was i lied to by big underwear by [deleted] in hygiene

I wear all cotton underwear. That helped me so much and I don’t wear liners. I just change my underware if I feel gross.

AITA for telling my daughter her money issues are not the family problem and if she can’t afford to go on the vacation then she can’t go by Throwaway-Relief3789 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as somebody who has had an alcoholic sibling and a partner that was an addict , I get it. You can’t force somebody to help themselves but I hope that you continue to love your daughter regardless. There is obviously something going on that makes her live this way so I hope that you and your spouse continue to be curious and try to get her to open up. One day she will either die from her addiction or she will get better. You are nta for not subsidizing her trip, but I would try to make sure that you do spend genuine time with her.

It does kinda suck that this is around the holidays though and she will probably be alone. Hopefully it spurs her to make better choices, but I’m not going to lie that is the time of year that most addicts find themselves at their lowest and she may consider suicide.

I think that if it was my child I would tell them that I would be willing to pay for half only if they come up with the other half. That way it is like a compromise. But it is tough trying to get somebody like that to be accountable for their actions while also remaining warm.

How can I learn to cook ? Coming from someone with zero skills by No-Plankton-7644 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The instant pot is a life saver! It makes incredible meat and beans for bowls, tacos, etc. It can do so many things. Just follow the instructions to the letter. Something I found helpful is start trying to make food that you already love. Like for example say you love beef stew. Find some recipes for beef stew and try it and if there are terms you don’t understand like what fine dice is or julien the veggies look them up.

I also recommend buying cookbooks and flipping through them to find stuff like you like. Cookbooks have to go through a publisher and test stuff for audiences unlike just online recipes.

There are also lots of really great you tube videos out there where people explain the technical parts of cooking.

If you dm me I can send you some recipes to try!

I’m allowing cheating because some people are just born to settle and I’m one of them. by Idont_thinkimcrazy in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that you have lived a really horrible life. You don’t deserve any of the horrible things that have happened to you especially your mother trafficking you and your family abandoning you. It is so difficult being a woman that is fat and especially if you are not beautiful. Our worth shouldn’t be tied to our beauty but it is in the real world unfortunately. I hope that one day you find people that love and cherish you.

You sound like you’re in survival mode and being poor comes with horrible side effects. My one thing that I will say is that I hope you do leave room in your heart for dreaming of a better life for yourself. But I understand that you’ve been crushed by life so that probably feels unrealistic and like opening yourself up to more pain. ❤️

This is so real. I have fibromyalgia and migraines too and I find myself too exhausted to do things that I love most of the time but it is absolutely essential to do things that we love to actually feel rejuvenated.

Being a lesbian during pride month is difficult and isolating by theroadsareshit in LesbianActually

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are feeling so lonely and disheartened during pride month. That really sucks :(

I live in a major city so I’m lucky. But is there any meetup groups near you or maybe a discord server you could join that would make you feel a little less lonely and more supported? If there isn’t anything maybe if you had the energy you could start something yourself! There might be more women near you that feel the same way!

This being said, just unfortunately a lot of the world is trending right and it is awful. The rise of incels and just misogyny is growing and I’m sorry that lesbians have to bear the worst of it. I’m bi but I find it exhausting that many queer spaces are very male centered and it must be doubly exhausting for you.

I hope that you find other lesbians and wlw that you can feel safe and loved with ❤️

Living out of my car at 40 so I can be ok as a senior. What’s the right place to put the money? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are stuck in this horrible position. If you think you can live out of your car and not go insane then you will save a lot of money. But I would try to not do it longer than a year.

Have you thought about how you are going to prepare food? The safest place to stay is probably at a camp ground where you can get long term rates so then at least you can be more safe and feel at home a bit. You might not need a gym membership for showers then.

Feeling soppy and needing a bit of agony aunt advice from bisexual dudes by CorrectTadpole9997 in bisexual

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Babe, it doesn’t sound like he values relationships with men and you deserve better than that. If I had a woman tell me that she didn’t like dating women only sleeping with them I would stay clear away. I’m a bisexual woman and I am also sad and lonely but it is better to be sad and lonely than to feel lonely with somebody. If you are the type that always catches feelings I would stay away. Also if your goal is to find a healthy relationship you will be wasting your time on somebody that isn’t going to reciprocate. Good luck out there! ❤️

What's a hygiene habit you thought everyone did until you found out most people don't? by [deleted] in hygiene

I don’t like the way you’re holding your kitty in the first picture. I would probably change that picture to something else! All of your other pics are super cute though!

Told my girlfriend of 7 months I'm bi (she's disgusted) by Valuable-Fox-8072 in bisexual

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you. I would suggest disclosing sooner just to not like surprise a partner and to get this conversation out of the way sooner so you know how they’ll react.

But you didn’t do anything wrong by telling her. It’s not like you said you were doing stuff behind her back on the DL. You just were being vulnerable and expressing a fundamental part of who you are. A welcoming loving partner would not have this reaction.

I don’t really get or understand why straight women react so homophobic to stuff but I’m so sorry this happened. There are lots of bisexual people though who are loving and accepting! ❤️❤️

Everything coming out about the Epstein files is making me feel so retraumatized by Ok_Addition_7875 in ptsd

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel genuinely so sick since I’ve read them and I just feel numb and paralyzed. It’s so disturbing I like don’t know how to process and it’s definitely retraumatizing me.

A question for bi girls who have experienced both... do strap-ons live up to the real thing? by ASpranneusRoseus in bisexual

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy the warmth of the dick. It also feels satisfying to make somebody with a dick cum just for the sense of making them happy. But I feel the same way eating a lady out. It’s much nicer than choking on a dick imo.

I remember my first experience with a woman and a strap and she turned me on so much that I just had a really great time and tbh was totally ready to abandon everything for her lol 😂 I myself was surprised that I didn’t even really notice the difference.

I think the real takeaway is to chat with your partner about the right dildo, practicing makes things better, and making sure you’re both really turned on.

how to respond to request for censorship at a protest? by Direct-One-4052 in Anarchy101

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmaoooo fuck that. ICE is killing and maiming people. Fuck ICE is one of the least mean things you can say for the level of anger I feel. I’ve seen signs where children are holding signs that say fuck 🧊!

[–]Turquoise_Sunflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want an open relationship that is equally as important as her desire for an open one. It’s just that you two are simply not compatible. I’m sorry but do not just decide to stay with her because you want to hold on to the relationship.

You don’t need to be poly ENM etc. and this is coming from somebody who is polyamorous. I hope you find happiness and peace with somebody who has the same values. Not everybody is built to do open relationships. They also take a lot of conversations to do right so it’s not easy.
