  • Until you're through with bronchitis, you should rest and focus on getting better. After that, I suggest reevaluating whether you're still into running and HIIT. Those are great exercises but you sound bored with them. Plus they're really hard on the joints, and as you get older, you might want to switch to lower impact exercise anyway.

    Dealing with depression is tough because it's a huge demotivator and even the smallest things can seem daunting. It might be worth talking to your doctor about the depression, and getting your bloodwork checked because sometimes nutrient deficiencies can be a contributing factor. But with your current mindset, it seems like just getting up and moving around would be a good start for you. So while your shoulder heals (and I agree with the other poster, are you going to physical therapy?), you can work on cardio with walking. Maybe find somewhere out in nature to go for a walk, and don't focus on it as exercise, think of it as medicine for your mind and body.

    As for rebuilding muscle tone, have you considered starting weightlifting? If you're already thin, you'll start to see your gains pretty quickly, which is a good motivator to keep going!

    Good luck to you 🤜🏻

    Also your English is pretty good, but just FYI most people only use "flaccid" to refer to a limp penis. :)

  • Tell a joke or story in a linear fashion. I'm always fucking up, or realizing halfway through that I've left out an important detail. It's how my mind works but I'm sure it's frustrating to others. Plus I just get flop sweat sometimes.

  • I'm Gen X. Online dating didn't really exist when I started dating my husband in 2000. I mean you could find local people via AOL Chat and maybe there were early versions of things like match.com, but for the most part you met people in meatspace. There wasn't social media the way we know it now so you couldn't do much online stalking.

    The online component seems like it introduces a bunch of angst into dating. Due to gender imbalances on dating apps, it seems to become a numbers game for some. And from what I understand, a lot of the female profiles are bots. It also seems like it's common to check out a potential date's Instagram or other social media accounts, so rather than organically meeting a person, you're evaluating a profile, which probably doesn't give an accurate idea of who the person is. And it seems like young people live their lives increasingly online, so chance encounters in meatspace are rarer, plus it seems there's some reticence to chat up a stranger to see if it goes somewhere.

    It looks like a massive headache.
