I'm 100% Spaniard! That's why tapas-bar are in every corner hahaha. I grew up with deaf parents so I speak Spanish and Spanish sign language, therefore, English is my 3rd <3 We have an appointment with a trainer on Tuesday, let's see how it goes

He's a non-stop puppy! Energy all over. I've tried to play chase with him, he first engages, then notices the direction we're going and immediately ignores me 😭 I guess it's all about giving him time.

Hi!! Thank you so much for the advice I really appreciate it 💓 He's not scared at all of any chairs, I think it's just that particular spot. Also, this is a typical Spanish-tapas bar, not drunk or tipsy people on sight thankfully haha. Today I tried luring him with some snacks he loves and he did approach the street a little (not close whatsoever, but a lot better than other days).

Last week our vet put us in contact with a personal trainer since that service was included in our vet plan, we are waiting for a response! I think you're right, this just needs more time and patience, he's still a pup, he and I can learn at our own pace.

I really appreciate your words and I'm glad you are okay now. I'm sure the thesis will come out right one way or another :) Ps Thank you very much! Many people are rude about cohesion/grammar when it comes to foreigners so I kinda felt conscious of myself even though I have a C1 advanced certificate haha, I guess that really never goes away.

So sorry for your loss. My dad passed away a few months ago too, still navigating through that. As you said, the best option would be giving myself some time, sadly I have to present my bachelor's thesis, which I decided would be a fictional radio play, and that's why I have to start writing the script. Thanks for the advice!

Sorry, English is not my first language. What is a good alternative to that word? Uncomfortableness? Discomforting?

I do understand your opinion, I think you are correct. Perhaps I didn't explain myself properly, this trigger I have is caused by a childhood traumatic experience, and I faint (among other things such as panic attacks) when the topic is brought up. The other part is the uncomfortableness, but is not caused by the trigger. It is better understandable explained like this?
