I don’t like squatting because I know it will make me light-headed and dizzy everytime. No matter now slow I stand up, happens every time:

Ha, as I've gotten older I've noticed the same thing. I still go down to the squat though, I won't let it rule my life.

How often do you do it? Do you exercise otherwise? I’m tall af and I’ll get dizzy standing up normally so fuck it, I’ma try this because it’s not gunna get worse and consistent practice may actually help.

Squat like the man in the picture? Rarely. I can do squats, as in the exercise without feeling that way.

I’m on the short side of average and it happens to me when sittings sometimes.

I used to exercise quite a bit, but I haven’t been as much lately and I’ve definitely gained a little weight. I’m sure that’s part of the problem.

Also, I really like your name, Soup.

I didn’t know what to call the owl thing in Monster Hunter: Rise and was like “Fuck I dunno uhhhhhhhh Soup sounds good”. So that’s that haha

Soup was the name of the secondary main character in a series written by Robert Newton Peck. The first book shared the name of the deuteragonist. I haven't read them since I was in 1st or 2nd grade, but they were amusing at the time. Kind of a more modern (this would have been at the tail end of the '80s when I was reading them) Tom Sawyer.

I just didn’t know what to name a follower in a video game and jumped to “Soup” for whatever reason so that’s what we’re working with lol
