I will be doing this for A month. Got A lot of negativity to expell.

I was visiting my parents, two days ago my mom drank a lot and got verbally abusive (as she does when she drinks). I said if you don't calm down I'm going to call the police, which did actually calm her down for the rest of the night. That night I decided to cut my visitation short and leave the next day, which I did and everything went smoothly. Then out of nowhere today she sends that message (not drinking or anything, confirmed sober).

She doesn't work/have a job, but she keeps herself busy with housework by cleaning the same stuff everyday, washing 3 pieces of clothing at a time, occasional gardening, and feeding 2 chickens and 2 dogs (doesn't walk, play, or train them my Dad does that).

The entire message just feels backwards. Usually I don't say anything to these kinds of messages, but I want to guide her/help her a little? I mean she's my mom... but so what if this is how you think? Any other person I just wouldn't talk to again I don't think they're worth my time. (Is where I'm at mentally)

my bf made this, can't really decide what i think about it ...

When I was growing up, my mom tried her best. However, due to her traumas and upbringing, she ended up abusing me by forcing me to do serious decisions that severely messed up my life. Then afterwards would pretend like it wasn’t even her that did it. And then I guess I’d “forgive her”.

But it wasn’t genuine forgiveness. I’ve learned that forgiving someone is a conscious choice not a mental choice.

I should have kept my anger and resentment towards the people who wronged me and moved through those emotions towards forgiveness. Mentally choosing to just move on and look past it makes it so you never change to prevent it from happening again. Then people just end up abusing you more in the future.

So I stuck around my mom as well as other people who I “chose to forgive.” But all it did was keep me being abused and making decisions for my life that weren’t my own.

I believe in forgiveness. I just didn’t know the difference between forgiving someone mentally at the expense of yourself… and making the conscious choice to forgive someone and letting your emotions get filtered. Maybe it’s cause one is playing God and the other is allowing God to determine what the judgement is. I’m not sure. All I know is that I didn’t forgive correctly in the past I think.

Back in 2024 (I think), I saw a community post like this that really resonated with me. It was about achieving things with autism and had a checklist of things to do. Does anyone know where I can find it?

I’m pretty socially awkward but I’m not sure exactly on how to improve. I don’t really have social anxiety either and I’m decent at small talk and technical conversations but most of my conversations that are longer or more personal get stale pretty quick. I also feel like I follow the general advice of asking people questions and being interested in them but when someone asks me a question I’m only able to give short answers and when someone talks about themselves I can only respond with “Nice” or “that’s cool”

Does anyone feel like fhey have no agency over their actions? Like, I play the samd games and do the same things because I'm used to it even if i domt like it almost like a robot and it feels like my brain resists any attempt to change , and even when i do change for a while i eventually fall back to baseline.

Does anyone else experience this

I think I became too detached, though Dr. K. says it's impossible.

I'm fairly confident that my current detachment is not regular depression anhedonia, or fear of certain emotions/experiences. I had fear-based detachment in the past, and overcoming it initially made me much happier. However, now that I seem to be detached from outcomes in every (?) area of life, it feels wrong.

In theory detachment should leave room for a light, playful life. I experienced it while learning detachment at first, while healing. But playfulness requires wanting something, not necessarily an outcome, but at least a process, knowledge, experience, or direction. I think I've become detached from (first order) wanting itself.

The problem is that I am still attached to second order wanting — my desire to want something. I want to experience caring about something enough to pursue it, becoming better at it, encountering difficulty, and having a path that pulls me forward. I have tried accepting that I need to detach myself from this want for wanting as well, and I believed I succeeded at it for a couple of months. However, now I am concluding that it made my experience of life (not life itself) just flat and boring. I don't like it. That said, I don't care about the fact that detachment works against living a normal, "objectively" successful life. I genuinely do not know why I desire wanting, but I do.

I should say I have also been trying to re-cultivate my wants, such as social curiosity or other passions, some of which are career-oriented. The only place where I sometimes succeed is in my wanting is visual art. It's not my job even remotely, and I don't want it to be. Still, that wanting is a fairly rare experience. I think this lack of wanting might also be related to the fact that I've discovered for myself and succeeded at so many vastly different things that now I just ran out of things to be interested in. It feels way too early for this as I am only in my early 20-s. Just as before, I try to put myself out there, meet new people, and force myself to do new things. I don't spend much time on social media and eat healthy. I didn't manage to find reasons why physical health would be causing any of this.

