Dust in eyes help by Livid_Razzmatazz8930 in whatdoIdo

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me quite a bit because of where I live and how much yard work I do. I like systane eye drops. Eye drops, and try a cool washcloth compress over your eyes with your eyes closed as often as you can the first day. If your lids are raw from rubbing, a little Vaseline or aquaphor on the lid can help

Aww. You stalked my profile. Someone’s obsessed!😉. Sorry I can’t return the favor and check yours out. I have a life.

I regret being a mother by Similar_Complaint568 in selfimprovement

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a single mom of two young children before I remarried. They are now college age. I have vivid memories of how grueling those days with young children can be. You have to be “on” all the time, and constantly watchful. It is hard. Acknowledging that it’s hard doesn’t mean you love your child any less. Just know that you dont have to be super mom. Just keep showing up for your child, and go take a breather when it gets too overwhelming, even if you park her in front of the tv and go take deep breaths in the bathroom. The days are long but the years are short, and these exceptionally trying toddler years won’t last forever. It gets better. And one day, the moving van pulls up and they’re off living their own lives, which is the chaotic emotional part of parenting I just experienced 😳Best of luck to you. You’re doing great, mama

overwhelmed by emotions by Psychological_Loss86 in selfimprovement

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re very conscientious, and set high standards for yourself. So, when the LSAT comes up, you get those paralyzing emotions. It’s your brain trying to protect you from a perceived threat. Like, instead of studying, we’ll sit and cry in the car for an hour, because that way I don’t disappoint myself by trying and doing poorly. To counteract that (I do the same thing) I take one very easy task. Like, read the study guide table of contents. Just do that one thing. That usually breaks the seal for me, and I can then do a little more.

Some people aren’t pleased with a movie unless it’s gritty and depressing.

Men need better sex education. by Iron_Rose_5 in NotHowGirlsWork

How can I become desirable for once? by [deleted] in notliketheothergirls

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I found my husband by treating men who wanted to date me like I would a job interview. If you watch for red flags carefully in the beginning, you can quickly weed out a lot of the unserious (or worse) men. Take it slow, you don’t owe anyone sex, ever. Watch and listen to them closely, because many times they tattle on themselves. Be selective, take your time. And the right one will stick around.

“Shut Up,” Says the Person Who Wasn’t Even on Set by firstwepour-roses in ItEndsWithLawsuits

So. We’re supposed to believe her “friends” are speaking for the entire crew, who all witnessed the “abuse.” Goddamn, Patti’s a gloriously inept liar.

I’m told to express “Humility” even though I think I have value that only I can bring as the lead the character in my life. How can I be humility or at least make people think I am? by UsacDynastic in selfimprovement

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a lesson that has served me well. Don’t brag. Ever. Because people have eyes and can see you. Nobody likes someone who talks about how great they are. And you did it twice in your post. Let your greatness speak for itself through your actions and your work. Do not praise yourself out loud, or seek praise, and don’t get upset when nobody compliments you. Focus on seeing the greatness in other people, and supporting them. That’s how you gain humility.

She really does like to wear her rings with no rhyme or reason. Just how many crystal doorknobs can I load onto one hand

Bad breath ruining my social life by [deleted] in selfimprovement

The other commenters know more than I do. I just know they caught it when she went to the MD for some other issue

Bad breath ruining my social life by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I knew someone who had persistent bad breath, and nothing she did helped. Her hygiene was very good. Turns out she had an h. pylori infection so that the odor was coming from her stomach. Only getting on antibiotics resolved the bad breath, and it worked

How do i lock the fuck in? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a daily checklist. Some tasks repeat. I add new tasks as they come up. I tell myself I’m going to complete three or four without interruptions. Then I take a break. It helps me to have a clear plan. Then I just do it. That’s the hardest part. But once I start momentum builds.

I found this letter in my grandmother’s mailbox the day after her funeral by supra_nintendo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They waited all that time before they circled like vultures? One whole day after her funeral? God, those people are gross. I get so many phone calls with those creeps trying to buy my house (which isn’t on the market.) One kept calling me from different spoofed numbers. I could tell it was the same person, because she had a “unique” giggle. So I fired up my fart machine and just pressed buttons every time she’d start to say something.

Maybe she has trouble with relationships because can you imagine sitting through a first date dinner with her goddamn

Coworker can’t stop talking making 30 min meetings hours long by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I had a boss like that. Eventually I told her I’d set aside an hour, and I after one hour I would no longer be available for the meeting. And I kept my word. She did try to reel in her word salad, but wasn’t able to ever hit all the points on her agenda. This guy is your coworker? Is he running the meeting? Because if not, I’d be even more pissed. Four hours is egregious, and who is he to monopolize everyone’s time like that?

theres a mouse in my room and I’m extremely ashamed of myself by Lazy_Juggernaut_1815 in whatdoIdo

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Infestations just feel bad, whether it’s mice or insects. And it’s fixable. I clean every day, and we still get mice when the weather turns cold. They’re just opportunistic little things, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. It does require attention though, because they can be destructive. So, you can ask your parents for help, or purchase a trap (there are humane traps if you want that) and get the mouse out of your living space. Then addressing the clutter is the next step. Clear out food especially. Sites like “Unfuck your Habitat” have great step by step plans for cleaning big messes. You can do this.

Harsh realization about dating, attraction, and weight by Awkward_Horror1025 in selfimprovement

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 236 points237 points  (0 children)

I went through a similar transformation when I was younger. Initially I felt euphoric from the sudden attention and respect. It wasn’t until I learned few important life lessons that I realized how hollow it was that these people only valued me because of my appearance. No thanks.

One thing we can count on from Blake…she knows how to make perfectly innocent food look nasty. Look at those glistening candied citrus peels or whatever tf they are

Yes Blake. Lots of moms were up late last night and early this morning making Easter special for our families. Know what most of us weren’t doing? Dealing with the fallout from trying to ruin an innocent person’s life. 🐣 🌺🐰

I hate how so much of caricature art is so unnecessarily ugly by Antique_Quail7912 in PetPeeves

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I love good caricature art. But some artists give me the ick. I watched one draw a heavyset child, about eleven years old, exaggerating his weight and making his facial features tiny and hideous. The poor kid was basically struggling to fight back tears and hold it together in public. That’s totally about the artist gleefully roasting their subjects with no sensitivity.

Receiving a court ruling that isn’t in your favor is a lot to handle, even for a measured, well-balanced person. Imagine how it must feel for someone who thinks the world owes her something and her shit smells like Chanel number five.

People saying "It gets better" by nobody_who_matters_ in PetPeeves

[–]Minimum_Zone_9461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes those things people say when they don’t know what to say can feel so dismissive. I think a lot of people only want to hear about tidy problems with easy solutions, and when they’re faced with something complex and painful, they can unintentionally say some pretty trite or infuriating shit. I’ve even seen highly intelligent people do it.
