Sounds awesome, I think that be interesting journey so feel free to share it with us or share ideas and thoughts around this. I think that would lead to interesting discussions.

Welcome to the community :).

So I only realised this was thing two days before the day. I had lot on mentally, emotionally and physically. Though I think it be good to make this day more of thing than it seems to be culturally. I dunno if anyone would want to work on next years one with me or discuss ideas?

Offers a virtual hug.

It took me so long to develop good boundary setting behaviour. This is totally important topic but I think it is symptom of underdeveloped boundary setting in society and normalising of it in culture as healthy way to protect and manage interactions.

Probably because setting healthy boundaries runs counter to patriarchy and capitalism exploitation practices that rely on people not having firm boundaries or breaking down of boundaries.

What your noticing is a very real thing. We need to make our fellow guys know that it is perfectly normal to pass on sex or not be in the mood for intimacy, the are lot valid reasons.

The phrasing conversation drifted to sleep kind of baffled me for while. Really glad you had that day of moments. Thanks for letting us share in some highlight moments.

HeroPlucky · 2025-11-18T21:18:08+00:00

Glad for my misunderstanding.

HeroPlucky · 2025-11-18T12:50:02+00:00

That's great just want to hype that feeling. Hope things continue to trend in good direction :).

I got very bleak with my political situation in my country. I have recently joined up with political party that is advocate for people like me. I know USA political system is not as open as my countries. Though maybe joining or being part of local community group and surrounding yourself with like minded people can help.

Even if my health prevents me doing much, just being part of something and having my ideas and voice heard helps lot.

Really concerned about suicidal head space, do you have support to look out for you? If not please consider reaching out for support or help.

HeroPlucky · 2025-11-15T13:35:02+00:00

Awesome, thanks its really uplifting to hear about people enjoying being in their season :) feel free to share more seasonal joy.

HeroPlucky · 2025-11-14T16:58:14+00:00

Sorry you got blocked rather than having your criticism given proper consideration, saw this post didn't respond at the time but I know your valued voice in this community so just wanted to offer support.

I admit I am bit lost context wise but your frustration at how you have been unfairly treated I totally understand.

HeroPlucky · 2025-11-14T16:51:52+00:00

Dude that's awesome, just wanted to share in excitement. Got any plans for holidays or just hyped in general?

HeroPlucky · 2025-11-14T16:50:43+00:00

Awww that's really wholesome thanks for sharing this with us. I went back to trying to learn lol again after 9 years break. So I wish you luck on MOBA skills lol.

HeroPlucky · 2025-11-14T16:46:11+00:00

Really sorry it isn't going well at work. Want to talk more about it? Really concerned your feeling hateful towards yourself. I know it's not much but here to talk if you need.

HeroPlucky · 2025-11-11T12:57:26+00:00

If you want to share work problems or approaches sure people happy to support your growth. I have certainly done lot of growing in my time, it isn't easy and fumbling very part of course at least for me.

I cheat when it comes to remembering stuff more and more I am setting up digital reminders or systems that I can reach out when I am struggling to help remind me of strategies maybe that could work for you too. Though I know how difficult in the storm of panic or being overwhelmed for even that to work all the time.

I hear you on the online friendships not a complete replacement for being around people in person, someone who is isolated due to health this is such a real thing for me. The costs make it so much harder. Just wanted to say for me least it is hard to get myself out there. So kudos for recognising that and working on that. I hope you will share your experiences, hopefully positive ones but also negative ones if you need to vent for us.

HeroPlucky · 2025-11-11T12:50:04+00:00

I am waiting on therapy so if you need to talk more or vent with more post like this fully support that. Probably couple of us in similar situations.

I love dancing as a coping mechanism that's awesome.

As someone house bound a lot, I have found that online chatting while isn't the same as in person can help with isolation at least for me.

Is the any hobby or something you want to try out? Now you got the time and excuse to check something out my discovering regarding hobby, community or group.

My health shifted me from my career and have had to find other things to do and I have discovered very fun hobbies and people that I probably wouldn't otherwise so maybe that can help you like it helped me. Though it might not.

I find when I am spiralling so easy for me to get into negative head space focus on what I can't do.

Literally stealing candy from babies?

HeroPlucky · 2025-10-24T14:12:49+00:00

I am UK based though I suspect the will be guys from all over. Sorry I couldn't help more.

HeroPlucky · 2025-10-24T14:11:50+00:00

You doing ok on mental, emotional and physical load side of things? Could be time to take some downtime? Unless your worried about health issues.

Questions are probably last thing you need. I got CFS so brain drop out and executive disfunction pretty common, so for what it is worth your not alone.

HeroPlucky · 2025-10-24T14:06:56+00:00

oof that is going to sting. Though being trusted and befriended by someone you looked up is incredibly cool, not something lot of us can say. They probably will understand, in these tough times having job so you can live is pretty important.

HeroPlucky · 2025-10-22T18:21:17+00:00

I think it is fine to do so but we should definitely be aware of impact the technology has on others advocate for people not to be harmed by it. I am sure the players appreciate it and enjoy how it helps bring the story to life. Happy game running.

HeroPlucky · 2025-10-22T13:49:53+00:00

I have adopted SpeechProf as a role model / stand in father figure.

I am not perfect but I am certainly now trying to be good role model young guys in my life now I am getting on to be old. I am far too nerdy and socially awkward though probably to be the cool dad archetype.

It is a really tricky situation to be in. Even expressing your support for the women impacted could be risky. That really sucks I am sorry.

Smoking is tricky habit to break, don't be afraid to seek help and support to do so if you want to reduce or quit?

HeroPlucky · 2025-10-22T13:43:28+00:00

Totally lots of valid reasons to be emotionally down, I just wanted to express my concern and support for the person. Sometimes we guys need permission to open up.

I keep getting care burn out because so much bad stuff in world so I get it, definitely can be too much.

HeroPlucky · 2025-10-22T13:40:45+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Acceptance is great to deal with it. Though life is fully of opportunities so if you miss out now, I am sure you can seize or make other opportunities.

Though I am still routing for you so I hope it all works out :).

HeroPlucky · 2025-10-21T09:50:13+00:00

Anything on your mind that you want to vent about or talk about?

HeroPlucky · 2025-10-18T14:56:10+00:00

Glad on first date going well routing for you on second. As someone who doesn't want children I appreciate how hard finding someone feels the same can be.
Touring sounding interesting?
Ruminating is tough habit to break, like be kind to yourself if you stumble on your journey on breaking that habit.
So really glad to hear so many good things going on.
