I kind of giggled at this, not trying to put you down. I did like around 20-30 and I was like maybe I should stop. -_- I had a military style workout routine every day, not by choice. I don’t like to brag but just vent out the daily torture routine. I think it’s funny that the One Punch Man workout routine is, heh, like nothing.
Hey now, no need to lie. If you had said it while appearing more honest, something like “I wanna brag, because I have put so much effort into this”, you might have gotten a better response. Now it just sounds like, you are bragging, and also a liar.
With all the experiences I’ve had in my life, some of them I wish I was lying about. I could have written I did 50 normal push ups, 50 knuckle pushups, 50 finger pushups, 25 one had push ups for each hand. I mean I could go on with the details of the routine. That would be bragging. All I was trying to get across was that it sucked. My friends were playing outside and there I was working out. I felt that it took away from my childhood. It’s not a brag to say that doing that shit everyday with gym in school, martial arts and track when all I wanted to do was play world of warcraft. To a certain extent, I want to stay anonymous with my posts, you don’t have to believe me.
Yeah, no, I did not mean to imply you did not do all that, that is a communication failure on my part. Just pointing out, that your wording about not bragging, made your message read as something else, than what you likely meant. Unintentionally failing at communication is a big issue online, and I often try to point out, where the miscommunication happened, so that can be avoided in the future. That does not save me too, from failing from time to time, though.
No hard feelings, I just try to convey things as best as I can and it’s a infinite learning process. That’s why I like it here at lemmy, it’s a place I can write about things I can’t bring myself to say in person. And I get that it’s a bit selfish.
I like lemmy too, since I can have interactions like this, where there is communication failure, but we can figure it out. Keep writing, it is not selfish! There are always people like me, who enjoy reading the comments :)
“There are always people like me, who enjoy reading the comments”
I like that, even if you disagree or point out my flaws; it’s all good. It’s why I left reddit. It’s refreshing to have someone point out things instead of just downboating you. I’ll admit, if you read through my comments, the first thought is–you’re full of shit, it doesn’t surprise me. I like to write here, like a diary, of my experiences in life because the older I get the more I realize how abnormal my life was–is.

This is essentially, why I try to do it. I think there would be a lot less miscommunication, and overall better discussion athmosphere, if people just stopped to say, “hey, you sound like [this], maybe you did not mean it”, instead of just downvoting - or worse, starting to hurl insults around. Nobody learns a thing, if there is no good feedback given. I know this sometimes just pisses people off, but I think it is still worth to try. Sometimes I get discussions like this one, afterall!
And I think I understand, what you mean with the difficulty, of conveying an unordinary life. I like to keep things more private here, but every time I explain the downward spiral of unfortunate things, and new and new chronic illnesses, my life has been so far, to someone, it sounds like a bad sitcom…
It sounds like you’ve had your fair share of struggles. Happy to have you here. I like a good chat and I don’t take personally. And besides my writing style has been a bit of a mess, I know other languages and still am studying others–it’s like a hobby at this point. I’m kind of interested in reading about your life with the last statement.
