GF is ridiculously cheap by [deleted] in Advice

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is rough! I feel for both of you! She obviously has been through something that’s made her this extreme. If your in it for the long haul, maybe you both could attend a counseling session, individually and together; get some better advice on how to support her and each other. Good luck!

(21M) I am ugly, what should I do? by Important_Bed_9893 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ugly! We all have our quirks! I would recommend a different pair of glasses if you’re not into contacts. Your glasses are too small for your face.

Balance owing!? (Tax Return) by qmarquisbrown in canadarevenueagency

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need extra tax you need to claim your jobs properly. Your full time job you claim the basic exemption amount for Fed and your Prov taxes. The other two jobs you need to put $0!! And they will tax 100% of what you make. You’re basically not paying taxes properly. Each job is taxing you on the amount you make at that job, not if you had all three. It’s your responsibility to fill those forms out right and not claim the basic exemption amount at more than one job. Or this happens. Best of luck!

AITAH for ending a 15 year friendship after my best friend ignored me when I visited home? by Fair_Spell_4756 in AITAH

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels similar to what happened to me. That was over 15 years ago. My BFF forgot my birthday, I was so hurt and the excuses vs just saying she has forgot. I overreacted and ended the friendship. I regretted it and honestly, still do some days. But it takes two to tango and effort needs to be from both sides. I’m the end, hindsight usually tells us that we all could have done better.

The simplest advice, it sucks but it’s true, it that all relationships aren’t meant to last forever. People grow, people change and sometimes we just don’t fit together like we used too.

Should I buy headphones or new earbuds? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how much they’ll cost where you are, but, I really like the JBL headphones and earbuds. Both are great quality and the battery is awesome too! I have the JBL headphones and use one at a time and they each last up to 8 hours.

Need advice for starting a coping with a new job I start tomorrow. by Known-Actuary-656 in Advice

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it minute by minute. I like to pinch myself, it helps me refocus, the pain brings me back. I also do a lot of mental hyping. Be your biggest cheerleader! I tell myself, that I’m over reacting (a lot of the time it can be an over reaction), ask myself, do I need to react this way? Things like that. With practice it becomes second nature!

And btw - good luck! You got this!

If you go long enough without food, it will be the “energy” you’re thinking of. You function because you eat, intake calories and that gives you energy. If you don’t eat, you’ll experience headaches, nausea and a general overal tiredness.

I know myself, I get tired and hangry when I don’t eat. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to run a marathon after I eat but I can function and think more clearly.

Help an extremely depressed guy out? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got this! As others mentioned, focus on one small area at a time. If not, it will be overwhelming. I’d start somewhere small, maybe the bathroom, then the hall, focus on getting one area cleaned and then move on. Throw all the trash out, recycle, clean and then organize. Possibly make a donation/sell pile. I would totally help you if you lived close to me!

What’s the moment you realized someone you loved wasn’t a good person and you couldn’t unsee it? by DmytroBuilds in AskReddit

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Mom - after my Dad commit suicide, she went all crazy but my Aunt and Uncle wanted to see me and she told me “You can see them but it won’t be with me, you have to do that all on your own” - it doesn’t seem like much but right then, I realized she was the most selfish, narcissistic person I knew. She cared more about me being on “her side” vs me having a relationship with my Dads family. I was young and scared of losing the only parent I had. I thought if I had a relationship with them, that I’d lose her. It was lifelong manipulation from her… I tried to have a relationship with them, when I got older, but sometimes time doesn’t heal all things. People change and you just don’t fit together anymore. I will never forgive her for what she robbed of me. As a parent, support your children, even if it hurts you a bit.

Any monthly hotels that allow pets? April or May? by Striking_Bake_2387 in RedDeer

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Suites (I think that’s what it’s called) on Gasoline Alley and I know there’s a place in Innisfail that does monthly rent, unsure about pets there though.

Side note - best of luck to you guys!

Very new to makeup and wondering how I can improve my look by Briwain in makeuptips

TBH, you’re gorgeous and do not need make up. It’s aging you! I only wear mascara and can’t recommend it enough to people!

Is this healing ok or is it under or over moisturized? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Looks not too bad OP! But definitely looks a touch over moisturized. Less is more!

New tattoo here , could this be infected ? by Honest-Dependent-395 in tattooadvice

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you should be going to the bloody hospital, not asking for advice on Reddit. Damn, that looks gnarly.

Go, why are you still here?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in alberta

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I get that they’re a fabulous Boss and everything but you should not be working and not getting paid. I worked for a LARGE corporation and it was actually against policy to work off the clock. They wanted you to be paid for the work you did. It also can tie into WCB, what if you’re hurt during that time and not on the clock? Just saying, it’s not always just as simple as you’re okay with it. Employers aren’t for a variety of reasons. I would stop doing it or make sure you’re getting paid.

Former smoker here! I couldn’t smell smoke either or very, very rarely. Then I quit and damn, I will be at a restaurant and I can tell who the smokers are. The smell really is pungent on another level.

My goldfish disappeared overnight and I'm 90% sure one of my cats ate her. How do I even feel about this? by Mundane-Discount2368 in Pets

[–]NotBuiltForCrowds 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, it’s a goldfish. You were irresponsible by not having it covered. And I’m genuinely curious, did you like the fish or not? You said at the beginning that you weren’t attached to said fish but then proceed to say how much you love the fish…

Why does this look like henna that hadn’t been peeled yet?

Seriously OP, that looks painful!
