What does the fear of being judged by others hold you back from doing that you would otherwise do?

To be fair I still do these things but only when I’m alone.

Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow.

Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it’s a warship I’m trying to bomb.

Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don’t because they’re considered femine or gay.

Approach any woman. Toxic feminism and selective acceptance of “patriarchal” elements and roles by women makes me keep distance. As a cis het man, I am scared of false accusations, especially since I am an INTJ introvert.

Women should learn to take the first step and approach men for dates, and become humble as a gender group, if they want to have the power. Not doing so only means that they want exclusively the benefits of “patriarchal gender roles” without dealing with negatives.

As soon as you leave high school, if not before, you should be your own person. Blaming others for things you want to do isn’t healthy and shouldn’t be used as an excuse.

triclops6 ,

You’re right. And yet people still do it. Hence this post.

bleepbloopbleep ,

True. But not possible for everyone. Hence the millions of therapists out there being busy .

PowerCrazy ,

Yea agreed. Therapy while improving material conditions of society would go a long way.

This comment reminds me of telling a depressed individual to “just smile more”.

PowerCrazy ,

That would absolutely be the opposite of what I’m saying. Don’t do things for others, do things for yourself.

Thanks, I’m cured!

Depending on what OP wants to wear and where they live it could be dangerous.

Tell this to those that were bullied for being themselves. Not just in high school, but as adults. You’ll find plenty in the comment section.

Personally, I’d love to give streaming a go, the Twitch kind. I like playing games and I want to share my time with others, but social anxieties say otherwise

Matcha_Mecha ,

As a pretty much nobody streamer man on twitch, not even affiliate yet (I’m so close yet so far), I also struggle with social anxiety but find that streaming has been pretty easy for me. It’s different than actually having to interact with people face to face, so it feels more like talking on a thread than irl interaction.

Of course that’s just my experience and my anxieties may be on a much lower level than yours, but I recommend giving it a go if you think you’d have fun with it!

charles ,

I used to stream a bit back in the justin.tv days and I would usually only get a handful of viewers but even to this day, it was some of the most unique gaming experiences I had. I used to try and play games that no one was streaming/talking about and a couple of times I actually ended up with the devs watching the stream and those were such great memories.

One time, I played this flash game where you had timed “lives” and the dev was watching (without me knowing) when I ran out of lives. I mentioned I’d be going to play something else while I waited for my lives to come back and he sent me a DM telling me that he would go and remove the timer so I could keep playing if I wanted.

That being said, I haven’t streamed since then and I’m honestly not even sure how I’d start again. I don’t think I’d ever enjoy having a large audience but I definitely enjoyed playing with a few people helping out on what to do next.

Bone gnawing for me. And I genuinely mean that, I find gnawing on a piece of bone insanely calming for me, but it makes literally everyone I talk to insanely uncomfortable. I love gnawing on bbq ribs, chicken wing bones, pork chop bones, T bones. I love bone marrow and trying to dig for it. Family says it’s bad etiquette, though my partner doesn’t mind.

saigot ,

I always suck chicken wings dry if I’m at home. It’s delicious.

Probably make videos of interesting things I do. Sometimes I do something and think this is the kind of stuff I watch on YouTube.

Farting in public. My friends got the view that it’s only a natural thing to do, so when we’re together we just do it without judging each other. The majority of people don’t think like it, i guess most find it digusting or take it as a reason to mock you. I don’t understand how we ended up like that. Guess humanity still has to grow up a little more :D

I used to find it funny and do it around friends/family, but more recently the smell has been far more disgusting to me and I have to put on an N95 or leave the room. It’s unfortunate that I have a lost a source of such jollity and mirth.

It’s actually a very easy way to get other people sick, unfortunately.

OnopordumAcanthium ,
@OnopordumAcanthium@lemmy.ml avatar

What do you mean by sick, like infections?

