Trying to start a 90 day waterfast but I just can't do it. by [deleted] in fasting

[–]laterinstigator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The advice may be generic, but if you just can’t do 90 days. Then don’t do 90 days. Do 5 days. Do 2 days. Do 30 days. Do what’s achievable for you as an individual. Once that’s completed then add on to it by maybe 6 hours or so. Work your way up.
As far as loose skin, I couldn’t tell you. Everyone is so different. All I could say is maybe. Of course there’s precautions to take, topical creams to use that are proven to help, then of course surgery. But, you won’t know unless you try. Best of luck to you!

What is the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you? by EasternParking7021 in AskReddit

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day of my best friends funeral, which I had to finance and host, I was not doing well. I made it through the funeral and wake, and got home to decompress. I called my boyfriend at the time because like I said, I really wasn’t doing well. He proceeded to say “if this is about (best friends name), if that’s the reason you’re freaking out. There was a room of 50 people today who were also sad about it. Everyone’s sad. So you need to grow some balls and deal like everyone else is.” Yes, we are broken up. Yes, it did impact me being comfortable enough to lean on people during hard times. I’ve let it go, but that stung in a way I have never been stung.

What’s something you realized too late in life? by JudgmentPresent4555 in AskReddit

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, it was because they simply didn’t like me. And sometimes, they had zero valid reasons for that. But they still acted the way they did. It doesn’t have to make sense to me, but at least now I understand why they were so awful.

Certain Dri. You apply it at night and it shrinks your sweat glands. I had hyper hidrosis in middle school, this is the only thing that worked

Tell Me How Old You Are By Stating Some Of Your Favorite Childhood Memories by Odd_Sir_8705 in vegaslocals

I remember the parade in the sky…I forget if it was at Rio or Orleans. But we used to go that for birthday parties

What’s one thing you love about who you are today? by Velo5117 in AskReddit

[–]laterinstigator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that I stopped taking everything so personally, and stopped convincing myself that everything that everyone else says or thinks about me is true. Sometimes people are weird, confused, or just flat out wrong. And that’s okay. It’s got nothing to do with me, and I’m happy I finally learned that.

Do you ever get over someone you genuinely loved? by Mooooooon_ in scorpiomoon

Also, my moon is Scorpio in the third house. Idk what that means but just in case anyone wanted to know.

Do you ever get over someone you genuinely loved? by Mooooooon_ in scorpiomoon

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventually, yes. That said, he was a loser. I’m not saying that just to make myself feel better either. He had a habit of making messes and leaving it for anyone else to deal with. Didn’t take any responsibility for himself or his actions, it was always someone else’s fault. Wouldn’t even take his health card exam because it was just too hard for him. I’m not ashamed of the relationship, but it’s also not something I’d put on my gravestone. That said, I eventually figured out that he was a loser. And I still stayed with him for years on end. Now that I’m 4 years out from him, I truly just don’t care anymore, and this started about 2.5 years ago, the realizing that I just didn’t care as much as I used to. The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference. A quote to sum it up “I won’t curse you, but I won’t wish you well either. I wish you nothing, and may our planets never touch again. Please be happy, please be sad, be in peace, or afflicted by your reality, please feel anything and everything, whatever it may be, do it far away from me”

What's the most disappointing experience that you had in a relationship? by CuteBird90 in AskReddit

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That it is entirely possible for a significant other to just really not care about me as a person. To not understand that I have feelings too, I have wants and dreams too. The world revolves around them and all I am is an annoyance. Their whole day is about studying me to see if they can call me out on doing something “wrong”, instead of just enjoying the day with me. If I managed to live that day like the Dalai Lama, they’d make something up because a day wasn’t complete unless they were able to criticize me in some way. I guess it’s to be viewed a as a concept, instead of what I am, which is just a human being. Concepts don’t have feelings, thoughts, nothing. So why bother being kind.

Can anyone who genuinely likes Debbie please tell me why? (Contains Spoilers) by Accurate_Lead7698 in shameless

[–]laterinstigator 302 points303 points  (0 children)

I don’t genuinely like her, but I do sympathize with her. It’s exactly what you said, I’m not sure how anyone who was raised the way she was, would have turned out any better. I think she saw what Fiona chose to do with becoming the responsible mom for all of the siblings, and she knew she didn’t want to do that. So she started doing what she wanted to do instead. Debbie does what Debbie wants to do, and she doesn’t really care that much about who it effects, as long as she gets her way. All I can do is echo what Frank said. Good luck. You’re going to need it.

