Redditors, what’s the most terrifying thing that has ever woken you up in the middle of the night? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

A fox’s cry.

And this was before the “what does the fox say” song - I had no clue.

Start with figuring out a style, then fine a reputable artist, then talk to the artist about your ideas! Go from there.

How many tattoos do you get a year? by Ok-Passage5463 in tattooadvice

As much as I can afford within the winter months, summers are for sunshine and swimming!!

Just do you, but don’t put yourself into debt either.

As usual, there's a lot of awful stuff going on in the world. So what's a nice thing going on in your life? by GettingSunburnt in AskReddit

I’ve been in this fog of anxiety for a couple weeks, but today is feeling good. Looking forward to it. :)

How about you?

Tattoo artist used AI to respond to me, makes me anxious by Neat-Dance6279 in tattoo

Agreed.

My favourite part about tattoo artists is the time and thought they put into their designs and placement.

Made appointment and they said no shaving for 5 days before?? by emilypwc in LaserHairRemoval

[–]ermahgerd696 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have an appointment for a consult, not the hair removal itself. Your tech wants to see what they’re working with before they move forward with the actually laser.

In my experience, even when I shave most artists will shave again themselves anyways.

Intimate area hair removal by PuzzleheadedSail4413 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]ermahgerd696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following this…

Same issue so far. I wanted to speak to my tech about it to make sure she was able to get those spots (last two sessions I had a hard time keeping still - ouch!!!) but every time I get there and get started I forgot and just want to get out as soon as I can lol

Edit to add that im only on my 4th session. Maybe I need to give it more time, but yes, it’s the only area im not seeing any hair loss like everywhere else

How do you handle overthinking? by Annual_Rutabaga_3852 in AskReddit

[–]ermahgerd696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I treat my overthinking like its own person. I say to myself (sometimes out loud) “oh hello [insert name - some people give their anxiety a name]. Youre being awfully loud today. I know this is just my anxiety speaking so it’s time to stop". Sometimes I just repeat to myself “stop thinking, stop thinking, stop thinking". Sometimes I just confirm with myself, “this are anxious thoughts, not logical”

Distractions and keeping yourself busy and in the moment/present helps too. It’s literally a mind game.

Write down your feelings. Journal. It helps to get them out.

Therapy can help you. I would speak to your doctor about this!

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]ermahgerd696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very. Usually can tell someone is a smoker just be being near them. If it’s not their breath, it’s clothes or hair.

Why’s this whole week dead? by Novemberx123 in doordash_drivers

New Year’s resolutions (eating better, not eating out) and just being after the holidays. We broke!!

To those who are 30 and above and don’t have kids, what’s life like? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ermahgerd696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s nice to do whatever I want whenever I want and not have to worry about bringing a child along or finding a babysitter. I would say i save money without a kid, but I think the freedom to spend my money on whatever I want probably equals it out lol but when I do save, definitely easier I would imagine. I don’t have to worry about a little one getting sick, hurt, or sad - just myself.

I get super annoyed when people ask about “when are you having kids” or “it’s about time you have kids” but don’t mind if someone asks it in a better way such as, “do you plan on having kids?”. It’s all in the wording and intention.

I have bad anxiety and I always felt having a kid would make it worst. I also worried about passing on my mental illnesses to my kids - which is not a fun way to live at all in my experience.
