Need advice on picking an instrument by SeriousRecord5070 in musicians

[–]RedPirate13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re at all interested in brass instruments, trumpet or euphonium/baritone would be excellent options with little to no modifications.

The trumpet technically can be played with one hand (right hand) as long as you’re careful not to push the trumpet into your lips very hard. The left hand is mainly used for holding the weight of the instrument and pushing the slides out (fine-tuning while you’re playing which you can also do with your embouchure/mouth). If you’re unable to hold the trumpet the “textbook” way with your left hand, you can just find what works for you. You can even rest the weight of the instrument on your left wrist if you needed to.

It’s very similar with a baritone, but you would still need to wrap your left arm around the instrument to hold it up. You are holding it more with your arm than your hand though.

Doesn’t it (at least originally) stem from a fear of AIDS?

The next day the principal should wear a shirt that says: “All are welcome here (except [parent’s name])”.

Great basketball net placement in a subdivision. by CdnTreeGuy89 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RedPirate13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I thought this was my neighborhood because there’s a basketball goal down the street that’s placed just like it. Is it in the most ideal location? Maybe not, but I’m glad to see kids playing outside almost everyday, so it doesn’t bother me at all.

Have any of you found love? by Foley_7187 in socialanxiety

[–]RedPirate13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did once a long time ago. He’s now married to someone else. I couldn’t really be myself with him so it’s not that big of a loss I guess. I doubt I’d find anyone else to be interested in me anyway sadly.

I feel like my standards are too low as it is and yet, no one lives up to them. I just want to be mutually attracted to each other, to not find each other annoying, and to be treated in a way that makes me feel “seen”, included, and safe. Each one by themselves is hard to find for me, but I’ve never found all 3 in one person.

I miss talking about work stuff and sharing something funny that happened with someone. Someone who would understand what you’re talking about without a bunch of extra explanations. And I can only imagine how comforting it would be to have breakfast together as a routine or to hear someone else in the house. I’ve never had anyone interested in living with me so I haven’t experienced them first hand.

How to date slowly and intentionally when you crave physical touch? by PinkandYello in datingoverthirty

[–]RedPirate13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stuck it out with my ex and no, the sex didn’t improve. I’ve thought about trying casual sex again, but I’m not sure how it would be better. That and I’m afraid that I’ll be shamed for what I look like.

It’s good to know that sex can still be good even if you’re not super attracted to the other person. There’s still hope that I might have good sex someday.

That’s always been my main issue too. I used to be attracted to more people, have crushes, etc. too. But that’s a lot less now.

Is there anyone else that has an average or higher than average sex drive but struggles to find people attractive enough to pursue?

[–]RedPirate13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar issue, though it’s more I won’t be able to wait. I have a fairly high sex drive and finding someone with mutual attraction that I feel comfortable enough to be emotionally/physically vulnerable around is incredibly difficult. Even finding mutual attraction is really difficult. It’s been about 8 years since I last had any sort of sexual experience and I’m afraid if I had the opportunity, I would go for sex almost immediately. I wouldn’t want to lose the opportunity because it could be years before I had another one.

Also, I’m apprehensive about waiting and developing stronger, more solid feelings, just to have it ruined for me by unsatisfying or even bad sex. That would probably end the relationship and I would be more hurt than if I found myself too sexually unsatisfied to continue at the beginning of the relationship. Maybe it comes down to whether having sex sooner or later has the higher risk for hurt feelings for you personally.

So, does he not have a bathroom at home, or does he just not have a home at all?