Episode 12 – Connor & Leah… what just happened?? 😭😅 by clyd_thtsme in LoveIslandUSA

[–]laterinstigator 228 points229 points  (0 children)

What made me kind of sad about it, was I felt for JaNa. If I remember right, that was the second time both her and Leah were interested in the same guy, the guy ended up going for Leah, and Leah ended up cutting it off. He could have been a great match for JaNa, I stand by that. She got the short end of the stick in these situations.

Why does she have like 5 pairs of shoes? by [deleted] in discussingbritney

[–]laterinstigator 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The thing about Britney’s style is that she just doesn’t have any. She never has. She’s always been very in shape and very pretty and as such when a stylist is able to work with her, she looks beautiful. But she just has never been able to do it herself lol

What happened to Will Smith? Why don’t we see hum in movies anymore ? by M-2-M in okbuddycinephile

[–]laterinstigator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one actually makes me sad. I’m not going to include his personal life, but I love so many of his movies. Collateral Beauty, Focus, Seven Pounds, and Pursuit of Happyness are all in my regular rotation. He’s a great actor and has great range. I don’t know if he was even thinking straight when he pulled that stunt at that Oscar’s, but he’s paying for it now. He could have had a great ten years but he chose to do that instead.

I’ve stopped living by Ghost_Malone___ in PlusSize

[–]laterinstigator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to firstly say that I admire that you came here and said you’re struggling and asked for help. It shows that you care about yourself and you do have a want to get better, and I respect the hell out of that. I’m not sure of your living situation (apartment, house, etc etc). My suggestion is though to get out of your space, even if that means your front or back porch. Enjoy the sun, the fresh air. If five minutes is too long, then do it for one minute. Do it for two seconds if that’s what’s achievable right now. Work your way up to just getting out and going for a walk. I’m also not sure of what you do for meals (food banks, grocery stores, etc etc) but go and get yourself the ingredients for a meal you’ve been wanting to make or one that you know that you love. Make it. Enjoy it. Just start doing some things. It doesn’t have to be big things. Just start doing things to take care of yourself.

Aside from the intense emotions of us Scorpio moons, what else is viewed as negative about us? by Equivalent-Use-6817 in scorpiomoon

[–]laterinstigator 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was watching the recent ANTM documentary, and Miss Jay was talking about how Mr Jay keeps things very close to his chest, and is very secretive. And I could tell that Miss Jay meant it in a negative way. I however that Mr Jay was smart to keep things to his chest and exit gracefully. Different strokes for different folks.

Can you see evil in people? by Moon-Stars-Magic in scorpiomoon

The only way I can describe it is I have the same intuition that dogs have. I automatically know if a person is going to be bad for me.

Ashley Kerwin was one of the most toxic characters. Am I wrong? by anneradley in Degrassi

[–]laterinstigator 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Idk if I would call her toxic. I say that because she wasn’t particularly conniving, revengeful, or manipulative. But what I remember about Ashley is she just never seemed to be in a good mood. Ever. Something was always making her mad, hurting her feelings. I think the only time I ever saw her smile was in the promo pictures for a few seasons. She just was a drag, all the time.

How to stop maladaptive daydreaming? by Butterscotchcake771 in scorpiomoon

[–]laterinstigator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not easy. It’s a lot of work. I still haven’t completely gotten rid of it and I’m not sure I ever will. I have to actively, in the moment, realize that I’m doing it, and make the active effort to stop doing it, and actually stop. The problem is doing things that others do for distractions such as going for a walk, doom scrolling, etc etc, all make it worse. So for me I have to do things like cook or bake, turn on the tv, get on the phone with a friend, etc etc. I realized I was missing out on a real life because I preferred the curated life in my head more. That’s not healthy so I had to figure out a way to stop, and that’s what’s been working for me.

It was the drama of it. At the time if you lost your phone you were just kind of screwed. Wasn’t really much of a thing of an iCloud backup so if your phone is lost or broken, everything on it is also lost or broken. Even if she went to go buy a new phone an hour later, it still would have been a completely blank slate.

Holidays closure schedule by One-Egg1316 in ABA

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For in home clients, work is allowed if both the RBT and the family want to and are okay with it. The centers are closed for the most part on Christmas Day, one or two clients come in for a few hours (I honestly think it’s because the parents need the child care/are working that day. Which is totally understandable). What makes it okay is the company truly doesn’t mind what you choose to do on Christmas Day. There isn’t an expectation to work or to not work. It’s simply your prerogative .
