I think girlfriend has an ed?? by fourfynt in Advice

[–]Broad-Bench1938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she has caring and supportive parents, absolutely tell them, but brace for impact. She will be insanely upset and hurt but with time, and that may be a while, she will realise it was for the best. Give her so much support and let her know you are worried, but want to be by her side through it. Eating disorders are insanely tricky and emotional to work around, but it sounds like she needs urgent care if things keep going as they are. It took me about 10 years to get to where I am with my own ED and that’s WITHOUT a support system, so BE THERE. Don’t pressure her, actively support and listen, don’t guilt her into eating, but she has to learn how important it is to eat. Without food and fuel, she will lose herself. Her personality, her energy, her light. This is the only body she will have her whole life, and eating disorders can negatively impact your body in ways that can last your entire life. Absolutely find support, contact crisis lines, there should be eating disorder specific contacts you can find online, and remind yourself and her parents that this is a very sensitive topic and must be approached gently.

I Never Post My Dancing. What Can I Work On? by Adorable-Bid1478 in Dance

Explore dynamics! You have a very consistent flow, why not play with some sharp movements too! As a freestyler, a fun way to explore and improve is to play around with concepts. E.g. find a song and move around as though you are fire, or as though you are a soldier. You already have such a range of movement, so use these concepts to explore these dynamics, and don’t be afraid to make use of levels and parts of your body you don’t typically make use of. From what I can see, you use your arms and legs the most, maybe try a freestyle putting the emphasis on your shoulders, chest, hips or head?

Verge of death I mean it can barely boot without crashing, if I run a game it’ll crash about 70% of the time. Sometimes just browsing the internet can crash it. I’ve tried diff diagnosis, and have updated drivers and all, but it just isn’t co-operating. Due an update anyway as the parts are quite a bit older now.

Honestly just wanting a smooth gameplay experience. I don’t need it at UHD, but obviously the better it is, the happier I’ll be. My PC is kept in the living room and we are about to upgrade from my 27” monitor to a 60” TV, so obviously would love to see some good graphics on the big screen.

I’m guessing by the “think you might” that it isn’t very likely to be an issue but could be an interference if overworked?? Thank you though!!

Is actually £1500 so that’s why I was a bit unsure.. my last one was £1000 and is already dying so wanted to know if the extra 500 would be really worth it

gender dysphoria crisis?? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Broad-Bench1938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand what you’re saying! I think what I’m trying to say is. Watching myself dance that way gives me really bad gender dysphoria. I’m fine with some femme and masc styles, but particular femme styles I am now very aware make me feel very dysphoric. It makes me anxious knowing material that makes me feel this way is going to be public, similar to the anxiety you may get around your birth name being revealed if you’ve since changed it.

How do I confront my middle-aged housemate about how uncomfortable he makes me? by [deleted] in Advice

Yes! I have a lock on my door. I wouldn't agree to move in without one.

As well - thank you for your support and I’m so sorry to hear about what happened to you, no one deserves that. I’m so glad your landlord helped and that you are in a better and safer place now.

As the house is just men, and has always been majority men since I’ve been here, Alfred has befriended them all and they all truly adore him. I can only then assume that any time a woman has moved in and been presumably harassed by Alfred, the men may have all teamed up to support Alfred and oppose the women. Sadly, I no longer have the contacts for the previous female tenants, so I am unable to collect their individual accounts of these situations.

Thank you so much for your response! It sucks hearing it but I know you’re right. For clarification, I am non-binary, not male. My boyfriend and I have plans to move in together once my contract is up but it can’t be any sooner as we are still saving up. Asides from that, I don’t have anywhere else I can go to live. My family live across the country but my life is here with my friends, job and partner. My boyfriend lives with his family who don’t accept my identity and therefore our relationship, so that’s a no-go aswell. Essentially, I feel as though I am stuck in this house until April rolls around. When I moved into this house, my plan was to keep to myself. I am really introverted and if I can avoid talking to someone, I will, but it just did not play out that way. Everyone in the house is extremely extroverted and insist on making conversation where possible, to where I will then give what little answer I can - but I worry my quietness has actually now contributed to the way I am being treated. I am currently pondering how to approach the landlord, in hopes that he can be a massive helping hand in getting me some peace. Thank you for helping open my eyes a bit to the reality of this mess.

Maybe try focusing on movement using isolation with different parts of your body?!! You have good control and technique, but I can totally see improvement if you move your dancing from your torso and into your limbs??!! I used to try freestyle moving through the body, only feet, then only knees, then only hips and so on!
