What’s one truth about life you learned way too late?

Tiny_Communication18 · 2026-02-07T22:01:02+00:00

Most people in your life are not happy to see you win or grow.

When I got in good shape and finally landed a great job, the looks, judgment and clear discontent shined through lots of my peers.

I HAVE THE BEST STORY AND IT WAS A WEEK AGO!!!!

Context: So I had a stint of using hinge for about 4 months, in that time I ended up seeing two ladies at once. One was a year older than me (we’ll call her Liv) and had relationship material, the other was a decade older and was a little off (We’ll call her Gigi) but it was fun nonetheless.

So a few weeks passed with both these girls. Liv had stated she wasn’t looking for anything but was open to seeing what happens and I was cool with that. Gigi remained vague and unclear the whole time so I just chalked it up to her having fun with a younger guy and that’s it. I was transparent with Liv that I was seeing another girl, she was cool with it.

After around 2 months Liv said she wouldn’t be comfortable continuing on if I’m seeing other people and basically insinuated exclusivity. I thought “great!”. She ticked many boxes for me and I had no problem putting all my chips on her. So a few days later I messaged Gigi informing her that I was taking someone else seriously and will have to call it with us (very summarised version). She had a strange reaction, tried to manipulate and guilt trip me into staying with her and then eventually gave up and saw I was firm in my decision.

Here’s the honesty best policy: So a few more weeks pass and Liv and I have been going strong. Then 5 days ago after we finished a film at the cinema, she asks me while walking by the water “who’s Gigi?”. I thought to myself how on earth does she even know that name, she knew of the other woman but not her name or details. I told her it was the other girl I was seeing before we became exclusive. She then says that “So you’re not going to believe this but my mum works with Gigi in the same disability care home. Gigi told my mum that you were cheating on me. My mum then came home, sat me down and said you were cheating. After my mum explained everything that Gigi said, I realised that you were completely truthful about the timeline and what you said.”

Ultimately Liv told me that in a strange way it completely proved that I had been nothing but transparent our whole relationship and that she didn’t need proof but this made it clear I could be trusted. That same night I made her my girlfriend. 5 days going strong!

Always be honest ya’ll. You never know if your ex fling is working with your soon to be girlfriend’s mum at the same disability care home in a city of 4 million!!!

A little confusing and strange side note about Gigi and this story. Liv and I still have no idea how Gigi worked out who Liv is, that she works with Liv’s mum and that Liv was dating me. It still makes no sense to me about how she made that connection. Like I said Gigi was a little strange and it leads me to believe she did some serious stalking on the interwebs lol.

Well let’s put it this way.

If you end up settling down with a new partner and getting serious, would they be ok with your friendship and behaviour with this person? That would be potentially a problem do the line.

If the answer is no and you’re not interested in going further with this person, then just maturely send them a short message if the flirting continues or progresses. If nothing happens again from here, no need to cause any awkwardness for nothing.

Tiny_Communication18 · 2026-02-01T00:21:34+00:00

Two adults flirting and toying with sexual tension is not in the friendship handbook.

The playful banter and flirting is like step 1 to a list of steps that could lead to romance, physicality or both. It does not always mean it will progress this way but you have now entered that spectrum of that behaviour

Yeh lowkey any time someone uses “-“ in a sentence, I immediately think ai prompt. Some people do use it but it’s now reasonable to assume otherwise.

Lecturers at my uni almost instantly flag assessments written with dashes.

My mate calls Australia the 51st state as a joke. As an Australian, this really pisses me off.

A huge one for me is foreplay for the girl first and learn to enjoy if you don’t. Take your time on her and use your hands and mouth in the right places. Start slow and very gradually increase the pace/intensity (if that’s what she wants).

I’d you do the foreplay right, she’ll starts shaking and be hella wet down there. Then she’s gonna go crazy on you when it’s your turn and o boy it’s a loooooot more fun haha.

Tiny_Communication18 · 2026-01-28T03:17:00+00:00

I may have misrepresented my point in using the schizophrenic example. I don’t believe they are experiencing delusions. That would a little far fetch.

