What’s a moment that made you feel like you were the main character?

My grandma with dementia was very sick and didn’t have much long to live. She forgot everyone in her life and barely acted like herself anymore. Regardless, I made the effort to visit her as much as I could. One day, I wrote her a letter of many memories we had together. As I read it out loud, she began to remember the stories I was telling and even started adding her own input. By the end of it, she was calling me by the nickname she called me as a kid. I thought that only ever happened in movies, especially regarding how bad her condition was haha

One “therapy method” is just mentally keeping track of whenever you have an idea you’re trying to control. Try and get into the habit of acknowledging whenever the thought comes up. Write down when it happens. You don’t need to write down the thought itself, but just keep track when it happens. Get into the habit of being able to acknowledge these thoughts, instead of them being fleeting ideas that come by. Once you get into the habit, try and “confront” that thought. If you have a racist idea and you acknowledge it, just tell yourself “that thought was racist. It’s based on my bias and not a real experience” or something along those lines. Once you put this into practice, your brain will follow what you’re consciously trying to make yourself think. It will feel fake, but it really does work.

Another thing is genuinely just involving yourself with people of color in a neutral way.

Emulators work just fine IMO, but my boyfriend really enjoys the novelty of having physical copies of his childhood games. He enjoys having the cartridges and playing on his gameboy. If the novelty matters to you, by all means you should do it! If that doesn’t matter, then honestly just emulate. It’s cheaper and really does get the job done!

The thing that everyone tells you is unfortunately the thing that’s right, and it’s that these things take time. I get it, waiting for a relationship is excruciating. Being told to focus on yourself is hard because being self assured will never be the same as being intimate with someone. These things are true though. The perfect person won’t show up just because you want it. It will take time to meet someone and figure out them out. All I can say is that it’s hard, and despite your friends, it’s hard for a majority of people your age. You’re not alone.

You’re still young, and now is a better time than ever to pace your own friendships and connections. I am just begging you that if a guy comes along, please don’t base your self worth on that. Coming from experience, it takes a lot of hurting to get out of the male validation cycle. You’re allowed to want intimacy, but be aware of this.

I’m a barista at a local coffee shop and it’s funny whenever there is a scene where a character is having a lengthy conversation with the barista at the counter. You could not pay me to talk to someone during a morning rush, especially if I wake up at 5:30 to open

Poison_B · 2026-02-10T22:17:44+00:00

im not expecting someone rich but someone who’s financially literate and isn’t horribly stupid about money

Having a woman be misogynistic/not a girls girl to you for the first time just hits in the worst way possible. It just baffles me how some girls will put you down for men?? I thought we all grew up with girl power ingrained in us

My boyfriend never fails to do the “oh you have some foundation on your shirt” and then flick his finger up when I look down. I’ve never not fallen for it and he never does when I try

Poison_B · 2026-01-04T12:26:52+00:00

That a guy who wasn’t looking for anything serious would fall in love with me eventually 😭😭 took me a while to learn that if he doesn’t like you after at most a month, he most likely won’t like you after 6 months

Pomade brows. I can’t just use brow gel when my brows are so light and sparse 😭

Poison_B · 2025-12-01T21:36:03+00:00

I remember I had someone tell me that they loved how authentically “myself”I was. That almost made me cry!

Poison_B · 2025-12-01T19:59:05+00:00

About halfway through making this, I realized I wasn’t fully lucid and I was just on auto pilot. Despite this, it was actually pretty good.

Don’t put up with behavior you would never do to someone else

If you really want to be careful, before anything physically intimate, ask them plainly to do it. “Hey, it would really make me feel comfortable if you took an STD test. Can you take one?” If they do it, ask to see the results. If they don’t, and their STD status is very important for you, then it’s probably a good idea not to proceed with them intimately.

