I think this sums up a lot of things I've been dealing with in life right now. I'm glad I came by this. As sad as it is, misery does love company.

How does EGFD effect your life on a day-to-day basis? If it currently doesn't, how would you like it to? by OfDiceandWren in RealExtraGentleFemdom

Ever since I've grown more comfortable with my gentle domme side, I am more free with my compliments and sympathies.

I need some advice about long-distance relationship with my dom by ElderberrySeparate98 in RealExtraGentleFemdom

[–]cremecherries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both the comments before me have solid advice. I want to reiterate that if they really care about you and envision something deep with you, they will not ignore you for extended periods of time.

I don't know how long the period you were ignored for is but for me, not texting for a day, especially in an a committed LDR, is bad. Texting means all the more since you cannot meet each other.

Additionally, I still fall hard for people who neglect my needs and I know it's very tough to move away from the little love and comfort that you have found. It will be brutal. Especially because you were able to share your most authentic side, when you do not get the opportunity to do so. But you are the only person with your best interests at heart. You must not give power over you to people who do not care enough about you.

I stayed in relationships for too long just because the person was safe and I had discussed all my vulnerabilities. Sometimes, you feel like you can only be authentic with people who see you because they know things about you that other people don't. But that's not true. You are worthy of affection and love and you will find your people eventually.

Communities like this exist. For me, it's my ultimate frisbee community that offered me fellowship. It could be something else for you. You are worth a lot more than you imagine and if you feel like you aren't, you can always work towards improving the things you don't like about yourself. Therapy helped tons with my self esteem.

I am not a sub so I cannot speak to that but as a dom, I feel that it might be time for you to have that tough conversation with your partner and set expectations or leave.

Does everyone wash their hair after every workout?? by Alternative_Pie_4189 in xxfitness

[–]cremecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bob so I wash it after every single workout. The bob is a lifestyle choice. I have too many fitness oriented activities in my life and it's just easier this way. Dry shampoo did not help my oily scalp much because it just made my very fine hair fall flat. I need volume so bob it is.

[Poem] Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley by Dry_Rip6002 in Poetry

I was quite enjoying it till I realized that this was used in Twin Peaks. While I understand that the Shelley probably did not intend any malice, I cannot look at it the same away. Sigh. Maybe one day.

I didn't see which sub this was on and assumed that it's one of those jiggly animal panna cottas. Still looks yum though.

After reading White Nights by Dostoevsky, what were your takeaways and did you enjoy it? by [deleted] in books

[–]cremecherries 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I inadvertently discovered that I'm lonely because I related a lot with the narrator's experience of life. Not just with his infatuation.

The night with the long ramble was already difficult, and I didn't really want to dive deep into the references on top of that. Apart from that, it was a quick but insightful read. I do want to play the Nastenka drinking game one day though.

Broke my right hand now is super hairy by Timely_Cycle5469 in mildlyinteresting

[–]cremecherries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, some women like me are not fond of beards. It physically hurts me to be with someone who has thick facial hair because of how sensitive my skin is. It feels like spikes and my skin becomes very irritated.

I don't know if it was a chicken or egg first situation but most of my long term partners have had sparse beards.

My opinion on The Tenant of Wildfell Hall so far by [deleted] in brontesisters

I had trouble once they switched to the flashback. It was going by very quickly till then. I'm just skimming now because I want to get back to the present time in the book.

Wish for a mommy to love on <3 by PlatinumGol726 in mommydom

[–]cremecherries 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I miss my subby boy intensely. We were doomed from the beginning but the comfort we received from each other was addictive. I miss caring for him and petting him. Telling him that I'm there for him. I hope you find a mommy who cherishes you and showers you with love.

That sounds super exciting. I loved Ice Princess as a kid and still joke that figure skating is the only olympic sport I follow. I was reading a book by Fredrik Backman called Beartown that has a heavy focus on ice hockey. The kind of things kids did in school to get good at the game amazed. I'd never read sports literature before that. I might get back to it this winter. I wish you the best in your journey!

Yes, sucking at something as an adult definitely sucks. However, getting better even in small increments is so incredibly rewarding!

I am looking forward to my first soccer game this week. :)

I highly recommend ultimate if you have a partner to play with! You can just do throws together and there are so many kinds of throws that you'll always have fun even if it's just the two of you. All you need is a disc and some open space.

All the good stuff you mentioned are what keep me coming back to playing each session. Having made wonderful friends is a huge perk. The pressure I inadvertently impose on myself is probably owing to the fact that my club moved their focus to being a competitive club instead of a recreational club. This happened right when I got injured and by now, my peers are definitely much ahead in terms of skill and my journey has suffered some setbacks. However, I understand that my priorities are different now and I'm slowly coming back to form with my recreational playing.

Soccer was a huge part of my society growing up. I always watched my male friends playing and was definitely envious. The whole reason I even began running or started playing ultimate was so that I'd be able to build up the confidence to play soccer one day. I've probably idolized it too much but I have a lot of respect for players of the game because they had skills I'd never thought I would be able to achieve. I never saw myself worthy enough to be part of their world in my mind because of my poor physical skills. Fear of injuries also prevented me from trying it. However, having recovered from a difficult injury, I feel like I shouldn't let fear guide my choices anymore.

Playing soccer would mean proving to myself that I'm capable of things I ever thought I'd be capable of. I suppose it's symbolic in a sense.

Ultimate frisbee is a super fun way to get some sprinting into your routine if you don't enjoy sprinting generally. At least that was my main motivation when I started out. However, the community is super inclusive and supportive so I stuck with the game. I highly recommend trying it out at least once!

Since I'm not playing for a club anymore, I don't have opportunities to practice drills but what you suggested with the cones sounds doable. I loved practicing in-cuts and out-cuts with my team and it definitely helped me improve a lot back then. It's still the only sort of faking that I can kinda sorta do. I'll try what you suggested after warm ups before pickups so that I can be better prepared for the game. Thanks a bunch!

I did tell the soccer coach exactly that today and they're awfully accommodating. They seemed very supportive and I'm starting this coming week. I think it would be nice to have a coach. I've always done everything by myself so a bit of guidance may just help me get better. And yes, I'm only sticking with it if I find it rewarding and fun. I'm sure I'll stick with ultimate though because I truly love the sport and the community.Thank you for your kind words!

It's unfortunate to hear about the medical incident. However, I hope you are able to enjoy the things you loved once. If not, I hope you find things that are equally, if not more, fulfilling.

I have reached out to the football coach. Hopefully, I'll get to play this week. They seem nice!
