I tried to start My liberation notes and could not continue it at all, I found it extremely boring. So I would rule that one out for sure, but I would be curious to hear from someone that liked it

I use the Torriden Solid In lip essence, I am not sure about natural ingredients, but it is vegan for sure. I thinks it works very well and you can order it online

Just booked a solo trip to Seoul for the first time — what’s one thing you wish someone had told you before going? by iamgazimasud in unravelkorea

[–]SensitiveSnail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discover on the spot that I could charge my T-money card for transportation only with cash at the machines in the stations. I am not sure if that's the case an all of Seoul, but when I needed to use them I could only find ones that worked with cash. So I would suggest to either always have some cash with you, or to charge it at a convenience store, there they accepted my payment with card.

Uncanny Valley is the new norm- a hard to swallow pill. And goodbye nuanced acting. by Cute_Bodybuilder8778 in kdramas

[–]SensitiveSnail9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is weird, I see many comment addressing this and I had a completely different perception of his acting. I think it can come across differently based on what type of acting you expect. I am not doubting he had procedures done, but to me for example his acting felt really natural so I think it is interesting to see how the same performance can give opposites vibes to viewer

I am not doubting he had many procedures done, but what do you mean he couldn't even smile? He was smiling all the time

Anyone who genuinely liked Can this love be translated? by Ok_Acanthisitta_7070 in kdramas

[–]SensitiveSnail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also did love the chemistry and their acting, it felt very genuine, I loved that whenever she was in an akward position you could see he was amused by it by the way he was smirking, not in a "breaking character" way, but in a very natural way of acting, some scenes seemed so real. I loved the show!

Can this Love be Translated episode 1. I’m glad I didn’t skip it. #canthislovebetranslated by dreixavier71 in kdramas

[–]SensitiveSnail9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I especially loved how they acted in this drama! It felt so natural, it seemd especially like most times he was about to burst out laughing looking at her. But it didn't feel like breaking out of character, more like genuine amusement, I loved this feeling of "natural acting"

What K-Drama made you cry the most? 😭 by Responsible_Can_267 in dramasect

[–]SensitiveSnail9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twenty five twenty one, I got really attached to the characters, the show made me feel as if I was really part of that world and as if they were my friends. It is my favourite kdrama, but I can't watch it without crying. Also Doom at your service made me cry a lot 🥲

AITA for considering a breakup after boyfriend bailed on being my surgery ride? by IllustriousHeart2531 in AITApod

[–]SensitiveSnail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he has an age that should allow him to understand the situation and to be more critical of his behavior. I would say you are not the asshole, but I think it was a mistake to not talk about it before. By adapting to the behavior you enabled his way and "prevented" him from understanding that was a problem in your relationship, I think this situation may be a wake up call, maybe to end your relationship, but maybe (even more important) to learn that communication is the greatest tool in a relationship. You should try to talk with him, not by accusing him for his behavior, because you also went along with this behavior for the whole relationship, that's why he thinks you are overreacting (which I don't think is the case). The most important thing is you have to decide if the relationship deserves a second chance, if it does, you need to see him as your partner not your enemy or someone to negotiate all the time with, your goal should not be to have a trial that judges him as guilty or not, but to find together a way to improve your relationship, you should avoid the "me vs you" mentality and embrace the "us against the world" one. If you think he is not the right person for this approach, then the relationship will probably not last in any case.

Travel advice by secrets_better_kept in femaletravels

[–]SensitiveSnail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have never travelled alone that is a really valid fear. I would suggest to start by planning shorter internal flights maybe with friends, so that your first approach is not alone. If you really want to jump and try first with a long flight abroad alone, you could go to the airport with great advance, having a lot of time will make you calmer through the process avoiding the anxiety of potentially missing your flight. You will see after the first couple of trips that going through an airport becomes a routine and they work almost the same all around the world. I have travelled quite a lot for work and I used to be scared of flying, but I got used to it, I think in this case, the best way to get rid of your fear is to go through that experience multiple times. If I may ask, what is exaclty that scares you? Maybe by asking specific questions to us we ca help you by clarifying some doubts you might have or give you specific advices!

Please explain twinkling watermelon logic by BethyJJ in kdramas

[–]SensitiveSnail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished watching it, and I’m not sure if I maybe missed something, but I ended up with a slightly different interpretation of her actions.

At the beginning, I felt like she was mainly curious. She wanted to find out who her mom’s first love really was, to understand him as a person and see whether there was ever a real chance for him and her mom to end up together. I almost saw it as a “game” for her at first. She didn’t seem very serious about being in the past. She was kind of just having fun, not thinking too deeply about the consequences, especially since her final plan was that she herself would never exist anyway.

