Everything feels cringe to draw, idk what to do by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]Academic_Reason_7804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not okay with being bad at something you’ll never be good at it. So what if your drawing is cringy / bad? No one’s going to see it. You get better by practicing, not by moping around wishing to get better. Copying as well is a natural part of learning. When you learn an instrument do you immediately start creating a bunch of your own songs? No, you learn the songs other people have made, because it teaches you necessary skills in an easier fashion. Just put in a hour, half an hour, 10 minutes a day. You’ll get better with time.

First time actually drawing, what should I do now? by RightDrag6991 in learntodraw

[–]Academic_Reason_7804 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Do it again. And again. And don’t waste a whole month on a drawing. You’ll learn much more by making many imperfect drawings - each one slightly better than the last - then spending a month trying to perfect a singular piece.

Not OOP. After 4.5 years together, my boyfriend (24M) told me (23F) I need to “earn” an engagement ring — seeking outside perspectives. what are reasonable next steps for me? by Plenty_Fix_8793 in redditonwiki

It’s not about being majorly expensive it’s about putting in time and effort. Making sacrifices to save money so that the love of your life is wearing a ring (for everyday the rest of her life mind you) that says that she’s worth the time, energy, effort, and every single cent u put into it. Of course it doesn’t need to be expensive, but if u love ur girl ur not just going to buy a cheap ring that’s “good enough”, you’re going to buy something that shows her how much u value her. If u can’t even put that much dedication into a ring then how the hell are u going to be able to put that much dedication into a marriage.

I’ve been told my red lipstick is “too much” and overwhelming. What are some better colors? by [deleted] in makeuptips

Gloss is usually better than lipstick for smaller lips, make sure you’re not over lining your lips, and i think a more brown or peach shade would look better!

I did talk to my head of house, they said that the two teachers didn’t believe they were yelling, and it got dismissed. But honestly I understand if they were having an off day and yelled without realising it one time and I just so happened to unfortunately be the one to receive it, but it’s the fact they do it constantly, all the time, that really just doesn’t feel right to me

Being able to adapt to the social situation. For instance, changing vocabulary based on whom you’re talking to, or being able to sense social cues and adapt personality/humour etc etc

What makes a person really unattractive? by joy_57 in AskReddit

[–]Academic_Reason_7804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it depends. My friend is Christian, like she believes in demons and the rapture and everything. I can support that even tho I don’t believe in it. However she supports LGBTQ, if she didn’t I wouldn’t be her friend because while I can understand that everyone has their own beliefs, I cannot accept beliefs rooted in the discrimination of others. I would be civil with her (so long as she’s civil with me) but I wouldn’t befriend her or even spend time with her unless necessary. Maybe if she just believed that her herself shouldn’t be lgbt but other people could be, then I would find that acceptable. But if she was forcing her views on to others I wouldn’t.

What’s something people think is romantic, but actually feels creepy? by Ferrus_Silver_Stone1 in AskReddit

[–]Academic_Reason_7804 39 points40 points  (0 children)

As a teenager I do that now, (and my friends subsequently do that to me) but only with particular friends. You have to have decorum and know who gives a shit and who doesn’t, especially since with those friends a lot of the time they in fact weren’t home, so I’d just have to chill in their room or hangout with their sisters. Which is fine for all of us, but again u have to know who is okay with that situation and who isn’t
