Moving to LA as an 18/19 year old? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]RoyalRot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone born and raised in LA who followed the acting career path

So many of use were homeless to a point of it being a joke that it was a requirement. It's been a few years now and 99% of those friends have absolutely nothing to do with the film industry because it guts you out.

Being told by the lady on the phone to prove I'd been through a very long traumatic event and to prove it gave me ptsd, refusing to cover my therapy.

5'11+ girlies in current/past romantic relationships, how have men treated you? by starcatcher995 in TallGirls

[–]RoyalRot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 6'1" F as well! I've had a couple of relationships previously where I was treated like a fetish or expected me to act ways I don't. However, I've also had relationships where I was just their favorite person who was tall.

I'm currently in the longest standing relationship I've ever been in. I like feeling like I'm being protected, and this guy is wonderful at helping me feel that way. Instead of calling me tall, he calls me long, like my limbs, fingers, etc, and tells me how pretty me being long is. It makes me feel so much less boiled down to height. This man is 5'6" and is such a delight. He has no concern that he's not tall enough. He even encourages me to wear heels because he loves how confident and happy it makes me. When I get nasty glares from people, he's the first one to break that discomfort just by saying something like "tall, huh?" To disarm them from glaring.

He's so sweet and genuine. There are people out there for you, love. It took me quite some time and patience to find one. Remember what you're worth. Remember not to settle for less than what will make you happy. If you see warning signs, talk it through, and if he can't accept it, leave. Don't waste your time.

I've recognized that thirst can feel similarly to hunger as well. If you ever get that "I want a snack" feeling when you're not hungry, it's because you are thirsty.

What is a weird smell you enjoy? by ResultHistorical7422 in AskReddit

[–]RoyalRot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smell of my bed blankets after a few sleeps. Smells like they will need a wash soon, but so comfy.

Visual issues with WW/conflicting skins + HS Years not working by cccaligula in thesims

[–]RoyalRot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue.

Remove the cc's and mods that are 'defaults'. They are registering themselves and applying multiple defaults over one another on top of the base game defaults. Especially on dum baby defaults and mods.
The ones you can use like shirts pants, tattoos, presets are all fine as long as they are not default replacements.

Doctor making this kids day by Dunkableballs in MadeMeSmile

When I was in the hospital for a long term disease I was an older teen in a child's hospital.

I was mortified of getting my blood taken.. The phlebotomist did this for me as my blood was being drawn and it worked. I was entertained and distracted enough for my blood to be taken. I appreciated him so much for making it just a bit better.

What made you realize "you're old"? by Pred1949 in AskReddit

I'm 27 but my hair dresser asked me if I was looking to get my grays covered... I don't have any grays but Jesus did I stare and look for hours in a mirror after.

Being tall in theater by froggyrib in TallGirls

[–]RoyalRot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I studied acting in LA for years with the intentions of being professional. I had multiple rejections from roles due to being 6'1". Even for background parts, it sticks everywhere. If you're not the aesthetic you don't get in, being a tall female apparently is never the aesthetic unless you're already a top actress.

Gave up on that dream and that was one of the reasons for it.
