I imagine a specific authority in my life or from my past (okay, this is usually my mother) getting really angry and yelling at me to get my ass up and get to work. If you have any memories of being yelled at by an authority figure, use those to help build the image.
I’m desperate enough to ask on LW. Of course I’ve Googled everything I could think of.
The link is decent, combining two good tricks and a valuable insight, but all three have been on LW before so I knew them.
Pointing out Alicorn in particular may be useful, but isn’t it sort of forcing her to offer help? She already did, though, which makes this point moot.
I more or less meant direct a question to her and see what happens rather than impose and keep bugging, which I had a feeling you wouldn’t do in either case.
I’m flattered, but while I enjoy helping people, I’m not sure how I’ve projected being proficient at it such that you’d notice—can you explain whence this charming compliment?
why of course!
I’ve been lurking for a few years now so I remember when you began posting on self help etc.
now that think more about it though, I might’ve had pjeby in mind as well, you two sort of ‘merged’ when I wrote that above comment, heh
but really, proficient is just a word choice, I guess it is flattery, and I did mean to signal you, but that’s how I usually write.
apologies if that overburdened you in anyway..
ETA: oh and I’d meant to write ‘more proficient’, not just ‘proficient’.

I promise to give this a honest try, but I expect it to result in panic more than anything.

also, contact someone who is proficient in helping people, for eg. here we have Alicorn, or try some googling.
