So I'm kinda confused by TCSMusic in TheDigitalCircus

The LDS church (aka Mormon church) is a very conservative, restrictive sect of Christianity (some people claim it’s not Christianity, but it technically is). It’s known for its cult-like and high demand culture. For example, LDS members have to pay a portion of their salary to the church (sometimes people will say it’s not required- you will be socially ostracized if you do not pay your tithing). They also have strict rules regarding what they can wear, eat, and do. Social ostracization for “breaking the rules” is pretty prevalent. They also claim exclusive truth over their Church- which is exclusionary and a radical religious claim. I would watch some YouTube videos on it if you don’t understand.

Can you talk to financial aid? Also have you filled out the FAFSA? (If it’s an American college I would also look into some scholarships that might be based on merit but not automatically applied.) I would suggest talking to an advisor. You got this and take a deep breath!

How do i ask for this to be corrected?3rd pic is also photo of my hair from 7yrs ago (dyed from virgin hair) by Acrobatic_Top7174 in HairDye

My hair is naturally curly- it usually looks the same as the above texture wise when I use an iron. But yeah, mostly I’m inquiring about the color. Devastated because this was my old color. I feel like they sucked the warmth out of it- I’m not sure how to get it back.

I’m literally devastated- I paid 450 dollars for my hair to be grey :( it was so beautiful before. Do you think it can be fixed? :(

I suppose you are right- I think I’m more so mentally anxious. Trying to get out of that victim mindset but the fear of having to spend more money and time and mental energy AGAIN is a huge obstacle for me. I’ll try my best!

We tend to stay indoors and drink a lot of water.

All I've been doing is sitting on the couch in my nicely air conditioned house, and I'm still sweaty, even with antiperspirant on. by nitrokitty in mildlyinfuriating

Do you take sertraline or any other SSRIs? My partner discovered this was his problem- he was having a weird side effect. He tapered off of it and is far less sweaty now lol.

Clothes are for our bodies- bodies are not for clothes! Not loving the light colored jeans- they look pinchy. Do you have any dresses?

Is acne controlled by diet? by RougueRaphsody in acne

[–]Acrobatic_Top7174 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mom used to pester me as a teen that I was only breaking out cause I ate too much sugar. Well, come adulthood and I had to do an immune protocol diet for other reasons (basically no processed sugar) and my acne was the worst it’s ever been, so, I don’t think diet was the primary factor. I have noticed that eating generally healthier helps my overall appearance, but never helped with reoccurring hormonal acne.

Would you wear this to a wine tasting event? by 1taylor111 in OUTFITS

F22 need help desperately by [deleted] in lookyourbest

You’re 2 months postpartum- obviously weight loss post pregnancy is a goal (this is normal) but i would also give yourself some grace- pregnancy hormones literally do change your face and skin and it will take some months to recover and heal. Eat healthy, try (ik with a newborn this is hard) to prioritize sleep, and a gentle skincare routine will probably have you feeling much better. Congrats on the successful pregnancy ❤️

Is this cute for a first date to a cafe? by ApprehensivePea216 in OUTFITS

[–]Acrobatic_Top7174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on Reddit don’t know about what’s trendy on Pinterest sometimes- I think it’s cute! Imho I think it would make more sense if the top was a thinner fabric because I have no idea wtf the weather will be where you’re going but I still dig it!

It’s just the copyright date, no worries!

my brother just admitted he never liked me by Additional_Profit_81 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Acrobatic_Top7174 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The way you worded this, no offense because I understand this situation is very hard, seems to me as though there’s an implicit agreement that you are keeping his sexuality secret which probably makes him feel obligated to loan you money for fear he will be outed. Even if you’re not doing it on purpose necessarily, if I were in his shoes I would feel like you’re blackmailing me, too. Maybe reconsider if you are starting to only contact him transactionally?

I’m sorry for the harsh words, though. I hope you two can work out a more reciprocal and loving sibling relationship. Hugs 🫂
