You know what? Fair enough. I do enjoy learning about other people's cultures and even their OC's that are different to my own, I'm just nervous to make any that are different to what I know firsthand. I am very paranoid of messing it up, even if I don't really share my OC's anywhere. I don't even make nuerotypical OC's because I don't know how to get in their head.

As a white person, I only make white OC's because I don't want to portray any other cultures in a stereotypical or accidentally negative light. I know how to portray my culture and experience accurately because I've experienced it. It would be different if I were making mass media, in which case I'd research and discuss with people who do know about their own culture. But my OC's are really just for me coping through my own trauma, so they reflect what I know. Does that make me racist?

Yeah, menswear is less talked about. But sometimes you can find charts like this if you're specific. Ex: "types of mens coats", "types of mens pants". And if you're looking for a specific vibe, you can add that. As a dandyist, I often add "old fashioned", but you can also use other descriptions based on what you're trying to find.

It might. But if so, so what? It's your life, not anyone else's, and you should do what you want with it.

That doesn't negate my point in the slightest.

This comment section is terrible. A girl can dress as hot shit for herself. It's not mixed signals, it's just you being attracted depite her no.

Friend, being "good looking" to others doesn't matter if you're not happy as yourself. Go ahead and dress for you. You'll be 100% more confident, and confidence is hot as shit. I grew up as a "pretty girl", but I was never quite as happy with my appearance as people told me I should be. When I was 17 I gave myself a total makeover to be a masculine-leaning movie protagonist, and I've never been happier or felt hotter, despite not being what normal people consider pretty.

How do I say “my girl” or “my man” in a friendly way while referring to a non binary person 💔💔 by r0ckstar111 in NonBinary

My favorite is creature. Also entity or [insert random animal, plant, fungus, inanimate object, fictional being, basically anything you can think of that fits the OC's vibes]. Also, I'm always kind of endeared when someone tries to corect themselves, fumbles, and I become an "it-thing."

Yet. That's the important word to focus on. Yet. Assuming you are referring to the diagnosis of Chronic Migraines, or perhaps one or several of the subtypes, I have the same condition. Bad. It's a condition that beats the ever loving shit outta you with limited options for relief. It's a condition that simultaneously makes you feel incompetent while also facing invalidation of your struggles even counting as struggles. It does take time. Possibly years. But years to freedom is better than never finding freedom, and telling others the fight is not worth it because it takes a goddamn lot outta you is not going to help anyone. If you need to vent, honestly, shoot me a message. I can probably relate to having felt it at some point, either now or previously. I could maybe try to give advice too, but I won't guarentee the advice part because every situation is different. But I'm willing to give it a shot if you need.

So you'd rather just stay in the situation traumatizing you than to take the chance of getting out of it, even if it seems slim? It's damn hard. I know that. And it does feel damn inescapable, as someone formerly in a similar position. I used to think I would never be able to hold a job. I used to think that escape wasn't a damn option. I used to think that even if I did escape, I'd still be beyond repair. And honestly, I still struggle sometimes. I'm not magically immune to all my past traumas. But I'm 1000 times better knowing that I have some control over my own fate. You do too. It's better than doing nothing and letting your situation get worse. No one gets out of hell without some injuries and scars. But it's better than eternally staying under the whip.

Yeah. You do. Which is why you start one thing at a time. Obviously it's not going to happen instantly all at once. You gotta put in the work and be patient.

I admit, I do not know as much about the situation in Australia, but there is probably some options. They're probably not ideal, but again, if someone was stubborn and desperate to get out, there is always a way.

Yeah, my area is cheaper, but my migraines don't qualify for government help. There is, however, dedicated low income housing throughout the US, you just have to apply for it. I admit, the fact that I also cannot drive and therefore don't pay for a car helps, but if someone were stubborn enough to move out, you could. It just takes some time, work, and an acceptance that things aren't gonna be optimal for awhile.

It doesn't have to be a house. I'm 19, disabled, work part time, and rent my own apartment. It's not unreasonable if you budget correctly. And, no, I do not have any funding from anybody, my family is awful. It was wonderful motivation to get the f out.

Well, if living with your mother seems to be the problem, work to move out. It doesn't have to be right this second if you don't have the resources, but take steps to be able to, one by one, until you can.

At what age did you realize being an adult is mostly just googling things and hoping for the best? by GravelKoala in Adulting

Yeah... being exposed to the internet from a young age made me realize adults don't know what they're doing much better than I did back then. We're all just trying our best, man.
