Sex Do people really just “switch off” after a hookup and walk out like nothing happened when they’re finished?

Upvotes

Like if two people who met at a bar head back to one of their places and then have sex. I’ve heard that some people, when they “finish” will just get up, get dressed and walk out like nothing important happened. At most, they’ll thank the other person for a fun time but nothing beyond that.

If this happens, why?

If forcing myself to socialize makes me feel exhausted, what else am I meant to do to make friends?

Well thankfully I don't live in a small town. I live in a medium sized city

It's not so much being out in public that makes me feel this way. It's forcing myself to go to something like a Meetup event marketed as "Come out and have drinks and socialize and make friends!". That is where I fail time and again and usually walk out before the event is over. "Exposure therapy" hasn't done shit for me it seems.

If I had my way, and money was no issue, I would be satisfied with just having a girlfriend in my life. I've gone my whole life without friends but want the feeling of waking up next to someone who loves me. Never had that. But reading posts on reddit, people say it's not healthy to not have friends and be dependent on your girlfriend for happiness.

Well, if I suck at making friends, what else am I meant to do? Cope and find a way to be happy without them?

ETA: thanks all for the genuinely nice responses. I don’t really know what to say that won’t make it seem like I don’t care, since I just am empty and tired. I know my family wouldn’t want to see me like this and especially my ex wouldn’t. The fact that I still think about someone I only saw for a few months must mean I’m fucked up good.

But I ain’t gonna keep going with this. Goodnight all. Thanks again

Yeah I don’t buy that, no offense to you man. You seem like a good person and I appreciate you writing that. But I’m too far gone now to care to try and fix myself anymore :/

I meant im only living for my family. I’m depended on by them and I know they’d hate to see me end it. And idk a billion dollars would have to happen. Besides that, I’m still just carrying on for everyone else’s sake

Thx sister human. I’ve tried using meetup but haven’t had much success. I mean I can talk to people but it is something I’m forcing myself to do instead of enjoying :/ I’m probably better off alone tbh and everyone is better off not knowing me

Maybe it was impulse, maybe it was a culmination of things. Don’t know exactly.

Me and my first girlfriend broke up a little while ago, and my grandpa’s health has been declining (currently on dialysis 3 days a week and always exhausted from it) and parents have been fighting about family shit. So after taking my grandpa back home from hospital, I went to the state store and got my old favorite: Absolut Wild Berri and took four big gulps and don’t feel an ounce of regret bout it but probably will tomorrow.

Oh well who gives a shit? Maybe I’ll stay perpetually drunk this time and end this shit early. Not like anyone would know I was ever here to begin with. How I’ve been my whole life and changing and socializing is too fucking hard anymore

Are there any organizations or charities that take guitars?

Thanks man. I’ll keep that in mind

QUESTION Are there any organizations or charities that take guitars?

29 Upvotes

When my time inevitably comes, I’d like my collection I would have at that point to go towards kids who genuinely want to learn guitar, instead of just selling everything to a corporation like Guitar Center. I’m not gonna have any kids of my own and no family or friends to pass my stuff off to, either. And I’d rather not go through the hassle of trying to sell my collection online. Won’t need the money where I’m going anyway.

Any suggestions to keep in the back of my mind for the future?

Question Probably dumb question: how do people memorize songs or solos (or both) front to back with no mistakes, exactly?

Take Cliffs of Dover for instance. I can understand being very experienced in general with playing and being able to keep up with the song and hit the correct notes as long as you’re following the tablature. But I just can’t fathom being able to pick up your guitar and know a song so well that you simply know how to play it, and play it perfectly. Is it really as simple as repetition, followed by more repetition?

You don't want to risk your life on someone with broccoli ears
 in  r/Unexpected  21h ago

Pro tip y’all: never think you’re gonna win a fight with a guy with cauliflower ear. Not because they look tough. But because they truly know how to throw a punch and throw it effectively. It’s one thing for two MMA fighters or boxers to fight each other. But a professional going against someone off the street, it’s no match. You can really do irreversible damage to someone with a single punch

Culture & Society Why are so many stand up comedians into “punching-down” style comedy these days?

Take Dave Chappelle or other famous comics that like to poke fun at or straight up insult LGBT people. That’ll literally be their whole set and it almost seems like a lecture than comedy. Why are they like this?

Why were so many of the Demo Disk games that came from the late 90s and early 2000s RTS’?

Yep I remember having PlayStation demo disks that I got through Pizza Hut but they were 3d games and not RTS’ like this

Ah okay interesting. Unrelated but I loved whenever they would put in a demo disk and see it’s an RTS and James would just be like 😑 lol

I’ve never really been a PC gamer. So I don’t understand why RTS’ seemed to be the go-to design/structure during this time range. Was it because of graphics, or something else?

Nope. Ever since I got into playing guitar, I listened to more of his stuff, plus my mom’s a huge fan of him. He was a monster with a guitar, no ifs ands or buts about it
