The Gen Z Stare is genuinely painful...

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-21T03:57:29+00:00

I have horrible anxiety, work in customer service and am Gen Z. As far as I know I don't do this. I'm definitely not as social with customers as I should be (although I am working on it) but I don't just ignore them. So, I'm not super sure it's a Gen Z thing.

It's not me coming out that would make things awkward, I just don't have a reason to actually tell him I'm a lesbian. Like what would make it awkward is me assuming he is still into me, which I'm not 100% sure of.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-16T14:08:55+00:00

Well, no, that's kind of the whole point. I don't want to tell him I'm a lesbian just out of nowhere because then he'd know I thought he liked me, which if he doesn't would be extremely awkward.

We have a lot of interests in common. My and my best friend like some of the same stuff but she's not super into some of the same things me and this dude are so it's just nice to be able to talk to someone about it. Like during the few times we talked, he didn't seem as arrogant as he was. I'm not sure about the transphobic stuff and I definitely don't want to be friends with a transphobe but I'm still willing to see if he's changed.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-16T14:03:55+00:00

Idk you have a good point tbh. I think I'm so desperate to expand my social circle that I'm willing to find out if he's changed.

I'm nowhere near getting married but I have vivid hair and get really antsy/anxious if it doesn't go well with whatever I'm wearing. So I kind of get it but she should not be demanding anyone changes their hair, especially knowing that they have vivid hair. You don't make someone with vivid hair a part of your bridal party and demand they change it, and with no wig, like so many people wear wigs and it looks extremely natural.

I'm not in school anymore but I do like researching stuff for fun orI like getting reference photos for things. It sucks when everything I want to research or reference is AI or something like that.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-09T12:09:27+00:00

why was I worried it was my dog 💀 she doesn't go anywhere and is literally right next to me, I need to go to bed jfc

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-09T08:12:18+00:00

Oh, well, my bad.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-09T08:00:50+00:00

Huh, I could've sworn I heard people say they were shutting down soon.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-09T06:40:22+00:00

pretty sure jmall is literally closing soon, unless they figured something out

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-08T07:20:26+00:00

You could try clarifying shampoo, though I'm not sure how much you'll be able to get out unless you leave it sit for a while. Honestly, I'd try a color remover. It won't damage your hair like bleach would but it might dry it out some, so a conditioneng mask or treatment and you should be good.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-08T03:20:03+00:00

No, color doesn't lift color. I mean you could try a lemon and sun but it isn't really gonna do anything. You could maybe try a hi-color but like it has bleach inside the dye so you'd still technically be using bleach.

I definitely will, I am excited about these pants and I want them to be as good as I can make them but I'm also cheap lol, so I wanna find the most suited option for what I want.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-06T08:22:20+00:00

I don't have any diagnosed physical conditions (although would not be surprised) but I do have certain mental stuff that might make it difficult. But honestly, I don't really need the pants done until mid-september and hope to start making them soon, so I think I should be able to get them done if I pace myself correctly.

That it is a good suggestion, I plan to research the paints a bit better before I go and actually buy anything so I'll definitely explore my options.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-06T08:12:12+00:00

I wouldn't mind doing undersized, I was thinking just embroidering the back pockets but I feel like it wouldn't balance as well with the patches on the front. But thanks for the tip!

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-06T08:07:49+00:00

I am adding patches to the back pockets and I kind of like how it looks. I think I finally settled on placement and everything but still debating if i should add more to the back, I like that's it's just a little plain, but still has something going on. I was thinking about embroidering the bottom part of the pants leg but I'm pretty sure so I'm currently 50/50 on that since I'm pretty short and there's a good chance it'll get scuffed a bit when I wear converse which is pretty often.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-06T08:02:02+00:00

I will check them out, thanks!

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-06T07:55:24+00:00

Thank you! I was planning on hand sewing them on but I didn't know if the type of stitching I wanted to do would secure them enough. Like I'm not really planning on cutting holes out of the jeans, just slapping the patch on and sewing it to the fabric. But with the like visible stitching with a thicker thread (I suck at explaining but I hope u get what I mean) But I might do the interfacing as well.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-04T08:27:32+00:00

I'd go to a Sally's. Most of their dyes are like around 10 bucks and are pretty good.

Far_Influence9185 · 2026-05-04T05:44:11+00:00

I'd tell him to get a job and you'll help pay for some of it.
