"Being a teacher.
I love the teaching. I hate being a teacher."
"Dating again after my divorce. I realized I actually really truly did want my own space, my own home, my own finances, my own freedom. I was fulfilled by the relationships I had in my life. The first relationship after my marriage lasted 14 days. The whole time, I tried. But I couldn’t do it. I’m very happy alone."
"Living with roommates. Cannot stand it. I’m fine living with a partner, family, or by myself. But a stranger, no thank you."
"Shrooms. The first bit was pretty good, but then while I was laying in bed my Kurt Cobain poster fell on top of me. I was freaking out as to why Kurt Cobain came of out of heaven to specifically attack me. Nonetheless, I killed him a second time."
"For me, it was dating apps. I tried one out and instantly felt it wasn’t for me. The endless swiping and shallow interactions left me feeling more lonely than connected."
"Outdoor Festivals
Gross porta potties, no water to wash hands, the smell of weed, the smell of piss, people smelling of BO and alcohol, pushing each other out of the way to get to the front, people OD-ing, heat strokes, people with no awareness of their surroundings, minimal seating areas, no shade, drunk adults who bring their kids while they get wasted and over priced food lol"
"Dancing in a club. It looked like a good time, then I discovered I have absolutely no idea what to do with my arms and legs on the dance floor, and I look and feel ridiculous. Not fun."
"I was shocked at how much I hate weighted blankets. People say so many good things about them! I put it over me, boom, instant claustrophobia. I don’t even have claustrophobia. Except with weighted blankets."
"Running a marathon. Made it halfway through training before I realized walking is just fine"
"Pissing on an electric fence."
"In my younger days – Heroin, but not needles. Humans are not supposed to feel that good. It’s easy to see why it’s so addictive. It was a one and done thing, as I could easily see it could escalate quickly."
"Haunted houses. Having people jump out of the day and scream in my face while I walk through cheesy scenes of violence was not even a little fun for me."
"Polyamory
It caused me a lot of emotional damage"
"Anal. My ex begged me to try so I did it for him. It was painful and was not a good time."
"Meditation. I cannot sit still for the life of me"
"Diving, as in deep sea. Hated the feeling being that far down in the sea."
"Getting into management…no thank you."
"Golf, I just embarrassed myself trying it"
"Camping.
Spent one night in a tent and knew I belong indoors with AC and a fridge."
"Telemarketing. I walked out after two hours. I felt like the lowest of low life."
It cost me an arm and a leg.
#14 So your ex had no idea what he was doing.
#14 No. Very few people actually enjoy anal, especially if they have any of 100 medical conditions centering around digestion.
My wife wanted to try anal and I didn't enjoy it. I walked funny for 3 days, and now my farts sound like a howling ghost.
(badum!)
I agree: I cannot imagine the lack of understanding which would lead one to piss on an electric fence. I mean, electricity and the most tender flesh on a human body: what could go wrong?
Also, while many persons would not enjoy anal, most are turned off by two things: the taboo, and the complete lack of knowledge of how to proceed. Funny how many persons hated or were disgusted by the thought of sex, until they learned how to do it effectively; but when it comes to so many other avenues of pleasure, they try it once and never try it again. Their loss. Newsflash: next time, try reading up on it, then proceeding slowly, trying a little at a time: like light touching on the outside without entering, for example. It can be very, very loving, intimate, and powerful.
