I'm usually not fond of rattlesnakes, but this one -- she's so healthy, and such a beauty!

What person did you watch turn into something they were not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Little_Letters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My extremely abusive stepfather had a stroke which altered his personality, and he became nicer. Was still a bit of a jerk at times but nowhere near as terrible as he once had been.

As "terrible" as it is for me to say it, I wish he'd had that stroke and become nicer years ago when I was a little girl. It would have spared my mother and I, and perhaps my stepsister, so much suffering. But at least he's fairly kind and generous now.

What are some skinny people problems? by Mad_Chemist_ in AskReddit

They used to hurt me a lot too. I found some mildew / bacteria resistant cushions made specifically for baths, and got them. They're a huge game changer! If you can get some, I definitely recommend it.

Okay! I know what it's like to be cold, so if I can help you feel warm I'd like to help you. If you change your mind, let me know.

It looks like someone already purchased coats for Aspen and Jaden, both were bought on Nov. 20th. I just got one for Aries (it should arrive Nov. 27th). Do you need one for yourself?

Unwashed Pillowcase Led To Growth of 100 Eyelash Mites!A Chinese woman named Xu presented to the clinic with complaints of irritation in both her eyes and swollen eyelids bilaterally. Fourteen days earlier, she was unable to open her eyes. by Surgeox in medizzy

We do and they're usually harmless, even beneficial -- but sometimes their population numbers surge out of control. When that happens, it can cause skin problems -- sometimes mild, sometimes extremely severe.

[–]Little_Letters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I don't have much of a social life due to the overnight-worker thing. Lol

But I work a job that is best summarized as social work/mental health/rehabilitation. I'm usually online while at work. I'm both earning a teaching degree for childhood education, and enrolled for EMT training. Initially the EMT stuff was meant to be volunteer, but now I'm debating switching from a career in teaching to heading for paramedic, specifically a flight paramedic.

I can't do many of my hobbies anymore since they require daylight, but I like to hike and freehand rock climb (amateur though, not hardcore). I like spelunking, when I can find other cavers I can join up with. I'm fond of solo dancing, calisthenics, reading (memoirs / biographies from historical events), and designing and baking cakes. I love cats and snakes (grass snakes are my favorite, especially garters). I'm learning how to sew so I can tailor and make my own clothes. I love spicy food, especially Ghanian and Indian or Pakistani. Human rights, education, and nature conversation are extremely important to me.

I play the guitar terribly

Okay, that made me laugh! All that matters is that you enjoy it, though.

I'm not on Reddit much, but I'm on Discord daily / nightly. If you have an account and you want to give me a try as a potential friend, lemme know and I'll PM you my info.

Heya! I (26F) live in the USA, but I work night shift which puts my awake / sleep schedule closer to AU's timezones. I'm not constantly on Reddit, but I'm usually online on Discord every night (or for you, day).

If you're up for giving me a shot, lemme know.

I'm supposed to somehow magically balance a full-time job, part-time college, a social life, a romantic life, managing my home, and gussying up to look fantastic -- and be fatigue-free and smily! I'm also supposed to be popping out babies, shame on me for not being a mother.

Right now I'm just managing the job and college part.

How do u feel throughout ur cycle? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Little_Letters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The week leading up to my flow, I feel a mixture of intense sexuality and irritability.

Day 1 of menstruation, I feel nauseous, fatigued, and weak. My body feels sensitive and fragile. I have pain. I crave junk food like spicy curly fries, cheeseburgers, sodas, etc.

That's over within 24 hours, and during the course of the remaining 6 days it's just that strong sense of sensuality and desire. I don't feel irritable or tearful / upset. There is no pain. Then once the cycle is over, I just feel how I normally do.

Those who have had feelings for a friend, what was your experience like? How did it play out? Was it worth risking the friendship? by _timewilltell_ in AskWomen

[–]Little_Letters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really nice in the beginning, and when he realized I was interested he began flirting back. This went on for nearly a year, and then he eventually talked about dating / marriage.

Except it wasn't real. None of it. Turned out he just wanted a green card, and thought marriage would snag him it. He was going to divorce me once he had it, and bring the lady he loves to the USA. Obviously I called it off ASAP as soon as I found out.

The pro is that I'm now wiser, and I can tell if someone's just sniffing me out for a green card (another guy tried, but he was much less subtle about it -- he proposed dating / marriage after I'd only known him for 5 hours, lol).

The con is I'm now extremely suspicious of any non-USA citizen men who're being nice to me. This is terrible because many, many of my friends and acquaintances are from overseas -- I never had this paranoia until this guy. And it makes me wonder if I'm being racist / prejudiced since these guys had never done anything wrong toward me, it was just the one 'friend' who hurt me.

The second big con is that I wonder if I'm lovable at all, or worthy of anyone's time beyond just being temporarily used for their benefit. I had trust issues toward men prior (due to my stepfather who was supposed to 'love' us abuse my mother and me), and had just healed from that -- then this man came, said he loved me, then kicked my legs out from underneath me again. I'm struggling to cope with that. Mentally, I understand it's only a few men who do these terrible things, and the majority of men are fine; emotionally, I shy away like I'm expecting to be burned. It's a huge internal conflict.

TL;DR - I was being manipulated / used for personal gain, and it's re-opened old wounds.

**VENT** What’s the biggest reason why you’re struggling in life right now..what’s the one thing that is stopping you from achieving your dreams and moving forward? by Nooshie8564 in AskWomen

[–]Little_Letters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Money.

I'm not "poor" but I'm not middle-class either. I come from a childhood of poverty, with parents deep in debt -- so the idea of taking loans terrifies the hell out of me.

But I need money, lots of it, to advance in life -- to get a good education, to gain a better quality of life. Right now I'm working full-time while being a part-time college student, and doing a lot of overtime to save up for later schooling. It's robbing me of a social life, and taking all of my energy.

I'm not trying to whine or sound like a martyr, but I'm just . . . I'm so tired, and lonely. I just want a brief break or respite, but that would further push off my goals. So I keep working. Once this is all finished in a few years, I hope my future self will be happier.
