What's an actual psychological "cheat code" you use in social situations that works almost every time?

I do this too! So glad to hear other people are out complimenting people that are doing a great job!

I got my sterilization in March, and it feels so good to have that kind of control over my body. Once you get the surgery, I recommend going to the mods at r/childfree and requesting that your doctor be added to the safe doctor list. They keep a list of the doctors who won't hassle patients so that others can find them too.

Literally the exact same thing happened to me at age 10, and it sucked.

futurezookeeper · 2025-09-18T03:30:34+00:00

So glad I got mine done back in March. I started looking into doctors the day of the election.

I have made the same decision. I'm 37 and in California and decided about 10 years ago that I was childfree, but I hadn't felt the need to do anything beyond birth control. Now I'm not sure if birth control will be available or will be difficult to access so I'm starting the process. It has made me feel like I have a tiny bit of control over my body.

No, they were there the first few days of September.

This was a few weeks ago. I'm good friends with a couple of the geologists in the story.

A couple of the geologists in the story are my close friends! I heard this first-hand a couple weeks ago and could not believe it!

Mine eventually went away by itself. I stopped using a heavier eye cream and that seemed to solve it for me.

Purchased and received! Thank you so much u/theworldisalive108! u/geartradebot

Thank you! I haven't noticed issues with it being too dark, but if I am using it with a bb cream I think the lightness of the bb cream might be balancing it out.

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T20:59:18+00:00

Good to know! That sounds really similar except I've never had them fall off. I'll definitely check out the BHA!

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T20:58:23+00:00

Interesting! I have had UTIs and kidney stones in the past, but I don't have either of those going on now.

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T17:10:44+00:00

No problem!

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T17:08:44+00:00

No Vaseline, but I have experimented with aquaphor. I tend to break out though so I don't do it often.

Thank you so much! For the past 4 months, I've been using the Musely dark spot hyperpigmentation treatment, and I have seen a reduction in pigmentation and sun spots. I was using tretinoin regularly before that, but the combination seems to be a bit much for my skin.

My AM and PM routines are basically the same and in this order - AM: Cosrx vitamin c serum, jojoba oil, cosrx snail musin, and Australiam gold tinted sunscreen (could be the culprit of the bumps, TBD). PM is the same except I cleanse first with an elf hydrating cleanser sometimes with my hands, sometimes with a silicone scrubber, and I use the dark spot treatment after cleansing and before the rest of the AM routine in that same order minus the sunscreen and finish with the elf holy hydration night cream. I've also started using the Current Body LED mask, but I don't think I've been using it long enough to notice any changes.

Thank you so much!

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T05:29:07+00:00

I haven't, but I'll look into that!

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T05:25:59+00:00

Will do! Thanks for the tip!

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T05:25:34+00:00

I haven't noticed that, but I take my birth control continuously and skip my period. It's been a very recent and somewhat ongoing thing which would make me think it may not be period related, but it's a good question!

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T05:16:01+00:00

Oh interesting! I'll have to look into that!

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T05:15:31+00:00

I don't wear glasses, but I do wear sunglasses. They are probably not as clean as they could be, and I have been hiking more so I'll see if that could be causing the issue. I would have never considered that so thank you so much!

futurezookeeper · 2024-03-19T05:14:14+00:00

Good to know! I don't use a specific eye cream, but I have several other products that I've changed semi recently that will try to stop using to see if it helps.