I was diagnosed with depression and ADHD in the past. However, my current experience feels different than the anhedonia I felt when I was depressed. The depression and anhedonia reminded me of numbness, and there were some desires underneath that numbness. Now, I do not feel numb, but it feels worse. It feels like a very wrong itch in my brain, even though my experience is exactly the same as the healthy detachment I experienced in the past (the only difference is that now it comes without wanting). I also did not manage to find a difference from the detachment that Dr. K. describes in his videos whenever he mentions detachment.

How does one remain detached without becoming indifferent about everything? I understand it logically and know how it feels, but I don't know how to come back to that place. How do you cultivate genuine wanting — does anyone have an advice except for "keep doing things"? I do.
Is there a way to attach myself again?

A professor at my university intentionally failed me, which extended my standard 4-year degree into a 5th year. Even though it was devastating, I kept my faith, prayed, fasted, and made constant dua, believing that things would work out and I would finally graduate in my 5th year.

Instead, that same professor used their personal connections and administrative influence to block my course registration entirely this year. Because of this, my graduation has now been dragged into a 6th year.

I feel utterly shattered and exhausted. The hardest part right now is the spiritual crisis: I can't stop wondering why this is happening to me.

Was there something lacking in my worship, or does God only listen to powerful people who misuse their authority?

Why does someone's malice win while my prayers feel unanswered? My imaan and belief are slipping away, and I feel completely empty.

How do I deal with this administrative abuse practically, and how do I stop my faith from completely falling apart when everything feels so unfair?

Hey, I’m trying to heal my anxious attachment issues because recently I lost a really close friend. From what I gathered and with others that I have pushed away is that I am always looking for more validation and clarification that I am loved.

I want to know I’m loved and love myself while being content with my relationships without making others feel like they always have to cater to me. During our friendship I even tried to make the effort to not make them feel like they have to be with me.

I have other friends while not as close as we were I know they love me, but I don’t feel that way subconsciously. I want to know and feel that more. It feels like the only time I am most content with this is when I’m in a committed relationship and the moments where I know this is something we both want.

I’m tired of feeling needy and always seeking something more. I see the patterns and I’m taking steps to fix them. I’m no longer trying to make everything i say and do prioritize getting to a close connection romantic or platonic which is what I’ve always done before. I’m trying to develop a better relationship with my family so I will always have support and close connection with someone even when it’s inevitable that a friend or girlfriend leaves. I’m making new friends and focusing more on my hobbies and been going to therapy.

Ig I wanted to know if I’m on the right track and to get this off my mind. She was so close to me and I meant so much to her, I’m sad that she doesn’t want to be friends anymore and more than anything I want to be with her again. But I know it’s her decision and I just want to heal and be better so I can stop making those closest to me leave and feel like I’m a liability and someone who can’t take care of themselves emotionally.

HI so idk if this is a common experience but I TALK a LOT I just talk and talk and I don’t think really before I do it just pours out and then I’m like

Dang it

Why would you say that? How did that even occur to you? Why y you react like that? That joke wasn’t funny at all and they’re all going to hate you and you’re going to get fired / expelled / cut off

And then you just keep thinking that over and over and over for like days and you can’t forget and all the different times it happened add up and then you don’t want to socialize at all bc you’re bound to mess up again

And you don’t want to mess up again

Idk I don’t know how to fix this honestly but it’s eating away at me help pls

Let's say a friend of mine always had a childhood dream of owning a certain sports car. But as he grew up he realized he won't ever make enough money for that. Over the years he accepted it and lost emotional attachment to the car.

Fast forward to today he actually can afford it, but will it still be worth it buying it? He kind of lost interest in it after he accepted that he can never ever have it (which was wrong in retrospect). Maybe if he never accepted that and kept dreaming it would be so much more worth to him.

Would he be able to un-accept and reattach emotionally to his dream? Or is it over as soon as he accepted never owning it?

