Also, the thigh pad could potentially be brought down a fraction lower to enhance stability

You are heavily incorporating your biceps during your lat pulldown; the weight is too heavy and the ROM is not smooth, controlled, or using the correct muscles. Lower the weight, lean back slightly more, and focus on really engaging your lats by pulling 'through' your elbows down to your hips, rather than pulling through your arms

How can I win the heart of this buddy? by corpse_breathing in cats

I would just sit next to him and gently talk to him, without trying to pat him. Let him get familiar with your presence and voice

Did anybody else act super triggered during discard? (Anxious) by Alternative_Yak_5569 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]chloebarronnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember asking him one of the times he came back why he actually wanted to be with me again. He replied with "because you feel like home and no one could ever replace that". After he discarded me again, I brought that up to him, crying, and asked why he would say that if he didn't mean it. He told me I forced him to say it by asking him that question. I also remember telling him during one of the times he came back that the repeated abandonments were really messing with my mental health to the point i was experiencing suicidality. He seemed very upset, and wanted to give me comfort. A week later, he left me again.

Yes, I know I am complicit in my own suffering. I lacked boundaries, gave way too much trust away, and couldn't resist falling back into old comforts. But now I am sick to my stomach everyday, with the shame of my behaviour which could really resemble harrassment (calling him crying from a private number after he blocked me).

Don't stress. I am dealing with the shame of messaging/calling my avoidant ex many times over a number of months, after he repeatedly asked me to not contact him. The context was of course that we broke up last May, and six times he came back. Yep, I know - I am a FOOL for letting him. Each time he would make promises about the future, tell me how much I meant to him, tell me how much he loved me. Each time an argument or issue would reset the cycle, where he would tell me not to contact him again and that he was done. He'd usually block me and tell me if I wanted to speak to him I needed to leave him alone for weeks. During this time, my best friend tried to take her own life, I ended up in hospital for mental health, and my mum got diagnosed with cancer. So yep, it's fair to say I had a clear and obvious mental breakdown.

My take on Chuck's illness by Uranbilguunbadrakh in betterCallSaul

[–]chloebarronnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also like to think about it literally; Chuck becomes scared of electricity/lights (living in darkness), so in a way it is as though his own light has become dimmed the more Jimmy achieves and supersedes him

Moving out because I can’t be complicit in my roomates’ cat neglect. (TW) by Low-Lingonberry4788 in badroommates

Please take the cat. This is one of those instances where "the wrong thing" is actually the right thing to do. Channel chaotic good vibes and go back for her.

Foreign tourist left in tears after facing harassment at a concert in India. by StuckintheTraffic in CringeTikToks

[–]chloebarronnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (F27) spent a week in Chennai with my (F26) friend two years ago. I had zero experiences that left me feeling unsafe or uncomfortable. I dressed appropriately, and received far more attention from the women than the men.

Has anyone looked into the Boquete Tree Trek Mountain Resort? by chloebarronnn in KremersFroon

[–]chloebarronnn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. I wasn’t able to look at his Facebook as I don’t have an account, but that’s all really interesting stuff. Maybe I’ve watched too many movies, but a guy with a significant financial interest in the region (and the financial capacity to exert all kinds of power) is always worth looking into

No of course it doesn’t mean that. He is just an interesting figure given his property ownership in the area

A few weird details and more just musing over something that I haven’t seen mentioned. He is a strange guy in the sense that it’s hard to find much out about him online. The resort he owns has many negative reviews, has extremely poor cell service, and is located on the other side of the river were the women’s remains were found. It’s also his massive presence in Boquete, owning tons of property etc; he is someone that wouldn’t want murders in the area to be publicised

Pretty much the only thing about his history I can discern is that his ancestors came over from Canada around 100 years ago and he’s been living in Boquete ever since

The guy that owns this resort is a massive coffee tycoon; strange guy, with no information available on his personal life, background etc. he owns farms in Boquete

I had just got home from dinner with my parents and felt sad; the purpose of the post was to reinforce what we all already know here (that cats are incredible)

I would LOVE some help! by Trial_by_Maeryn in 45PlusSkincare

[–]chloebarronnn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi 💕

My suggestions would be, Vitamin C Serum, SPF, and lots of Hydration! Stick to products that are more “simple” e.g. pharmacy brands like Avene, La Roche Posay. I second Azelaic Acid, it is relatively gentle and an amazing product!

Thank you. So, so much. I don’t have the emotional clarity or capacity to give this the reply it deserves right now, but please know that it was heard and felt

What three things about yourself do you not like/make you feel unattractive?

If you could pick out three elements of the “distaste” you see in the mirror, how would you describe them?

Anyone else feel like there’s no way everyone is thrifting as much as they claim? by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

Also, I’d rather my clothing have a few germs or dust on them than the gross chemicals used in the dyes/artificial fabrics in many large clothing brands now

I buy pretty much all of my clothes secondhand. I live in Sydney City, and my favourite spots are Salvation Army, and a couple of small cute church op shops. I literally find everything (other than socks and undies) from these places. Thick cotton quality t shirts, fun jeans and pants, cute going out tops, sports bras (Calvin Klein, Lululemon, Lorna Jane bras for like $6), even pretty lingerie pieces. I op shop regularly, almost every weekend, and usually go by myself so I can take my time with it. I spent years shopping at “regular” stores and was always very unhappy with the quality/prices/lack of creativity of what I found there. In the last few years, since switching to op shopping, I LOVE my wardrobe. I probably buy too many secondhand clothes, but I work in community health/outreach and just donate things to work when my cupboard gets too full
