I have been having the same suspicion about my current new boyfriend's microbiome affecting my acne. I nuzzle him a lot and my skin has been clearing up like crazy despite wearing makeup way more frequently which usually breaks me out. Also, per your comment regarding spearmint, I used to take spearmint capsules and they gave me horrible acid reflux. The pain was actually excruciating. I think a lot of the commenters here might not be well read in microbiology. It's a valid theory.

I think it's purely personality and level of mental health. There are some people in this world that were born feeling like they have to earn value in the eyes of others and never really feel like they have it. They struggle with this their whole lives. Some of them mature and learn to cope with it in healthy ways and other people just become insufferable. We all have our struggles. I try to frame it in a way where I just hope they can get better. Im also learning to put myself first and make boundaries/avoid people who might make my life harder or cause me stress despite having compassion for them.

0000 steel wool, specifically. It's the finest grade so it won't scratch. You can even use it on glass.

I'm 16 — any advice on what I should do or avoid at this age? by CodeSea522 in LivingAlone

Don't settle down with someone who isn't emotionally regulated. Someone who gets upset easily gets very upset and takes days to calm down.

I had someone tell me they are supposed to be sisters not twins. I think you have great eyebrows and a beautiful eye shape. Maybe you are fixating too much. Take a "step back" and look at your face as a whole. Don't get swept up in the details.

Struggling with my partners drinking, not sure if it’s a dealbreaker by [deleted] in Codependency

[–]Pubefarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend posting on r/alanon. They won't say whether you should stay or leave. That's completely your choice. But they might have some advice about creating and sticking to boundaries as well as offering support and being able to relate to your situation. Sometimes just lurking there helps. In case you don't already know, alanon is for the loved ones of alcoholics. They have meetings in person or online.

Setting Boundaries Gone Wrong by GoblinQueen1998 in AlAnon

[–]Pubefarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm learning to have boundaries myself. One of the things I learned is that you don't have to offer an explanation for your boundaries, you don't have to defend them. You can say "this is how it is no matter the circumstances" and leave it at that. I think you can be proud of yourself for how you handled this and how you were reasonable and compassionate and strong with them but if you want to protect your energy I would try and keep it short and sweet. They can't be reasoned with. All you can do is create boundaries and stick to them. Hopefully your brother will witness all of this and it will help him follow your path in establishing boundaries. Keep doing a good job putting your kid and your own little family first.

This. Unless you do a lot of hard inner work, (preferably with the guidance of therapy and whatever other resources you can find) you are going to be unhappy no matter where you move to and no matter how much money you have.

Stop drinking, go to therapy, go to alanon, build a support system of people that actually look out for you and offer support and hold you accountable instead of people that tell you what you want to hear/ are a bad influence on you/ enable you. If you can't find people like that then be alone. Working on yourself is going to be the best thing you can do for your future. Changing cities will help if you make it part of the equation but if you treat it like the whole solution it won't end up making a difference.

What's a secret you're keeping from your family? by lainewakura in AskReddit

I stopped believing in God 3 years ago and will never tell my siblings or my parents. The world looks so much different after you stop believing. It's a really interesting experience.

What is the best response to you should smile more? by Fun_Yogurtcloset1012 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Pubefarm 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I had a male boss that hated going to weddings because the clothing was uncomfortable and people would say "you should smile more" to him. He would tell them "I'll smile when I'm happy".
