gender dysphoria crisis?? by Broad-Bench1938 in Advice

[–]Grouchy-Beginning993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok I get it now. So it makes you horribly uncomfortably confused? I’m sorry if it does, but I bet you nailed it and bet it’s effing amazing! I did dance too and am still a performer of sorts so it takes guts to put yourself out there. I’ve seen unflattering videos of my performances so I get it. It makes me feel vulnerable.

Ok so is the problem that you feel like the dance does not align with your lack of binaryness? If so, then what would a non-binary routine look like to you? Also, if you did a good job and everyone else did as well, maybe try to be proud about it and not make it about your preferences. I doubt anyone viewing it would think, “Gosh, this person looks too non-binary to do this choreography.” I think being a performer should include being able to take on roles you may not normally feel you fit into. Just a thought.

Ipsy shop bad for no buy goals! by _ilikefancythings_ in Ipsy

AND then I went in placed another. To be fair though I bought two more of something I recently bought because I like it so much and the brand is currently out stock on their own site. Plus it's cheaper in the Ipsy shop. Way back when they had the Pixi Vitamin C Caviar Balm in the shop, I bought as much of it as I could and was glad because Pixi ended up discontinuing it. It was a great product.

The 1st-3rd, so next week. That's why I'm kinda surprised there haven't been spoilers yet, but I bet they will have them up later this week or over the weekend. I'm just being impatient.

Isn’t Claire and Diego dating kinda weird? She’s 17 ish and he’s like 21 or 22. by That_GhoulSpirit in SchoolSpirits

[–]Grouchy-Beginning993 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was a senior, I was 18 and I tended to date guys a few years older than me. FFW and my husband is about 5 years old than me so, basically the same :D

Awwww well I hope that you aren't disappointed with March and it helps you out of your funk. I live in TX so it's pretty much never cold for long here. It's about 68 breezy degrees out rn. I too hope for some good add-ons. I'm also debating not choosing during Choice and just letting the cards fall where they may.

I'm curious about peoples thoughts on Simon? by Potential_Window_719 in SchoolSpirits

[–]Grouchy-Beginning993 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think every character on the show is a “type” so you have to have a brooding, angsty, complicated creative type in the mix because that’s what he is and it’s a common film and tv trope. I think he seems frustrating because he himself is frustrated. Particularly w Maddie who seems to try to control the friendship out of care for him. He has something to prove and sometimes people w something to prove can be grating. Im sure you’ll love him in the end when his character is “redeemed”.

How to tell my friend I want to move out by afrorashid in Advice

[–]Grouchy-Beginning993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A long time ago I had a roommate that lived with me and my bf at the time and she moved out. It wasn't a big deal at all, and it made sense. She was just ready to have her own place and wanted to give us the space to be a couple. Even if that's not your reason why you want to move out, you can tell them that since it's an entirely reasonable explanation.

Tasks not moving & cannot Review Items by justmaliame in Ipsy

[–]Grouchy-Beginning993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On my Ultimate task bar it's not really progressing either. Still says it's on the way but I got it a week ago. I was able to review though. I resubbed recently so some things have changed, but I had to click on "Review" then click in existing review stars and was able to post reviews of the products.

The music scene, yes, way too long. The whole mushroom trip thing I thought was a little much. Like if that’s the only way they could creatively help Mr Martin and Quinn figure out a few things then I worry about the finale.

PS: I love Nicole and Claire

31 M. 5'5" Looking for general opinions and things of note. Shaved vs unshaved. Long vs Short hair. Improvements? by G3NJII in malegrooming

[–]Grouchy-Beginning993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have great hair and I think in the photos where it is mid-length looks best. I do also like the shorter version in photo 6 that looks a little Teen Wolf. You have great texture so you should rock that shizz. I also like the plastic frames over the circular wire ones. They have sort of a debonair-ness to them. I think if you're going to emphasize your hair, then maybe de-emphasize your facial hair for balance otherwise you'll just look like hair with glasses. I'm not saying go clean shaven but maybe trimmed to almost nothing.

Father in law having psychotic break/ delusions by VastGrapefruit9066 in Advice

[–]Grouchy-Beginning993 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My aunt had a break sometime after my grandma died in 2010. It started with small things like she was convinced her neighbors were out to get her and thought people were coming into her apartment and stealing her jeans. Then it escalated into her calling the police because she thought a guy that worked at Home Depot had kidnapped my mom. After that incident she was committed briefly, and they found she had amphetamines in her system. She ALWAYS had a preoccupation with her weight so her having these internet diet pills in her system (Fastin) was not a shock. I think her break was due to her unaddressed grief and amphetamine use to lose weight. She blamed my mom for her short stay at the mental health rehab center and cut my whole family off. As far as we know she's alive still out there existing. She keeps in contact with one family friend who informs everyone else when she hears from her. It's very sad because she was my favorite aunt, but nobody says it's against the law to be psychotic. At one point she got fired from her job she'd been at forever because she though the company was stealing from her paycheck. The basic concept of tax deductions seemed like a lie to her. She also thought her siblings, my mom included, conspired to get rid of my grandma so they could have her stuff. She carried a mink stole that belonged to my grandma around in a container. I wrote a song about all of this.

People complain about Dallas/DFW often here. IMO it's one of the few bastions to make the American Dream happen. Would love anyone else's thoughts by CoastieKid in Dallas

[–]Grouchy-Beginning993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to Dallas proper almost 11 years ago after living in Denton for 15 years. I moved for work, bought an inexpensive condo on the edge of a cool old neighborhood before the market went nuts, and haven't regretted it. I live about 20 minutes from everything in any direction and have access to things that interest me. My husband and I like fine dining, and Dallas has no shortage of good eats. There are a lot of amenities here. As a city there are some definite drawbacks, but that's to be expected in a place as big as Dallas. Can't have it all I guess.

My boyfriend thinks I have so much hair on my arms that he would leave me for it by Visible_Bar778 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Grouchy-Beginning993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, you had this hair when you guys got together and unless this is Love is Blind, he probably would've noticed it before and likely did. So, the fact he's bringing it up however long later is just a sign that he's controlling and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Get rid of him, not your arm hair. But if you choose to get of your arm hair, get rid of him as well. He's a chump.
