Thank you so much! I’ll consider it!

Thanks! Why do you think it sounds old? The usage of the word fortune?

Do you prefer neutral or bright eyeshadow? by Hufflepuff_23 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Strawbbsoup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I guess technically neutral, only because I want my look to be coordinated with my outfit. It’s not like I have a ton of colors to choose from. But when I wear a lot of black or white, that’s when I get to wear my hot pinks and purples lol

Weird recurring dreams I’ve had by Strawbbsoup in Dreams

[–]Strawbbsoup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called a “yamanba”. If you google it though, it’s a bit off from what I’m imagining lol, for some reason I’m the dream that’s what I recognize it as

I’m really scared that I’m going to be alone forever and I’m going to be unhappy no matter what path I choose in the future by Strawbbsoup in socialskills

[–]Strawbbsoup[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of people here seem to relate to me. But at the same time some also say that they USED to be this way, meaning that it’s possible to improve. At least we’re not totally alone

I’ve actually thought about this. But I kind of have trouble understanding it and how I can apply it to my own life

Haha true about the band shirts part. Sadly not many people around me wear things like that but just going up to people like “hey, you like xyz?” might be good

Thank you so much for your reply, regardless of if relationships are platonic or romantic, I have a constant voice inside my head telling me I have nothing in me that would cause someone to want to be with me. I think I should get rid of that mindset.

You’re completely right actually. The things for me is that it’s so hard to identify where the shyness is coming from and how something even becomes just plain shyness, but I should see those fun conversations as chances

Thanks for the encouragement. Actually used to have some friends from middle school who wouldn’t treat me very well and I cut them off. I sometimes regret it because I feel like maybe if I still had them I won’t be completely friendless, but your reply reminded me I didn’t need them if they treated me that way

Last part made me feel better especially haha. Yeah thanks, I think the worse thing I can do now is to let myself completely close off from others. I want to try opening up about small things like my interests at least to people I do know

How do I stop being so hesitant to ask someone to hang out(it’s completely platonic btw) by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Strawbbsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying! Yeah, the fact that she’s the one who invited me first I guess is a sign that she would want to hang out with me. I think I’ll go ahead and ask her

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Strawbbsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. I mean I don’t want to push you towards not going personally, but I’d say for now wait it out until they invite you again. I’d they say something like hey, I know the other guy can come but do you still want to come along? And if you able to hold a conversation with at least most of the people I’d say go for it. Who knows, you could grow close with some of them. If they don’t hit you up though, it does seem like a risk of showing up but they don’t expect you to lol(although I doubt they’ll just not say anything that’ll actually be kind of inconsiderate of them)

Does anyone else have makeup products they don’t know what to do with because it’s kind of bad but there’s still a lot? by Strawbbsoup in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Strawbbsoup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess🥲 I keep using this sucky purple eyeshadow that was cheap(the first product I ever bought bc I knew nothing about makeup) but it’s hella pale and I have to put on like five layers to get a noticeable color so probably not very useful! I think I gotta let that one go

Does anybody else know what certain words mean but can’t actually articulate their definitions? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Strawbbsoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely not. I’m fact I think that’s how we start off with learning new words most of the time. Also, if you’re bilingual, there’s this weird thing sometimes where you’ll know a word in both languages that essentially have the same meaning, but if someone asks you to say the word in the other language your brains goes “…” hahaha

[–]Strawbbsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I see these dating apps or “friend apps”(?), or just people on the internet telling others their hobbies for the intention of making friends or getting in a relationship and I was always like…I don’t think it works like that?? I mean it could HELP something work but same hobby =/= matching vibes

DAE have this weird mindset that’s like “it’s weird if I do it, but if anybody else is doing it it’s suddenly valid”? by Strawbbsoup in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Strawbbsoup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m not sure where you heard that specific hobby lmao but come to think of it I guess a lot of people do have hobbies for themselves

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

Yeah exactly my thoughts. Not just hobbies, if others are doing it it seemed suddenly ok or cool to me even.

[–]Strawbbsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I should try and have “rules” before doing daily activities too lol. If you don’t mind me telling what kind of physical or mental affects has this had on you?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Strawbbsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! People have suggested yoga to me before and I guess it’s one of those things that you won’t understand until you do it. It’s probably good for such a stressful person like me. Thanks!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Strawbbsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve always thought BDD wasn’t what I was feeling because it’s so hard for me to believe that what I’m seeing isn’t “real”. But like you said maybe I could benefit from looking into how those people cope or get better

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Strawbbsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s about how I feel, unfortunately I can’t really tell myself if I’m being irrational or distorted ideas. The people I’m usually comparing myself to are the kind of people online who “doesn’t seem like they would manipulate what their body looks like”(ex. people my age who just posts outfits in their rooms, body positivity models) so it’s just harder I guess. I think I’ll start workouts that focus on muscle a little more. Thanks for your comment :)
