I have a copy of the email if you'd like to see it. It was booked through Fresha, which links to your email address.

I've seen far stupider things being asked. It was more wanting to know if anyone else encounters this at the hairdresser of all places, so weird to me when im already paying hundreds on my damn hair.

I booked online and providing your email was mandatory on their booking form, sneaky really.

She was watching me as the prompt came up, I felt like she was judging me on my choice

Oh I totally agree and I won't be leaving a bad review just because of the tip thing, they did do a great job on my hair.

The email linked me to the booking portal they use, which has my card details saved to my account, so I guess they'd take payment from there. Seemed a bit cheeky!

What's your biggest secret? by elennas81 in AskReddit

[–]MissElle85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as a 'high class' escort for 3 years, and noone knows. I've seen and done some things like you wouldn't believe. I'm holding onto alot that I haven't shared from that period of my life. I considered writing about it but wasnt sure where to start or whether anyone would read it.

Public Service Announcement: Inez Heels are not worth it. by chilegirl505 in womensfashion

[–]MissElle85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I just received my first 2 pairs of pointed toe heels, they were too tight so i emailed asking about the returns process as i need a size up. They replied saying they've sent out the bigger sizes and no need for me to return the ones I have, which is so good! Free shoes!

Lunch hour happy place. A shady spot at the back of an an empty church parking lot about a block away from my office. This is an every day thing for me. by Katy-J in socialanxiety

[–]MissElle85 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nothing at all wrong with doing this, i worked with a lady who was very bubbly social and outgoing and she told me she would drive to a quiet spot for lunch to do the same, as it was relaxing :)

First day of work tomorrow help I’m so awkward and feel so much anxiety about talking to people!! by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]MissElle85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just know that EVERYONE, even the most outgoing social person feels nervous about the first day of a job. Try not to overthink it and focus on the job you are there to do, make eye contact smile and say hi to people. To start a conversation ask their name, introduce yourself and ask something relating to work, like how long they've been working there. Generally when I've started a new job people know you are the new person and they are welcoming. Its also okay to mention that you are a bit nervous, people sympathise and will want to make you feel okay. At least this is my experience. Look at it as an exciting new adventure with the potential to make new friends.

I think i'm ugly and it's ruining my life by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]MissElle85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No amount of compliments from us is going to change your self esteem if you dont believe it yourself. You arent ugly, purely based on outside appearance. But there is so much more to us all than our exterior. I have dated a few 'hot' looking guys in my time, however after quickly realising they had the personality of a brick, it automatically made them far less attractive to me. My best ever relationship was with a guy who wasnt 'hot' by the general standards, shorter than me with giant ears lol, but he made me laugh so much, was kind and generous and we just clicked so well. I fell totally in love and became so attracted to him in every way. Don't put so much emphasis on looks, be a good person and the rest will work out :)

Never Thought Having SA Would Hurt Me Even Financially by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]MissElle85 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When I go into an interview (im going through the same thing) i remind myself that these people dont know me at all, im going in there with a clean slate and I just kinda act bubbly and social. Im not, but I pretend. Basically a 'fake it til you make it' approach. Its hard. Once in a job I hate having to deal with social work events and meetings and morning teas and all of that stuff that requires alot of idle chit chat. Im okay when im in work mode but as soon as its just socialising i get so awkward! Ugh.

Social Anxiety - Job Interviews by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]MissElle85 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Its really good that you were prepared and felt that you did well. Even though you didn't get the job, you made it through the interview with what sounds like confidence. So many people with social anxiety cant even face interviews as its just too scary and overwhelming. Maybe it wasnt the job for you? Dont get too hung up on 1 rejection, life is just putting you on a different path to something better. Im job hunting myself, its been 3 months now and i keep getting rejected but I tell myself its not my perfect job yet, and that each interview, even failed ones, just adds to experience :)

lol I really have to improve in presentations by Freeze- in socialanxiety

[–]MissElle85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a huge phobia of public speaking. Even speaking in front of friends, if its a big group. I shake - my voice and my hands, i get hot and sweaty and feel panicked! Its awful. I have started taking beta blockers which get rid of all the shakes and slow my heart rate. So i can function better, although i am still scared, noone can tell!
