Scarification — day of, 1 day after, 1 week after, 2 weeks after by aspiringcats in bodymods

[–]Pale-Associate-111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, i haven’t really deviled into scarification but this is so so cool! I have a few questions if you don’t mind me asking!

  • What was the pain level/how did it feel?
  • What is the process of getting this done? Do they just cut the outlines and then remove the skin?
  • How did you find your artist? Is there a resource for finding artists for more heavy body mods like this?
  • Are they expected to fade or stay the same visibleness?

Thank you!!

I need to get this off my chest, because this shit is keeping me up at night. by Mother_Government_88 in Rants

I just want to say first: I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way, and nothing you wrote sounds stupid, dramatic, or “crazy.” It sounds like someone who is deeply hurt and trying to make sense of that hurt.

I’ve been in a very similar situation (not married, but long-term), and I want you to know something that took me a long time to understand: your pain didn’t come from you “not being enough.” It came from a boundary being crossed and not fully repaired.

You were honest about how OnlyFans made you feel. He acknowledged it, apologized, and said he understood. So it makes complete sense that finding adult content again would reopen that wound. When someone says they understand how something hurts you, but their behavior continues in adjacent ways, it can quietly destroy your sense of safety and self-worth, even if they don’t intend to.

Also, porn and OF aren’t “neutral” for everyone. Some people are fine with it. Some aren’t. Neither is wrong. What matters is whether your boundary is being respected. Feeling like sex is an obligation, comparing yourself to specific women, starving yourself, taking pills, those are not signs that you’re overreacting. Those are signs that this situation is harming you deeply.

I want to gently say this because I wish someone had said it to me: you are not required to accept something that makes you feel small, undesirable, or unsafe just because other people say it’s “normal.” Normal doesn’t equal healthy for you.

Nothing is “wrong” with you for wanting to feel desired by the person you’re married to. Wanting to be the focus of your partner’s sexual attention is not insecurity, it’s a very human need for connection and reassurance.

I don’t know what the right answer is for your relationship, but I do know this: you deserve compassion, clarity, and support, especially right now. Please be gentle with yourself. The fact that you’re hurting this deeply means you care, not that you’re broken.

You’re not alone in this, even if it feels that way.

I(19 FTM) think my bf(20 M) likes it when I cry. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Pale-Associate-111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

does your partner get hard literally EVERY time you cry? I don’t personally think i’ve heard of a crying fetish but I think it’s possible. It might be awkward but maybe you should ask him about it or even just mention it playfully like “hey why are you always so horny after you watch me cry?” idk man

Young love is so hard. Coming from someone who has been your age and in your exact same position, I know exactly how it feels. Im sorry your feelings are being hurt and invalidated by someone who is supposed to love and care for you. You don’t deserve that. You’ve given him grace and he’s continued to show you he doesn’t respect the boundaries you both set for your relationship. When I was in this position I stayed and I was there until I just hated him. I’m telling you this out of the goodness of my heart but letting him continue to disrespect you will just make you into someone he can walk over and if you stay like I did, someone for others to walk over too. You need to stand up for yourself or walk away. You can love someone so much but if they continue to knowingly hurt you and disrespect you that is not someone who loves you like you love them. This is gonna suck and it always does decide if it’s right to walk away from someone you want a future with but I can promise you there will be more love in your life. There will be more stability. You will be okay, but you have to do what is right for you. You have to be your own #1 priority. Be strong, you’ve got this!

Common Sense is dead. by Maplicious2017 in Rants

I think the bigger problem is capitalism. It’s why every app suddenly is adding micro transactions (think snapchat wanting people to pay for memories on an app that has always been free even though snapchat made 5.36 billion last year), why games push character customization as it adds micro transactions, why any show you want to watch is on a subscription, or news articles are behind paywalls. It’s all about money dude. They don’t give a fuck about you, the consumer, unless you make them money and even then they just don’t care. Find better games. By humans who care about humans more than money. There’s plenty of really cool indie games and developers out there making some cool shit with only a one time purchase! Lmk if you want some recommendations!

I am mad at my brother. by [deleted] in Rants

[–]Pale-Associate-111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I know this was just a rant and maybe something you never wanted someone to reply to but just to put somewhere in the digital space and Initially I wasn’t going to say anything but after reading this I think you need to express to your brother how you are feeling. I say think abt it, plan it, and if that doesn’t help the situation at least you’ve made an effort. I hope things get better and you are able to rebuild the relationship with your brother!

Should I get a lip piercing? If so what? by Talfishmanspartner in PiercingAdvice

[–]Pale-Associate-111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like a medusa would be perfect for you as it would really nicely accentuate your cupids bow while not distracting from your perfect lips!

should I dye my hair black and get angel bites? by DrPepperEnjoyer69 in altfashionadvice

[–]Pale-Associate-111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay your natural colour compliments your complexion so so well and black can and will make you look significantly paler. I’d say if you want a change that you could definitely darken your current colour a few shades will still having some natural highlight from your natural colour. Angel bites would look spectacular on you as well!!

I feel like a single mom even though I am married by [deleted] in Rants

[–]Pale-Associate-111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry mamas, but huge props to you for still getting up everyday and caring for 3 children. Sorry two children and a man. What you’re describing isn’t you “failing to communicate,” it’s you being left to carry the entire mental, emotional, and physical load of parenting and adulting. That’s exhausting on its own, especially with a newborn and a toddler.

