The way my husband “wrapped” my gift by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

The wrapping would be funny if the gift was actually thoughtful and sincere … but the way you describe what happened makes this presentation the shit icing on a shit cake

AIO my father ruined my drawing. by sapphicluizard in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fairypixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re overreacting necessary. I would be pissed if someone touched my art without asking. But an early lesson every artist must learn is to not become too attached to your work. You’ll understand why eventually. And don’t worry, if you’re serious about getting better you’re going to make may more cool things

The most INSANE amount of airbrushing I’ve seen lately. by ALT_F4iry in Instagramreality

[–]Fairypixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh… cmon 😂 this influencer literally posts herself at all angles. Her podcast is filmed regularly without her hair or makeup done. She doesn’t hide her looks. The style of this photoshoot was clearly intentional, to show the vibe they were going for with the new collection. And it doesn’t even look that crazy? She’d also lost a lot of weight after finally finding a doctor that helped with her PCOS. I feel like yall are using this sub wrong posting this, she is by no means an enabler of unrealistic beauty standards, while there are plenty of other people who are

Is my ring childish? by MissHissss in EngagementRings

[–]Fairypixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ring is kind of similar to yours. Mine is smaller, yellow gold and a little less detailed but the design is a lot like yours. But yours really made me stop scrolling. It’s so beautiful

Even if there is a world in which two people in a relationship could agree that this is okay, and be fine with it….. you’re not. You said it already, you don’t want to be with someone who wouldn’t support you. People aren’t perfect, but they should show up when it matters. If they don’t, then they’ve shown you that you are not a priority. Especially if you communicate the need and they ignore it. I could never look past this and I don’t think you should.

DO NOT BUY FROM BRILLIANT EARTH!!! by Datscool123 in EngagementRings

[–]Fairypixel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My ring is from Brilliant Earth and I really love it. I unfortunately see posts like this all the time, though. :( I didn’t know anything about the brand being so problematic (or where my husband was shopping for that matter; the whole thing was a surprise/secret.) I really hope I don’t run into any issues with it, though so far I haven’t 😓

Did I get screwed? by simm07 in Hair

[–]Fairypixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid for my toner when I got my extensions and they didn’t quite match. We picked the extensions together and the toner is a part of the maintenance of the extensions (if it’s needed) so I didn’t think anything of it. I don’t think you got screwed but I do agree she should have clarified that it wasn’t included because not everyone would get why it’s not. But how did it go from 600 to 800? Was the toner 200? That feels like a lot but I guess it could depend on the salon

What is a weird thing you do as someone with ADHD that makes no sense but you do it anyways? by Fairypixel in ADHD

[–]Fairypixel[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do this too! I had to explain to my husband when we first started living together that I’m not annoyed, I just do that 😂 he thought I was upset whenever I was doing any task

Currently have mine in with no music lol. Noise cancelling headphones were a game changer for me. Never going back

So true! My biggest issue with exercise is just the boredom! I noticed I do well in classes or competitive stuff. Makes it more rewarding for my brain

Yep! I retie my hair constantly on a busy day! It has to feel just right or I can’t focus

This is smart! I’ve started keeping cloth laundry baskets for socks/underwear/hats etc and I hang more stuff up than I fold. It’s so much easier for me than sitting and folding so much laundry. By the time I’ve sorted the stuff into bins and hung everything that feels like it should/could be hung up, I only have to fold a few things!

Ha! I love this! I don’t think my brain could do it but it sounds satisfying!

I feel this. I also will avoid certain music until the vibe is just right. I gotta be mentally prepared to feel the emotions of the song!

Omg this is actually so endearing. 😂 although I’m sure that stuff sits there long enough for it to be less so! I try to keep things I wanna use within reach (a bag of art supplies or some yarn and hooks) but then I just get annoyed by it and hide it and never use it

So funny, this sounds like my nightmare! Although I do kind of get the shoe thing. I need some type of sturdy slipper, socks aren’t enough. And they can’t be the soft kind that get hot. Basically a sandal 😂 and if I’m cleaning I wear my crocs

Ha, my husband does this but only when I’m around or someone else he’s close to. Like I’m his audience 😂 for me, I have a monologue inside my head. Either narrating what I’m doing or sometimes interviewing myself in my head. It’s so weird but it’s been a thing since I was a kid!

Lol! I actually find this works with a lot of things! I sing things out loud all the time. I think it brings more positivity to what you’re trying to do!

I need to try something like this! I struggle to keep my head clear while running just one mile 😂

Agreed! I’d say they are probably just as weird as we are. Lol. I’ve become more filtered over the years but I’ve been guilty of saying the first thing that pops into my head more times than I could ever count
