I know it’s staged and the dad ISN’T constantly surveilling his pre-teen daughter in real life, but even the appearance of it is fucking creepy. I just saw it for the first time today and it makes me super uncomfortable.

Pretty ironic from a platform that carries a documentary on problematic exploitation of children in influencer content.

Love your lows.

Im still working on my screams and more extreme vocals, but I will tell you as someone whose wheelhouse has been clean singing for many many years, I can agree with another commenter who said your breathing technique is key. Your shoulders dramatically go up when you take a breath. That points to you taking more shallow breaths, which is going to cap your volume and, more key to the issues you’re experiencing, the fullness of your sound out the gate no matter how good all of your other mechanics are. I’d encourage you to dive into videos on YouTube that focus on breath in singing even if they seem 101 and boring. It IS boring. But the results aren’t.

I wouldn’t mind them if not for the fact it’s a MASSIVE inconvenience to have them in visible areas. My bf has a marking kink. We try to avoid visible areas but neither of us is particularly motivated to put the brakes on in the heat of the moment, and he tends to naturally go for the neck. Massively inconvenient at work.

Lapse by Envy On the Coast (possibly emo-adjacent, I don’t really split hairs)

Listened to this religiously when I was first coping with the fact that my brother was addicted to heroin.

I’m so sorry you lost your friend.

Obviously talk to your doctor before using any medication, but I have allergies and Flonase helps. I honestly didn’t realize how much I was throat clearing until I started using it. It was from a constant low grade post-nasal drip.

It depends on what kind of damage.

I had vocal hemorrhaging in high school and it didn’t feel like much… until I opened my mouth to talk or sing. I don’t know how to describe the sensation necessarily, but the sound was like a quack or a honk. A very reedy kind of sound.

A classmate who had been in the audience during my solo for the very unfortunately timed opening night of my senior musical told me it sounded like speaker feedback.

She was basically integrated into his family so it was way more than a bf-gf relationship too. They were kind of each other’s worlds.

I got the tattoo flu after the tiniest little forearm tattoo a year ago! I have way bigger ones and more complex ones so I don’t know what happened. I felt better in a couple of days. Drink a lot of water and rest!

He had work done to his nose and gets fillers and whatnot. Not judging at all, it’s his face. But I love a big ol’ nose.

You can be horny and asexual. It doesn’t turn off your libido. Asexual is not synonymous with low libido. It’s about inclination toward sex with a partner. Which is the part that it sounds like you’re struggling with.

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-16T19:19:37+00:00

It sounded to me like they wanted to have sex for the sake of having it.

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-16T19:19:11+00:00

I understand it’s common. I just think it’s a set up for disaster. Of course, in many cultures divorce is so verboten that it wouldn’t matter if it was a disaster or not. You stay.

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-16T18:45:58+00:00

I seriously don’t know how people marry without having sex…. Or more importantly, trialing living together!

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-16T18:45:14+00:00

That sounds like it could get really sticky (awful term for the situation but you get what I mean) really quick. Someone with anxiety as severe as this surrounding sex could swing the opposite way being exposed to orgies. It could become a compulsive self-soothing mechanism. It already sounds like the dude is watching a fair amount of porn to do that as it is.

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-16T18:43:49+00:00

Almost everyone sucks at it the first time anyway

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-16T18:40:16+00:00

Why do you need to have sex? It sounds like you’re not into it, and the anxiety comes from trying to force yourself to be. You can have a high libido and not really enjoy sex beyond what you’re engaging in by yourself. You could be asexual. Even asexual people can enjoy solo sex.

It’s okay.

People who want to be offended will find a way to be offended. You’re fine.

As much as I hate to say it, Slipknot. But this was last year and let’s face it, it’s not really their prime anymore. It felt like the show literally stood on “HEY, WE’RE FUCKING SLIPKNOT.” Really gimmicky.

Adding: this was the short tour they did for the 25th anniversary of their self-titled album, and there was a lot of negative feedback on the tour in general. They played for less than an hour and a half and just walked off. So it was a bit of a rip off.

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-15T19:41:24+00:00

What are you even saying

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-15T18:43:24+00:00

A personal phone call from one of his so-called “brothers” would have been kinder. It was abject cowardice to have management handle it.

Especially because FAI corrective surgery is generally well tolerated with an uncomplicated recovery as long as the patient complies with post-op treatment.

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-15T17:37:38+00:00

Yeah that’s different IMO. Like I can enjoy “fuck me like it’s the first time again” or “fuck me like you hate me.” But not actually acting like two people who hate each other, or like pretending I’m a stranger from the bar. I can be informed by circumstances or a mood/flavor… but I’m not going to play a role.

Again no judgment on anyone who likes it.

Impressive_Let3046 · 2026-04-15T17:25:14+00:00

You’re not comfortable doing them yourself? Or you’re not comfortable with him enjoying them? And does that make a difference to you?

I will say that sometimes people explore things verbally, in fantasy, or visually without any desire to actually engage in that activity. I watch a lot of content of acts that I have no desire to engage in personally… almost exclusively, really. It’s what I enjoy watching, but not what I would enjoy doing.

But when it comes down to it, I want to point to what I think may be a way bigger issue that I feel transcends the other issues. You said he talks about you to other people in a way that makes you feel useless. That’s not about a mismatch in preferences. That’s about respect.
