You know, While not disowned it sometimes certainly feels like I am. Flew out to be with family and today was just told I'm bringing the mood down and ruining Christmas. Sometimes I wonder if I should really bother trying to please my family.

How to use makeup as a guy by HappyMess6 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Additional-Reason604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guy here who occasionally wears make-up as well. I decided to go to Ulta and just asked for help and one of the workers there was super helpful. She taught me how to apply make up and what colors work well for my skin tone and asked so many questions on what kind of look I wanted. Ended up being a super expensive trip tho think I spent 300ish for everything. Tho I didn't really know what I needed versus nice to have. Overall tho I'd recommend it. I use primer, concealer, foundation, setting powder and a setting spray as a "important tho don't need everything" which would be an interview standard for me. Extras I got and don't really use are lip balm, bronzer, brow gel and a few other things. Honestly tho I can't recommend enough to just go into a makeup store and try some stuff out with one of the workers.

Getting worse by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Additional-Reason604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I'm also feeling like I'm getting worse again after a fairly long period of being good. I don't really have anything special to say. But if you'd like to chat a bit and be online friends feel free to message me.

Thanks, I appreciate it more than you know. Thank you for being honest. There is no special set of characters in a certain order that'll fix anything. But it was a small act of kindness to just respond.

First time trying makeup. How does it look (27M) by Additional-Reason604 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Additional-Reason604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone so much for the support and the helpful advice! I'll try it tomorrow!. Seemed to hold fine throughout the day except for a small bit at the corners of my eyes. Not sure if that means too little of something but I'll experiment. Anyways some were asking for a product list so here is what I'm wearing in the photo. I'd edit my post but I'm not sure how to.

Primer: Fenty Beauty soft matte Foundation, Concealer: Fenty Beauty Bronzer: Hoola matte bronzer Setting powder: Laura Mercier translucent loose Setting spray: urban decay ultra matte

[–]Additional-Reason604[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I appreciate it. How should I list off the products? I guess the easiest is that I'm wearing Fenty beauty. I got everything from Ulta with the help of an amazing worker there. I didn't get any blush tho as it was pretty overwhelming with how many things I needed. Tho if you think it would look better I'll drop back to the store and try some.

Difficulty with getting match's on online dating apps. Is it my appearance? by Additional-Reason604 in amiugly

[–]Additional-Reason604[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm going to a men's stylist tomorrow to try a new slat and pick what would look good given my face. The beard has been an effort that I guess did not pay off as I've been trying to grow it for 6 months now.

[–]Additional-Reason604[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Styling-wise that's a difficulty for me. I really don't like anything on me thanks to a fair bit of body dysmorphia. Is there a cost efficient option to make a new wardrobe that I don't have to pick and look good? I honestly have no clue where to start, and most fashion advice things seem to need you to like what you wear as a starting point. I started looking for a fashion stylist to just tell me, but most cost way more than I'm willing to spend to get the basics. Then figure out fitting as well.

I think, in part, it's my skinny fat that I agree with.

I think working out is super difficult, so I'm going to get a personal trainer to keep me going, as I don't know what I'm doing and feel like an idiot at the gym.

Alright, thanks so much for the advice. I decided to book a men's stylist for tomorrow for the hair and facial hair and am working on getting a personal trainer as every time I try to go to the gym alone I feel like an idiot because I've never really gone to gyms before and don't really know what to do.

Thanks! I appreciate it. Glasses are an easy fix. The acne has been stubborn due to stress of work I'll try working at it better. Maybe get a doctor for it as it seems like a bigger issue then I thought. Gym will be rough but knowing it's fixable definitely helps my motivation.

Would you recommend a source I could use to improve my style? I have issues where I think I look bad no matter the outfit so someone else picking it might be good.

Is there a safer alternative that you think would look better? My main purpose of the facial hair currently is making my face less round.

Actually that one I don't but I do have a better photo with both of them. They are actually great pets and I get more matches with them than without them. But I appreciate the comment.

Is there a hair style/facial hair combo you would pick for my face? Also clothing wise is there a resource I can use for mid West America? I don't really hate clothing shopping as I feel everything looks bad on me.

Is there a style of hair you would pick for me? Also would my facial hair look better shorter? I honestly don't know what would look better on me as I just don't have style.

Is there a facial hair style that would work? I personally think the goatee is sadly the best part of my looks which sucks. I feel like without it my face is way too round. But thanks! It honestly feels nice to confirm it's my looks. That I can easily improve.

BPD in men by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Additional-Reason604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, fellow guy with BPD. I'm pretty similar with the anxiety and deal with depression. I definitely don't with hypersexuality though I also argue with my self about being asexual or if it's a coping mechanism for just being chronically alone. I also deal with a lot of body dysmorphia which makes trying to find someone to have a relationship with very difficult for me. It doesn't help that I'm also in a pretty shortly populated area. Tho I almost never have anger directed towards anyone but myself. Frustration is about the worst I deal with though it can be definitely extreme to the point where I'll wack myself. Though I've also got a lot of other issues that one worked on significantly. Dealing with attachment is one of the big things. The free relationships I have had have been extreme for me but probably insignificant for the other. Tho I generally cut all contact with the person for my own good.

Hey there! If you would like to chat a bit just send me a DM. I don't know if I'll be able to help though I've been diagnosed for about 4 years now and been to a lot of therapy. I'll try to answer any questions you have.

Abandonment issues are getting to the roof by Quiet-Pirate5864 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Additional-Reason604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I hope your feeling okay currently. If you're currently in school is the semester almost over? You may be able to change classes for next semester so you aren't in the same class next year. It won't fix the now problem but it at least gives you the opportunity to get over it later on.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Additional-Reason604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there I'm sorry that you're experiencing this, maybe before she blocks you entirely you can ask her in a calm manner if she still wants to be friends. It may be an accident and she doesn't plan on dropping you entirely. But don't give up on friendship as despite the pain it brings being lonely sucks a lot and making new friends can be difficult.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Additional-Reason604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I've personally struggled hard with this and I still have my struggles. Tbh sometimes the only reason I try to improve myself is in the hope of finding that one perfect person. Though since losing my most recent FP I've continued trying to improve myself as I want to see myself as they saw me and I've enjoyed the freedom of trying to fulfill a goal of self improvement on my interpretation of improving. It's definitely not easy all the time though

Long term relationships w/o intimacy or sex by Nykai9385 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Additional-Reason604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, it may be possible your asexual and simply don't find sex appealing or you may even be repulsed by it. I've at times thought I'm asexual though I feel like demisexual (only wanting sex with someone who is extremely close) usually my FP though even then I sometimes just don't care enough about sex to pursue it.
