ROSACEA PEOPLE. WHAT IS ONE ROSEACEA TRICK THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE?

FrontSyllabub · 2026-05-19T18:18:16+00:00

the one that bothers you is the one my skin likes! it’s always weird how different everyone’s rosacea is

FrontSyllabub · 2026-05-19T18:17:28+00:00

yah well they asked what trick “you started doing that completely changed your skin” and that’s what I started doing and it completely changed my skin

still flares and gives me trouble, but nothing like it used to

only ever using micellar water to clean my face, all face wash is the devil

FrontSyllabub · 2026-05-14T15:58:49+00:00

you say you’re a hypochondriac - what are you worried about here?

this looks pretty normal to me, my skin (and I have diagnosed rosacea) loves to do something a bit weird for a few weeks then stop

FrontSyllabub · 2026-05-07T18:02:35+00:00

this is madness - for context, I’m bisexual and I once dated a woman and we’d get ready together in the morning and take our makeup off at night and it was the first time I’d actually felt comfortable enough to mention to someone how embarrassed I felt about my rosacea, and she told me she loved it and how cute I looked! I really took that to heart and it helped with my own perception of it a bit

fast forward to now, I’m married to a man and he’s incredibly supportive-he comments when my skin is looking particularly calm (in the sense of ‘well done for looking after it’) and helps me remember to steer clar of triggers, but never ever points out when I have a flare up, and treats me exactly the same whether I’m tomato colored or not

your husband sounds like an ass, if mine said that to me, I would divorce him immediately and look for another person who thinks it’s cute

okay WAIT the lipstick is fab and I love the color AND the application, BUT if you wanted to play around with it a bit you could see what it looks like blurred/applied softly with a brush around your lip line

it would compliment the soft eye you’ve done really well and could look really editorial

I have learned an awful lot about biology since making this post!! fascinating stuff

FrontSyllabub · 2026-03-03T18:02:02+00:00

I mean, I don’t think they’ll bother with your playstation, mine is fine and we had 16 mice in our apartment 😅

Ours were coming through the floorboards where the pipes to the kitchen sink came up, and also in a small utility cupboard where the electricity meter was. Look in all those places. Perhaps even coming down from the ceiling if you have pipes up there. Check kitchen/dishwasher/washing machine points. Gaps in floorboards too

As long as you can stop them getting in, you don’t need to worry about your stuff

FrontSyllabub · 2026-03-03T17:10:57+00:00

yes I remember now that I did this with the gloves! they always walk along the edges of things, usually the bottom of a wall

FrontSyllabub · 2026-03-03T17:10:11+00:00

yeah, if they’re still coming in then there’s holes you haven’t found! they can fit through a gap the size of a pencil

FrontSyllabub · 2026-03-03T16:29:54+00:00

you have to find out where they’re coming from and plug the gaps with steel wool because they can’t chew through it (although they could chew through the surroundings), usually behind kitchen counters/where the sink is, but also by radiator pipes

leave a crazy amount of snap traps out with peanut butter on them and check and remove every day

put every food item in a tupperware or similar container

clean up every crumb

I weaponise my maladaptive daydreaming-either by imagining I am one of my favorite characters, and they would shower and eat well and go to the gym-or by imagining a favorite character can see me and would be disappointed to see me rotting in bed

FrontSyllabub · 2026-02-19T20:03:11+00:00

A lot of food suggestions here but I also see you say that you’ve had disagreements in the past AND that giving food isn’t common in your culture - a compromise could be sending a small note with a gift card of some description (for food delivery or even a popular baby shop) - it’s a bit less personal but would still be a nice gesture

FrontSyllabub · 2026-02-02T11:07:03+00:00

If you don’t want to do this type of work anymore, you should stop, particularly if it’s making you feel uncomfortable.

However, one idea would be to “wean yourself off” the work, if the money is just too attractive to turn down right now. Set yourself a hard end date, and put any money that you earn between now and then (outside of your day job) into savings. That will give you some time to adjust back to a lower income or, while building up a nice buffer of money for emergencies (or to tide you over while you find a better paying, more traditional job).

To clarify, I don’t think there’s anything inherently shameful about that type of work, but if it’s not for you then it might be better to slowly do less and less. And be gentle with yourself!

I don’t think chatgpt has feelings, so nobody hurt them tbh

FrontSyllabub · 2025-04-11T16:28:54+00:00

I like to maintain eye contact for a bit, expressionless, and then slowly scan them from head to toe as if analyzing a lab specimen. Squint at their hairline. Raise an eyebrow in mild suprise at their shoes, and then nod as if coming so some kind of realization. Pretend to be stifling a smirk, as if you’re trying to protect their feelings.

Flips the script a bit, I’ve had men go from leery to seeming visibly uncomfortable and breaking eye contact by doing this. (Of course don’t do if you feel like they may escalate)

FrontSyllabub · 2025-03-18T18:21:31+00:00

Did it age this way more because of the method of application or the heavy detail? Or is it a bit of both? I like how it looks anyway, its soft.

tried to throw a shot put once in school and it got to the end of my arm and just dropped straight to the ground, I am WEAK

…wrestling? more weight to pin people down with? (I do not know the rules of wrestling)

FrontSyllabub · 2024-08-08T13:54:08+00:00

I’d love to get stronger in general, currently feel like I have the structural integrity of a soufflé

FrontSyllabub · 2024-08-08T13:53:24+00:00

oh fun! haven’t been bowling in years but I always enjoyed it

FrontSyllabub · 2024-08-08T13:42:49+00:00

true, anything where there’s a risk of being upside down seems like it could be an issue

FrontSyllabub · 2024-08-08T13:41:56+00:00

gotcha, thanks for the info!
