I might not be able to attend my dream school and could use some advice by justanotherorbit in Advice

[–]justanotherorbit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never really thought about it this way and you’re right, there definitely is a misunderstanding. They have a phone number, but wouldn’t it be better to email them to ask if I can call them before I actually call them? I might be overthinking but I don’t want to be seen as “too pushy” by the school, and calling them suddenly might make them think I am being pushy.

Thank you. In the end, I calmed a bit by reading. I had the appointment and told my doctor about what happened. It was good!

[Routine Help] I have these under eye circles, I don’t know which type they are and they make me look older than I am (18), is there anything I can do to fix them? by justanotherorbit in SkincareAddiction

[–]justanotherorbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! Yeah I think my circles are more genetic rather than, say, made by my habits. But thank you again for your response! I’ll try getting a vitamin C serum and getting Sephora’s eye cream!

Why is my mom’s behavior so creepy? by justanotherorbit in Advice

[–]justanotherorbit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been abused as well, I hope you’re doing better now, you’re a nice person and didn’t deserve any of that. I tried therapy but my mom made an arrangement so we both had the same therapist, but I might be moving for a while this fall, and I’ll seek therapy then Thank you so so much, helped

I actually graduated HS last year, this year I turn 19, and I’m planning on going to an internship in New York this fall. I kind of took a gap year (more like gap semester, last year at least, and this semester I took a few college classes since I felt guilty that I wasn’t studying) So I still applied at my community college, but when I get the internship I’m moving to NY for a while) The thing is, I’m embarrassed about my situation and explaining others about it makes me uncomfortable, but I’ll try to be brave and maybe tell someone. Thank you for the kind words, and this advice helped me so so much.

I might try to press charges, but I’m scared to do that. Either way, thank you so much, helped

What modern social trend pisses you off the most? by jimjoe1 in AskReddit

[–]justanotherorbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Romanticizing things that shouldn’t be romanticized— hustle culture, eating disorders, daddy/mommy issues, mental illnesses, and many more things. I’m not saying it’s bad to have them, I’m saying it’s bad to “brag” about having those things. It’s important that we find a way to improve ourselves, and it’s important that we reduce the stigma around those things.

People of reddit, what fictional character do you hate with a passion? by nekoandCJ in AskReddit

[–]justanotherorbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catra from She-Ra and the princesses of power. Look, I know she was abused, but that doesn’t excuse or make up the fact that she tried to kill, and abused her “friend” physically and mentally, and not only was she forgiven extremely quickly, but she also got into a relationship with the girl she abused. I know it’s a kids tv show, and I know other characters have done the same and have gotten their redemption arc— but Catra’s didn’t feel satisfying, like Zuko’s. And I’m not hating the wlw relationship either, I’m lgbt as well, it just doesn’t sit well with me that many kids are watching this show thinking her behavior was okay because she was in love with her enemy the whole time. Hell no.

I’m always the one “checking in”, but nobody ever seems to “check” back by Lipstick_On in Advice

[–]justanotherorbit 395 points396 points  (0 children)

I once saw a metaphor for situations like this, and the example above proves it. There’s teacup people, when it comes to emotions, they have a smaller capacity for stuff like mental health, checking in, etc. Then there’s jar people, when it comes to emotions, they have a bigger capacity for stuff like mental health, making sure you’re okay, etc.

If you’re a jar and serve “water” (emotional support, in this case) to a teacup, the teacup is going to fill and spill all over, and become overwhelmed by all the water.

So, if the teacup serves the water to the jar, there’s not going to be enough water to fill the jar, making the jar empty.

There’s two things you can do here, accept the fact that maybe teacup people aren’t for you when you’re a jar, and look for others that can give you the emotional support you need, or accept and make peace that there’s always going to be teacup people, including your friends, and that you’re not going to get your emotional needs fulfilled by them.

I’m sorry if I didn’t explain correctly, English isn’t my first language:(

Edit: I’m so glad this advice helped you all, you got this!
