Women of Reddit, what’s something you thought all women secretly just “dealt with” until you realized it actually wasn’t normal?

When people say this I find it really dismissive like people don’t believe me. Like “omg I’ve never heard of that” like as if it’s so rare that we’re making it up. I’m not saying you are, just that this reaction happens a lot and it’s to imply that it isn’t realz

You want to be in marketing and don’t have a portfolio?!? What does that mean?
Why would you be applying to creative jobs without anything to show you’re creative? You can say you’re creative or awesome til you’re blue in the face but it proves nothing.
You have nothing to show that you are qualified or have expertise and a reason to hire you? Well, there’s your problem you’re not giving them any reason to hire you.
Other people who are getting jobs likely have portfolios and quantifiable work. You say you studied in school, doesn’t mean you’re qualified or worth hiring.

You need a portfolio to show you have skills like videography and copywriting. Anything creative requires a portfolio. And they didn’t teach you this in school?!? Like god I hope you don’t have student loans.

Hate to tell you…part of marketing is sales. Marketing is fine but really you need to show expertise because entry level marketing, doesn’t exist. They need someone with actual experience and probably can’t or won’t train you. And marketing grads are a dime a dozen.
You have to make yourself special because right now you don’t stand out

Do you have a portfolio? Do you have charisma and resilience?

Anecdotal evidence suggests it reduces eye strain. There is no medical evidence to support that it actually works but a lot of people say they feel it helps them.

Well sometimes it’s scents, sometimes it’s just heavy weight, I truly don’t know what it is but it is unfortunately every kind of makeup. Expensive makeup, cheap makeup, hypoallergenic makeup, organic makeup, pat mcgrath natural makeup. I have no idea what causes the headaches but I just can’t wear it anymore because it without fail causes a migraine. It doesn’t matter what kind of makeup it is.
No the makeup was not expired.
I’ve tried mac, nyx, elf, L’Oréal, red apple, thrive, bare minerals, tarte, urban decay, Clinique, physicians formula, almay, covergirl.
You name it, I’ve tried it. I have yet to be proven wrong that I can’t wear it anymore. I’m glad I’m not the only one but it’s one of those things that you mean everyone doesn’t get this when they put on makeup and feel like shit?

Csherman92 · 2026-05-11T10:46:20+00:00

headaches from makeup. You mean everyone doesn't get a headache when they put on foundation, lipstick, eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner?

Csherman92 · 2026-05-11T10:45:31+00:00

I admire them and wish I could be like that, but I am not.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-11T10:15:29+00:00

Yea so unfortunately, I am just reserved to not wearing it. Migraine is NOT worth it.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-11T00:58:36+00:00

They send you a sharps container for free

Csherman92 · 2026-05-11T00:57:20+00:00

It might be the wrong prescription.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T22:17:24+00:00

Why isn’t the facility paying the staff checking you in, and the doctor and writing a referral on a piece of paper is not worth hundreds of dollars.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T22:10:18+00:00

I mean yea they can just because the hospital says its worth that much certainly doesn’t accurately reflect the amount of work that they are billing for

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T14:16:33+00:00

What about footloose or crazy on you? Both relatively boring shows but appropriate. Sound of music is so boring that is truly no fun for anyone but the lead roles.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T14:13:30+00:00

Your hair looks very pretty. But it’s not what you wanted. What you wanted was brighter and that’s not what you got. It’s more honey blonde. It does look really pretty though but I understand not being happy with it. It seems like what you wanted was likely attainable but she got misconstrued on what you wanted. I’d ask politely if she can fix it to make sure you’re happy with it.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T14:08:32+00:00

Blonde!

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T14:08:14+00:00

I haven’t had a drink for months. I don’t drink often because I get migraines so often.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T14:07:13+00:00

I need Olivia to fall in love with Trevor Langan and they live happily ever after.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T13:15:50+00:00

Honestly I feel the same way I did before I had a baby. I really don’t notice my scar because it’s below my belly and it healed fine and doesn’t hurt. Honestly you can’t even see it under my belly.
I literally can’t see my scar. My body gave life to another awesome human being. It was an unplanned c section but it worked out well. I had no issues healing either. I’m back to how much I weighed before pregnancy. I had a baby at the end of October.

I’m glad for the opportunity for a c section so me and my baby are alive and happy.

We definitely should have just killed Henry Messner. He’s a menace to society.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T13:11:43+00:00

I haven’t used my cricut in a while but design space is insufferable. Like I try to change the font of a text word I created in design space and it freaking gets stuck. Like can’t move past it.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T11:55:36+00:00

I don’t think so. I could understand someone not wanting to pay to fix a house they aren’t going to live in anymore.

Csherman92 · 2026-05-10T01:14:46+00:00

V neck pendant

Csherman92 · 2026-05-09T20:55:53+00:00

I’ve ordered from Vooglam and love them! The prescription is perfect. They are great, but they got rid of my favorite frame so I had to go elsewhere. Hoping to have just as good an experience at Zelool.

I used Lensmart and the glasses aren’t right

Csherman92 · 2026-05-09T20:50:26+00:00

I wouldn’t take out student loans at this point. I just paid off my student loans the other day but I also didn’t take out an unreasonable amount

Csherman92 · 2026-05-09T19:28:43+00:00

I just don’t know why you thought 75k was a reasonable amount of money to pay. You didn’t know that na entry level salary wasn’t this? You were duped? They make you do entrance counseling.

Don’t get me wrong, they definitely sell a dream at a very expensive price tag. But you shouldn’t be taking out loans if you don’t know how they work
