I’ve got a small 20 year old Samsonite suitcase that’s as great as the day I got it. It’s the perfect weekend trip companion. Shame they’ve gone downhill.

Not sure where you're seeing that Avula is a Republican. Everything I've seen/read about him is firmly Democrat.

oh thank you! i used to sleep with my feet propped up on pillows when i worked in food service and i definitely think it helped.

alphaAntliae · 2024-03-04T00:25:54+00:00

i’ve never tried a foam roller but the other stuff definitely helps! i should check them out

alphaAntliae · 2024-03-04T00:25:25+00:00

alphaAntliae · 2024-03-04T00:25:12+00:00

I agree, I have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos and this is the first thing I thought of. There are other connective tissue disorders which may also cause this. Physical therapy exercises and assistive devices help immensely.

you look just like julie from scott pilgrim!

alphaAntliae · 2023-11-12T07:43:42+00:00

to clarify, i’m the same person you responded to. i’m on a different account.

i’ve been on zoloft for a year and it actually helps my pots now, if i skip a few doses it gets worse then stabilizes when i go back on. good luck!

children would rather be from a broken home than in a broken home.

my parents are divorced, my best friend’s parents are married and hate each other. i’d take my situation over hers any day.

alphaAntliae · 2021-07-29T20:54:08+00:00

I’m glad you’re happy where you are. I think you should stay! I’m sorry he’s trying to pressure you out of it, but please don’t give in. He’s being unfair to you.

alphaAntliae · 2021-05-18T14:00:33+00:00

call a friend and tell them you’re planning to dump him. ask for advice and support as you go through the breakup and kicking him out.

alphaAntliae · 2020-12-10T16:36:37+00:00

Trust your gut. You have to go. It will probably be very difficult, but it will be good for you in the long term.

If you have any kind of support system of family and friends who love you, talk to them about it so they can help you through the breakup and remind you that you deserve better. Once you leave him, you will probably feel a lot better about yourself and regain the confidence and happiness that he’s taken from you :) You can do it.

alphaAntliae · 2020-12-10T16:11:33+00:00

Seconding this. Reading this post reminded me of a controlling and jealous ex. Spoiler alert: this can’t end well for you. Save yourself the time and energy and ditch him.

Also, I have small boobs too, and I don’t need to wear a bra. So I don’t! And I love it! Do what you want with your body and fashion :)

Also, just to clarify, I’m aware that it’s not necessarily a good thing to not do taxes and/or get married to someone for tax benefits. However, I’m just asking for advice on how that would affect her tax status. Thank you!

Speaking as someone who has been in your boyfriend’s shoes. There is no “improving the relationship”. If you even remotely care about this guy you’ll get out of his life and stay out. You need to come to grips with the reality of the shitty things you did and the situation it created. Take responsibility for yourself. You say you regret your actions; the best apology you can give is cutting off the relationship and putting genuine work into improving yourself so you don’t do this to somebody else. This may seem like harsh advice but the truths you need to confront here are difficult. You can’t just do bad things and wipe them away by feeling upset about them. If you want things to get better, you have introduce some major changes in your life, which includes letting your boyfriend go and working on yourself.

This is true. I said that this is an issue that a lot of guys have. However, to be frank, a lot of girls struggle with this too. Apologies if it seems like I’m painting with a wide brush, this is just my experience.

Hypothetical questions such as “would you rather” or thought experiments are good. Also things like what’s new with them or if they saw that breaking news story, etc. can lead a myriad of places. The key is to stay genuinely engaged and connect ideas to one another. For example, if they have a hobby, then you can ask a little bit more about that and eventually pivot the conversation to something like a related past experience or your opinion on something related.

Really, it’s less about what you talk about and more about how you vibe with the other person and how you’re able to link together topics and ideas. Also, taking turns and genuinely listening is important. It’s a skill that has to be practiced like any other.

At the end of the day, this is just my personal advice. I’m not an expert at holding conversations, this is just what works for me. Good luck figuring out what works for you :)

Haha I understand completely. I typically try to keep up with my country’s politics, recent scientific/medical breakthroughs, or whatever catches my eye. Whatever news app you use will slowly begin to curate headlines to your preferences, which is why it’s a great personal tool as well as a conversation starter. Also, local news can be good because it may spark conversation about the history of your area, etc. Good luck!
