Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

I got assigned a double for next year … I am VERY pissed

Sharing a room with others gives me anxiety. I’d honestly rather sleep in a closet than have to sleep in the same room with another person

3 words-

Massive sleep farts.

Do with that what you will.

I appreciate this.

With my shit digestion, I think this might actually be a concern.

Yer welcome.

The public speaking thing “Imagine everybody else is naked…” wouldnt really work when they’re supposed to be.

Eat five whole rotisserie chickens in front of your roommate to assert your dominance.

Spending hours reading on the toilet, washing you ass after taking a dump and drying your ass with a hairdryer works wonders too. Especially if the drying occurs outside of the bathroom.

Roommates will be inclined to seek another accommodation, and yet when they try to explain their predicament to a third party they will be accused of “overreacting”.

If that fails you can always fake night terrors.

I’m required to live in sorority house

So what is at the core of the anxiety about sharing a room?

Like, what do you imagine happening?

Idk specifically, I just dislike sharing a living space, maybe privacy?

I feel like I always have to be careful- can’t relax

Ok.

Have you ever shared living space before or is this a fear of the idea of sharing living space?

My first semester I had a roommate and it was bad.

She moved out bc there was mould in the room she was really allergic to and I felt a lot better

There’s also the issue of my sleep schedule.
If she sleeps much later, it’ll disturb me and I’d disturb her when I wake up

Ok. So these are problems of comfort and convenience, not fear of harm or death?

No, why would there be fear of harm or death

Thats how I relate to terms like anxiety and panic.

Its like an induced jolt of adrenaline, fight or flight response to protect the person from a threat.

Of course, there are other definitions. Thats just the one I learned when seeing a therapist when I started having anxiety and panic attacks at work, a place where people were getting de-limbed and pulverized on a semi regular basis.

I confess I don’t understand the posters in the Darden section. They talk about incredibly intricate and refined methods of training, yet most have the bodies of SARM-abusing teenagers (at best).

Perhaps this isn’t flame free after all :grimacing:

It’s like the comedy section for me.

I confess…I never understood why powerlifters drop the bar on Deadlifts. What’s so hard about controlling the weight down even by a bit?

… until I started holding my top sets and dropping that shit. Feels like a boss even if it’s just 315 lol

It’s to make up for a lifelong lack of fatherly approval.
