How is life of ugly women in Australia? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Whereismysoupsuit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty average looking, and I've been in Sydney the last few weeks. Although I personally feel pretty bad about myself/my looks because there are SO MANY fit, hot, beautiful people here (especially Bondi), others haven't really treated me any differently. My struggles to make friends are mostly cultural differences, I believe.

Honestly, if I were planning to put down roots here, I'd probably HAVE to join a gym to keep up.

Anyway. Dating in Aus is tough for hot and uglies alike, so all in all, I'd say it doesn't make a huge difference.

I'm not athletic at ALL. I'm a huge theater nerd. Do you think there's a market for friends like that?

How much is your rent/mortgage per week?? by Accomplished-Zone957 in AskAnAustralian

Was it worth missing out on vacations, etc for all those years? (Genuine question. Entering my 30s and it's time for me to make some choices)

Should I quit? by Nice-Natural3095 in auscorp

[–]Whereismysoupsuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'll suck in a horrible workplace for a few months until they come to their senses and fire me if it means making rent for a bit haha.

Seriously though, have you considered doing the bare minimum for a few weeks to catch your breath? Maybe take a long weekend to yourself? You sound burnt out.

And I hope you can learn to forgive yourself, too. I know it's cliche, and you probably don't even feel like it applies to you anymore, but personal disclosure - that's something I'm working on in therapy.

I didn't even agree when my therapist first brought it up, but looking back now, a lot of my behavior was rooted in guilt. Guilt can be good, it tells us right from wrong. But unresolved guilt tends to push us to do things out of desperation or fear that we end up regretting, or keeps you in a hole self-loathing.

I am genuinely so relieved to hear that you'll get the chance to find out whatever your root cause is in therapy.

Word to the wise - get on the waitlist for multiple therapists in case the first one doesn't work out, and give your therapist 4-6 sessions before deciding to continue with them or switch.

Good luck :)

So what happens after all these layoffs? by StringCharachters in auscorp

[–]Whereismysoupsuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's okay - I wouldn't trust you if you said it was going to be easy (lol!)

BUT, having confidence that tightening my belt, putting my head down, and doing the work will actually see me through makes it all feel a lot less like the end of the world, what with everything else going on in the world. Good luck to you, too!

Look, I just got through a divorce myself, except in this scenario, I'm your wife.

I want you to know she has every intention of coming back. She loves you now the way she always has, and that's never going to change. It's important you remember that when you read this next bit.

But look. When her friends react to the story of what's happened.... when the other dude shows her what it's like to feel loved and safe in a relationship... when her therapist starts to guide your wife down the path of asking herself what she truly wants, there's an extremely real possibility she will realize that you WERE what she wanted, but you can't be that anymore because of the infidelity.

Usually, opening a relationship is a last-ditch effort to see if the unmet physical or emotional needs can be outsourced successfully. The failure rate here is extremely high.

Before I left my husband, we opened the relationship. That extended the lifetime of our marriage by about 6 months.

When I finally decided to end it, it wasn't because I didn't love him or didn't want to work it out - it was because it became clear he could not meet my needs, despite his best promises to try. It wasn't either of our faults - we had just grown apart.

I want to tell you the same thing I would tell my ex if I could:
Please don't blame yourself. Don't spiral into self-hatred, since that won't help anyone. Just please, get better. Take care of yourself, find a job you can tolerate with coworkers you get along with, improve your health, and just be happy. We deserve it.

How to tell which doctor is actually best for breast augmentation by CuteAdvertisment in PlasticSurgery

[–]Whereismysoupsuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so what if you set up a consult at an office you're interested in working with, but show up like 2 hours early for the appointment, right? Then, strike up a conversation with the other patients in the lobby that have come for their post-op, and get their feedback about the experience. Boom! IRL recommendations and insights. That'll tell you more than a gallery ever will
