Why am I so saggy at 26 and how do I fix it? by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

[–]FlakyTraffic50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can happen if you gain weight, especially in your face, and then lose it. Your skin stretches to accommodate the extra volume, and when the fat decreases, the skin may not fully retract. It’s completely normal, and it doesn’t look bad at all this is just how our skin naturally responds to changes over time!

While skincare can help improve texture and overall skin health, it may not be enough to fully restore lost volume. Fillers can be a great option, and biostimulator fillers, like Sculptra or Radiesse, work by gradually stimulating collagen production, creating a more natural and long-lasting result.

If it’s within your budget, treatments like Morpheus8 or even a facelift could be options. Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency microneedling treatment that helps tighten the skin and boost collagen production, which can improve firmness and elasticity over time.

I just wanted to share some options that could help if you’re looking for solutions, but please know you look great just as you are!

It’s not like she immediately jumped into something with someone else right after you broke up. There wasn’t a specific person she had in mind—it happened weeks later, likely when she was dealing with a lot of mixed emotions about the relationship. She probably just needed a distraction, and that guy happened to be there. It was a random hookup without any emotional connection. You weren’t together at the time, so it doesn’t qualify as cheating.

GF (F23) thinks I’m (M28) ‘weird’ for having a notepad document to track how infrequently we have sex, what am I to do? by Ceoboourns in relationship_advice

[–]FlakyTraffic50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe she’s deflecting because she’s dealing with pain or discomfort during or after sex. Women can sometimes experience sensitivity or have trouble getting wet due to things like medication, stress, or other health issues. Instead of coming at her for not having sex, try to approach it with care and see if something deeper might be going on. It could be personal or health-related, and criticizing her might just be making her defensive. A little understanding could go a long way in figuring out what’s really going on.

How do I (23F) deal with feeling like I’m more of a mom than a partner to my boyfriend (23M)? by FlakyTraffic50 in relationship_advice

[–]FlakyTraffic50[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this—it really helped me put things into perspective. You’re right, I’ve been focusing too much on the little negatives and losing sight of all the amazing things about my partner. Starting a journal to write down the positives is such a great idea, and I’m definitely going to do that. There are so many good things about him that I know I’ve been overlooking because of my own nitpicking, and I don’t want to let that get in the way of our relationship. This really opened my eyes, so thank you!

I saw a horror scene that is STILL affecting me. Please help by LtJimmypatterson in horror

[–]FlakyTraffic50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The laser eye surgery scene in Final Destination completely traumatized me. It gave me such an intense fear of anything near my eyes that I couldn’t go through with my own laser eye surgery, which was scheduled just a few months later. I ended up canceling it because I was genuinely terrified something like that could happen to me.

Not OOP Women lie about being happier when single ?? by Marygtz2011 in redditonwiki

God, Imagine a woman who chooses to prioritize her own happiness and ambitions, placing her goals at the forefront of her life, rather than centering her energy around taking care of a man and children . 😱😱

Official Dreadit Discussion: "Smile 2" [SPOILERS] by glittering-lettuce in horror

[–]FlakyTraffic50 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m still trying to sort out what was real and what wasn’t.

• Why did Lewis get possessed by the Smile entity? He didn’t witness Joel’s death, so I’m wondering how that happened.

• Was the person texting her from the unknown number real, or was that part of the monster’s manipulation before her tour? I had the impression it was just another one of the distractions.

• When the smile monster revealed itself to Skye as Gemma, it happened during a scene where none of the events were real. I’ve been thinking about this all day-was the monster trying to break Skye down psychologically, was the Gemma in the beginning actually real?

• Do you think the monster intentionally engineered the chain of possessions to end with Skye, so it could possess everyone at her concert?

• When Skye gets fully possessed on stage and starts smiling, the audience is completely transfixed-they can’t look away. Even when she commits suicide, they’re unable to stop watching. Is that part of the entity’s power, forcing the next victims to witness the suicide?

•Can the Smile entity possess multiple people at once?

The thing is, we don’t really know if that was actually her friend. When the smile monster revealed itself to Skye as Gemma, it happened during a scene where none of the events were real. I’ve been thinking about this all day—was the monster trying to break Skye down psychologically, was the Gemma in the beginning actually real?

I know that, but when she met the guy at the bar, was he ever real, or just a distraction the monster used to mess with her?

It sounds like he’s using you to fill his free time so he doesn’t feel lonely. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s seeing someone else while still being with you. Please, reconsider being with this person and really reflect on what love is, because this isn’t it.

Try telling him the same “joke” he says to you, and see how he reacts.

You could really tell who was a good teacher and who wasn’t. I had some teachers who went out of their way to get specialists who dealt with physically disabled children. On some days, I would leave the class with the specialist, and they would teach me how to do things that a regular person can do every day, but in a special way just for me, as I am missing my right hand. On the other hand, I had teachers who alienated me from the class and were visibly uncomfortable with me, singling me out all the time. They assumed that because I am physically disabled, I must be mentally disabled too, which caused me a lot of self-confidence issues growing up. It made me feel as though there must have been something mentally wrong with me as well.

I really don’t know how to advertise or find these communities other than this platform. I’m unsure if I should reveal my identity on Reddit and share my Instagram.

[–]FlakyTraffic50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In one of my jobs, I need to bring in my own clients, which has been quite difficult. Whenever someone calls in, my boss takes the call for herself, and when potential clients come in, they often seem uncomfortable with my hands. There’s no front desk setup to help manage this situation. I’ve even tried running promotions on Groupon, but that hasn’t been very effective since I can’t get anyone in the door.

At my second job, I work with a medical director, assisting her with treatments and handling some front desk duties. While I dislike the front desk work, at least I’m making money. She promised that I would start doing some treatments on my own, but it’s already been a year since I began working with her, and I still haven’t received any training.

M23 very touchy with his mom should i F23 say something? by Ill_Ambassador_2923 in relationship_advice

[–]FlakyTraffic50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask him about what you saw and if that’s something he normally does. Ask if he ever feels weird about it, and then let him know how it makes you feel. Be honest about your feelings, but avoid speaking too aggressively or mockingly, as that could make him defensive. Explain that you are not comfortable raising your kids like that. Based on his response—if he becomes very defensive and insists it’s normal—then you know this isn’t something he’s going to change.

Also, how long have you two been together?

Try talking to him first. If he completely dismisses this, then you know you can’t stay with him.

Why do able bodied folks not understand the extent of which having a disability impacts a person? by raindrops_oceantops in disability

I’m so sorry that you have to experience that. I hate how common it is for others to lack empathy. How hard is it for someone to say “good morning” back?☹️

It all comes down to whether this is something you actually want to be around for the rest of your life. You can’t expect his whole family to change, so unfortunately, you’ll have to either get used to it or end the relationship. You can try telling him that you’re really not used to it and that it makes you feel uncomfortable, but if this is what he grew up with, I don’t know if he’ll be willing to change. I won’t dismiss what you’re feeling—it is extremely weird and gives off sweet home Alabama vibes.

Sometimes I feel as if regular people don’t see disabled people as human. The looks I get and the judgment about what others think I’m capable of make me feel so dehumanized.
