New to pool swimming

Hello am 18y old male

Ofc ik basic swimming and free style swimming and i swim on the Mediterranean Sea every summer since I was like 7

But i started recently swimming because of back pains and posture + to lose weight because am fat ( 32% bodyfat) for 114.8kg with 77kg lean mass and 187cm height ( still growing tho)

I swim 2 times per week

What should I learn ?

Also idk if this helps but I heared shoulders are an advantage on swimming because last time I raced a casual there and I won

I have 53cm bidlet and 19cm each clavicule ( straight line)

The Biological Clock: Dental Age vs. Skeletal Age

To tired to say a lot but that where my curiosity took me lol

I myself have about 3.5 years delayed dental maturity but 0 idea about skeletal maturity ( still gained 3 inches at 18 and still growing) idk but for me i think that study is correct but I have an uneasy feeling the colleration might be way under 70% idk why

I am interested on what thr mods will say

u/sigma-medyax — 11 days ago

Can dental maturity delay suggest skeletal maturity delay?

I had a dental delay of 3.5-4 years since I kept loosing amd replacing my baby teeths until age 16 (like shown in the picture) ( couldn't send it because of rule 10 but i had normal tooths forming under milk thooths at end 15/16 )

and I read on google most people stop this process completely at age 12-13 and even 14 for late bloomers

But i couldn't find the colleration rate between both skeletal and dental maturity

Nighter i found cases of people loosing it until

16

So how much in percentage is the colleration and does it have to do with my recent 7cm spurt at near 18 to 18 ?

Biology isnt always right

Well everyone told me i stoped growing in my early 16 when I was 180cm (5'11) because since then I didn't grow for nearly 2 years until nearly 18 and everyone assumed I was done for but from 17y9months to now 18y1months I grew 6.5cm within 4 months and I became 186.5 cm also rivalising my old peak of 6.5cm in a year from 13 to 14

And I will for sure grow more this year soo when was my true peak ? My height midpoint is 180cm with the known method of (parents height +13 )/2

Am genuinely lost and idk what I have until now

​

Well am very tired writing this because I cant even remember everything properly and also I didnt know where to post this until now i found it but I have been told/diagnosed with focal ( partial) epilepsy so no I don't have any of these episodes i hear you talking about but my case is very shit and wasted me the most valuable year of my life especially when I had one of the most important national exam of my life + I am entering adulthood in 2 weeks from now

Well lets start :

Rn it 13:34 pm

Firstly I was somone that always like to develop my skills and competences like languages ect Also i am somone that encourage intelligence and intellectual hobbies and like to solve complex problems and also scored 142 iq on FRI on the official Norway mensa test last summer when I turned 17

And was always a guy that like to understand the physics of the universe and the logic behind it

Okay then I will start what happned to me

First last summer by end of July ( 2025) I was in a trip at Paris but after few days I didnt felt well i felt like my head was not feeling good when there was noise or people talking like a feeling of deep annoyance but my head wasn't hurting it just like I couldn't handle the noise but I didnt paid attention to it

After a month by end of august or beggining of September in 1 or 2 days I felt like a sharp crashout in cognitive abilities I lost a lot of attention and couldn't focus on anything and also mentally very very slow and not understanding anything even the slightest thing like if somone tells me to stand up i take 3 seconds to comprehend but I said maybe it sleep or something but I would be fine with the end of the week so I started sleeping the most i can but after a month I didn't improve a bit and even people around me noticed it ( also no it not stress am not somone that stress easily it my nature even when things are going absolutely nuts) so after a month I started looking online for what was that and even used ai like chatgpt but they all said the same thing ( life hygiene) mine wasn't the best But wasn't the worst but I still tried to improve it and it improved a bit but my brain was still drained as much as before then 2 months passed on ( I didn't tried to overthink it but it was affecting me a lot in daily life and studies) I was really not feeling well at all because I felt like I lost something that was once my main power ) I started having sleep problems i was feeling tired but couldn't sleep sometimes I feel very tired but sleep until 2 to 3 am one day until 5am and I kept having them daily and I felt my brain got worse not like sleep affected it but I think it thr other way around like my brain affected my sleep and I was feeling like my bi frontals were burning not a lot of hadaches but I felt there was something frying there

And I was not able to do anything like my bones started hurting I never got bones problems I always had solid bones and I couldn't exercise at all and lost a lot of progress I have made and even my emotions became more impulsive and I felt anger for mo reason h24 ( am pretty much sure it because of school because I couldn't handle noise but school had a lot of noise ) because now I feek better but still impulsive and reckless descion maker ect ect

