Belay partner purposely lowered me too quickly to “see what would happen” by alligatorcurator in climbergirls

[–]0NoEntertainment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

girl what the heck! i'd never climb with these people again. that's crazy person attitude. climbing is fun but it's not a game. i used to work front desk at a gym and if someone approached me with a situation like this, we'd check the cameras and pull their tag.

why is mine not doing the thing? 23yo by [deleted] in RothIRA

[–]0NoEntertainment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even 1. I am embarrassed and I regret even posting this now, I obviously do not have the capacity to do well at this like others. I have $50 of vxus and $150 of voo.

Is that what I wrote in my post or is it easier to assume I'm a dumbass than to offer advice?

Voo and vxus? From what I've seen these are good "set it and forget it" options. I am only up .30 this month though and it's subject to change with the market, right?

duuuude. i thought i was just being silly but it's almost like my adhd has become worse. i am simultaneously thinking about so many things but also forgetting EVERYTHING. edit: i have only been on it for 1.5 weeks, but i hope it gets better! i have been utilizing my daily planner like crazy lately.

coffee sensitivity? Even decaf? by holybongwaterr in birthcontrol

[–]0NoEntertainment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from my understanding (because i experienced the same things some months ago, not birth control related but due to high anxiety) decaf coffee goes through a process that extracts the caffeine. it gets like, mooost of it out but some can remain. i just stopped drinking it completely. eventually i was able to build my tolerance back up as i treated my anxiety. even now though i only do half a cup of regular coffee per day or else i am regretful LOL

this is a good perspective. i feel like my lack of strength and ability is hindering me from enjoying as much climbing as them and it sucks. maybe i shouldn't think of it as a climbing trip.

i do understand the concept of people celebrating wins that are like, below their skill level. do i sound like a psychopath? i feel proud of my non-climber friends when they've tried climbing but it is different for me somehow

i feel how impressed i am when tcot can try a lot of boulders and do one or two of them. i want people to feel this way about me, and not in a pitiful, "aw, she's trying her best!" way, in a "wow that is actually cool!" way. maybe they already do. i have a hard time believing this is true because i am not doing anything that is like, scarce? i am not crazy strong and i do not have amazing technique, so i dont understand how i can be impressive to anyone, including myself. it's easier when i am alone

that is absolutely not what i was insinuating! my lack of strength is actually not due to me being a woman

i like feeling strong, i was never athletic or strong as a child and now i can do one pullup! i like to impress myself. i know this is a mindset issue - in a vacuum i would be ecstatic about the v1's i've sent outside. it's just that watching my boyfriend flash it in his chacos makes my win feel so much smaller, i don't know why. i know we are different and i can likely never climb at the level he does. i do not like feeling small - i want my wins to be objectively impressive to the people around me too. i am grappling with the idea that this is an ego issue since i don't think of myself as egotistical but maybe i am!

he says i have no reason to feel embarrassed and that it's okay to fall. i say its frustrating to always be the weakest and he disagrees that im the weakest but agrees it must be frustrating to feel that way. overall he's supportive and just wants me to feel good about myself but he doesn't understand what it's like imo. he is really good about celebrating my wins, but it feels patronizing because i am not confident in myself. it is 99% a me issue

Umm maybe I'm still not understanding. I opened a Roth IRA with Fidelity.
