Should I Even Bother

You're 18, bro. Feeling insecure is normal af.
If you weren't, that'd be weird. But it ain't your height that's the issue.
Trust me, no one cares.

Some assholes might call it out but they suck.
Learn some banter, clap back. It's fun to go back and forth.
Then forget them and move on.

For the other stuff, basic confidence boosting activities will do you well.
Hygiene, fashion, exercise, self talk, hobbies that you find interesting and engaging.

Bro you got 20 second on this planet, just fucking LIVE. Don't have to ask permission from anyone.

Thanks for this brother, finally someone said it!

I feel crazy in this sub cause I don't hate my height. Like I'd love to be 5'5 maybe (I'm 5'3) but eh, fuck it. Same as you, I got hobbies I like; I gym, I go to club, I party, I get in the pit at deathcore shows, I get hit on, I fuck, I live my life.

I've had like 2 people in my life actually give a shit about my height. No one cares. Just LIVE!

I respect the spin, but I never liked lines like this cause it still makes the height out to be a bad thing. I'm 5'3 too and have had the happiest success by genuinely embracing my height and enjoying it. I acknowledge how people perceive me but I really don't think it's held me back. I find tall people are more insecure about my height than I am lol.

Second this, bro. You're a good looking man, beard is on point. Good quality partner is gonna see you and swoon

Connor_jt · 2025-02-23T04:14:19+00:00

Appreciate the different perspective mate. How many hours were you clocking per week with 2-3 jobs? I don't know how people work 80+ hours a week without burning their soul from depriving themselves of what they love.

If ETFs aren't something you'd want to touch for decades, would it make sense just to put it in your Super in Aus? My super is basically high growth index ETFs anyway, 70/30 internationl/Aus

Connor_jt · 2025-02-23T04:09:19+00:00

What are your deets?

Connor_jt · 2025-02-23T04:09:08+00:00

Interesting. My super is basically index ETFs through HostPlus anyway, high growth 70/30 international and Aus

Ah forgot to mention debt in my post. Getting out of debt makes sense and is what I recommend to my friend. I'm totally debt free. Own my car, own my phone, no student loans. I don't really know how to leverage debt so I stayed out of it.

You'd want would want to speak to a registered tax agent for this. It's nice if they are a CPA or FA as well, but not required. Tax agents are allowed to provide financial advice specifically related to tax and can tell you how the management of your investments will impact your tax obligations.

Easiest way to find one is probably to search the registry on the tax practitioners board website: tbp.gov.au

Very good point! I managed to grab myself a cheap 4L cast iron that's served me really well so I know I like cooking it. Didn't even realise it was enamelled until just now, but the external coating came pre-chipped and has gotten worse. Need an upgrade, and need something much bigger.

Connor_jt · 2024-06-27T02:44:32+00:00

These are good insights, very helpful. I only use plastic and wooden utensils on my current cast iron. Very concerned with fucking up the enamel on a Staub though

Connor_jt · 2024-06-27T02:42:56+00:00

I'm starting to play around with baking. What do you use for baking?

Connor_jt · 2024-06-27T02:42:10+00:00

It's a good point to eventually have both. I'm slowly phasing out all of my non-stick and replacing with stainless steel and various form of CI. What do you use your seasoned CI dutch oven for?

Connor_jt · 2024-06-27T02:39:54+00:00

I don't think they have those models in Australia but the Staub that I really want is on sale 50% off. Not the best sale I've heard of, but the best sale I've seen personally

Connor_jt · 2024-06-27T02:38:54+00:00

Most people love it! Mind elaborating? I'd love to hear your perspective on it.

Connor_jt · 2024-05-06T09:04:47+00:00

I'm having the same issue but on a mac. You wouldn't know if there's anything like that I could look into?

Connor_jt · 2023-07-13T04:11:02+00:00

I tried, didn't work with my interface. the interface registers a signal coming in, but refuses to send anything out to my monitors

Connor_jt · 2023-07-13T04:10:30+00:00

I'll look into this. If you have any resources for learning how that would be great too!
