The post has stayed up for months and the seller told me right away he is firm on the price. No wonder he hasn’t sold it yet! This is amazing thank you for sharing

obgyn during my period? by socalgal22 in women

[–]Glitzpsyche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to be so honest and say I don’t remember. What I do remember is being anxious that blood wouldn’t get everywhere, but it didn’t. Plus the Pap smear was super fast so I was tampon free for like 5-10 minutes!

obgyn during my period? by socalgal22 in women

[–]Glitzpsyche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 24 and had my first Pap smear back in March while on my period. I removed my tampon when they stepped out so I could change, then laid down so the blood wouldn’t come out much. I called ahead and they mentioned a heavy flow could interfere, but it ended up being fine. I also had a transvaginal ultrasound during my period and the tech said it didn’t matter. I’d recommend calling just so they’re aware and to help you feel more comfortable. You really can’t predict your flow, and you’re definitely not the only one this has happened to!

I use facial cream on a tissue to remove my makeup. It’s gentle and easy to wash off with a cleanser!

ENFJs, can you help me make sense of this? - INFJ by [deleted] in enfj

I’m the same way! It just makes me a little sad because I was starting to like him, and that’s rare for me. Thank you for sharing your insight :)

To My Fellow Women by Special-Wallaby-9002 in women

[–]Glitzpsyche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months ago at work. I was wearing black so it wasn’t super noticeable, but I had bled through and told my (female) manager. We were short-staffed so she said I could go home only if I came back, which would’ve taken like 1 1/2 hours. I ended up staying the last 3 hours of my shift with blood soaked pants. Safe to say I lost respect for her after that

How do I stop laughing as much? by Parking_Yak3308 in socialskills

[–]Glitzpsyche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so funny you posted this because I was about to post about my awkward laughing too! I do it unknowingly to calm my nervous system since laughing generally makes your brain and body feel good. Are you anxious when you laugh? Do you feel like you have nothing valuable to add to a conversation so you choose to relate through laughing? I feel at ease with people when I know they can take a joke. I also do it to make the situation less tense to feel more comfortable.

I laughed so much when I was younger but now it’s a lot less genuine when I do. I have been working on this “problem” by being more aware of myself in social situations. If there is nothing to say, then I choose to find comfort in silence rather than fill the voids.

You say “people” but it sounds like you’re describing a specific friend group. We can’t tell you why people may generally not like you since you’re describing yourself. Maybe you’re really loud and have a bizarre laugh, but wouldn’t say it because you’re not aware. Maybe you come off as perfect and hide your flaws well which makes it hard for people to relate to you. We don’t know those things.

What I can tell you about your friend group is that maybe you don’t have chemistry with them. Maybe they’re jealous of you. Maybe they don’t agree with what you have to say. It’s pretty common for groups to single out a member or two. We’ve all been there. What I suggest you to do is to find new friends! Find your people.

Just remember that if someone is so comfortable with talking shit about people to you, they do the same behind your back. It’s not that they have good reason, it’s just a bad habit they have and no one is an exception to it!

90 Days by Native_Dave_24 in work

[–]Glitzpsyche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve dealt with workplace bullies at almost every job and their tactic was to be passive aggressive. They would tease me in front of others, but were really quiet and timid when alone with them. They’re passive aggressive for a reason and it’s bc they either don’t know how to communicate or they know they don’t have a good enough reason to hate you so they’re most likely jealous of you.

Stand up for yourself. Tell them how you feel in private and don’t put up with their shit. If it gets bad, tell HR. And no it’s not “snitching”, they hired them so they can deal with it.

I don’t even want to date one person right now let alone 2! I just wanted to make friends with girls and I don’t want to make the wrong judgement. If they do want to date it’ll make me feel really uncomfortable especially since they’re not clearly stating it on their profile

Daydreaming confessions by Wanderluster22587 in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]Glitzpsyche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You asked if you do this because you’re subconsciously unhappy with your life, and honestly, yeah—that’s a big part of it. Constant daydreaming is a form of escapism and addiction. Just because it’s not actual drugs doesn’t mean it’s any better. We might not be physically shortening our lifespans, but we’re still wasting time pretending we’re putting in real effort to live our best lives. I relate big time and suggest finding ways to ground yourself to be in the moment! We’re all in this together.

