| Topic | Would you be able to physically defend yourself against da average guy? |
| Torrific 07/11/19 11:25:25 PM #34 | Evening_Dragon posted... I mean, no one should take offense. "Don't kick unless you know how to kick" is, you know, borderline self-evident. I play soccer and I shoot pretty well. Does that count? |

Most people simply don't know how to throw a good punch. None taken. Just wanted a professional input. |

Most people simply don't know how to throw a good punch. Serious question. If I throw a punch at your face while aiming a kick at your balls at the same time, would you be able to defend that? I mean, based on your reflexes and speed? |

| Torrific 07/11/19 2:18:10 AM #21 | @TheGreatGeno326 I mean when even treatment doesn't work. The power of the mind is amazing and very underrated. I had recurring night terrors until I stupidly told myself not to give a fuck no matter how terrifying it got. I never had it since. Athletes were trained to engage in doublethink when they fall into a stressful situation. They were trained to delude themselves into thinking the competition is not important at all. |

| Torrific 07/11/19 2:03:43 AM #17 | mattnd2007 posted... And things only got better with some talk therapy and meds. You can't just happy activity and positive think it away. mattnd2007 posted... Honestly if you haven't dealt with true clinical depression yourself you don't know what you are talking about. I thought I understood it. Then I had a really rough couple years that brought my latent depression out. Strong family history. Lot of alcoholism, depression, and suicide. I'm not disputing all of this. But surely even deluding yourself is better than just giving up. I'm may not actually depressed before. But there were times when I got a glimpse of it. it helped when I just said fuck it to the "big picture stuff" like career, marriage, friendships, etc, and just focus on one or two activities that are easy and have tangible results (working out & reading mainly). Regardless, I don't think affirming their belief that nothing can be done outside of medication is helpful |

There's only two things you can do when confronting depression. I think "will not improve" is too fatalistic. Just because a person sees no way out doesn't mean there isn't a way out. There are degrees to being depressed. For many, while they can't muster the energy to party with friends, but surely they can still jog, read a book, get busy with work/studies etc. Whatever the case, wallowing in self-pity is surely the worst option. One thing that can really help me overcome my sadness is to stop focusing on myself. The moments when I felt most moody was when I had too much time to focus on my negative feelings and thoughts. It's so much easier to focus on the positive when I'm busy working towards a goal and seeing slow but incrementally positive results. First steps are the hardest but you just need to push yourself to get a momentum going. A lot of negative thoughts are self-perpetuating. You think negative thoughts, it affects how you see other people, which affects how you react to them, makes you more sensitive to criticism which leads to more harmful thoughts. A response I usually got was, "You have never been depressed. You don't know how crippling it is." They are right, I don't. But when it happens to me, I hope I'm defiant enough to do enough about it so that it doesn't cripple me. EDIT: All of the above in conjunction with medication and other kinds of professional help, obviously. |

| Torrific 07/09/19 2:10:42 PM #33 | *Activate Quora mode* I think the first step is to stop hoping for any kind of dismantling of societal norms and exceptions, any major reforms in healthcare, etc, and just play the cards you are dealt, while remembering the cards you currently have can always be swapped out for better cards via personal improvements. Does society really have very high expectations of men? The problem with human beings is that we fall under this trap that is pluralistic ignorance. For example, we have A,B,C,D and E (all names). Every single one of them will not judge the rest for not being successful by society's standards, but yet at the same time, all of them believe the rest will judge them this way. Obviously I'm not saying judgmental people do not exist. Just that we overestimate the degree and pervasiveness of societal judgement. And of course our own insecurities just exacerbate every negative thought in our heads. In my opinion, practical wisdom is a necessary condition for happiness. And practical wisdom can be achieved by acquiring knowledge (reading, learning from people, learning from experiences) --- about how individuals, communities, and organizations function. Of course, there is a huge overlap between that and stuff about personal improvement (nutrition, common pitfalls of human thinking, social psychology, dating, etc). |

| Topic | Womes Soccer pay vs Men's soocer |
| Torrific 07/09/19 12:10:58 AM #27 | Solar_Crimson posted... sktgamer_13dude posted...USWNT generates more revenue than the USMNT and actually does this thing called winning. The USMNT hadn't been playing that well at all but none of the teams they played had a remote chance of beating them. Also, female goalkeepers are smaller in size and the goal posts are the same size as the men's, but yet there are barely more 2-3 goals scored in a match (ignoring the Thailand match) despite so many penalties being given out. The lack of quality of soccer being played coupled with the relative lack of goals make women's soccer less entertaining to watch. Of course there are other factors -- lower intensity, the lack of household names, women's leagues aren't popular, etc. |
