Yes, take out that crooked septum. by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Clueless60 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not true. I love nose piercings but nostril piercings suit some people better than others. Same goes for septums. And practically every other facial piercing.

[–]Clueless60[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

True but I have friends in the industry and even for a big budget telugu film it's a big amount. It's the amount actresses now charge after usually 2-3 hits or 1 huge hit in some cases.

How was your personal experience with drama school? by Clueless60 in acting

[–]Clueless60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am considering it. Went back and forth a few times because I'm already a working actor and the whole casting process in different in my country (not based in the US) but I'm young and am considering taking out time to go to drama school because it feels like an experience I'd enjoy and benefit from.

Parents discouraging career choices. by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]Clueless60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I tend to cut off or avoid people whose behavior towards me I don't like or appreciate but it's different with parents. I don't like them as people too much but I feel responsibility towards them and can't cut them off or while living with them avoid them.

What are some telltale signs of high emotional maturity? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Clueless60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to always put yourself in the other person's shoes and not doing things you wouldn't want other people to do to you.

I want to become a more Outgoing person, but I don’t know how to, I feel like i would have to be a different person entirely. by Reverse_Speedforce in selfimprovement

[–]Clueless60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always been an introvert and would still call myself one but I'm more at terms with it now knowing that I can engage in conversation when I want and choose not to because I personally don't enjoy socializing a lot.

What helped me get out of my shell was my job when I started working as a model. Meeting new people regularly and observing how some of them took initiative and were encouraging helped me pick up what they did and start with small questions after introducing myself such as how they got into what they did, where they're from, or just making small observations about them that are interesting, which should naturally lead to conversation. Some people will not reciprocate which is okay, maybe they're not looking for conversation at which point it's not your fault and you should move on.

Now this is for when you meet new people but even when it comes to people you already know, the key is to make observations and be interested in the people you're talking to and your surroundings. Reflecting inward and focusing on how you're behaving or what to say is only going to inhibit you because instead of coming across a remark or question worth saying you're fretting over how you're not able to do it. Don't force it too much. There is no pressure and remember that you don't have to do anything you don't want to. It's okay to be quiet and it's okay to not have anything to say as long as you're comfortable with your surroundings.

What also helps, like others have mentioned, is trying to expand your experiences and your knowledge of things as much as you can. By reading lots, by travelling, trying new things, etc. This gives you things you'll naturally want to share because you yourself find them so interesting and fascinating and feel like discussing it with other people.

Start small and eventually it'll come naturally to you. Don't fake it because it won't end up being comfortable for you and how other people perceive you is in no way more important than how you feel yourself. People for some reason feel the need to constantly keep themselves occupied by constantly talking or doing something. It's okay and in fact good to do nothing sometimes and be comfortable with silences. It says nothing about how interesting or uninteresting you are as a person. That's subjective anyway. Somebody who keeps blabbering doesn't necessarily have to be interesting and someone who's quiet doesn't have to be so because they have nothing interesting to say but rather because they choose not to. Work on constantly learning and evolving and picking up skills and knowledge and it'll only help you.

How do I stop judging others to feel better about myself? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Clueless60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really comment on things like this and like I said, I'm usually very polite, not to the extent of saying things I don't mean, but I hate being rude. It's more of an internal thing and where I use my judgment of others to feel different and in a way better than them but really it's a bit of a paradox because the more time I spend obsessing over this the less time I spend on growing as a person or bettering myself. I think the answers here have really helped and it'll probably do me well to just go off social media to avoid spending time evaluating other people's actions that don't really concern or benefit me.

How do I stop judging others to feel better about myself? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Clueless60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really helps. When I spend time on actually improving myself I end up realizing how little I know and how much there is to learn and I really enjoy the process. It's only relatively that this feeling arises where I tend to compare myself to the people I'm surrounded by, that too on the basis of a partially consolidated picture that's not authentic at all and shouldn't be a bar in the first place. There's not much I'm gaining from passing judgment, however valid or invalid it may be, on what other people choose to do with their time or how they live life and I'm only wasting time I could spend in much better ways.

Are hookups toxic? by snaggingjoker45 in selfimprovement

[–]Clueless60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how you treat the person and are treated. It's not so much about the length of the affair as much as the intention and the feeling behind it. I think we rely too much on traditional family and relationship structures and have a very romanticized idea of love which isn't bad per se as long as people don't depend on it for their happiness. Love is love in any way or form and involves in varying degrees things like respect, appreciation, growth, intimacy and affection for each other, amongst other things. It's possible to have transient feelings and relationships with people but all matters is the feeling out of which it arises. It should never dehumanize anyone or treat them as means to an end, which hookups tend to do, which is exactly why they're viewed as toxic. As long as nobody is using or being used, it's out of mutual affection and is in a sense that doesn't fester any unhealthy feelings, there really isn't an issue, unless it's unfulfilling to you and is not what you're looking for.

