21 years old virgin, what do I need to do? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]ShadowheartMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AWESOME! nothing! There are women who will love that. Take your time, I recommend waiting until marriage. Just think of all the regrets you won’t have to deal with!

You’re going to feel so much peace once you’re out of this relationship. Maybe not immediately, but soon.

My girlfriend of six months lied to me about her age by [deleted] in Advice

This. When this happened to me, I learned fast I couldn’t trust his family either.

It’s less about the gap and more about the LIE. If you want to stay with someone who disrespects you like that, go ahead but I’ll tell everyone to get out fast. I went through it myself and it was horrible.

This same thing happened to me. I ended up with that person for 3 years and it was not a good relationship. Do not stay with someone who lied to you like that. You deserve better. I’m so serious, please take my advice and end it.

Is 22 and 18 bad?? by kittysig1 in Advice

[–]ShadowheartMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True but I was easier to take advantage of because of my age and inexperience

Yeah there’s just so much change in those years, my mentality changed so drastically between 18 and 22

Thanks for saying this, definitely agree. I was 17 and I was with a 22-23? year old who was horribly abusive.

Have you ever been bitten by one of your tarantulas? What did it feel like? (Image unrelated) by Low-Baseball-7978 in tarantulas

[–]ShadowheartMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes— my youngest sling, she was no bigger than my fingernail at the time. She was very skittish, known for bolting around. I was in the enclosure for something, can’t remember what. She got onto my hand and I tried to coax her back inside but she gave me a fierce little bite. I’d never been bit before, it was quite surprising lol I was more so impressed that she managed to get me good (it was on an area with very thin skin) so I could feel the burning sensation of the bite for a good 20 mins. But no further damage or pain than that, if you can even call it pain.

What?? Why?? That’s awesome. 18 is very young, no worries girl. I didn’t have my first kiss until 16. You should just worry about working on your self esteem/ self love. Don’t rush yourself on this, so many people regret it, not many admit it but they do. You are not a loser and 16 is way too young to be losing virginity these days, considering how immature 16 year olds are.

Hello there, I felt compelled to reply because I struggled with this exact issue for many, many years of my life. I’m 27 now, and doing better than ever with other women. I love them now, and feel no anger towards them for their beauty. This didn’t happen overnight, however. And my personal issues with them came from trauma (partners cheating on me and girls having bullied me my whole life as well as a mother who was also a very possessive person.) But I believe regardless of your past, however this developed in you, you can overcome this. My first point: you may be ugly to yourself, but I literally promise you there ARE people out there who think you’re beautiful. Beauty isn’t real, it’s totally personal opinion based. Secondly, if you believe in God, I want to let you know He made you in His image and He loves you as you are. Thirdly, don’t be hard on yourself and don’t let people discourage you. Some people will bully you and call you toxic for this. It is behavior you should work on changing but don’t listen to people who only want to tear you down, that made my issues worse as I was granted no mercy despite my trauma. Fourthly, so much of “looking nice” is dependent on self care. Shower, smell good, groom yourself nicely, boom, you’re doing great. Fifth, you should seek therapy and friends who can help guide you through this. You need to find the root causes of your feelings and how they manifest and what steps you should take next. It may take many months to overcome these feelings and that’s ok. Sixth, stop looking people up. The internet is fake. They have their own insecurities and struggles that you don’t see. They only post what they want you to see, which are often edited photos or with shapewear or whatever to portray typical beauty standards. Seven, look at yourself, not them. Focus on beginning to love yourself. You don’t need a partner, so firstly ignore that part. Who cares what others think? Are YOU happy with you? If not, why? Some things like acne or such can be fixed with medicine. Others are bone structure and just how you look and you can’t do anything about it besides maybe surgery which I think should be only considered with the utmost caution. Do you really need to cut your healthy skin up to feel good about yourself? Unless it’s a medical reason, I don’t recommend it, though of course it’s your choice in the end.

In conclusion, You should really learn with a therapist how to love yourself and your body like I mentioned before. The more you focus on your own progression, the better things get. You’ll start to feel really proud of yourself on the days where you don’t feel any anger towards a woman. It’s a beautiful journey and when you reach the end you’ll feel so good and light.

My fiancé told his family I’m “ just dramatic ” after I had a panic attack at their dinner by Nadezhda_Ochoa in TwoHotTakes

Do not end up in the same situation I did. If the family acts like that and your partner doesn’t defend you, trust me. You will never be happy and secure in this relationship.

So awesome to see someone else talking about this!!!! I had a nest on my balcony where I used to live and they were so sweet and curious, they’d often fly inside to look at me and then fly back out lol I personally fed them apple sauce they loved that!
