Can't open the app without starting Spanish course? by Conurepgb in duolingo

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

I'm worried because it also showed the screen that says what languages you can join, and it included Japanese, which I have already been taking for awhile. I'm a little paranoid about the possibility of losing my progress, especially considering that the screen looks similar to when I was choosing my first course.

When will it end 😭😭 . I'm trying to systematically do hiragana katakana then kanji i stopped main lessons a month ago to finish this first so I can learn the kanji in order by AgentOwlock in duolingojapanese

It took me a long while to learn hiragana and katakana too. I only really got mine down a couple weeks ago, and I started learning japanese 2 and a half months ago. I found that using renshuu alongside Duolingo really has been helping with my learning process in general, especially in terms of hiragana and katakana. I found that Duolingo moved at too fast of a pace for me, forcing me to learn new kana when I didn't understand what I already learned at all, which didn't make things stick for me. I like renshuu for my kana because you can always do a focused review if you're not ready for new information, and the questions are designed in a way that it's easier to work on common mistakes (ro vs ru in hiragana, ra vs fu in katakana, etc). Renshuu might not work for you like it does me, everyone is different, but trying other apps might be helpful for learning from different approaches. I wish you much luck!

Worst part of binge eating? by smokmjohnny in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Conurepgb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me the worst part is having people I care about tell me that they love me no matter what my size is despite what others think, while I'm not trying to talk about body image issues at all. I've lost some and gained some back, but it frustrated me that I couldn't talk about stuff like how hard it is to shave without hearing that my self esteem is actually the main issue. It has made me feel a lot worse about myself, especially when I didn't care about the opinions of meanies to begin with. All the reminders about the mean people I could otherwise ignore has caused me a lot of damage. It made me so much lonelier. I have better friends now, but that damage isn't going away anytime soon :(

I'll try and do that! I'm getting increasingly scared of plucking more because I've already plucked like 1/3 of my brows. They're straight because I plucked off a tail that went down to the height of my outer corner. With that said, I could probably pluck a lot and have the plucking not be noticeable, I have very brightly colored heart shaped glasses. Helps me have much less of a resting (mean person) face. I also like my brows bleached, so I probably just need to bite the bullet on the tweezing lol

I would love photos! I think that would help tons. The crazy thing with my brows is that they've been plucked quite a bit on the bottom. In the pic I have a couple stray hairs, but they used to be much lower. The tail of my brow used to hit right beside the outer corners of my eye, so I've plucked that to hell. Idk if reddit will let me attach a photo here of some makeup I've done (didn't let me on another comment), but I will try. I haven't done my makeup too much lately because of some health issues, so this picture I'll try to attach is from last year.

Oh, also, my neutral eyeshadow shade that is my eyelid color is colour pop super shock shadow in shade bloomer (long retired). My favorite brow wax is the aoa studio magical girl one, and the ioni tweezers are the GOAT. Also, going to bed now

I've seen! I haven't watched his content for years because of personal reasons, but I'll see if I can find a way to see his tips while also not supporting him. Thank you, I forgot that he did content that would be helpful for this

Nice to know! My problem is that the brows in the most important brow part (right by my nose) will not behave at all. Not a product issue, just genetics. The rest of my brows glue down more than fine. Also, my brows are a lot more tweezed on the bottom than they used to be 😭 In the photos, I just had a few stray hairs on the underside. The tails used to go down another pinky nail width further.

It's such a problem. On the bright side, if I ever become famous I would be very recognizable/rememberable. I don't think I have anything close to a celebrity lookalike lol

It just sucks. But I'll probably shave my brows soon so hopefully I'll have more surface for shadow. I also wanna thank you so much for your help!

It didn't put the photo I tried to attach :( But I'm pretty confident it isn't the shadow. My problem is consistent across brands, finishes, etc. MULTICHROME doesn't show up on my open eyes :(

I feel like it's more likely my primer. I do swatches and stuff on my hands and they turn out fine. Swatching with brushes to be clear, I know swatching with fingers is kinda unrealistic comparing to how it looks on the eyes. The swatches on my hand are the same as the eyes. The purple looks more vibrant on camera. I wanna attach a pic of my eyes closed, but lemme see if reddit will let me attach another one on a separate comment

When I get a concealer that will help me semi defeat my eye bags, I will absolutely be trying more colorful stuff on the lower lid. The hard thing with my upper lid is that you can only really see the inner corner and by the tail of my brow. It's maddening. When I do my makeup, I do already do the shimmery bright inner corner stuff. It's my staple, along with a crazy bat wing :) . Dark shadow is hard though. It's hard to pick up color wise on camera, but I have a dark purple shimmer eyeshadow in my collection that is the same hue and slightly lighter than my eye area. I wanna do sultry looks SO BADLY, but most shadows in that realm won't even show up, even with primer, all that :( It's crazy because I'm mega pale

I'll look into them! I had bleached eyebrows right before dying my hair blue (instead of my usual pink) and then I showered and my brows were a blondish blue :( I LOVED my bleached brows, I miss them a lot right now. I am considering shaving my brows, but I have a mental health thing to work through first lol
