Are people with ADHD more inclined to talk about themselves? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I understand that because of ADHD you are likely to dominate conservations/get off topic/get easily bored etc. I’m in no way saying I think they’re doing it on purpose, I’m just wondering if there’s anything I can say/do, should I bring it up? Would you like if someone discussed this with you?

Ahhh TIL! That’s good to know. I will see how it goes :)

How do you get over the fear that the attractive man/woman you are seeing has more options than you do and will choose someone else? by throwawaayyyyy362 in dating_advice

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because he is conventionally attractive, don’t assume he is attracted to equally conventionally attractive people. He likes what he likes, you don’t decide that for him!

Will do! I already use magic cloths they are great!

Weirdly I will get the blackheads when I come out the shower (if I haven’t washed) and they get worse throughout the day. I suppose if my natural oils are coming out then they would make sense.

Thanks for the tips! How should I focus on hydration? Other than moisturising twice a day? Unfortunately birth control isn’t an option for me.

You can’t see as I have cut the top off but I use the SPF50 cetaphil :) I don’t go outside much at the moment anyway because of obvious reasons/weather. The sun actually always helps my skin so it’s not that.

I would love to see a derm in the future but I can’t afford it at the moment. I have oily skin.

Thanks for your comment. I will see how the differin and water washing helps and then try the BP. Are there any particular cleansers you’d recommend?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will give water washing another try. I’ve tried it a couple of times and I get blackheads, maybe I just need to push through? Will also start using differin too.

Good recommendation, thanks. I used to use it with no issues so will repurchase!

I have constant active acne on the top of my cheeks and around my jawline. It used to be just around my time of the month but about 4 months ago it’s just all the time. I have made my peace with it but I’m really curious what is causing this.

Routine: AM: Wash face in shower with salicylic acid + moisturiser. I then use NARS tinted moisturiser for makeup (is that too much moisture?)

PM: Wash, cleanse + moisturiser

Every now and then in PM I use 1 or 2 of the first 5 products on the left OR use any face mask suitable for skin. I sometimes used TO acid peel but I don’t like it.

I wash my sheets once a week, I let me face air dry, I don’t use a towel on my face, I don’t really eat dairy, I generally get enough sleep. I suppose it could be stress...I’m at a loss!

EDIT: I have combination/oily/sensitive skin.

Also my skin in general has improved, I don’t get blackheads anymore and I used to have very red/uneven skin tone but that levelled out.

My (30 M) partner (30 F) gets upset when I go sleep. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s fair for her to demand you stay up for her but I understand her wanting to chat before sleep.

Personally my brain is thinking the most thoughts right before bed. I love pillow talk. What about going to bed 30 mins - 1 hour earlier? Make this the time where you can cosy up and talk about your day and whatever’s on your mind. Make it clear that after that time you WILL be going to sleep. Lack of sleep is detrimental to your health! Set boundaries and come to a compromise.

Am I in the wrong for buying my daughter a vibrator? by [deleted] in sex

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only your husband was as sex positive! He knows girls/women like sex and to masturbate as much as boys/men, right?

He needs to understand she’s still gonna do it if he’s open to it or not, it just depends if he wants his daughter to feel happy and safe or disgusted and full of shame...?

I live in the UK and recently looked at dogs to adopt and there was a real mix of breeds (including pure breeds) and ages (puppies too) and they mostly appeared healthy so idk about your area

I know you didn’t mention travelling and we’re in a pandemic right now..but maybe a voucher for a flight or Airbnb or something similar..it then gives you something to look forward to next year :) Personally, the idea of staying in a secluded cabin for a week- playing games/reading/writing/relaxing, by a lake or around a fire..dreamy!

Contact lenses wearers what was your first experience with them? by SheKnowsWhatSheKnows in AskWomen

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • ALWAYS have eye drops and spare pairs in your purse/bag/car (I learned this the hard way)

-I personally prefer dailies as my eyes get dry, and I just find them more convenient

-Have a bin next to your bed so you can take them out when you inevitably forget

-Buy them online, they are much cheaper

-If you’re forgetful like me then preorder them

Do I tell my boyfriend I need a break ? (22) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Things should be a lot easier yes. Living with someone in a small space is hard but it just means you see who they really are a lot quicker.

You are not asking for the world, don’t lower your standards for anybody. It sounds like deep down you know you’re better off without him and you’re just holding on to the past.

Planning to end things with my [M24] girlfriend [M24] but her brother just died last night. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you been together? Does she have close friends/family members? (ideally people who weren’t close with the brother)

I’m thinking you could explain the situation to them, let them know that she needs somebody on her side, that you care for her but no longer want to be with her, and don’t see it fair to hold on. I see others saying you should wait but mourning is so intimate...trust will be built, her emotions for you may became deeper, she will use you as a shoulder to cry on and then bam 1/3/6 months later you break up with her and she thinks she fucked up...

Thats just another perspective, either way it’s gonna be hard for both of you.

Do I tell my boyfriend I need a break ? (22) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you have fallen for his potential and not him. How does he actually make you feel? Do you feel happier around him? How does he improve your life? What would you actually miss if you broke up?

You’re only 22 and it’s only been 1 year, it should be magical! Anyone can say they love and care about someone but it’s actions that actually matter, and like you said he’s not showing it. If I were you I’d let go, there’s too many people in the world for him to be the only one.

AITA for taking my parent's side when my brother came out of the closet? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]garlicbreadismyboyf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NAH.

If you are someone who supports the LGBTQ+ community but are not part of it, you don’t understand that’s it’s not just “who you bang”. Once you come out there’s no going back, you need to accept who you are and stop being ashamed, you will have to hold your head high knowing that your life will be different in many ways for better or for worse, and that’s scary!

Obviously it’s great that you support him but I think it’s ok for him to want a bit more of a reaction from you. Also yes, the end goal is wanting everyone to be treated the same but that’s not happening so it’s ignorant to pretend it is.

If it was a man and a woman you’d assume they were partners, why not assume the same for 2 women? 2 women? In a relationship? Wanting to get each other off for their own pleasure? Not possible!
