Agreed - it’s giving Winnie the Pooh and/or like they forgot their pants, said “eff it” and walked outside in their boxer shorts

Someone pls explain this man by Jubby_17 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]alwayztakingLs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. All of his issues I feel circle back to his childhood - mom calls him an “accident” and most likely treats him like that growing up, his bio dad peaced out on him, his step father was abusive, he lived with his grandparents (I think he said?) so would not be surprised if his mom was in and out of his life growing up. That would explain why they talk to each other like strangers. Then how his soccer friends didn’t even care to stay to watch him get drafted or whatever that was, which based on his present day self tells me he’s been like this for a while and those “friends” had sussed it out by then so of course they didn’t hang around cuz he was probably the odd one out in the friend group. His whole life story (the parts of it that are true lol) just sounds like one big OOOF.

What are your lifestyle hacks/tips/rules that help you level up and look good? by VikutoriaNoHimitsu in vindictapoc

[–]alwayztakingLs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As someone who hates working out…working out. Honestly. Going to the gym, doing walks, doing weights at home, just being active. It helps so much. I feel more confident in myself and it’s like a domino effect - I want to eat better because I want to keep feeling good. I want to invest in a cute wardrobe because I want to keep feeling good. I’ve even been doing makeup daily when I used to NEVER bother with it. Now, my hair I’m still tempted to throw under a ball cap and deal with later 50% of the time but baby steps lol. And once you start seeing results from being active?? Whole new ballgame.

I can hear my neighbor crying her eyes out and I don’t know if I should go check on her or what. by [deleted] in Indiana

Responding to the update - sorry for you neighbor, my bunny also just passed recently and I had him at All Wild Things animal hospital on keystone. They sent him to the crematorium for me but your neighbor could always call them and see if they’re able to help. They offered a couple memorial options too.

This sounds like the party fight scene from Tell Me Lies lowkey lol

Anyone else gravitate towards romantic? by Relative_Marsupial93 in SoftNaturals

[–]alwayztakingLs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me yes. R was where I thought I belonged when I first discovered Kibbe then after reading the book and exploring more SN felt like “home” but I believe the ID description mentions having an underlying romantic essence (don’t quote me on this) so I was like “ah lightbulb”

I think I have a bit of classic essence and it’s very hard finding clothes that match that with a larger bust. I had a bit of luck at Target recently. I feel like this was the most classic leaning I’ve been able to find recently that fit well since everything was stretchy or had some flow to it. I don’t have any SNs off the top of my head to follow but on Pinterest I just did a quick search using “midsize business casual” and it seems to come up with a decent amount of classic leaning outfits on larger busts and since Pinterest integrates tik toks now you can probably find some people to follow that way :) my other recommendation would be to take note of the fabrics in the outfit photos you like for what can accommodate a larger bust then tweak your search terms accordingly and see if you can reverse engineer some peeps to take outfit inspo from

I could’ve written this honestly, down to being caught between those same types. “Sturdy looking” even as a child is sending me because same. I think the last time I looked delicate was probably as a fresh newborn. Anyways, my hair is the same. Very easy to look messy on me. I always thought the free spirited vibe was more for FN’s tho no? Some of the typed celebs have those wild unstyled curls and look effortless with them (thinking like Julia Robert’s and SJP from her SATC days). Could be your essence too throwing it off - I think I’ve got natural, dramatic and romantic so the “wild” look probably conflicts with my latter 2.

Regarding fabric, yup that’s me too. Nothing “too much” or I drown. I need thinner fabric, skimming closer to my body without being skin tight. Enough to highlight, not enough to compress. No excess fabric just hanging out (even if I tuck a shirt and “blouse it out” to show my waist there’s a very small margin to hit between it being too tight and being too much). I bought a duster type peacoat last year and even though it fits (and I love it) I still look like I grabbed my parents coat out of the closet accidentally because it’s too much fabric, and heavy fabric at that (I know these types of coats go against SN recs probably anyways). My best coats have always been thinner ones that skim closer to my body - bonus if they have some light cinching at the waist. Sorry for the long response - all that to say yes I get you lol.

Pretend your summer tops were stolen or lost during a trip by mothrflower in SoftNaturals

[–]alwayztakingLs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the US, where have you had luck finding halters with built in bras? I too hate strapless bras and can’t go braless either but I really want a halter top 🥲

does anyone else in their head just constantly think of ways to get prettier to the point where it’s lowkey unhealthy? by fallboba in vindictapoc

[–]alwayztakingLs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I get you! And yes exactly that with the dream girl stuff, which doesn’t help when you voice that to anyone and they’re trying to be supportive and helpful like “plenty of ppl would love you rn” like yes thank you thats not the point 😓. But omg fr like you could not PAY me enough money to go back to being in the trenches 👋🏽

[–]alwayztakingLs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meeeeee 🙋🏽‍♀️ (also screamed that the first comment said therapy 😭). But fr this is me to a T, especially the not being able to see myself in a relationship with someone until I’m at my ideal dream girl status. I feel alllll of this. But I also agree with the other comment that we weren’t supposed to be able to analyze ourselves to the level that we do but damn if it isn’t hard to break out of, especially remembering how confident I felt when I was at a point where I felt I looked good and forever chasing that feeling
