- sieste 3y agoI know I'm setting the bar low, but compared to other pieces in that genre I found it well written, entertaining and insightful.
- pksebben 3y agoFor sure, but throw me a rope here, it doesn't help the more immediate concern of this bog I'm stuck in.
- BlueTemplar 3y agoYou could try pulling harder on your hair. (Sorry not sorry.)
- falcor84 3y agoOr even better, try pulling on your bootstraps if you have them.

- WJW 3y agoThank you random stranger for introducing me to this wonderful story! Pretty incredible they managed to do this in the 1850s already.
- kirso 3y agoThere is no need for a practical answer, because it has been answered 1000 times. The reason why people are stuck in the bog is pretty much fear. The fear of being rejected, accepted, sharing publicly (aka being judged). Telling people to "unfear" themselves is impossible, because its not the same as learning a skill. It takes years of unbundling your behavior, therapy and doing pretty much the opposite of what you are doing now.
