For me the amazing part was somehow pacing. Every single time I felt like I am starting to cruise through levels, I was knocked down really hard.. and my brain exploded more than a few times.

Stunningly, this created one of the best mechanics for me — “if it was too easy, you probably missed a valuable lesson there”.

Arvi created something special, where every bit of that frustration pays off at least tenfold.

So..

  1. You want to learn new things and now you are getting discouraged.

Why you wanted to learn new things? Was it adventure calling, random idea, someone gave you some advice/ideas or you were great in your imagination at them before even starting? Whatever it was, learning new things can be equally great and hard.

  1. You seem to be failing at new things.

This is how learning works. Some people fail more and harder, or need more explanations, or more trial and error until the “thing” clicks in their head.

Did I miss anything? There is not enough information but let me shoot in the dark:

  • The thing with diving or climbing, was it a one and done thing or do you continue doing it anyhow?

Why I am asking? There is quite a big difference in “I want to learn new things”, “I want to try/test new things”, “I am bored and just wanna do something” and “I am seeking for a (new) lifelong passion/hobby” or even harder “I want to get really good at X”.. Depending on what your actual need is, there is plenty of possibilities why the process and effects are not satisfying for you.

  • What does “looked bad” mean? Was it a comment from your instructor, or someone from the group gave you a weird look or laughed? Or you had it recorded and you compared your technique to others?

Sounds a little like some form of stage-fright, you can process the instructions and get what the instructor is saying but the problem begins during the “performance” part? Following the instructions and so on? This is quite common, especially during group classes with random people you don’t know. They can be quite chaotic and overstimulating.. There is not much you can do to avoid it, but there is a lot you can do to work through it.

  • Part about “no pressure”

Maybe a form of group classes is too much and just not for you at the beginning — maybe one on one approach would suit your needs better?

There are so many angles to approach this subject..

I have this neighbor. He is like 70+ yo, after a stroke and a heart attack, barely talks and walks..

Somehow, this guy still has some slapping sense of humor. How come he pulls it off and most people I briefly checked online history of can’t and more often than not are the same people talking “everyone is just too serious nowadays”, “no-one can get a good joke anymore, huh?” or “why they banned me? Again!”..

I am not saying this about OP, but I am starting to notice a trend.

Plus, yeah, being able to read the room (this in itself can be 10 times harder online), knowing your range and type of humor you operate with can definitely help. And sometimes.. sometimes it just doesn’t land at all — best lesson to improve or learn something. On the other hand, not everything and not every occasion or room has to be a comedic scene.

This reminds me of this shovel that sounded like Nirvana when it hit the ground.. I just love those. This might be one of the reasons why I appreciate Venjent as an artist so much..

I never actually counted but thanks to your question I know now. Currently I am enjoying music on 45 playlists and there is zero songs overlapping, with a small exception of “temporary” playlist — where songs are awaiting being sorted and this one is generally a “beautiful mess”.

There might be like 5 songs that occupy different playlists but they are in different versions, covers, unplugged/concert versions or redefining remixes.

I wish I knew about all of them, it is more of a journey, exploratory process.

Laeyouzoids™ are created whenever you are doing something important, or when you are passionate about it, when you like or love what you are currently doing..

Those are a little rarer, thus more complex in their flow at first glance. More defined and brighter.

You do it naturally and automatically, using your whole body and energy — whether you sleep, sit and watch a video, walk somewhere, dance, wait in a queue, ride your bike.. Some would say that you can not not create one.

But, there is a special kind of Youzoids™, maybe you wanted to know about those? They are called Laeyouzoids™..

Sure, tell me what would you like to know?

There is !bodybuilding@lemmy.world but there is more to choose from.

To properly shoot web at anything, follow these simple steps:

  1. Aim your shooting adapted limb, abdomen, perforation, cavity, crevice or device,
  2. Find the sweet spot between accuracy and precision. Eye squint is optional for dramatic effect or — in some cases — even increased accuracy,
  3. Shoot

Possible outcomes:

  1. Preferable, you have hit your target. If you possess one of those flamboyant or more cocky styles, this is the perfect opportunity to use your well-prepared one-liner, punchline, slogan or motto. If you are on more villainous side of the spectrum, now is the time for your very intricate and extensive power monologue that is unavoidably the groundwork for your upcoming defeat or demise,
  2. Unfavorable, you have missed your target. Use your mixed Chill and Charisma perks to redirect the build-up of residual tension, sourness and shame onto other subjects. Great resource on how to handle those situations is the bestseller “You were not born a loser, or how to invite success into your life with unfairly dealt hands, or how I started blasting” by Danny DeVito

No worries, the official nomenclature is “Fat Tony sleeps well”.
