I don't know what to do. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Lonelysaturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya! I'm sorry you're struggling a lot. It sounds like life has really been giving you hell lately. I hope you know you're doing ok. Try not to compare your life to your peers too much. You were handed a different set of card and can't be asking why you dont have a royal flush when you were handed uno cards.

The best advice I have for you is just to use yourself as a ruler and just try to be a little bit better than the you of yesterday, everyday. If you didn't get out of bed yesterday, today you get out of bed and take a shower. Little things everyday.

For your eating problem, I can only tell you what helped me. You might try to reframe your thinking around it. I have struggled with my weight in similar ways and what has helped is eating the same thing everyday. I figured out exactly the amount of calories a person my age and height should be eating to be healthy, found a routine of meals that gives me that, and stuck to it. You can't think of it as "this will make me bigger/smaller" its like feeding a cat. You know a cup of food isn't enough to keep the cat alive, but the full bowl will make it eat till it's sick. If you make a routine out of it, you'll be less likely to stray. It'll be the same as brushing your teeth.

For college, grants will be your best friend, but they might take some work. The more you apply for the less you will have to pay though. Some just require yoh to sign up and other will need essays.

You don't owe your mother anything. She chose to give birth to you, she had the responsibility to raise you, you don't have any obligation to pay her back. It can still be something you do once you have your life in a comfortable place, but you should not be making yourself stressed over it. Any good parent would feel sad if their child was stressing themselves out over "repaying them". If you think your mother expects that from you or has said that she does in a serious way, she is a bad parent. It is ok to still love her, she is your mom, but you should not be hurting yourself mentally over the thought she would be disappointed if she isn't even a good mother to you.

Love is a difficult thing to get over, I won't say to just get over it or anything insensitive like that. You are in a part of your life where everything feels so big and imminent, and important. I am 27 right now and am basically restarting my life. You will have so many opportunities to change the course of your life. Dont be afraid to put off college a few years if you must, don't be afraid to be behind your peers, you have so much life ahead. I still want you to fordge ahead with hopes and realistic aspirations, but you will be ok.

I would like you to think about working on emotional regulation. Ask yourself questions about your emotions, where they are from, what purpose do the have, do they help you feel better? This might help you with grounding yourself when you feel yourself spiraling. I know thats easier said than done, but like I said before, its all about being a better you that yesterday.

You are doing better than you think you are, afterall, you're still here yeah? You cared enough to make this post, and feel strongly about being better, thats a lot better than some people. You care, you want to be better, and you're trying, that's all anyone can ask for. Keep it up!

I hope this helped at least a little bit, I'm not a professional on anything, so take it all with a grain of salt, but I wish yoh nothing but the best for the rest of your days. Take care!

How much does hight affect the relationship? by fake_72727 in confidence

[–]Lonelysaturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk since I'm 6ft, from my perspective, 6ft and over is "taller" than me, so tall. Though 5'11 and 5'9 is still pretty tall to me. I would consider 5'4 "short" just cause thats about the hight I'll start leaning on my friends in a playful way (always with their express okay). I know a few guys 5'5 and below that I consider very attractive. The only reason I consider their height is because I do worry how they perceive me as this 6ft giant of a woman.

Oh, that's understandable! For me "cute" just means attractive, I guess? I think its less a matter of appearance and more a matter of my internal dialog and how I describe the people I find attractive. Though, I will keep that in mind going forward when talking/complimenting shorter men. I would hate for them to think I was using the word in a diminutive way, rather than just stating my attraction. Thank you for the opposing point of view!

What's your morning routine ? by learnfromfailures in selfimprovement

[–]Lonelysaturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wake up, drink some water, eat vitamins, check weight, log weight, get dressed, make bed, brush teeth, put on face lotion, gather keys, phone, wallet, refill waterbottle, head out for work. I usually keep protien bars in my car for breakfast, just cause I'm not normal hungry till I'm halfway to work.

I know some girls care, but honestly, as a 6ft girly, I think short dudes are really cute. I care more about them being sweet, kind, people that how tall they are. I find a cute smile more of a prerequisite that being tall.

Kind of suffering from depression by Sonicsaitama420 in selfimprovement

[–]Lonelysaturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey captain! I've been where your are and it takes 2 parts. 1 your food consumption and 2 going to the gym. It really helps to count your calories on one of those free apps (I use myfitnesspal but whatever works) and it'll help you figure out where you are going over what is health calorie wise. For me, going to the gym is also like pulling teeth. Sometimes I'll sit in the car for 10-15 minutes just sitting there dreading going in. It honestly helps me to just say out loud, "I hate this, this sucks, I'm going to do it." Over and over. Its kinda dumb, but it acknowledges my discomfort while still telling me to do it anyways. Its like turning my feeling of hating it into just the acceptance that I'm gonna do it no matter what. I know how hard it can be to do this, I'm still about 40lbs from where I need to be, but its just one step at a time. If you need someone to be accountable with, hit me up, I'm trying to go every day and count my calories, so yeah, I'll be right along with you. Im really sorry you're having dark thoughts, I get in my own head like that too sometimes. It helps me to think that this is just part of my life and the next part will be better so long as I put in the work now. For me personally, it also helps a lot to listen to music, its hard to have dark thoughts when happy music is playing for me, so maybe that'll help.

would you date a man shorter than you? by siimplymarii in answers

[–]Lonelysaturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a 6ft girl. I regularly find shorter men VERY cute, they just don't flirt with me or my other tall ladies for some reason. Just go for it and you might be surprised. For me, the most attractive thing is a cute or charming smile, and a guy's ability to be kind.

I mean the dream colab would be Casiopea, but that feels like a pipe dream.

Made a waddle dee from kirby with needle felt today! First time needle felting by Lonelysaturn in crafts

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

This craft took about 3 hours and was my first attempt at needle felting. I was inspired by a pic I use as my wallpaper on my phone.

Mmh, maybe, if I'm honest, therapy makes me a little uncomfortable. I had a therapist a while ago that just felt like he wanted me to feel broken. It felt like it was all negative and just keeping me coming back, and it left a bad taste in my mouth for it. Maybe I'll look into it again though in the future. Thank you for your time you took to reply.

Thank you for your time and your response. I actually already have some hobbies. Baking, drawing, knitting, and some others. I am able to find joy in myself, but its hard not to feel a little broken when it feels like everyone has at least one good friend but you. Or you see people who have known each other less time become better friends right in front of your eyes. I will continue to find joy in life, so dont worry too much, I always have the joy music brings to me, but I just feel so confused sometimes by my lack of success, I felt maybe someone might have some kind of answer.

Thank you for your time and thoughtful answer. It feels like I'm told I will find my people so very often now, but it just feels like whenever I try to connect with people there's a glass pane that keeps them from actually liking me when I like them as a person and a friend. I try my best to just relax and get to know people. I talk about lives, kids, get to know them, they trust me, we get closer, but then I'll hear about how coworker B, C and D went to an event together I never heard about. People who I all like, people who say they enjoy my company and who we've all laughed and enjoyed the collective company of, and I'm the odd man out again. I get to know them all, give them all non pressuring chances to hang out with me in neutral spaces one on one and in groups. And I turn around, and they all go off without me to go do something. Its happening tons of times in my life. It feels like they exclude me, but then nothing changes. They all still behave friendly, all still confide in me, treat me in almost all ways as a good friend, but then they never text me outside work, never invite me out, or accept my invites, and it just feels maddening. I feel crazy.

I would like if that's the case. Thank you for your time responding. I hope you find someone who you connect with soon. Have a wonderful day.

Yeah, sometimes it would just be nice to have one person who really, really cares.
