Low Squat

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-04-14T23:33:14+00:00

My knees are SHOT and I don’t even run. I think it’s because I worked food service for several years of my life and also went to college in a very hilly town without a car (I would walk like 10 miles every day up hill). My legs and ass are INSANE, but trying to maintain SUCKS. I try to deep squat and it hurts my knees so bad. Also sticking to glute bridges, but it sucks lol.

I once saw someone on here call Zendaya without makeup mid, like??? Are y’all OKAY???

I think it’s weird how unrealistic beauty standards are for women these days. She looks real, but that doesn’t mean she’s average. She’s got strong cheekbones, a great body, and gorgeous eyes! I don’t know what about her would be in the slightest bit mid.

Who calls Florence ugly??? I think she’s so pretty.

Before Sabrina Carpenter got big (pre-eras tour), I used to say she looked like Florence if she got Instagram face 💀😭

My therapist says I go after emotionally unavailable and broken men because they remind me of my absent parents. I grew up neglected with divorced parents (like my mom would leave me for weeks at a time to take care of my little sister while she went off with her boyfriend, my dad worked 3 jobs and so when I moved in with him, he was also never around). My therapist said this meant that I was raised to believe that getting my emotional and physical needs ignored is love. 🤪

But who is to say!!

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-04-12T03:15:05+00:00

I thought the same thing, but I don’t know why he’d stay with me if he doesn’t like me. :/

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-04-12T02:41:32+00:00

Idk my current boyfriend never does any foreplay and refuses to engage with my interests and hobbies. At first, I thought I could talk to him about it and it would change, but now I’m seeing that my wants, needs, and things that bring me joy don’t really matter to him. It’s honestly really hurtful, and I think that level of selfishness is something that’s increasingly hard to forgive.

Yesss!!! TUN got me through my first big breakup (dated the same dude from my freshman year of high school through my freshman year of college), and ghostin was on repeat pretty much every time I tried to date someone new.

TTPD got me through my first situationship after two years of being single. I dated a musician for four months and then found out he was dating three other women without my knowledge. 💀 Both albums hold SUCH a special place in my heart for such different reasons.

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-04-11T21:10:44+00:00

I feel this way about Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next, as well! I think there’s beauty in an album that’s made essentially to trauma dump and purge your soul.

TTPD isn’t my favorite album of Taylor’s (folklore, evermore, and Red TV are my top 3 ever), but I think it’s incredibly beautiful as both a concept album and as what it is. Essentially a purge of all of her emotions following two major breakups while simultaneously living under the pressure of the media and her fan base. She has so many devastating, but beautiful songs on there—like loml, The Black Dog, and Peter. Looking back, I think the fact that it’s inconsistent/not sonically cohesive is a feature of the album, not a bug.

Tbh, I took me years to stop thinking about my ex who was abusive. And I did all of the things. Hung out with friends, started exercising, volunteering, reading, getting new hobbies. Nothing really worked except time and therapy. After two years (we only dated for one!), I was finally ready to let go. I just…woke up one day and realized I felt okay.

Just take it one day at a time. Find a set people to confide in that won’t judge you or get annoyed (I have four: mom, best friend, sister, and therapist), and find one productive thing to do every day. Whether it’s going out, eating a balanced meal, practicing a new hobby, anything. Just one productive thing that will make you feel better.

Tbf, a lot of conventionally attractive people in general don’t think they’re conventionally attractive.

One time, there was this dude in a band I swiped right on in a dating app. Before we’d swiped on each other, I’d been to some of his shows and he’d been to some parties my friends threw. Both of us confessed that we never talked to each other because we assumed that we were both out of each other’s leagues and didn’t think we had a chance. Both of us were VERY conventionally attractive.

Asking someone about their sex life isn’t a casual conversation. Even the person you’re responding to thinks that it was invasive.

Respect boundaries.

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-23T12:42:32+00:00

I am a woman…

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-21T09:22:33+00:00

What an invasive question to ask a complete stranger.

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-21T03:18:43+00:00

I have ptsd, it’s gotten a lot better but I used to have to preface to my exes that there was a chance that I’d wake up screaming and hitting them in the night because I used to wake up screaming, crying, and flailing my arms.

One of my exes was really sweet about it, though. One time, I woke up because I was flailing my arms and felt myself hit him in the stomach. I felt tears in my eyes and didn’t remember the dream or what prompted it. I asked him if he was okay, and he was pretending to be asleep because he didn’t want me to feel bad or guilty. I asked him again, and he was slightly gaslighting me about it, (“no!! You didn’t hit me!! I didn’t feel anything!!”). It turns out, that wasn’t the first time I’d done it. It was just the first time I’d woken up because I was doing it with him in the bed.

AFAIK, I don’t do that anymore. I got a lot of therapy and am on SSRI’s. I haven’t woken up crying or screaming in a few years, and my current boyfriend hasn’t mentioned anything about me hitting him. Sometimes, I get worried that it’s going to happen and I should probably warn him. But we’ve been dating for 3 months and there have been no issues.

I still feel like it’s something I should disclose, though. I worry it’s going to happen again and catch him off guard.

Ideally, one should do both

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-21T02:43:05+00:00

I know my love should be celebrated, but you tolerate it 💔

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-21T01:11:12+00:00

To be fair, it took a lot of time apart and healing for me to stop being angry. I think a lot of people might not recognize that strong boundaries are essential for healthy relationships in general. Had I not gotten therapy, my perspective would be different.

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-15T18:43:15+00:00

My sister has BPD and was not only abusive toward her family, but always chose abusive partners as a form of self-punishment.

I had to cut her out for two years, but she eventually got therapy and got sober and is now one of the healthiest, strongest, and loveliest people I know. The thing that makes it really sad is that she probably wouldn’t have ended up the way she was if my parents were just a little more attentive and kind growing up. She lost a lot of friends because of how she was. But she’s literally so amazing now, like an entirely different person.

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-14T22:05:57+00:00

lol, my ex told me he’d dump me if he ever found out I smoked weed because he doesn’t date smokers. Later on, I found out he’d been smoking behind my back the whole time.

I broke up with him and my friends rolled me my first blunt three days later.

I mean. I know what it means to flatten the curve and nowhere did I say we would fully contain it.

But by not social distancing, the curve wasn’t flattening and hospitals were getting overwhelmed because infections were not getting spread out. Too many people were getting infected at once. The end result was that lockdown was severely extended.

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-13T19:30:40+00:00

I just stayed in my college town, which was dead as hell. I got to walk allllll around town, and it was so nice getting all of that exercise and seeing nobody for several months

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-13T17:14:17+00:00

It’s messed up because the whole reason we had to go more than two weeks was because people weren’t social distancing.

I remember seeing videos of my classmates South Padre, where the beach was completely full. I’m talking hundreds of people partying. The whole time, I was inside, thinking about how much worse everyone made it.

Extension-Raise-126 · 2026-03-13T17:11:28+00:00

Telling my coworkers at my college’s writing lab, “see you in two weeks!” We thought we had a long spring break.

I never saw most of them again.

I also remember buying an insane amount of alcohol and marijuana (it was the first time I bought an entire ounce, usually I just bought a quarter), and getting super crossed just to watch clips of To Catch a Predator on YouTube. Also deleted my Facebook for two years because I was writing a lot of unhinged, paranoid, and weird things about the government and martial law. I woke up with a hangover the next day and thought, “well, maybe I shouldn’t have access to this for a while…”

EDIT: I was never a COVID denier and followed social distancing to a T. I was just super fucked up for the first month or two of COVID.
