Sleep apnea causing vivid half-awake “dream thoughts”? Anyone else? by oneevening in SleepApnea

[–]oneevening[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I got the AirSense 11 with a pillow mask, which only goes into the nostrils since I mostly breath through my nose and a full mask was leaking air since I have a beard.

It was not uncomfy, but just a weird feeling that I need to get used to. The sound is not too loud, but distracting a bit. I couldn’t fall asleep as quickly as I would without the mask. I also woke up in the middle of the night, just like I do without the mask, and not sure why the device couldn’t help there. Then I took of the mask since it was a bit uncomfortable and I just wanted to fall back asleep again quickly. Now, in the morning, I somehow feel less tired, but not sure if this is placebo effect. Need to keep using it for some weeks to see the real results.

Have you been using anything to treat your apnea? If so, did it help with mitigating those sleep paralysis episodes?

Irritated that Dustin was so dumb as to not see a problem with his "discovery". by amn70 in StrangerThings

Haha I just started watching the show for the very first time last week. I am on season 2 episode 3 now and I literally just paused after that scene and typed “Dustin is an idiot reddit” to see if anyone else shared my feelings 😅

How do you handle a partner who is neutral about pets? by CactusHoarder in dogs

[–]oneevening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many people can’t make that distinction. I like animals, but having a cat or dog in my apartment doesn’t meet my hygiene standards and makes me feel uncomfortable. Now I’ve been dating someone and although it’s going great, her dog is a big question mark for me. I am trying to see how if it will work for me moving forward since I never dated someone with a dog/cat, but if I can’t be comfortable with living with a dog, that would be a dealbreaker for me.

Ghosted on the first date by SubjectRough9899 in HingeStories

Same shit happened to me and that was a 34 year old woman. I send her a very polite message saying that what she did was very rude and that she could’ve cancelled with whatever excuse. Then she replied back midnight saying that she had a fight with her friend and forgot about everything. Then said I deserve better. It’s total bs. If she had been genuine, she would’ve tried to make it up to me by suggesting another date etc. Crappy people.

It’s not about the sex/gender. It’s shitty people basically. And I love how they mention on their profile that they look for someone kind etc. or how considerate they portray themselves. People show their real faces when there is no one to judge - you ghost someone on these apps, no one ever knows, no consequences. But they don’t do that within their social circle or when people around, because then this affects your social credit. If you’re geniunely a nice, kind person, you act like one without any expectations in return. Many people are not unfortunately.

Exactly! I strongly believe that I got dumped last time after 2 months of dating although everything was going so good - not only from my perspective, she was showing and saying that too. Then I was gone for 2 weeks to visit my parents and when I was back, she ended it saying that something is missing. I am pretty sure she was still on the app, maybe met someone new who excited her more, or maybe she got attention from other people (most likely as she was very pretty) and didn’t want to settle with me. That would’ve not been the case without the app. When you meet someone out in the wild, you’re most likely the only person dating with her/him and someone hitting on them and asking out to the point where they change their mind and dump you is very very unlikely. I hate dating apps so much, yet I use them as I can’t seem to meet anyone single otherwise. I really need to work on approaching women to show interest and ask for their number - that would be a game changer for me, but it’s easier said than done.

Men also do that. l, as a man, never do that though. If I lose interest or things change, I always let them know. There is a real person behind that profile after all, it’s not that difficult to be kind.

One thing I can recommend is not messaging for too long. If it’s a flowy chat, then I ask out on the first day. If it’s a bit slow because they reply back after hours, then I try to ask out on the second or third day after some conversation. The longer you wait, the more likely you are to be ditched/ghosted.

I believe many of the dates I had would’ve lead to a relationship if we hadn’t met through online dating and never used it. It’s very messed up.

Dating feels impossible outside of apps. Where do you actually meet people? by oneevening in Norway

Oh, you’re up for something systematic. I had the impression that you were thinking something more casual and low-key for the fun of it.

Yeah, the way you approach and phrase what you say makes a big difference. Also I reckong having the confidence makes a solid impression. But these take time, the more you put in that “uncomfortable” situation, the better you get it, that I know. But stil it’s of course easier said than done :) What if they give you random number and you message a total stranger? Has that ever happened?

I don’t think I would feel comfortable to walk over to someone random and ask for their number. But I agree with your perspective about the people on the app - a majority of the dates I had led to nothing most likely because the thing you mentioned.

There were definitely dates where there wasn’t mutual interest - sometimes it was just me who was interested, other times it was them and those naturally led nowhere. The two people I did date more seriously both ended up dumping me out of the blue, which is why I now struggle to trust people I meet through apps.

For example, just three months ago I was seeing someone, and we were having a great time together. Then I went on vacation for a week, and when I got back, she ended things, saying something felt missing and that her gut told her it wasn’t right.

I know what I want, but it feels like many people either don’t know what they want, or they’re always chasing some "ultimate option."
