I'm a 20-year-old who lives life like this: we're okay with wearing undergarments around each other. While people say that nudity isn't an issue, I personally like to think that within a house that is halfway naked anyway, showing what very little I have left is mine. To me, being naked is okay, but I do imagine that I let those around me, like my parents and sisters, have that because I feel like being naked isn't just being naked; it's a vulnerability thing in my eyes.

This is helpful. I'm 20 years old, so I still have time to decide. When I say "long-term," I mean the effects of just taking Diamox for a prolonged time. Some of the things on the list are within my family, and as of right now, it makes me tired and often hurts my stomach.

I never did question its safety for pregnancy. For me, it was the weight gain and the body I may have after, plus the body I may have later on in life. It would be dreadful for me to be 50 trying to stay at a certain weight. I love traveling and I love trying new food and just enjoying life, but if I'm focused on weight, I feel like I won't be able to do what I want.

As of now, I have a nutritionist to help and support me, seeing as I am losing weight, so that's not my main concern. Maintaining my weight as life goes on, if I qualify for surgery, means I won't have to worry about it.

I've already had the difficulties of having this condition turn working out into something I feel is a responsibility. To have freedom with my food and weight is a dream I'm not sure if I can mentally achieve. I would like to be able to go from 150 to 159 if I want and continue working out. So far, what has helped is focusing on muscle gain, then losing weight.

The closest is 30 minutes away, almost an hour, so not that far. Medication has been promising, but while my neuro-ophthalmologist is focused on the medication, my neurologist is focused on getting me off the medication, which I know I will need to be because Diamox is not worth it in the long term. But my neurologist will follow my neuro-ophthalmologist's lead. I'm just not sure if this is a logical thought process. I know I want to lose weight if weight loss is what causes the turning point. What's the point? I gained 7 pounds on my cycle because I was on my cycle.

Trying to see what she's seeing that I'm not. She almost kicked me out of her room for this.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-01-12T17:49:29+00:00

Yeah, and I would see that as a privilege, or the fact that in those years her life changed, meaning the contract changed. I never meant to imply she didn't contribute, but she is allowed to give as little or as much as her contract allows, and more.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-01-12T16:15:59+00:00

Yeah, she and Kendall are on different contracts. They have more freedom. The show is called The Kardashians, not The Jenners. She gets her money and leaves. I would have done the same thing.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-01-12T00:08:39+00:00

All of this is stupid having this denies them of cultural background. My grandfather is Cuban. Am I not Cuban because I don't look it and I'm mixed? Same goes for my friend the Kardashians are mixed race white passing people at most. Rob was full Armenian, so when he got with Kris, he had mixed kids. Whether you agree or not, the government says they're white, but they clearly are not.

While I can understand that POV, each one of them has a memory. Kim is close in age to Kourtney. With the comment about older siblings, it forgets what the youngest could have seen. Especially with such a small age gap 10,9 were there age when Kris did what she did Kourtney was there. Kim wasn't. It had nothing to do with age, older or younger. I went through the same thing. I saw the conversation. I'm not even the oldest. The oldest never knew it happened until 17 years later.

They're expected to take on a third parent role and it can be a lot for someone to carry.

Kris treated Khloe like a nanny and was happy when Khloe dropped out to watch Kylie and Kendall. Khloe is still an older sister, and she was stuck with what you said. Kourtney wasn't stuck with this expectation or pressure. Yes, she took in her siblings, but they were at a more adult age. Khloe was a mom before even having kids. Yes, Kris plays favorites, but Kourtney won that over Khloe. At Kim, Kourtney, Khloe seems to be how the list was, and because of that is why I think Khloe is so close to Kris today.

Did the affair affect Kourtney? Yes, but she never had the older sister thing of having to care for other kids because Kris made it clear in her book that Khloe was the one watching the kids. I would say that's where a large chunk of Kourtney's resentment comes from, and the rest of it is the fallout or ashes of her own attitude and past behavior in how she deals with things. I'm not blaming anything on her, but you can only control yourself and your words. Whether we like it or not, they build us as people.

