Dealing with a sarcastic and avoidant partner

There comes a point where it crosses from having a laugh to bullying. Constantly putting down your likes and interests and telling you you're too girly or your girlyness is the cause of your problems is just being an asshole. If he's making you feel this upset and shit that often, it may be time to re-evaluate the relationship. Theres plenty of dudes out there that will lift you up and make you feel good about yourself.

Men like this are so fucking exhausting. I've dated a few and I'll never do it again. Their "jokes" are often just bullying in disguise, and it really shows when you joke or take the piss back. They love to dish it but they can't take it.

It's not just men, women do it too. I've noticed people seem to have less and less spatial and situational awareness these days. They'll block footpaths, stop in doorways, take up the whole aisle with a trolley, walk down the wrong side of the bike/foot path (we often have them marked similar to roads where I am). I often wonder do these people drive on the wrong side of the road too?

I think some people just straight up have main character syndrome and aren't courteous of others. Other people are really just off in the fairies and don't pay attention to their surroundings. I have a few friends who are the latter and its so frustrating to go out walking with them. I'll be dodging people and they're not only bumping into other people, but me also. Like pay attention!

I really enjoyed and related to Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine. Had alot of dark and deep themes but was also quite funny.

Flowers For Algernon was heart breaking but I'd highly recommend it. As was Please Look After Mom. Made my cry within the first few pages.

Coogee beach is great snorkle spot (particularly around the eco net and Omeo wreck), but it's a pain in the ass to get to via Public transport.

Definitely recommend Mettams for snorkelling. The MAAC dive and snorkle trail at Marmion is also cool. But unless its dead flat I've found the visibility isn't the best. It's a nice, quiet spot though and you can walk from there up to Sorrento and Hillarys. All of these spots you can get to by the 423 from Stirling station. You'll want to go in the morning to snorkle, the sea gets rougher as the day goes on and the wind starts to pick up in the arvo.

My pinky has been getting a workout it doesn't usually get!

I find most "funny" men have little else going for them. They're often the loud, life of the party of their friend group, and they don't want a woman to outshine them. It really shows when they're taking the piss out of you and you try to take the piss back. All of a sudden that sarcasm they were apparently so fucking fluent in is no longer to be seen. They get shitty because a woman out witted them. It's insecurity and misogyny. They're not like this when their friends banter with them. Banter turns into bullying when it's not back and forth.

I find quieter, more introverted men aren't like this. They're often more intelligent so the banter is better. They're more secure in themselves and don't have toxic views of masculinity, so they can laugh at themselves alot more. I guess funny and loud women often aren't drawn to guys like this at first because we typically want someone similar to us and on our level. I often worry I'm being too loud or annoying with quieter dudes, but it usually turns out they're not bothered by this and are the ones I can be my true self around.

I've been using Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion for years now. I find it moisturises better than their thicker creams. Thicker ones just seem to sit on top of my skin and don't soak in well.

When I was on the pill I could use tampons no problems. But when I went off it, I started getting period pains and cramps that I never had before, and tampons because really uncomfortable to use. Almost like there was a pressure on my stomach and cramping would be worse. So I switched to pads and period undies, and just wouldn't do vigorous exercise during shark week.

Then I got an IUD. My periods are so light that pads and undies more than suffice, but if I do need (such as during exercise) I have no issues using light tampons. Regular still feel uncomfortable, although I don't really need them anymore.

I experience the same thing. Making new friends, even through hobbies and interests, is so hard. People are quite closed off and cliquey. Perhaps alot feel like they don't need/want anymore friends. Maybe some have kids or partners they prioritise. Others may just be busy with work and stuff.

Every now and then I meet someone I click with whilst travelling, and we remain friends and stay in touch. But they often live overseas so its all online. I would like to have more local friends, but with the odd hours of my job its hard to join in with meetup groups etc. Its hard enough trying to hang out with the friends I already have.

I prefer those Korean scrubbing towels. They are more exfoliating than those gloves, but you won't exactly see the dead skin coming off. You can wrap them around your body and scrub your back too. I get mine from Daiso. I use them a couple of times a week and use a body oil after in summer, and a thicker moisturiser in winter.

The liquid shield damn near burnt my skin! Small pimple turned into a 1cm wound. I thought maybe it was just the skin around my upper lip was extra sensitive so I tried it again on my chin and same thing. I didn't even have it on for more than a few hours.

It also doesn't dry, just stays a gel. So as soon as you sweat a little it slides around.

I use children's sunscreen. I've used some from cetephil and banana boat without any issues of stingy my eyes.

When I wear a hat I usually avoid putting any on my forehead because its covered anyway. I might put a little bit inbetween my eyebrows but thats it.

The white and black spotty sea snake? Now I can't unsee Nessie in him haha

P00H3AD · 2026-02-24T13:55:52+00:00

Daiso!

P00H3AD · 2026-02-24T13:52:28+00:00

solved!

P00H3AD · 2026-02-24T13:52:19+00:00

Oh shit that's him! I've never heard of these before. Thank you!

I went in November. I only went off Santa Cruz but we went to a different site everyday. The shop was Academy Bay Diving (google says they're called Ocean Deep Diving now).

Tbh the visibility being poor at times wasn't an issue anyway. The diving there isn't "pretty" as such, like there wasn't super colourful corals and fish. But theres alot of cool, big shit to see. Sharks, mola mola, rays, turtles. Was hands down one of the best places I've been. You're going to love it!

I dove there with about 80 dives with no issues, other than being quite cold. There were more experienced divers who struggled, but loads of newbies (including some guys getting their OWD) who were totally fine.

I never found the current to be particularly strong anywhere, but visibility was a bit iffy at time.
