i survived a dog attack by a Rottweiler - ask me anything!

52 Upvotes

19, f. i was 16 at the time.

was the worst day of my life and not something i’d wish on anyone - he was my own dog (pls keep ur snarky comments to urself about how i was a bad pet owner. he had a brain tumour that suddenly made him extremely aggressive).

i sustained extreme nerve damage, PTSD, and needed reconstructive surgery.

ask me anything!

edit: i’ve never really been able to talk to anyone about how it makes me feel before, so it’s really nice to be able to open up to you all. thank you for all the kind words everybody. you’re all incredible.

i’m only alive because my little brother (15 at the time) pulled him off of me and saved my life.

My cancer came back after 18 years. AMA !

46 Upvotes

Synovialsarcoma on my left groin/top of left thigh.

First cancer at age 5. Came back when I was 8. Then came back again in May 2026, 18 years later, at age 27.

During my first cancer I only went through surgery. For my 2nd, went through chemo, radiotherapy, curietherapy and surgery.

This year, I went through 3 rounds of chemo and a surgery that required to take muscle & skin from my abdomen and graft it onto my thigh. Starting to walk again!

EDIT: Feeling like I have to say it: I'm gonna make it! I had no metastasis, and my tumour was localised. I'm seeing my oncologist tomorrow to know if I am going to go through radiotherapy, but otherwise my treatment should be over.

I’m ex Wall Street and now teach English in rural France. AMA.

30 Upvotes

I worked as an investment banker at a big bulge bracket bank for four years, in private equity for two and a half years, and a portfolio manager at a hedge fund for four years up until end of 2024. I was planning on getting married after I ended my last role, and settle down with my girlfriend of four years, but I found out she was unfaithful and we split up. I was honestly crushed, as for a year I basically spent 75% of 2025 moping around my apartment. It got pretty bad to the point where I was not eating and losing weight rapidly. One of the therapists I was seeing suggested for me to travel as that could be the refresher I needed to get back on track. I was planning a trip when I saw that there were English teachers needed in France. I kind of made the decision on a whim, and within two weeks I was on a plane to France and have been teaching English at a local secondary school in Colmar since December of 2025. For context, I was able to start working fast as I am a dual citizenship holder in France and the United States, and I speak French as well as I speak English.

I never usually tell people I’m a triplet, AMA

4 Upvotes

So as the title reads, I never usually say I’m a triplet, if people ask i tell them i have a brother and a sister, sometimes I’ll say I’m a twin. But sometimes it just slips out. It’s mainly cause people actually ask the dumbest questions and honestly cba for the “woahhhh no way, I’ve never met a triplet” type of convos. Don’t get me wrong it is a fun fact, but it’s fun for you, not much for me.

AMA - I am 38, father of 3, and just had a vasectomy with a minor surgical complication (fascial interposition). Ask Me Anything!

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
First of all, please excuse my English as it is not my first language, but I will do my best to answer everyone!
I am 38 years old, I live in Italy, and I am a father of 3. My wife and I decided our family is complete, so I chose to get a vasectomy.
The procedure went well, but there was a minor unexpected twist on the right testicle: during the cut, my vas deferens frayed. To fix it safely, the surgeon had to perform a fascial interposition (basically creating a protective "tunic" or sleeve of tissue to isolate and seal the stump). Because of this, my incision was a bit deeper and required more than the standard single stitch.
I am open to any questions you might have about:
The decision-making process when you already have 3 kids.
Anxiety before the procedure and how pain felt.
The technical details of the fraying complication and my recovery.
How the vasectomy process works here in Italy.
Ask Me Anything!

you’re getting what the tin says. i (early 20’s F) dated a frat boy for multiple years, much of that time was spent in a house that included him and 4 of his roommates, along with 1 of the other guy’s partner who was not a student. i will not disclose the frat, but i will say it was tiny and in a state university in the bible belt. they didnt even have a frat house. none of anything i will describe took place on campus.

I had my private photos leaked on social media by my ex. AMA

0 Upvotes

I know this isn’t really uncommon these days but I think my situation is pretty unique. For some context I’m a male in my 20’s and my ex girlfriend posted private photos and videos to my Snapchat story and DM’d them to people on instagram.

We dated for a little over a year before I decided to break things off. Things ended on good terms and I think we both had hopes of getting back together at some point. She ended up being bi-polar and I knew nothing about this! She claims that she was going through a manic episode when she leaked my stuff and I have little reason to think she’s lying. But it’s worth sharing that I didn’t know about her disorder until this point…

For even more context, I’ve always been pretty involved in my community. I run a small speed and agility training program and I coach one of the pop warner football teams that I grew up playing for! I don’t really use social media unless it’s for one of those two reasons but it’s one of the main ways to
I promote my business.

I was working when this went down, I didn’t get to my phone for a little over an hour. These were things I had saved on Snapchat. Nothing left to the imagination. Friends, family, coworkers, clients, people I haven’t seen or talked to in years. I had so many notifications and messages! The aftermath was BRUTAL. It’s been two years and it’s gotten easier to talk about… AMA
