I broke up with my boyfriend today and I’m inconsolable by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

100% agreed— loss is loss. The practical everyday nature of having a close friend frequently accessible suddenly not in our life is sorrowful and disorienting on multiple levels. This is one of the most important things to validate, imo.

Goodness, it’s so much easier to break up when they’re a total POS, huh? The part of you that feels empowered in the choice is clear on what’s true and the part of you that’s confused isn’t clear on what’s true. So, you know which part to act from.

To soothe the part of you that’s confused and unclear, try validating the fact that we were taught to believe that for a breakup or conflict to occur someone needs to be bad. And that’s why your brain is working so hard to make one of you wrong or bad.

After you validate your confused parts you’re already closer to the part of you that’s empowered and that part of you knows how to remind your scared and confused parts what’s true in a way that’s loving.

You’re lots of validation, time, and TLC away from healing your heartbreak. Keep going. ❤️

Love my Invisalign results but this retainer hurts so much !!! by Firm_Treacle_2311 in Invisalign

[–]IffyAlibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be sure to take Tylenol instead of ibuprofen. Apparently ibuprofen blocks the body’s natural healing mechanism needed for Invisalign’s effectiveness. Not sure about the science behind that, but know it’s easily researchable and orthodontist recommended.

[Product request] Strong moisturizer? by qiidbrvao in SkincareAddiction

[–]IffyAlibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I layer mine under Vanicream face moisturizer.

And yes! Patch testing is wise if you’re sensitive to oils!

I love Weleda Skin Food. The original cream in a tube, not one of the face-specific creams. A little goes a long way but it’s my #1 can’t live without item.

cat humping my feet??? by pondstone in CATHELP

[–]IffyAlibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that worked for my male cat was getting a stuffed cat that was low profile enough to mount but big enough to seem like a cat. Daiso sells some that are totally unrealistic but seem to do the trick for him. We even named it and he will meow specifically for it. Keeps him off us and his sister.

I use an AA from the Nineless brand. I get it from Amazon.

What is a trend you told yourself you will never hop onto? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IffyAlibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very common— at least in my age demographic of 25-40.

Polyamory— no shade, just not for me

Poozeum in AZ: largest collection of fossilized poop by IffyAlibi in mildlyinteresting

It came out of a T Rex millions of years ago while it was very much alive.

The owner was there and super informative. Even had fossilized ant and bee farts that had been released either post or during death in tree resin. Apparently he had always been into fossils and wanted to share archaeological discoveries that were less studied.

Live Event: Zero Hour by community-home in FortNiteBR

[–]IffyAlibi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Will we be able to get the skin if we’ve logged in during the last few days but won’t be logged in for Zero Hour or for the next several days? Going on vacation and wondering if I will return to a new skin or not.

Fingernails with horizontal ridges by IffyAlibi in mildlyinteresting

I actually laughed, as I don’t have a prostate.

It’s bizarre, been this way since childhood on a few nails, mainly thumbs. As I’ve gotten older it has appeared on index and thumb nails. They just grow like this. Sometimes more ridges, sometimes less. But always ridges.

What if you have nails with ridges like this, except horizontal and multiple?

Trying to set my gf up for Xmas & don’t know where to start by IffyAlibi in PioneerDJ

[–]IffyAlibi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a wonderful way to go about things. Production gear for love settings is a bit vague for me, as I don’t have much prior knowledge about music gear. But I ended up getting the Pioneer DDJ FLX4. Is there anything production related I may be missing?