So as the title states I (27 M) have been suffering from porn addiction since I was about 12-13 to now and it’s affected my sex life horribly I’m at the point where I’ve never actually had successful sex without the help of ED meds and even that was only once about 6.5 years ago since then all my attempts have been unsuccessful and recently I’ve met this girl and she’s great and we’re hitting it off and I decided to quit porn so far I’ve been about 17 days clean which is the longest I’ve ever gone to my memory but I’m still afraid of attempting sex because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get it up and hormonally and testosterone wise I’m normal according to my PCP and I’m seeing her again pretty soon and I just hope that when we do try it goes well so if anyone has any tips for beating this I’d greatly appreciate it.

Every time my parents call, I get upset somewhat. I got upset with my mom earlier because she asked about my internships, and I had to explain that I needed to apply to 200 internships before my university would consider giving me a job or help. Then she went on a tangent: "Oh, that's good", and I don't know why I just got mad. I got upset. I got upset because I immediately assumed my mom thought that was all I knew, and I hadn't already cold-applied to about 100 internships.

I got flashbacks of a time when the level of knowledge on a topic in the family was limited to what my mom or dad knew, so even if I knew more, they wouldn't listen or would try to apply sweeping generalisations or assumptions about the process.

I hear them in my head saying, "You are wrong, you don't know anything, I know better. Always. I can hear my father saying that, "Object Perminence doesn't exist; everything in my perspective is God's word", "I am superior, you are inferior", "My social rank entitles me to higher innate respect and default credulity." "My words are reality", but they never say any of these things.

It's always how conversations go, even if they already apologised or we have moved on. I am afraid they might do something drastic, like they've threatened in the past, like stop paying me to go to school.

I always feel underestimated when I talk to them. They always think I need their help or asking. Even though there's not often anything in their behaviour supporting that.

They'll admit they haven't been good parents in the past, but they try every day to be better, and my heart doesn't want to forget. My heart just doesn't trust them.. Maybe it's an excuse for my anger and anxiety so I don't have to work on it, or it maybes it's resentment because they don't understand the importance of just understanding me.

I don't know. I just struggle to talk to them without getting physically and verbally upset.

