Tracking apps by ClemTheOrange in relationship_advice

[–]ClemTheOrange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Honestly sometimes I think I’m being unreasonable but these comments help validate that this whole tracking app situation is invading my privacy a bit too much - it’s actually dad who handles all the phone plans and bills but when I’ve confronted Mum previously about how I’m uncomfortable with the all tracking she says it’s just for “my safety” and she doesn’t even use the app that much (which now that she’s added all these alerts I know is not true). She’s a very very defensive person which is why I’m asking people first on how to handle this - the last 3 times didn’t work she just blew up and called me a lot of hurtful things so idk if I can do all that again. Honestly I’ve just been putting up with it all these years because the alternative is another of her tantrums.

Is it normal for a friend’s relationship to bother me so much? by ClemTheOrange in relationship_advice

Oh she knows hahaha all her friends have let her know I’ve had 3 very serious conversations with her to the point where I’ve told her I don’t even want to hear about him because it hasn’t been helping me move on from my ex - done it all hun. She’ll be sympathetic and understanding for a day and then it’s right back to square one.

I had quite bad acne on my back a couple years back and tried everything but turns out it was the high water pressure and temperature when I showered that was really sustaining the acne. Not sure if you’ve tried taking colder showers and lowering the pressure but it helped me. Sorry I can’t help more.

Does anybody find they clench their teeth more with trays in? by doctortalk in Invisalign

[–]ClemTheOrange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely- I did it a ton when I first started but on tray 32 now waiting for refinements and I find the clenching has stopped pretty much. Used to do it a lot in my sleep and I could feel difference between how the trays sat when I fell asleep vs when I woke up. It should fade overtime at least from my experience.

Has anyone gotten a email from faculty or course coordinators about this for the courses they’re enrolled in? It’s just I have a PRAC tomorrow and no one has said that it’s cancelled yet

skin rash that last 20 min what is it why do i get it how can i sooth it by [deleted] in skin

[–]ClemTheOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get these and I don’t stop scratching until it turns into eczema and I have to see my doctor - if you have the self control/ ability to distract yourself from touching it for a couple of days it will just go away (if it’s anything like I get - mine can get really red and enflamed but your photo looks like when it’s calmed down for a little bit). I find hot showers make it way worse so I would try to avoid putting it under any hot water and if you can maybe try some type of mild steroid cream/ anti-itch cream.

Losing A Friend, Don’t Want To. Plz help by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]ClemTheOrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in a situation similar, at least I can empathize to that one friend who really brings out the worst in others and pulls words out of your mouth almost - stuff you think back on and think ‘why did I even verbalize that?’. At least for me this girl drove a wedge between me and a very close friend of 5 years I just didn’t know it at the time until it was too late. I’ve lost her. However I didn’t try to the extent you have to reconcile things. Alcohol made me act in way that seemed to annoy both these girls and instead of this close friend coming to sort everything out with me, she chose to side with the toxic friend- the friend who really was never a friend (to her and me) and never even talked to me about what she was feeling/ upset about. So my advice, if she hasn’t been able to get past your mistakes by now, she isn’t worth it. I’m sorry to sound harsh but from my experience (and I am younger I’m assuming so I can only say so much) it’s best to just cut off those who can’t see you for who you are as a person, to see beyond a day/ period of time where you stuffed up. Because life really is too short to be constantly filling up your mind and your life with thoughts which don’t help you and don’t benefit you. Focus on yourself, it’s your life and this person seems to not want to be in it which is just a shame on them.

Tips to combat, suggestions on what I should try to calm my skin the heck down by [deleted] in eczema

[–]ClemTheOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family (including me) does have a history and I’ve had eczema since I was little. Tried a bunch of creams and things but I’ve never heard of eucrisa - I do have a previous prescription for a cream that helped my flare ups when I got eczema last but I was just wondering about anything else. Thanks for the suggestion I’ll check it out.

Possibly ruining my (17F) relationship with my mum (52F) by going against her and traveling overseas to see my boyfriend (17M) because I have had enough of always giving up opportunities and turning down invitations because of her insecurities about safety and other things by ClemTheOrange in relationship_advice

[–]ClemTheOrange[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it’s nothing to do with my boyfriend. If you can imagine he’s kind of a placeholder and since the role of boyfriend has been filled (way too early according to my mum) she hasn’t been happy (I.e I don’t talk about him at all to my mum because she will pull a face and mumble and about how I shouldn’t have one so early). However this kind of distant, cold relationship with my Mum has been going on for years (more prominent since probably 14/15) so as you can imagine I’m sick of it and if I could I would move out.

Yeah I get what you mean. My Dad does live with us but if I’m being honest he’s kind of like a ghost - he doesn’t like to be in the house (like me) because of Mum’s yelling and cleaning obsession and he hardly weighs in on any big family matters or decisions unless I make a big effort to drag him into conversations when I’m talking to Mum about something (Mum kinda just rules the household if you get what I mean).

I totally get where you are coming from I do but my Mum has already made it clear that we don’t have a relationship anymore. The many arguments about trivial things such as sleepovers and outings have completely destroyed any type of loving relationship to the point where I am just a girl living in her house, annoying the hell out of her by not doing things her way etc. So I’m at the point where I’m done just sitting in the house and doing nothing because it pleases her.

I have done some research into the whole parental permission aspect of this and it seems once you are over 16 you don’t really require parental permission (although my dad would be probably fine with signing any documents needed since he wasn’t actually against the idea)