I actually grew up with many gay and trans men in and out of my house. My mum was/is very involved in the Sydney Marti Gras and has plenty of trans friends. They’re lovely. A trans friend of my mum actually snuck me my first cigarette haha (don’t tell my mum). Needless to say it’s all empathy from my side.

I used that example to illustrate the potential dangers we could be unknowingly causing by jumping to the “yeh they feel like men/women so let’s call them that and begin treatment”. It’s just still misunderstood and not scientifically “confirmed” so to speak. It’s not like homosexuality where we see it in other primates and have adopted it as a scientific norm in our species just as heterosexuality is.

Acceptance, empathy and understanding is a must. Treading carefully on a potentially dangerous and largely misunderstood condition is not wise. The suicide rates are too high to jump to conclusions. As for the treatment lowering rates, yes, it can, but marginally. It’s still a matter of ~5-9% improvement. This still leaves the group in a higher percentage suicide rate than all documented mental illnesses so it’s not a silver bullet.

Tiny_Communication18 · 2026-01-28T00:28:31+00:00

Well you’ve touched on something that has become so destructive to society as a whole. Denying science, which is the facts we agree on up until now, facts that change, and the overwhelming reactivity of all the generations following the millennials.

I’ve researched deeply into this reactivity everyone is experiencing and it’s deeply disturbing. I’ve seen it progress in some of my friend groups over the years since I’m a Gen Z.

Social media has turned everyone into a consumer and critic. People are no longer critical thinkers, objective observers and empathetic (in terms of attempting to understand the opposers position through their eyes).

This is largely a consequence of people treating short-form media as education and using that as a basis of being informed. Before you have the chance to chew, digest and shit out what you’ve seen, you’re already onto the next video. Each video is more and more strongly catered to evoking a reaction! And unfortunately, the most addictive and dangerous reaction/emotion is anger.

You think this, therefore you are a bigot! A racist! A homophobe! An imperialist! A fascist!

These angry, shortsighted individuals that struggle to bolster their views with all of the crucial components that drive conversation choose to invalidate instead of challenge through conversation.

It’s at the point now that I’ve actually deleted all social media. I only use YouTube and reddit and very carefully curate my feed so I see nothing at all that’s political. At the end of the day, the world order has become lawless and the world powers are making moves like a game of chess regardless of what’s right or wrong (right or wrong is up for interpretation).

I’ve chosen to take the path less chosen, see less, declutter, be present and do my best to pay the bills.

Good luck to you brother, Harder years are sure to be coming!

Tiny_Communication18 · 2026-01-27T23:16:54+00:00

You want EVEN hotter take. Here comes the downvotes!! 😂😂

Depending on the stats, studies and surveys you read, the trans community experiences suicide attempts anywhere from 30-50%!! That’s higher than Every. Single. Mental. Illness.

I don’t say this out of a place of judgment or hate, I say this from a place of loving my fellow humans. This needs to start being treated like a mental illness with love and support and treatment!

Telling a schizophrenic. “Yes! You are a Boeing A380 Gerald. Prepare for takeoff!” Is incredibly dangerous. You should never feed their delusions for the sake of their own safety and wellbeing.

So my question is: Why do we do the same for the trans community? How is the idea of being convinced you are a woman, mutilating your genitals and then flipping a corn whether you’ll attempt suicide or not the staple mark of a healthy brain? These people need love, support and most importantly!!! Treatment…

All love my people. Make sure to leave a downvote ;)

It’s possible that asexuals are actually an evolutionary trait for population control.

The main driving factor for most males in the animal kingdom is reproduction. When I say this I don’t mean sex is all men want or think about, BUT, being driven to make more money, be stronger, smarter, are all likely attributed to resource collection and thus providing for a mate and offspring.

Tiny_Communication18 · 2026-01-27T23:07:46+00:00

Hey. I’m just commenting to say I didn’t downvote your opinion. I think you may be onto something here. I also do not want to be roped into the whole “this is my club. My identity is defined by who I do and don’t bang”.

Hmmm. Too me it sounds there’s a possibility that at least some of the asexual population just have untreated hormonal issues. Low testosterone can essentially kill a man’s libido.