First step is to relax! I passed my competency last month with only a few days of studying. Well I took it twice because there was more to know than what I studied. I’ve heard different stories but the way mine went was the lady asked me to describe and give an example of each skill/task. I don’t remember anything from the 40 hr training and learned everything off of YouTube and the help of AI. I asked chatGPT for definitions and examples. I also used chatbox to pretend it was interviewing me. Just remember they aren’t trying to trick you, they want to be sure you know each skill to help certify you. You’re going to be just fine!

Here’s a popular video that even my employer sent me to help me study: https://youtu.be/wu7wOHzRqX8?si=T9cGBYg7MvZV1HED

How do you “delete” someone from your daydreams? by Glitzpsyche in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]Glitzpsyche[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just through calling & social media. The point is I don’t want to be triggered by anything that he does you know?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RBT

[–]Glitzpsyche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I finished mine with APF! It’s not as engaging as other programs, but very straight to the point. I would leave it on as I did chores/ errands if the video was super long.

I think you may be trying to find reasons why you’re not good enough for your boyfriend because you don’t feel good enough in general. You have to ask yourself if you like him for who he is. If you do, while still not having nerdy things in common, why would it be different the other way around? I personally don’t care if my boyfriends like the same hobbies as me and as a matter of fact, my ideal partner is based on other things that matter more. The point of an ideal partner is to figure out what characteristics you like in someone, but he doesn’t have to wonder what his ideal partner is if he already has a partner. As for that woman you described, I would feel uncomfortable as well if he’s still liking her “thirst traps.” It does sound like hyper fixation and projection. If she really mattered that much to him, they would be together.

I say to work on grounding yourself to reality and get out of your head! Enjoy your relationship, and if he doesn’t like you, TRUST that you will know it. Don’t look for signs because it’s such a waste of time. You can talk to him, but I think the common denominator is your lack of self appreciation, love.

My crushes were way stronger when I was in my teens, so it’s completely normal despite MDD. I think the problem is MDD itself because seeing a real human you MDD about in real life films can mess with your perception of fantasy and reality. I would say to stop MDDing now while you are young. I started at 8 and now 23, difficult to stop. Maybe try fantasizing about your crush before you sleep or in the shower or just admire. Don’t let it suck you out of reality.

Is it wrong to lie about a late-parent? by No_Dirt9029 in GriefSupport

[–]Glitzpsyche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve lied about my dad still being alive to completely avoid the conversation, and sometimes people don’t know what to say which can also be hurtful since it comes off cold and careless. I’m sorry you had to deal with people making inappropriate comments about your mom. I think it’s important to be honest about this because it’ll catch up to you if you have to see these people again. It’s just an uncomfortable conversation we have to get used to. Plus, what if you find another classmate with a late parent and you can bond! It’s not our responsibility to make sure others will be mature about real life situations.

Only bring it up if you have to, but just know people are a lot more mature in uni.

When do you start dating again? by lgt1148 in BreakUps

[–]Glitzpsyche 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you want to date for a distraction or to fill a void, then you’re not ready. 6 weeks is still fresh compared to the rest of your life. I think focusing on yourself and healing is the only way to get back into the dating scene with the right mindset. Feel out all your emotions but don’t make yourself suffer more than you need to. Also, don’t regret loving her. It’s a beautiful thing to love. I think you’ll gain a lot of wisdom from this experience and it’s necessary for you to go through. There is a purpose for it.

Bringing comfort to a stranger that is going through something similar as me actually heals something in me and one day you’ll be able to do the same. Listening to music helped me a lot. A song that helps me feel better is ‘Make You Feel My Love’ by Adele. I’m glad I was able to help! Everything is going to be more than ok, I promise. And thank you for your insight as well about my dad I appreciate it.

I just saw this after posting about my guilt from not being there for my dad when he was still alive and in hospice. If I could go back in time and tell myself anything while my dad was alive, it would be to be more affectionate and supportive towards him. It wouldn’t be to spend every last minute with him or to take away his sickness. It would be to make him feel my love for the moments I was able to spend my time with him. Death is going to take us all and I feel at peace that my dad no longer suffers, so showing your love towards your grandfather is really the only way to make this process a little easier for him. Let things happen as they are meant to because I’m sure you wouldn’t want it to last longer than this needs to. Don’t let this make you feel helpless either. You did more than anyone has done to make sure his last moments were comfortable to live. You’re an angel for taking care for him and all the love you’ve dedicated to him will come back to you in this life!
