You say you are very powerful, yet your kryptonite is your own actions.
Edit: *secrecy
I just break very easily. Not even in terms of quitting its not a conscious choice to quit but inside my entire mindset changes very quick under pressure
E.g. when I am sparring in the gym and I get pressured, my mind panics very quick. It's not a pain thing but my mind goes completely red and I have 0 composure and start brawling, and all my skills melt away. I don't have the mental strength to stay put
When it comes to more typical life, say in work and I do a poor job, my frustration mounts extremely weak and I self sabotage. Lets say if I'm writing something up and I hit a roadblock, I might try stay put for a few moments but if another roadblocks compounds that I seethe internally and I might just delete the whole document and not commit to the task.
I remember I had a music exam as a kid, maybe ten or eleven and about 20 minutes before entering the hall, I was frustrated with where I was at. Instead of quitting outright or following through half heartedly I broke a piece of my instrument and when I went in of course I played like shit with this broken piece. I didn't realise my weakness as a kid would carry through until now
How do I get rid of this mindset? My mold just melts in the face of adversity and I don't know how to change this because I don't have any conscious trigger or discussion in my head. It's not a place of reason it's just an instantaneous emotional shift in me. I'd like very much to wipe this away.
I have not stopped crying for over a few hours. I felt tunnel vision and I could not breathe. These happen weekly. I have not been to a psychologist since I was 15. I lied my way through treatment when I started at 14. I was diagnosed with depression and eating disorder. There’s more to it. My parents did not have insurance for me and I did not want to run their bill up. I don’t think I ever got the proper care necessary, which is why I am where I am today at 22. I do not do well with talking about my emotions, I feel guilty for having them. I tend to be a little obsessive when I really enjoy something. I have always felt good at hurting myself. Recently, I have traded these “hobbies” of mine for fitness recently and today I couldn’t perform my best and felt inadequate. I have endometriosis and i am currently in pain. I know this is reasonable me. I don’t know if this voice in my head that bullies is a part of me or if it’s my conscious or not real at all. In public, my disassociation has alarmed people around d me as well as employers. I was let go of my recent job. It makes me feel inadequate. I remember developing it around the time the sexual abuse started. Anything is better than the reality of the weak person I have let myself become. I was a great student, teachers raced and called me gifted to my parents. It went downhill from this point of my life. I have noticed patterns in my behavior as I get older and In situations like this. I don’t want to self diagnose but i have a form of ptsd that is affecting my life as a adult. I had my first seizure in 8th grade and woke up violent in a straitjacket. My eating disorder led to me being hospitalized for a year. When I was younger and Days in and out of therapy, I remember answering questions yes to where I get the least diagnoses to get cheaper subscriptions. This is the most honest I have been with myself and I need to heal, I have held this secret for too long and It’s hindered me in so many ways to where I can’t progress because I feel I feel unworthy. I know why I am so critical in myself and the reason I am the way I am in so many ways.ive gone a lifetime lying to myself and I don’t want to be afraid anymore. I’ve looked for self destruction in my eating disorder, substances/drugs, self harm. When I was younger around the age of 10/9 I had a cousin from my moms side who lived with us. For a few months, he was around 19/20. My room at the time was the one I am in right now, his was next door to me.

TL;DR Weaknesses listed in monster infoboxes were misleading and often wrong, and are being replaced with accurate, objective parameters that provide more accurate information.
There's been a few posts and comments asking about where the weaknesses parameter on monster infoboxes went, and due to poor communication on our part, failed to make a PSA on it as soon as the change was made. We apologise for not doing this sooner.
Weaknesses was not something that was clearly defined on the wiki; what was a "weakness", exactly? Just because a monster was listed on the wiki as weak to stab didn't mean that using a hasta was the best option for that monster; perhaps a blowpipe would shred that monster much more quickly than any stab weapon.
The weaknesses within the monster infobox was wrong for about 25% of monsters, and misleading for another 25%. This is because a lot of the information on the wiki with regards to monster and combat were based on assumptions from 5-10 years ago.
Thanks to conversations with jmods and work of a few key community players, we now have a good grasp of how the combat system works. At the moment, we have a big project in the background to update the Monster Infoboxes to provide accurate and up-to-date information.
The objective information that will be included will be Monster Attributes, which are special mechanics unique to monsters that provide combat advantages and disadvantages, as well as Defence rolls, which properly describe the accuracy of each combat style.
This will be complemented with the release of a DPS Calculator to truly figure out what is the best against each monster.
If you have any ideas or feedback on how to implement this, please send them to /u/gauchoob, who is working on this project.

I know many people simply take ‘Doomed’ out of the pool of weaknesses, which feels pretty unsatisfying.
