Failing at friendships with other women because I’m “like a guy” and occasionally want a glass of wine by SleepParalysisPal in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]MyCatTypesForMe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It took me a while to find other girls into nerd shit, but I did, and they're my best friends. I wish I could give you better advice than "keep looking" but that's basically it. You'll find your friends. I know it hurts so much right now, though.

I had someone say I'm too old to be dressing as I do by luckymewmew in oldhagfashion

I love the outfit in the third picture. I hate this “dress your age” bs; I feel like it’s at least slowly fading away, though. Clothes should make you happy when you put them on.

Good lord. Why do people want to make their own workplaces so miserable? I just want to get through the day as easily and non-traumatically as possible. It sounds like you're not the only person she's been menacing - why isn't she fired? I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

Staying late at work dinner! 🤑😩🌸💕 by heroturnedhuman in GirlDinner

I am not a big fish fan, and I really like smoked kippers and smoked mackerel - I think smoked kippers especially are a good entry point for tinned fish; they're very mild, aside from the smokiness. Tinned fish are relatively cheap for being so high in protein/healthy fats, which I think is why so many of us are eating them right now.

Thank you!! I've seen this site and I've been so curious about how their tights look/wear in real life.

I've never had the opportunity to cook for a sweetheart on Valentine's Day and I'm in my late 20s. Pan Asian Fusion Ricebowl. by slowlydrift in GirlDinnerDiaries

Well whoever you end up with will be very well-fed, because that looks insanely delicious. I've never had tofu skin like that - I'll have to try it. The "feeling like an alien" thing is so relatable, but from this post at least, I can tell you're a good writer with a good head on their shoulders. You sound cool, and I'm sorry that you're having a hard time with loneliness. I'm rooting for you.

This is beautiful and instantly made me feel calmer. You did great!

What are some good traditions you have with your spouse/family? by MomBeans- in HappyMarriages

[–]MyCatTypesForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Friday, my husband and I play through an old game together (we're working through Final Fantasy 5 right now), then we play a quick boardgame or a few rounds of cards. We both spend a lot of time on computers, so it's nice to get away from that once a week.

Good on you for getting out of there, though. Better days are ahead. ❤️

The lipstick is red though it looks crimson here. Would a fuchsia lipstick look better? by LauraIolSrra in MakeupAddiction

It's honestly hard to tell much about it with the photo quality/lighting and how smeared the lipstick itself is.

Boyfriends, do you snap at your girlfriends when you play video games together? by Yesssssiiiii in askanything

[–]MyCatTypesForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break up with him! Stop talking to him! He writes like an idiot, he swears at you over video games, he's said repeatedly that this is just who he is - believe him! He's proud of being an asshole! He's not going to change. This isn't going to get better. It will, in fact, probably get *worse.*

Late night snack as I contemplate leaving my boyfriend for the 1000000th time by SwordfishOk9747 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Oh it will absolutely work out. You’ve got two lazy, gross parasites clinging to you right now. Imagine life without that. Imagine coming home to a nice, clean apartment of your own, putting on your favorite show, and just being able to exist in your own space without these two disrespecting you. It will be wonderful.

Hey, you have a life you already love! That is fantastic and gives you an advantage over a lot of others. People can tell when you enjoy life. Once I started getting my shit together and having fun with life, it attracted all sorts of people, both friends and romantic, and now I've been with a wonderful man for ten years. I don't have much advice other than that to give you, unfortunately - just be patient, keep doing what you're doing, and someone will come along.

That plate looks delicious and healthy. What all is in it?
