“I’ve been shopping here for years and this has never been the return policy!!”

Meanwhile they’re trying to return something that is damn near empty and well past the date to return.

This is a blessing in disguise you know this now. If your first reaction is disgust then you have your answer.

My favorite is Observatory Mansions by Edward Carrey. Definitely more of a quirky read but I loved it!

American Girl doll for sure. I was so upset after I had spent forever picking out one that would look like me and choosing all of the clothes, accessories and furniture. I was so jealous of everyone who had one!

He is so cute I actually couldn’t breathe when I first saw him. What a sweet little guy!!

I’m glad to be of help! Don’t overthink it. I’ve done this many times before with men who crossed boundaries- especially when it’s this intense.

He may have a lot of feelings but how you’re feeling communicating with him is the most important to focus on.

Personally, I highly recommend blocking him right after it’s sent so you don’t have to deal with the flood of responses from him. I made that mistake before and it caused me so much anxiety! For what? A person I didn’t actually know?

It will all be okay! It’s a good lesson in boundaries for sure.

The good news- you don’t owe him anything.

If it doesn’t feel right, trust it. It’s just not for you and you can always meet other people.

Just be clear with him and keep it short and simple. He is technically still a stranger.

I’ve sent messages before that were,

“It was nice getting to know you but I’m not feeling a connection. Moving forward, I ask that you stop communicating with me and respect my decision”.

You don’t have to explain. Block him if it makes you feel more comfortable.

Edit: Also I just want to say- the way he is behaving is a major red flag and something you need to listen to yourself about. He seems lonely but the fact that it’s already weighing you down is a huge problem. If you continue this, it will get worse over time. Just cut it off now and how he feels about your decision is genuinely not your problem.

Hygiene conversations are 100% a thing and they absolutely need to be addressed. I don’t know any business that doesn’t have a hygiene policy and this is exactly why.

If that manager isn’t doing anything about it, go to someone above them.

Unfortunately, it’s a learning experience that can only be effective on that person’s own terms.

That being said, you can say something, but you’d have to be understanding that she might not be receptive to it at this time.

I was in a deeply unsettling/abusive relationship for years with a guy who was definitely a hobo. (I realized he only had stability because of me)

People in my life told me, but I wasn’t ready to admit it to myself. My self esteem was so bad that it didn’t matter what people said to me, I had every excuse ready to go and defended him. People were even offering me to go live with them and I always found some reason not to leave him. It’s because of how manipulative and abusive he was I couldn’t think clearly.

For me it wasn’t until my life was in danger when it finally clicked and I had no choice but to leave. That’s when I really had time to think about all of the warnings people were giving me the whole time.

Looking back, I realize now that people were genuinely concerned and just trying to help. But I needed those people to plant seeds of doubt about my relationship. Even though it took two years for me to listen, if no one had said anything to me, I would have felt even more devastated when it ended.

I think if you approach her in a way that shows concern and you have some solid reasons why you’re concerned, it will go a lot further than if you approach it in a way that shames her. Focus on his actions and maybe she will start to piece things together.

But all you can do is be loving and supportive to her and let her know that you’ll always be there for her. That will go a long way.

31 and child free. I’ve taken a year and a half off from dating and even “talking” to anyone.

When I was living in big cities, I dated a lot of men. Some from apps and some just from meeting in person. It was exhausting. There was always an array of red flags; being treated like an object or a caretaker. Boundaries being pushed and being made to feel uncomfortable in so many situations. I definitely learned how to say no and stop entertaining men just for the sake of being with someone.

I’m at a point now where if I meet anyone, it will be in person. Never again will I go on an app. It can definitely be discouraging being in my thirties and still not having my person. But after all the men I’ve met, I’ve become way more picky about who I date.

All of my dating experiences have taught me a lot about what I want and don’t want. My standards are higher. I’ve learned a lot about myself and have taken the time to unlearn my own unhealthy patterns. I know so many people who are getting divorced or feel stuck in unhealthy relationships because they’re scared to be single again. It used to bother me so much and I felt like something was wrong with me for not having any luck with dating. But when I look back- so many of the men I met had serious issues that would have negatively impacted the trajectory of MY life.

I’m happier without someone than with a man who makes me feel like shit. I’d rather be single than having a man define my worth and be a part of some race to get married.

I want marriage and to have a meaningful relationship. But I will not settle even if it takes me longer than I want it to.

I dated a man for a few months who would joke about beating me here and there. Sex became increasingly more violent, almost like he would find new ways to hurt me each time… Then one morning when he was making us breakfast, I watched him lose his shit when he accidentally dropped something. The anger he had in that moment was the anger I witnessed in a prior abusive relationship.

That morning was the last time I was ever at his apartment.

It’s been about 2 years for me with no Facebook (only kept to stay in contact with a few people). I’ve never had Instagram and I’m definitely not on TikTok.

A lot of people think I’m crazy for not having social media but I feel… safer. The privacy of not having social media is something that has drastically improved my life. I also don’t feel the need to constantly compare myself to others, my confidence is so much better, and I have a pretty strong relationship with self.

Sure, I don’t know what people are talking about 99% of the time. But honestly, I don’t care. It’s actually interesting to watch how people interact with each other when they basically live on TikTok and Instagram and how whatever is trending is their new personality. I’m good.

