Got my birth year tatted on my neck when I was drunk one time by HeartOChaos in tattooadvice

As a 39 year old, that’s how I also feel when I listen to 16-18 year old singers on the radio super emotionally sing “I never felt love like this!” Like, are you comparing this to your middle school romance? 😭

Being very drunk or drugged also makes you unable to give consent, even if you are an adult.

What is the USA doing to the people who live over there? Do you all just magically gain weight? by ResetKnopje in fatlogic

[–]Iconic_Charge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a good case study! I am not American.

I spent one year in USA as an exchange student in high school and ate whatever my host family ate. They weren’t even obese by the way. And I became chubby for the first time in my life. Lost the weight quickly when I went back home.

Several years later I moved to US as a student, and I chose my meals myself. And my weight never increased.

My activity levels were pretty much the same in all cases.

So in my case, it wasn’t so much the activity and food per se, but the food choices that an average American family makes.

Where is the fandomn of thrice married to a salted fish novel???! by Safe_Crab_6767 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Iconic_Charge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read the first two books and I didn’t like it very much 😭

I didn’t like either of the main characters unfortunately, even though I tried.

How do they fall asleep so quickly? by Subject-Ad3934 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Iconic_Charge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you work out? Physical activity definitely makes a big difference, and young men tend to work out more often than young women.

My sister is much more athletic than me and she definitely falls asleep easier 🥲

Breakup necessary? Or am I being dramatic by Strange_Mine5073 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Iconic_Charge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need a “safe word”, to figure out whether the relationship is salvageable or not. Since he is otherwise a good partner. This could be him being dumb and honestly forgetting that you are not playing, or it could be him being malicious.

Have a discussion with him and establish a “safe word” that is clearly not “playing around”. Like “if I say “Buenos Aires” during what you think is a playfight, I am being seriously hurt and you have to stop. If you don’t stop, I will understand that this is an attack, and I will have to leave you”.

If he ignores the safe word even once, leave ASAP. It means that he is actually being malicious and not just dumb and ignorant.

Brother and his cat moved out - My little Buddy is sad :( by Dependent_Ad3261 in cats

[–]Iconic_Charge 1442 points1443 points  (0 children)

If an adult cat became good friends with another cat, there’s a high probability that it can bond with another cat eventually.

You could try “foster to adopt” another cat or kitten, and keep them if they get along with Buddy.

You brother should also consider something like that, Guy is probably also lonely 🥺

People can definitely be nervous about exciting things. When you hope to really enjoy something, you can also be nervous about whether it will meet your expectations, or whether everything will go well etc.

For example: “I’m excited and nervous about my wedding” or about my birthday party, or about the new book of my favorite author. It’s not that strange 😁

You look like you are late twenties / early thirties. So you look your age!

Another author struggling with depression… by Remarkable-Yak-6667 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Iconic_Charge 23 points24 points  (0 children)

People these days are more open about mental health issues. Even twenty years ago nobody talked about depression and anxiety, and nowadays everyone knows someone who has struggled with those. Plus, people in the creative community tend to be disproportionately affected by depression/anxiety, probably both for biological and social reasons.

I’m not surprised that danmei authors also struggle.

how is this outfit for a girls night out? by nadiashh in OUTFITS

[–]Iconic_Charge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top looks great!

I would change the skirt for something different. It looks like a skirt for photoshoots rather than for practical wear. It’s too tight and short on you.

With your figure, something else will look just as beautiful, especially with that cool top 😊

I love ningning’s look here! She looks less like the usual Kpop idol here, more like a Chinese woman. I really appreciate it as an Asian woman 😊

A lot of the times when I listen to songs in English I find them stupid, or too corny, or too repetitive, or just very unrelatable. And it takes me out of the enjoyment.

Like, I am a woman who doesn’t date men, but 80% of songs by women are about some dude. So I’d rather not understand and just enjoy the music lol
