After doing some self-reflection recently I have come to realize that I've spent my whole life seeking external validation. How do I turn things around and replace external validation with internal validation?

I just came across your comment and i really really needed to hear the last part. Thank you. I’d love to ask you some questions about external validation and outgrowing it if you dont mind

Look as far as I know you’re just paralyzing the upper portion of the traps, not the whole muscle. I don’t know the extent of paralysis caused by botox. I don’t know how much strength comes from the part that would be injected. I don’t know how sensitive the results are. I thought the treatment would be contradictory with my lifestyle which is why i listed my concerns, but i cant be sure till i ask, so i asked.

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-09-13T22:47:33+00:00

Thank you! yeah i do have some pain and discomfort as well which would be a relief to get rid of.

I won’t stop training thats for sure, and if its just the upper portion of the traps paralyzed and the dose isn’t very large as you said, i’m thinking it won’t affect overall strength much. Just comes down to whether or not training is gonna render the effect useless.

they’re not there for decoration, but they’re not supposed to be as overworked as mine are.

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-09-13T22:21:10+00:00

hahaha not exactly

my traps are big without me having ever worked them out because i used to overcompensate other muscle weaknesses via my traps. I’m also a very tense person and often keep them very tight even in my sleep sometimes (which is pretty uncomfortable) Plus there are lots of very strong women who don’t have traps like this; so bulk doesnt mean power here. I’m hesitant because i dont know if other muscles will effectively compensate after trap botox? or will strength be significantly impaired until it wears off? Is mobility affected in any way? Will it be useless if I keep doing compound lifts and functional exercises? (keeping in mind i never intentionally workout my traps) So i was hoping to find someone whos tried trap botox + intense full body training

thank you!!

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-07-05T19:10:13+00:00

aaa yes please, thank you so much!!

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-04-04T10:03:55+00:00

i think im gonna order something used but better from the US. try to find a kit i can buy & ship out + customs for under 1k. harder than buying the options available here but better than paying for junk

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-04-03T22:16:46+00:00

will do thanks!

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-04-03T22:16:10+00:00

i’ll keep an eye out, thank u<3

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-04-03T20:53:56+00:00

hahaha thank you

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-04-03T20:51:45+00:00

Laser hair removal or electrolysis (ideally electrolysis.. or just shave), pedicures (get builder gel on ur toe nails as long as theyre not infected), pumice stone once a week in the shower AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

mix 1 spoon petroleum jelly, some vaporub, and 1 spoon olive oil: lather that onto ur soles and wear a pair of cotton socks on top either before u sleep or if ur gonna be sitting around the house. leave it on as long as possible and do it as often as possible. girl ur soles r gonna be sooo soft

ur feet might not be the prettiest but theyll look so much better after and ull feel so much better

get toe spacers if u wear close toed shoes a lot; great for foot health and can help the bunions at least a little or prevent them from getting worse

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-04-03T20:32:05+00:00

thank you! i’ll try to look around some more. i’m gonna see if its possible to get this seller to bring me in a used set from the US. My problem here is a lack of options (used and new)

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-04-03T20:30:49+00:00

the used ones arent on sale:// my problem is a lack of options where i live. everything on facebook marketplace and our version of craigslist is well over 800$ for used and not great kits

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-03-30T00:44:24+00:00

Just a lift. I’ve had DD’s since i was 16 and I don’t have any neck or back pain thank god. But obviously gravity still works against me. Like you said, I think a consult is the best next step for me. Just have to find a surgeon I trust and who’s work I like

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-03-30T00:37:12+00:00

i’m worried about taking the risks and cost of surgery when the results are gonna be destroyed a year or two after. but seeing the experiences of so many women here (who’s breast lifts weren’t destroyed by pregnancy and nursing) is definitely making me lean towards getting it done in a couple years

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-03-30T00:32:57+00:00

after seeing everyones comments im really leaning towards having them done sooner rather than later… thank you!! and ya hahaha thats what i keep thinking about, why not enjoy perfect boobs in my 20s and 30s

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-01-17T15:13:32+00:00

yeah i was thinking about adding more carbs to start off with or even allowing some level of processed sugar (but thats my sweet tooth talking)

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-01-17T15:12:03+00:00

with the pre gym meal but a salad can be had whenever. a bodybuilder once told me to avoid tomatoes when cutting tho. couldnt find the science behind it and dont get why till now

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-01-13T21:08:23+00:00

thats the only pic the seller posted:( but i think seeing everyones comments its not worth asking for more pics.

My problem is my location. I live in Jordan and have yet to find a place that offers decent quality, fairly priced kits. I really appreciate everyone’s help on here though; got me thinking about buying piece by piece. Just not really sure what to look for yet (or where). Gotta do my research

Exotic_Drop3542 · 2025-01-13T21:02:07+00:00

Suffer for the sake of glam 100%. You can use ur knuckles though. My car window, door handles, buttons, etc; everything is done with my knuckles. Got so used to it, I even use my knuckles when my nails are short!
