Yeah, it's a lot shorter than most pics take me. I think the longest I ever worked on a pic was probably this one, with 17 hours work or possibly this one, which could be close to the same time...

Yes, I do the backgrounds of all of my pictures.

More often than not, this means there is no background. But I'm trying to get better with that I made sure to make an effort to do a background, with both of those pictures

Really, the Ben Folds pic is just artistic laziness in comparison with some of that other stuff, but I did want to try a more "pastel" coloring style, and it's fun to draw something cute every now and then.

The Tarale demands a Caffeine / Coffee one. The Tarale commands thee.

The Tarale needs coffee or she'll nap on her desk again at work, and that's bad...

Yep, I have a deviantART account. chibitaryn.deviantart.com. It annoys me though for a few reasons... like that the Harry Potter fanpeople won't stop favoriting a little HP chibi (that I didn't put all that much thought into), and everybody overlooks the pieces I spent hours and hours on...

It looks cool.

But it will lag. Which is not good.

It doesn't lag my machine, but I'm on a very fast machine (my work machine has to be; I run multiple VMware sessions here), so I'm lucky. I suspect my Mac would have a fit, and my home PC wouldn't be pleased either.

So, while it's a nice idea, you're probably best to remove it, or save the idea for something like your personal website.

It's not normal to have these guilt trips. Depending on how bad they are, it might just be a phase you're going through, or it could be some kind of Anxiety thing.

I have Anxiety issues, and I usually just try to rationalise the issue, be it uncontrollable (and irrational) guilt or whatever and then go and distract myself with something else.

Try doing some relaxing stuff too, it might just be that you're a touch stressed and stuff

Aurxix, I recommend you perhaps browse the internet for some tutorials and stuff if you want to learn how to do these kinds of things.

Also, could you please be a little more original in your posting? You seem to have posted a lot in Modern Art, but you haven't really said much if you get my meaning...

It's not about "activity" Aurxix, it's about content.

Put more thought into your posts. I could care less if you posted a million times and each one of those posts actually had something to say. As things are now, your posts are "spammy" and that's just not cool.

Now, moving on with the original thread, I'm gonna add the choccie one to my sig too, Kawa

Posted on 11-27-05 10:41 PM, in Guilt Trips Link
Yeah, I kinda find that too, but honestly it's the best advice I have outside of suggesting you speak to a professional. If it's getting really bad, that might be your only option.

If you speak to your GP or anything, see what they say. Personally, I'd avoid being put on drugs, but that's your call not mine. They work for some people, so it's up to you.

Personally, I'd be asking your GP about Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy. Your "guilt trips" are generally caused by what's called "cognitive distortions" which are negative ways of thinking. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy is supposed to re-train your brain away from these negative ways of thinking. (And towards more rational positive thinking patterns YAY)

Might be worth looking into It's what I'd try... hell, it's what I might try if I keep on going with my own anxieties

Assuming you can tell me what a GP is .

And yeah, I'm... not a big fan of pills/drugs/mind altering medicine.

I think I will look into Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy though, it sounds interesting to say the least...


GP -- General Practitioner. AKA "Family Doctor" or whatever.

And yeah, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy sounds interesting to me too. I have managed to identify a few of those "cognitive distortion" things in my thinking.... just for fun, see if you can think of any you have... they might be what's causing the guilt trips!

1. All-or-nothing thinking - thinking of things in absolute terms, like "always", "every" or "never". Few aspects of human behavior are so absolute. (See false dilemma).

2. Overgeneralization - taking isolated cases and using them to make wide, usually self-deprecating generalizations. (See hasty generalization).

3. Mental filter - Focusing exclusively on certain, usually negative or upsetting, aspects of something while ignoring the rest, like a tiny imperfection in a piece of clothing. (See misleading vividness).

4. Disqualifying the positive - continually "shooting down" positive experiences for arbitrary, ad hoc reasons. (See special pleading).

5. Jumping to conclusions - assuming something negative where there is actually no evidence to support it. Two specific subtypes are also identified:
* Mind reading - assuming the intentions of others
* Fortune telling - guessing that things will turn out badly. (See slippery slope).

6. Magnification and Minimization - exaggerating negatives and understating positives. Often the positive characteristics of other people are exaggerated and negatives understated. There is one subtype of magnification:
* Catastrophizing - thinking that a situation is unbearable or impossible when it is really just uncomfortable.

7. Emotional reasoning - making decisions and arguments based on how you feel rather than objective reality. (See appeal to consequences).

8. Making should statements - concentrating on what you think "should" or ought to be rather than the actual situation you are faced with. (See wishful thinking).

9. Labelling - related to overgeneralization, explaining by naming. Rather than describing the specific behavior, you assign a label to someone or yourself that puts them in absolute and unalterable terms.

10. Personalization (or attribution) - Assuming you or others directly caused things when that may not have been the case. (See illusion of control).


Course, buggered if I know how to FIX any of these... that's what the therapist is for

Posted on 11-28-05 04:15 AM, in How open are you with others? Link
I'm not particularly open with others. In fact, I'm pretty much in a near-constant state of anxiety when it comes to dealing with other people.

Sometimes I manage to get it to go away, and then I might talk to people. Sometimes I feel guilty afterwards, like I've said something wrong or stupid.

If I drink, I'm a lot more open. If I'm with close friends, I'm a lot more open. Online... I guess I'm more open.

If I'm being open with others, I'm usually too open with them for my own good. I manage to get myself hurt a lot because of it. I should just shut my yap and learn that not everybody is to be trusted.

Yeah, it's a nice board. It has it's moments where I get frustrated with it (or rather the activity on it) and times when I enjoy it. I guess like any board really.

If there's drama on any board, I duck and cover now

Gaia??!

That explains some of your posting habits then. Sorry to tell you this, but you don't earn Gold by posting a lot here.

I wouldn't consider Gaia to be a good forum. Gaia is full of people who post a lot but have nothing interesting to say. If anybody says something interesting it's drowned out in a sea of "****HEARTMAGICFLUFFYBUMP****" and "OMG KIKI KITTY"

I much prefer this place to Gaia.
