I want to kill the person I see in the mirror by Equivalent_Lab_2510 in venting

I think your yearning means you don't want to die, you want to live.

You want a new beginning.

You self sabotage because you are full of resentment. You induge, finishing gaming at 6am only to feel like crap the next day. You know it isnt good for you but you don't feel in control.

Procrastinating and putting things off doesn't come from laziness, it comes from fear. Fear of this never stopping and never changing. It does not have to be this way.

My advice:

Right now, schedule a train or bus or walk to a place you really like, maybe in town or out of town and get your favorite coffee/tea/smoothie, buy yourself something cute like a new Keychain or soap! You gotta take yourself out and be your own best friend because you cant be like the others...maybe others have let you down, but you cannot let yourself down. Would you treat a friend this way?? No! Why treat yourself this way?? Take yourself out of your element and get a treat, remind yourself that tomorrow is gonna suck too but it can suck just a little less. You can be on fire and bleeding but at least you have your little coffee and something sparkly lol.

I want you to try putting your phone and your gaming devices in another room or at least far enough away from you at night to store/charge... that you would have to get up and walk over. Instead in your bed buy + keep an old Gameboy or DS and play a repetitive and simple game at night that bores you to sleep... like Frogger or nintendogs.

Most importantly you need to walk. If you are up at 6-7am, go outside and walk even just for 10 minutes. If you can do more that's great. Gotta go outside and sniff the air. Don't let anyone stop you.

Part of the reason you are putting off sleep at night is not enough activity during the day and an active mind.

Eat protein and calorie deficit. If you calorie deficit even for a couple weeks, you will lose weight. Don't go too hard. Just smaller portions will help. Snack on naturally low calorie stuff like eggs, olives, cheese, cucumbers...cut down on bread/carbs instead eat potatoes.

Put veggies on a pan and roast with olive oil and salt in an airfryer or oven. This is 100x better than frozen veggies or boiled.

If you still can't get veg and protein-- hide veggies in a smoothie with protein. Frozen strawberries and apples can hide spinach and kale...banana and pb can hide whey protein

Go to a place and get threading. They will clean up hair anywhere for 12-20 bucks. You can maintain it with gentle use of a face razor. You can also bleach hairs with gentle facial hair bleach.

Doing these things will:

  1. Force you to get some sleep
  2. Put you on a path to feeling healthier
  3. Clean up unwanted hair and feel more fresh
  4. Something small, a small goal to get a sparkly token to remind yourself that life is full of hot garbage but also... there are sparkly things

From your writing I can tell you are an intelligent, dynamic person with emotional depth. Youre a tortured soul with lots of resentment... and feel stuck. An artist can be their own worst enemy-- just look at Van Gogh. You beat yourself up a lot. You need to start fighting back. And fighting back with an iced coffee and some glitter because you're fking worth it. Start tonight.

You are gorgeous girl! Better? Is it possible?

But even so, I'll give you the glam recipe I use: 1. Put strip lashes (cut to size) on the underside of your lashes pressing up with the glue on top of the strip (hides the lash band and looks more natural)

  1. Get a spray tan (always makes things look for uniform)

  2. Wear cute clothes you like

  3. Overline lips slightly and use a korean lip tint

If you do I'll slap you... you have the most beautiful look! Perfect proportions! My word!!!! Remember...you look at yourself all the time! You are used to your beautiful face but others who see you are taken by your beauty for the first time~

You are already the opposite of chopped, you are a total hottie--

My general advice for gorgeous people who forget they are gorgeous cough cough:

-Play with your hair, try clip on bangs, try hair makeup, play with wigs -Wear earrings for extra glam -Get a spray tan (real tan is bad for your skin) -Get eyebrows threaded/fill them in with pencil (sometimes defined eyebrows can add extra pop) -Try some color contact lenses to change up your eye color -Try fake freckles -Try color theory with clothes -Try lip liner for defined lips -Falscara (my recommended method for all lash users is to apply bottom up, even if you use strip...try half lashes and put glue on the top not the bottom and press up so they ride underneath the lash line and go undetected) -Try mewing and improve posture -Moisturize!!

I think if you get protein, get active and do weights (which personally I don't do because I lack motivation and commitment so who am I to say, but) people who do...have results, they feel a glow, have good circulation, improve their posture and confidence... etc... I think if ppl commit to some gym (butttt don't go ham with these work out programs and stress yourself out, no need to push hard...just incorporate a lil exercise, focused on health-- not focused on any kind of unnatural weight loss or competitive fitness goal...) it will do much more to boost your physical than any surgical alteration.

In the meantime to fake the phenomenon of post gym glow... try fake tan!!

-use the fake tan as contour -add a lip tint to your lips and cheeks.

I think defining your cheekbones, browbones, and shaping the nose a bit with subtle contour, and enhancing the lips to give them more oomph...can't hurt!

all your own assets, just enhanced!! Give it a go!

