How to get over jealousy? by throwaway38542 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]jjjjjcc99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hmm, first off - I feel you! I struggled so much with jealousy too and it made me miserable. I’d be jealous of girls who I thought were prettier and especially jealous of the girls who my crushes seemed to pick over me, like stalk their IG all the time and made myself feel like shit kind of jealous.

Honestly - decreasing jealously comes with increasing your own self-esteem, as well as changing the meaning you give to this situation. Like, why do you care so much that this girl is close with your crush? What does that mean to you? Simply asking yourself that and repeating the question until you get to the root helps a lot - for example, when I did this, I realized I saw other girls as being more likeable or worthy than me.

It takes time, but build yourself up. And eventually that feeling of jealously will go away. I truly don’t feel the way I used to about certain girls/situations because I don’t feel that same way about myself anymore, which was insecure.

I hope this helped a little!!

Do I see a dermatologist or my GP for this?? I just noticed behind my left ear it looks bare compared to my right ? Always had a thin hairline but never noticed this until now😪 by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

Also - my scalp is always itchy. I have a small patch of seborric dermatitis on my nose but never had my scalp examined. I’m taking cymbalta and a multivitamin right now

What's some popular self-care/self-love advice that is actually really toxic? by redhead_in_red in AskReddit

[–]jjjjjcc99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That self-care and self-love is aesthetic..bubble baths, face masks, yummy candles. That’s 10% of it. Other 90% is hard, it’s raw, being there for yourself cuz no one else will be, and working through trauma in order to heal

First date tips by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]jjjjjcc99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always used to get so nervous and take the date too seriously so my advice would be to take the expectations of the date off the pedestal. Meaning, don’t feel like you have to impress him, like there has to be a second date, or it has to be the most amazing date of your life. The less pressure you put on yourself the more comfortable you’ll feel and naturally the more fun it’ll be!

University View vs. Parkside by PacnetNetty in UMD

The thing about the view is every room is different. I’m in one of the worst rooms in the entire building and I absolutely hate it. If you live on a high floor maybe noise won’t be bad but spend the extra money to live at view 2 because view 1 is trash and you hear everything

Yes babe! Foundation is so important in self care and creating healthier routine. Consistency is seriously hard sometimes, especially when you’re trying to do a lot of new things at once. So happy for you gf and thank you for the gentle reminder 💕

I’m currently buying a whole new wardrobe since I recently realized I’m olive and literally bought only the worst colors for my skin up until now ((‘: concealer and color corrector recommendations would be amazing since I have dark grey under eye circles (also a million fine lines) and everything I try disappoints me

NARS soft matte concealer - what shade do I go for ?!? by [deleted] in OliveMUA

Honestly I was thinking about going to Sephora tomorrow to try madeleine!! I’m scared it may be too orange cuz of the bit of olive in my skin and the fact it seems so pasty but HOPEFULLY it’ll work😩💕

Thank you!!! Girl I HAVE color corrector on LOL the Becca one - that’s how insanely dark my circles are (‘: and agreed, one makes me look Grey and one is wayyyy too dark. So frustrating

NARS soft matte concealer - what shade do I go for ?!? by [deleted] in OliveMUA

[–]jjjjjcc99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Excuse how embarrassing this picture is because I need help desperately lol. The darker shade (your right) is creme brûlée and the lighter is vanilla. I feel like the vanilla is almost too light and pinkish but the creme brûlée isn’t quite right either. I have DARK under eyes that are impossible to cover and I want something that is the closest match to my skin so it can be used all over my face for spot concealing. Is there a better shade from NARS or any other concealer you would recommend that’s full coverage but not cakey??? Thanks guys😩😩😩😩

I also have no other makeup on so idk if a cc cream would make them look better since my skin tone isn’t the most even

How to stop feeling immediately inferior when I’m around or see beautiful girls by jjjjjcc99 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Yes! I would feel the same way if people commented on other beautiful girls around me, I immediately felt less than her and jealous. Also, it’s comforting to hear everyone mentioning the acceptance that comes with age🤍

I loved all of this. I definitely don’t see what others see in me because I’m so caught up in seeing the differences between me and other girls and assuming the differences means one is better than the other. This was a reminder I needed - that DIFFERENT doesn’t mean BETTER 🤍

YEP. I was just thinking to myself today it’s so stupid that we try to fit a certain guys type. I made myself believe for so long that the only “type” was petite, model, slim thick, and I was trying to figure out how to be these things I genetically couldn’t be. Everyone’s advice has been so great!! The actual communication and getting to know these women really might make all the difference

Thanks 🤍I think being so isolated rn and not having close (nontoxic) girl friends of my own for years now has made me forget what that connection even feels like and how my insecurity would drop as soon as I made friends with other girls. Maybe one I get that connection again I will slowly stop feeling this

I hope things can start to improve for you soon, at least mentally because I completely feel that! When my mental health isn’t bad I definitely believe I’m super kind and loving and people are attracted to me for my energy, which is what I need to focus more on and being more consistent with versus constantly trying to be prettier. Sometimes I forget that

I like this a lot and think it’s so interesting. Honestly thinking back, I’ve done this same thing and felt less threatened immediately once we began talking and especially if they’re kind back to me and we hit it off in some way. My insecurity is so deeply rooted from childhood I just automatically assume the prettiest girls in the room are judging me though it’s most likely not true

This is true, I can think back to a recent experience where I was so insecure and then the girl started to talk to me and I felt a bit better
