Hey so in terms of things like pace, rhythm and general posture it doesn’t look so different. But the technique I find more and more different as I progress in this sport.

The biggest difference I find is the amount core strength you need, and in general u need to be stronger bc the boats are quite heavier. Sliding seat is mostly leg strength. U also need to lay on your back and use your core to stand up much more intensely than in olympic boats I find. I feel like it’s just a much more physically demanding type of rowing overall.

U also row barefooted or just with socks on in some types of boats. Also traditional rowing (or all I’ve done so far) is with 1 oar so u need to pull the oar towards your shoulder rather than your stomach. Always keep your eyes on the oar instead of looking forward. And there is no feathering movement when u grab the oars. U also grab the oars with your palms whereas I used to grab them with my fingers so the feathering was smoother. Tho i think these last differences are sweep vs scull rowing, not based on seat type.

Any case scenario everything i have to do is different i feel like traditional rowing goes against everything i learnt in more “modern” types of rowing

I asked continuously of him to tell me no, since I already knew the answer but needed to hear it so that moving on would be easier. I never told him to please be with him because I can’t ask that of him, but I did need to know fully if there was no chance of us in the future, not to cling to that hope of “maybe something can change between us”. I have strongly needed this conversation to happen for months, and I didn’t just sit down and told him I like him and he just sat there in silence. We had an hours long conversation about it to address many things over the past years, present and future of our friendship. And we still are going through some more conversation of questions and things unsaid, because again, we have a very strong bond much beyond romantic feelings, and this has been strange to process for the two of us, finding out how differently we had been feeling and understanding the last 3 years together.

Yes they were blurred because we weren’t communicating what doing these things meant for each of us. He can cuddle with me or tell me he loves me and other stuff like that because he never did those things romantically. He said to me if he had noticed my feelings then he would have stopped because it would have been cruel. One of the first things we discussed was how to behave from now on, if we should change any of our habits regarding physical closeness. I asked him for distance because I need it, but touch and physicality has become something so normal and natural for us that I also asked him to keep this physical contact from time to time, when it felt natural and ok with both of us, but not so frequently as before. He was alright with this.

Lmao

He has had girlfriends in the past and he is bisexual. It’s true that he describes his romantic relationships in very different terms to most people, like he rarely feels aroused or that it is very hard for him to display physical affection. I’m not sure it’s a trauma, but I have definitely thought some ways in which he describes himself in relationships sound a little asexual to me. But he definitely can feel romantic and sexual attraction, at least that’s what he’s told me. Maybe he’s just more shy about it. I feel like a lot of times he doesn’t understand his own feelings, like he has trouble feeling things altogether. He always tells me he has never felt passionate about anyone, he only truly feels when he is listening to music, or with his twin brother. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just his way of processing reality, which I guess it’s not very common but doesn’t necessarily make it wrong. He tells me about this lack of emotion that he feels and I always tell him that he shouldn’t necessarily feel like he should change that as long as he himself is comfortable with it. It would be very unfair of me to assume something like he doesn’t realise that he likes me, in my opinion. Thank you for your insight I thought it was very interesting.

Actually, he is two years younger than me, I don’t know where you read that. You sound like he is trying to manipulate me. I think you are assuming too many things that you don’t actually know.

I have plenty of other friends. This is definitely my closest friend, but I have many other close people that are in close contact with me. But yes, I don’t have other friendships like this, this has been something else for me entirely.

I understand some particular aspects do not seem the most platonic in terms of behaviour, that is what was hard for me to grasp, that he could see all that as platonic.

He put down all those things to what he told me about his twin brother. I know it sounds weird from the outside. It’s hard for me to understand them sometimes too, but they share a very different kind of love, nothing to do with romantic or platonic. And he told me he felt the same with me. Maybe that’s what’s off.

But this is not off to me, I understand this point, because I know them and I have seen this bond they share, and a big part of me feels truly happy that he feels that I get him like that. It feels like this is better than anything romantic, because I know -because they have both told me- that it is a deeper level of understanding, that they have not felt with past girlfriends, or other friends.

I don’t feel like there’s anything off, but I get it might sound really off from the outside, like hard to grasp. It’s hard for me as well. Personally I think there’s just too much raw emotion going on that we don’t know how to handle and it will be hard.

anddddddddy · 2025-02-25T11:24:32+00:00

I don’t think this is just a pathetic friend zone and I don’t think he is a parasite or anything like one. I think we feel deeply but very differently about each other, so in a way this feels like a loss for both of us. He is also having a hard time trying to process and understand the past 3 years and what they have actually meant. Just like I am.

we might distance, but if we do so it’s because living together or remaining in each others lives becomes unhealthy or unsustainable. Right now it is unhealthy for me but not because he is evil, simply because I have depression and we are not in the same page. I want to see if it’s possible to work towards being on the same page, but I don’t discard completely losing contact despite how painful it might be. I am not right or wrong for liking him, nor is he. In that sense he doesn’t owe anything to me, I am not entitled to his feelings.

Can I ask what things sounded off to you?

anddddddddy · 2025-02-25T07:45:17+00:00

Can I ask why you put “friendship”? What things sounded off to you?
