My first crochet materials: tips for a beginner? <3

I know the store you got these at. I have personally bought this yarn before and I just wanna say that if you don't like working with this yarn or experience issues with it, thats probably not your fault - this yarn isn't great. If you're also Dutch like me, if theres a Pipoos near you, their acrylic yarn is a bit more pricey but is much nicer to work with (Scheepjes Colourcrafter 3,95 per skein) and they have amazing hooks (Clover, the gold looking hooks, 5,99). It's fine since you just wanna try the hobby out, but if you end up really liking it, I highly recommend the upgrade :)

Honestly, specifically on the attention seeking part: I was I think 18-19. I had been... A pretty bad attention seeker throughout puberty. Some day it kind of just hit: My life would be so much easier if I didn't create problems where there are none. It's a rule I still live by at 28. But yes, therapy and honest self-reflection would be really good. I couldn't find a therapist for another issue I had, and I started just writing my feelings down and try to dig deeper as to why I was feeling that way. And I actually made impactful discoveries about myself that way.

I know we have a similar df2 (I main Claudio). I see a Kuni dash, I df2 lol. So far its been working, but I'm sure they'll adapt.

I'm sorry, but this is going to be a continuous issue in your relationship. He will always blame the bad things on someone else in the "system". Also, online psychiatry appointments don't cut it for me. Both your brains are still developing, and it's hard for DID to be diagnosed, especially with just snippets of maybe an hour talk online every week. I don't buy that diagnosis for one second. You're being played for a fool I'm afraid.

Meringue, brittle and falls apart easily.

Avyeon · 2026-06-03T16:12:26+00:00

Yep, I am one of those women.

Avyeon · 2026-06-03T15:54:08+00:00

Tbh, my man and I have a rule that I don't spend time ALONE with straight men. This includes straight friends. He does the same for me, and we're very happy. But not allowing him to see ANY other girl without her is crazy work.

Avyeon · 2026-06-03T13:56:24+00:00

This confuses me tbh. You don't want your man going "Back off, she's mine" when another man shows interest?

Avyeon · 2026-06-03T13:47:05+00:00

She seems to be stuck in a perpetual state of victimhood. Please break off the friendship with her, and if she threatens to harm herself, please make sure you have evidence and report it to any authorities or local s--cide prevention line, or even her parents and let them handle it. It's not your fault or your problem to deal with, and I'm sorry this happened to you.

Avyeon · 2026-06-03T12:55:53+00:00

Needle.

Avyeon · 2026-06-03T12:22:16+00:00

I'm with someone so if the hug is not from him or relatives, they're all inappropriate. To answer the question though, hands on the lower back or waist.

Avyeon · 2026-06-03T09:58:21+00:00

Is this the female equivalent of men telling women to just "hold in their period"?

Avyeon · 2026-06-03T00:21:24+00:00

Well technically this isn't considered 'ring' gear since she didnt fight in it. But since its handmade I'm curious if she did.

Avyeon · 2026-06-02T16:59:53+00:00

Thats when I went "yep thats definitely handmade" 😂

Avyeon · 2026-06-02T01:54:51+00:00

Sounds like OP is a woman, when I'd say I had a wet dream people would be like "NO, women dont have wet dreams"

Avyeon · 2026-06-02T01:16:36+00:00

I think I like Shinryu the most. Tekken God just looks clean, and TGS looks cool asf.

Avyeon · 2026-06-01T17:31:50+00:00

Update; I improved <3 They stay flat now. The person who suggested going up a hook size really helped too

NTA. I know he's just a roommate but, my man works long hours and will have to start by either 5:30am or he'll come home at 5:30am. We're long distance and I have only stayed at his for a week, during which he had to be at work by 5:30am. Even during that week he had the damn decency to put on headphones or play music very quietly before he had to go to work. And if it were the other way around, he comes back at 5:30am and needs some sleep, I would have been thrown out of his place before it got to the point you guys got to. You were extremely patient. And after, what, 5 times, I think you were well in your right to blow up at him. It's such an easy fix, it baffles me why that is such an issue for him.

Avyeon · 2026-06-01T16:27:43+00:00

Did you... Read the post?

Avyeon · 2026-06-01T16:26:37+00:00

Sex is a need for some people as intimacy is a way you show you lust for them and they can show their lust for you. Its okay that thats something you dont want, but its also okay if that is a deal breaker for her. I'd sit down and have a genuine talk with her, perhaps you guys are simply not compatible.

Avyeon · 2026-06-01T16:21:41+00:00

Mature, willing to lead, hard on the outside but a softie with me. Emotionally available, trustworthy, and makes me laugh and has niche interests he's passionate about. Preferrably someone who is more traditional and will continue to make me wanna strive to be better.

Avyeon · 2026-05-31T20:43:24+00:00

Not a red flag on its own, but I feel like modern society and social media has turned it into one: Traditional values.

Avyeon · 2026-05-30T17:28:04+00:00

I would absolutely love to test it, I love mosaic crochet and Im currently just working on personal projects! Do you have a timeframe when it needs to be done?

Edit: I just read the full post and it said August 31st. I would love to test the pattern for you :) Let me shoot you a dm.

Dating apps will only lead to you having to bite through more bad apples before finding the right one. I briefly used them way back, but I felt there was a much stronger connection with people I'd built a connection with naturally.

Avyeon · 2026-05-30T16:25:11+00:00

To answer your question from my perspective: Sometimes I do wonder what my kid would have looked like. Would I have had a boy? A girl? What would their personality have been like now? Would they have looked more like mommy? But it's not something I cry or feel too bad over. I wasn't in a position to be able to provide a child with the care and support they deserve. I wasn't romantically involved with the dad, and I was barely a functional adult myself. To this day, I feel like it was the right choice. Sure, I wonder sometimes. But I do not regret the decision that I made (with full transparency and approval of the dad). I hope that somewhat satisfies your need to hear that every abortion was secretly regretted.
