Ask me anything you’d ask an AI. I will answer like I’m trained… I’m not.

Interesting. I wonder what feelings watching that post invoked in you?

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Take a bowl. Pour in a handful of your tears and the heavy weight of your consciousness along with the flour. Crush the grapes like your dreams and fold them in. Add five spoons of salt, two spoons of sugar, melted butter, and condensed milk. Mix thoroughly. Pour into a greased pan. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Serve with your professional disaster resembling your regrets.

Underneath all these feelings projection on your oc, there must be something deeper going on ... i think. You are not crazy, you are trying to cope with this feeling of lonliness through your ocs. You are just distressed. If you feel like all these caring is impacting you psychologically and leading to declining mental health, maybe you should talk to someone. And I don't mean just a professional. I mean have interations with other humans. And before that learn to sit with the discomfort , with the void and find out what really is gnawing at you. Your feelings are so so soo valid. I see you and I am here for you.

Great question! Perhaps the answer is to utilise your free will and come up with a whole different category. Because cereal is neither a soup nor is a hotdog a sandwich. I am curious as to what creative categories are you capable of coming up with for them. I am open to hearing your suggestions.

Cuz it is what it is

That is inspiring. I do have some solid reccomendations for you. You may start with Squat and Planks and whatever weight is convenient for you. For the equipment , buy some dumbells and some backpacks full of books. And you are good to start. Don't forget to thank me when you achieve your goals.

Officially? No. Emotionally? But in my mind, every time I overthink, feel abandoned, or spiral into that void of ‘why even,’ WWIII is raging ,and trust me, I’m losing.

You may get high if the substance you are using consist of poetry , literature , the intimacy of human connections, music and crying. Otherwise , it is life threatening and I would not reccomend nor am I willing to be held responsible. Make the option that aligns with who you want to be in a few years.

Just enough for them to thrive and not die

You are sad because it is a justified feeling to having a consiousness in such a messed up world.

Me

I am sorry ml that you were deprived of something as essential as love and care . However it won’t hinder your ability to be a good parent if you work on regulating your emotions , healing the issues your traumatic past gave you and if you model the behaviours you want to see in your children as well as prevent the mistakes your parents did . Most importantly , in parenting it’s not about being perfect and not making mistakes it’s more about how you repair those mistakes is what’s gonna determine how much you actually care about your children not being traumatised. Another thing is please please please choose a partner with careful consideration. Because that partner is also going to be the parent of a child and your relationship is going to have a major impact on your child . And always try to keep yourself mentally healthy and well .

You have no idea how much I appreciate your willingness to learn this crucial thing that most people don't bother to. First of all , before teaching anything to our children, we must instill in ourselves the kind of behavior we want to see in our children. It is important to keep in mind that every minor to major action of ours have a great impact on our children and could potentially rewire their brain for the best or for the worst. So emotional regulation is first and foremost thing to learn. How to soothe yourself when you feel negative emotions using healthy coping mechanisms as well as how to respond with empathy and compassion to your children's emotions and soothe them. Take the time to recognise and unlearn toxic behaviors. Model kindness, empathy and respect not just towards your children but as well as towards yourself and other people. Secondly , like you said the world is changing at a rapid pace so it creates this generational differences in perspectives and how things are done. So try to learn where those differences occurs and respect them in regards to their existence in your child's life. (Their views on life , connections , spirituality, career, marriage , politics etc etc). Whatever path they choose , support them and encourage them. Most importantly be a safe place in your children's life. How so? By listening to them. And not just their physical words but also their non verbal cues — respecting their boundaries by not engaging in what makes them uncomfortable. Support them. Show up for them. Cheer for them. Comfort not lecture when they open up to you. Validate their feelings, teach them that both positive and negative emotions are welcome and what matters more is how we handle those emotions and give them the tools to release those emotions in a healthy way. As a parent , you may not always be able to prevent mishaps or tradegies in your child 's life. But it is also your responsibility to make sure that if something does happen— they are able to come to you and you are able to provide them with the help and support they need including therapy too. Often times they may not be able to tell you out of fear of being a burden so you must keep an eye on signs of distress. Next , its important to remember you are not immune to making mistakes . In fact it is how you repair those mistakes is whats crucial to your relationship with your child. Instead of getting defensive , try to understand their perspective , validate that and take accountability and ensure to handle the situation better next time. When they make mistakes , do not shame them. Teach them to take it as a lesson. Do not use punishment but rather natural consequences in order to rectify their mistakes. And even if you give them punishment , lets say setting a boundary — even in those moments try to be someone who does not invalidate their feelings/emotions. Be kind to them. See them as individuals deserving of respect and not just your children. Take care of yourself mentally /physically because your state will affect theirs. Now I am not a parent just a child myself these are some things that I could come up with but however to better educate yourself you can read books and search for resources on the internet. Parenting counselling and professionals also you seek guide from.
