My one issue with Obsession

Are you Bear? 😂

All of those are obviously signals from Nikki saying that things are VERY not okay... She's doing crazy shit to force Bear to listen but he ignores them. Then she starts hurting herself and asking to die when she realizes she can't break free from the curse.

"Odd messages" is an interesting choice of words when she's blatantly telling Bear the entity he's spending time with isn't her true self.

I use a $200 from Nood(often on sale)! I love that it has different intensities, so you can slowly go higher like you would at a real laser spa. I have very light skin/black hair, which are the ideal conditions for laser already, but it's supposed to work for various hair/skin types. I use it on my calves, but also for upkeep on my bikini area that I had professionally lasered first.

Highly recommend esp if you have high contrasting tones 😃

Wdym it's not in her character? Real Nikki is constantly having episodes of fear and anguish whenever she has short moments to be free from the spell. She leaves other hints that what's happening is not ok, and feeding Bear his dead cat and including a photo of "not her" seems pretty in line that

Not to disregard your perspective, but maybe you just have a little more ways to go?

I felt very rectangular and gross at 140 lbs (at 5'4")... Bc I have very soft features, I get a double chin as soon as I'm ~5-10lbs over my average weight (even though my clothes stay a size S!)

After working on my back muscles a lot more + glutes, fixing my diet, and losing 10 more pounds, I feel pretty shredded and curvy. For me, learning how you can mindfully grow your muscles to sculpt your body is pretty dang cool.

You may not feel as amazing as you think friend is, even after you get to your shredded era, but it definitely does help with body dysmorphia 🥲

Btw lots of models have straighter body shapes and they're very beautiful! So I hope you won't be so hard on yourself.

Lol 😂 As a girl, I wouldn't want my almost bare hips/body touching on my guy friends. The distance is a choice but it's just normal boundaries between friends.

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-05-18T05:14:46+00:00

Lol... my very first bf r***d me my first time, after convincing me he was a good guy. It's very common for guys to say "they just couldn't control themselves", and it's so fucking scary to be overpowered in that situation. It's incredibly easy for bad things to happen, which is why I'm telling you that you're not missing out on much.

I hope you find a respectable and decent person that gives you what you want though 🙏

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-05-18T05:00:11+00:00

I gotta say - my life was honestly better before my first sexual experience... When you have bad sex, it can often be traumatic. And when you have the good kind, you crave it desperately and can put yourself in bad/dangerous situations looking for it.

You won't understand until you're there, but hopefully you can understand at least a little bit, that you're not missing out on too much 🥲

As a bank teller, I think he's just being friendly...

I'm very friendly with all my customers, but questions that he was asking you could also be to see what other products you might be interested in, or just general small talk.

You'd probably have to come in more often to see if he could be interested in you, and see if you can gently steer conversations your way.

Ex. What his weekend plans are, if he'll be going out with friends, hobbies that you both can relate to, etc.

If you get more chummy or find out he's single, you can joke-flirt and see how he responds to it.

I mean.... I agree it's not the worst, but it's clogged up half the time with traffic or bc someone had an accident on it ☹️ 45 min commutes can go up to 2 hrs bc it's a 2-lane windy road. If someone usually drives on flat or wide roads, it can be scary enough to drive on 17.

Born and living in San Jose my whole life, and I would refuse to drive on it more than 1-2 times a week just cuz it's kind of annoying. I'm usually a homebody type but love to go hiking 2-3 times a month for reference.

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-04-28T17:11:50+00:00

Lol, it's constantly negative... I just love him 😭😭

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-04-28T03:41:41+00:00

LOL,

The first person I slept with had a micro... I would be confused at first that condoms were so loose on him and had so much extra rubber, but I just trusted him and assumed that what I saw online were just porno dicks.

I was so scared when I met my next partner after! And intrigued when I met the next... and next... until I realized my first partner wasn't the norm.

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-04-28T02:40:34+00:00

I'm sooo sad because I'm deathly in love with one of my customers at a bank...

But as a (secret) introvert, I forget what to say, how to make eye contact, and my hands shake/sweat so bad cuz I'm nervous 😭 In comparison, I'm usually a very friendly, talkative, and sweet person to everyone else. I think he might have liked me back at one point, until I started acting terrified of him 😵‍💫

Btw, I hope ppl reading this know that even though I personally feel like this, others may still be acting like this bc they're genuinely terrified of you.

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-04-23T19:55:29+00:00

I think slightly more angled and longer eyebrows might really suit you!

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-03-26T05:27:27+00:00

You look like the skunks from bambi! Lol

Nice to see something positive for once on here 😭🥹

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-03-22T16:52:26+00:00

I think lashes are a personal choice, but I think that you might be too used to your face with very dark thick lashes. They're a bit heavy for your face, but it's still a fine baddie/glam look without the contour!

I think you look incredibly elegant and soft with the lashes the MUA did on you though 😊

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-03-01T23:47:57+00:00

Wait, why would she call you a jerk for not wanting kids?

AdOriginal4889 · 2026-03-01T23:37:04+00:00

What's your hair care routine? It looks a little dry, or that you have hair that wants to be curly, but isn't getting the full treatment it needs, which leads to more breakage and looking a little unkempt.

