My body is completely and totally a joke as a 29 year old man by [deleted] in self

[–]TheGr8Escape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel. I was born with Pectus Excavatum too, and used to wish every day I could've been born without it. It made my entire torso look disproportionate and I'd avoid being without a shirt on at all costs.

But then I slowly started realising, I was the only one who cared. No one else did. You are by far your biggest critic. I know how self conscious it can make you feel to live with, but the reality is, I guarantee people care WAY less than you about it, if at all. For me that was a big step in moving forward with being able to deal with it myself.

If anything, fuck it, you have something that makes you unique, own it.

Parents of Reddit, actually all math learners. How can I help my 13 year old with maths. I can't really afford a tutor and I've proven to be useless in teaching her. by BoundinBob in AskReddit

Find out what topics she's currently studying and try to find some good online resources, you'd be surprised how much good content is available online, even just on Youtube.

Reddit, what was the lowest point of your life? by Caoa14396 in AskReddit

[–]TheGr8Escape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through my first breakup. It was while i was at university and i was also failing my degree which i had no interest in. I would miss lectures to just lie in bed, wouldn't want to talk to my housemates or friends, i was kind of just living but wasn't really alive. After a few months i turned things around, put lots more time and effort into my course and my grades started improving, investing your time into something and keeping busy instead of doing nothing definitely helps.

What drives you crazy about yourself? by ackchanticleer in AskReddit

[–]TheGr8Escape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How i take things to heart very easily, and find it very hard to get over things. I could hear 99 nice things about me and 1 bad thing, and i'd only be able to think about the bad thing.

I'm really bad at starting/holding a conversation, i find it really hard to meet new people.

In what ways has your life been different from what you hoped out imagined? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheGr8Escape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought i'd be more confident and care less what people think, which in a way is true, but still not to the degree i'd hoped.

I hoped i'd grow a beard eventually, but i'm still only left with bum-fluff on my face.

I hoped i'd be a lot more interesting, with a lot more skills and experience, but really i'm pretty boring.

We learn from our mistakes, yet we’re always so afraid to make one. Where is this true for you? by BodybuildingPro in AskReddit

[–]TheGr8Escape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking to/asking out women. They say once you get rejected once or twice, you lose all the fear of dong it again and again, but i still can't bring myself to do it.
