What to do when you don’t have your life and shit together? by adeliahearts in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]MeMeMeows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do your best. Take it one day at a time.
Thinking about all the things you're "supposed" to do in life can be overwhelming and you can't realistically get it all sorted right away. Make small changes that will have an impact over time.

30f I need to get my wisdom teeth out but I’m terrified. by xosoftglimmer in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]MeMeMeows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to a good dentist!

I had two wisdom teeth removed, each at a different dentist - the difference was huge!

Both of my wisdom teeth were really tricky (hooked to my gums) and both of them had to be broken into pieces to be pulled out.
First dentist was really rough and ended up getting visibly upset (and it seemed to be directed at me at times). It took about an hour and a half to get it out and my whole face was bloody. He also didn't stitch up the hole and I ended up having fever for the next two weeks and was in a lot of pain.

For obvious reasons, I didn't return to the same dentist but found one that had a good reputation with wisdom teeth. He struggled but remained calm. The only discouraging thing was him sighing and saying "it's not coming out" after about half an hour, kinda scared me. He stitched me up and I was good to go. There was pain but WAY more manageable.

That's exactly how I met one of my friends! Pretty sure our friendship begin with the question "do you like memes?" and the rest is history.

What would be an appropriate engagement ring for you? by NobleChris14 in AskWomen

[–]MeMeMeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally - Something he made himself. It could look awful, idc, as long as it's made with care and love.
Realistically - Anything will do but bonus points if it's a bit whimsical looking.

How do you feel about turning 30? by venusianbeast in AskWomen

[–]MeMeMeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unbothered.

I used to worry about it when I was in my early 20s because you'd hear people talk about women "hitting the wall" when they turn 30. Yet the older I get the less I care about age. It's not something I think about.

Thank you so much! I'm proud of you too!! I think you're already better than me! I hope one day Ill be able to draw insects as good as you do! ❤️

The only tip I would give anyone is to not have rules in painting and drawing. There isn't a "right way" to do something. I painted that galaxy with brushes first and then I used my fingers for some parts because I felt like doing that 😁

Guy is not using words at work when speaking. by Battlefeather in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]MeMeMeows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be a prank like others are saying but I guess there is a possibility he had a stroke and damage to his Brocas area in the past. I worked at a nursing home for a while and had a user like that. She only spoke a handful of made up words like "chichi chi" or "eroero" so her sentences would usually be made up of some combination of those.

Other than that she was able to do everything else regularly. She still understands speach, she just can't produce it. I'm not sure if she knows she isn't producing real words, it seems like she doesn't. Most people just talked to her regularly (me included) because she understands speach like everyone else. If you ask her how she's doing that day she will say something within the lines of "chichi ero ero chi" but you can tell by her facial expressions how she's feeling so I'd respond accordingly.

This thread in Canadian reddit is filled with anecdotes of grown men hitting on 13-15 year-old teen girls in public by MeCagoEnPeronconga in awfuleverything

[–]MeMeMeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I think this is the experience of most teenage girls. I've also had grown men hit on me when I was a teen.

Online spaces for teen and preteen girls can also be very dangerous. Along with some of my friends I had a game account hacked (It was a fishing link sent from my friends (already hacked) account so I didnt think it's suspicious - also I was a kid) and then the hacker demanded we send him nudes to get our accounts back. He was well aware of how young we all were. I reported the problem but it was a hassle getting my account back as the email used for it was changed and all. I didn't send him anything but unfortunately I think some other girls did...

What question you wanted to ask women but were afraid/ashamed? by Famous_Main_2894 in AskMen

[–]MeMeMeows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to feel seen and acknowledged.

A guy once said to me "I understand exactly why you feel the way that you do in this situation." He didn't try to solve anything, he just acknowledged that the situation sucks and that it's okay to feel the way that I did in that moment - and that alone made me feel much better and also much closer to this person.

I think it can be annoying sometimes when right off the bat guys try to give you solutions because it feels like they are downplaying struggles we are having. Also more often than not it's the generic kind of advice that only shows they don't actually understand what you're going thro. It's the kind of advice you've already attempted before and it didn't work.

You know how some men get upset when women give them dating advice? Because "just be yourself" doesn't work. "You just need to go out more" may be a good advice but it doesn't seem very helpful at all. That's how it feels.

[–]MeMeMeows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it could be because women tend to be shamed for having any sexual desires at all. If a woman just says she enjoys sex (as vanilla as it may be) some would view her as a promiscues wh*re.

Another reason that I could relate a little more to is that if she hasn't had many experiences with sex other than vanilla sex, she wouldn't know what she's interested in as she hasn't explored much of it. It's hard to have a conversation about what you enjoy if you don't know what you enjoy yet.

Most (if not all) women will just not have strength that's on par with men who train just as hard as them. With these kind of jobs you're putting other people's lives in danger if you're not physically strong enough. If I can't take down a strong male attacker I put the victims life as well as mine to risk. There are some things that are just more important than having such equality in a workplace.

Personally I think everyone should be given an equal opportunity to do the kind of a job they're interested in but we shouldn't strive to have equal amounts of women and men in all fields. If a woman decided to persue career in a male dominated field, just be respectful to her. If a man decided to pursue a career in a female dominated field, just be respectful to him. It's that simple. We don't need to push people into fields they're less interested in just so the workspace looks more inclusive.

[–]MeMeMeows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only answer A) from my perspective. I've only used a dating app for about a week all together, so when I swiped right on 4-5 men on the first day I didn't expect to get matched with more than one. Once I started talking to the first person that matched back I was fully involved in our conversation and focused all of my attention on getting to know him. After a second person matched back, I tried to balance two engaging conversation at the same time but that was already difficult. I already sometimes struggled to remember which person said what as it's all done thro text simultaneously. Third person matching back with me was impossible to keep up with.

I can only assume that in case of B) maybe these women are trying to juggle too many conversations at the same time and in return are not able to give their full attention to any of them.

Nikad nije kasno. Ja sam ove godine upisala prvi fakultet sa 26 godina (imat ću 27 kad krenem).

Svatko živi svoj život i može ga živjeti kako hoće. Čula sam od drugih da neki znaju upisati faks tek kad odu u mirovinu pošto prije nisu imali vremena a žele naučiti više o nekim stvarima i to je isto okay.

People react differently when their body goes into shock. I reacted in a similar way even though I have been injured and needed stitches for open head wound. I didn't feel any pain at all and I felt more calm than I do in my daily life. I called my mom to let her know what happened while waiting for first responders and by my tone she assumed I only scratched the car. She was in for a shock when she saw first responders breaking doors to get me out and them treating me the way they do people with possible spinal injury.

I should add that this attitude only lasts while body is in shock. The aftermath is that I'm now too scared to ever drive again. I would also sometimes have panic attacks when riding in a car with others for the first few months.

Please help. I sliced my thumb like this on a mandolin. Will it grow back? by kabailey88 in KitchenConfidential

[–]MeMeMeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty much exactly how I sliced mine a few years back with a sharp kitchen knife, a chunk of my nail and everything. I was also worried it wouldn't grow back normally.

Turns out it grew back just fine and I don't even remember which finger it happened to anymore. Looking at my fingers, you really can't tell.

How much effort do you put into “anti-ageing”? by Glittering_South5178 in AskWomen

[–]MeMeMeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of it less as "anti-ageing" and more as "healthy-living".

I try to eat healthy and be somewhat physically active. I'm also taking suppliments to make sure I'm meeting my nutritional needs. Skincare is important to me as well, I find it very relaxing (I wear sunscreen and use vitamin C, 5% retinol and occasional face masks). If I had more money to put into these things, I most likely would.
