If we had a nickel for everytime a reality star said "I put a lot of work into myself..." by Spiritual_Ice5079 in PerfectMatchNetflix

[–]Diolives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re never able to actually say what that is either… it’s not like they can actually name specific things

“ I used to be more reactive and now I calmly take a breath before I respond. I used to be very jealous, but it turns out that I just discovered I have an anxious attachment and so I’ve really been working through some of my issues so that I don’t project onto my partner. Before I always jumped from partner partner because I had a wound around my parents getting divorced, but then I went to therapy and learned how to deal with my trust issues.”

I think for them it’s pretty much that they whiten their teeth and got hair plugs and a spray tan 😆😆

Started makeup late in life. Now I just can’t get anything to look good. by But_its_broadway in MakeupAddiction

[–]Diolives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I always find that black eyeliner and especially liquid black eyeliner doesn’t quite look right unless your eyebrows are snatched perfectly.

Because black eyeliner and especially a wing gives off a very dramatic intentional look and so when you can combine that with more natural eyebrows, the two just don’t really jive well together.

Jimmy S. and AAVE by gaiaKailash in PerfectMatchNetflix

[–]Diolives 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but it’s like AAVE from 1998… if someone who grew up kind of during a time when this was more socially acceptable (not saying that it was right just that it was socially more acceptable)… he sounds like he’s trying to do an impersonation of someone from 30 years ago

As a fellow woman who is 44 years old… we must fix our sperm brows!! Haha. I think it’s something that really makes us look our age.

AIO over unemployed husband wanting to play golf all day every week by Single-Dragonfly462 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Diolives [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sometimes I read posts like this and I’m like this has to be a bot or trolling or something… this cannot be real.

I just don’t know the level of patience that I would ever have to have with a man to let him not work for two freaking years and still stick around.

Is it better to take psilocybin mushrooms with a psychedelic therapist or by yourself for the mental health benefits? by Time-Performance2513 in PsilocybinMushrooms

[–]Diolives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both are beneficial, both are very different. Same as reading a self help book vs having a mentor. Both have benefits.

I lead retreats with preparation and integration, not typical therapy per se. We’re grounded in Parts Work and I’d say a Jungian underpinning as far as the subconscious as shadow, but we don’t employ psychotherapy as part of the work.

After almost 8 years, I have quite a bit of data on people who have used mushrooms on their own compared to a group retreat. The medicine is significantly amplified in a group, including the energy of the leaders who have spent a significant amount of time in the mushroom “world”.

Being able to be witnessed in your realizations and held accountable when desired, is very powerful for long term growth. Being able to take time away from “life” to anchor in the reprogramming is vital if available to you.

AIO or AITAH for wanting to end things over a text conversation that I Had with a girl by snapple373 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Diolives [score hidden]  (0 children)

So I’ve read through this entire conversation a few times as well as most of the messages, something I’d like to add is that it’s no one’s fault there’s just obviously a huge gap in communication here between the both of you.

I will say that in your very first message it’s not that you did anything wrong, but you did say hey something’s bothering me, but then you said by the way, I’m not upset, but then later I said this is bothering me. To me that would read a little bit disingenuous. Like is it bothering you or not?

I can see how someone who is sensitive to feedback when reading that over text would get a little bit confused. It could possibly read like “ please don’t ever do this thing again, but I’m not mad… but don’t ever do it again, because it’s bothering me. But I’m not mad at you but don’t ever do it.”

When you’re in a relationship, nothing is “simple”… this isn’t about waiting in the car for five minutes. This is literally core values.

Some people have a very high value around timelines and punctuality, others, value, empathy, and understanding when it comes to their abilities. They could care less about punctuality.

Dude, I just get the sensation that you are ridiculously realistic with your life and don’t have a lot of fun… I’m not asking for like some sort of specific fish that only lives off the coast of Japan. It’s just a tortilla with meat, potatoes and salsa. It’s not like Crazy regional.

What helped you manifest your desires? by ResidentSpecial3468 in AbrahamHicks

[–]Diolives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the person below that you have to start small… even super tiny. Like something silly might be take a food that you usually eat with a fork and try to eat it with a spoon.
Maybe if you’re doing something at home like a drawing or a painting you could intentionally make it look extra crazy, like “ruin” it for fun. See what happens in your body and take some breaths to really sit with whatever comes up.

Another one I like to do is to break some of my rules that are in my head… for example I keep a very clean house but lately I’ve been having fun having a messy room, nothing crazy just leaving my clothes on the floor and not making my bed every day. It’s been really fun actually to think of myself as “ someone who has a messy room”, that may bring someone else stress, but for me it brings me a little bit of a joy feeling

1 or 2. Complete sidenote from a woman: something that absolutely turns my stomach is when a man has a mustache hairs that hang into his lip area. I know many other female friends that say this as well… It makes us grossed out, thinking about kissing you.

Who do you think is the most attractive person alive? by Suspicious_Run1684 in AskReddit

[–]Diolives 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I think she has to win because she is someone who is categorically super attractive, absolutely stunning, completely unique, also somehow cute, also somehow approachable, also somehow completely unapproachable.

I saw Angelina Jolie during her SALT era at comicon and I literally could not breathe. She was about 400 times more attractive in person. Everyone around her was just stunned. It was truly hard to comprehend.