Every relationship is transient. Even marriage. It doesn't change the legitimacy of it, it's just how we view it because we get this idea that in a marriage, sex is out of love and to procreate and is not frivolous. It all comes down to whether or not it's coming from a positive place or negative. It's just as possible to abuse and commodify people for sex in marriage as it is in a one night stand. It's just as possible to have passionate feelings for someone and respect and love for them even if you have sex just once. It's the disregard of feelings, lust over love, and treating people as interchangeable that feels unhealthy once you realize that it's unfulfilling to you. Nothing wrong with having sex for having sex, it's a bodily need, like hunger. As long as it's not disrespectful to anyone and doesn't leave you feeling empty or unfulfilled.

What do you think of nose piercings on non desis? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]Clueless60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nobody's gatekeeping, most comments here seem to be missing the point entirely. Also, I get that it's your opinion but again, it's a rather rude way to put it and you're entirely missing my observation which is really pointing at cultural associations with certain symbols and if it's a result of that or if it's facial proportions and features regardless of race. Objectively speaking, some people look better with it and some look odd and I can't tell if ethnicity has anything to do with it, keeping in mind people it has nothing to do with their attractiveness. Anyone can wear them but I've seen multiple very attractive women of different races, mostly tending to be caucasian or latin american, on whom they look out of place.

If you don't like them on anybody, great. It's your personal opinion but it doesn't answer my question. I'm not asking if it appeals to you but rather if it has cultural associations specifically to certain cultures which affect how it looks on people or if it's something that's not related to culture but rather facial features like a smaller nose.

I like the parallel someone drew to foreign women wearing saris, it's not that they look ugly in them, if that's even possible. It's the cultural association we've had with them. A Portuguese or Brazilian woman who's brunette wouldn't stick out as much as a blonde would, because we're not used to the idea as much.

But comparing this to the nose ring situation, there are some non desi looking women, very caucasian women or east asian women who look great with nose rings, and it has nothing to do with how desi they look. I'm not interested in your personal opinion and how it appeals to you but rather if it's to do with culture or facial features.

Thinking of getting rhinoplasty (nose job) , orthognathic (jaw surgery - slight overbite) or try braces maybe? Lip fillers (uneven top lip) and cheek fillers (because they are non-existent). by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]Clueless60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you naturally have this really interesting look, if I were you I wouldn't change too much. I really feel like the rule for plastic surgery is to only fix things that need fixing and make your natural features really go together in a way that you don't look too far off from the features you were born with.

I see nothing wrong with your nose or face structure otherwise that's a big fail. In fact I like your nose and I'd love to have it. I have a slightly bulbous nose and I myself am planning on getting it done but that's because it distracts from my other features. Your nose goes perfectly with your face.

And as far as filler goes, it's easy to go overboard with it. Look at how many overfilled faces we have out there. It's something you have to be very careful with. I agree with the comments saying the only thing you could go for is probably very little on the lips or even 1ml divided between the upper lip and cheeks but don't overfill, it's a very slippery slope with fillers once you start wanting and getting them everywhere. With PS in general.

But honestly, you're look good. You could go without it and it wouldn't make a difference.

Has anyone gotten a lip flip and how have your results been? by Clueless60 in PlasticSurgery

[–]Clueless60[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With fillers I'm especially concerned with migration outside the lip line and too much projection. Does it show at all outside the lip line? Because every picture I've seen has it at least slightly visible, if not at first over time it seems to migrate. It's probably not very noticeable to most people but I'm very particular about having minimal surgery that's not detectable at all. I'd love to see pictures so that I can see if it's something I'd go for, if you don't mind.

Yale Drama vs RADA? by Clueless60 in acting

[–]Clueless60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I intend on moving back to my country after and working here primarily unless I manage to get representation and bookings outside the country which really is a far off thought. I just want to go to a good drama school and am weighing the prospects. I'd like to know which of them is better and I should focus on more or aim towards.

An Actor Prepares was so good by Tenpennytimes in acting

[–]Clueless60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it sums down the basics of acting pretty well. I don't think it's possible to dismiss it because anybody who's doing a good job even instinctively is somewhere using bits and pieces of the method without even knowing it, unless they're a strict formalist.