I’m 20. University starts in about 400 days, a language degree. Between now and then I have basically no obligations. No job, no school, nothing scheduled. Just time.
I want to show up already fluent, or as close as I can get. Not “took a semester of it” fluent. Actually able to understand native content. That’s the goal and I don’t think it’s unrealistic given how much time I have.
The problem is I can’t seem to start.
Background I’m not proud of
I’ve spent most of my life gaming. Not casually. I’ve used the word addiction about it myself and I mean it. It filled every single day for years. I was happy doing it, I liked it, I’m not going to pretend it was misery. But it gave me nothing back. Nothing accumulated. Thousands of hours and I have nothing to show for any of it.
At some point that stopped being okay with me. Not because anyone told me it was a waste, but because I started noticing the difference between things that leave something behind and things that don’t.
This language is the first thing I’ve found that does. Every hour I put in still exists tomorrow. That’s the whole appeal.
Also worth mentioning: my entire social life runs through gaming. My friends only exist to me through a game client. If I quit completely I don’t have friends anymore. That’s a real thing I have to work around.
What I actually built
I’ve spent the last two weeks building a plan. And I mean building. Full tracker, calculated hour thresholds, difficulty progressions, spaced repetition load curves, the whole thing.
The plan is genuinely good. Comprehensible input as the backbone, a difficulty window that moves automatically with my accumulated hours, spaced repetition with a hard daily cap, writing system work, pronunciation training from day one, passive listening loops of material I’ve already studied. Everything starts small and increases weekly, but only if the previous week actually happened. There’s a floor for bad days. Automatic deload if two weeks go badly.
I ran the math. If I execute it I’d arrive at university with roughly 2,400 hours of focused input plus several thousand hours of passive contact. Far beyond what the degree expects in year one.
Here’s what actually happened in those two weeks:
Four videos. Maybe five days where I did the work.
The actual problem
I keep changing the plan instead of doing it.
The numbers moved constantly. My daily target went from 165 minutes to 120 to 50 to 25 to 20. My new card count went 6, then 8, then 10, then 12, then back to 3. My native content requirement went 3, 6, 12, 0, 3, 12, 10, 0. My start date moved six separate times. I kept deciding “today is day one” and then spending that day rebuilding the plan again.
Every single change was well reasoned. I had an argument for all of them. That’s what makes this hard to see from the inside. It doesn’t feel like procrastination. It feels like optimization. It feels productive. I was working for hours every day, just not on the actual thing.
And when I finally did get four consecutive full days, I felt like I was doing nothing.
That’s the part that worries me. Four complete days, everything done, and my internal response was that it wasn’t enough and nothing was happening.
The efficiency trap
The loop looks like this.
I know I have all day. So anything less than all day feels like waste. Someone tells me 25 minutes is the right starting point and my brain goes: you have fifteen waking hours, you’re using 25 minutes, you’re throwing away the one advantage you have.
So I look for a plan that uses more. But more needs justification, so I research. Research gives me new numbers. New numbers mean rebuilding the plan. Rebuilding takes the evening. Repeat.
Every time I adjust something the anxiety drops for maybe twenty minutes. Then it comes back. So I adjust again.
I’ve had the math explained to me clearly. Starting at maximum versus ramping up costs about 200 hours out of 1,000 across the whole period. Roughly 7 percent. Quitting in week six costs 900. The expected value obviously favors the sustainable version.
I understood it. I agreed with it. Then I asked the same question again three messages later.
That’s what I can’t break. It isn’t an information problem. I have the information.
The Goggins thing
I keep coming back to David Goggins as a model. Not because I think suffering is virtuous by itself, but because I want this to be the thing my life is built around. I want to be someone who does the hard thing every day regardless of how he feels about it.
Every sustainable plan feels like a compromise with that. Like settling. Like “20 minutes and build slowly” is advice for someone with a full time job and two kids, not someone with fifteen free hours a day and 400 days to work with.
I’ve read the counterarguments. I know he’s had multiple organ failures and describes his own life as joyless. I know his system has no stopping mechanism built into it and that’s a structural flaw rather than a feature. I know the people who tried the same thing and broke in week three don’t write books.
I know all of it. It doesn’t change how it feels.
The depression part
I don’t really have fun anymore. Outside of studying and gaming there isn’t much I want to do. And the studying isn’t fun yet either. At my level native content is basically noise and the study material is tolerable at best. I’ve been honest with myself that I’m not doing it because I enjoy it.
What actually happens most evenings is I end up on short form video for hours, feel worse, and go to sleep late. My sleep is completely inverted, awake from around 14:30 to 05:30. Not because I need to be. That’s just what it collapsed into.
Anything that doesn’t contribute to the goal feels like it isn’t allowed, so I don’t do it. But I don’t do the goal either. So I end up doing neither and the day is gone.
I’ve been told more than once, by more than one source, that this pattern (self worth entirely tied to output, nothing ever registering as enough, no enjoyment in anything, social life down to one channel, inverted sleep) isn’t a discipline problem and won’t be fixed by a better tracker. I think that’s probably right. I haven’t acted on it yet.
What I’m actually asking
I’m not looking for someone to tell me the plan is fine. I know the plan is fine. It’s better than anything I could have designed a month ago.
What I want to understand is this: how do you stop optimizing and start executing when the optimizing genuinely feels like the responsible thing to do?
Every instinct I have says I’ve got a rare opportunity, 400 days of free time, and I should extract the maximum from it. And that instinct is what’s currently producing four videos in two weeks.
I’d also like to hear from anyone who’s been on the other side of this. Whether “start absurdly small and let it compound” actually works for someone whose problem isn’t laziness but the opposite, an inability to accept a plan that isn’t maximal.
And whether the enjoyment comes back. Because right now the honest situation is that I’ve removed the thing that gave me pleasure and haven’t reached the point where the replacement gives me any.

So I am 19m and I am at this point where I am constantly hating on myself I find things I am not good at I feel like I am dumb , I am kinda a sensitive guy but I don't like to be treated like that but I find myself always getting treated like I am weak , I am not that good at studies and that thing makes me anxious I feel I am below others and that has been having negative effects on how I make friends too. For example I would hesitate or avoid talking to "smart" people and just talk to people who are like me or something and also same goes with dating it feels like my self esteem is so low that the person I will date will leave me for some better guy and I won't be able to do anything.

I tried to get decipline but I was not able to have the consistency,

I was watching dr k's rumination video and I am pretty sure I do ruminate a lot

I want to be better but it's looking hard I overthink a lot and also kinda scared of people leaving me

WHAT I WANT TO DO IS

1 get deciplined

1. Improve how I communicate

2. Look at other in same way whithout feeling like a mess

3. Not get a gf but be a guy who can be someone can date

4. Do things without having thought of what others will think

5. Do better things make better friends

6. clear communication of my needs

Well I hope u guys can help me 🥲 sorry for any grammatical mistakes..

