"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I suffered a head injury a few months ago and had some irritation to my eyes afterwards. I went to get it examined at a private clinic that says they specialize in eye problems. They did a lot of tests except for strabismus. Two months later the irritation persists and I went back to the doctor and had them test my eyes again.

When I went back yesterday, they did another test and they said that my eyes are not lined up properly.

Next week I head back to Canada and will see a more competent doctor. I hope I can get this fixed. I was wondering if anyone had some advice for me.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Little do you know that strabismus is actually code for an ability to copy any ninjutsu one sees!

I've had strabismus pretty much since I was born. My right eye is higher than my left, and I mainly see out of my right eye. Whenever eye doctors do that test where you see a box with one eye and a dot in the other and you're supposed to see the dot in the box when you put them together, I always fail.

I never knew strabismus could be brought about by a head injury. For me, it really hasn't affected my life much. My depth perception is probably a little ****tier than average, so it was a little bit of a disadvantage in sports. Other than that, it's been fine. I know surgery can correct the problem, but I never cared enough to really consider it.

I imagine it's rather different having normal eyes and then coming into this condition at age 28. I really don't have any advice...all I can really say is that I don't feel my life is significantly affected by this condition.

I've had it my whole life. I also can't see out of my wandering eye. I agree with the poster above, if you've dealt with it your whole life I guess it doesn't matter as much to you. I did once ask what surgery would cost. It was about 3 grand. So that was a non-starter.

It was A LOT worse when I was younger. I was a goofy looking kid. I didn't start wearing glasses full time until I was about 10 years old. My eyes aligned better after I started wearing glasses full-time. I would look into that as well.