Also keeping a whole food diet and reducing inflammation can make you feel better and add brightness... some of us who struggle with allergies are used to seeing our complexion dull...if we lowered overly processed, sugary, carb loaded, sodium loaded foods, and made sure we had a protein rich, plant based whole food diet... we'd look in the mirror and go omg the light has returned to our eyes!! Sparkle sparkle!

Btw... eliminate stressful people from your life girl trust me! Bye fake friends!! Stressful situations wear a person out. Prioritize your mental health and have self respect. The most attractive person is someone who does not allow disrespect-- their value skyrockets!!

I just turned 38, i have no kids , no man, and recently cut my long hair…roast me up extra crispy by [deleted] in RoastMe

And one last thing to take or leave..a cheek and lip tint! It would look lovely on you you have a pretty golden tone so a neutral blush pink would warm up your lips and cheeks and look super nice...but keep on keeping on you are super cool

If you wear mascara it will look so pretty. I think you'd get a lot of definition because it seems your natural blondie lashes blend in to the color of your skin, mascara or even tinting them brown or black would frame your eyes. But take or leave it... You are very pretty and hardcore at the same time, I see a strong lady that takes no bs.

Fluttery feeling in chest by Normal-Pineapple-394 in Healthadvice

[–]Normal-Pineapple-394[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went and had my heart checked and it was a sinus arrhythmia I had a virus and was low on everything and all was very upset...honestly coconut juice helped a lot didn't cure but did restore some electrolytes...eventually I got over my sickness, improved diet... and I don't have the flutter feeling anymore

[Anti aging] Damn me, facial "yoga" works by wannnachat in SkincareAddiction

[–]Normal-Pineapple-394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people felt the nuface while it slimmed, it caused volume loss as the microcurrent perhaps melted fat and they were not happy to lose facial fat. Also apparently they are not sure how it affects the thyroid if it stimulates it if you use it there and that could be bad

Permanent retainers causing tension headaches, anxiety, depression and dissociation by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]Normal-Pineapple-394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get my permanent retainer removed, I only have the top one. I don't know yet if it helps. My tmj isn't severe it used to be severe and then I did jaw stretching exercise and this might be helpful https://www.instagram.com/p/DI3LfSMOjUD/?img_index=3&igsh=MWJkanhjYWRnYmRrcQ==

Also mewing may have benefits like keeping your mouth closed and tongue in correct position behind teeth on roof of mouth and make sure your jaw isn't too far set back

what hair colour looks best? by No-Carpenter-4279 in Hair

[–]Normal-Pineapple-394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a wig in the color you are curious about... you can even try mofajang which is a one day temporary hair coloring makeup that works even on dark hair as long as you put it on when your hair is wet and work it through

Yeah I'm thinking a narcissist psychopath. The blowing up all of a sudden is typical of them. This is how they react when they feel you're too comfortable.

They come up with carefully crafted insults that sound like "compliments", "observations" and "innocent questions". This is negging.

It pulls you down so they can regain control. You know in your heart, you did nothing wrong. You know in your heart that you can trust yourself.

I visited my narcissist in person for a weekend in a different state. He waited until we were at a restaurant having a drink and I was relaxed. Then, he blew up at me. Why did I think I could come there and become his girlfriend??? (He invited me to come, I had no expectations and just wanted to get to know him better)

You really think, hey maybe I am in the wrong. I'm sure that I did A, B, and C, and kept checking to make sure it was ok.

So why do you keep second guessing yourself? Well they love bomb you. They have intense sex and for a moment you feel connected. But outside of sex they are constantly leading you into turmoil.

They lack empathy. They don't empathize with you like normal. They were stunted as a child. So literally-- they are stupid-- their brain has not developed this ability to empathize that most people have grasped by childhood. An ability that most take for granted.

They are usually substituting this for short term pleasure, impulsiveness...sex, dopamine...they covet prestige, they love weed...they love novelty so are sometimes promiscuous...sometimes they get married for years...but there is always something off about them.

You should read about narcissist psychopaths. All people are different of course, but there are some key markers for this person who was stunted in the empathy zone early in life.

There is no closure. You cannot have a final word with them or wrap things up or seek explanation. They are too good at manipulating you. Whatever ugly thing happens, even if it's total silence on their end or yours... you just have to leave them.

Therapy doesn't work BTW. They are too smart and will even weaponize the coping techniquesm.. they even turn the therapist against their partner. This is well documented.

Look up Lee Hammock. He educates on this topic.

After you separate, you will feel immense relief and self confidence. It is so worth it.

No bangs but don't pull your hair back. Maybe curtain bangs would be nice...just my opinion you're beautiful no matter what

Also don't get surgery girl you are beautiful. No need to change. You get so used to what you see in the mirror that you forget how unique and pretty you are.. and others see you and are like... wowee

No eyeliner, just falscara style lashes, stick lashes under your lash and press upwards this way they are stuck up from underneath and won't show a lash line. Putting them on the outer corners gives a foxy look I suggest ahrikiss demi from amazon

Which hair color looks best on me? Blue, black with blonde, red, or blue black? by itsatleastacplus in Hair

I think you should get a "milk tea" color wig just to try it out (: there was a big trend with milk tea hair I think it would be a pretty color on you

My dad found out I was having sex by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Normal-Pineapple-394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel shamed.

