I went through a really hard time this year with the loss of some important people and issues with family, bad anxiety issues, and randomly picked up a remote one day and turnt on a game against Freiburg for no reason. Never used to watch soccer, only played. Caught a glimpse of Olise playing, and now I have two jerseys on my wall, watching the world cup, and at the least, can take my mind off things.

The amount of times i’ve done this dudes celebration while goofing off at the field, argued he’s better than Lamine Yamal without ever watching a barca game, and thinking about how it’s not so bad to be quiet sometimes, thinking before I speak,

This dude genuinely has changed my life, and watching Nathaniel Brown, Saibari, Musiala, Kane, Bischof have all been such great joys to me. I’m genuinely naming my firstborn Olise if it ever gets to that point. It’s incredible how I used to never like watching sports, until I realized it’s about the players you personally have a story for. I will never forget how excited I was to see Olise score that final goal against Real Madrid.

The nearest pt school to me is about 50 minutes away. Should I commute or just come to terms with im going 100k in debt over 3 years should i just make it 120-130k for the sake of living there or sum

This is my second post here but i’m just having a bad day. I (20m) born in Nepal but raised in America.

I just feel like so much went wrong. I grew up here, but my parents just had to work and work and work to make a living and support us. They didn’t learn about American culture. I would come back from school in middle school and they wouldn’t understand what I was talking about and instead would lecture me. To this day, at 20, I can’t talk to them about anything without getting lecture of some sort.

My brother was 15 and I was 1 when we came to America. I can sort of talk to him but he is more like my dad because my dad was never around because he was doing double shifts at work and to this day I still don’t see him often.

Because of this, i’m so lonely, I hate it. I’ll never truly be an American because I grew up with Nepali values and frankly don’t agree with the culture here completely. I’ll never fully be Nepali either, i’m more like a zoo animal to be laughed at when I go back because I don’t understand what’s going on or being said sometimes.

I just wish I was one or the other. I wouldn’t even know the difference if my parents were divorced, I have no idea if my parents even like each other considering it was arranged. And at the end of the day,

I wish they just never had me at all if they have to struggle like this so much.

I just wish I had my dad around and could talk to my family normally. There’s no nepali friends around me, I can’t find a nepali girl to save my life of course and after dating somebody and feeling what it’s like to fully talk to someone and share without being lectured or whatever, I feel devoid of happiness like i’m missing a piece of me. I hate being in America and wish I was just raised back home.

I (20m) grew up in America to two nepali parents and grew up listening to them and learned to be a good person and treat others kindly thanks to them.

Now that im older I really hate how discriminatory my own parents are. They did not like my American girlfriend not because she is American, but because her parents passed away when she was young. I think that’s so hateful and unessecary. She was a very kind soul and we split because of different interests, and even now when I find it hard to find a Nepali-American girl, she still has something to say.

“You can’t marry person with ___ last name, they won’t know our Puja”. Why the hell does that even matter? You raised a kid in America and then don’t try to learn english, and so now I try to find somebody who is Nepali and can speak Nepali so they can have a relationship with my parents, but now caste matters?

Alot of people older than me from Nepal seem to be so rumor speading and hateful, and it bothers me so much. My family and I been discriminated against so many times by Americans just for my own parents to discriminate over things people can’t control. When I try to tell her she’s being awful she just starts yelling and is stubborn and i’m so annoyed.

I think something i’ve been thinking about alot this year in college is how normalized it’s become to share intimate moments with random people. The amount of women i’m friends with who tell me they’re making out with strangers or hooking up with friends…

I guess it’s really just irked me. I don’t want to end up with a person like that. How do you all feel about stuff like this?

This year I began watching soccer out of interest of Michael Olise. His incisive dribbling is intriguing, but also to me, simple. I love to study the guy. But, when trying to play at his playstyle, I notice big differences.

Mainly, people don’t hesitate the way pro defenders do. Alot of people are just much more aggresive and close the space far quicker because they don’t tend to jockey as much.

Is there a way to punish this aggresiveness on the field? I’m new to playing left wing and want to get better at it. Thanks!

tl:dr how to play against players who close space quickly?

edit; i play in a sunday league

How can I ever replace the feeling of being loved

I (21m) just don’t get why i’m so dependent on another person. I have only had one girlfriend who made me feel the happiest ive ever been. Broke up due to distance.

But why does nothing else satisfy me? my hobbies like soccer, hiking, pokemon, running, they’re all just distractions. why am i like this?

i wish i never knew what it was like to finally not feel lonely and feel loved. Does it get better?

I really enjoyed playing Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves, they reminded me of Sword art online. but I only have a Switch at school. I’m looking to play a game that involves these aspects. Mainly games like Star Rail or Genshin

- Open world to an extent
- Story
- Obtain equipment / heroes
- Fight bosses

But overall, something similar to Zelda/Genshin/Wuwa would be great. I absolutely love Wuwa.

