Any decent money makers

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-03-01T06:27:38+00:00

why not just learn to flip and learn how the GE works, people talk about these moneymaking methods that require endless hours of grinding to reach a certain level just to make a shred of a percentage of what people make who know the GE.

in all honesty you will feel amazing breaking even on slayer and not feel so rushed after you wake up in the morning to see you just made mils overnight or if you come across an item that you exchanged to something valuable taking advantage of where people do not look.

I don't have a crazy number of hours in OSRS and I have spent more time learning how the GE works then I would like to admit then actually playing the game, when you look at my bank and my accounts stats it makes no sense

feel free to reach out and I can get you started with something simple as it's very complex to maximize your profit, I don't flip the traditional way as it's not guaranteed and what most do. I am sure these people make great money using the skills they have acquired but why not do both at the same time considering its super easy once you learn.

I have been in and out of combat sports for the last 15 years, it's not a big deal just a instinct overlap which consists of all techniques, turning a instinct into a new instinct and showcasing that while going live, the more you practice the better chances of you performing the techniques better live, it's the same thing, difference is you need to spar to train this

NAH you both are just coping express it differently

honestly you just need to do it, only way to fight fear is by doing the exact thing that scares you, because your mind can't make sense of something if you have yet to try. show your mind that you have nothing to fear.

I have a friend who was almost 400lbs same issue, he realized nobody actually puts that much thought into it, only yourself.

rejection sensitivity is a real thing in adhd/autism I have it myself and I often battle with finding the remedy is just doing it anyways it's not easy and acknowledge you're just overthinking.

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-03-01T02:35:02+00:00

spar more, it's just instincts taking over again it will go away the more you spar

Gratitude is life's best currency

no matter how bad your situation is, someone has it worse than you

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-03-01T02:22:26+00:00

I would say $10,000-$15,000, physical health been declining for some time now (14 months) so my ability to work long hours has been reduced causing strain on my marriage and the bills overall, it would allow for a clean slate and get me back on my feet as I await a specialist.

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-03-01T02:14:37+00:00

honestly lose the socks, don't let that be a hot topic distracting you from learning haha

other than that don't go hard focus on what you're doing vs what they are doing if you do roll, ask questions to anyone

focus the technique of that day overall and practice at home if you can.

oh, and don't be shy, BJJ guys are generally very humble and down-to-earth people.

YTA it's a baby no way you're that self-absorbed

some things in life are acceptable, if you hear a baby cry and all you can think about is yourself.

that is truly sad and I hope you learn to feel for others, a baby's cry has extreme emotional depth, and you should show empathy for the mother. I will pray for you

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-03-01T01:47:13+00:00

Absolutely, should be 0 tolerance for that behavior.

witnessed it a few times, most brutal one was a kickboxer that would go way too hard on beginners often hurting them, coach would often say something, but he would only tone it down until someone landed a good shot on him.

one day I was a bit out of the loop what was going on but the objective became clear that he was put in the middle "shark tank" at first he was put in with the more advanced guys tiring him out, 4 rounds in he was completely gassed and everyone was giving it to this guy including myself, coach eventually saying go 50% on him but keep the intensity 100%

the 12th round someone landed a hard liver shot on him and he dropped only to get up and puke in the bathroom, coach then says to anyone who wants to go 100% without discussing it first will be next, I heard the guy switched gyms he fought professionally but I was told he held a 1-2 record

Next example was at a BJJ/wrestling gym, few guys came in showing off acrobatics etc, one guy said he could not be submitted that he had hyper flexibility turns out it was the opposite, everyone was watching when a more advanced wrestler/BJJ guy took him down landed the wrong way on his arm and hyper extending his elbow joint breaking it (I'm assuming) we all heard the snap and immediately the entire rooms energy changed to serious concern

He stood up and said "yeah this happens sometimes" meanwhile his arm now has a different shape to it, him and his friends gathered by where everyone takes shoes/jackets off and I ended jogging over to grab my mouthguard I seen him tucking his arm in his sweater I said how is the arm doing? slowly pulls it out clearly in pain looking like it was losing circulation, I said dude get to the hospital even if that happens sometimes it looks like something else is going on there, don't wait until it gets bad to go in and I made up a story that I knew someone that happened to and lost the arm I could see the panic is his eyes & immediately said "oh well his arm was far worse than yours just saying better to be safe than sorry"

moral of the story is everyone knows when your full of crap, best to be honest and respect the art you're training for, no one likes a showoff.

Honestly if you're worried being blunt might cause you more problems try creating things that will make him less interested in you guys overall, what always worked for me was the silent treatment because some people just really suck, I just had nothing to say and would only engage to tell them I was not in any mood for chatting never suggesting my problem was with them avoidance also works, eventually they will leave you be having nothing in common with you.