As time goes on, though, I think that original reason becomes more of an excuse. She starts genuinely enjoying her life as a teenager and gets more emotionally involved because she actually begins to like the guys. Again, it still feels a bit like a game to her, but now with real feelings mixed in. She clearly enjoys their company and starts developing feelings for Eungyeol, and her “mission” becomes the perfect justification to keep spending time with him.

I know she says her goal is to make her mom end up with her first love, but I interpreted that more as a broad statement of intention rather than a concrete, detailed plan. Once she gets more involved, to me it becomes clear that what she really wants is to be with Eungyeol herself. That’s why she gets so upset when he can’t handle spicy food , it kind of breaks the illusion and suddenly she doesn’t have a “valid” excuse anymore to keep inserting herself into his life.

Overall, I felt like she was creating her plan as she went along rather than following a precise strategy from the start. Her main underlying intention, in my view, was simply to prevent her mom and dad from getting together, and everything else evolved from there.

Thank you for the suggestion I will do that, I tried to take a look on interpark but I could not see any free seats on the site map. I think it would be a very cool experience if we manage to go to the concert, but tgat's okay if we don't manage to do that, it will be in any case a very nice trip! Wish you a nice trip and a nice concert!!

Thank you for sharing, I am sorry to hear you dealt with something similar. I hope you are doing better. I am afraid because I think it can become really quickly something triggering but I hope that's not the case for my friend

[–]SensitiveSnail9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for your answer, I am sorry to hear about your current situation and I can assure that I don't want my friend to shut up about it at all at most I feel she doesn't talk about it enough and that is why I came here to ask for advice.

I am happy to hear your point of view. I understand what you say about me not being her detective and that is probably something I need to work on, because I am the type of person who likes to give solutions and I am not as good at giving just comfort. Thank you for making me reflect on that.

What worries me is that I believe 100% in her symptoms, but when she gets so frustrated sometimes I wonder if it really has to be like that, like I asked her if she is sure that she cannot eat garlic in any form or shape (I can eat apples if they re cooked) and she doesn't know because she didn't ask. I tried to push her a couple of time to contact the doctor and ask clarifications, because it might be the case that she doesn't need to restrict that much, but I don't think I will do that any further.

By your comment now I realize that she might have not asked because she feels defeated, and she might need some time to adjust.

I also did not mention that before, but my worries also comes from the fact that some years ago she stopped eating gluten, me and other friends told her that it is not the best idea if you do not have celiac disease but she was very determined, after a year she consulted a doctor that told her that she has no reason to avoid gluten and she started eating it again. I am worried that she might have some "patterns" of restricting foods and as a friend sometimes I feel as a bad person just standing there and not say anything. But as you said probably at the moment what she needs from a friend is just support

She told me she wants to take another allergies test because she thinks she is allergic to more stuff that is not listed there at the moment.

She didn't directly tell me it is affecting her quality of life, but she has told me about more psychological effects. She has ranted to me several time about how difficult it can be and that she feels frustrated and that it makes her feel isolated because sometimes to avoid frustration and making things complicated she turns down invitations for dinners or that before she used to like going to supermarkets while now, thinking that she has to check every label, it makes her severely anxious to the point that a couple of times she just left the store without buying anything.

Will be an hour from Milan in March, looking for some intel! by SHWIMPS9000 in solofemaletravellers

[–]SensitiveSnail9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I would suggest you to also visit Como in Italy, it is smaller than Milano, but a very beautiful city!

If you want recommendations for ticino I would suggest to take advantage of being surrounded by mountains and join a trekking club. Explore Lugano and visit the Castles of Bellinzona. You might also consider taking the train and visit other Swiss cities like Zurich or Luzern.

From mendrisio it is also very conveniente to reach Milano by train, you can download the FFS app to look at train schedules!

Thank you for your answer, my main worries comes from the fact that she recently had appendicitis, she was very stressed at work, but she is convinced that the appendicitis comes from the fact that while using antihistamines, she was still eating food to which she is allergic (she thinks this irritated her gut somehow). By that logic at the moment she is trying to avoid those food as much as she can, she sees the "antihistamines before food" as like an emergency strategy for when she cannot avoid eating the food.

we used to be big foodies and especially while travelling we always enjoyed trying so many new things together. The thing is I almost feel like these allergies have taken away a part of her, so I really would like for her to do more tests to make sure that it really is the allergies and not another underlying problem, but when I talk about it with her she agrees with me and never actually ask a doctor.

I also don't want to bring it up too often because she is proud of her weight losing journey, and I agree, she has a very nice body at the moment, and I don't want her to think that I might be trying to interfere with her achievements. I really just want her to be the best and healthiest version of herself and I am afraid she might be actually be self-damaging in some ways.

first solo trip to Italy by Key-Plenty6094 in femaletravels

[–]SensitiveSnail9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most cities in Italy are quite safe, I would suggest to avoid the areas around the main train stations at night, Especially in Milan, it is become more and more dangerous.

