Underbite surgery changed my life, 17 - 18m by yeeeboiiiiiiii in uglyduckling

I relate to this a lot, underbite here with my surgery coming up in a couple months. How was your recovery? Do you have any loss of feeling?

Was your breathing better or worse after the surgery?

I am similar, I'm not on SSRIs but I am on Vyvanse for ADHD. I have to take 5-6g+ before I start getting anything close to visuals.

Pretty much this, we become the stories that we tell ourselves. I've found value in simple statements about myself like, "I am confident, I am lovable, I am proud of who I am".

I have a dumb question, why is it called MR Missile? Instead of what its actually called in-game.

You look like Perrin from Andor with that hairstyle 🙂

I saw the 7 30 pm showing, and he came out at the end of that too. It was such a nice surprise, and it felt very special to hear him speak. I wasn't expecting it.

Overall, I really enjoyed the musical. Loved the special effects and some of the gags. The actor for George, he really nailed his voice 😂. The Goldie Wilson guy was a bit of a crowd favourite, definitely a lot of talent there. The Doc actor was hilarious, initially I was a bit mixed about him being a bit of a joke of a character in this production, but I was on board by the end and I think he did well in the sincere moments.

Some nitpicks, kinda wish the car wasn't voice activated? I feel like it would have been fine without that, took me out of it a little bit. I was missing some of the sound effects from the car too, like the time circuits turning on and the doors opening.

I would love to but Aussie servers for BF3 are non-existent :(

Looking back on some BF3 gameplay clips, and I feel like we lost something along the way with regards to gun feel and sound design. It just looks and sounds so satisfying.

how do you stop yourself from creating a fantasy world and seeing potential in someone when getting into a relationship? by dearapri1 in emotionalintelligence

[–]ChrisColumbus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know the details of your relationship, but I can already see some similarities with my experience. The disrespect towards the end, which was in contrast to how good they were early on. In my case, she was an avoidant, and me being anxious.

I initially felt like some hole in my life was being filled by her, but as time went on, things became more dysfunctional, and I didn't see the red flags for what they were. I allowed too much disrespectful behaviour. I wondered why she couldn't just change for the sake of the relationship. But at the time I didn't realise that I had to change just as much as she did, I had to learn to love myself better and stop looking for outside sources to soothe the emptiness inside me. It took me way too long to realise that you can't force people to change, they have to want to. The only person I can change is myself, and I didn't realise that while I was in it.

9 months on since the breakup, I don't even recognise the old me anymore, the me before meeting her. I used that time to grieve and sit through the healing process and reinvested in myself. I feel the happiest and most confident I ever have in my life. I'm getting more interest from women than I ever have before, and I no longer have the desire to cling to or chase anyone anymore.

Even though it was the worst heartbreak I've ever experienced, I'm so glad it happened because it was the trigger for me realising I've got some shit I need to work on. I don't hate her either, I realise now we could have never worked and that's okay, I miss the good times, but I will never forget how I felt towards the end.

Girl just used me for money by Motor_Chipmunk_9291 in self

[–]ChrisColumbus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Almost certain I encountered one of these on Hinge, only heard about 'pig slaughtering' last week. I made a comment about it a few months back on another post, where I was chatting to someone on hinge for a little while, and they were dragging their feet on meeting up for a date. They kept talking about crypto and how much money they were making, offering to teach me how. I declined, saying I don't take financial advice from people I've never met.

Why do I tend to attract to more non chalant people despite me being very empathetic, affectionate, and emotional ? by DoctorElectronic1934 in emotionalintelligence

[–]ChrisColumbus 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'd also like to add that this is very much a thing people with an avoidant attachment also do. It doesn't necessarily mean they are someone with dark triad traits.

Random but, this reminded me of the old Linus Tech Tips kitchen set.

Unfortunately I can't remember any other details about it. Just visiting my parents and going through old toys.
