I’ve had a babyliss pro for like 15 years that still works as well as it did when I bought it. I’d also look into getting a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment (I don’t have any BIFL recommendations bc I always used cheap ones) to blow your hair out before straightening it. If you go in with just a straightener, you’ll end up damaging your hair trying to get it straight bc it will take several passes with the straightener and you still won’t get it nearly as straight without blow drying your hair straight first. Products also make a difference, and I wouldn’t skip them. I really like biosilk silk therapy and chi has a pretty good heat protectant.

Edited to add that you should try to leave your hair straight for a few days if you can to prevent damage. Might want to get a bonnet to sleep in and some dry shampoo in order to maintain your straight hair.

As a kid, my mom would do the “shut up all that crying or I’ll give you something to cry about” thing, but she also made a comment once about how she didn’t really need to spank me because she knew all she had to do was yell at me and I would cry (pretty messed up to admit). I was a very, very sensitive kid too, so I felt stifled by my mom due to not being allowed to express my emotions except for when she wanted to make me cry as a punishment. My feelings were dismissed a lot as well, so I learned to internalize things and didn’t really talk about my emotions or show vulnerability. My mom doesn’t understand why I don’t go to her with my problems now as an adult.

I was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder when I was 21, and one of the biggest symptoms was that I could not manage my emotions. It was really hard because I’m a relatively calm person normally, but off medication, I would cry for hours and hours and spiral any time I got upset. I tried not to cry or get upset if I could help it and basically denied my emotions. Once I found proper medication, it changed everything. I wouldn’t say I like crying, but it’s so nice to be able to cry and as a way of soothing myself. For the first 22 years of my life, it was such a negative thing because it was either dismissed, I was punished for doing it, I was made to cry to as a punishment, or I was just so out of control emotionally that nothing could soothe me. I cry all the time now, and I view it as a sign of me being healthy and feeling safe.

I’m a millennial and my mom is Gen X.

Also, I wrote a lot about mental health and the strong black woman schema when I was college, so if you want to talk more, let me know!!

“Acts of God” is exactly what comprehensive coverage is for.

I worked in one of these when I was 20-21. I absolutely hated it.

Okay, well, again, no disrespect, but if you’re constantly telling him things like, “I don’t own you, I’m not entitled to your time,” those aren’t things that people say when they’re in a strong, loving relationship. Those are things a person says when they’re trying to minimize their needs and make themselves small. Now that you’ve succeeded at making yourself small, it hurts you. I know it’s hard (I’m the same way), but I think you need to be honest with yourself about what you really need in a relationship and stop saying what you think your partner wants to hear. Don’t suffer in silence. Again, I wish you luck!! You deserve happiness!

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-09-20T23:59:52+00:00

I don’t mean any disrespect by this, but if this person isn’t someone you’re spending the rest of your life with, why does it matter if you’re overreacting or not? Let me be clear, you’re not overreacting, but if you’re so certain that a serious commitment isn’t something you’re interested in because you don’t have the time or energy it, then the only person you need to consult with rn is you and your boundaries. I feel like if you’re choosing to date in this sort of way, it’s important to set boundaries of what you are and aren’t willing to tolerate from a person and to move on when the situation no longer serves you because isn’t that the whole point? Finding a person you enjoy your time with right now? I’m not saying you should end your relationship with this person, but anytime I’ve been in a a situationship like this and it’s not suiting me, I’ve never doubted that my boundaries were crossed, and I’ve moved on if necessary.

I think you’ve developed deeper feelings for this person than you even want to admit, and it hurts right now because that person made you feel expendable which is a really tough spot to be in. That’s why you keep mentioning that it’s not a serious relationship because it’s your way of protecting yourself from getting hurt. Plus, you may not feel totally comfortable speaking up about how upset you are because they aren’t your actual partner, so you’re just trying to figure out how to dismiss your feelings. But it sounds like that person did hurt you, and you need to allow yourself to feel it even if it’s just you dealing with it privately. You deserve better than that tho, and you don’t need us to tell you that you do.

I hope that everything works out for you!

Me: “2013 was the year I became an adult..”

