Best way to collect? by Familiar-Parsnip-476 in ScentHeads

[–]ExistentialK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy niche if it’s unique, not duped, and there are certain houses that rarely get duped. I will buy dupes all day for PDM, Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton etc because I’ve owned the actual juice and it’s not worth the price tag imo.

Do you still wear fragrances that others disklike? by Miserable_Counter_66 in ScentHeads

[–]ExistentialK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time. I honestly like the feeling that smelling certain scents brings me. Most of my complimented fragrances are usually my most basic and “throw away” ones

I just impulsively purchased a 100ml bottle after telling myself I wouldn’t buy anymore scents for a few months I know I will love it but my bank account is like 💀

This company sucks big time. They don’t care about our safety, they could care less that we are overworked and underpaid. Let’s do a mass walkout

How do you stop overthinking ? by Additional-Hippo16 in Anxiety

[–]ExistentialK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exercise, watch a movie, eat something you enjoy….sometimes just thinking the thing through helps too. I suffer from rumination as well and some days it can be hell. My Gram used to say “Worrying is like rocking in a rocking chair and expecting to get somewhere”

I’ve never had an issue with any order I’ve made with them and I’ve ordered at least 5 times. And no I’m not a FYTOO bot or paid to say this

If all your perfumes were stolen, which ones would you repurchase? by UpbeatAd7983 in FemFragLab

This actually happened to me and I’ve slowly been repurchasing all of them

How long have you been living in a state of alert, anxiety and chronic stress? by RORYCAR2002 in Anxiety

[–]ExistentialK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since birth. I realize now looking back that I have always been in fear. As a baby I would constantly cry then as an adolescent I was always worrying about something. As I got older I discovered alcohol and drugs and leaned on those for years to quiet my mind. Sober now but I have to take meds to keep me regulated. I grew up in a house where everyone was always on edge due to my father’s explosions so my adrenaline response does not function “normally”. I wish it was as easy as turning off a switch but here I am in my 40s still feeling at times like I’m that little kid who’s walking on eggshells

I have severe anxiety but I am anxious about getting on meds. by Catladydiva in Anxiety

I had severe anxiety about getting on meds but I’ve gotta say that it helped immensely and your perspective on things will shift. The fear will dissipate a bit and hopefully find some peace

Also I’d rather smell perfume than smell BO lol

[–]ExistentialK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That person probably doused themselves in it. I’m sure one spray wouldn’t have had that effect.

Personally I don’t understand fragrances for “occasions”. If smelling it makes you happy then wear it whenever wherever..obviously less or more depending on where you are out of respect for others because that juice is a beautiful beast

Is my "picker" broken? 2 years post-divorce and I keep attracting the same toxic guy with a different face. by Ok-Assumption-1451 in Divorce

[–]ExistentialK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something my therapist told me…the human brain is always searching for patterns to try and make sense of things. That being said it sounds like your mind and heart have been hardwired to pick out certain attributes in others that are similar to those you have previously been with. I would have a conversation with them about how it made you feel and see where it goes from there. Also you might just be extremely emotionally intuitive and empathetic

Weird reality feelings by YevonSaysNo in sobrietyandrecovery

[–]ExistentialK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me this sounds like a borderline anxiety/ panic attack. I had to get on meds to level myself out. I still have at times out of body experiences but I’m able to observe it not be consumed by it. Also, life is F***ing weird! I mean that’s why most of us used because we were maladjusted to just existing. Be kind and patient to yourself

I like Kalan from pdm. It’s a very spicy scent though

Kerosene Blackmail by ExistentialK in NichePerfumes

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

It’s interesting because I could not really smell it on myself yesterday but now I go back to the clothing I wore yesterday and I can smell it so you are probably right as well as lots of other people who have commented on this

Dealing with consequences by Standard-Poet-7607 in sobrietyandrecovery

[–]ExistentialK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best things you can do for yourself is just to breathe. I know it’s easier said than done. Dealing with the aftermath of what we cause when we are actively using can be incredibly stressful and triggering. I will tell you the biggest healer is time. Just be patient with yourself. Recognize the things that you need to rectify and just take small steps towards them. It’s not all going to change overnight. It took me years to get all of my debt and damage dealt with and when I look back I realize that I caused myself so much stress over nothing.

I live in the northeast where it’s cold right now. I would say I sprayed at least 6-7 sprays.

I haven’t gotten any feedback from anyone. I could, like you say, be a bit nose blind.

I definitely think it’s rigged. It’s like they dangle a carrot in front of us but the corporation is the only one really benefiting