On the other hand having a weakness that almost certainly kills you with very little in the way of mitigation is also unsatisfying.
As a house rule, I was thinking about upping the damage and horror each subsequent “iteration” does. So it begins 1 and 1, accursed fate is then 2 and 2, and then for each next level increase both by one. Still has a chance of hitting you hard for 4 and 4 by the end and you’d certainly need to find a way to soak that up.
I am currently running Leo through Dunwich (maybe the worst campaign to get ‘doomed’ in). I got lucky by not pulling it in scenario one. And then I managed to avoid ‘accursed fate’ in Essex as well by abusing the arcane barrier by running through it repeatedly to discard it.
Anyone have any house rules that make it more fun? I like having an insanely bad weakness floating around the pool that forces you play a different campaign every so often. The “oh fuck” moment of flipping it over in game is cool. I just wish there were a way to stand a chance against it, even if it is small!
Here we go, friends. This FU did in fact happen today. I am currently curled up on my bathroom floor, spooning my toilet as if it were my highschool sweetheart about to leave for war, because of a moment of idiocy that occurred about 5 hours ago.
For some necessary backstory, I am a recent college graduate with a degree in nursing. I had a little too much fun in college, so it took me 5 and a half years to graduate. Being that it took me almost 2 years longer than it should have to obtain my degree, I am currently drowning in student debt. Also, I recently discovered that due to a clerical error, the dental insurance I thought I had under my parent's health insurance was cancelled last year. So when my dentist told me a few months back that my wisdom teeth were growing in at delightfully awkward angles and would need to be removed, I scoffed a pathetic little scoff and decided to hold off until next year, when I could get dental insurance through my work.
Flash forward to 3 days ago. My right wisdom tooth begins to hurt. Like, REALLY hurt. Like, the worst hurt that I've ever felt in my 25 years of life. My mouth begins to swell. It swells so much that I begin to have trouble opening my jaw. My jaw becomes so tight that I can barely fit a spoon in to my mouth. I am resolved to essentially sipping soup and broth all day, at which point I call my dentist. She says that it sounds like an infection that resulted in lock jaw. I cave in and schedule a wisdom tooth extraction, and am prescribed 10 days worth of antibiotics, as well as some medication for the pain.
As any freshman nursing student can confirm, a common side effect of both antibiotics and pain relievers is nausea/vomiting. To avoid this, it's recommended that you take these medicines with food. I am so desperate for relief when I go to get my medicines that I completely overlook this information that I had engraved into my eager student brain 5 years before. Y'all see where this is going?
I pick up my medicines and enthusiastically take them all at once, on an essentially empty stomach. What resulted was a violent vomiting episode that hasn't been seen since the Jello Shot Nightmare of Freshman Year. I hope you never EVER have to experience the pain of vomiting while simultaneously having lock jaw. It was indescribable. The icing on the cake, though, was having to call my super-nurse manager and explain that I would not make it in to work today as I was experiencing a completely avoidable side
... keep reading on reddit ➡For example, the fact that Hannah's parents stopped giving her money only was an issue in the first episode. After that, she had jobs, but mostly low wage jobs, that she quit after a few weeks which left me wondering, how could she afford her life, when she was that negligent? Her appartment was pretty spacious for NYC standards and in reality would cost around 2000 bucks a month if not more.
Same with Adam's appartment. He mentions in the first episiode that he gets 800 bucks a month by his grandmother and i am like: "Dude! no way can you afford that place with only 800 bucks a month!"
it's erratic. in real life, those characters would be living on the streets and i suspect that it is because Lena Dunham comes from a very wealthy background and has no idea about living expenses of middle class people.
Making a big deal about it, apologizing for not interrupting a funny bit from the guest like a blue haired SJW, and having Taylor and Woody speak for Chiz takes the prize for 2019's biggest troll feeding. It will of course not help but rather make it worse. I mean jesus it's not CNN, it's PKA where most of the humour is based on being offensive. Let Dick say whatever he wants to say.
Can't help but feel it's directed at Star Wars fans.
Edit: so obviously without context, this quote seems very wrong. Of course other people's opinions matter at many times. The point of the quote in-game was that the main character should not let himself get distracted by a cutting comment from someone else. You can't let the opinions of others about yourself consume you.
First of all, there is nothing wrong with crying, I also cry sometimes, and it is understandable that every person would cry during hard times.
But I don't care if this gets downvoted to hell, but if every little thing can make you cry, then yes, you are kinda weak person and can't handle everyday life.
Also, if you often cry in front of other people, don't be surprised if they consider you as weak. It is literally hard-wired in our brains to interpret people that cry a lot over little things as weak. It means you are overwhelmed by emotions and can't solve the tasks that is in front of you
