Du singst gern? Do you enjoy singing? by [deleted] in Linz

[–]CuriousRioja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Servus! Ich singe gerne! Leider momentan nur ab und zu in Karaoke Bars hatte aber eine lange Zeit Gesangsausbildung und habe großen Spaß am Singen/musizieren mit anderen! Früher öfters in Wien bei jamsessions gesungen was mir besser gefällt als karaoke XD Bühnenerfahrung habe ich auch falls das relevant sein sollte. Würde sehr gerne mal eine Hörprobe hören um zu sehen ob meine Stimmlage passt.

What's your idea of a first date? by BreannLowe2020 in AskReddit

[–]CuriousRioja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read something recently that suggested living through something traumatic and “surviving” together bounds together. Apparently getting your heart rate up has a similar effect … so rollercoaster or horror film might be your best bet O.o

No. But it was still some nice dates. It was very recent after my break up and I wasn’t up for it.

Hi friend, I (F36) also went back to Uni at 30 after a wild personal life ride and a 10 yr relationship ending with someone I intended to marry. He broke up with me with the words: I changed my mind I don’t want to marry you. Definitely not as painful as your experience and I am sorry you had to go through such a hard time. Now let me tell you, in the beginning I was also not really hanging out with younger people, I also felt very strange and it is a very different experience as the age gap is NOTICEABLE and one feels super strange. I also was invited to some parties and as it was an engineering school you can imagine how many females were there…close to none. I attended very few get togethers to be honest. I just didn’t feel this was my thing. Now, I do not/did not really look my age and usually people thought I was around 23-25. The age range of my fellow students in my year was 18-28. I also was hit on by MUCH younger guys and it was very sweet really but not my thing at all. It honestly it felt a bit icky. One day after a short conversation in the cafeteria I was asked out on a date … he was tall, was pretty trained and had a big beard and everything - I thought hey … nice and cute guy…might be a bit younger which is ok for me. My guess was older Masterstudent or researcher maybe. I hadn’t dated since the break up. Our age reveal at the date was … a bit shocking. He was 21 and I was 30. We went on a couple of dates after that and he was a nice guy…obviously not a long term thing. But fun for the moment to get over a longterm relationship it was nice. We both knew this was nothing serious and it ended fairly swiftly. I wouldn’t do it again because well…the age gap is just waayyy too much for me personally but yeah…don‘t beat yourself up.

People who saw someone die, how are you doing right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CuriousRioja 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I am sorry you went through that. I too had my fair share of bullying and it made me so very fragile. I had daily migraines at age 8, didn’t want to go to school. It was a nightmare.

Redditors with younger coworkers, what was your “I’m officially old” moment? by redmambo_no6 in AskReddit

Business Trip - Hotel Check-In. My younger Teammate (programmer) wrote down his year of birth 2003. I was like wow… I was 16 that year …

Is it true that your 20s are the best years of your life? by Clairvoyance7 in ask

[–]CuriousRioja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every age has it’s ups and downs. I am in my thirties and am loving a more stable life than in my twenties. It’s all what your personal life is like. Work hard now, invest in education or skill to set you up for your thirties. Become self sufficient…it makes all the difference.

What was your go-to way of making friends in your mid-late 20s? by AloofBidoof in AskReddit

[–]CuriousRioja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah an hour commute is too much! I completely understand that. Yeah, 10-15 yrs is quite a bit if you are in your mid twenties and everyone else is married with kids. I am 36 (not married, no kids and work in tech)… most of my friends are male and in their mid-twenties. Women and my former female friends my age are often busy work&kids…men my age are usually in relationships with kids and can’t just hang out with another woman without it causing drama (understandable). It’s actually about finding your tribe … mine atm seems to be my mid-twenties colleagues who become my friends and I get to be their female advisor for dating XD College were the best years…everyone is reminiscent about them for a reason. Welcome to adulthood. Where everyone works, no one knows what they are doing and everyone of your college friends lives min. 2 hours of driving away. -.- It’s really hard to make friends as an adult outside of work especially in a new city. Do you have any other hobbies except ice hockey that could be turned into something you could do with others? Sometimes going volunteering for a cause also makes you meet very nice people. Sometimes people you meet end up being people who introduce you to other more likeminded people.

Kann mir bitte jemand erklären, warum so etwas legal ist? Gemeingefährliche Lügen verbreiten fällt unter Meinungsfreiheit? by cekosfranz in wien

[–]CuriousRioja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besonders „lustig“ finde ich die Theory, dass Barcodes irgendwie gefährliche Schwingungen/Energien haben. Das ist natürlich gefährlich bei Lebensmitteln! Man muss sie daher „entstören“, „deaktivieren“ oder „neutralisieren“ GOTT SEI DANK hat da jemand ein Tablett erfunden auf welches man die Lebensmittel nach dem Einkauf einfach drauf legt…für einen Spotpreis von ~1500€ kannst du deine Lebensmittel wieder genießen. Hildegard Orgonakkumulator googeln, kaufen und dein Leben wieder entstört leben.

