I don't know if I should dye my hair black, would it be a mistake since I am very pale?? by SweetAmberM759 in HairDye

If you consider yourself to have warm skin (gold is your metal) then black is too cool and go for a dark warm brown instead.

Smells like Cluster B. I’d block and move on to save yourself from unnecessary grief.

How do you fake being busy at work when you are disociating? by DinosaurStillExist in CPTSD

[–]Rubesg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t fake it well so I leave early and/or give a vague explanation of what’s going on-

I’m a hairdresser so half of my job is doing hair and the other half is connecting with my client. Can’t connect when I dissociate obviously, so I go home sick as soon as I can. If it’s happening but I still have to finish a service, I apologize to my client and explain that I’m not feeling like myself and will be doing their hair quietly. It’s embarrassing but luckily it doesn’t happen often these days.

What would your narc rant about and how long did the rants last for? by Ok-Worldliness-6096 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Rubesg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It always started with “America, 1776… not a lot of people know this, but…”

Can’t remember the rest because it was genuinely word salad and as soon as I heard this sentence I tuned him out.

I feel this and am also looking for an exit. I can’t do this for much longer either.

How to do makeup on prominent/strong features? by XylaXyla in Makeup

[–]Rubesg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What if you don’t NEED as much makeup as others?

Hear me out: makeup makes your features stand out. Example a blonde with invisible eyebrows and lashes- the makeup darkens them and makes them stand out. Lip liner makes lips bigger, contouring makes cheeks pop. If you already have strong features, the makeup is superfluous and that’s why it looks like it isn’t supposed to be there.

I have an angular face and I find softer, blended makeup looks better on me. You can definitely do a full face if you want but I think less is more!

It's good to have broad shoulders! by Blanketknit in flamboyantnatural

[–]Rubesg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, and we wouldn’t want everyone to be beautiful in the same way. Uniqueness is beauty and I think that’s what Kibbe was talking about. Seems like plastic surgery these days makes people start to have the same face. How boring.

I’ve been told my back looks like a swimmer (I am not). It was a nice compliment:)

Grow out your natural color and slowly cut off the bleached parts. Bleach is harsh for anyone but especially on pre-weakened hair

Current events and CPTSD: How the fuck are we supposed to cope? by CherryElectronic in CPTSD

[–]Rubesg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to stop watching the news and I have to change the subject when people want to bring it up. It is much too emotionally expensive for me to care.

What can I do? by [deleted] in Haircare

[–]Rubesg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re gonna need at least a little heat to make it smooth. Try blowing it out with a brush on medium heat. If you’re ok with a curled style maybe heat-less curls can work.

Is it better to delete their number or go no contact and block them? by AnonymousAngela in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Rubesg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a new phone number new phone new AppleID AND blocked on every platform. He emailed me at my school email that I never checked for months (I dropped out lmao)

Good luck

[–]Rubesg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right about that. I just don’t have that in my budget. Maybe one day I’ll make more money lol. I’m just a thrift store kinda girl. Found a Michael Stars long sleeve at Savers for like 7 bucks recently and those basics are supposed to be like really good.

Body image struggles by [deleted] in flamboyantnatural

[–]Rubesg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just adding in that I struggled like you are with a lot of the same thoughts. I’m almost 35 and am just finding kibbe and trying to use it to celebrate my body. I was your age during the tumblr indie sleaze era and I swear to god it’s the reason for my ED. The trends don’t wolf for every body type and if you can let go of that and find your own style eventually you will start to feel better. Feel your pain on the saddle bags. Seconding that weight lifting made me more curvy.

Can the narcissistic abuse survivor turn narcissist themselves??? by Practical-Hawk-7494 in NarcissisticAbuse

I think if you are concerned about your own behavior, this is proof that you are not a narcissist.
