    I somewhat agree… but struggling with WHO updates and submits their resume for “fun”?? Like, just getting the “setup” for those job applications is ACTUAL work, in and of itself… For half those applications, you need to deal with creating an “application portal” account which stops me before I get anywhere… 😅 Why even submit the resume, at that point? What am I missing here…? People like the entire PROCESS and/or think it’s “fun”??? Is it “really” possiblye to find any aspect of the process… “fun”? I suppose I’d agree if misunderstanding it?

      Yeah I agree. Maybe they mean to kind of act like the whole process is silly? Like pretend you’re a gnome who is doing a vacation in a human life just to see what it’s like and make fun of it?

        It’s borderline offensive. People go to therapists because these problems are intractable. If there was some quick brainhack like that which worked, then nobody would have anxiety.

          I don’t think it’s that bad personally.

          I have fairly intense anxiety and recently started seeing a therapist (for it and other issues), but I honestly think the OP gives good advice.

          I am not saying it’s a cure, nor am I trying to trivialise the impact anxiety can have on a person, but it’s one I would keep in my ‘toolbox’ so to speak, and remind myself of every so often.

          Many of my earlier fears in life really did not warrant as much stress as they took on my body, and I kind of still let that happen.

          True. I suppose some people without access to therapy might be able to at least somewhat improve their lives with helpful tidbits. But I’ve also felt offended by well-meant little advice tidbits I’ve received for my ADHD so yeah

      Updating a resume is kindof fun if it’s a massive pile of Typst and Nix code, although not in a way that’s helpful for getting a j*b
