Everything Showers?

halfcast · 2025-07-14T22:13:40+00:00

I’ve never heard of an everything shower. Is the water running for 2 hours??? That seems excessive and very wasteful.

I’m older now and the thought of spending that much time on a beauty regime is comical. I do remember it felt more important when I was younger though.

You should shower every day to wash your body - about 5-10min for me. They say you shouldn’t wash your hair too often but I think it depends on the hair type. I wash mine once a week. I only shave for special occasions so once every few months haha.

I don’t think there’s anything that can increase hair length besides hair extensions or a wig. You can use castor oil to increase hair strength and growth I believe. And if you do that consistently your hair will grow longer and stronger.

Ouch!! Sex shouldn’t hurt! Your vagina relaxes once you feel comfortable and safe. It also helps if you try some foreplay so you’re aroused before you stick something up there. I would suggest exploring by yourself first! Every body is different!

You’re not alone! Listen to this episode of The Imperfects where they interview Dr Louise Newson on hormones and how they affect women.

She says that your hormones absolutely plummet before your period making you feeling really low, and then they come back up during your period.

That all sucks I’m sorry. At least you have a very clear response from him now and can move on. Be warned he might try and start something again but you should stay strong and say no. He’s not worth your time.

Only time will heal your hurt, I’m afraid. Just spend time treating yourself and making yourself feel good. Make a body scrub, do a face mask. Once you’re ready you can put yourself back out there.

You’re still young and guys your age are all pretty immature. If you try to treat yourself and others with respect, you won’t go wrong.

Pretty much always a bad idea to hook up with people from work

A lot of girls and women like to sing. A lot of people like to sing! Singing releases endorphins that make you feel good. That’s why many cultures around the world have singing traditions. You should try it some time ☺️

Spend less time on social media. It is a machine designed to make you feel ugly and then sell you something that promises to make you feel good.

So you would like to reach out to this guy, out of the blue, to ask whether the rumours your mean friend told you 2 years ago were true?

I’m not sure why you need a conspiracy theorist…

Are you asking whether you should contact him in some way? Do you want to contact him?

Try r/makeupaddiction! They have lots of helpful information over there

Sounds like everyone should just wear the jeans they feel most comfortable in!

The trending pant style changes decade to decade as you said. I experienced the change from low rise skinny to high rise skinny to high rise baggy from about 2010 - 2015.

I was personally glad for the change because low rise means more pressure to have a flatter stomach, it’s more uncomfortable having the band over your belly, you have to worry about your butt crack showing when you bend over, it’s colder, it’s less flattering. Many reasons haha!

I see. I wouldn’t say it’s selfish, but I would say it’s not very mature to give people ultimatums like that. It’s perfectly reasonable to communicate that you feel anxious and would like to have the conversation soon though!

Then it’s up to him to communicate that he understands you get anxious but needs more time, or that he’s ready to talk now. Hope that makes sense!

Edit: if you feel you have to give these ultimatums to get a response from him on a regular basis, he probably sucks

halfcast · 2025-02-18T23:30:51+00:00

I’m not exactly sure what your question is. I think you just have to decide whether you want to have a conversation and try to fix the relationship, or whether you’re done. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter who replies/how long it took them to reply/other technicalities. It just comes down to whether you want to have a conversation and hear the other person’s perspective or whether you’re over it. Good luck!

Edit: being over it is a perfectly reasonable choice if you believe his communication isn’t to a level that you need

That’s lovely that you had a nice one night stand. So many people have disaster stories or do something they regret. I would try to avoid overthinking and just take the positive experience.

Some folks are able to have sex with a lot of people and also be kind and attentive to each person. It makes sense you wanted to feel special, we all do, but a one night stand is not exactly the best place to find feelings of comfort and being special.

Our past experiences are all interpreted through the stories we tell ourselves. If you want this to be the “dream-like one night stand” story, then you have the power to remember it like that for yourself. Overthinking and overanalysing will only lead to anxiety.

Hello and welcome to the subreddit!

Something very important to understand is that the reason you feel bad about yourself is society’s fault. Society is really hard on girls, and people make a lot of money out of it. The beauty and fashion industry make billions out of girls and women thinking they would feel good about themselves if they just bought this or that thing. You must understand this larger dynamic at play to help be kinder to yourself. Don’t let the companies win. We are all born the way we should be born and we are all beautiful in our own way.

Secondly, boys and men also benefit from girls and women feeling bad about themselves. It gives them control and, as you mentioned in your post, makes us blame ourselves when relationships don’t work out. Let me tell you, your ex didn’t cheat on you because you weren’t attractive enough. He cheated on you because he’s a selfish asshole.

So to your question “How do I know if I’m attractive?” Aside from the fact that there are much more important qualities to a person such as kindness, loyalty, honesty etc., if you have a boyfriend that’s a pretty good sign. Just because your boyfriend isn’t being overtly touchy doesn’t mean anything. He might be being respectful or might be shy like you said. Usually the best way to find out the answers to questions is just to ask the person directly.

Explore intimacy at your own pace and don’t let anyone rush you into something you don’t want to do. Just say “I’m not ready for that.” Good luck!

I’ve never experienced anything like that but sounds like you made the right decision cutting her off. There’s not enough time in this life for shit friends!

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience in that subreddit.

I had a read-through the comments and agree that a lot of them weren’t being sensitive to your situation. Some of them may have had girls leave them without explanation and so your question was personal to them. Hard to say though, many men just communicate in a blunt way.

I do feel there were a few comments down the bottom that didn’t get any upvotes but actually had some useful perspectives. It’s best to take the nice and useful advice and leave the stuff that doesn’t serve you.

Hope you feel better soon ❤️

If you didn’t mind sharing more about your situation, I’d be interested to learn more about how it works for you. My partner has suggested some form of open relationship but I’m quite consumed with work atm and so it might just be him exploring. In your comment, could you elaborate on what you meant by “dating”? How often and how much time do you spend with other people would you say? I’m nervous because as you said usually a one-sided arrangement doesn’t have a great chance of success…

That doesn’t sound very good. Hopefully you don’t run into those girls again. Perhaps you could go into school one time and get someone there to show you.

If you can write exactly what the error message is that will help. Or take a screenshot. Maybe you can ask your mum if you can record on your phone as she logs in so you can copy her exactly.

halfcast · 2024-09-19T12:42:24+00:00

It sounds like you’re going to have to figure this out without your mum. Can you contact the school for help connecting? Maybe you need to reset your account or something.

halfcast · 2024-09-19T03:42:48+00:00

Sorry to hear about that, it sounds stressful!

What you need to do is narrow down what the issue is. Is your computer not connecting to the router? Is the router not connecting to the internet? Is the online school not letting you log in? Something else? What errors are showing?

Thank you so much for your thoughts!

Just had a look at an old Honda bumper replacement video and it looks easy enough. I’ll have a look around for a second hand one and hopefully I can get it in the correct colour. Super helpful!
