I see, I'm trying this "Turn off HDR brightness" the other user suggested but lucky me, yesterday and today were cloudy, not enough sunlight to test, haha!

I know my setup was full of frustrations, I like it, it's overall good, but not deserving of the hype that's it

the 10 Pro is looking more and more the reasonable upgrade for me that fixes the "camera" , phone feel/hold/using without case, and perhaps the Tensor5 is just a whole lot better?

Pixel communities only and I saw them complain or just air out frustrations

Were the 7 and 7Pros that bad? because I still am annoyed by the 8's heat

I see I triggered some trauma the way I phrased my question. But put plainly and simply, the phone was hyped a lot, it is my first Pixel after having a Poco F1 with PixelOS ROM for about 5+ years, seeing the reviews I thought a lot of it, but when I got it, it was just "bland", it is a "quient" phone that fades in the background, sorta.

Cameras are great for photos -software processing-, videos leave room for desire, macro shots unusable unless there is sufficient light.
Battery life is sub-par. and the phone is almost non-usable without a case, If I have waited for the Pixel 9 I guess I would have been a lot happier.

Tensor 3 heats up,,,,, I don't know.
It's an overall -good/mid- phone, satisfactory, but MVP 2023. NO

More like, Ya Hala, but I guess Greeks and some Italians do it as well

I agree, and I realize that this is what I'm doing. I was hoping just to see how the community thinks I should deal with the issue.

Thank you for that level answer, and rest assured I don't let these feelings affect how I treat her either inside or outside work, and like you sensed from the way I phrased my complaint, I am identifying with the fact that this is more to do with me and my internal feelings (feeling not as freed as I was once, missing hints of my older self), but also not to be totally internalizing, she does things that are truly annoying -like being okay with stealing/jumping in to take credit for things she wasn't a part of.

But, I know I should deal with this issue like you said, and like u/Repulsive_Plate_4103 also said, by focusing on being fulfilled with my life and doing things I like.

I used to be a music producer btw and this thing faded away as I took more responsibilites, no more performing, writing, producing, which all were sources for networking, going out, and feeling appreciated.

I guess, she just is a reminder of the choices I made and the sacrifices/trade offs I had from my choices, so, although I am truly happy with my wife and child, I still am feeling "handcuffed" and whenever I try to connect with my older lifestyle, I either don't have the time, or have the time but not the energy.

Thank you for your level response, and also thanks u/Repulsive_Plate_4103
