in a fucked up house hold. im confident and i have a friend, one friend. i cant seem to find any other friends yet but collage is soon so thats helpful.
it just never seems to leave, i cant have a week where it isnt there. anytime i feel good and am happy something happens to ruin it. i was having the absolute best month of my life. i was so unbelievably happy constantly. i was so excited to be awake and then i get hit with my mother being a drug addict and hiding it from me for the last five years.
Could you give me some advice on what I should do?
I'm the oldest sister in a family of four siblings, and last year, while I was working (which only lasted a month and a half), I felt something telling me I should contribute financially to my family. Even though both my parents are alive, only my stepfather works. After I finished my job, I wondered if I should really be worried, since I live with my boyfriend and my in-laws support me most of the time. I was working and studying to be a primary school teacher, but I had difficulties with my studies because a professor wouldn't pass me, so I dropped out. I was also struggling with my generalized anxiety disorder, and this situation with my family causes me a lot of anxiety. Even though they don't help me, I feel like they're going to criticize me more than them. What could I do?
I don’t talk about this in real life
I usually tell everyone I’m okay.
It’s easier than explaining that I’m not.
I’m tired of being the “strong one”.
Tired of holding everything in.
Tired of pretending things don’t hurt.
I just needed somewhere to say this without having to explain myself.

I bought porn even though I have a girlfriend then I had a bad dream and cried
I feel absolutely disgusted of myself. It was night and I saw some only fans creator post on Instagram and I decided to buy it. That's $20 that I will never get back and after I finished a sudden wave of regret hit me.
I feel like an absolute piece of shit if my girlfriend did this to me l would feel like shit, I hate myself for doing this
Then, when I went to sleep, I had a dream about me and my girlfriend and we were on a date and then she just suddenly collapsed and stopped breathing and I was crying so hard in the dream and when I woke up, I was even crying irl
English language buddy needed 🥺
I’m looking for a buddy to practice English with and improve together.
A little about me: I enjoy reading novels, listening to different kinds of music, binge-watching shows like Breaking Bad and Stranger Things, exploring tech/digital marketing, and talking about random life stuff like travel or productivity tips.
It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out or already advanced. The goal is to practice regularly, boost fluency, and learn from each other.
⚡ **One thing:** I’d really prefer someone consistent. A lot of people quit after a couple of days, but I want a partner who’s serious about daily or frequent practice so we can both actually improve.
Why telling someone your goals can either help or completely backfire depending on how you do it
There's conflicting research on whether sharing goals helps or hurts and I think I finally understand why both sides have valid points.
The studies that show sharing goals hurts come from a phenomenon called "social reality" where telling people about your intentions gives you a premature sense of accomplishment. You say "I'm going to write a novel" and the positive reactions make your brain feel like you already did something meaningful, reducing motivation to actually do it.
But other studies show that accountability massively increases follow through. People with scheduled check-ins complete goals at significantly higher rates than people working alone.
The difference I think is between announcing intentions versus reporting actions. Saying "I'm going to get fit" is an intention, it gets you social credit for something you haven't done. Saying "I worked out today, here's what I did" is a report, it only gets you credit for things you've already completed.
The first type lets you borrow satisfaction from the future. The second type only rewards you for the past. Completely different psychological effect.
So if you're going to involve others in your goals, probably better to share
Kids gotta stop this body slamming shit
Every time I see a fight video come across my feed on social media, why is these 14 year olds’ first impulse to try and full blown body slam someone on concrete? Dafuq is wrong with these kids? You’re legit going to paralyse someone, if not kill them.
I’ve been in fights back when I was a teen and you just never saw this. It was punches and scraps, sure you’d push people to the floor but it wasn’t this WWE pile driver shit. You have no fucking clue how dangerous it is or how fragile a human being’s skull/brain/spine can be