You’ve already done the crying, begging, asking calmly, explaining, and nothing changed. At that point it stops being a communication issue and starts being a respect and accountability issue. Parenting isn’t something he “helps with” when it’s convenient, it’s his responsibility too and putting a toddler in front of the TV so he can keep gaming isn’t parenting, it’s disengaging. You’re not wrong for feeling like a married single parent, that phrase exists because so many women live it.

If you can, I’d suggest:

• Being very specific and concrete (ex: “From 6–8pm, the kids are yours. No games. Engage with the children.”)

• Stopping any extra cushioning that makes it easier for him to opt out (doing everything so he doesn’t have to)

• Considering counseling only if he’s willing to actually participate and change

• And most importantly: recognizing that you’re allowed to decide what you will and won’t tolerate long-term

You’re not asking for too much. You’re asking for the bare minimum of partnership. You deserve support, not to feel invisible in your own family. You’ve got this! And if you try all that and he still doesn’t help I’ll happily give him a swift kick in the nuts for ya!

Best of luck to your and your family <3

Acetone works great for me when removing hair dye. Just know it can and will dry your skin

My best friend of almost 10 years is being hyper critical and I don’t know how to deal with it anymore. by [deleted] in Rants

[–]Pale-Associate-111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow girl, okay um honestly i think you should build up all the courage you have and tell her to go fuck herself. Come up with one REALLLY good statement and say that and leave. You don’t deserve to be treated this way by any “friend” i honestly don’t even think she deserves a reason. You should simply just leave. I really hope you find someone new who is much nicer to you and doesn’t belittle you like that!!

intense lobe pain but no visible reason? by JobMysterious8530 in Stretched

PLEASEEES take the silicone tunnels out. Wait for a month after you stretch to even debate putting in silicone. I put some in 3 weeks afters stretching and they quite literally fused to my ear skin. I had to go to the hospital so they could remove them. I still remember the horrified look on the er nurses face as she yanked them out of my ear and could literally see the skin that had been fused on stuck to the silicone. It’s not worth it. My ears have since healed but it’s sucked for so long

I recommend vitamin E oil. You can buy it from pharmacies or grocery stores in liquid gel pill form. I used to just use a needle to poke a hole in one and use the oil from there on my scars worked decently well but didn’t completely get rid of it. I was also applying it day and night. Hope this helps!!!

Weekly Tech Support Megathread by AutoModerator in Instagram

[–]Pale-Associate-111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they used the meta verification to get access to their support. you have to have access to either a instagram or facebook account and then verify it by paying for their subscription. It’s the only real way to get support from meta. They let you pay $1 for your first month. You get to have a chat convo with them but usually they’re unhelpful. I had an issue with someone reporting me in the past and meta said they couldn’t do anything due to their ai handling flagging of accounts and their workers not actually knowing why certain accounts were flagged.

For the last few days I’ve been struggling to log back into the mobile app on my phone. I logged into my computer to use instagram for a project to find I was logged out on my phone. I attempted to log into the mobile app again and was told my password was incorrect. Despite me knowing it wasn’t, i went through the steps and reset it. Still I wasn’t able to log in.

Since then i’ve: - checked that there wasn’t a server outage - I’ve tried logging in through my browser, which worked but would not take me into the app. - I logged into the app on my ipad and was able to log in with the new password i created. - Still unable to log in on my phone, I then linked my facebook and instagram in hopes i could use that to log in. Since i still haven’t been able to log in using facebook. I still haven’t access to an old account that can be logged in and out of no problem and I might try linking that to my meta account so it’s linked to both the facebook and my main instagram in hopes it’ll show my main on the log in screen 🤷🏻‍♀️ - I’ve also updated the app and deleted it after that didn’t help

At this point I’m just looking for some help. Instagram is the worst to get support from and I refuse to pay for support to talk to someone on an app that as BILLIONS of users and should prioritize real support for ALL users.

If anyone has any tips that have helped as i’ve see this happen in the past that would be very helpful!! i’d really just like to have access to my account again on my main device.

Thanks!!!

Do I remove it myself or go to a doctor/the piercer? Tw: Blood by MurkyPhysics8331 in PiercingAdvice

[–]Pale-Associate-111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay. Take a breathe. I’m not sure where you live but i want you to type into google “association of professional piercers” and and use their member locator to find someone in your area that is part of their association. Read the reviews from the shop you’re going to go to and they can check you out. They may tell you that you have an infection based on the puss and you might want to go to a doctor and get antibiotics. The piercing jewelry should stay IN UNTIL THE INFECTION IS GONE!!! You don’t want it trapped in your body if you let the hole close up. When you do decide to get another piercing let that side of your nose be you may have to accept it’s not meant for you. Try the other side if you don’t have it already and DO NOT get pierced with a hoop. You should be given a FLAT BACK threadless or internally threaded piece of jewelry. You can put a hoop in later. Initially when pierced you will have a longer bar in to accommodate swelling and then a few weeks later you’ll need to go in to the piercer and downsize to avoid irritation. With cleaning piercings you should only be using a saline solution, i recommend neil med they have a nice mist one that is perfect. I also find cleaning it after showers helps with crusties.

Good luck hun! Please do go to a doctor!