MORTARS ,
@MORTARS@lemmy.ml avatar

I know viruses spread very well. Covid for instance

People get viruses like RSV + spread so much and they don’t even know

OnopordumAcanthium ,
@OnopordumAcanthium@lemmy.ml avatar

But not by farts… That’s a bit far fetched imo

MORTARS ,
@MORTARS@lemmy.ml avatar

Do you need a link?

Why is that more far fetched than sneezes? It’s wet airborne biological matter you expel from your body.

Why do you think people’s natural reaction to farts is digust? Is that something people should be breathing in? Especially in an enclosed environment with such bad ventilation you have to inhale ass exhalations?

MORTARS ,
@MORTARS@lemmy.ml avatar

Yea they do spread by farts. I’m saying I’m not as sure about bacteria.

Lmaydev ,

He asked a colleague to break wind directly onto two Petri dishes from a distance of 5 centimeters, first fully clothed, then with his trousers down. Then he observed what happened. Overnight, the second Petri dish sprouted visible lumps of two types of bacteria that are usually found only in the gut and on the skin. But the flatus which had passed through clothing caused no bacteria to sprout, which suggests that clothing acts as a filter.

Well I’ll be damned!

Just keep your pants on I guess.

MORTARS ,
@MORTARS@lemmy.ml avatar

Viruses can go thru pants, for sure.

Lmaydev ,

In a lengthy and seemingly humorous yet serious article on its WeChat account, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of Tongzhou district in Beijing clarified that farts, normally, do not constitute another transmission route of COVID-19, unless someone takes a good and rather close sniff of gas from a pantless patient.

Seems not.

MORTARS ,
@MORTARS@lemmy.ml avatar

You know what? I was arguing in bad faith. But now I know you want to fart on people.

all-knight-party ,

This was the most hilarious discussion I've ever witnessed on the internet, especially because you guys included links and quoted the article better than another "more serious" arguments I've seen.

MORTARS ,
@MORTARS@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m flattered thank you. I’ve enjoyed my time on lemmy immensely so far.

all-knight-party ,
@all-knight-party@kbin.cafe avatar

This is a good one, but I think it's not all shame. Concealing farts in public is a game of skill. You must consider how to position your body so that no sound is made. How quiet is the area you're in? Are there others around who could conceal the true farter? Are you able to discreetly move to another location so that by the time the smell arrives you're no longer a suspect?

You also take into account your last eaten foods and recent farts and how they may result in large smell or sometimes no smell. It's a big game of strategy and execution to be a covert farter.

Wear a mask wherever I go. Not so much because for health reasons, but because I like to hide my face. I feel more comfortable that way, but at the same time people stare at you like you’re some kind of terrorist.
I prefer to wear scarves or other items that hide my face below my eyes.

not_amm ,

I’d be more comfortable with physical contact. I’m NB, but most people still perceive me and treat me as a man (even though I’ve said many times that I’m not) and that comes with the stigma of keeping distance.

I also love to play with LEGOs, it’s kind of therapeutical I guess. It’s just me, talking about random things. It’s the same with videogames, I mostly play RPGs, but it isn’t as “weird”.

BTW, while I’m non-binary, I’m still involved in man’s problems because I live them for my appearence. I also help some male friends with their problems with masculininty and feminism, so they don’t end up being redpilled alpha sigma males lol

UnknownQuantity ,

Don’t worry about what people think about you. They’re too worried about what you think about them.

xxmikelxx ,

not much these days. ever since I realised people will judge you even if you don’t do anything. e.g. I used to be shy because i was worried about what they’d think of me when i spoke. this caused them to think I’m shy. so I made a decision that I’d rather have people judge me for who I am rather than for someone I’m not.

Devi ,

There's loads of little daft hobbies I either don't do at all or hide. I went magnet fishing with a friend once, we found some cool jewellery that I still have and it was fun, so I went home and bought my own kit, I've never been though cause I don't want to be that person doing it alone, or to actually ask anyone to come. Just lives in a box.

wewbull ,

Anything criminal.

Really don’t need to be judged for that stuff.

Cruxifux ,

I mean, generally I don’t let that stop me from doing what I want to do.

But I drink a lot, so that’s probably why I don’t care as much.