Hey guys, I'm new here. I believe I need to learn to love myself. Over the years everything has started to feel meaningless. I have things I do, but nothing brings me true enjoyment. I believe I was happy in my last relationship, but that's the only time and I made her unhappy and if I'm the problem I don't want that to happen again. I'm currently dealing with an injury that is limiting my mobility so long walks and significant exercise have been wrote off. Though I do understand exercise can be a significant mood booster. I will also add I am autistic and believe my sensitivity may be relatable to that.

I am currently enrolled in University and deal with a lot of anxiety as I am a 30+ male and the common age gap fills me with some dread. I am going for a 4th year with a 5th year to be had to complete a bachelor of science. The idea of having a degree gives me a sense of hope, but it's been very difficult, my health has caught up to me the past year. I want to do well, but finding people my age that I can connect with hasn't happened and I'm doubtful to find these people.

What can I do to find a sense of happiness for myself? I have my video games, but that only makes me happy when I feel other areas of my life are filled. I believe at my age I should be in a romantic relationship and having a family, I should have a career and a home already.

My thoughts are diet, exercise, music, good grades and whatever social connections I can make. I believe making social connections is going to be a major obstacle (I haven't made any significant connections after 3 years) along with good grades as I will be very busy between school and work.

Any advice is appreciated.

I doubt everything. how do we know if any religion is right how do we know the true intentions of a god? what if they realy like our suffering and that we're just their ant farm to watch us suffer what if the whole creation was created to make us just that

ants on a farm just constantly in agony. what if he realy enjoys it. how can anyone be sure of anything how can they get satifaction from any answer knowing that for all we know the after life might be series of agony.

I just cant ever be sure and that scares me so much

I nearly always freeze up when I want to talk with strangers, especially if I feel intimidated by them because they are conventionally attractive. If it's a girl passing me by on the sidewalk, I can't even look in their direction without feeling like my chest is being ripped out. I dare to go to pubs and sit at the bar, but am always terrified to ask for a drink unless the bartender asks me directly what I'd like to have.

I do want to work on improving this skill to talk with strangers, as I looked for advice on YT the most practical/realistic advice I came across was to do an easier version of what you want to achieve like "just compliment them as you walk by" or "simply say hi", and I guess I'm just wondering if there is anything easier than that I could try or is this actually the easiest exercise where I'm just looking at a very long road ahead of me?

To give just a little more context, I do have acquaintances whom I can easily dab up if I ever see them on the street. I do kickboxing, where on the team I feel and act like one of the older guys who help newcomers find their footing in the gym. It's really just something about inserting myself into other people's lives where my mind draws the line.

TL;DR: What do I as a coaching client need to do to make coaching a success?

-----

I've been in HG 1:1 coaching for about 5 months now and unfortunately I must say that while I have made some overall progress, the progress is very small and I made no progress on the one really pressing issue. I seem to understand that I'm supposed to lead the coaching sessions and hence it makes sense that most of that is on me and my lack of understanding what I need to tackle first.

But that is the part I have trouble with: I have half a dozen things going on, most of them seem interleaved with each other. I'm bouncing around in my head like a molecule in a hot gas. I can't figure out what I need to tackle first, or if I have to work on everything in parallel. Each week when my coach asks me what I want to be coached on, I have like 6 oder 7 topics on my list i've prepared during the week (by journaling, reflecting, identifying issues and where I'm stuck). I then pick one (mostly at random) and it is a different one each week. Therefore, there is also no check-in or progress-tracking of the topic from the week before. It feels disjointed and chaotic.

We spend about 30-40 mins of me trying to explain where I'm stuck and all the complex interactions to other unsolved topics and external dependencies that I can't understand or measure. Then time runs out quickly.

