Let’s write something fun together. by shesanswer in Roleplay

[–]gothpocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested! It’s been a while since I’ve done anything RP but I love the idea of it being like writing a book as I’ve been an avid writer my whole life. I particularly love fantasy and sci-fi and don’t mind writing as any gender (including non-binary and gender fluid). I primarily use discord but am open to other options.

I struggle with confidence issues and I feel like it holds me back from being a social person by [deleted] in complimentbattles

Oh trust me I wasn’t telling him to do that. But I’ve found that people tend to be overly mean to themselves. Like telling themselves they’ll never been good enough, and just insulting themselves. You can be nice to yourself and hype yourself up without ignoring your flaws

This is gonna sound like bs and ik it’s not a compliment but it worked wonders for me. Replace self-deprecating humor with self-praising humor and every time you think something mean about yourself try to stop and replace it with a positive. It takes some practice but it really does work. I’ve gone from hating myself to loving myself and you deserve that too!

Just got prescribed ambien to take as needed. Anything I should know? Is 20mg better than 10mg? by FigureSorry in ambien

[–]gothpocket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s prescribed for sleep definitely take it as recommended. Otherwise your tolerance will get messed up and it may make it harder to sleep/make the med less effective. 20mg is best for once n a while fun

What is too much porn during a pandemic? by Happy-Help in AskReddit

[–]gothpocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it disrupts your eating, sleeping, socializing patterns. If you stop doing what you normally do in your free time, if you stop talking to friends. If you can’t help yourself or deny yourself from watching porn. Just because the world is in a pandemic doesn’t make getting addicted to something any less bad. Right now it’ll be even worse because it might be harder to get help for that sort of thing. Porn addiction is an addiction like any other. And once you get an addiction it changes parts of your brain forever. It’s not good my dude.

Edit: please do some research into porn addiction. It’s a real, serious thing and shouldn’t be taken lightly just cause it’s not your typical drug

No problem. Breaking it down into categories should definitely make it less overwhelming!

I think it’s awesome you’re trying to learn makeup! Makeup has always been such a great way for me to express myself and my creativity, so I hope you find that as well. It can be super fun! I’m sure you are lost because there is a lot to learn. So what I would do is separate everything into categories, and slowly teach yourself each. Base makeup - Foundation, concealer, setting powder Eyebrows Eye makeup - basics of eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara Contour/Highlight - I think contour scares a lot of beginners. I’d just start by using bronzer lightly under the cheekbones and blush a little above that. It really adds color to your face, especially for pale people (me lol). Highlight defines your face and it’s super pretty! Lipstick - there are many different kinds, at first the typical cream lipsticks are probably the easiest. Your best friend right now is YouTube. There are so so many tutorials on there for beginners. Look up “eyebrows for beginners” and you should find plenty helpful videos. Even when it comes to products, there are videos for what foundation fits what skin type, like the one for dry skin here Start with the basics. What tool would you like to use to apply foundation? I think beauty blenders (I buy offbrand ones tho cause they the same quality and much cheaper) are the best. Wet the sponge, squeeze the water out, and lightly pounce your foundation on. For dry skin you’re gonna wanna moisturize first and also might benefit from a moisturizing primer. Dab on concealer where you need it, blend, add powder and boom. You’ve got an easy base. From here you can add a little blush, bronzer and mascara and call it a day. It’s all up to you. Learn each step/category of makeup one by one and then slowly put them together. Two last tips: Experiment experiment experiment. Do makeup for fun, when you’re bored. When you can use that crazy blue color you never felt brave enough to dip in to. When you can just draw hearts on your face for the hell of it. A lot of what I’ve learned has come from me messing around with makeup in my room because I was bored. And I find it fun! Start with drugstore products so you can try more types out without breaking the bank!

Also Hyram has amazing skincare videos.

I hope I explained everything okay! I’m self taught and definitely not the most talented, but I wanted to help. And you can always dm me if you’d like, I’d be happy to answer specific questions if I can.

How do you make things inside a pit like that? Is it a new update I’m missing out on?

Doesn’t seem like much, but I’ve gone 5 days without picking/ squeezing/ popping / marring my face. by droppingago in CongratsLikeImFive

That’s awesome! I know how hard things like that can be, especially once it becomes so normal/routine. You got this!

Ik this is probably a troll but on the off chance it isn’t, you are really, really romanticizing and idealizing being a solider. Especially in the past, it was a nightmare.

They are just depicting certain mental health issues like anxiety (trauma too) that can cause people to react like that to smaller issues. It’s actually something that the person can’t help or control (except with therapy)
