This is really true. People with social anxiety think everybody is watching them closely, but that is just not true. I read here that when you try something ( in relation to other people) and it goes wrong, to you it is a big thing. But to other people they hardly notice and even when, they do not care and forget it soon.
Example I would not dance, and am ashamed to dance. Until 33 I never danced, even not with my girlfriend. Afraid and ashamed that people will watch me, say. look that one, terrible. And then I tried and it was if I was invisible. Everybody was busy dancing, giving attention to his or her dance partner.
This thought you can use, and will help you with everything; talking to people, to strangers, eating in a fine restaurant, singing at a birthday, playing dart or pool, swimming or sport, talk. It does not matter what!
One more piece of advice, when you are shy, and need to practice, like contact with somebody from the other gender, go to another town where you are not familiar, when you are afraid to be seen by people who know you. When it goes wrong, you just do not go back there and nobody in your present life will even know.
Just do it !! Good luck !!!
Interesting fact that I read here.
Studies show that improving handwashing at 10 of the world’s leading airports could slow the spread of infectious diseases.
On average, only 20 percent of people in airports have clean hands - hands washed with soap and water, not just rinsed. The other 80 percent are potentially contaminating everything they touch, from chair armrests, check-in kiosks, security checkpoint trays, and restroom doorknobs and faucets.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/comparison
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/equivalence
If you mean false equivalency as in Formal Logic then I would again correct you.
No, not all equivalencies are false, and equivalence is absolutely not a “False comparison”. There are logical and mathematical equivalencies that are very much true.
An equivalence is true if it meets the if and only if criteria meaning a cause that is both necessary and sufficient has been met. An example of this is, “if I get another cat I will have to pay the cat fee” that statement is a true equivalence because it meets the if and only if criteria, the only reason I would pay the cat fee is if I got a cat. The statement is “Drinking every day is a gateway to harder drugs” is a false equivalence, there are lots of ways to get hooked on heroine and not every alcoholic does meth.
There are also false equivalences of magnitude but that is an inductive fallacy, and again, the person you were replying to wasn’t really making an inductive (or deductive) argument. They weren’t saying, the police beat people all the time so it’s okay to do it to kids, which would 100% be a false equivalency of magnitude.
Notice how these example are irrelevant. That’s because the statement you called a false equivalency was not a logical equivalence, it was an informal comparison.
Also, if you’re hearing whooshing noises while reading, I highly recommend talking to your physician. Perhaps addressing that issue will help improve your reading comprehension.
...A time I would talk about dappled light would something.like this
Jane drew back the arrow and waited.The boar's dark fur blended almost perfectly with the dappled light and her only chance was to make a heart shot. She'd have time for just one shot before the boar trampled her: it had to be perfect. She pulled the arrow back the last inch and held her breath.
It works because the pov character would be seeing and thinking about the light, so it builds empathy. And it almost disappears into the flow of words, which is what you should be doing for.
Most importantly, it doesn't get in the way of the verbs. And verbs,in active voice, are what really count:
>The Daily Wire isn't virtue signalling
Yes I know, it's called vice signaling.
Where virtue signalers would say videotape themselves feeding the homeless to later post on YouTube, vice signallers would make anvideo.ranting in their truck about how giving to the homeless creates dependency.
This is all that I can find. I copied and pasted it from https://deepstash.com/idea/47886/losing-your-inner-monologue
Losing your inner monologue
Your inner monologue is where you tell yourself, "I don't want to get up yet," or "This is a tasty burger." Aphasia from Ancient Greek means "without speech." Typically aphasia occurs after a stroke. Reduced blood flow or bleeding causes brain cells to start dying...
This sounds serious to me. I hope that you can get someone to take you seriously about it. Clearly your wording is important because people might not understand what you are saying. Please feel free to update us if you get someone to listen to you.
False balance fallacy
It happens when there are two or more opposing positions on a certain topic, and you assume that the truth must rest somewhere in the middle. False balance can be a result of a false equivalence when two sides are presented as being equal, and the terms are used interchangeably, even though they are not. 1
Mandating dictionary definitions is what is called the fallacy of "appeal to definition".
https://deepstash.com/idea/43973/the-argument-from-dictionary
While a dictionary can substantiate your use of a word as a common usage, it is fallacious to use a dictionary to try and limit the use of a word.
As a PL person, I am not fond of the "clump of cells" argument, but I prefer to debate it than eliminate it by rule.
