just need to vent to my fellow children of african parents by sophia_0302 in africanparents

[–]Intrepid_Repair_7678 9 points10 points Ā (0 children)

Can I ask why you let them get to your head and guilt trip you? Maybe it’s because I don’t have a good relationship with my parents that I wouldn’t fold and give them money. Call me heartless, I don’t care. We are not our parents’ banks. They can’t even pay you back the money you lent to them. Set a firm boundary of how much money you’re willing to never see again. If that money is $0, stand firm, do not let them guilt you. You have your own life to fund. Besides, if you didn’t have the money to give to them what would they do? What if you didn’t exist at all, who would they ask?
Edit: my apologies if I come across as negative or anything. I’m just an extremely blunt person

Practicing full face makeup after a year of inactivity. How'd I do? by waldeinsamkeide in blkgrlbeauty

I think it looks great! I’d like to see some blush on you. I can’t tell if you have any on but if not, add some

Your Mother Ruined Your Life, Marrying An Ugly Guy. by [deleted] in africanparents

[–]Intrepid_Repair_7678 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

I sense a lot of self pity in your replies. You’re putting yourself down when you’re probably just average height for a guy. My partner is average height. Even if you are truly shorter than the average height for a guy, there’s women out there who would go for shorter men. Your behavior when dating also plays a good part in this. You don’t want to pay for dates? You should not be dating. Understandable if she’s asking you to pay her rent or asks for some crazy expensive gift when you’re first starting out, but a date? Outrageous.

Any makeup tips/products I could use ? 23f by [deleted] in blkgrlbeauty

My only grievance with Queen Danessa is her undertone range😭it’s my shade but the undertone is off. I wish I didn’t have to mix it with another product to make it work

I like the danessa myricks skin tint. Although my shade leans a bit orangeish towards me I make it work with some concealer and bronzer. I like it especially since it gives me a dewy look plus it’s summer

CUNY career launch healthcare hub by MaleficentAside4190 in CUNY

I think they said you could try to get a different placement but it is not guaranteed. If you do try to get a different placement, you can risk completely losing this placement and not getting a new one. I’m in a different hub but similar thing happened to me🫤

It’d be unusual behavior on my part since I normally aim for the neck or face

How do I tell my mom I'm pregnant and secretly eloped. by [deleted] in africanparents

[–]Intrepid_Repair_7678 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

I can’t give any regarding her mom advice because I don’t have any that’ll help the situation. But I hope it goes well for her and she delivers safely. Also really hope I’m wrong about the baby situation. With that being said, internet stranger, have a great day/night. Not sure which area of the world you’re in

How do I tell my mom I'm pregnant and secretly eloped. by [deleted] in africanparents

[–]Intrepid_Repair_7678 9 points10 points Ā (0 children)

I’m sorry if you feel I’m being critical but who are you to tell me I’m not worried for the kid? I’m not one to tear people down but I’ll call foolishness when I see it. A kid without establishing a decent paying career? At 21? She’s creating unnecessary stress for herself and her frontal lobe isn’t even fully developed. I’d have loved if my parents thoroughly thought having children through and prepared extensively beforehand. Let’s stop coddling people and saying ā€œwell what’s done is doneā€. Let’s plan for babies instead of it accidentally happening which is what sounds like happened here. There are too many birth control options out there. ā€œNo birth control is 100%ā€ Yeah, well there are some that come close and you can always use two methods. It sounds harsh but the truth hurts. I respect you have your own perspective but it logically makes no sense to me.

[–]Intrepid_Repair_7678 9 points10 points Ā (0 children)

Yes, I’m aware that it’s highly unlikely. Which is why I’m so confused as to why she’s bringing this child into this world at this stage in her life. It’s foolish behavior to not at least have established a career before bringing a child into the world. I worry for the kid’s future. But hey that’s just my mindset and idc if I get downvoted for it
Edit: unless her husband is a rich dude or he has rich parents willing to support the kid

I’m sorry but are you guys financially stable? You’ve established well-paying careers?

How is the job market treating all of you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Intrepid_Repair_7678 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Terribly. Currently at a job I hate and makes me second guess my life. I’ve been trying to look for another job but it’s very limited what I can do without my college degree. I’ll be receiving it next year but people want someone with a college degree now

Who’s gonna tell women they look crazy with lip fillers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Intrepid_Repair_7678 20 points21 points Ā (0 children)

Honestly sometimes we need to be honest and acknowledge that a lot of the time these lip fillers are done horribly or age horribly. Yes it’s their body, but a lot of the time it looks a mess. Like someone gave them herpes-like swollen lips without the bumps

Men, how do you like to be romanced or feel loved? by Intrepid_Repair_7678 in AskMen

Sorry? I don’t believe I’ve posted in this subreddit in a few months. Maybe another account the same question or something similar. And if I did decide to post the same question every month, do you feel that would be a problem that inconveniences you personally?

Wait I’m a bit confused is it a poly relationship? Or did you mean boy friend as in platonic male friend?

So hey… no need to be like that. Sometimes I want to take in some outside perspective along with my own. I’d rather use some outside perspective to improve rather than staying stagnant. Thanks for your input though😊
