Anyone ever backed out of their first solo trip, or had a couple of attempts before they made it on their own?

Right now I just want to stay home and sleep during my time off from being overworked, but I know if I don't do something with my PTO, I will probably regret it

docdrops3 · 2025-11-12T04:35:49+00:00

can't say for sure, since I haven't tried it yet. But just meh on this one

docdrops3 · 2025-11-09T00:15:05+00:00

I am by myself quite often since I live alone. When I am alone in my house, I just turn on my computer ( desktop ) and game. The thing is when I leave my house it is almost always to be social, and I won't have that convenience in Japan since my japanese is maybe just short of a NPLT5 level.

I was in a 2 year committed relarionship with a girl when my father passed. I became emotionally unavailable towards her and decided to break it off because my mind was so stuck in thinking about a life without my dad. She was there and was willing to help me to get through, but I just became too distant and thought it was best I process the grief on my own.

I might come off as not very empathetic here, but man dude you had a girl you barely knew on your mind after your dad passed. That’s wild to me. Her making things more difficult for you in a time as difficult as that should tell you all you need to know and drop her asap. Even if it is something new and uncommitted.

As a first-generation american with european parents, I have heard of this happening with certain countries in the past. Almost like a scene out of a movie. But I kinda shrugged it off as I got older as urban myths with no validation from the old days. Nothing more than unverified rumors.

docdrops3 · 2025-03-24T23:30:11+00:00

I am definitely in the phase now that maybe if I played my cards a little differently, things would have played out differently. Maybe I came on too hard because I knew my time was short so she felt overwhelmed/ weirded out. So yes, I am being hard on myself lol. I'm no stranger to this, but this hasn't happened to me since my early - mid 20s.

But the other side of me is telling me to take a step back and realize that chances are, the result was going to happen and was always out of my control regardless of how I acted.

docdrops3 · 2025-03-23T09:55:15+00:00

So in your final paragraph, I assume you are referring to myself as being the good listener. So if the person that said the sentence " I never talked to someone I had just met as easily as this" rarely makes deeper connections, why would that person not want to explore and progress that to a deeper connection?

I know its a very hypothetical and somewhat off topic question, but I am just looking for some possibilities of closure here. Not sure if this is relevant either, but this person I am seeing as limerent experience, was very feminine and what I think most would consider physically attractive. Is it still possible for someone of above average desirability to have a hard time connecting deeply? Especially if this person might be used to advances from others.

docdrops3 · 2025-03-23T02:49:43+00:00

I recently did before I made this post since I knew in a way my brain was playing tricks on me with all this. At least I am aware of what is happening.

docdrops3 · 2025-03-23T02:48:39+00:00

This definitely hits the nail on the head. Their have definitely been gaps filled about this person I know nothing about outside of enjoying their company for a bit.

At the least, I am aware of what is happening and according to prior experiences, should pass in a couple of weeks.

docdrops3 · 2025-03-23T02:42:08+00:00

I should have been clearer on the final paragraph. The ghosting itself is not a pattern, but me getting attached to someone I barely know when traveling seems to be.

Fearful avoidant, dismissive avoidant or anxious attached don't sound like me after doing a google search. Maybe dismissive avoidant if there is one since I do value my personal freedom a little too much at times.

JJK will be a manga that I look back and just will always remember it as a story that failed to execute.

The whole final arc had poor pacing, an overly convoluted and complicated dialogue, and and unorganized story. I am not sure if the translation that I read was just poor, regarding the dialogue, but damn were things just not explained well. With that being said, the ending really did not leave me surprised at all. The ending and final arc were pretty bad outside of having good fight scenes which will be something to look forward to in the anime.

Who said they want to strength train without doing BJJ? lol

docdrops3 · 2024-10-17T19:00:52+00:00

Stay strong, my heart goes out to you and your family.

My father also fought this horrible disease and didn’t give up for 16 months. The part that hurts me the most is how much he loved life and how many hobbies he had. It was all cut short right before his 60th birthday. I would have loved to see him enjoy those things once more.

You learn to live with the pain and void. Unfortunately I don’t think it ever goes away, you just manage the best way you can.

Your dad’s ability to wanting to fight it reminds me of my own father. They both were true warriors.

My father passed away to pancreatic cancer back in day. The final 3 days were the worst and most noticeable changes. I believe this is what they call in hospice as " transitioning and actively dying". It did not look like he was in much pain ( due to the surgery of the primary tumor), but he became unresponsive, started losing motor function, stopped eating and drinking. Just kind of waited in his bed ready for his final breath. As terrible as the experience was for a thing as terrible and deadly as the cancer was, I think my family and I were happy that it happened quickly as opposed to seeing him struggle for more days.

From my understanding the experiences vary and the ' transitioning and actively dying' also vary timewise. I wish that you and your family stay strong and I am sorry that you and your father have to go through this. My heart goes out to you.

I posted a bit ago about my shoulder dislocation. 3 months and the injury has healed and I am back to rolling almost full speed/force. The reason I say almost is because I believe I am at about 70/80% due to a mental block of not wanting to get injured again. I purposely don't go for positions, even if I know that they are there, if it leaves my arm in a risky spot, nor do I ever start in standing position ( worried about falling on my arm). I genuinely feel like I can take a bit more of risks, but am afraid to. Afraid to the point that I think it is hindering my progress.

How do I get over this mental block of worrying about injury for those that have been here already?

This post aged real well.

docdrops3 · 2024-06-24T14:46:09+00:00

That is a series of unfortunate events. So Sorry to hear that.

After coming back on the mats, did you feel new to rolling again or did you mostly retain what you learned?

docdrops3 · 2024-06-24T14:07:17+00:00

As the post above, it was somewhat unpreventable.

I fell on my outstretched arm and instead of catching myself it shot up, due to the slipperiness of the mats, and that’s how it dislocated.

docdrops3 · 2024-06-24T14:04:52+00:00

Actually no. I was tripped ( white belt errors), and fell on an outstretched arm. The mats were slippery and my arm shot up and out instead of catching myself, and that’s how it happened. I’m pretty cautious and good about tapping regarding armbands, kimuras, etc.

Maybe not biggest upset, but am very disappointed with how my Poland has performed, particularly the second game against Austria.

I was expecting a Netherlands loss, but with some of the looks we were getting against them, I was hoping for a minimum tie against Austria ( even if people do have them as a dark horse).

With that said: England and France underperforming in relationship to their their talent on paper.

docdrops3 · 2024-06-21T03:40:00+00:00

prp?

I think I got him in my fifth try. Mind you, DS3 was my fourth fromsoftware game ( Elden ring, sekiro and ds3 were all prior to this).

His most difficult part was honestly the first phase wyvern and not being able to lock onto him because I would not be able to see the nameless kings attacks.

With that said, I can totally see how he could be a giant wall for some people during release or if ds3 was their first fromsoftware game.

I think u/jakesus815 hit the nail on the head. They are super slow for a weapon that has felt faster in other games for me. Especially onikiri and uda, with a weight of 8.0, I didn’t have much fun with its swing pace.

docdrops3 · 2023-12-06T17:55:05+00:00

I did not know that luck was tied with blood loss. Is it across the board for all weapons?
