No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I kinda have separation anxiety...
I feel like its good family bonding time too...
The separation anxiety doesn't go away if you don't separate sometimes.
aaaaahhhhh
My parents fucked up my brain...
From birth to like 12 years old... I wasn't allowed to go outside by myself...
Just home all the time... or in school...
Never played with a peer outside of school...
Every time I wanna go outside... its with mom...
so the inertia just remained...
I think I first was allowed to walk home by myself in like 6th grade... I was 13
after that, I only went to the library like a few times...
But besides those rare moments, never been alone outside (besides home or school or walking to and from school) by myself...
Feels like climbing mt everest
Like I never even felt brave enough to like... ask someone to just hang out after school hours...
I know it's hard, I also have lots of experience getting over fears. I was myself extremely socially afraid and afraid of all kinds of things in a less severe manner.
I have an Singaporean girlfriend right now who is similar, who I'm helping through it as well.
Believe me, I know the struggle. It's so unbelievably hard to do things you're afraid of and the main problem is that it all happens inside your head. All the effort you're putting in is basically invisible to an outsider. They might push you because they don't see how much you're already doing, which just makes it worse because you start feeling like you should be doing more, and then on top of feeling afraid you also feel like shit because you do "so little", which is not little at all.
You can do it, I believe in you :D if you want any more words, I'm here, I don't wanna ramble on and on lol
It's not good family bonding time, sitting and not talking to each other.
It's better than nothing, but any activity that explicitly directs you all to interact with each other is better.
Eh...
Find seats next to each other and like just... being in the presense of each other...
And there's something to talk about afterwards... that's an issue... mom really wants to "talk to me" but there's no topics to talk about... movies can spark a conversation afterwards...
I mean what other activity do you recommend?
That aren't too stressful for someone like me with depression?
Hey there's no one way to be you. Take a challenge that you're actually able to DO, if you make it too big it won't happen or it will be painful.
So from what everyone says, pick the thing that you're ok doing. And don't forget to have fun. It sounds silly saying this part, but if you're having depression the fun part is the most important thing here. If you have separation anxiety and your parents may not enjoy the movie, that's just a tool to get you to the movies.
I like cooperative tabletop games.
Check out your local game store. See what they recomend for cooperative games with simple rules for beginners. Pick up one or two that seem interesting to you.
For the whole seperation thing, try going to the game store on your own. Come up with some options, then talk to mom about what seems interesting. Then go again on your own and buy whatever you agreed to try.
That way just getting the games could serve both helping with separation and bonding at the same time.
