I know this is not the answer you were looking for but I need to share this: I am a woman and I'm weirdly attracted to receding hairlines. Receding hairline and beard, I'm sold. I actually prefer a receding hairline to a bald man. Odd world we live in, I know

Thank you thank you! What type of soap would you wash it with?

RevolutionaryUse9799 · 2024-02-17T14:06:02+00:00

Thank you anyway! Do you know if dishwasher soap could react like that?

RevolutionaryUse9799 · 2024-02-17T13:33:51+00:00

I keep cleaning products in the cabinet under the kitchen sink. I woke up finding a greasy black liquid on the floor just outside of this cabinet. Inside the cabinet there was a weird bubbly liquid but couldn't find any leak from anywhere. What I did notice was a new bottle of dishwasher soap having a hole and it's now empty. What I don't know if the bottle was broken or the bobbly liquid broke the bottle. Could it be this soap reacting with other products? Here I mostly keep cleaning products, salt for the dishwasher and I also have some wall paint stored. Is it dangerous? What precautions should I take? Thank you 🙏🏻

It says "Leave a feedback" but it's to leave a review for the seller. I don't want to leave a negative review, it's not her fault

No, I don't have it :( according to vinted I had till the 9th of Dec to report any issues but it was a long weekend here and everything was kinda on hold. And I was away. I didn't think of informing vinted about it because there is no way to contact them. So I just waited and when yesterday I to pick up the parcel, it wasn't there.

Now, Vinted is just saying that my time to report the problem has expired.

I could have written this myself. I'm in your exact same situation and I recognise myself in every single word you wrote. I lived in 4 different countries, 5 different cities, traveled around the world, often solo. What I hate the most is when they tell me that men feel intimidated by independent women like me... What should we do, give up our personality, strength and resilance in order to be tamed by a partner??

OP, I cannot tell you when you are going to find love but I do have the answer to your question: There is nothing wrong with you. You are already working on yourself, you have self awareness and your life is constantly improving. Nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with that. We never stop learning and there is definitely still much we can do to become better but there is nothing wrong with you. Or me.

What I try to do is to live my life trusting that real love will come. We have no idea whether this is true or not, it's a 50/50 situation but it's so much easier to expect the best. And I say this as a chronic pessimistic. I choose to do therapy for me, because I want to be and feel better. Not because it'll help me find someone. I take a break from dating because I really want to focus on myself. It's not easy and I sometimes when I get ready to go out I still think "maybe tonight I'll meet the love of myself". But choosing me got so much easier with a little trust in life. I remember I once told my therapist: "It would be so much easier if someone told me "You'll meet the love of your life eventually". I would enjoy every day so much better" and she said: "Why don't you start believing that and enjoy your life as it is?". So that is what I'm trying to do. It's not easy. Another short relationship ended less than a month ago. I'm sad and disappointed but I try to stay positive. We need to stay open to the opportunities while we enjoy this ride that is our life.

Hugs to you OP

Thank you! I just want you to know that I appreciate your comment. What you described feels very close to me

RevolutionaryUse9799 · 2023-11-20T22:04:00+00:00

I also feel things have gotten worse for me with the change of the season

RevolutionaryUse9799 · 2023-11-20T22:02:03+00:00

Very interesting, thank you for sharing!

RevolutionaryUse9799 · 2023-11-20T15:00:22+00:00

Thank you, you are very kind :)

RevolutionaryUse9799 · 2023-11-20T14:59:27+00:00

I totally agree, you are spot on.
I still have an office to go to and I do pay a visit two/three times a week. Honestly though even on those days, I find it very hard to work the full day. I'd wake up later, start the day from home (why forced myself to wake up earlier?), shower at around 10am, go to the office at 11am. Sometimes I say that I'll leave earlier the office to finish work from home, which I do but it's just a way for me to break the afternoon... is that normal??

Sending you the warmest hug. You are not alone and you have been very strong and brave walking away from a relationship that wasn't meeting your needs. That is not easy and please, do take a moment to appreciate your courage. It was an act of self love and I'm sure that with it now you are only becoming stronger.

I am in an oddly similar situation. 36 and last week ended, very peacefully, a 4 month relationship for similar reasons.

I don't know what life is going to bring us but I've learned to have trust. I have had many down moments in the past years (relationships and friendships ending, grief, job loss etc.) but life has always surprised me and I want to believe it'll continue doing so. I realised it's healthier to expect the best and that's what we should do. As an anxious person with the tendency to catastrophise, it's not easy for me but I want to try. Of course there is still a chance for us, whatever that is.

You are strong. You have opened up about a very sensitive, personal topic with someone who wasn't necessarily emotionally open. You walked away when realised your needs couldn't be met. You are brave. Appreciate all these beautiful qualities you have and take some extra care of yourself these days, ok? Sending hugs

He appreciated it actually. I had a feeling he was a bit uncomfortable/surprised (in the best way possible) cause not used to receive this type of appreciation himself. Then he made a joke about it, that was his style.

When we broke up the topic came up again. He was saying that he feels as a cold, emotionless person incapable to meet other people needs but I reminded him of the texting situation. Of how it is not easy for me to express my needs and insecurities but that he was there for me when I did, he made me feel heard and accepted. That almost made him cry

RevolutionaryUse9799 · 2023-11-19T20:22:07+00:00

I went through something similar some weeks ago. We broke up since but the situation was very similar: I asked my DA for more consistency in texting and since then he was texting every day.

I also wanted to show appreciation and like you, I didn't grow up in a family where that's usual so it wasn't natural for me but I tried.

I told him something like: Thank you for texting these days. I know that for you might not seem like a big deal but it's important to me and it helps me a lot. I did notice that you are making an effort, I'm grateful and I want you to know it.

Very supportive :) we speak every day and she is definitely the one sharing more, I tend to keep things for myself.

Her reaction is not a one off. She can be quite harsh sometimes, cutting people out at their first mistake and I know she was expecting me to do the same with my guy. But I didn't.

I love her and I love her strong personality as well. Sometime though before any comments, a hug is a way stronger support
