β€œDon’t overthink it” & β€œworrying won’t solve the problem when you have to wait anyway”.

I always give that advice. However, I, personally, always overthink and keep worrying.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I would agree, but I'm still frantically thinking whether I actually agree and whether I should be expressing that publicly!

Always add tests to your code!

True that haha

In practice, I live by "never write any code that's important enough for anyone to insist on testing it" 😎

Be kind to yourself

"Your life is worth it, don't give up!"

Right as I think about my own suicide plans.

I feel like a hypocrite.

Asking for help us a sign if strength, not weakness.

I know that because i find it extremely hard to ask for help.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 28 minutes ago

Oof that his home.

All I can say is that things can turn it better, it has for me personally.

It's great of you that you inspire others, though, not hypocritical, it's what we all need sometimes. Doesn't matter if you don't see it personally, you are helping another human being get along.

I feel you so fucking much.

"don't worry about it being perfect" and "stop being so self critical"

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

It's not a problem if it takes you 12 tries and you still haven't gotten it, do it a 13th. If I don't do something perfect on the 1st or 2nd try I'll most likely never do it again.

If you just do the thing, people will stop asking you when are you going to do the thing.

Don't eat a entire box of thin mints.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

Do not eat that entire 3KG bag of wine gums to yourself

[–] shapesandstuff 2 points 9 minutes ago

Good luck on the throne

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I'm sorry, what? Elaborate for curiosity!

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

That's easy to obey... but samaos seem to spontaneously evaporate near me.

Try to hit the gym at least 3 times a day. Daily if you can, even if it just means a light "spa" day.

[–] shapesandstuff 2 points 7 minutes ago

Rest days are important! Depending on what you're doing of course but ya need to rest

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 hours ago

Three times a day, or, if you can muster it, once a day!
