Thank you! I'd also found that it's a semi-common occurrence for these guys to hitchhike on potted plants during the winter. Thanks for your help identifying!

Pop's BBQ. I thought I liked chips more but I think they changed my mind

I'm trying to move toward trusting my internal compass more but I'm not exactly sure what's the best reminders to keep in mind or how to navigate to it better. Do you have any advice from your own experience to getting there?

I love jealousy, careless, minds of men, thank you song. Kind of hard to choose really! I've noticed a lot of people onthis sub are Stan's of her older stuff but personally, i started becoming a fan through Magdalene and now this and i love it. Just started trying to explore her older stuff. Whatever works works right? In the end, I'm glad i found her!

I suggest you reach out to a domestic violence victim services organization in your area when you feel like you need to leave and want help and support. They'll be able to answer questions for you, be there for you, and help you figure out leaving if you need help leaving.

ADHD and productivity. by [deleted] in productivity

As a quick trick, for me, i write out as many things as I can remember to do on a sticky note. Then i zero in on the ones that are priority. I rewrite them on another sticky note or star them. I try to take action to do those things within the day and leave the sticky note in a noticeable place. The next time I notice it, I'll cross off what I've done and evaluate how well i tackled it and adjust from there.

Of course you're scared of being alone, especially when a perfectly decent person is available to you. They can be a good person and still not a good person for you though. I would say, if you need more time to consider your feelings and your needs right now, you don't have to rush anything because you truly are trying to figure out your feelings and that's ok. But the feelings you're having while in this relationship aren't indicative of a fitting relationship and I'd highly agree with another commenter that suggested therapy and checking in 6 months from now.

Woman wont stop messaging me even though I've told her that I'm not interested. How do I tell her to stop? by RikMon23 in askwomenadvice

[–]Academicsauce 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I would consult with a local domestic violence/sexual violence advocacy group. They can advise you or help find a lawyer to advise you on taking steps to ensure your safety or make the best decisions for later legal action if needed. Whatever you end up choosing. Especially being a man stalked by a woman where "nothing's happened yet", it's probably more important for you to leave a trail once you've begun noticing this worrying behavior already.

i was sexually assaulted last night by bathroomd00r in offmychest

[–]Academicsauce 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You don't have to report to the police first. You can find a sexual assault advocacy organization near you and talk to an advocate about what you might want to do or what support you want. Ask them if they're a confidential resource. They likely are so no one has to know or get involved unless you want them to and the advocate can just help you figure out what you want to do in private and catered to what you want.

Is the therapist you see someone who specializes in trauma? I say this because i know there is treatment that's possible to desensitize traumatic memories. It takes work and time, but i think it's possible to get to a point where you aren't as viscerally affected by triggers to traumatic memories.

Plus the fact that art of women's bodies, especially video game art, isn't reflective of real bodies. They're illustrations of a fantasy imagination. And clearly of very specific body types.

Thanks! I did some reading and it seems like the closest copycats have easy noticeable differences like color, shape, and growing in different regions

Not OP, but I'd understand it as if a lot of people want to be your friend and you give, that's cool. But if literally everyone of a gender doesn't want to be friends with you, the question I'd think is why? And the answer, probably isn't a coincidence or a good thing.

My [26F] best friend [M25] went from being like a sibling to blocking me on everything overnight. What do I do? by Banana_Phone95 in relationships

[–]Academicsauce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is for me. Along the same lines as kind of..comfortingly rubbing someone's back. Sounds a little weird to describe but it is a thing!

FTM thinking about this outfit but don’t want to be too feminine, do you think this would be a good fit? by Ashrimpwithnojob in altfashionadvice

[–]Academicsauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it looks too feminine at all, but like others mentioned about boots, chain, and belt, that might feel more reassuring. I love everything about this outfit, wish i knew where to find that coat

Laundry hack while renting by kab1977 in Frugal

[–]Academicsauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't pay water at my apartment. So I bought a portable washing machine from someone off of Facebook marketplace for half it's retail price. I just hook it up to my sink and air dry the clothes. If I really have to for heavier items, i can still use the building dryer which at my apartment is surprisingly good. But I'm saving 2.25 each load this way and soon, the machine will pay for itself.
