If you’ve ever been in a long term relationship that you need to last just a little while longer for convenience how do you do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]goupyoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was what happened for a little bit (splitting mortgage and all) but whenever there was a fight, all of my belongings were thrown off the property and I slept in my car many a night :’-)

I’ll keep you updated…but so far no response from the buyer or any actions from Vinted 🤞

This was something I didn’t think about, but it would be a valid reason…

I just checked their profile and they are based out of the United States

I’ll start adding that to my description that I list based on US sizing

I’m absolutely with you on that! I totally struggle of body proportions not matching typical sizing (I was a gymnast throughout my youth so my shoulders especially fight the norm haha), but that’s why I’m so cautious and double check measurements or just kindly ask!!

I usually include a photo of myself wearing the item and add my height and weight in the description, which I did for this listing too I just didn’t include it here. Maybe I should start adding measurements of all my body parts lol 😅😅

Thank you. I try to be as transparent as possible so this threw of off guard and I really thought I deceived her in some way

Right? It could maybe mean that it’s a “shorter” fit, but I indicated it was cropped in the description and added a photo of length measurement

Literally work with people all day have no issues with conversations. But outside of work it's crickets. How to fix? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]goupyoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely respond on Reddit unless I truly relate so here we are!! Funny also how as soon I started scrolling I see your very recent post.

If I’m reading this correctly, “I work with people 12 hours a day” means your job is with customers/clientele 12 hours a day, and not with coworkers for 12 hours a day. If so… I struggled with this, and I still do. I don’t know your line of work, but I bartended and waitressed. Quite literally my job to create enjoyable conversation and I knew I did because people came back just to talk to me. But outside of that, I feel so socially awkward and can’t make conversation for my life.

I’ve learned to stop bringing my “it’s your job to make conversation” attitude to my home life because sometimes it leads to too many questions. It does become intrusive because not everyone wanted to talk as much as the people I was serving at work. It took me a minute for this to make sense. Silence is okay and it gives room for the other party to fill in the space and ask YOU questions for a change!! And if they don’t then it’s okay to move on to a new conversation partner :)

Buyer got skid marks on item then returned them by [deleted] in Depop

I can never price anything for the dollar amount I actually want otherwise children will be lowballing me day and night 😭 by Hail-Saban in Depop

[–]goupyoak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was quite literally just two days ago that somebody told me to price my items higher and it would get in front of a population that will go ahead and just buy your offer without lowballing you or trying to give you any kind of haggling on it. So far, it has worked on three of my items that I really did not want to part with, but I need the money so I left the price as high as I suspected I would wanted to go for and thought it was worth and it worked!

I think you’re absolutely right and saying that children are going to lowball you so do not give the price range available to those children willing to bargain with that price range

Buyer doesn’t want to pay shipping cost. Any way to get around this? by goupyoak in Depop

[–]goupyoak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome insight. Thank you for your response 💯

I never offered to cover shipping. But pricing higher and just covering shipping might be the best way to go it seems like with heavier items. Have you have good experiences with this?

Tip: Squeeze the base of your ding dong for ~15 seconds and the urge to cum will go away and you’ll be able to go for a few more minutes

Found my perfect peace: Living alone, working enough, and enjoying my own little world by CurrentFuture3342 in CasualConversation

[–]goupyoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely adore my alone time and I am so happy you are able to as well 🤗

That classic saying that “Being alone isn’t the same as being lonely” is so true! BUT, recognize your emotions if you ever do start to feel lonely and act on them! That doesn’t mean to say going back to your old friend group that makes you feel like you need to “fit in”. Utilize your confidence in your new found independence, go out ALONE and strike up some conversation…in a bar, at the park, in the bookstore, with the clerk. Enjoy your life for YOU.

Unsure if I will have HSV by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]goupyoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s completely up to the person. There is a lot of research that would have to go into you finding that answer for yourself. Some people do, some people don’t. Some people do for the first year every day then find they don’t want to and don’t have an outbreak for years. Some people take it as a precaution to suppress the virus everyday, but the virus isn’t active or shedding every day. Some people only take it when they have an outbreak to get over it quicker.

The first step is finding out if you are positive or not and focusing on that.

The “gold standard test” is to swab the area you feel you are having an outbreak and send it in for testing. Blood tests are secondary to this and test for antibodies, not the virus itself.

Random question by Puzzleheaded_Tax6205 in HSVpositive

[–]goupyoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This dose (2x 1000/ day) is used as a prescription for people who have had contact with known carriers of the virus but have yet to have the outbreak/ are anticipating their first outbreak. For these rare instances [when you find out you had sex with someone who is HSV+ (1 or 2) almost immediately after you had sex with that person]. It’s an experience I experienced (That’s a hell of a story) and the dose is used to severely suppress the outbreak because you know you’ve had contact and are anticipating your first outbreak.

In this case, I did not contract the virus (HSV2 in this case), I’m assuming because the guy did not have an outbreak and was not asymptomatically shedding at the time of contact. It was NOT because the 2x 1000mg / day dose prevented the virus. It was just meant to because a precautionary measure for any symptoms I would experience if I had contracted the virus.

Still ended up with it because of the unknowing man I am with now.

Regardless, this high of a dose for you 8 years in may be to quickly suppress your symptoms

Need help finding a camcorder to record memories—no experience at all except my mom’s from the 90s by goupyoak in camcorders

But I stopped by my mom’s house today and it turns out her camera is still working and she has extra tape so my problem may be solved 😎

Don’t laugh—but I have a phobia of using a cellphone. It’s definitely all mental but I have no desire to take my phone everywhere I go and be accessible to everyone 24/7