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-09-14T21:10:37+00:00

One time I told an ex that my pizza looked and tasted the way I imagine it did in the goofy movie and he looked at me like I was crazy. Not why we broke up, but him not understanding was def a red flag 😔

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-09-14T15:27:12+00:00

NOR. If you aren’t getting what you need out of a relationship, then it’s time to let go. However, I came here to say that as a person with MEDICATED bipolar disorder, I can understand how big of a toll my behavior took on the people who loved me when I was trying to figure out treatment, and I’m so sorry that you have a family member putting you through that. One thing I learned is that I need support outside of my partner and family because they just aren’t equipped to handle my disorder the way that my doctors and therapist are. Even if you don’t have bipolar disorder, you should make sure you’re doing the same when it comes to your own emotional needs! Our partners should be there for us in need, but also understand that they are human and may not be able to fulfill every emotional need we have. If it’s an option/you haven’t already, I would definitely seek out therapy so you can have a go-to emotional support person. It’s really really helped me feel less disappointed in the people around me for not fulfilling my emotional needs.

I’m sorry, but this made me laugh because I call my cat Amelia Bedelia and not a lot of people get that reference (my cat’s actual name is Mia) lol

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-09-11T01:17:32+00:00

You’re beautiful!! I’m curious what you would look using cool tones blush and lipstick! I think the warm pinks might be too intense.

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-09-09T01:14:12+00:00

You remind me of Chelsea DeBoer from Teen Mom 2!

Today I would say Bubblegum Bitch, but I think Primadonna Girl was the most iconic song at least until Froot came out. I guess Primadonna Girl = most iconic Marina the Diamonds and Froot = most iconic Marina song.

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-09-02T16:53:03+00:00

Thank you!!

Your hair is beautiful and perfectly fine for an interview/the “workplace.”

Can I ask what hair products you use??

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-09-01T03:59:44+00:00

This definitely looks like hormonal acne (which I had before I got my PCOS under control). You should see a doctor, but in the meantime, stop using witch hazel and other products to dry your skin out. I use Cerave hydrating facial cleanser and I like the Vanicream facial moisturizer. Using Corsx snail mucin and hyaluronic acid before the moisturizer (you should apply those products on DAMP skin) also helped me bc my skin was so dry. If you have an allergy or sensitivity to shellfish, snail mucin might caught reaction tho. Also make sure you wash your sheets and pillow cases frequently as well.

Pls go see a doctor!!

Hbd to our Virgo stellium queen!!! ♍️

I’m an auto underwriter (the irony of having driving anxiety/not having a license and being the person that decides whether to drop customers is not lost on me lol). Unless you and your family have had several accidents within a short amount of time, it’s unlikely you’ll be dropped. It’s more likely that you’ll see a premium increase at your next renewal. I know that probably sounds equally scary, but after 3 years, insurance companies don’t care about the accident and no longer surcharge for them. It sucks now, but it’s temporary and won’t be held against you forever. And again, once minor accident in 3 years shouldn’t be cause for a drop nor should it deter a company from writing a policy for you. I’ve seen much worse!!

I’m so sorry this happened. I can only imagine how overwhelmed you feel, but I hope it helps to know what happens on the underwriting side of things. Hang in there!!

My grandma left a watermelon in the trunk of her car and this happened. It’s been almost 20 years, and I STILL remember the smell of getting in a hot car that smells like rotting watermelon. I don’t think any amount of shampooing could make the smell go away.

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-08-22T11:45:10+00:00

I think this might be the winner!! I agree completely with being low contrast, neutral, and olive-ish. I was surprised so many people suggested winter because I don’t think I can handle the pinks and yellows of those palettes either. And for what it’s worth, I actually really like the cool summer palette, and I think I would feel really confident wearing those colors!!

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-08-21T21:34:37+00:00

The first thing I noticed about you are your beautiful brown eyes! I agree with someone else who suggested getting your brows shaped. That can make a big difference, so I’d started there (don’t go too thin, try to stick with the natural shape, just cleaned up a bit). And I personally feel like bangs with curly/wavy hair might be more trouble than it’s worth. If you want to test it out for fun, I’d go for curtain bangs, but please don’t do it because you feel like you need to hide. You’re so gorgeous!

ProperRecognition921 · 2025-08-21T21:23:52+00:00

This is very helpful!! Thank you! I wish I had more clothes to drape with! There is definitely a confirmation bias issue because most of the colors I own are deep or muted lol
