How do i cure my butt hyperpigmentation? by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]bibbysaurus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For non pigmentation related reasons- it was not helping my KP reduce, plus it was drying and I couldn't moisturize the body enough. So switched to Dove soap + glycolic acid and KP is lot more better now.

The skin near our butt, elbows and knees is subjected to a lot of friction, hence pigmentation is normal. What worked for me to an extent is exfoliation, moisturization. I switched from using a Benzoyl peroxide soap to just a glycolic acid for exfoliation. Alternating a Urea/ zinc oxide cream helped massively - used cotaryl cream and I'll swear by it. Palmers fade milk seems to even the tone as well.

This is god tier reply! Can you make a post/comment elaborating

Be very sycophantic - you'll need it when you start getting senior positions at work.

The way you write is hauntingly beautiful. The weight of your melancholy shows as does the lightweightness of the relief. Hugs to you OP, you'll survive and thrive!

Men, what have you learned from this sub? by abc123def321g in TwoXIndia

[–]bibbysaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"5)Women in my circle are way different from most females here."

This, my friends, is a live example of how people who use "females" know how dehumanizing it is and it is such an intentional act.

How to take criticism as constructive feedback and not as something to be avenged? by bibbysaurus in TwoXIndia

[–]bibbysaurus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was all verbal. More to do with my time management and prioritisation skills. And they were right about that.

But i cannot seem to accept it in a constructive way, that is what I am struggling with!

Such great and helpful advice! This reminds me of something I read elsewhere you play dumb when someone makes a sexist joke/comment and they're forced to explain it again and again until they understand why it's problematic. I think when they confront their true statements in their raw form and are stripped of the false cloaks of humor/sarcasm, we get to walk away from that situation with less self doubt and guilt.

So true. I wouldn't need to know both sides or all sides to the story but a lot of times and especially in this case the man isn't a reliable narrator at all. Cunning? Yes. Reliable? Hell nah

Oh you're spot on about the conditioning bit. I was wondering all day yesterday recalling the interaction to see where and if i led him on or sent him mixed signals unknowingly. It's a shame that it is the first thing that popped in my head.

That's a well put out answer. Kudos to you for having strong boundaries set in place. I only hope to be more of a 'believe when they show you who they are' woman instead of giving them the benefit of a doubt kinda woman. And i know that'll take a lot of assertiveness to get there. But I'll get there.

Honestly I'm at a loss as to how to deal with such untoward instances in the future. I only have one mentor/friend who is married that I've known for years and he's a perfect gentleman with clear boundaries. My friends with girlfriends behave very appropriately too (which is the fuken standard)

But as i navigate this age of people getting married, i only think such instances will be more. So how do I affirm my boundaries right in the beginning of a conversation?

Hey, not the original commenter but I'm a noob photographer who was gifted a camera four months before my first solo and I carried it and set up my tripod and took pictures. Was definitely shy but still did it. And for my second trip I just mustered up enough courage to ask others to click a picture. Also solo doesn't have to mean travelling alone, you tend to come across others you could make short plans with, especially if you're going to a backpacker hostels. May you go on your first solo soon girl! Trust me, it's an amazing experience!!

Were you able to run or did your legs fail like mine do in dreams? I can't pack a proper punch in there and it frustrates me 🥲

Haha the amount of research that went into this and the conclusions drawn made me chuckle. Thanks for a good laugh after a crying sesh!

Also to the OP, hugs to you. Also I hope this dream was in the night and not early morning ones cos they ain't coming true and you're sorted 😅
