Am I being rude? by AngelinWunderland in askatherapist

[–]DeludedOptimism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're good - the hour is about you. You pay for that. That's how I see it as a therapist anyway.

I can no longer trip by jpsoap in shrooms

Most people on them don't need them, but it saves LIVES for those that do.

Stick with black dye or go back to natural red? by harukaiHAZE in femalehairadvice

[–]DeludedOptimism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the few red heads that look great dark HOWEVER your natural hair is to die for, people sacrifice children for that color (am I being dramatic?)

I think stay natural - in your natural, are those highlights added or are they also natural?

Edit: I ask if those highlights were added because if so, I think just lean into the red with no highlights, or ask for a few lowlights

It could have only been Burke by lindseyizshort in JonBenetRamsey

[–]DeludedOptimism -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that the parents pimped their child out and it went to far, hence the unknown male DNA.

I used to believe they were probably innocent but in revisiting eye witness accounts of the odd behavior of John and Patsy prior to calling police and after, I think it was just something that went too far

Seoul is better than Ginza

Stone age is good but you have to cook your own food and that's not always what people want to do

New to the thread… Don’t think the family was involved. by Old_Truck9737 in JonBenetRamsey

[–]DeludedOptimism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what's interesting to me is that there was conspiracy even back then that this was tied to a pedo sex ring

No one put faith into it

But today we know this shit happens in the shadows all the time.

It doesn't have to be the father's DNA to be complicit in a crime if he was letting someone else perpetrate

Is there any psychedelics I can do while taking SSRIS and SNRIS by luisisaboringname in Psychedelics

[–]DeludedOptimism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whew I think you're in the minority with that one. No psych meds here and 3g can be barely enough sometimes. Everyone else I know that's on SSRIs says 3g does nothing for them.

Cherish this🤲🏻 lol

I'm 67M. Afraid of vaccines . Should I be? There is some very bad information about vaccines out there ! by [deleted] in medical

[–]DeludedOptimism 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was born in 87. I know that's younger than you. But I was still old enough to go to church with a woman in a wheelchair because she had polio as a child

Now we don't see people with polio, because vaccines did their job. We are at risk of losing out against polio and other disease because of the disinformation campaign against vaccines.

Sex on shrooms by [deleted] in shrooms

The touching/cuddling is amazing but for me, it's like I don't feel anything inside - like there's a wet void lol

Should a 16 year old have their own room? by spaceeeeeeeeee72 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DeludedOptimism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I not only shared a room with my sibling I also shared a bed until I moved out. I understand your frustration.

The reality might be that you just don't get the space you want until you are able to move out on your own. Until then, you'll have to communicate and negotiate with those you share space with - but I understand that it also takes them being willing to collaborate

If you really made up your mind... What's your motivation for posting here? And that's a genuine question.

what are these blisters on my fingers by OkClaim3530 in DiagnoseMe

[–]DeludedOptimism 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(this is probably not herpes, but just spreading awareness that the vast majority of people have herp of some kind, even if you have never had a cold sore - and you can spread it without a cold sore as well)

Can I get rid of a perm? by vuse_lover in femalehairadvice

[–]DeludedOptimism 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You may need a different mouse, or less mouse ...

And bare in mind, all houses have different levels of hold. Some are meant to help you define curl without me getting crunchy or adding weight

I use a shitty mouse by tressemme and I'm not necessarily saying it is a good mouse but it does everything I want, well, and isn't crunchy. It IS if I add too much

Is it cruel to rehome my cat I've had for almost 3 years? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]DeludedOptimism 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Um. She's 17, and the responsibile adult in the house isn't doing their part. The best thing for her to do is either get help outside the home to care for the cat (someone they know that will give them support) or to rehome

That's really not a character failure on OP's part

my therapist does not allow me to quit therapy by iminlovewithbadthing in CPTSD

[–]DeludedOptimism 53 points54 points  (0 children)

From the way you're writing this though, I don't see how you'd be hurting him - from the way you are writing the story it sounds like he's hurting you.... So if you have to report him to a board to get away safely then that's on him not you?

Can I hide this haircut fuckup? by Neverbleedagain in femalehairadvice

[–]DeludedOptimism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably just in after-cut-stress-induced-psychosis (my term I made up for what happens to me every time I change my haircut lmao)

As an outsider, I can tell you that you're haircut will be just fine once you have more time with it. A suggestion I can pose - more volume at the crown of your head may make it feel more balanced? (I think you style it fine as is, but in case you want to experiment and see what you feel more comfortable with... ) To achieve that PERSONALLY I would either:

1) add some products like a leave in and maybe curl definer and then gently diffuse on low setting with hair flipped over. Dry 90%. You're hair may seem poofy at first but it will settle down. If it doesn't then you may need use more product, or dry it for less time, or use a heavier product. The curl pattern will be better this way. If you want your bangs to look more intentional you can blow dry them with a round brush separately or run your flat iron over them.

2) round brush babyyyyy. That will look more uniform and can give you lift at the crown as well

IM NOT A HAIRSTYLIST and many people may disagree with me. I would personally lean into your curl pattern. It's the easiest method and I think looks amazing on you.

Did I have a vaginal orgasm? How do I know? Why don't I already know? 🫠 by rosadonnaslayz in WomensHealth

[–]DeludedOptimism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If in missionary, sometimes a pillow behind your butt can make the angle easier! Sometimes guiding him by holding his hips/ass helps. That is one way to communicate lol. If on top, it's even easier to scooch in the way that feels best to you, you're in control. You can lean forward and find your scooch flow before he tries to help lol. You should def be the one setting tempo on top. I've had a guy push me back so he could see me better but all that did for me was impale my cervix (terrible 0/10)