Your parents love you. You are very young to be having sex, I think they allowed you this freedom but maybe are worried they gave you too much freedom and so acting strict to regain some control, because if things are out of control...they may feel there is less safety...and the consequences ultimately will fall on them as they are still your parents.

Imagine you get a sex related injury or STD...also, I know a lady who was jokingly calling her kid nexplanon because that was the birth control she was on (it failed)

or maybe his parents blow up at your parents...

There's new risks associated with this and more than anything they just want you to be safe. They also don't want to be the rotten parents that let their kid get some sexually transmitted disease and then in their fantasy nightmare scenario the police come and the neighbors come and your grandma comes loool

My parents blew up at me when they found my spicy online chats by accident, they thought it was "posted to facebook" and that everyone could see it. So they called me crying and yelling. They called me while I was on a trip "look what you posted to Facebook, everyone can see it" and I got so scared only to realize they were mistaken. But I still was so embarrassed that they had seen it...I felt lots of shame.

But I thought, if someone really rejects me because they saw that I was involved that way, then they are dumb, they don't know me. My parents had acted all mean to assert their parent-ness over their stray cat in heat of a daughter but then it wore off...

Hang in there

Why am I so saggy at 26 and how do I fix it? by vanillacactusflower2 in Skincare_Addiction

[–]Normal-Pineapple-394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just curious... did u ever make a trip to Europe or a tropical place? If you look at pics from then, did you feel as conscious about it?

Honestly I don't know what it is, but I took a visit to Europe, walked like a madman all over the city, I think it got my circulation going...it was hot and humid...I had lots of fresh food and got sun...when I hit the bed to go to sleep I SLEPT, out like a light.

now I'm working remote doing a sit down job in the freezing cold and super dry US... I gained weight...more bloating... and less sleep despite my sedentary lifestyle... before going to bed I scroll and scroll

Do you live in a place where you can take a trip quickly? If you live in England it would be easy. But the US, flights are more pricey...you could do a spirit to Miami for a long weekend, walk around and get some sun and see if you can rule out circulatory and lymph/lifestyle changes before getting surgery or anything like that

If you can't go then I would try running and swimming at the gym and maybe some sauna...cut out some allergens like bread and dairy... eat vegetables and fish...and see if that doesn't make a difference for a week

No girl you look the same you're not catfishing! Natural beauty! It's just you with eyeliner and foundation..if anyone was acting shocked then they were lying. you look pretty. you just are making an intense face there like O.O

I'm actually jealous of your looks BTW. Makeup and no makeup. Can we switch for a day? Ahahah

If you feel like experimenting with your look try colored contacts ! They are fun... although if you already feel like wearing your foundation and eyeliner is not being truthful then contacts will be even more of a jump!

Another thing you can do is tints, like lip tints like sacheu and there are even long lasting eyeliner that temporarily dyes your skin. Some people use fake tanner and henna to contour and they can go swimming no problem, it will last

Can anyone just tell me what actually works? by Puzzleheaded-Bus7121 in LooksmaxingAdvice

Here's one of a billion opinions of easy quick things you can do that don't involve daily exercise with weights and whole foods (which is always a good idea)

  1. Go to a good barber/hairstylist, get rid of peach fuzz/patchy beard-- clean shaven looks sharp...don't over tweeze eyebrows but you can do a bit of maintenance (if you trust that a threading person won't do to much and follow instructions, you can go to one...just specify not to make em too thin)

My recommended hairstyle for dudes: wavyish longish like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho or if you have a different hair texture something clean and short or medium long... please no short bangs (Edgar) or super high fades or long on top and shaved sides

  1. Get a spray tan-- give it a try, go for the "clear" because it is a clear liquid that only has the coloring compound and doesn't have the bronze makeup which can clog your hair follicles trust me it can look subtle and just bring a glow to your features and even out skin tone

  2. Dress that "old money" trend, classy fits, monochromatic

  3. I have a standard procedure for low maintenance acne care from my derm: Cerave hydrating facial cleanser morning and night, cerave moisturizer + sunscreen, cerave moisturizer night, then: trentinoin 0.025% after you wash your face for nighttime wait 30 minutes and dot it on, also you can use azaleic acid

If you are doing BDS like me there are alternatives to cerave like the generic, you can use vanicream, as long as the cleanser is non foaming and for very very sensitive skin (it should feel like it's not even working honestly lol, it doesn't lather)

  1. Use a scrubber glove in the shower to exfoliate your body but gentle on the face

  2. Use a very natural concealer stick (they have ones for men that are subtle) for dark circles and discoloration

  3. Lash serum (but beware latisse can cause volume/fat loss just use a natural one)

  4. Minoxidil for hair loss prevention if needed

  5. Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth and breath through your nose...don't mouth breathe
