  • You had a crap therapist too if i may say so. I’m sorry that happened and happy that you are in a better place now!

    I worked in costumer service for many years and was yelled at a lot, just like you. You know what my therapist said?

    He said (paraphrased): “I can’t understand how these people dare treat another human being like that. Your anger about what happened is completely justified. Lets work on what we can do to improve your situation.”

    We talked a lot about how to distance yourself from the situation while it happens, to not be afraid to tell people to stop yelling if that doesn’t work, rationalizing fears related to job loss, healthy ways to express aggression to vent without hurting yourself. That’s what a therapist should do, not tell you to grow a thicker hide (that is what will kill you in the long run if you are so detached from your feelings that you get completely overwhelmed if that fails even once).

    I agree with @sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works that in the long run UBI will be needed to help with that - the way it goes currently means sooner or later there will be more people without jobs than with jobs, and if we don’t want the guillotines to come up (we are well on the way to that, since it becomes more and more mainstream to openly talk about stuff like that), it will be necessary to ensure a worthwhile life for the people who are not needed in classic jobs to create value, so they can create whatever they want without fear.



  • You can also do fun stuff like make a button autofire when doublepressing and holding it, or configure a incomplete push of the trigger to aim down gunsights and fire when completing the push, while directly doing a full push skips the aiming and hip-fires. Or activate the gyro while holding the left trigger and touching the right analog stick (which has a touch sensor!) for looking down the sights and gyro-aiming. Or completely change all mappings after pressing a button (for example when the button changes into a menu which needs a different config).

    This article gives a good quick overview over whats possible without overdoing it.