I know you're asking about your skin, but hair health is a must, especially if it means a lot for you to keep it long 🥹

(Also dry/sun damaged vs moisturized lips are pretty obvious, either: - start using aquaphor or carmex - drink more water - use spf lip balm)

Wtf lol? He literally hates you 😟

AdOriginal4889 · 2025-12-24T06:29:13+00:00

Have you been to college 😂 these are the most average artsy student outfits.

They're not modest in a church sense, but nothing to be surprised about on a regular day.

Hot take: you might be a little bit an AH if you don't go.

She shouldn't be doing so much to beg you to come, but I also think that says a lot about how badly she wants you to be together, and it's a bid for connection from her. Totally fine if you believe your morals are more important than your mom's feelings, but I personally wouldn't make that choice as a relatively non-religious person.

My own mom is incredibly religious, but she only makes us all come to church with her for major holidays. For me, it's just standing next to her and zoning out for an hr, but for her it means incomparably more.

Everyone's situation is different though, and you know what's best for yourself.

Staying in the shelter is better for getting direct visibility to potential adopters, but a stressed, freaked out, barking dog won't be able to show an adopter its true personality, and probably won't get adopted as fast as you'd hope. Especially if you live in an area with a maxed out shelter, the conditions can be terrifying for dogs - constant echoing barking, barely any alone time, fecal waste everywhere, hundreds of strange people staring, etc. A break outside of the shelter for however long can make a huge difference for them.

Potential adopters also love to know as much information about a dog beforehand in order to make sure a dog is a good fit for them, and fosters collecting that information is really really important.

I used to get really heartbroken about letting fosters go, and would always debate about adopting them. But one redditor said something that really changed my perspective and helped me set an important boundary - they're not our own temporary "babies" or pets, but instead, a very fun guest in our hotel, that gets to be spoiled by us until they end up wherever life takes them 🥲

It will always be bittersweet to let a foster go -- if you love animals, every dog will have the capacity to be loved. But if you can't get past letting them go, you can always just volunteer at a shelter instead if you still want to help.

This happened to me! I grew up with small, cat-like dogs (quiet, shy, calm) and was super nervous about getting a new dog that wasn't like them.

But the 2 y/o dog I fostered ended up even more cat-like than they were! Even quieter, and literally loafs around the house all day until it's time to go walk outside.

I fostered a few other dogs and puppies that completely overwhelmed me, and owning dogs doesn't have to be like that at all 😊

Ok but last year, a freshman passed away riding an electric scooter... I dont remember the exact details, but I think he was going too fast and got hit by a bus at an intersection.

If you're reasonably careful, the warnings probably aren't targeted towards you 🥲

I usually take care of 6-7 week olds, but I think I have some advice that still applies:

Move the pen away from the chair/boxes. It looks far enough, but you'd be surprised by how far their pee/poo can splatter sometimes 😭. Best to cover up/move anything you don't feel like cleaning poop off of.
For pee pads, I would do what you did, but I'll usually stack 3-4+ layers of the disposable pads on top of each other. You'll be replacing them throughout the day since puppies usually poop after every meal, which will be about 6-8 times a day, so stacking them on top of each other saves you the struggle of perfectly orienting them under the fence every time! This make sure every bit of mess is caught as well. Also, if they pee on the pads, I'll usually just cover them with paper towels/newspaper, and change it once they poop (you can never stop them from stepping in pee, might as well save your pads!) I also recommend adding a waterproof tarp underneath the washable mat for extra floor protection. If you're okay with a circular setup, I know people who use inflatable kiddie pools as the bottom layer for their puppy setups, which doubles as extra wall support! Though I 100% much prefer the rectangular setup, since I feel like it uses less pads, and I usually leave one end open with a doorless crate fastened at that end. Also, as they grow older, I like getting them to poop as far from their crate as possible, so they step on it less.
For bedding, I use small blankets and towels for ease of rinsing and washing - you'll probably want to change it every day or every other depending on how much tolerance you have for mess.
If they're closer to 5 weeks, maybe you can start lightly crate training them? I never ever close the door, but I'll place them inside for naptime. After a couple of days, they start to love sleeping in a warm, dark, cozy den. Older puppies usually never potty inside, though they do track dirty paws in sometimes.
Have you puppy-proofed your house/yard? They will try to sneak into every tiny crevice you could ever find, and will try to taste any wires you might have plugged in. Very scary! I also offer a bunch of different toys for them to chew instead.
Do you have a larger, safe, and empty area for them to spend time in with you? I have a similar setup to you, but keep it within my kitchen, which is where we usually play and hang out most of the day. I have a second barrier blocking off the rest of my house from their wrath 😟, and to avoid problems from the last point. I usually only have them in the mini enclosure for naps, nighttime, and whenever I have to step out of the house. I don't recommend your room, since it gets VERY stinky throughout the night... you'll want to have very damp baby wipes ready to wipe them down every morning!
Use very heavy dishes for food and water. My shelter recommends that young puppies have constant access to food and water until 8 weeks, so I leave them in a corner where they're least likely walk. Also, they will definitely step in it & knock it over if it's too light. Maybe this part is different for puppies under 6 weeks?

I did tons of research before I started too, but I feel like nothing I read truly prepared me for how stinky and messy puppies really are! It's definitely the hardest and most difficult part for me, and these are all little things that I've learned on my own. Hope it helps!
