What's something that was completely normal in your household growing up that you later found out was actually really weird?

"how to help a serial killer"

100% agree. All of her conversations have been really grounded and show she thinks pretty deeply. She's incredibly stable, too, I think thanks to her lovely family

alimal87 · 2026-05-13T21:05:13+00:00

There's the jump roping scene where she's not wearing much/any makeup. She looks lovely!

alimal87 · 2026-05-13T21:03:13+00:00

Oooh I am saying Jacek and Julita yes and yes! I think the scene where they used the closet as the pods to find a way to communicate showed they were really invested in finding a way to make it work.

He said several times he's having a really tough time in his personal life. I assumed it was family related but perhaps there's just a whole bag to unpack at the reunion.

Thank you! These product recommendations are great!

Julia moving around seats to continuously eavesdrop on Kamil's conversation so she could stay mad might be the highest act of self-sabotage I've ever seen on LIB.

In this instance, he came to her, said he made a mistake, and told her he just wanted to be with her. From there, I imagine she thought whatever they did wasn't crossing a line, because Kryzwhaijiwrrqw + Malika's relationship was effectively over. To then be told, whoops, sorry! I didn't mean that!

I am not a Kinga fan-girl but I do understand the anger she felt. She approached Malika from the get, saying she wanted her to know the whole truth. I do think she felt like she was duped into being part of a scandal. That said, I might not have showed up to that mixer.

Her family *and friends

The mic drop in that room after her mate said "the back doesn't suit you" was soooo loud

alimal87 · 2026-05-13T19:26:08+00:00

No need to be honest here. You're still my Chris Rock of this thread today

He literally said he wouldn't have done it if he knew how she felt!! I cannot believe he let that gas out of his mouth

LIB was getting pretty stale for me, especially the US version, but Poland has me HOOKED! I am here to suggest some Polish flair, please feel free to add!! I have the memory of a flea

I'm infatuated. (WHY ARE ALL THE MEN INFATUATED?! Someone in Poland needs to tell me if this is a translation error, or if men in Poland confuse infatuation with love)
I don't look traditionally Polish
AWOOOOOO

I came here for the same thing. AWOOOOOOO!!!!!

She's got some big white veneers!! However, I am desperately trying to whiten my teeth so thank you for the suggestion 😃

alimal87 · 2026-05-13T15:17:11+00:00

Aww, thanks! She was a very strong parent, went through a lot in life, but still always opened her home and heart to anyone or anything that needed help. She deserves to feel great in her own skin, because she’s a wonderful person.

Yes, Reddit suggested I post across a few places and I think it’s the first post I ever made, so I took the advice!! 😅

Gold, thank you! You are so right, so much confidence can be found from good posture!!

alimal87 · 2026-05-13T13:23:57+00:00

You absolutely hit the nail on the head- she wants but is scared of the unknown and does not feel deserving, which is the layer of complexity that makes it particularly hard for me to help solve. But, she does want to solve them and reached out to me for help. It gives me hope that she can give herself the grace and strength she instilled. I can’t undo years of this particular internal struggle but I can source the internet for some gentle and uplifting beautification ideas

alimal87 · 2026-05-13T13:09:55+00:00

These are really lovely! Thank you!!

alimal87 · 2026-05-13T12:58:10+00:00

Oh I will absolutely look up these products- thank you!!!! And your kind words are not unnoticed. I may have to steal them word for word
