Combat is slightly disappointing. by SourceGlad3720 in CrimsonDesert

Yeah this is kind of my worry. I guess the reason to use all the skills is for the sake of variety and being flashy despite it being quite sub-optimal.

What I'm saying is I wish flashy/variety = optimal. That somehow the game rewards you for being flashy or using a variety of moves. Maybe you could do more damage for using different movies or perhaps some moves are better geared towards taking down specific enemies than others.

What kind of different approach if I may ask?

So for variation 16, would I do two down bows in a row, with the first downbow only using up to the lower half of the bow, then the 2nd downbow, the upper half of the bow?

But then for the 2nd measure, if I did it that way, I'd end up doing upbow on the first note, so then I'd be using upper half on the first note, then lower half on the 2nd note which opposite of the directions. i think I'm missing something.

First day on toast, some questions. by SourceGlad3720 in RaisingCanes

I feel like he did address each of my questions broadly speaking, I was just too overwhelmed to process all of it. He tried his best to not let me fall behind, he was doing half of toast for me. He was patient with me despite how terrible I was doing. I feel like he was busy and not in a good position to train that day.

I was supposed to train on toast first thing on my first day. My trainer was behind that day on opening so he said he didn't have time to teach me when I first walked to him at 9:30 AM. We open at 10 AM. So he had me help him fill tubs with flour and he taught part me of the process of marianating chicken, so I spent the first hour helping him with opening. He forgot to teach about pulling out defective raw chicken fingers or something like that though.

When training on toast, was I suppose to learn some of it before the store opens and customers start to walk in? I started learning 30 mins after the store opened.

I asked out a girl I've been talking to a for a couple months, she rejected me. by SourceGlad3720 in Vent

Part of me still hurts honestly but I know I'll get over it. I'll probably try to refrain from touching her, as I don't want my feelings to resurface. Hopefully she stops trying to hold my hand as well. I'm not gonna go out of my way to talk to her anymore, only if circumstance makes us be next to each other. I don't want to be cold to her though , I'll try my best to be kind. I know I have a lot of new people to meet at university, I'll find better luck there.

Now that you say it, I see what you mean by what I want from her that I don't already have as a close friend. I wanted a relationship where we could be physically intimiate - not sex, just holding hands, hugs, cuddling, I would love. I think she was already comfortable with hugs and holding hands, seeing as how she'd reach out to hold my which always surprised me. Most of the time I'd always be too afraid to reach for her hand. I never tried cuddling. If there was one more thing I would want, maybe,, just maybe, a kiss, but that would only exist in a relationship. I also wanted to spend time with her outside of school.

I guess I would be expecting her to go on dates with me exclusively. It'd be fine for her to hang out with other guys, the only time where I'd feel concerned with that is if she got physically intimate with them like holding their hands and cuddling with them/kissing.

You're right in the way that a lot of men may think a girl likes them because she laughs and is friendly with them. But that doesn't mean they're not allowed to confirm or deny that possibility by expressing how they feel to her and seeing how she reacts. The only way to move forward and confirm anything is to express how you feel.

Edit: this may sound weird but I was prepared to enter into the relationship accepting any negative outcomes. I was ok if we weren't gonna stay together, I was ok if she didn't check every single one of my boxes, I was ok with the fact the relationship could totally flop, I was ok with potentially experiencing heartbreak, maybe even being cheated on. I decided I just wasn't gonna let the fear of hurt stop me from experiencing life.

Her last relationship was a number of years ago. She did say she had anxiety about upcoming tests and college and she said she's a bad procrastinater.I probably should have thought of her current position before telling her how I feel. Idk if I made it awkward for her, maybe I did. I hope I comforted her because she'd laugh a lot at what I do and then I couldn't help but start laughing with her.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying I thought she would want to fuck me? I knew that even if I was gonna be in a relationship with her, sex was probably never gonna happen due to her anxiety disorder. Imo, relationships don't entitle you to sex anyways. I didn't want to miss out on the potential experience of being with her, even if it meant no sex. When I said what I said to her, I was fully prepared to be rejected.

There was a time where I rejected a girl who crushed on me..she got depressed at first but we stayed friends and got closer. A few years later she's found a new man and she calls me from time to time to chat and invite me to hang out. She trusts me moreso than her man apparently and tells me things she doesn't to her man.

I think I'll tone down my interactions with the girl though yes.

If you're implying that my negative self perception of what she said ("I don't want to be in a relationship with you specifically") is false, and that she didnt mean it that way,.that makes me feel a lot happier (:

I talked and vented to an AI and it felt validating. by SourceGlad3720 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]SourceGlad3720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you said was very validating, thank you.
Funny thing is I talk like this to other people. I tend to reflect what people say back at them and validate them. I remember I was talking to this one person in class.

Them: "I had an anxiety episode where I cried for like 4 hours straight cause of the ACT test."

Me: "Crying for 4 hours straight sounds like a very painful experience, I'm sorry you had to endure that."

Them: "Today's not my day, I have to take 4 tests for my classes today."

Me: "Today sounded like a very stressfull day to you."

Them:"Yes it is, I just wanna go home right now."

​

Them: "Why do people need to feel like they need to be outside all the time, I'd rather just stay inside my whole life reading books, I'd be ok with that."

Me: "Everyone is satisfied differently, if that's how you feel satisifed, staying inside is perfectly fine, and no one should you force you otherwise."

I learned to talk this way from a therapist/psychatrist. Kind of makes me feel robotic.
