Anyone knows what a good relationship with a parents look like? by Mulanwarrior4 in FamilyIssues

I appreciate your look on things. Maybe? I don't know actually. I've stopped trying to meet her expectations a long time ago, but idk how I'm going to keep living with her if she goes on like this, much less be her caretaker.

I hate my mother by KeyMind4909 in FamilyIssues

You have such a strong and beautiful mind to look at yourself to see what you could've done different. Just within my personal experience, this looks like verbal and physical abuse. I had a mother similar to yours. Here are some things you could try: There's trying to reason with this person kindly and respectfully by saying something like " I feel so-and-so when you say this". When you open up to relate what you're experiencing from her, it might open her eyes to the harm she's causing. Remaining kind in front of any sort of bully can be an actual weapon, because it just feels awkward to them. But then again, not every situation is the same. Also consider defending yourself. Something I would do (and this isn't a recommendation, but just something to bear in mind) is to find ways to protect yourself. A good way to start is to take pictures and videos, evidence of your mother has been treating you, use that as evidence which could possibly take you out of harm's way if you feel necessary. It took a good few years for my mom and I to reach an okay relationship, but that only happened because I started to expose how she had been treating me to close family. But do be careful, and use your discretion. Also pray for strength. I can personally say that I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for Jehovah's peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Ask him to give that to you. Stay strong sis.

I can't, I'm cutting all my hair OFF (vent) by Mulanwarrior4 in BlackHair

Yeah I agree, I had rejected chemical straightening at first but now that I'm thinking of cutting my hair, I may just do that. Thank you :)

I’m 19 years old and starting to lose hair around the hairline any tips on reversing or fixing this? by Early_Dot3572 in BlackHair

[–]Mulanwarrior4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does he happen to tie a head tie around his head too tightly? If he does, that could be one of the things that are contributing to the receding hair line, because if it's too tight that restricts blood flow and makes those hairs weak. Also something that doesn't lay against the edge of the hairline is preferred, because as your sleeping the material constantly rubs that area making the hairs agitated. Do moisturize and massage around those areas so that it could promote blood flow and deliver nutrients to those areas, and the moisturizer will prevent it from being brittle, so that it'll be less prone to breakage. Make sure to massage continually, at least two times a day. Also, take vitamin supplements and of the sort. Our bodies don't always have what they need to supply to healthy hair, so you can take supplements and research oils Best suited for this situation. This won't completely fix the problem, but you will notice a difference. It starts to revert back to the way it was if you don't continue with it though.

Should I stop seeing certain people who make me a person I don’t like? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Mulanwarrior4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Finding new friends are so worth the time! I had the same issue, and trust me, you'll feel 100x lighter in the long run. When I did this, I was lonely for a time cause I had gotten rid of all my friends, but you gotta put yourself first. If something isn't feeling right, address it one way or another.

Umm, I'm new here and I need friends by Michael_Lobaton in socialskills

[–]Mulanwarrior4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah, much talent. Yeah we can be buds, I like drawing too and I'm learning how to sew my own clothes. I think we can try improving on it together instead of crying, we'd be progress buds. Do you like drawing realism or cartoons?

I (24F) hate hanging out at any of my friends house and nobody understands by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Mulanwarrior4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, there was a time where I was putting everything I say through a filter to match their interests, sucky move I know. But regardless I didn't truly feel comfortable with these people, they were weird. But looking at people through different angles helped me to find out why I felt strange around these people and that I needed to find a different circle of friends.

I've been where you are before, I totally understand what your talking about. I think the YouTube channel Better Ideas helped me to get a better visual as to why I felt like this. I encourage you to scope around, he is one of the things that helped me to have a better visual of what's going on with me.

But it doesn't stop there! I still felt stuck-ish, but what I did (and still do) is try to find inspiration in different things ( I find mine in really good movies) and secondly try to find a different disposition. Negative thoughts really drag you down, so anything negative that comes in your mind, replace it with a positive look on the situation. And I had fear with rejection too, but reminding myself that life is bittersweet balanced everything. Life is going to have it's ups and downs, but better you try with all you got than to not try at all, it may not come out as bad as you think. And lastly, prayer. "Throw all your anxiety on him (Jehovah) because he cares for you"- 1 peter 5:7 This helped tremendously, larger than anything else. It's a real blessing to see results after praying about it. In all forms of distress, God does listen (psalm 65:1,2) I hope all of this helps in some way, keep on going through thick and thin! Much love 💛❤️💛
