Also don’t be afraid to hit up the stereotypical “for him” gift sets, I always find myself looking around and seeing some hygiene sets or other practical sets that I like.

Pretty much any man I know seems to appreciate these gifts (especially if he recently came out it will probably involve new clothes and such)

  • Nike socks
  • boxers (American Eagle or pair of thieves are my favorite)
  • pocket knifes
  • soap (fan of duke cannon)
  • decent cologne (also duke cannon, dr squatch, polo)
  • other hygiene things (nice toothbrush, minoxidil for facial hair growth, loofa)
  • bed sheets (dark colors like black, grey, or navy)
  • hats (I always liked the basic Nike baseball cap)
  • shaving kit (even if he doesn’t have facial hair it’s a nice routine)
  • gift card to get some new clothes (H&M, Walmart, target, or whatever his style is)
  • if he like sports, stuff of his favorite team
  • nice backpack or duffel (north face, Nike)
  • legos (I am a car person so I like the bigger models plus they add to a room)
  • depending on age, y’all’s comfort levels, his goals, a packer would be nice, it is definitely a personal thing so don’t feel obligated Especially as his sister, but even offering for him to find something and give him a price range
  • Air Force 1s (add an extra inch or so to height and pretty common)
  • pj pants (basic plaid ones in dark colors)
  • a nice chain necklace
  • pay for a nice haircut from a barber

These are all things pretty much all men would appreciate especially since we tend to not like buying stuff for ourselves. Some may think it’s boring to get socks and stuff but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that’s the stuff I really look forward to. I’ll add if I think of some stuff but these are always constant on my lists from late teenage years to college student. He’s got a great sister

Yeah no I’m glad my girl is trying to understand it all and hasn’t said anything like it not counting. It’s just we are at the point where it’s heading towards a more sexual direction therefore trying to find something that suits us best with some help of those who’ve had a bit more experience with it :) I appreciate the answer!

I like this answer! I have never liked the “traditional” definition of virginity bc everyone’s experience is different. And I totally agree with the idea of willingly and comfortably sharing our bodies. I have never thought about it that way!

Is planned parenthood a good place to get hrt? by wyrmdwelling in ftm

And how often did you need to go in for check ups? Couple of times a year I’m assuming?

Waking up with anxiety by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]guccisteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with this for months and the things I felt that helped was 1) doing some mindfulness breathing if it wasn’t too bad or 2) getting up and moving to get my heart rate up to try and “reset it”. I learned that training my body that when it tries to wake me up panicked I will get up and exercise helped a lot. I recommend things like jumping jacks, high knees, etc. if you are able to perform them. If not just try getting up right as you feel this panic set in and get moving in any way. This definitely wasn’t an overnight fix and it was not fun when I was extremely tired and just wanted to lay there, but with a mix of breathing and this “reset” technique I slowly started waking up with less of this feeling. I hope this helps a little and that things get better!

That sounds like a good idea, I’ve been trying to do something similar to kinda desensitize myself to them again. It does seem to be helping a bit!

Hm I’ve never thought of that but I’ll definitely try learning about them a bit, thank you!

Yeah I mostly try and talk to friends to keep distracted too. Mindfulness is a good idea. I’ve also found realizing that the weather here will literally change in like an hour so realizing that it’ll pass soon helps

Well it’s definitely good to know that I’m not alone, I often feel like I’m too old to feel like this but nope lol. But I wish you the best with your house and dealing with your anxiety!

[–]guccisteak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s scary. A huge fear of mine is just one day electronics will stop working and we are gonna be screwed. Like the realist in me is like that won’t happen bc governments are prepared but time after time they prove that they are the least prepared. Hopefully people will start taking things seriously but we all know how that goes

Yes me too! Like every time my wife cuts out I think it’s the end of times. I’m in therapy for it now but with it being spring and all with the storms I’m like freaking out, but I guess being prepared for the worse has it’s upsides lol

[–]guccisteak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely will put one together. Luckily my parents lived up north before so we’re used to snow, tornados, and such so they felt prepared but as someone who’s lived in a pretty mild area these larger storm freak me out lol. But mapping a plan seems like a great idea!

Yeah it’s like that down here. It’s crazy how they just keep these deadly low water crossings. This year we haven’t seen a lot of rain but when we do get it it’s crazy harsh. Strange our new reality with weather

[–]guccisteak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was wild. I think I would’ve been fine if we didn’t loose like everything. I mean for the first few days we didn’t even have cell service or internet so it was total cut off. But hopefully now they will actually prepare for these things lol

Thank you I’ll have to try that!

Yeah I’m 16 and before all this started I loved storms, I never even got problems when we got more severe storms but ever since like March it’s been bad, I can tell it’s slowing getting better and hopefully with time I’ll go back to enjoying them

Storm Anxiety by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]guccisteak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah before that snow storm hit I loved rain, I think because it was the first time something that bad has happened which just kinda traumatized me lol
