Also Hanlon razor it says stupidity but it has the same mindset. Since we all do simple mistakes and they can be easily forgiven or forgotten.

You're a human animal, your body is participating from your slight future and making decisions you're unaware of from a second+ in your past. It's a dance of information where the only portion that matters is the consciousness that you believe yourself to be... kind of like being your own parent. Self talk has been recommended "I'm not concerned by - - -" "I'm aware of - - -, so - - -" etc

From someone who has had a bunch of surgeries, a lot of people have a fear of hospitals and surgeries. I spent 7 months in the hospital after an industrial accident and spinal cord injury.
Maybe a therapist can get you over the fears if they are all consuming. It’s pretty critical that you do because we all have to be proactive with our healthcare. You don’t want medical molehills turning into mountains because you didn’t go for routine checkups, screenings or when you are feeling sick.
I tell everyone that if you are undergoing anesthesia for a procedure, make sure you tell the anesthesiologist that you are anxious, or stressed out, nauseous, whatever. His/her job is to make you as comfortable as possible and in pre op. They have the most amazing medications.lol

That's a nice advice. Thank you for your reply.

LPT: This is something you should be discussing with your therapist, not with people on the internet.

Wrong sub but everyone has fears. If you continue looking at yourself in that way then your feelings towards yourself won't change. You are keeping yourself stuck in that mindset.

It does depend on how often you’ve been taken advantage of but, then, it’s also a part of the experience of life. When you get to a certain age, you understand that almost everything is about the money. It’s up to you to filter what is worth it and what is not. It didn’t used to be that way. Older generations didn’t need contracts. Their word was good enough. Sadly, that is not the case anymore.

Treating people charitably does not mean buying their stuff. It means assuming they are not out to get you or horrible human beings.

I expect the best and plan for the worst. I’m nice to people but I also have come to know when to say “no” and not feel guilty about it. I never buy a product or service if they have to call me.

This is one of the worst LPTs I’ve seen.

Gosh, lucky the emails from all those Nigerian princes representatives were still in my trash folder! And the ones from the lawyers of those Congo presidents widows. I'm going to help them all.

Yeah, if I read that, I am not tipping.

Reply to comment by blackhawks-fan in LPT: Tip on the subtotal by boomeroni123
Because it might not be as much as you would normally tip. Tipping on the subtotal makes sure you're not tipping anymore than you normally would. I also deduct the % they add from my tip. If it's 8% I'd tip 12%

Why would I tip if it has already been added to the bill?
