Your old grandmother says, “Maybe you shouldn't go to school. You look a little pale.”
Run when you hear that.
A father’s stern slaps are better.

@KelDoesStonks@Devon_Eriksen_ We are in almost the exact same scenario. I have no idea how exactly anyone else is making it on half my income either. But a lot of the time, the mom works. Or they rent. We do save too, which I assume they aren't. I think the full catastrophe will be revealed over time.
@Ananangke@Quasargoon_@Ponyonynop@FreckledLiberty There's the rub. Women entering the workforce massively cut the value of labor and we are adapted to that. Hard to put that genie back in the bottle.
@asparagoid@MikhailaFuller@jordanbpeterson There is a self - it's the conduit that makes it possible for you to (egosistically) participate in this conversation. Setting aside that psychotic disbelief in the self is the stupidest nonsense eastern spirituality has ever produced, look in a mirror.
@sotonian8895@SutcliffeDavid People fear finding a good therapist and this is revealed by how easily they give up. The after-the-fact rationalization of this fear is that there are few good ones, but it is only that - a rationalization that allows one to stay in avoidance and the illusion of victimhood.
