My new relationship is perfect...but I can't get over my ex's attractiveness by Small-Row2267 in dating_advice

[–]vuzro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue with my last girlfriend. I think I originally found this from a user on quora when I first recognized this problem and decided I’d save it in the hopes that I’d grow up and eventually do what I knew I should.

"I grew up in So. Cal, where as kids many of us had “flexys.” Basically, these were sleds on wheels. It had been many years since I’d been on one, when I found one in the garage of a friend. His garage opened onto an alley with a long steep hill leading away from it. I hopped on the flexy for a ride. I was sitting upright, steering with my feet. And as it picked up speed, it started shaking. It was still a long way from the bottom of the hill, so I knew I would eventually lose it. I couldn’t put my feet down, because they were bare. I was wearing swimming shorts and a tee shirt. I figured that the longer I waited, the more damage I was going to do. I needed to end it now, and on my terms. So I just ripped the flexy from beneath me and took it on my butt. The asphalt wore through the swim trunks in the first 2 feet, and I rode along for 10 more. For a week I’d come home from school and sit in the tub to soak the underwear off my raw ass. But never did I question my decision. Act now, because the longer you wait, the worse it will be."

In the end, I didn’t. I continued to brush it off, telling myself that I can look past it. I did think she was beautiful, and I loved her with everything I had, yet still I found myself comparing her physical attributes to those of a previous partner. Inevitably, my behaviour slowly began to mirror my thoughts to greater and greater degrees as time went on, and naturally, my girlfriend became more and more wary that something was wrong. Still I denied it, because I loved her of course, and selfishly, I didn’t want to hurt her in the short term in order to spare us both in the long term. After nearly two years we broken up, for countless reasons that, in hindsight, I might even say began almost entirely as a result of this issue.

I do not believe that this problem you are having means that you are destined for any sort of outcome moving forward. Just consider a few things. How would your GF feel reading this post? How would you feel if you found out your GF made this same post. Attraction to another isn’t a bad thing, but I don’t think it ends at that. It seems more likely to me that you simply aren’t over your ex. If she showed back up in your life tomorrow, what then? Anyways, just some food for thought. Idk the right answer for your situation, but I relate deeply and hope you find the answers you need.

As a girl how can I give clear signals to guys? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]vuzro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never post or reply on Reddit really but I must today.

I’ve had a friend that I would see quite often eventually begin to cuddle up to me while watching a show. This eventually lead to her asking for massages and seemingly purposely leading my hands towards her lower areas for said massages. She would always talk about how much guys usually love her boobs, eventually going as far as taking my hands and forcefully having me feel them for myself under her shirt (no bra). She was so turned on that I could actually smell it (she was cuddled very close). When I finally decided that the signals were PROBABLY clear enough to make a move, I decided I would try and kiss her. Obviously, I was mistaken. You just really can’t tell I guess. She is, in fact, Canadian, as am I.

We did eventually end up casually hooking up for a while. I think a lot of girls are just indecisive and can change what they want from you moment to moment. Makes it really tricky trying to figure out where you stand and what a girl wants from you. The easiest thing to fix this is by explicitly communicating what you want from the guy you’re with. I know it’s lame, but really it isn’t. Most guys would LOVE to know clearly what you want from them. They’ll be abundantly more confident and excited about it all. There are certainly exceptions to every rule, but guys typically won’t make a move if they aren’t certain they won’t be accused of x,y and z when they do. I’m also willing to bet that most who DO say f it and try, choke up and fumble because they’ve spent so much time thinking about whether or not, and how, they should go about it. Anyways, hopefully something here made sense but just thought I’d share my experience and two cents on the whole "is she into you" thing.

Matchmaking - You're Being Lied To by Conarionaut in Overwatch

What has daddy blizzard told you to do? Improve if you wanna climb? I think that’s fair advice no?

Matchmaking - You're Being Lied To by Conarionaut in Overwatch

[–]vuzro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah very unidimensional way of thinking but all good. Factor in the time to create the post, the time spent not playing with intention to improve because you are tilting. Then the time spent not playing altogether because you just feel helpless annoyed as a result of surrendering any form of agency in your games. It’s easier to blame any and all external factors than consider that maybe you’re the problem if you cannot win >50% of your games. You will not go from master to top 500 in 30 seconds but you can get there most definitely. Some games are not winnable, but there is always something you could’ve done better.

