"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Just like many athlets I find myself blessed with those both in the upper and the lower back plus many muscular contractions due to psychological stress and falling countless times during MMA trainings.

I heard that the light ones fix themselves as long as you stop the behaviour that created them while the heavy ones stay with you forever and may even need medical approaches in the long run.

Any of you experienced those or is informed about the subject?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Hmm...I am not sure exactly what you are referring to...is this something similar to Cauliflower Ears but on your back?

I would gladly trade protrusions for cauliflower ears cause the first ones are damages related to overloading the backbone or repeating some wrong movements while the second ones are visual at most.

I believe in my case an overtight trapezius complicated the whole thing.

Cauliflowers just need a syringe right after or a minor surgency later on but nothing too serious.

Never experienced this but sometimes when I'm really stressed out i'll get some eye flutters/flickers under my eye or eyelid. I would suggest checking your blood pressure regularly and mineral levels if you are getting serious contractions in muscles, and especially regular cramps.

Stress and blood pressure/hypertension are quite relative