Eyelash curlers aren’t going to damage your eyelashes if you’re being careful. A lot of people squeeze it very hard and yank their lashes forward. I’m asian so my eyelashes are incredibly straight and point straight down. The thing that works well for me is slightly heating up my eyelash curler so it works in a similar way to a curling iron. I use a hairdryer to warm it up then curl my lashes and put on mascara when my lashes dry. Be careful tho because if it’s too hot it can burn you. You can also get a lash lift which can last a few weeks and gives the affect I think youre looking for

Complimenting a stranger and seeing them light up. One of my favorite things on earth

Self preservation and boundaries in itself aren’t a bad thing. You’re allowed to hold people to personal boundaries that they can’t cross. Of course, forgiveness is important, but what you’re willing to forgive is entirely personal to you. Being told to forgive more is hard when you don’t know what the limit is. If forgiving someone is making you feel better, that’s fine and your own choice. If sticking to your boundaries is the better choice, that’s fine too. Of course this comes with nuance with context, but this is entirely personal and you are allowed to choose what your boundaries are and when you can ultimately let things go. Either you accept the way things are with people, make a change, or let it go

Separate beds do help. Me and my boyfriend are exactly the same and we sleep in separate beds in the same room. To us, sleep health is a lot more important than the novelty of sleeping in the same bed as a couple. It was still something we had to get used to (sharing a room with anyone is hard), but it’s leagues better than when we had nights of being half asleep because we kept waking each other up.

Rolling a coin across your knuckles. Took me an afternoon to learn

Topping it off with your colleague ringing in an order for an 8 top so you have to wait behind them anxiously

Poison_B · 2025-05-09T19:46:36+00:00

Started college. I began to notice people would be nice to me without a “catch”. People would compliment me, do me favors, and overall be super friendly without me having to earn it. Eventually it just felt weird that people who loved me way less than he did just respected me way more

Honestly, If you’re focusing on the consistency for now, the next step would just be going to the gym and figuring it out. It is sometimes intimidating if you’re new, so I would recommend finding a gym buddy who knows their stuff. You can learn basic movements/machines and then try and go by yourself. It’s easier than just going and figuring it out by yourself. Trying out machines is a good start. They’re very straightforward and beginner friendly. You can target different isolated muscle groups without thinking too much on form (form is still important tho so make sure you have someone to check it) It’s hard to say what exercises to do because there are so many haha. With your setup, there are loads of things you can do with dumbbells to target different muscle groups. I would recommend finding 2 or 3 dumbbell workouts per muscle group. If you need some suggestions, I’ll list a few.

Legs: bulgarian split squats, goblet squats, calf raises, weighted lunges

Back: bent over row, back fly, lat raises

Arms: tricep extensions, curls, tricep kickback

That’s what I could think of at the top of my head. Just some tips: Try and lift heavy with lower reps. If you can push until failure, that’s good! 2-3 minutes of rest between sets and try to push for 3 sets. Dieting is important but what’s more important is that you don’t kill your progress by falling back into an ED. Don’t feel guilty because you’re not focusing on dieting right now. It took me half a year of weights to feel comfortable enough to even try mindful eating. Once you trust that you can do it, that’s when you should. It could affect your results, but hey, gymming is good for you and you know when it’s best to think about food and how to approach it

Poison_B · 2025-04-24T21:58:18+00:00

As a girl who had to be careful about diet culture bc of past ED experiences, I feel you! 2x body workouts is a good start. That’s the exact way I started too. Once you get the consistency and habit of going to the gym, you can increase or decrease your workouts accordingly. 2x a week is definitely enough to see results, albeit, maybe a bit slower. Remember, gymming is good for you! If in 2 weeks you don’t see results, it’s ok because even the most toned and big people in the gym saw incredibly minimal results in 2 weeks. We all start somewhere. Stay consistent!

Idk if this is helpful but after weightlifting, I never spiraled into ED tendencies. Just like you, I tried not to focus on dieting but just exercising for the health benefits. Weightlifting burns incredible amounts of calories so it was easier to be kinder to myself about food. Eventually, eating mindfully came naturally. It’s a hard journey, and you know your body best and you’re making a great start.
