          Not at all, dish homie but as a single 35 year old man I have legitimately no answers and certainly not good ones. All I can recommend is talk to people with the relationships you want and try to figure out how they make it work.

          I’ve tried both being emotionally available and being myself rather outwardly unemotional and I’ve been stabbed in the back both ways. I like to think I’m just looking for the wrong people or the wrong people are looking for me but honestly I’m not quite sure.

        I got my front teeth knocked through my upper lip in 2016 and ended up getting paid a handsome sum precisely because it wasn’t my fault, and I got myself two implants, a bridge, and a crown thankfully on the NHS. I was eating those little twiglet pretzel things one day and I suddenly felt an extra object in my mouth; it was the bridge. I couldn’t go to the dentist with the pandemic on and all that so I ended up getting used to it and not getting it seen to until recently. Lots of people told me it was charming to have a gap, some people said they’d get it fixed if they were me, and I managed to conduct a few relationships. Lucky boy, it seems.

          I didn’t get so lucky lol, during the pandemic I lost 20 teeth for a reason I won’t get into. But I essentially had to walk around with no teeth, no denture, nothing for about 3 months while everything healed.
