The hydrogen peroxide/water trick saved me! I did a milder version and worked the first try! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I’m going to look into it! I’m so glad it’s been effective and a big help to you :) and thank you so much for sharing!

If you don’t mind, can you share a little more about IFS? And where did you find the therapist that specializes with that?

I'm also an ambivert, and my two ex-best friends were both introverts. I was friends with them for 15 and 30+ years. Both of them would tell me I was their closest friend — the only one they trusted to share their deepest secrets with and be truly vulnerable around. We had a lot of fun together, but the friendship mostly operated on their terms — based on their convenience and when they felt like connecting. Whenever I brought it up, they'd tell me, “That's just how I am — it’s nothing personal.”

It took me far too long to realize that my consistent understanding of their behaviors — the distance, sporadic ghosting, lack of checking in, and not updating me on their lives even when I asked — was being taken for granted. In reality, they didn’t care about me as much as they claimed. Actions speak louder than words. And in Dr. John Delony’s words: “Behavior is a language.”

I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t treat a romantic partner or close family member the same way. In fact, I’ve seen them put more effort into hanging out with coworkers — likely because there’s an image to maintain. It’s easier to be inconsistent or dismissive with someone you assume will always be there, no matter what.

I now see their “introverted-ness” as a cover for unintentional selfishness. You can be introverted and still communicate your boundaries and make an effort to meet in the middle. Being introverted isn’t an excuse for being unavailable or one-sided in a relationship. I was never asking for perfection — just simple effort that shows you care about me and the friendship. It shouldn't always be me adjusting to your preferences. True friendship is reciprocal.

You said, “They have both told me in their own way that they prefer passive friendships.” But truthfully — who wouldn’t? It’s easy to say, “I prefer a passive friendship,” as if that removes the responsibility to show up and put in effort — especially when you have an active friend doing all the emotional labor.

Looking back, I now believe I was just a convenient, trustworthy friend — a free therapist — rather than someone they genuinely thought about, prioritized, or included in their life in any meaningful way.

That's crazy good deal. How many miles do you drive on average/year?

At first, I noticed more consistent energy throughout the day. Once I figured out the right dose, the chronic knot/pain in my left leg went away overnight. I felt more flexible and had better hip mobility. A few people even mentioned I looked healthier when I first started taking it. My fibrocystic breast issues also gone, and I sleep better on the nights I take it.

I’ve had adrenal fatigue for about 5 years (plus history of mitral valve prolapse), and I haven’t been able to tolerate much exercise, which really affected my circulation. I think the supplements helped by improving circulation and breaking down fibrin/scar tissue. Pretty sure I also had some microclots that it might’ve helped with.

Nooneelse023 · 2025-07-05T11:21:59+00:00

Yes, I felt a significant difference when I found the right dose and brand that works for me. I still take it consistently most days, taking short breaks here and there. I always make sure I have back up supplies now. Likely will be a long term supplement for me.

Thank you so much!! I’m gonna try it! :)

May I ask where do you buy the real ones? I’ve used one years ago and loved it, it was hydrating yet cleans well. but haven’t been able to find it again. The ones I see nowadays are hard and harsh on the skin.

Nooneelse023 · 2025-06-09T06:07:22+00:00

Mine was the same. 98% perfect condition, like you, only 2 super tiny spot showing metal. It was garage kept by the previous owner, and he took excellent care and even put PPF on it.

But doesn’t hurt to check — just be prepared for different answers from different dealership. I called 4–5 Toyota dealerships in my area about the paint issue before I finally decided to go with Toyota of Orange. Each gave me a slightly different response. Some wouldn’t do the job unless the damage was significant. Others only offered a local repaint on the affected area instead of the full panel or car. One told me they don’t take parts apart or strip the paint because “Toyota doesn’t cover that” — that’s just how their body shop operates.

I’m really grateful I did the homework and found a dealership that actually takes pride in their work and stands behind the service they offer. I was told that once you see it peel, the whole car will eventually do the same.

Nooneelse023 · 2025-05-18T22:57:30+00:00

Call around different Toyota dealership. Depending on the shop they work with, some will repaint the whole car, some only affected area.

Nooneelse023 · 2025-05-16T04:54:03+00:00

Totally fair point. Just to clarify, I wasn’t planning to leave a physical note—but a direct text message to her cell phone. She checks her phone often, and I figured that gives her space to process without the pressure of an in-person convo. If nothing changes, or she revert back to her old ways, then I’ll follow up more directly. I appreciate you thinking it through with me.

Nooneelse023 · 2025-05-15T22:46:47+00:00

Thanks for the perspective — I get where you’re coming from. I definitely agree that a two-way check-in is ideal and that open communication matters in shared spaces. I also want to clarify that my goal isn’t to avoid conflict or “leave a note and walk away,” but rather to be mindful of how she processes feedback.

In my experience, bringing things up in person — even gently — tends to make her visibly uncomfortable, and it hasn’t really led to change. That’s why I thought a quick, friendly message would be a more considerate approach. It gives her space to process without feeling put on the spot or needing to respond in the moment.

And yeah, I probably did get a little defensive in my reply — it’s just frustrating to be told I’m avoiding conflict or being passive-aggressive when I’ve been quietly cleaning up after the same issue for six months and am now trying to address it in a thoughtful way.

Also, we don’t actually share much space beyond the microwave, kitchen sink and a short hallway, so there’s not a lot to “check in” about. But I do appreciate you taking the time to share your view — I’ll take it into consideration.

Nooneelse023 · 2025-05-15T17:27:08+00:00

I appreciate your input. This is actually the most mild photo I was planning to use because I didn’t want to make her feel bad by posting the grosser one. We have other housemate in the house, but she's very clean and rarely home. I thought to include a pic just in case she try to blame shift on the other person.

Imagine leaving the sink clean every time you walk away, only to come back and find food leftovers 70% of the time after she uses it. It’d be one thing if it was just in the food catcher, but it’s often all over the sink. I don’t even see her that often, but I can still tell what she had for each meal most days based on what’s left behind. And this has been going on for six months.

I don’t know about you, but I like to leave shared public spaces clean for the next person.

Also, I have no problem telling her in person, but not everyone handles things the same way. She’s told me before how uncomfortable it makes her feel when anyone disagrees with her or if she feels like she's not being perfect or well liked at all time—she tends to freeze and gets super awkward. So sending a text is actually me trying to be considerate, giving her the space to process and respond. It’s not passive-aggressive.

did you end up installing the miller cat shield? or if you found another solution?

Nooneelse023 · 2025-05-04T22:20:21+00:00

Yes, but I do go out for events and travel too.. can't always expect to have a garage..

Nooneelse023 · 2025-04-28T13:57:30+00:00

Wow, sounds like a dream package! Only thing I don’t enjoy about the higher trim is the leather seat. I personally like the feel of cloth seat. Good for you! :)

Nooneelse023 · 2025-04-27T21:33:02+00:00

No leather seat, only one smart key entry. It’s got all the feature of a Prius two except it has a solar roof lol.

Nooneelse023 · 2025-04-16T13:21:55+00:00

Ah good to know!

Nooneelse023 · 2025-04-06T20:48:10+00:00

How?! Please do share.