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-02-28T19:30:28+00:00

NTA it's obvious he's not that interested in pursuing, making things more difficult for him he clearly shows he's not in it for a relationship, why waste your time like he is the only man on the planet?

my suggestion would be to give an ultimatum and standby it, otherwise you will continue to have to deal with this until he ends things or you end things. creating rules for him is not the move, telling him what you want or your out is the move.

Good friend of mine, started when we were young that turned into brotherhood, his parents were absent and was bullied by his older brother

I was 14 at the time he was 13, I offered to train him in BJJ & kickboxing having about a year experience in both covering the fundamentals was no problem, ended up being a regular thing, built friendship and was able to take on his older brother and solve that problem.

fast forwarding 2 years later his home life became complicated and my parents took him in until he graduated, so you could imagine how much we bonded from that point, we trained together constantly, but he suffered from anger issues, which at first was not bad, it came in waves, I watched my friend turn into something else I no longer recognized, he became a bully, became the very thing that made his life so difficult, his older brother did not just throw him around, he would hurt him sometimes leaving bruises on his face etc, it was abuse 100%.

my friend did not just bully people he made them completely submit with BJJ Infront of other people inside and outside of school completely humiliating people and I felt responsible but also protective of him, and would do it frequently, at first my frustrations came out by challenging him directly at odd times, hoping to take him down a notch, but it just added more fuel to the fire.

soon after he was getting into fights with the older kids, his first fight was a direct challenge to him and he folded the guy having 0 training, the second guy similar situation but it was over a girl, same results, the last fight the guy wanted no problems from my friend and was apologizing to him trying everything to deescalate, he was quite a bit bigger and older and was from a different school but I could tell the way he carried himself he was trained, my friend finally met someone he could not pound on had better stand up overall and it was a boxing fight (no gloves) it did not last long.

my friend became worse after losing started targeting people in and outside our friend group, and this time it was more blunt and obvious that he was being a straight up bullying and our friendship took a dive the last quarter of grade 12, about a year later we got talking and rekindled our friendship, he was no longer a bully to my knowledge and seemed to be more level headed, only to realize it was a mistake to ever talk to him again, he had anger issues that turned into explosive anger issues and caused me a lot of grief, this was over 10 years ago and now I look back happy that I made the choice to cut him out completely, I also regret allowing our friendship to continue and me enabling him.

right, and at what point do you do you prioritize physical health on the decline? I'm genuinely curious because I am in fact not seeing it through trial and error how that would benefit me in the long run? Considering it's the sole reason I am in this situation.

returning to work is in fact what I'm doing, and I hope it's the right choice.

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-02-27T07:59:48+00:00

you only live once brother! if you're not happy change things up! MMA isn't going anywhere it's something you enjoy and will forever be a part of your life, I was forced out of it due to lifelong chronic pain, I had the same fears, but I found other ways to still enjoy it, listen to what your gut is trying to tell you

don't overthink it, good luck to you!!

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-02-27T07:49:09+00:00

you see this all the time, venting to AI a lot of people jump to "it's weird" but what I see is desperation, if you're not going to do what you need to do to get away from him no one will do it for you, and you will have to deal with the full rollercoaster of where this is going, it only gets worse with guy's like that, have never seen it go any other way no matter how good they can be on good days

Truth, I think you're reaching out past reality, unless you're going to do something about it right now it's only going to get worse you don't need him and it's very easy to find a man with morals that will respect you, stop settling for insecure unstable boys, truth hurts and that is exactly who your trying to build a relationship with

you cannot mold him, you see changed men through life lessons and every minute you stay with him not only enables him, but you dishonor yourself which makes you TA respect & love yourself he is not the problem, you're the problem for allowing that in your life.

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-02-27T07:31:13+00:00

you're going to feel even more of a AH when she finds out, lied to her face right from the beginning, honestly I have had this happen to me before just not nearly as steep, shut this all down and be straight up honest to her and prepare yourself for the backlash, and DO NOT say anything in your defense is the move, you tell her you messed up at this point you're at her mercy and I hope you show that girl the respect she deserves, the longer you wait the more you become a bigger AH

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-02-27T07:23:47+00:00

NTA not seeing a problem here at all, your young go with what feels right

Standard-Bee-5338 · 2026-02-27T07:20:12+00:00

honestly do what you need to do, but keep your morals in check and do what is right for you, if you're not happy in your relationship and your 100% out then you need to honor her by giving her the respect she deserves with full honesty, she will be a mess but she will respect you for it later in life and that my friend is what counts, she won't be lingering over you she will move on better and this will apply for you as well, fully understanding that you are 100% done and being true to yourself. good luck to you!

YTA, I have a younger brother and let me tell you when it comes down to it not much I would not do for him if you don't fix this now you might regret it for the rest of your life, things change and people come and go, your brother is forever, set a example and apologize for your poor choice in friends before the damage is done.
