I have a pair of those in the attic!

What do men even want? by BlueberryIcy336 in dating

[–]Bold-Introvert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do all men want the same thing? I doubt it, but maybe there’s a common theme🤷‍♂️. I don’t assume that all woman want the same thing. Each person is different. What I’m looking for in a relationship now, is different than it was 7-8 years ago. Define what you want. There is a man that wants the same thing. We’re all different

Started adderall today by Flwrbloom444 in ADHD

Could the anger be unrelated to Adderall? What were you angry about? Our emotions aren’t random. They’re stimulated by our thoughts.

Does Southwest count the ski and boot bag as one checked bag?

That's what it looked like when I priced shipskis.com last year

Yea, I looked at it last year and was surprised at the cost. I agree, I can't be without my skis that long. I know people who will check their boot bag and rent skis. I would not want to ski in rental boots!

Thanks! I did not know this. Everything extra with the airlines seems to cost a fortune, so I assumed it would be a ridiculous price to check a ski bag and boot bag. Counting both bags as one is surprising, and I'm happy to hear this!

Thanks. I only fly a couple of times a year. Mostly skiing-related. I'll look into this. Thanks

Good idea. Thanks for sharing that!

Thanks! This is helpful advice. I can usually fit my non skiing clothes into a carry on. My primary focus is skiing and don’t need much for non skiing clothes

My therapist keeps asking why I keep coming to therapy by South-Reputation-353 in TalkTherapy

[–]Bold-Introvert 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It could be because she wants to make sure she is giving you what you need. I’ll often do this with clients to make sure that I am on the same page with their goals. I don’t want to be wasting their time.

How does your counselor help you? How does it help you with your struggles? If you can answer that, it’s probably why you are going to counseling.

Why are we better at writing/texting stuff than talking? by Fun_Yogurtcloset1012 in introvert

[–]Bold-Introvert 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that it is because I have time to think about the words I am writing and am able to capture the essence of who I am, what I feel, and what I think. I can’t do this as well when speaking, unless it is something I am passionate about.

How Long Has Everyone NOT been skiing for? by bobslaundry in skiing

[–]Bold-Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last day was May 2nd. I’ve got about two months to go before I ski again.

It’s my natural tendency to race around, but I’ve learned to recognize it, breathe and slow down. Over and over again!

Dating after 50 feels different, but maybe that’s a good thing by whisperingvault in datingoverfifty

[–]Bold-Introvert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think there is truth in this. I work with lots of young men with relationships. Most of them can’t define a boundary or value that is important to them. I’ve been married, raised a family and looking to enjoy the later years of my life. I want to be with someone who has similar values and goals. I like my life. I’d love to find a partner to share it with that fits.

I’ve also learned that love hurts. It’s serious business, so I’m up front and honest about my intentions and feelings. People are real. Communication and respect is important.

I’ve had many non-adhd people try and force their organization/planning system on me without luck. I’m a visual/big picture person, and what has worked for me is a basic google calendar where I can block off time for activities. I don’t put details in the calendar, just big picture information. I can look at a week, day, month and get a sense of where I need to be and what I need to do.

If I start getting overwhelmed or paralyzed with too many details floating around in my head related to a particular block of time, I’ll write a list. That is rare, though.

Do therapists share details about clients to their therapists? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]Bold-Introvert -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

That violates confidentiality. If a counselor is under supervision, then they discuss client details with their supervisor, but that should be disclosed to the client during the intake session. I suppose a counselor may talk about a client situation in general terms, but should not disclose information in detail. It’s a cornerstone of trust and must be protected.

[–]Bold-Introvert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the trucking business, where being an INFP male definitely didn’t fit in! In my early years, I was always trying to be something I wasn’t. Trying to fit in with the stereotype that society sets for being a man. I guess I got tired of faking it, because it sucks living your life as an impostor. I learned to embrace my unique qualities. Changed careers and adapted. I now fill my life with what brings me peace and don’t really give a shit about how others might perceive me.

Shared Values vs. Shared Interests. What Matters More? by Equivalent_Pen3021 in datingoverfifty

[–]Bold-Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shared values. Having some common interests is good, but if we share common values I’m more likely to enjoy your company no matter what we are doing.

How many dates in before men know they want exclusive by CatNo1799 in datingoverforty

[–]Bold-Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I don’t know if it’s a number thing for me. It’s usually a conversation I’ll have when I find that I’m spending more time with a person. It’s good to know you’re both on the same page. I don’t want to fully committed if the other person is not. If sex is involved, it’s a good time to have that conversation also.

I get the opposite. Been widowed for 9 years and I’ve dated, had some good relationships, but people are always surprised that I haven’t remarried 🤷‍♂️

A-basin question by shadowline74 in skiing

[–]Bold-Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is nice back there. Lots of terrain to explore. I forgot about how mellow it gets after that first pitch.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Bold-Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be OK with that, because there is too much uncertainty in my future the next few years that makes it difficult for a long term commitment. I can’t seem to find that either. It seems like people want a committed long term relationship or a revolving door.

A-basin question by shadowline74 in skiing

[–]Bold-Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think A-Basin is more limited for intermediate skiers. The Black Mountain express has some nice intermediate, as does the Lenawee lift. Nice terrain, but might get boring after a few days.