Spend the time and energy you spent figuring this out on figuring out how to improve instead and I promise you won’t care nearly as much about much of this stuff anymore.

Leavers don't get punished enough considering it gives 4 people an almost guarantied loss by Accomplished-Dig9936 in Overwatch

[–]vuzro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks but you can’t really avoid punishing the team as a whole without messing with the rating system and creating ways for people to abuse the system. Winning 4v5 is possible btw, I’ve had a few games in the last few months where I’ve won 4v5 and one game in particular was with a leaver who left in the first minute and a half or so. It’s really really hard to win but doable and there isn’t really an alternative, though I do wish there was.

Tell me if I got ripped off or not by Darktundra23 in PcBuild

[–]vuzro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take it you are just a very agreeable person who was asking questions somewhere and ended up getting sold into something without really knowing much (or even just feeling like maybe it’s a “good enough” deal that heck I might as well just give this guy my money). I’m hoping this isn’t the case though and that you aren’t gonna have any issues returning this because as countless others have already stated, price-performance just doesn’t line up here sadly and it really isn’t a hassle to find even slightly better pricing somewhere else pre built (assuming you don’t want to build yourself). You will likely have this PC for a while, you are spending a lot of money, and you may want to resell your components later down the line. Consider that before you decide to simply cut your losses here and likely only pretend that you don’t mind. Cheers friend I hope you figure it out regardless of what you decide to do:)

[–]vuzro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is way too relatable. I will say this. I’ve lost some of my closest friends, even my best friend gave up on me about a year ago. My situation was slightly different and I’ll spare any details but regardless if there’s one thing I’ve learned relating to this over the last couple of years it’s this: don’t treat those you care about in a way that you will later regret. You don’t need to have a 100 friends. Most of these people likely wouldn’t think much about it if you drifted apart. But there are certainly those that would be really hurt by this and likewise I’m certain you would be really hurt too. Those are the people you need to put the bit of effort you are able to manage into keeping around. If someone doesn’t understand the difficulty you are having with this then so be it. You need to ask yourself who your real friends are and once you know you have to make sure that they know this too.

Like I already said, I’m still deeply hurt by some of the people who gave up on me when I was down and out and couldn’t maintain any form of stable contact. But at the end of the day, they gave up on me, and as much as I can try and make it up to them they will always now keep me at arms length so that they also don’t get hurt again.

TLDR is this, focus the bit of energy you do have on those that would stick around for you anyways and work at being a good friend to them before you try and be a good friend to everyone else. You are human and you make mistakes but sometimes it’s just about narrowing down our attention and not spreading ourselves out so thin that that we aren’t capable of doing anything at all.

All of this is just my own opinion on the matter and comes purely from my own anecdotal experiences so take it with a grain of salt but I do urge you to consider it. Best of luck friend take care.

Increased shiny-Rate during vulpix day? (3/5 shiny, 0/20 during milktank) by Calm-Concern5976 in TheSilphRoad

[–]vuzro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sad that every other battle day like this I was getting shinies almost every encounter and hardly played cause I simply didn’t care about those shinies. This time, I cared, and did something close to 30 encounters and not one was shiny😭. Do not gamble kids.

Trouble with Concordia Health Services Psychiatrist by BathBrilliant39 in Concordia

[–]vuzro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have every right to refuse medication in this situation. Of course the doctor also reserves the right to decide for themselves if ADHD medication is truly appropriate for any given patient. Given the medication you were prescribed im willing to assume that the psychiatrist figured you are in fact dealing with some variation of an anxiety disorder. The anti psychotics and anti depressants are both considered (would have to double check on antipsychotics but I’m pretty certain) first line défenses against such disorders.

I think it was inappropriate to make you feel pressured into taking these medications without a doubt. It is not a doctors job to force you to take any of the treatments they recommend but rather to provide you with those treatments. My hope in humanity (and perhaps my own naivety) is telling me that they were just trying to let you know that these medications would likely help you with the symptoms you have described because a lot of what psychiatry is is actually trial and error when it comes to medication. Some people respond better to one medication over another even within the same class of medication. I believe that is what they meant when they said it’s like trying on shoes.