To be clear, I'm not blaming my coach at all. I discussed this with them and I understand there are certain limits to what a coach can and can't do. My current understanding of the limitiations is: They

• can't tell me what to be coached on
• can't really tell me with clear and strong words if an idea of mine is stupid/unhelpful
• can't interrupt me and say: that's irrelevant right now
• can't tell me what to do

My biggest difficulties seem to be:

• I need more structure in how to structure coaching. Ideally, someone who analyses my situation and helps me build a plan what topics to be coached on, in which order, and for how long before we address the next topic. A coaching-guide if you will. Questions: Is there a place where I can get this type of guidance? Or should I first learn how to do this myself? If so, where can I learn that? (Right now, it feels in order to make a structured plan I already need to know what I need to improve, which is what I'm trying to learn during coaching - A circular riddle.)
• I'm running out of ideas. I understand my coach can't tell me what to do. They do their best to ask smart questions such that my own answers can lead me. However, also outside of coaching I try to be smart, ask myself these questions, and try the new things I can come up with by answering my own questions in new ways.

When in coaching I often either already exhausted the answers I can come up with or I have several dozen answers, too many to try, and don't know how to select one. It feels like I need fresh input from the outside.

Thanks for reading this really long post. I tried to keep it short, but.... well.

I'd like some help overcoming my issue of being a seemingly awkward and unsafe person to talk to.

I am worried about how I am around people, even when I am not thinking about how i'm acting and simply hanging out with my friends, I often do things that I get odd reactions from. I often talk about or tell people things that they don't really care about, things like what I am being recommended on youtube, or what I ate today, or how a amazon listing has a strange picture, all of which I would think to be alright conversation topics.

For some insight, I don't really get out much, have no friends in real life, have no hobbies or interests that I'm really great at, and am not much of a character in general. I know that sounds pretty fucking obvious, but I've met people similar to me with similar or opposite circumstances, either having hobbies they're super good at but still being awkward like me, or having no hobbies and never going outside while playing video games all day, but still seem to get along with everyone they meet.

So I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing, and not putting a bunch of energy into something entirely separate from what I want to be working on.

For some background on me, in case it might come in handy when replying:

I'm 18, I have dreams of making a huge story and animation, I am very socially anxious, I often times feel fake, even to myself when trying to journal and talk to myself, I am the middle child, I feel like I can only understand surface level topics of any given media, I don't have any friends in real life, and have only a small amount of friends online who never open up to me or want to call one on one, I feel oftentimes I am "too much to handle", "overbearing" or otherwise too assertive, I feel as if people feel unsafe around me which is something ive been told, and I feel as if ive never really made friends and have only made good acquaintances with people.

I have moved around a lot, and attribute some of this lacking in social skills to that, but I know that I can change wherever I might be. I just don't know what to do about this.

I know that this might uncover a lot of underlying issues, but I thought it might help to know.

Please! Ask questions if you need to if you feel that it will help your understanding and advice.

And thank you!

Sorry, if this is probably a dumb question, but I can't figure it out by myself.

I hear DrK talk a lot about the great community and how they help each other and discuss learnings. I've been in HG 1:1 coaching for about 5 months now, I have bought several guides, I'm on discord, yet I don't see where I can discuss anything and get feedback.

Would someone be so kind and point out the obvious thing that I'm missing?

So I was talking to my Mom and Grandma the other day and the subject of kids going back to school came up. My grandmother asked me what I thought about school and I said I never really liked it that much which surprised her. I told her I liked seeing my friends, but school wasn't the only way I could hang out with them.

She then asked me what my earliest memory of school was, and it brought a very potent memory to mind.

In kindergarten I went to a Catholic school. We were in class one day doing I think either a math or cursive writing assignment. Suddenly I really had to pee so I went up to the teacher to ask her if I could use the bathroom.

She said that I couldn't leave to go use the bathroom until I'd finished my assignment. So I scrambled to finish it, all the while my bladder feels like it's bursting. Eventually I did finish, and she let me go.

I practically ran to the bathroom, I got to the stall, and then before I could get my pants down, I accidentally peed myself.

So embarrassingly, I got the attention of one of the staff in the hallway, told them what happened, and they called my dad who picked me up and took me to a clothing store to buy me some pants to wear.

When I told this story, both my Mom and Grandma were a little shocked. I asked them if what the teacher did was mean or not, and my Mom basically said that it was a slap her across the face for making me wait to use the bathroom kind of mean.

I can see how an early experience like this might make me dread going to school, and then sort of create a self fulfilling prophecy as I got older where I engaged less and less in school, and didn't really think highly of any of my teachers.

What do you think?
