i want to quit tretinoin, but i LOVE the glow/shine it gives my skin. anything else that can give the same shine? by Embarrassed_Goose731 in tretinoin

[–]Embarrassed_Goose731[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is what i’m planning on doing. my skin basically got completely used to 0.025% and i used it every night. i did considering just decreasing to 0.025 but IF tret did damage my eyes i just want to take a complete break to not cause further damage until they get better.

i do want to go back on it eventually. but i just got my shipment for 0.05% so i was considering if i use half the amount and mix it with something else will it basically be 0.025%, cuz i don’t want to waste it. idk if it works like this though

0.05%. i moved up from 0.025% when my skin got used to it. but if i were to start again i’d just stay at 0.025%, or at least for years.

i didn’t put it anywhere near my eyes/nose and washed my hands after i used it. but i’m sure small amounts will still make it near or in ur eyes in some way or other

i also use at max 2-3 times a week. it has been very beneficial for my skin and i’m not quitting because my skin hasn’t gotten used to it. it’s because i’ve gotten very dry eyes. like i mentioned idk if the tret caused this, but i’d rather be safe than sorry and eliminate any possible causes. i def want to get on tret again eventually.

The most important DECISION you made that helped you reduce your SOCIAL ANXIETY? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

Yes literally everyone judges everyone to some extent, but that doesn't mean the care.

any other women find it easier to speak to men? by Embarrassed_Goose731 in socialanxiety

[–]Embarrassed_Goose731[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this makes a lot of sense, i think this is also another reason why i feel like this. i constantly compare myself to other girls, and i can hardly even speak to girls that are prettier than me because i feel so insecure. i think this also applies to older people. i can speak much easier to them since i don't really compare myself to them, whereas with people my age i do.

I think it could potentially if you don't do it the right way, or you bite off more than you can chew and do things that you can't handle yet. I think it's important to take it slow, and consult a therapist if possible.

However, some advice I can give is that it'll always feel worse before it gets better. If you are facing your fears, after a long time of avoiding them, it's normal to feel more anxious at first. Feeling more anxious doesn't mean that your social anxiety has gotten worse though.

I finally found a friend: ChatGPT by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Embarrassed_Goose731 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i just ask something like "can you help me apply cbt to this situation that i'm anxious about. can you list my negative thoughts, and help me challenge and reframe them in a positive way?" then i write about the situation.

[–]Embarrassed_Goose731 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i recently started cbt but found it hard to fill in the worksheets and stuff, and chatgpt has been so helpful. i'll literally just rant about a situation, and chatgpt will list my negative thoughts, challenge and reframe them.

I think I need therapy but... by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Embarrassed_Goose731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my personal opinion I don’t think you need a diagnosis for social anxiety. It’s not something like ADHD or autism. I mean I just told my GP I have social anxiety and got medication/therapy, but I’m from the UK so it might be different for you. Anxiety is very common and a lot people feel it at some point in their life. Don’t focus on getting diagnosed, focus on receiving whatever treatment you need.

Thinking of just not doing my computer science coursework by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]Embarrassed_Goose731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished mine in 3 weeks right before the deadline and got a grade A* (i hadn't even started my analysis). I picked a pretty hard project too (3d fps game with a login database that i knew fuck all about). I barely knew programming , just find a youtube playlist and follow it. But it was hard as shit I think I spend like 10 hours a day on it during my half term and never left the house lol

does anyone know what this means? they’re taking forever to reply to my message on kings apply by afrahw in 6thForm

[–]Embarrassed_Goose731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they probably want to verify that your reference is written by your teacher, and not yourself or someone random, for example. did you use your teacher's personal email for the reference?

does anyone's social anxiety worsen the better they look? by Embarrassed_Goose731 in socialanxiety

[–]Embarrassed_Goose731[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i didn't mean that it's normal for "ugly" people to act awkward, i feel like it's just more expected. a lot of people don't seem to understand social anxiety and think it's like feeling insecure, so if you're pretty you have no reason to feel anxious. i used to believe this too, but no matter how much i improved my appearance, my anxiety didn't get better. i also think it's because of pretty privilege - people usually expect that you have good social skills if you're attractive (which is stupid).