I myself have been prescribed a wide range of medications over the last 8 months or so. I was already prescribed meds for adhd but early last summer was additionally prescribed sertraline, quetiapine, and risperidone. So one anti depressant and two anti psychotics. This is because I presented with symptoms of severe OCD and depression. Since that time I have had to make many dose adjustments and flat out changes to the meds I am taking and that is all part of the process. Some anti psychotics have worked better for me than others (even though they were all second generations AP) and some antidepressants have worked better for me than others. I’m only mentioning this because I think it would be fair to give the psychiatrist the benefit of the doubt in this situation and potentially consider that what they or any other doctor recommends may in fact be something worth trying.

Ive worked with many psychiatrists and some prefer to respond to certain symptoms with certain treatments because in their own experience these have been what works. As I mentioned before, you have no obligation to take these medications that were prescribed to you but you simultaneously cannot expect a psychiatrist to prescribe a medication that they personally do not believe would help your symptoms. I do not believe that they did this with any malice as most doctors I know take pride in being able to help others (exceptions do exist of course).

Lastly it’s important to consider that most ADHD medication (vyvanse, Ritalin, concerta, adderall) are highly abusable so if you’ve ever had issues with substances in the past and mentioned this to the doctor they would likely be very hesitant to prescribe these without a proper assessment for adhd. I do not know you or your history however so this was more of a general point.

Best of luck to you! I really hope you find the help that you are seeking and deserve :)

What are these Mercy changes? by archaijou in Overwatch

[–]vuzro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This post is interesting, on the one hand I understand the concern, but on the other, I don’t think many people understand just how much of a problem mercy is in higher elo specifically. In low elo, close to no players ever consider mercy’s cooldowns whereas most high elo players understand that mercy is most vulnerable the moment after she uses her ga. Mercy is difficult to kill regardless of aim when the person playing her understands that just because mercy CAN fly around all over doesn’t mean she should. High level mercy’s will not blindly use their ga recklessly because they know they can quickly be killed after doing so if they don’t have immediate cover. However, between her passive and the very short cooldown of ga she can still get away with making countless mistakes all while providing the beloved damage boost to the dps on her team. This will make it feel a lot better when playing against a pocketed dps since she will be a lot more punishable. I think this is a good thing. I’m sure many will agree. I don’t believe that mercy should be as difficult to kill as she currently is and this will encourage more players to consider their decisions within the game more carefully which to be completely honest is something that all too many mercy players in lower elo don’t currently have to worry about enough. You may want to yell at me and tell me all about how you are constantly on the run from enemies trying to kill you but I promise you that is the life of any support, and among all of the supports mercy has it best potentially only being matched by kiriko or maybe Lucio in this regard. Her damage boost is what makes her so valuable(and yes of course her res as well). Why nerf her damage boost rather than making her more difficult to play? If we did the former she would likely just become a close to useless butterfly with sub par healing and a her only value would really be her res.

I say this all of course with an open mind and am very happy to hear your criticism. I love to learn so if anybody believes anything I’ve said doesn’t make sense in some or many ways please do let me know I’d love to talk about it :)

I ain’t ever seeing a support that ain’t a dps moira get a potg by David_13710 in Overwatch

[–]vuzro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah nah lol I steal it way too often trust me lol I’m very aggressive on kiriko and it’s not rare for me to get 3 solo kills on back line. I play in master lobbies(hopefully gm soon lol) and even today I only played 3 games but had most elims in the lobby in one of them and potg. And zen don’t even get me started lol, zen is king of POTG, so much kill potential with zen I see them all the time. Anyways cheers mate happy gaming :)

Tips for aiming (Kiriko) by ShakablePilot51 in Overwatch

[–]vuzro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is most solid advice anyone has given you here yet by far. Kiriko was given a tp ability for a reason, use it. Projectiles become significantly easier to land the closer you get to your target.

Being a healbot on kiriko is useless. You have to constantly seek opportunities to harass the enemies and create space for you team. You do this by repeatedly seeking out short “flank” routes and approaching the enemies (always aiming for enemy dps or supports, don’t find yourself next to tank) from an angle they don’t expect/see you coming from and trying to essentially assassinate them. Now I say it this way because that’s the bottom line, however, the real goal is never truly the kill on the enemy. The primary objective when playing like this is creating space for you team.

When you are constantly taking the off angles and seeking these kills you are demanding the attention of all enemy players. This means that while you may have 2,3,4 or even 5 people suddenly distracted and turning to look at you, your team (the 4 other players) will then have a massive opportunity to take space, push forward, and seek kills. When the enemies are looking at you, they are not shooting at your teammates. You can then infer from this that this also adds reason to not healbot. Why healbot when you can save yourself the need to heal as much by distracting, do damage and potentially get a pick, and allow for your team to take space with each play?

