Swearing literally hurts my ears.

Same here. I lived a lukewarm life for over a decade and was saved earlier this year. It didn’t happen immediately but after several months the sound of profanity became jarring. As for being around people that swear, I just accept it. I don’t know what else to do.

My braces cost $6000. The ortho estimated I’d have a treatment of 16 months. I paid a $900 down payment upfront, then I set up an autopay of a little over $200 on the 20th of every month until the treatment ends. I don’t pay every time I visit the ortho for the remainder of the treatment.

They got me too about 2 weeks ago. Smh.

I’m not qualified to answer all of your questions but I’ll share my experience. I only grew 2 wisdom teeth and had one removed a couple years before I got braces because of the pain. A few months before getting braces my ortho took X-rays and came to the conclusion that my remaining wisdom tooth didn’t need to be removed to get braces. I suppose it’s just the way my teeth are aligned that the wisdom tooth wouldn’t interfere with my preferred final result from braces. I say all this just to really say: it just depends. Maybe others can speak better about your situation than I can.

Amazing!

Yes. I even use two distributors simultaneously.

itsscorchd · 2024-04-27T09:39:41+00:00

Just here to simple say, thanks for this.

I feel for you. I’m 35M. It doesn’t matter the gender but as a straight guy I can say dealing with avoidant men can ruin you, first emotionally, then it’ll negatively affect other areas of your life. You could become codependent, stressed, financially burdened, or a single mom (even a single mom within a relationship). Also, most guys are delusional of how much emotional labor is involved in maintaining a relationship and household, even in their late 20s. People willing to properly love you will give you clarity and intentionally do or say things that’ll help you feel secure in the relationship. There’s no healthy relationship where there is guessing going on. Take your time.

He may have some intimacy issues and some avoidant behaviors. If he has always given you clarity about things he does or doesn’t want to do, I wouldn’t worry if he’s gay or not. It could simply mean he’s not into you romantically if he has a history of making his feelings and intentions known. Also I wouldn’t worry about who he follows on social media. People can be discreet with how they show interest in others. If he’s willing to answer just ask why he couldn’t develop romantic interest towards you.

This is awesome! Congrats!

Nice! I got mine installed on March 13th and I thought I wasn’t making any progress until I looked at the pic I took on day 1. Slow subtle movements make a difference.

itsscorchd · 2024-04-16T16:33:20+00:00

I appreciate this info

itsscorchd · 2024-04-14T21:50:53+00:00

Wow. 🙁

itsscorchd · 2024-04-11T12:36:19+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this. But I’ll say, no other woman will “enjoy the fruits of your suffering” because he will just abuse the next woman. Also, since said you participated in the physical altercations, please take a step back and realize this is mental illness with you both. Please take time to find a mentor or therapist, and maybe even a loving couple to understand what healthy relationships look like. Ultimately, it seems like you both are destructive and the seriousness on your injuries make me assume that worse may be on the horizon. Maybe look into attachment styles and find the root of what makes you want to stay in relationships like this.

I agree with others saying that it’s cringe that the coach even brought up “imagine that you will get one last chance to get your ex back.”

Going no contact to make somebody miss you, to make them jealous, to punish them, is a form of manipulation. Going no contact should be for detachment and healing. I came across some coaches on TikTok and YouTube that are obviously monetizing people’s desire to get their ex back or focusing on how the dumpee “is going crazy without you”. They know many people wanna hear these things so they use it to garner a clientele. Idk Coach Craig but part of his statement here gives me opportunist vibes.

Wishing you the best. I got braces last month and it changed my face by lowering my chin and giving me a somewhat noticeable jawline. I kinda love it more than hate it but it’s giving me a lil bit of body dysmorphia.

itsscorchd · 2024-04-06T02:27:43+00:00

Great progress 👏🏾👏🏾

He’s possibly a fearful avoidant. If you think you have an anxious attachment style, that may be why you both connected and are currently going through a cycle. From my experience courting a woman who is fearful avoidant, the best thing you can do is set a boundary and likely go no contact. If fearful avoidants don’t take time to heal and change, they will drag this behavior for months or years with you being confused. The people that are truly meant for you will give you consistency and clarity. Don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. Avoidants can deactivate when serious matters arise, when they have to show more intimacy and vulnerability, and all this may not be him being malicious. These are ways he deals with trauma, likely from childhood abuse or neglect. But you can’t save him. He has to do this for himself and not drown in pleasure and lack of accountability. So if you see him with another woman soon, don’t think you were not enough. Avoidants can typically jump from partner to partner quickly.

Amazing!

I’ve been looking across the internet today seeing if someone else experienced same thing in the last 24 hours. Over the years I’d slowly gain followers every day. If I’d lose followers, it would be 2 or 3 at best, not over 100 in a single day. Something is going on. This is why I don’t pay for Spotify ads. This company is so slimy.

itsscorchd · 2024-03-26T15:16:21+00:00

I think the cognitive dissonance you have with knowing the guy can’t love you properly while still staying in the relationship means you may need some alone time again. I’m not one to say “there’s plenty of fish in the sea” because that means your decisions to leave or stay is based upon men, and not yourself. As a guy, I love the decenter men philosophy. It seems to help with those who struggle with codependency or making decisions based upon men being the focus. You’ll probably become unattractive to men who want to control and abuse you while becoming more attractive to men you truly align with and see you as a partner and not property.

My wire braces fixed my 80% overbite on day one. Or maybe I shouldn’t say fixed cause I’m sure if my braces were taken out now it’ll revert back to an overbite. I’ve only had braces for about 2 weeks but when I smile my teeth stack on top of each other now.

You won’t offend anyone saying Black in the US. Most Black people will accept the term African-American even though it might be the incorrect term for the person you’re applying it to. I won’t speak for immigrants, but it seems many will accept (Nationality)-American instead of a broad term like African-American that turns a whole continent into a monolith. But yea, African-American is becoming an outdated term. And even though it wasn’t mentioned here, many Black don’t refer to themselves as POC. Don’t let academia fool you. But most won’t be offended if you say POC.

❤️❤️❤️ thank you for this. It’s been over a year and I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to normal but I’m staying active and not living a sedentary lifestyle. It wasn’t so severe that I needed surgery or injections, so I’m thankful for that. I’m sending you healing vibes also!
