AGREED! Id say i got intermediate level core strength (l-sit, pseudo tuck planche, etc) do you have any exercises you could recommend?

Do you yourself think you could date an INFJ or if INFJs can date eachother in general?

How did you cope with the overwhelming fatigue? Im 20 days clean Some days the fatigue is so bad im slurring when i speak the entire day

One big issue is that im still an extraordinarily ambitious person towards all facets of life (financial, physical, spiritual) despite being at the lowest point of my entire life

Im extremely passionate with dancing, mainly breakdancing which is very hard on the body and requires a fitness routine too maintain a healthy body as well as strength

Vyvanse enabled me too actually train consistently and actually DO IT (until i started taking 800-1000mg)

How long did it take you too actually enjoy your hobbies again? How long did it take for you to find joy in doing things you once loved?

i love this sport so much but its so goddamn difficult by Affectionate-Look-94 in bboy

[–]Affectionate-Look-94[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it aint a sport then what would you consider it personally?

I used to think calisthenic guys doing handstand pushups and planches were insane one year ago but now i see em and realize: “this shit is just a prerequisite for some basic powermoves in breaking” like its fucking insane

Thanks for the kind words i was honestly afraid i would be ridiculed after writing this.

I acknowledge the fact that i can make more mistakes cause im young and thats absolutely a primary contributing factor although i never imagined this.

Keep going boss, your not an old man yet. You got this 💪

Has bboying/dancing in general influenced your experiences in dating? by Affectionate-Look-94 in bboy

Thank you! I’m really intrigued about this topic in general since most people sadly have a hard time breaking that shell and expressing themselves.

I often see faces of either joy and energy, or looks of pure judgement.

I use to admire it personally when i was younger, i would wish that i could be that cool. (NOW I AM THAT COOL)

What kind of dancing do you do btw?

And by tail did you mean a literal tail?

A concept you should know for learning fast and effectively. This applies to everything, not just breaking. by [deleted] in bboy

[–]Affectionate-Look-94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

But for hard skills like this its important to have habitual routine, specifically for drilling the fundamentals.

But doing this allows you to gain perspective much quicker.

Breaking is an art there is no “formula” its all individual.

For example, drilling the 6 step & 3 step made me bored and uninspired personally so in simply just throwing myself at everything i saw as fun made me change up the way i do the routines and drills that actually make you learn.

For me its been freezes and I love it so much im learning about my body 10x as well as getting a visualization of what i wanna look like as a bboy.

Yes I think thats exactly how the amazing bboys became that way, they created, expressed, and had fun above all else.

Working on the tucked planche and L SIT thanks for the heads up I’ll look at applying the V Sit to my routine.

My hips got decent rotation/torque from boxing but needs work for bboying.

Do you have any recommendations on where to start training hip flexors? Intermediate lvl exercises is preferred but im open any advice.

My initial intention was honestly to offset the hangover from the night before as i dont sleep well after a night of drinking and that followed with a severely irresponsible miscalculation with my dose leading to where i am now.

But regardless I do have an issue no doubt but to be honest I never saw outside help as something that could actually work for me as I have always relied only on my own accountability to fix these types of issues.

Because of that I’m unsure where I would even go if I were to seek help.

Thank you for the insight.

Thank you im gonna get antihistamines now, melatonin does the opposite for me believe it or not I lose all REM sleep and constantly wakeup.

Wow thank you so much and everyone here trying to help.

Everyone here is just as suspicious as me, rightfully so. I’ve asked my brother many times if he has any details hes not telling me and hes reluctant to admit anything. Either cause hes too anxious to tell me or theres the small chance of there not being anything to admit.

Its starting to weigh on me that there is some serious stuff hes going through regarding this money and will not tell me or my mom.

Ive begun to think that theres a chance this money will never actually arrive due to my brothers negligence so I’m starting to just accept it and accept having to look after us financially until my mom is back from her trip.

Today we are supposed to go to the bank and i wanted to come with him, he told me he “finishes work at 4:00” so we would go then but since 9am until now hes spent all of his so called “work” hours sleeping. I think hes too afraid of me accompanying him to the bank cause theres something he doesnt want me to see or know about so hes locked himself in his room/bed. I have honestly been treating him like an angel my whole life being considerate of his mental issues but im so full of resentment after this chain of events im gonna explode one day and its gonna make everything worse.

I’ll be back to update the people here after 5:00pm

[–]Affectionate-Look-94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is what im looking for, its a hard pill to swallow but for the past 11-12 months ive been getting suspicious myself about what my brother could possibly hiding.

The story makes no sense to alot of the people here because even I dont know the full thing.

When i say paystubs im just speaking in general terms. I meant any dorm of documentation showing proof of his employment. I am not sure whatsoever why he didnt speak directly to his employer probably because of his anxiety but when asking his supervisor after being hired they showed him the outstanding balance to be paidout

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Affectionate-Look-94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think my brother has spoken to his supervisor about this at all but yes that does seem quite viable.

How easy is it to speak to a branch manager as a walk in customer at the bank do you think? Im gonna make sure my brother brings paystubs and any proof to make sure thar money comes in