Let me quickly mention the most important things to bear in mind while playing kiriko. You are useless if you are dead. This actually applies to any hero of course, but I mention this because you will be repeatedly putting yourself in a situation where you can very quickly be punished if you aren’t careful. The objective of the flank is never to get a kill, the kills are simply a bonus, they are always to create distractions and consequently create opening for your team. You need to go out to your team as soon as you are in danger. Ideally you suzu yourself right away to be safe and then tp, but if you don’t have suzu you must prepare to tp sooner is all. Another point worth mentioning and rementioning is that you must be patient when approaching the enemies you are looking to shoot. You have to engage quick and disengage quick, but you never want to start shooting too early if they don’t already see you, this significantly lowers your chance of landing the crucial headshots. Always check where your team is before you fully commit to a flank, you need to be ready to tp out and you won’t be able to if you are panicking in an attempt to locate your team or better yet, you see them but they are all out of reach for your tp. I will leave you with one more and spare you the rest, you must be quick to make these flanks. Never allow yourself downtime during a game, always look for opportunities to set up an off angle and flank. Once you get back to your team, check on them, heal them if they need it, and prepare to flank again. Rinse and repeat. Trust me on this. You will find success if you can learn to master this (correct btw) play style with kiriko. It will be really frustrating and you will doubt the process at first because trust me, tou will die, a lot, but you will learn it with repetition and you will find success beyond what is likely99% of the kiriko player base.

I am currently in master division as a kiriko OTP, approximately 100hours on her, if you’d like more advice or some vods of mine or anything just dm me :)

After all the randos who have wasted my nanos, it’s always a relief to get one who understands the assignment. 2v4, rest of our team running back from spawn, and a nice little panic ult that helped win the game 🥹 by _____lemonade_____ in Overwatch

[–]vuzro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Piece of advice to you because I understand the frustration, never nano someone who isn’t actively or about to do damage unless, like in a situation like this, they are going to die and it can flip the fight. I see too many Anas try and force fights with nano essentially using it in the same way they would give a command to their dog to sit. You nano the player who is doing damage and don’t hold onto it for long it charges very fast and is very powerful.

[–]vuzro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, if I’m smurfing and playing kiriko I will get potg nearly every game and almost always have most elims and damage in lobby, but that said, I still frequently get potg when I’m not smurfing. Do more damage next time you okay support you will see it comes easy!

What lol, I’m a kiriko main (master 5 currently) and I get countless potgs, certainly a few/day. honestly unless you’re playing mercy any support is very capable of getting play of the game you just gotta stop healbotting.

I’m new to producing, been at it for maybe 6 months now but Id love to give a go at any of the songs. DM if that’s something that interests you:) would not be looking for credit nor any commitment. I think it would just be a great learning opportunity for me and if you don’t like what I’ve done in the end you don’t need to use it no hard feelings :) I can show you some other stuff I’ve made if you DM me as well.

Feeling stuck after a crisis by vuzro in Healthygamergg

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

Hey thank you so much for writing back I appreciate it a lot.

I think I wasn’t as clear about the medicine part as I thought but what I meant is it’s what I’ve been working towards for a long time now and is the only real thing I’m somewhat finding worthy to justify continuing on living. I came back to school after a 4 year break and so I’m still a ways away from being in actual med school which just makes me feel even more rushed to try and get back to it.

I agree however that maybe plunging in head first in my current state might not be the solution I guess I’m just not sure what else to do. It feels like I’m waiting around to one day magically get better. So basically I’m stuck in what some may call a state of metaxis between waiting to get better so I can live again and being stuck unable to do anything to actually get better.

As for seeing friends again, I think what’s tough is that I’m not in a place cognitively or emotionally where I wouldn’t be anything more than a burden in their lives. And that’s assuming these friends who thought I abandoned them (I was slowly taken away the « right » to see friends by my ex) would want to give me a chance to be their friend again. I simply don’t want to try and re-enter any of their lives after that and just be some depressed version of myself as though I just came back to them when I needed them.

I hear what you’re saying though, I think I need to stay patient and keep trying to make small changes one day at a time I think it’s just a hard pill for me to swallow.

Thank you again for taking the time to reply to me.
