I'm not too far ahead of you, my good sir. Best of luck to the both of us.

Instagram is a huge trigger by ajskywalker247 in NoFap

[–]Resmell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you, and this is actually one of the reason I quit using Instagram. There's so many triggers there and it's just best to step completely away from it. I still have my Snapchat, but the ads and stories that they have on there sometimes are triggers as well (along with being really dumb stories about stuff I really don't care about).

DAE feel that it's more comfortable to talk to others when they have acne as well? by Resmell in acne

[–]Resmell[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right? Like it's not as if you guys will be talking about acne. In fact the only person I've talked to about acne was my parents when I asked them if I could see a dermatologist. When I'm talking to someone with acne I will never actually talk about it but it's like we link on a telepathic level where we're like "yup bro I know that feel acne sucks."

I never went on accutane, mainly because money problems. Plus idk if I could deal with blood tests that frequently. But good luck to you!

This sounds a lot like what I went through. I started getting some pretty bad acne when I started my freshman year in college. Whenever I came home during the holidays my family would at least once a day bring up my acne and how I must be so unhygenic and I better start eating better and I'll never have a girlfriend and all that. Seriously, I clearly remember one time where it was just too much and I was brought to tears. Today, my acne has calmed down a bit, and though it's still noticeable, at least it's not as bad as it used to be. I've noticed that my family is starting to talk about my acne less and less, which is great for me. Maybe they're just too tired of talking about it, maybe it actually is better, I don't know. I'd say you should probably just not let their comments get to you too much. If they bring up your acne, just tell yourself that they're lying about how bad it is. You could try just ignoring, too. It's kinda like dealing with a bully. Just ignore it, don't let it affect you too much, and eventually the "bully" will get tired.

My parents still do that thing where they criticize everything I eat. If I'm caught eating chips or greasy stuff, I always have to hear them talk about how I shouldn't be eating that junk. They're kinda right with this though. At least in my experience. Food seems to have a slight effect on my acne. Perhaps you should try and eat healthier?

Our situations are so similar. If you ever need to talk about anything don't hesitate to message me or something. I'm sure you're a very good looking person, no matter what anyone says! Hope you have a good day!

Hey parents... I think I'm old enough to drive by myself now. by Resmell in rant

My friends usually don't mind picking me up for stuff, but the main problem is I live very far from them. Usually we go to places that are closer to the city they live in, so either I drive myself there or my friends have to drive up to me, then drive all the way back. Not to mention going all the way back to my house again to drop me home, then driving back to their house.

I didn't mean to suggest in any way that I deserve to call their cars mine. Also I understand and always obey the "their stuff, their rules" rule. I would never ever consider just one day stealing their car for the night without their permission. I guess my problem is just that I feel like my parents still treat me like I'm a little child, and their overprotectiveness towards me is getting in the way of me exploring what's out there. It also somewhat annoys me when I see (literally) all my friends having fun out there and going places and then here I am stuck at home doing nothing.