Thank you!

Soo actually different than what’s probably usually said on this sub, but as a 22m i’d like it if the woman i’m paired with has had sex before.

Like, nothing crazy. I’d hope to be with somebody with some morals who has had sex with people they were actually in love with, and have moved on from.

I’m a bit concerned because being from America, I worry i’d be stuck with someone who has different views and maybe thinks sex is like a horrid thing and embarassed of it.

For reference, i’ve had two girlfriends, one each of a year, and have had sex with them, and that’s it. I don’t do hookup culture, and don’t expect my partner to have zero experience or anything. I just don’t want a girl who sleeps around and has some self respect is all, sex is normal in proper relationships I believe.

Tl:dr Do AM couples usually end up being somewhat active in sex?

My feints tend to work alot better in situations where the defender is jockeying rather than if they hard press the ball

like people sprinting directly at me tend to get me instead of people jockeying

I don't like plastic/rubber logos that we're printed/heat pressed. Anywhere to buy soccer jerseys bayern munich especially with embroidered adidas logo and bayern logo its okay if sponsors are the vinyl.

Bayern’s 3rd black kit has to be the most beautiful thing i’ve ever laid my eyes on. Surpassing jerseys, I genuinely think it’s my favorite shirt of all time.

My question for yall is, do I hang this jersey up, or do I wear it in my day to day? I’ve never really ruined many jerseys but one thing that always happens is the peeling of the sponsor. Usually don’t care much since the embroidered adidas logo, stripes, and bayern icon is still there and can’t peel of course, but i’m stressed that I don’t know how to preserve my jersey if I wear it in my lifetime, and then can’t buy a new one.

tl:dr how can i preserve a jersey for a long time and prevent unraveling or peeling. or should i just hang it up for display?

Unfortunately PT aide’s weren’t really an open spot around me this year. Do you guys know if it’s worthwhile on a application resume to work somewhere else in the health field? Should I be getting an LNA certification or something? Jr going into sr year of undergrad.

Thanks.

As somebody who grew up in the USA, i’m not afraid to say i’m white washed.

But even so, I grew up with nepali parents and some of the culture is very ingrained with me. I do believe I want someone from nepali culture, but I also want them to understand USA’s culture. I want them to be frugal as a nepali person as I am, but also understand references to popular american movies for example. Be able to speak Nepali to my parents, but also listen to english music of some sort.

I guess that’s been a huge worry for me. I stayed away from American women my whole life even though I found them attractive, because my parents said i’d be loosely arranged anyways to somebody from our culture. The issue is that i’m not super Nepali either. I speak enough Nepali for family to understand, and listen to my parents about religious contexts like not eating beef.

And of course, I want to find them attractive. I find the caucasian look attractive growing up around them, body type/face types and believe that i’m not super handsome or whatever, but traditionally attractive. But at the same time, when I went back to Nepal, I didn’t even find one Nepali woman good looking at all. I find Pakistani women beautiful though. I also hope sex isn’t something that’s prudish or off the table. Maybe this part is shallow, but I just wanted to voice some honest concerns.

im a pretty average uni student who usually tends to get around B- to A- as a grade range usually. im stressed out because i genuinely think i cant even pass pt school and am so worried about failing a semester bec the school is already expensive enough. i also really need to get into my one local in state dpt program because i really want to commute to save money. my parents are funding my education right now.

overall just really scared. i’ll admit if i tried harder i would probably get closer to B’s as a minimum but im just so dissuaded by the 130 slide ppt’s and all… sigh

In high school, I was a lb who was the fastest on the team but dribbled out of bounds every time. terrible passes.

at 22 years old, my dribbling has improved so much man. like, my simple plays of passing, dribbling forward, and touch have improved tenfold. im a great basic player.

but im so bad at tech. my through balls aren’t great, my turns arent special, and overall what i’m most upset about is TECH.

Today was my first game playing so great simply, but i’m upset because I can’t incorporate stepovers, cruyff turns, and feints. MAINLY feints. I want to become techier, simple play really feels boring to me. I love watching Michael Olise and he got me back into soccer and I learned how to dribble by jogging/speeding up and he helped me so much. Now for the technical aspect.

edit: I have alot of hours practising the skills. I use cruyff turns so much in practice, its like my default turn. i’ve used Doku’s signature feint in practice alot as well. Can’t incorporate either into real games.

tl:dr How can I move up from basics and start incorporating skills in my turns and feints?

while playing midfield today, some strikers i defended were incredible at cutting the ball. they would cut the ball and somehow id get completely staggered, and for what it’s worth, i used to play left back and in my prime i could definitely defend against this

but playing in a intramural league i feel like knowing how to cut stagger defenders would be perfect. whats the science behind cutting to throw defenders off balance?
