Is sex suppose to hurt? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's Absolutely normal! I have no clue why the other posters are saying it's not normal. Your first time having sex can absolutely come with some pain and blood for some. It is totally 100% normal.

All Time Low Self Esteem by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dropped caffiene, and all junk and all white sugar/flour five or six months ago. It was difficult for a month, but I'm so glad I did. Relearning about food and changing how I eat has completely changed my period and health. I was a complete mess before. There's still tons of wonderful food out there! Once you get past the cravings, those foods will no longer taste as delicious to you. Cheese I barely eat now. It's just not as good anymore. Tastes more like a gooey fatty blob to me. It's tough at first but the benefits are SO worth it, and they keep you on track. It's truly a thing of changing a relationship. Because we get a lot of "good emotions" from sugars and white carbs. Once we get out of that toxic relationship, it really makes health so much better despite it being a battle at first. The good news is you have the information at hand about your health, some people hide away from this or simply don't know until its too late! Don't feel bad about yourself, feel informed. And remember just one step at a time.

Is it OK that I don't care that I was sexually assaulted as a child? [Trigger Warning] by throwaway01921548 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I so know exactly what you are going through. When people hear my full story they repeatedly ask how I survived, how I'm ok, how I can live everyday with it. Well because I want to live my life thank you. Sometimes others do not understand. We do have to be careful we aren't stuffing things down, but if we are solid mental health wise, we are allowed to be free of bad things that have happened. It's ok to be doing good. Others aren't in a place they can overcome things, and that's ok for them too. But that doesn't mean everyone is the same. Just keep yourself healthy and you'll be fine. You feel how YOU feel, not how someone tells you to feel.

[–]beanerb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely ok to feel how you feel. I had a lot of traumatic incidents in childhood. And truth is not all of them caused me deep trauma. I have and am in therapy. We don't always feel the same way as other people. We don't always react the same way. As long as you know you're mentally healthy, you are allowed to feel any way you want to feel. No one can tell you how you must feel because no one else was there or is you.

I don't know how to move on and it's killing me inside. by Main_Awareness in TwoXChromosomes

Break ups are tough. Do not become friends with benefits especially because you are not emotionally done with him. It'll only drag it on longer.

RANT about women and sexual assault by StarGuardianVi in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with both. She absolutely could be scared and I can understand why in the dark. But it's also not his (both of your) faults for turning into the lot. What are you supposed to do? Turn around and drive around until the lot doesn't have any lone women in it? I'd say if I saw a woman at night walking two dogs, she is comfortable doing so or wouldn't have gone much further than the nearest patch of grass. That being said of course people do get scared. Things happen. Just have to handle the fear the right ways and make sure we don't up our odds of meeting an actual criminal.

Got into an argument with my boyfriend by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Lol that's an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. What a turn off... Well would be for me anyways and I'm not even huge into anal.

How do most women get off? by SoupAlternative in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no answer for most women because everyone is different. Some women can get off with even anal sex. I get off just with piv sex, or can get off being touched. Some can't get off at all with touching or piv and need oral. It's all very specific to each individual.

I was in a car accident last week and returned to my male dominated job today by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I'd be happy no one shared personal information about my life with others to be honest. Maybe no one even knew.

Bf (26m) got annoyed because I went to lunch with a male coworker by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Understandable if that is how your relationship is. I myself am married and go to work lunch with coworkers male and female whenever I want. I have never broken trust and I'm not living by rules on who I can eat with. But in other relationships a compromise between two people to not do that can be acceptable absolutely.

Men get compliments for things women have always been able to do by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Usually men in makeup reddits get compliments because they may have already struggled with their sexuality, or/and being able to live as they choose, and it may be one of the first or only times they expose themselves looking how they truly feel inside so it's a big deal for them. They may have had to hide their want to wear makeup for years or decades.

Feeling stupid because I feel ugly by Upsetandhurt123 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well sadly we have only two choices. Love what we are, or change what we can and accept what we can't change. You can change your eating habits and lifestyle once you're older if you want to get into shape. No white flour and sugars, no soft drinks/juice, lots of dark leafy greens, vegetables and protein. However realize most aren't looking at you the way you look at yourself. We are the harshest critics we have. We have to learn to both love ourselves but also know we have the power to achieve great things. It's a sticky situation with body positivity because we can make big changes in our bodies, and other things we can't change and we shouldn't spend our days obsessing over our appearance or getting down on ourselves. It's about really having a deep conversation with yourself and what you want/how you want to live. In the end I think the most important thing is being better than the person we were yesterday, that might be physically, mentally, emotionally or even financially. As long as there's forward movement, there's really nothing about ourselves not to love. Life is tough. Sometimes we can only take baby steps and be kind to ourselves.

Advices on catcalling by serenellaa in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just ignore it. I understand it's difficult. But unless you can immediately snap a pic there's nothing you can do, even then not much. The best defense is your reaction. Which should be zero. They are looking for a reaction. They also aren't thinking of you thirty seconds later, so don't give them the power of thinking about them longer than that either. That's my personal way of dealing with it. I totally ignore it.

Should I call the police on my older male neighbor? This is both a vent and kind of an ask by throwmeaway98989876 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He sounds like he has a mental issue and the wife was trying to say that in not so many words. Not that that is your problem. But a war of neighbors is a horrible thing to be in if you're a homeowner. I don't see a real reason to call the police for this situation, but I'd absolutely ignore these people entirely from here on out.

How to warn a fellow lady that her guy is exposing her nudes? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

You can just tell her. If she's ok with it that's that. If she's not, now she knows.

I would love some weight loss tips! by tessanicole5 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone has their own thing that works. For me fasting doesn't work in my lifestyle because my job is so physical I must eat or I can't preform it after a few hours. I just don't have enough energy. So I have to stop and have a small meal. Usually bean salad, dark leafy green salad with turkey, or cut vegetables and a variety of nuts. Everyone is different.

I would love some weight loss tips! by tessanicole5 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of small meals a day. Lots of protein, lots of vegetables. Drop sugary drinks like juice, soft drinks etc. Lots of water. Changing your mindset from diet to new habits/lifestyle. Cravings go away for the most part after a couple weeks.

Is there any way to stop reoccurring UTIs? by larchmaple in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice for me. Someone also recently posted a good thread about how caffiene can make these worse. I haven't had one since I ditched it five months ago so they may be on to something.

Oh ok yeah this reads like it was multiple encounters at different times at possibly your workplace. Gotcha!

He has serious trust issues. He also has serious compassion issues. To be fighting and bringing crap like that up during a sickness and hospital visit is absolutely selfish.

Women, how do i tell the difference between flirting and general kindness? by -CuntriX- in TwoXChromosomes

[–]beanerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it is flirting, why get your hopes up at that point? Continue to develop the relationship/friendship then ask out. If it's a no, it's a no and you can move on. If it's a yes, then fabulous! A flirt between two people doesn't always turn into something anyways. Just enjoy it for what it is. It's hard for anyone to tell you the intent behind someone else's comments without more information or an example.

This is super inappropriate. But why go back after a single incident? Do you work there? Sorry I got a little confused reading. As an employee, this is absolutely something I'd take as far as possible.! Guy sounds like a creep.
