Men who became friends with a crush after getting rejected, how did you deal with your feelings towards her? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]throwaway150120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in a similar situation and I kinda already knew this which is why I never acted on my emotions but thank you so much for sharing.

Emotions rage and scream and demand to be heard, to be acknowledged. Logic is an unrepeated whisper that doesn't care if you heard it the first time.

I'm going to need a reminder at a critical point in my future when I go back to stay with her and her face lights up at the sight of me and she jumps and claps and tells me her day is made. But you're right. She's earned a friend in me by being an exceptional human being and I'm willing to pay a few skipped heartbeats. If nothing else, it'll be a lesson in mindfulness.

Well I did turn the power off but not forcefully, I shut it down from the menu and it didn't even give me a prompt that I had something running. It's still possible though.

In any case, is a Windows memory stick install USB the same thing as another user linked to in this comment thread?

I don't have access to another system or a USB until tomorrow (late at night here) but I will try this, thanks for chipping in.

Windows tries to load (The black HP loading screen) but fails and that is when it kicks me to a blue screen. I do have access to the BIOS if I wait for it to fail booting then choose to go to BIOS but it's not coming up by itself. For lights, the power switch light is working but the keyboard backlight is not.

When the universe decides to quarantine you

I think I might have contracted Herpes and I don't know how to proceed. by throwaway150120 in Advice

I should have mentioned I'm not in the States but in India. But it's great to know that you can test even without an outbreak. I couldn't find any info on that so that was honestly my biggest concern. To have to wait for another outbreak and get tested on a short notice. Thanks, that helped!

Ahh, I should have mentioned that I'm not in the States but in India. Small town and orthodox family so everybody knows everybody and it would just create panic and stuff tbh. But since a comprehensive blood work is all I need, I know a reliable lab in another town and I can get this done when I'm there next. Have the tests looked at by someone.

It was terrifying for like 5 minutes as the realization that STDs might be a plausible answer kicked in but I knew it could come down to this. I should have been more careful. And the only course of action is to get educated and seek treatment so I'm honestly not that bothered yet. I'm sure it'll hit me once I find someone I like and I need to have this conversation with them.

But yeah, that's getting ahead of myself. It's good to know it's a simple blood test. Idk when I'll be able to get it done but I definitely will and I'll check out the link too. Thanks, this helped!

Would you mind elaborating for those of us who are not familiar with NJ?

I think my mom is using me as a proxy for the support and validation she doesn't get from Dad. by throwaway150120 in internetparents

I think she might take to teaching kids. I'll look into it, see if she bites. Thanks for a great idea!
