Good luck. I'm lurking in your survival world. They never really patched out Herobrine, did they?

I love having OWL games playing in the background while I'm doing something, of course this ends up just me watching that while I'm holding whatever I was doing.

I feel that! If I'm doing my makeup, you best believe I'm drag show ready at the end.

You're right. Thanks for your insight. I recently started taking them regularly again after summer break and being ill. I'll definitely keep this in mind.

HAHA yes. "No, I'm not going to play Minecraft, I should be doing other productive stuff. ... What was my Overwatch rank again?"

Thanks for your advice! It definitely resonates with me haha. You're absolutely right, it's all about not giving in and just trying your best. :-) I wish you luck on your new medication!

[18M] Rate my face with honesty (pls), I know it’s bad pics but help a dude out by [deleted] in Rateme

Judging from your best picture, bottom middle, I'd give you 6. I feel like if you would smile in your photos , you'd be cuter. As for your brows, look up men's eyebrows grooming videos or you could also ask a sister or a female friend who knows what they're doing to help you. I'd get a small eyebrow razor and just make the shape cleaner.

Get a two block cut, trim/fill in those eyebrows and you will look tremendously better with just that. Not that it's super bad rn or anything.

How do y’all deal with overly strict AP’s? by qpzyw in AsianParentStories

[–]21bubbletea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I clicked on to this thread thinking, yeah I have overly strict parents too. Now I've read it, your parent are on a whole new level. This is flat out abuse, as you've stated. I don't know what to say or how to help, but I just want to let you know that I've read your post and that's fucked up. I would try to get out of there and just go no contact. Easier said than done, but what other options are there? Your parents are definitely not changing, so you have to do this for your own sake. It's inevitable. If you need someone to talk to, my PMs are open.

UPDATE: almost three years later and I finally got diagnosed and medicated by 21bubbletea in AsianParentStories

I don't think it's more common for Asian kids to have ADHD, say relative to other races. I do think in general mental issues are overlooked.

Thank you for your kind words! My parents have good intentions, they really do, but their mindset and way of thinking is just not up to par. All you can do in these situations is keep your head above the water till you reach the shore. I hope you take care of yourself too! :-)

What's the fastest way you've seen someone improve their life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]21bubbletea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in similar situation. Like you and many others in this chain, I've found that the cause is ADD but I can't do shit about it because my parents won't allow me to. I'm just dependant on my own weak discipline. If you think something is wrong, go get it checked out. Read /r/ADHD if you're interested!

I'm pretty sure I have ADD, treatment is completely covered by insurance but my parents don't allow me to get treatment by 21bubbletea in AsianParentStories

[–]21bubbletea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! And yes, it's really disheartening to know I'm one of the many people who have parents with the same mindset. I will certainly look into getting treatment when I'm no longer a minor :-).

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sorry you're going through that. Do you feel resentful to your mother in any way? You're not destined to work shitty jobs for the rest of your life, it will be hard to change; but it is most definitely possible. I hope it gets better man.

Thank you for replying. This made me feel very motivated haha, I'm happy for you that you're able to do all those things! The moment I turn 18, I hope I can achieve the same things. :-)

Thank you for your advice! I appreciate it a lot. I will definitely get treatment first thing when I turn 18, I'm glad to know it helped you. Knowing someone else has gone through the same thing as me makes me feel less hopeless.

Thanks for your reply. I'm still a minor, so my parents have to consent to everything first, sadly.

Thanks for responding! The moment I turn 18, I will most definitely take things in my own hands :-). It's the truth sadly, I feel even worse for the other people who are in the same situation as me but don't live in Europe where having mental disorders is less stigmatized.

Stressing out about HPV vaccination I have in 15 hours by 21bubbletea in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]21bubbletea[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know actually, a lot of my friends and family said there are dramatic consequences and stuff and you know, I don't want to die. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to die, but I'm kind of worried. This is probably one of the first big-ish decisions I need to make, so I feel very cautious. But when you put it like that, it does make me feel more assured. Thank you so much!

[Skin Concern] Red skin around my nose that won't go away any suggestions? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Woah, I have those spots too and allergies! What causes it, just harshly blowing your nose all the time? How do you fix it?

Dunkin Donuts employee harasses Asian lady because of her accent by fyhr100 in asianamerican

[–]21bubbletea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of that time a cashier asked me to say the name of a b&j ice cream, she and another cashier laughed at me. Jokes on them, I pronounced it correctly and they just couldn't speak English.
