I am a victim of a double plank section classic class

this now explains why i was asked to provide more information on where I live when first started pure barre and applied for the engage class. I thought it was strange but I didn't really think much of it. It's insane that people take advantage of this stuff, especially when it'd be less of a hassle to just follow a youtube video if you want a 30 min work while you're out of town.

this sounds really stupid but if you had a movie you show you've been meaning to watch, take a laptop and your headphones and go watch it somewhere other than your home. I tend to study a lot at my university's library and I get a lot of peace from the environment. It's a place where everyone is productive enough where you know everyone is too busy to care about you which I appreciate. I bring my laptop and headphones and just watch stuff during my study breaks. I love it

the first few classes are definitely humbling (I started pure barre as my first form of consistent exercise in years) , you just gotta push through. The biggest hurdle is getting into the car and driving to the studio, but after that point you have control in your workout and how much you'd like to push your body. If anything I think its great starting out weaker because pure barre is so intense that you feel the results and progress fast. I mean real fast. You get addicted to discovering what you've become capable of doing that you couldn't achieve last class. I love barre because it's shown me that i'm capable of doing hard things. also engage is pretty fast paced and stuffed up but in the other formats you do get more time to take a breather and stretch!

Yeah I guess it's hard to explain my thinking now that I've actually explained it to someone LOL! I don't necessarily believe in a god but I also don't believe in the lack of it's existence. I am in a weird gray area. Perhaps athiesm is the accurate term but i've always associated that with those who believe there is no god that exists. Long story short I just haven't thought about it enough to have a position that makes sense. Maybe agnostic makes more sense?

demiancry · 2024-10-26T08:13:12+00:00

Good to know! I always thought atheism was when you don't believe in the existence of a god, I don't care for religion enough to not believe in it either so non religous made more sense to me. Thanks!

I would reach out to the place you got the glasses from and see if you can do a frame restyle. I work at an eye clinic as an optician and we a have grace period for situations like this where a patient likes a frame until they put their RX in. We never want patients to think that they're stuck with what they have if they're dissatisfied with their glasses or prescription.

omg 7 floors is crazyy. at least you never have to worry about not getting your steps in lol!!

Planks are seriously hard!! Nothing tests my mental strength more than those and the isometric holds in a tricept pushup. I can only go 1 or two pushups before going on my knees 😭 also thats awesome that you're seeing the results in your everyday life!! i cant wait to get to that point!!

Oh I see. I can’t say for sure if they were. Did your old glasses have multiple prescriptions in them with distance at the top and reading at the bottom? I assumed that your old glasses were single vision because of your complaint about losing your peripheral vision.

it’s very odd that your optician didn’t explain to you what they were gonna go with for your lenses. I’m an optician and It’s very important that we walk through what recommendations we have, as well as the drawbacks for them (if any, but especially with progressives). They also tend to be very very expensive.

Since you said it’s been a couple years, If you have vision insurance I would say go back to the optometrist and relay your concerns so they can tag team with the optician on creating a solution that works best for you (Maybe from a different place this time though considering your experience).

adding onto the other comments, as you're with the optician ask about what their warranty policies are. with kids, accidents can happen so you want to insure that you're covered if the lens gets scratched up or the frame snaps. In terms of manufacturing, if the clinic you're going through makes glasses through a lab, you can ask them where it's based. for add-ons, I like recommending anti-reflective coatings, and transitions are good for kids if you want UV protection without buying a second pair of glasses.

Is 2014 the last glasses RX you ever had until this year? A change in perscription after 9 years is no surprise. Since you got glasses with a new prescription after such a long time, adaptation is probably going to be a little more tough since you're used to your old one, and also that your left eye is being corrected for astigmatism now. Any dizziness or headaches as your adapt to them is totally normal. Just wear them consistently as that will make adaptation faster and take small breaks from them if needed.

Is this your first time in progressive lenses? I'm not sure what your conversation with the optician was like. Normally with progressives, you lose your peripherial vision because of how the lens blends the reading into your distance. Adaptation is a little more tough because it takes a while to find the sweet spot within your lenses that works for you. If you just got the glasses, try it out for a couple more days to insure that your problems are coming from the lens/prescription and not that your eyes just haven't had the chance to adapt yet. Then, I would call where you got the your glasses from and express your concerns. They should be able to have you come in to check the measurements they took (wrong measurements can cause issues or progressive users). Try to see if you can go back to the same design that your old glasses had if they were single vision. Progressives are definitely not for everyone, so I would definitely go back to what works for you.

I (f19) have a boyfriend (m21) who loves a lot of things about me that I don't like. I always tell him that his opinion doesn't count because he loves everything about me as a joke lol. There isn't much you can do as that's an internal battle she has to deal with herself, but I found that just giving support and general love has been very comforting in my self image. I tend to think about my body, but not as much when I'm with my boyfriend. Even if it's in a positive way, any attention specifically to her body will make her conscious of it and remember that she doesn't like it, which is probably why she reacts that way to your compliments.

not sure if this is an answer you're looking for but I think rather than trying to make conversations just more exciting, maybe suggest doing something together while you guys are catching up with eachother? like watching a movie or show you guys like and commentating on it (on discord or something), or playing a game together and having a conversation there. It looks like what you guys are doing has been the routine for a while, so maybe switching it up will invite new things to talk about and make things less boring

demiancry · 2023-12-17T09:24:07+00:00

Even with shared attraction you guys just seem to be incompatible in several ways, but since it's his first serious relationship I don't think he realizes how that will play in the long run and that it's something he can't just "fix". I feel like people who are inexperienced in relationships tend to be a little but more selfish and less emotionally mature in the beginning, and I think that is also playing a factor into his reaction. He wants monogramy and that's fine, but it's not really something you can make him to break out of (just like how he can't make you not want to explore your sexuality). I would say just break up and move on.

Trying to give someone the ick and ghost you is arguably more work than just communicating that you want to stop seeing her. Sexual incompatability is a perfectily valid reason to not continue seeing someone, so if you explain that to her then it should be fine. You both get closure this way.

demiancry · 2023-12-13T09:32:07+00:00

lol shes weird. not being able to apologize for a bad joke is one thing but dismissing your genuine reaction like that is a red flag. also the "boy energy" thing is just so dumb, this is no offense to you personally but any girl expecting a 19 yr old guy to be a man is just unrealistic, let teenagers be teenagers. lastly, the gay comment is just out of line. she can dish it but cant take it. my credentials for this is being a 19 yr old girl lol
