my personal experience with this is that I was talking medication that made me nauseaus. Did I learn to not smoke when nauseaus? No, but I got a bucket now
but for chosen name I have to disagree. I, a cishet man, have a chosen name that my friends call me. it goes beyond a nickname, if I get called my birthname by friends I get weirded out and feel on edge. However, family and coworkers call me by my birth name and thats perfectly fine for me
tbh I think its perfectly reasonable. If a neighbouring country suddenly is part of an opposing force that has sanctioned and denounced, why wouldnt you put some troops in a defensive position?
if he didnt and nato uses finland as a staging ground for an attack everyone would call him a dumbass who sucks at strategie (I mean.. he does suck at strategy, but still)
and no Im not a russia bot, putin can go suck my balls
what can help though is increasing your sens of self-efficacy. the belief that you can do/change something.
and it can be anything, really. read a page in a book if you atruggle with that. make something with your hands. beat that stupid boss in elden ring. doesnt matter, as long as you can finish it.
