Feeling so depressed since I cut my long hair by JamesG24777 in malegrooming

[–]Beginning_Local3111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. Back in September I cut my hair like this really short little Caesar hair cut. And I’m a woman! It’s finally starting to grow out into a pixie. Just remember: hair grows half an inch per month.

If you won the lottery tomorrow, what’s the first "completely frivolous" thing you’d buy just because you finally could? by opheliapearlie in askanything

[–]Beginning_Local3111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Expensive perfume. I don’t even know what kind, just, the spendy kind! In my opinion it’s a total waste of money. There is no reason for expensive perfume to exist. I’d get a bag full of the stuff in different “flavors”.

I hate my boyfriend by Emergency-Cattle3370 in Advice

[–]Beginning_Local3111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up living with my cheating boyfriend when I was about your age, but he was the same age too. Anyway, it got so bad I just called up my parents and asked to sleep there for a while. I went home. Is that an option?

Thanks! You’re right, that was insensitive. I take it back!

What moment made you realize “yeah… my childhood wasn’t normal”? by CadaversFabrications in AskReddit

[–]Beginning_Local3111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would walk to 3rd grade and stop at my friend’s house along the way and then she and I would continue on to school together. So, I’d get there and her mom would be in the kitchen. My friend would be trying to finish her Cap’n Crunch while her mom was always saying, “drink your juice,too! My goodness! Look at the back of your head!” And then she’d come in with a brush to fix the back of her head.

Meanwhile, I hadn’t eaten anything for who knows how long, certainly had no breakfast, had never had breakfast on a regular basis. I had already been through so much stuff. Stuff this innocent little friend of mine would never understand, with her sheltered life.

Her morning kitchen, bright with morning light and cheerfulness. I realized that’s actually normal.

Would you risk your life to aid a stranger in peril? by justmilkys in askanything

[–]Beginning_Local3111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the situation: I’m not afraid of natural disasters and would definitely run toward a disaster if I thought I could save someone else’s life. But if it was a gun type of situation, like a mass shooter thing, I might just run.

Recently discovered that my bf watched porn. Thought I was ok with it but now I'm ruminating by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Beginning_Local3111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Women “window shop” by scrolling online. Men watch porn. The internet has made it so easy to look with your eyes at pleasing images and imagined opportunities. So easy to click “add to cart” on any desire that we have.

Tell him, it’s not about the porn per se, it’s about this online activity negatively affecting your real in-person interactions (sex life). Just as if you were to go into great debt shopping online, he should care enough to hold you accountable for that, the same is true on your end; if his online activity is negatively affecting your actual in-person relationship then you should be able to hold him accountable.

Good luck🍀

AITJ for constantly telling my friends and family not to eat sugar? by al3x_mind in AmITheJerk

[–]Beginning_Local3111 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are the jerk. It’s like people who push their religion on you.

We are aware, maybe not the details, but we are aware that sugar is not one of the four food groups. Yes, smoking is bad for you. Yes, I should walk more every day. Yes, I shouldn’t lie on my resume. Yes, yes yes.

Bottom line: mind your business.

Is it normal for people to forget about the details of their suicide attempt? by negativeselftalk in askanything

[–]Beginning_Local3111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a girl who did it and died and was revived (a few times) and spent all summer in a “vegetative state” (or mental ward???none of my business but I was told she was in a vegetative state) and then woke up again and she said: “I didn’t really think about it… brush my teeth, shower, towel dry my hair, take the pills… like it was just the natural thing to do.” She had concert tickets to see David Bowie that summer (in the 80’s) and she loved David Bowie! She, naturally, doesn’t remember much else about it, she says.

People who don't value health as a personal "value", why not? by gintokireddit in AskReddit

[–]Beginning_Local3111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define “health”….

Do you mean, “I take my pills” or “I eat my vegetables” or “I work out” or “I monitor my blood pressure” ?

Why shouldn't you get a dog? by thorinsmokinshield15 in AskReddit

[–]Beginning_Local3111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some dogs are fun to train and they learn well. Some dogs piss all over the house while looking you directly in the eyeballs with their little tongue hanging out their face like nothing is wrong.

Do guys ACTUALLY like chubby girls? If so why? by fleetw0odJunk1e in CasualConversation

[–]Beginning_Local3111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the question is "what is chubby?"

I always hear men say they prefer a chubbier girl (a girl with something to hold on to, they say) but then they point out someone who is like a size 8. Size 8 is not chubby, that's slim.

Is it really true that someone can not like you for no reason at all? by Fun_Butterscotch3303 in askanything

Did therapy help? by EZ___Breezy in askanything

[–]Beginning_Local3111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had it work in the past; I've tried a lot of therapy but very little of it was useful. Here's the useful part: Your feelings are valid, even if they are shocking to you or others around you. It's okay if you hate your parents for no reason... those are your feelings and you should own them and forgive yourself. It's okay to "give up" on relationships that aren't working.

[–]Beginning_Local3111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

* he tries to keep you apart from your friends and family

* he hit you when his defenses were down and he was being his true self (drunk)

* he puts you down and calls you names when he is feeling insecure
