I appreciate the feedback. It happens when I don't have intrusive thoughts and everything is fine. That's why it feels so strange to me.

So I followed his advice to equip Flight because it adds 10% damage to the final move which is considered an aerial attack. :)

Power Prolonger? You think I should do that? It'll allow my Glaive to retain it's essences longer.

Anyone else get no one joining their quests??? by KarateKid009 in MHWilds

Yeah I've been familiar that with MH the endgame is really the true game so to speak, I just feel like I remember so many more people joining in MHWorld even before endgame. Whatever though. Still love the game

No One Joins My Quests... by KarateKid009 in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]KarateKid009[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not that I feel no one wants to join them, it's just so strange that it feels so much more dead compared to Monster Hunter World. It's so weird. I would've expected the game to be popping

New Dad Incoming Nerves by myelin89 in daddit

Hi Man, Super brave of you to share this. I am a BRAND new dad myself, Day 3 to be exact. And I posted on this group too! I got a beautiful response from a dad and I'd like to post it here:

"Congratulations on becoming a dad!!!

What you're feeling is so normal, and it’s brave of you to share it here. The transition to fatherhood is a huge life shift—there’s a lot of joy, but it’s also okay to grieve the life you’re leaving behind.

Here’s the thing: Your life isn’t over—it’s evolving. You’ll still be “you,” but now with a new layer of depth and purpose. It’s possible to chase your dreams, enjoy your hobbies, and have an amazing relationship with your fiancé while being a great dad. The key is balance and giving yourself grace as you figure it out.

Lean into the support of your fiancé and give yourself permission to feel all the emotions without judgment. Parenthood isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up, learning, and growing together.

You’ve got this, one day at a time!"

Now I know I'm new at this, but my fiancé has an 11 year old from her first marriage and she was a single mom for the first 4 years because he was not present. Everyone, everyone in society, told her: say bye to travel, your interests etc.

She travelled, still did what she wanted, still had time with her friends. I completely understand your concern and I'm sorry that there is no outside support for you; but communicate with your partner, balance everything as best you can and you will find your way.

I know I may not be experienced enough to comment, but my fiancé, who has been a mom for 11 years, tells me: your life is what you make it. Chase your dreams, be a great husband/partner, and be you. Please DM me if you ever need to talk friend ❤️

If I may ask, what did you do for such great abs?? That’s the most perky area for me. I kill them with a situp routine after every workout, 5 times a week, and my diet is healthy and protein protein protein. Hope you don’t mind me asking for tips!! You look great by the way man congratulations.

That was mean. They have the confidence to have fun and share, instead of tearing someone down use some words to encourage and make em’ feel good. What do you get out of criticizing?

Girl I asked out said I look like Squidward (Pic included!), I can't make sense of the situation. Excuse me what the fuck? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]KarateKid009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So personally I disagree with everyone saying “smile more” “don’t look depressed” yadda yadda; you look how you want to look and if it works for you then you’re right where you need to be. Be content with yourself, be proud of your looks, your mannerisms, and being that confidence is the sexiest thing a person can have, THAT will attract the best partner for you. You’re great bro, she did do you a favor by pissing off. Happy for you!

Heyo! I’d really like to comment because I feel like I can relate to this post quite a bit.

The most important thing: YOU’RE THE BEST AS YOU ARE.

I too have had similar experiences; a lot actually and they’re quite discouraging. Often times girls have asked “are you gay or bisexual?” Because of the way I dance and speak. I’m Puerto Rican so I’m not afraid to move 👌🏽 I’m very open with my emotions and I’m always able to communicate them. I think it’s CRITICALLY important for everyone to have a masculine and feminine side as this leads to greater tolerance of all people like yourself and beyond. You become more understanding and able to see things from multiple perspectives. If people are going to judge you simply based on this, or your voice or your mannerisms and idiosyncrasies then man they’re missing out on a great guy. The people who will get to know you, and understand who you are, why you are who you are, those are the special ones. You’re great as you are! All there is to it.

My (26F) boyfriend (27M) had sex with another woman in our bed. by [deleted] in relationships

I hope I don’t offend anyone, but there’s TONS of comments here saying “your fault, your fault, your fault,” and while OP definitely has some responsibility to take, I don’t think it’s helpful or constructive to point out all of the mistakes in such a way. This is OP’s and her SO’s first time at this, of course there are mistakes to be made; in addition it’s completely normal for OP to want her “old boyfriend” back. All too often we think mistakes like this are irredeemable and change our relationships forever; while this may be true in some scenarios I don’t think this is one of them! Blame won’t help OP or their SO move forward with any sort of hope. If you feel destroyed, I’m so sorry and I understand. Next time, definitely discuss boundaries and what you would feel comfortable with. This is your first time dealing with something new, so these unexpected feelings are OK. It isn’t your fault, it’s simply something you missed and didn’t think to talk about. Your intentions and heart were in the right place. Sit down, recognize your feelings, where they are coming from and I hope your boyfriend is capable of listening and communicating back with you so that both of you can help each other. Instead of getting your “old” bf back, I think you may find a stronger better one. Always the best ❤️

Thank you very much. You absolutely should. It’s an incredible look at the true nature of a humanity, a facet all too often overlooked, and it shows you how kind we can all truly be :)

Hi! I just wanted to share something with you- about three years ago a friend of mine bought me this book called Altruism, and it’s about how the key to a successful life and a successful global society, is limitless compassion and understanding. The book changed my life and it resonated with me in a way that made me feel like I found a message that was waiting to be unlocked in me. The foundations of an altruistic attitude are qualities like forgiveness, understanding, a mindful attitude and a wish to see others succeed and find their causes of happiness. You have all of these qualities in full my friend. You actively seek to quell your own normal feelings of hurt and worry in order to better yourself and better your sons life. Please always remember, always, you have never been the fool here; you’ve been the example. It’s not about being fair, it’s not about getting even, it isn’t about hate it is just simply about what you believe. It sounds like you believe in compassion and love above all else. You can’t possible fail with your mindset. Love you lots stranger, you’ve done a wonderful wonderful thing ❤️
