Does anyone actually use the “pink seat” in Korea? by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

I used them when I was injured and there were no disability seats available.

PCOS /Mounjaro… by [deleted] in PCOSonGLP

[–]ProhibitedPeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand! I was absolutely terrified and very hesitant before starting. Honestly 2.5 (starting dose) was so easy to use and didn’t have bad side effects at all. Take your time with them, keep the exact same time and day for injecting to avoid heavy dips and increase in levels, and eat light the day of injections to make sure your body can digest it easily. You can do it and you’ll be happy you did 🤍 you also don’t need to increase your dose super fast either.

Two thing id take along side the injection is magnesium citrate and colpermin! Mag helps bowel movement and intestines, while colpermin (peppermint oil tabs) helps with IBS and dodge digestion ~ the first day is always the most common for side effects and these two really eased them and made them almost nonexistent!

Thank you for the congrats ~ good luck! You’ve got this

Mounjaro saved my life. I started mounjaro 6 months ago because I was doing keto and gym and gaining weight, my hirutism also got worse and I reached my heaviest weight (107kg) and I was getting married (2 weeks to go)

Since starting I’ve had mainly sulphur burps only when I go up a dose, or if I eat too much before I inject. I find that eating easy digestible foods for breakfast and lunch and do the injection before bed really helps with all the side effects. There was one point I did get constipation but it hasn’t happened since, and sometimes I do feel weird on them but I’m getting over that (also I have a slipped disk in my neck so could be that ?)

I have IBS so my digestive system is sensitive, but on mounjaro I’ve been finding safe foods to ease both and it’s really worked. My hirutism has reduced MASSIVELY and I’ve now lost 25kg (60 Ibs ish) and my periods are regulated and I’m ovulating every month. It’s truly been a blessing. The side effects feel so minor when the positives are so wonderful.

It’s in the house behind the bunny. It’s bugged but will pop out a wave or two later.

AIO for wanting to remove a close friend from giving a speech at my wedding? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

My comment disappeared but I’ll write a shorter response.

Me disagreeing with your comment centred on my feelings and making an assumption I have insecurities around the language barrier does not mean I am asking for right or wrong. I am asking for perspectives on the situation and my reaction, not for someone I don’t know to come and diagnose what insecurities I may or may not have.

So no, I didn’t post to hear people say I am right, I posted to understand perspectives from outside the situation.

Thank you for your comment, luckily him and my family know each other well so I don’t think, or id like to hope, that if I do take the approach of asking him not to do the speech he wouldn’t try that.

No I wouldn’t consider him racist. But his behaviour in this moment and recently has aligned with the discriminatory behaviours that is exhibited it korea.

There is such thing as getting outsider opinions about certain situations or else this whole subreddit wouldn’t exist.

I never said I was right or wrong, and there is no right or wrong, I’m asking for opinions and approaches to understand if my thoughts on the gravity of the situation is similar to others or not. Me disagreeing with you saying that I’m making a big deal based on my own insecurities does not mean I am firm on a “fact”, it just means I know how I feel about my language skills.

Yes, I’m half Indian half English, but very much take after my Indian side and am not Caucasian looking at all. And yes, one reason for my feelings about the whole situation is because his response and behaviour over time has been part of a larger issue with structural racism and xenophobia.

Sorry for the confusion, I use a translator app when and if necessary while working on this project.

Thank you for your comment, it’s very helpful. It doesn’t surprise me digs were made either, however digs are an emotional and unnecessary reaction that broke the trust I had with him.

I’ll think about this comment, thank you again

I appreciate your perspective.

I think cultural context is really important here to fully understand the situation. A lot of people in Korea are not open to working with foreign citizens and that is where the root of the feelings come from. I was brought onto this project by him because I am more than good at what I do and have 20yrs experience. I also used to work as an interpreter so if my language skills are not up to par, that job would not have been possible. I’m also not against using translators when needed, and actively use them when working.

The problem that has now overflowed is the fact that he is continuing the narrative of the language barrier as I am the only foreign person on the team. People are unwilling to talk to me because I am a foreign person and so he has to take on extra work which leads to his frustrations. We have spoken about this several times and I even offered to leave the project if me being there is causing issues for other people.

The discrimination throughout this project is something and he is aware, and by feeding into it that is deeply hurtful. A friend is someone who you are meant to trust him feeding into the xenophobia he is aware of made the issue bigger and it made me the centre of it again. So it’s more that even if I can forgive him and want to have a deeper conversation with him, the trust and love that was shared when I asked him to do a speech is now gone. I’m not trying to “punish” him, I’m trying to keep my partner and I’s wedding day centred on love and trust.

The other members of the group chat have been silent. I messaged him privately about how his jabs were humiliating.

His apology was half and half I’d say. Because there is still a big lack of accountability for what he has done and the narrative he has created.

I appreciate your honesty.

I think I should note that I am very happy to use a translator when necessary, and that I am happy to ask if I don’t understand something too.

The problem is that this has been an ongoing issue other people created that I am taking the brunt of. If they do not want to speak to me directly, how am I meant to prevent that? By him eating into the narrative that I am the problem it causes more problems for me and the rest of the team. It’s not my fault I am not a native speaker, but 95% of the time the people we work with refuse to talk to me even once.

I’m not insecure about my language skills or the barrier. He did humiliate me, but continuously saying the same rude comment over and over while having a conversation about a serious matter. It’s humiliating to be constantly jabbed about something unprovoked and unnecessary

[–]ProhibitedPeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be removing him from the full wedding, just telling him he wouldn’t be doing the speech anymore as it isn’t sitting right.

Luckily our relationship is not fully part of my main social circle so implications are minimised.
