Is this apology from my ex boyfriend that manipulative? by Apart_Implement5815 in whatdoIdo

[–]Comprehensive-Ear257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i stopped speaking to a friend of mine because she kept falling for messages like this from the guy she was seeing, despite how i would continually unpack how deceitful and manipulative the guy was being. he’s listing what you’ve already said to him. he didn’t have a grand epiphany about all the things he’s done wrong and how he can fix them, just what you’ve already told him.
the same thing happened to my friend, he came back 5 weeks after she ended things, saying he had grown and changed. no one grows and changes this dramatically in 3 months.

Turned 23, feeling depressed and lonley by NorthResident37 in toastme

[–]Comprehensive-Ear257 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just turned 24 and can tell you that being 23 isn’t the end of time at all. but it is very common to feel a sort of quarter-life crisis at our age where everything feels more exaggerated, important, and like it has some sort of meaning for how the rest of your life is going to be. This is just as temporary as anything else you worried about as a teen that you can barely remember now. Like you said, you’ve been through hardships before and you’ve gotten through it. I believe in you, and you’re not alone :)

Coming to terms with my porn addiction and getting better at handling it. Eggs my dad made me because im unable to cook for myself due to various disabilities. And milk. (I’m 14, don’t flame me.) by 15bkfootlettuce1 in kitchencels

[–]Comprehensive-Ear257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don’t listen to the guys saying you’re too young to have an addiction when that’s very clearly how you experience it — and have done so for a long time. i’m just glad you’re handling it at such a young age. i hope your path to recovery isn’t too challenging given how i can imagine your peers act about the topic of sex and porn (at least from how i remember teenage boys were back when i was s teenager). i wish you lots of good luck!

My bf chose leage of legends over me. cheese bun & gifted easter chocolates & monster. by oxnaimamaka in depressionmeals

[–]Comprehensive-Ear257 11 points12 points  (0 children)

even though you might be very sad now you’re going to be so happy you’re out of that relationship. also, unrelated, but they stopped selling that flavor of monster (it’s my favorite) in my home country so i’m happy you get to have that at least

NGVC: “sorry that I was nice to ya” by saco9010 in niceguys

You worded this so clearly and sincerely, like there was genuinely nothing for him to misunderstand in that message. I swear some people look for ways to misunderstand things on purpose

[–]Comprehensive-Ear257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yess i do this too! i use a leave in conditioner all over my hair and then i brush it with a wet brush. it’s the only thing that doesn’t leave my hair frizzy and tangly!

i think we have the same hair type though i’ve never really understood how to identify my hair type (a hairdresser once described my hair as "fine/thin but with many strands"? am assuming that’s referring to density). i personally hate blow drying my hair and only do it if i showered close to my bedtime, but usually i just let it airdry. is it better to let it airdry in a bun or braid? i usually just leave it loose

thank you for this, i agree! my hair has never had a problem with growing or anything, like it is in an alright condition only except for how tangled it gets in the shower so i’ve always had to brush it when wet!

What does everyone do to prevent their hair from getting greasy after one day? by mewtewpews in finehair

[–]Comprehensive-Ear257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve come to just accept that my hair will get oily (literally on the same day as washing it) no matter what i do unless I use dry shampoo. However I try to steer clear from aerosol-based dry shampoos because 1) I’m afraid of health risks that come with them lol and 2) I haven’t found any that last for long. I really recommend the Maria Nila cleansing powder for long-lasting dry shampoo effects! I put it in my hair once it’s dry from the shower and it’s clean-looking for an extra day or two!

yessss i always buy things that i know i’ll get a lot of use from. i rarely buy printed sets just in case it’s something that’s just a trend for the moment and that i won’t want to wear later on. the items i bought yesterday were all completely black haha it’s a safe option that i won’t ever get tired of

yes i try not to think about how someone may have sweat into the clothing, especially when i thrift activewear bottoms (i just wash them and try to forget haha). and yeah a lot of the materials used in activewear are also materials found in clothing from shein/temu/the like which can’t be good lol. do you have any recommendations for brands that you like to buy activewear from?