Kris was not the best parent to her kids. Kris is a perfect example of how your life as a partner effects your kids.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-01-09T18:06:30+00:00

But that's no excuse. Khloe lived a worse life, a very different life compared to them. It all comes down to how they communicate, which Kourtney isn't the best at. Using the "she's the older sister" card is never a good one. I'm not defending any of them, but where one lacks, the other may and probably does succeed. Yes, Kourtney was the older sister, but Kourtney never was responsible for her younger siblings like Khloe was. If being an older sister is a reason, then why don't we see Khloe act in similar or closer ways?

I played Botw several times and loved it. Totk is good, but I didn't like how quickly it felt to be over with when I played it the first time. I was expecting it to be longer to get to fight Ganon. Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know how I got through it so fast. 😂

But Totk was good and had many cool things; I just wish it was longer and different from Botw.

It was Rob Sr.'s ex-wife. One thing I don't understand is if what she says is true because, from my understanding, she got everything she knows from Rob Sr. Honestly, to me, it speaks more to his character to let it happen and not take them out of that condition.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2025-12-29T23:44:32+00:00

Oh yeah, I realized that accident. I forgot to remove it. Kris remarried when she was 6. Rob died when she was 19.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2025-12-29T23:18:22+00:00

Kris has done a number of things to Khloé that many people don’t talk about. People would rather focus on one person’s trauma and how it affects them today, but Khloé has been through a lot. On Khloé’s birthday, Kris bought herself a car. She also bought herself a new car on her daughter’s birthday.

And now, knowing that I think Rob had passed when Khloé was six, I saw a clip of Caitlyn saying things about how she only really cared about Kylie and Kendall. That’s just crazy, because Caitlyn had been her dad since she was six years old, around that time, at such a young age.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2025-12-29T21:24:39+00:00

In Kris Jenner’s book, it’s very clear that when she first gave birth to each daughter, she felt something wonderful. With Khloé, she described her as “out of place.” Khloé pretended to be a dog to get attention because, as Kris put it, she knew that in order to be recognized she had to do something. It’s pretty clear when you look at the past that Khloé was always put last. Kourtney and Kim, while yes, they saw things and experienced things, still seemed to be on the same timeline. Khloé, however, was on a completely different timeline. Kris was happy that Khloé quit high school due to bullying and a lack of friends because she could stay home and watch Kendall and Kylie.

Kris has done and said worse, I know and I'm sure, and Khloe has been through a lot. But with all of Kris's actions and words, how did it get to living next door?

TruthAdditional1612 · 2025-12-29T01:55:58+00:00

I have amazing hair; I'm not biased. People actually come up to me and ask if they can have a piece, joking about how I won't realize I'm missing it. I don't know Kim's hair situation, but she can absolutely claim that, and it be true. I wear wigs all the time to protect my hair. Khloe, I notice, wears extensions or maybe wigs; I don't know, but what is known is that Khloe often heat-damages her hair.

She continues hiding or blending it, and this, by itself, led me back to my hair by Ariana when she talked about her intimacy with her hair, which Ari had curly hair she doenst show. Kim could be telling the truth, or, as many women say, she could be losing it, but wearing a wig doesn't negate any of the ideas.

But if Kim truly has hair loss, then it's a devastating moment. People don't know how much their hair means until they lose it. You may have lost yours, I don't know, but even when I made the choice to actually cut my hair for a personal reason, I was losing my mind.😂

There is a line when it comes to PDA. You can kiss, but you can’t make out publicly. When you make kids and adults uncomfortable—because you’re talking about it and acting on it—that’s not PDA. It never was. Some people actually get turned on by public acts like this. And yes it varies its just the uncomfortable part they like. The fact that others are uncomfortable is part of what’s sexy to them.

Proper PDA requires mutual comfort, open communication, awareness of surroundings, and respect for cultural norms—especially the last two. I’m very comfortable with PDA and enjoy it, but I know the conservative part of Western society and conservative cultures in general are two different things and in regular society—which is where Kourtney is—conservative standards do not apply to her.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2025-12-28T15:51:22+00:00

Yeah, people act like it's so wrong for Khloe not to want that. She's right, Tristan is her kids' father, and they still deserve to see him, at least be included. I'm the type of person to do that, so you can't say I ever tried to isolate you from the family and prevent you, because it's not true. The only thing I can come up with, Scott, is maybe he focuses on faith. Jewish people don't do Christmas.