I also lost alk my skills i tried to practise them but my lack of focus and comprehension made them sink away and I forgot a lot of things and even memories recently I started forgetting a lot of past stuff

Then this June I went to a neurologist after my exams were over because after 4 days if my final exam something unexpected happned is that I got a second crash down of cognitive abilities ( I never healed from thr first one but this one got added up on the top) but most importantly my view got reduced a brutal scale and I have until now a bad view

Also I got the javksonion march vibrations this year easspicially this summer they increased

And my family finally stoped saying it stress ect and told me we need a neurologist

I went to the neurologist and she told us that this case is very bad and I gotta act very quickly so I did a brain MRI first I found out I have an inflammation on my left optic nerve and after that I did an EEG where I discovered I have an irritation in the bi frontal areas of ny brain without crises

Also it explains everything because that area is responsible for every cognitive ability + sleep problems +some emotional problems

After that they told me i have focal epilepsy without real or mini crises of absence because something important i didnt say is that every time I wanna do something that requires attention I just cant and my mind doesn't think of anything not even a single thought sometimes I feel like I was into nothingness for like a hour but when I check time it 3h passes easspicially at studying I couldn't study at alk this year because of that I didn't study a single thing because I always fade away but it not really an episode because am still concious but even after I become in a mode of nom fading and try to re start focusing I fade again into nothingness and cant even think inside it a romdom thing not like my mind take me somewhere else

It take me to nowhere

After that I did a spinal cord MRI I have nothing everything is good

And 3 days ago I re did an EEG for a second time we will see in 2 days what will happen

Current time: 16h49

Just i did time so u can know how much I wasted here because everytime I wanna remember or focus on anything I fade away abit

( i forgot at what time I started but I think it have been 3h)

Ofc I didn't said everything it was worse then that but those are the core ideas

Thanks for listening to me

I did this test last summer when I just turned 17

It the Norway online official iq test but no idea how accurate it is

Also unfortunately I cant take any mew iq tests because at the end of that summer I fell sick from my brain and until now I didnt healed yet and it coasted me to have a brutal crash down on my cognitive abilities

Short people wrath

Just to clarify things:

-Am not generalising but I had to talk abiut it after the insanity I observed

- am not very tall myself ( 185cm/6'1)

-am gonna talk about both irl and internet experiences but easspicially internet

So:

First thing is that my country avreage is 170-174cm ( 5'6"5 to 5"8)

And am 185cm( 6'1)

A lot of time when am walking outside some people tell me to stop widening myself out of the blue ( i swear it real) they want me to walk with a bad posture snd to stop walking with a more relaxed frame and always befire they speak they give me that side eye and most of short people here as fast as a misunderstanding happens or something bangle they wanna fight and tell me to ( dont get cocky because of your size i can still blah blah blah)

Like bro 😭 why they are so angry

But irl is no way near online

I am somone that is on a growth spurt ( late bloomer at 18) and am interested in heightmaxing and diffrent opinions and I have some decent amount of knowledge and I try to help people and hear diffrent cases so i joined the short subreddit but I lowk regret it since I got banned for no logical reason ( stated my height on a comment which I was helping people ) and the moderator was super rude to me in dms and told me a not welcome there and got banned for life ( am 6'1) thanks i will wonder here it better in general and people doesnt hate me for no reason and thats why I cant post this there + will for sure get banned after it

Another thing is discord I joined 2 heightmaxing server but things were worst then here ( 1st one got banned instantly after they asked for my height)

And second one they asked about my height and when I said 185cm they started insulting and saying why I was there on the first place and I dont respect them and I wanna troll ect and when I tried to defend myself like bro I was just breathing and ended up 185 not ny fault they said thats disrespect for the shorts ( most of them are above 16 btw) and they said aome shi loke I gotta roll in hell and suffering my whole life and I was offline for a while then I saw +500 messages some said i have an insecurity issue and I wanna inflict it on them like I just stated my height bro and how there us something wrong with me to bot be able to get girls at 185cm ( never talked about girls btw) and I mist be very ugly ect

And i told them thry are envious they said nah ect and they are not but if you scroll a bit on messages u can see them talking about their jealousy and how they hate see people growing and they generalised against tall people that they are ugly and coxky and doesn't deserve those social advantages

I have proofs if anyone wanna see

( ofc they said more but I dont wanna type here forever just a quick post for karma points lol)
