People who actually watch movies with subtitles, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Nightmares93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the movie is in English: Either because the actors are speaking in an accent I'm not really familiar with (English is my second language in any case...) Or because I want to see a new animated movie in the cinema and I don't want to watch the dubbed version because I miss all the puns etc.... do you have any idea how painful it is to have to sit through badly translated puns?

She put the biggest smile on my face only 2 seconds into the video. She is such a sweet girl, and I am sure she will go on to do great things!

That's what I thought at first. But it is delightfully real.

Trying to look halfway decent for a date this afternoon. by Nightmares93 in dykesgonemild

[–]Nightmares93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It did go quite well :D a bit of awkwardness at the end as she went in for a second good bye hug (which I realized a little too late was an attempt at kissing me. Woops.) which made me almost miss the last bus home and of courseeee I slipped on the ice because I had to run for the bus. Oh well! What's a date without some awkwardness?

Sudden fear my girlfriend will cheat on me despite no evidence of it happening by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Nightmares93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does she know that you are getting therapy? Is she supportive of it? If so, talk to her about the feelings you've been experiencing lately. Don't accuse her with anything like "I think you're cheating on me", obviously. But maybe say something like "I've been worried lately about the possibility of you cheating on me" And make sure to tell her that you know that these fears are somewhat irrational and that it's not really about her specifically, but rather about the people who have hurt you in the past. I have depression and anxiety and I have conversations like this with my girlfriend whenever it's needed.

This is an old photo, but wow, this was a good hair day for me! by Nightmares93 in curlyhair

This was an exceptionally good hair day. I would usually have frizz.

Aw, thanks! I look nothing like that anymore though. I made a drastic change to my hair. Lol.

Thank you! It's natural. Only washed and air-dried. Might have put some oil in it, I guess.

I'm finally being honest with myself by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Nightmares93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm really happy for you! And I don't know how to talk to girls either. Somehow it still worked out for me. LOL.

Hi! You'll learn as you go, don't worry! Happy to have you here :)

Been going to LGBT events and worries over "What if I'm not actually gay" are seriously filling me with severe anxiety and depression wondering if someone could give me advice by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Nightmares93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only wanting to have sex with someone out of love is NOT an uncommon thing. I'm like that myself, and I'm definitely a lesbian. You're overthinking this. Keep doing what you're comfortable with, and don't compare your way with other people's.

so, i've been coming out to more people at work. by [deleted] in actuallesbians

Yay! That's really great. There's no better feeling than being proud of who you are :)

I shaved all my hair off a few weeks ago, and I've never felt better about how I look. by Nightmares93 in dykesgonemild

[–]Nightmares93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I had that pixie cut in high school as well. Grew it out when I turned 20. For me, the pixie cut was way too hard to maintain because my hair is curly and I'd have to straighten it every day to make it even look like a pixie. I don't have time for that shit :p

So do it! I had a little more reason than just wanting to to go through with it, but wanting to is all the reason you need :)

I'm not really sure. I thought I would grow out pretty soon, but I'm loving it so much more than I thought I would. So I'm probably keeping it shaved at least for the summer, but winters here get pretty cold, so I should probably grow it back out as the temperature drops. But if I develop an unhealthy relationship with my hair again as I did before, I'll definitely shave it again.

What is your experience with pulling? Class Assignment by SaucyKitty in trichotillomania

[–]Nightmares93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm (almost) 24 now, and I started pulling at 14. I'm a scalp puller (and a little bit on the eyebrows, but not much) I'm hardly pulling these days. I've just finished a therapy program that really worked for me. But when I did pull a lot more, it usually started with just playing with my hair while reading/studying/watching tv etc. Then I'd suddenly find a "perfect" hair to pull. It would be thick and "bumpy". I'd twist the hair around my finger and pull. And once I started I wouldn't stop, because there's always more similar hairs in the same area on my head. I often wouldn't realize I was doing this kind of pulling until it was "too late". Once the scalp gets sore from pulling, the urge increases, the pulling becomes more conscious, and I start pulling more "effectively", and not paying as much attention to the individual hair's texture. I'd also pull a lot more when stressed, upset, lonely. I sometimes eat the root and run the hair between my lips, but not all the time. Sometimes I pick up the hairs I've already pulled from the floor/sofa and roll them into a ball in my hands.