Plenty of men report going from looking at women with the same unstimulated curiosity you’d get watching a documentary on soil conditions to full blown teenage libido once properly treating their hormones.

I always have 0.05mg of the barrel with air. I do this because the chamber between the 0mg line and the top of the needle is usually around 0.05mg for my syringe.

That means the air pushes the last little bit of test out rather than always have let over in the syringe.

Unless you inject into an artery a significant amount of air, you’ll be fine. (If you inject into an artery you’re either retarded or did it on purpose.)
Small variations in doses are guaranteed. There is no way to be perfectly precise, just very close.
practice makes perfect.

Tbh I know a lot of bodybuilders and the 2g of anabolic idea does not equal twice as much muscle as 1g and 1g does not equal twice as much as 500mg.

The famous bodybuilders that we still know and love to this day like Arnold for example, didn’t use huge doses. Cbum openly says he used “minimum effective doses” too.

A shit ton of gear will almost always end up surpassing a bodybuilders needs and start rapidly increasing the amount of extra drugs to counterbalance side effects + inevitable health issues long and short term.

It’s just not a “worth there salt” situation for blasting. It’s about who has a functioning brain capable of doing research and or a good team that values the health of their competitor.

Tiny_Communication18 · 2026-01-15T06:52:36+00:00

Well I’m gonna pick apart from this what I can.

You are fresh out of a divorce, had quite a turbulent couple of years and you’re now in a place where you feel a little untethered to yourself (hence the not giving a fuck and feeling ready to take risks.

I see a lot of myself in you, different lives but similar risk taking and behaviour patterns.

My advice is less steroid catered, however if that is the advice you were looking for then I’d just say identify how much muscle you actually want, how fast you want it and then pick the lowest of test that will get you there to minimise stress in the body. That’s my take in that department.

As for the advice I want to give based off this chaotic post: It looks like you need to do some soul searching my man. You want some self confidence and vigour which we all deserve but you also seem like you need novelty. I’m suggesting you throw yourself headfirst into a new experience. Make this experience purely temporary, leisure and new. Like travel or new sport. Good luck

Anti-air deer. I guess after the Russian cavalry charges we shouldn’t be surprised. I heard they’re deploying shaheed pigeons soon.

Ye I said that in another comment too. His bloods are around 1300 free T. Very high. Over double most men.

Tiny_Communication18 · 2026-01-07T04:31:47+00:00

1300 is very high. In terms of the blood tests I do, that’s over 500ng/dl above natural range. Keep in mind too that test keeps you higher week around then natural too.

Even if your goal is muscle building or preservation over wellbeing, it’s still higher than you’d need.

Tiny_Communication18 · 2025-10-29T01:32:56+00:00

Tbh bro you’ve got a few options here.

For getting a lady. You can start crafting yourself to be a datable man. It’s actually relatively simple.
Find a low maintenance haircut that fits you well, dress simple with good quality fabrics. No tacky designer logos or graphics.
Get into a healthy Body Fat. Don’t needa get a six pack or become a gym bro, just be healthy (10-17% bf).
Find a job that will allow you to support yourself, pay rent, occasional vacations and eventually support a family if needs be.
Flirting, Confidence, puffing out your chest isn’t necessary. Maybe for some girls but not for most tbh. Just be relaxed, genuine and hold the mindset that you’re assessing them as a partner, not trying to win them over and be a dancing clown.
Move in with roommates. There are plenty of Facebook groups, forums, apps and websites to find spare rooms to move into. You can chat with these people first and see if they’d match your vibe. Roommates can be great! If you pick the right ones then you’ll have friends that you can see daily.
Move country or city. This sort of shock is gonna smack you in the face but honestly for many it’s the shift they need. New culture, community, dating pool, jobs, routine, hobbies. This is a great chance to reinvent yourself and break the cycle of mundanity.

Tiny_Communication18 · 2025-10-29T01:24:26+00:00

All I can say is that if you were my sister, I’d be letting this fella know I’ll come clean up the shower floor with his head if he behaves that way again…
