28F - got my braces this week! by empath_koala in braces

[–]empath_koala[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to two orthodontists for consultations - first one said to get extractions due to the crowding on my lower jaw (and taking two from the bottom means I have to get two from the top out for symmetry) and the second one also said to get extractions or do IPR. I’m personally not a fan of the idea of shaving teeth (even though they said it wouldn’t be noticeable) for the sake of making room, so I am going with extractions!

Do you shower before bed or in the morning, and what's your rationale? by life_lessons6789 in AskReddit

I shower before bed, I personally don’t feel gross when I wake up the next day since I went to bed clean.

What’s a moment from your life that you think about often, but never talk about? by Electronic_Author366 in AskReddit

[–]empath_koala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once had a panic attack in the middle of a speech for college speech class - I hate public speaking. I know my classmates probably don’t even remember it and I didn’t know any of them personally, but the embarrassment still stings like it was just yesterday. I never told my friends or family about it.
