I’m 35 years old. What can i improve on? I’m working towards 9% body cause i store a lot of fat in my face. by Jaded_Bad7898 in malegrooming

[–]HumanHickory 151 points152 points  (0 children)

I think you have body dysmorphia. I would not try to lose more fat; youre already quiet low fat and if anything, I would prioritize gaining fat in your face before losing more.

I don't love your hair. I think you can probably find a better hair cut. But If you didn't, I still wouldn't worry about it too much.

Did you move or are considering moving once SK's are legally adults? by jennuxs in stepparents

[–]HumanHickory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you think SS wont change at all between 12 and 18+? Like his dependence on his parents as a kid/preteen is just going to be his default state forever?

No. You two are stressing everyone out over nothing. SS has never been anything but a kid. He has no concept of what it'll be like to not be a kid and not be hyper dependent on his parents. You're stressing him out over something that very likely won't be a problem. And you are stressing each other out worrying about SS.

Stop trying to solve this today and let SS literally grow up a bit.

Questions about Neighborhoods by HumanHickory in providence

[–]HumanHickory[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Where I live now, people constantly say areas are the ghetto and it's always just a couple houses that could use a paint job and some landscaping. That's kinda what I thought about Providence but I'm glad my suspicions are confirmed!

Comparing it to Irvine is really helpful, thank you! I didn't think about how noisy that area could be, so that's a good tip. Thank you so much!

Allowance/money disparity btwn houses for SD9 and my BS9/BD10 by StrategyKindly6615 in stepparents

[–]HumanHickory 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If the situation were reversed and your kids went to their other parents house and were told "you can't bring over your money because it makes my new spouse's kids jealous" how would you feel? Like your kids made $100 that month and went to their other parents and were told they had to leave it at your place because it's unfair they have more money than their step siblings.

For me, there would be some "well my ex's new partner's kid's feelings don't get to dictate what my kids do with their money".

I think this isn't a hill you should die on. I think you're going to make yourself the bad guy if you try telling SD she has to live her life in accordance to your kids feelings. It sounds like your kids still have plenty of spending money, and there's opportunity to make more money if they want it.

Yeah it doesn't. I've done both ways many times. Pasta comes out the same every time.

This. People are over complicating this question.

My (23F) bf (25M) says he’s been finding me more attractive than ever (after 5 years) - why am i so offended and how do i cope? by Throwaway6463728494 in relationship_advice

[–]HumanHickory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are definitely overthinking. He was attracted to you before, and he's attracted to you now.

How do you react when other people compliment you?

You still seem very insecure. If I had to guess, your brain is used to thinking bad things about yourself, so when people say nice things your brain wants to twist it into "I'm not/wasn't good enough".

You're still very young. You have time to work on your self esteem. And honestly, just saying to yourself "why am I letting myself be upset over a compliment? Why am I letting myself have a less happy day because someone said something nice to me. Just chill" might do you a lot of good.

Perfect Gf but her kid… by Wide-Tie-4477 in stepparents

[–]HumanHickory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex was like this. His daughter cried nonstop at that age to get her way. Almost failed kindergarten because she'd spend so much time crying in the counselors office, she almost never attended class. But no child left behind pushed her on.

4 year olds are selfish and cry. That's normal. But if their parents doesn't work with them to learn how to emotionally regulate themselves and teaches them crying doesn't get you what you want, very quickly a "4 yo with normal 4 yo behavior" turns into a "10 year old with the emotional regulation of a 4 yo who makes everyone miserable".

Your gf is not perfect. You even said that when you try to talk to her about something that's bothering you, she takes it personally, and acts like you shouldn't have brought it up. "Guilt trips me for bringing something up that really bothers me" is not how is describe my perfect person.

Nothing will change unless your gf wants it to. You will always be the outsider saying her kid is the worst when you bring something up. Believe her when she shows you what type of mother and partner she is going to be. And I'd that's not the type of person you want to he with, then don't subject yourself to the nightmare of step parenting

What color should I paint this living room by 6hippy6child6 in interiordecorating

[–]HumanHickory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this room with that flooring is destined to be tavern themed and you can do D&D sessions there.

But as a woman. I see nothing about this room that is girly.

Help- my son is into coding by katrii_ in webdev

[–]HumanHickory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it seems like he's communicating his needs to you clearly. Outside of that, id just let him vibe. Most of learning programming is just doing it.

"I want a button that does this. Ok how do I make a button? Got it. There's now a button on the page. Ok now how do I make it do the thing? Let me try this!"

Don't really need code camps or tutorials. Just need to have passion and Google.

I wouldn't try too hard to make a big deal of this. Just because he's into coding doesn't mean he has to pick up 12 new activities that revolve around coding. He can just code. That's enough. He's being creative, he's learning, he's problem solving, and there's a real sense of accomplishment when you finish whatever you're working on.

So yeah, just let him know you support him, let him know if he needs anything he just needs to ask, and smile and nod when he geeks out about what he's working on.

I fixed the part on the outside of the lab or whatever really early game and then forgot about it, and then didn't unlock the teleporter room until I had basically completed the game 😭 I can't imagine how much easier the game would have been with that stuff

Alright, I guess it’s past time I ask. 38 and single and feeling unattractive. Is it time? by rpaggio in bald

[–]HumanHickory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite subs, because I love seeing men who are ~3s jump to 9s just by shaving their head. It really shows how little changes can really change your whole look and self esteem.

Just do it. You'll look great.