It’s normal to forget some concepts after not touching your books for a long time. But I am pretty sure that you still remember the basics. And if you’re worried about technical interviews, then start preparing for them all by yourself. I am sure, you still have the notes that you’ve prepared throughout your degree.
As far as your career identity crisis are concerned, you must identify your skillset and that’s the only way of finding the right career path. You can also check this guide, it’ll be helpful.
After reading your post, I am convinced that you must seek professional help. Even if you can’t define your state, try to make the key points of your state on sticky notes. Then, use those points while describing your state to a professional. In the meantime, I can suggest you some helpful platforms like deepstash. However, I recommend you get some professional help.
Human brains can focus on one thing for 20 minutes (max.). So, you can break your task into smaller chunks and 30 minutes to each chunk. After that, take a five minutes break and repeat the procedure. This way, your brain will stay awake and fresh while studying. And you can study more in less time.
As something becomes more impactful, its ethics become more important. The same is the case with AI. There’s a difference in the motives of the person who develops the technology and who uses it. So, I am not favoring Google but before making any comments about this, you should know how Ethics and AI relate.
<strong>Appeal to Definition Fallacy</strong>
When the process becomes fallacious:
Not every use of a definition is necessarily fallacious. If the definition is properly justified and is selected in a properly justified way, it is generally not fallacious. However, it is fallacious when at least one of the following conditions are true:
- There is no valid reason for using the definition.
- The definition was cherry-picked out of a range of possible definitions.
Interesting fact that I read about Jack Ma and his mental toughness.
"Jack Ma (Founder Of China Yellowpages And Alibaba): His mental toughness and resilience got him through many failed school and university exams. After graduating, he went on to dozens of rejections from jobs.
Before becoming rich, he was kidnapped on a business trip to Los Angeles, threatened with a gun, and held captive in Las Vegas before managing to escape. His mental toughness, resilience, extreme determination and passion to achieve his goals eventually paid off and he went on to build a massive internet empire."
1% better every day!
The effects of small habits compound over time.
They seem to make little difference on any given day and yet the impact they deliver over the months and years can be enormous. A slight change in your daily habits can guide your life to a very different destination.
Making a choice that is 1% better or 1% worse seems insignificant in the moment, but over a lifetime these choices determine the difference between who you are and who you could be.
Read this idea here and it helped me to remember all the great insights from the book!
The 190,000 year gap you’re mentioning is the gap of hunting and gathering until humans finally settled down. You have to understand that this came as a natural process, not one where people suddenly woke up and realized ‘hey, let’s just grow crops and tame pigs and stop running after wild boars and berries’. It came gradually over a long period of time (potentially generations), with humans potentially not even being aware of going through such a radical change in ‘society’ (or rather through the creation of). What I mean by gradually is that we first for example found some vegetables which were good and we stuck close, then the seeds we were dropping led to more of them growing there etc. until we ended up farming over years and years of environmental change that made humans stick around in certain places. This process was slow probably because it was dependent on population growth. Few people means that everyone can hunt freely for anything. More people means food becomes more scarce and some species may go extinct. Even more people means that we may have to start looking at vegetable food and other stuff in the first place. And population growth was dependent on other factors which determined change in social structure such as the development of communication (language) - another slow process. Again, it was a natural change, not necessarily a conscious one of settling down, and these are some of the factors. I truly recommend Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari to get a glimpse of how we came to be, including some answers to your question.

Amazing work! Great structure & really useful content, too, thanks for sharing it!
I also liked Atomic Habits, I found some really good ideas from the book neatly summarized here - https://deepstash.com/article/35971/atomic-habits
In fact, you could try adding yours as well to this platform, there are plenty of books like this with cool ideas :)
Well, your brain may appreciate your phone if you use it 'properly' haha, you could try reading some insightful ideas on whatever topic motivates you... productivity, philosophy, life, whatever really, you never know what new stuff that you learn will prove to be useful later.
I'm personally using Deepstash (https://deepstash.com), it's a free app/website great for just that - giving meaning to your breaks/dead time :)
When I'm at my office, I usually just get up and take a quick 3-5 minute walk. I may or may not consciously think about anything during this time. I just find that a quick shot of physical activity each hour helps me stay focused later.
If I'm stuck somewhere else, I'll use my phone, but only to fire up my Read/Review list and read through an article I was saving for later. I'm really liking Deepstash too, these days, for quicker summarized bites of info.