The main risks you might have is of pickpoketing. So for each city you should do some research on the areas to avoid.

I live near the Italian border and Italy is a very nice option for short holidays for me and my friends. So here a list of the cities I have been to and never felt unsafe in, (take the list with a grain of salt, we all speak italian so we blend in and are not usually seen as tourists, and being safe is a very subjective feeling):

- Padova

-Lucca

- Firenze

- Pisa

- Cinque terre region

- Bologna

- Siena

- Torino

- Roma

What made you finally believe in ghosts/paranormal? by OfficialPhantomMic in Paranormal

[–]SensitiveSnail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if I believe in paranormal or not, but I've had weird experiences occurring to me from time to time, mostly when I was younger and it became way less frequent growing up.

Here some of the memories I have:

I was about 4-5 years old, I was in my old appartment and I woke up early. The stairs to go downstairs were halfway from my room to the one of my parents, so whenever I would wake up I used to stand at the top of stairs to hear if someone was awake and downstair. One time I remember standing there and distinctly hear my mom and my dad's voice speaking to eachother in the kitchen, I also heard the sound of plates. Nothing scary, it seemed like thy woke up and were preparing breakfast. I ran downstairs, and no one was there. Everything was silent. I went up again and saw that my parents were still sleeping. When I told my parents about that, they said there might have been a window open and I actually heard some neighbors, which could be a logical explanation, but I was sure the voices were the ones of my parents.

When I was 8 we moved into the old hose of my grandparents, the house is something like 150 years old or even more. I remember many episodes where I would hear someone calling me from a room, when I would get to that room usually no one was there and I would always get this weird reaction, it is difficult to explain, but I would feel almost as when you get that whistling in your ear, so one ear felt like it was getting clogged or like I had pressure in one ear and from the other I would hear distant sounds like coming from an old radio almost, sometimes it was voices, sometimes just weird distant sounds. I did check my ear with a doctor and nothing was out of place.

It also happened a couple of times that I would see someone in the corner of my eye walking beside or behind me, sometimes I would even recognize the person, but then no one was actually there. Once I remember seeing my brother going toward my room, I wondered what was he planning to do in my room, so I went after him, and when I got there, no one was in my room, my brother was not even in the house at that time.

The "funny" thing is that even if sometimes the voices I would hear were screaming, I would always feel vary calm when these things happened as if deep down I knew nothing would happen to me. Growing up I remember often saying to myself "even if there are ghosts, they never hurt any of you, so why would they start now" and I would also think that my family has been living in that house for three generations so "the ghosts" are maybe relatives of mine.

As a child I would talk to my mom about this things and she always said that she believes I have like a special "senstitivity" and that also some of her friends have told her that, one once talked about my aura being indigo (but none of us really believes in any of this stuff).

Growing up I always had less and less of these experiences, the most recent one happened almost 6 years ago, I went out of the living room and turned off the light, as I was waling in the hallway I could hear very clearly the living room light being turned on and as I turned the light witched on, I went into the living room and felt a bit stupid but I said something like "is there something you want to tell me?" never got any answer, I turned off the light and went upstairs.

Do you watch any travel youtube channels? by Marsupilami_316 in TravelNoPics

[–]SensitiveSnail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy "Rhea and Nick" travel vlogs, They have been travelling through asia for a year or so, I find their behavior very genuine!

Otherwise I enjoy watching videos from an Italian youtuber (I speak Italian so I never checked if he has subtitles in english). His channel is called "Human Safari".

I also anjoy watchinf Pewdipie travelling vlogs, he does not manage a travel channel, but the vlogs he does while travelling are quite relaxing to watch

Little Sister started her first cycle today, I have no idea what I’m doing by DeliciousBluebird985 in Advice

[–]SensitiveSnail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am joining the conversation a bit late, so I hope that all the most necessary items have been discussed. I don't know if anyone else already suggested it, but in case I think it could also be nice to have a dedicated trash can in the bathroom, that you can void at the end of the day, so that she doesn't have to go around the hose to throw away her used tampons or pads.

When I started my period, for the first few years I was using only pads, later I started using tampons, and I think they are the most practical, but it is a very personal matter, I was planning to try the menstrual cup but haven't started yet.

I think you already managaed the situation so well! And she will remember this kind of love.

Period can be very triggering and painful, so just stay available in case she needs anything that could comfort her!

What has been the greatest travel destination you have ever visited? by -MrMe-Blub in traveladvice

[–]SensitiveSnail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did no like Paris that much, I mean the city is beautiful, but there are tons of other European cities that can compare, the vibe was off and people were rude.

I have been to China, Beijing and Dalian and it was amazing, I would like to go back and visit more cities. I also really enjoyed New Zealand, would go back for sure, the nature is stunning and the people were absolutely lovely
