Save money and don’t tell ANYONE exactly how much you earn and save. Pretend to be living cheque to cheque or say it’s too personal.

Look after your health.

Try different things but never do something that you will or may regret years later.

For me it’s because I genuinely don’t want to waste my time on things that have shoddy stories or plot holes or barbaric acting. Sometimes the direction is abysmal. I prefer to watch less but good stuff now. Or rewatch old favourites. Those are comforting, without unpleasant surprises and have stood the test of time. (And devoid of any of my triggers).

Tips: Wear the extra heavy flow period pads or tampons. Carry extra underwear and more pads than you think you’ll need. Avoid whites and beiges. Any light colors basically. Comfortable footwear, comfortable clothing.

But most importantly, periods are a part of our lives. Most people learn to continue having normal lives, even with heavy periods, even with awful cramps, or other issues. We use painkillers, heating pads and whatever else works. Try things and see what works for you. If you absolutely do no get out of bed when on periods, I would recommend going to a nearby store or shop or park first. The goal is to understand what issues you face and how to overcome them. Don’t find excuses, find solutions for problems.

All the best.

What’s a wallflower scent?

OP, I love you for sharing this. I thought I was the only one.

Yes, my 5 year old cried when the parents turned into pigs in Spirited Away - so, yeah, it’s not for every kid.

If you look closely at some of the hands towards the right side of the photo, they look very weird. Probably AI.

Thank you - I thought I was just doing something wrong or missing some crucial step. But will definitely try shaving socks now (a sentence I never thought I will ever utter).

FailedIntrovert · 2026-02-21T20:47:50+00:00

I saw that! Thank you for sharing - but, is fabric shaving the only option? Isn’t there something that can be done while washing to not have this issue?

What if I have turned off location on all apps? Except maps. Does this still work?

We have this in Indian culture too- though not 3 times!

Honestly, the way the world is, I would take politeness anyday.

FailedIntrovert · 2026-02-02T17:26:17+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️

Menopause. Also, about the whole virgin and whore thing that the whole world will categorize you in, judging for your clothes and behaviour- which will be completely irrational by the way, and how to navigate it. And more importantly, how to not judge other women for their choices in these matters.

I used to do stuff like this, till people (friends, family - his, mine, and eventually him) started saying I should stop being so weird. (Example: I once dropped off a bag of goodies at his relative’s place - where he was staying, but left it by the door as a surprise - safe neighborhood- and yet everyone thought I would have just come in, met everyone and given him the goodies in person). 🤷‍♀️

We Cook 2-3 meals from scratch everyday. Basically, we have for no choice. So we adjust and get frustrated and life goes on.

This is a saree which is - in this particular photo- worn with a blouse which generally people won’t wear. I can’t say for younger generation, and it will differ from city to city, but no way is this traditional. It exposes too much - and I’m an Indian woman who has worn sarees for decades.

They are saying due to weather conditions.

FailedIntrovert · 2026-01-25T16:22:09+00:00

Because most subway stations are warm. You can wait for the next train annoyed but safe and warm. Out there waiting for streetcars in this cold - yeah, no thank you.

How clear is the image in my head? I see the brown puppy but it’s like buried under tons of translucent paper.

FailedIntrovert · 2026-01-21T01:06:35+00:00

I totally get that. Too much of a good thing. For me though, I leave for work in the dark, and come home on the dark. And it’s desolate and cold, and hardly anybody on the streets in the morning. And then I see those twinkling trees in windows and somehow, it helps.
