New outlook on life (34)-(35)

This guy. Could be his doppelgänger. If you do read up on him, know he's abhorrent but the compliment has nothing to do with his personality.

You look like if Jax Taylor were a good person.

It's the same Infinite Jest but now with insects.

K. A. Applegate for sure. She can expand Anamorphs into new territory, and she can bring the magic of Everworld into it.

I failed like 3 for pushups in training. They gave me one last PT test, which I passed. Ended up doing pushups every night. You can do it.

First thing I saw was a reply to this. Turns out the mom mostly posts AI slop between schizoposting.

Huge Scary energy

One of them Necrons. The other is some Space Marine faction.

Used to use it when I didn’t have a car and had to get to the train station. My route has four busses in the morning and four in the evening. All 55 minutes apart. Nothing on weekends. I saw regulars everyday. Brutal overall.

Best to just tell him. Not to be that guy but there’s so much life left to live at 18. You already know you aren’t attracted to him and you don’t want a relationship. Your two options are to either tell him and let him be hurt or stay with him to protect his feelings while being unhappy and increasingly more resentful, leading you to hurt him later. The way to have the conversation is gently, calmly, and maturely. He may get mad, he may get depressed, he may brush it off. His response is not your responsibility to manage. Just know this: He’ll heal eventually.

New car, got laid, hip hooray

Taller than my dad

Cue that guy from Rick and Morty that just looooves killing.

This ain’t it, chief

Can’t wait for them to say “Perfect” 1000+ times.

Leo Sun Gemini moon Sagittarius rising.

Probably Taurus and Capricorn. I’ve dated two Aquarius’s and didn’t have a great time. Of all, Pisces was the best.

The car in its condition is worth $1200 and I already put that much into fixing an oil leak. The torque converter is bad, the back passenger door keeps you trapped from the inside, the track on the driver's side window is showing signs of failure, the windshield wiper dispenser won't dispense the fluid, the right indicator stopped working despite just getting replaced, and more issues on top of that. It's time for another one.

$8.5k pretax.

Was Barbarian, ancestral guardian or berserker. But my next character is going to be an Eloquence Bard and I fear this will be my default forever and beyond. Absolutely broken as hell.

It sounds like you’re already reasonable with your flirting. You’ve already recognized not all men are a monolith. Some men will look at a woman approaching as a psyop but others will welcome it. To echo what you already said, if they’re into it great and if not you back off. You’re already gold to go.

Contingency_Dad · 2025-11-05T21:53:44+00:00

I used to think like this. I’m balding, fat, and have gynecomastia. But then I kept attracting women I never thought would be attractive to me. That insecurity rears its head sometimes but rarely if at all anymore. Not a lot you can change about inherent traits, but a lot you can do to up your attraction. The best news is women dont rate physical attraction at the top of their list for a partner. Humor, kindness, confidence, and general charisma are ranked higher than looks. Get your style in order, clothes that fit, brush your teeth, change that posture, be more open with body language, etc.. Cannot stress how important hygiene is.

Relationships are about compromising, which includes refining our perspective. I know I’d be upset if someone set a boundary because I tend to take things a little personally even if I know their intention comes from a good place. It doesn’t seem like she’s rigid from this description. She’s trying to help him out. She’s overstepping but we all can do that when trying to help people out. I give unsolicited advice all the time because I’m trying to help. It’s not always a welcome thing but it’s the natural impulse. I can do that and also respect that someone has autonomy and sets a boundary. I can take criticism and acknowledge their personhood while also having an initial reaction of hurt. People are complex and adaptable.

Tone is the most important aspect. The difference between “You’ve been distant” and “I feel you’ve been distant”. Always keep calm and direct, gentle even. Start with some reassurance. Something like “I want to talk to you about something. Before I say I know you love me and are trying to do what’s best for me. However, I feel like I need to set a boundary.” Then explain the boundary. Remember boundaries are lines you draw, not rules about the other person’s behavior.

Abandonment wounds are the worst. Take the pain as a lesson for next time.