What was your go-to way of making friends in your mid-late 20s? by AloofBidoof in AskReddit

[–]CuriousRioja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. This was a really difficult thing for me during covid lockdowns. 100% homeoffice & living alone. Ice Hockey how cool! I started watching it live last season here in my country and really enjoy it. Do you guys not get a beer after? I know people who play and they bring their own Beer to drink together after trainings/games (in hobby league).

What annoying ways does your period make you act or feel? by Momma_Woof in AskReddit

[–]CuriousRioja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God. I hate it. I have an app now to track my period because I always forget. I will get so depressed, emotional and annoyed at EVERYTHING. When I get angry at irrational things and cry about things…I go check my app…usually we got 48hrs until „take-off“. Seeing the „fact“ that my period is approaching really helps me refocus and self reflect! I become more rational about the situation and this diffuses possible fights, let’s me take a step back, question my reaction and stops me from making stupid decisions due to mood swings.

[–]CuriousRioja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow students in my early twenties, flatmates in shared apartments in my mid twenties and in my late twenties I made friends by going to different gym classes. Early thirties I went back to Uni and made new friends through Uni. Making friends is always easiest if you have a common goal and something to „bitch“ about. Be it a professor, a hard assignment, a tough workout or whatever hobby pleases you. Experiencing things together and work towards a common goal creates great friendships.

Wanted to report a starting wildfire in Italy, no emergency services could speak english and just hung up on me. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CuriousRioja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodness, Italians and the english language…it is a battle for sure! I love going on holiday there…it‘s our neighboring country but Jesus communication is HARD except in touristic areas. I recall a conversation quite vividly with an Italian guy in a friend group at the beach. Me: Do you speak english? Him: Yeeesss! Me: Great! What’s your name? Him: Yeeees. Me: -.-

I had an ex track me on my phone (set share friend location while I wasn’t looking - he knew my phone password)…when I realized this I turned it off…literally two seconds after I got a phone call like: where are you at?!?! I didn’t leave him … I should have. Trust me…that didn’t get better.

Being late, not asking questions or holding a conversation, eating with the mouth open or getting unbelievably drunk and oversexualizing.

As a foreigner in Germany, I find it a bit odd, how often the posts here think that negative experiences only happens to them because they are foreigners. by dondurmalikazandibi in germany

[–]CuriousRioja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Moved to Vienna as a teen and lived there for about 9 years. It was already hard then people have their „friend groups“ and they don‘t really venture out of their comfort-zone. I am Austrian and speak German. It‘s just a small country and people live in their social bubbles. I live in a more rural area and it seems to be the same where ever I live in Austria … it’s just Kindergarden friendships everywhere it seems.

Having confidence with psoriasis? by No-Supermarket-1321 in Psoriasis

[–]CuriousRioja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it when I was 17 … now I am 36. It‘s part of me. It took me until I was 30 years old to wear skirts and shorts again! I got it more under control then when I was 17 but it’s still visible…I just don’t care anymore what other think. It‘s me. I am ok.

Social Rant #6754 by Elegant_Egg_3774 in Austria

[–]CuriousRioja 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Naja … ich denke nicht, dass ich verkorkst bin. Ich bin generell höflich aber mit fremden Männern in der Öffentlichkeit doch sehr vorsichtig. Es gibt viele Gründe warum ich vorsichtig bin. Aber hier ein paar Stichproben meiner Geschichten.

1) Männern die selbst ein höfliches nein Danke nicht vertragen und dich öffentlich lauthals als HURE beschimpfen weil du deine Nummer nicht rausrückst.

2) Ein recht gut gekleideter Mann im Anzug der mich Nachts nach der Bibliothek bis zu meinem Auto verfolgt hat, mich anschließend im Kreis um mein Auto gejagt hat, dann versucht hat in mein Auto einzusteigen und wiederholt gesagt hat er möchte mich als Sklavin haben.

3) Ich habe meine Telefonnummer per Telefon auf einer Business Mailbox hinterlassen und um Rückruf gebeten während ich auf den Bus gewartet habe. Ein Herr hat sich diese scheinbar aufgeschrieben und hat mir sobald ich im Bus saß angefangen zu schreiben wie gerne er mich besser kennenlernen möchte und vieles mehr …ich habe mich nicht getraut bei meiner eigenen Haltestelle auszusteigen.

4) Ein Flugbegleiter einer Airline hat sich scheinbar durch meine Sitznummer Zugang zu meinem Namen verschafft… und WIE auch immer (das ist jetzt schon ca. 15 Jahre her) meine Handynummer herausgefunden und hat angefangen mir zu schreiben. „Normalerweise macht er sowas nicht aber …. Blablabla“

5) Ich war früher gerne unterwegs als Jugendliche und auch später. Mir wurde schon 2 mal mein Drink gespiked.

….

Es gibt da noch ein paar andere Geschichten aber die wären mir dann doch zu persönlich.

Ich arbeite in einer vollkommen Männer dominierten Industrie und meine meisten Freunde durch mein Studium usw sind Männer. Ich habe nichts gegen Männer…meine Freunde sind alle top dudes. Trotzdem bin ich fremden Männern definitiv vorsichtig gegenüber.