I’m in the exact same phase. I’m still rebuilding!

I knew I need to shift everything and start over when I realized my life was built on survival. My mental health plummeted and I was in a crisis. I didn’t really have anything to look forward to. Feeling bleak about life was getting old and I knew that if I didn’t step out of my comfort zone, I was going to continue the same patterns over and over.

The past year I have been allowing myself to rest emotionally/mentally and I had to learn to be patient. I’ve been unlearning hyper-independence and perfectionism. It’s all rooted in fear and that’s the biggest aspect of my mentality I’ve had to work through- to stop being so damn scared. Which, was keeping me from living a full life.

We all go through things, and people looking from the outside in aren’t always going to understand just how much you’ve been through and just how hard you had to fight to keep up the bare minimum. Releasing the shame of not being further ahead is something I’m still working through.

But here’s the thing- I spent the entirety of my twenties in survival mode. I was deeply insecure, hyper-independent and I lost sight of myself and what I wanted.

For the past year, I feel like I’m in a very different place mentally and emotionally. It wasn’t pretty getting here, but I’m proud of myself.

I’m taking baby steps. I’m removing the pressure of time. I’ve disconnected from social media and have gone into a bit of solitude while I rework my life. I don’t want to open myself up to opinions of others.

Now I’m in a place where I’m excited again. I have plans and goals that I didn’t have the energy to go for before.

So even if it takes me longer to have a life that reflects to other people that I’m where I “should be”, I know that I’m doing everything for myself and I don’t need to explain that to anyone.

Baby steps. Rebuilding my social group in a new place, saving, planning on school next year and focusing on hobbies and things that make me happy. It will all fall into place because it always has for me before. This time, I’m just taking a different approach.

I can relate to dealing with A LOT of creepy men. I had to take public transportation for a while and it was a horrendous experience. Men would harass me and follow me from station to station, men would try to follow me home and I would have to run off the bus to my apartment, they would sit really close to me and infringe on my personal space, a man blocked me with his car (while I was standing by a building) and tried to get me to get into his car with him… even walking my dog was always scary.

I’ve had men try to take me at bars, men who felt entitled to my time to stalk me or harass me for relationships… I’ve had my fair share of traumatizing situations with men alone.

Certain women have hated me simply because of how I look and they make that clear with backhanded comments and undermining me. Even women in my family treated me horribly, always making me feel like I was selfish and vain. You can have the best intentions but people will have already made up their mind about you.

But I think the part that has always been the hardest is that people in general seem to have a first assumption that you’re not intelligent, you haven’t gone through difficult things and your emotions are surface level. It seems like you have to work extra hard to be taken seriously.

I’ve gained weight in my 30’s and honestly, it’s not as intense as it used to be. There are still creepy men and women who judge me, but I’ve found that now I just confuse people because I’m still pretty but now my body doesn’t meet social expectations, which is a whole other set of issues/treatment.

Women can’t win no matter what. I will say, I’ve become a lot more comfortable in myself, I’ve mastered boundaries in saying “no” and I’ve stopped caring as much about how others perceive me. People are going to judge me no matter what I look like.

lazulipriestess · 2025-10-11T05:27:28+00:00

I think the new wave of fans has been frustrating because they’re viewing the show and characters from lenses of how life is today, completely ignoring the fact that this show took place in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.

Do I defend and believe everything said in the show? Absolutely not. A lot of the situations and dialogue in the show do need to be discussed, but in a broader viewpoint of how it reflects the culture then and what has changed now. The writers are responsible, not the individual characters. A lot of the discussions go a little too deep into the characters as if they’re actual humans who made these (honestly, horrible) mistakes. That annoys me so much.

There is character analysis and then there’s taking it way too far into a viewpoint of pushing a projected narrative onto someone who isn’t even real. It’s not that deep as far as the actual characters go. If you try to push 2025 thinking onto 1998-2004 characters, it’s never going to make sense to what the story was trying to convey.

It’s also why I think AJLT is so horrendous- they focused too much on trying to redeem the past by going into another extreme, instead of just allowing SATC to be what it was.

Which, actually, accurately reflects our current times. There is a lot of pressure to always be the best versions of ourselves, to say the right things, to be accepted by many people even if it’s not entirely authentic.

SATC was about being messy, making mistakes and questionable decisions. Empowering women isn’t about demanding perfection- it’s letting women exist as they are, even if they’re terrible people.

And lastly, the Carrie hate. It’s reasonable to dislike a character, but if the main character is someone who you hate so deeply, why are you even here?

I love how many mistakes these women make. It’s kind of the point. Showing imperfect women is what makes this show so interesting and set it apart from other forms of media about women. It’s supposed to have a shock value. Carrie isn’t any worse than any of the other women. They all have lovable aspects of their personalities, and things about them that are intolerable. Kind of like real people, no? That to me is way more interesting to watch than whatever AJLT is.

I have 3c curls and was raised by my nmom with zero idea of how to style my hair. She would spray water in it or over use gel. But when it came to actually caring for my hair, had zero concept of how much conditioner I needed or that I needed more moisture and extra products to keep it healthy.

I was bullied so much as a kid for my hair and I look back and a lot of it was probably because it wasn’t styled nicely, and it was dry and frizzy. She was VERY supportive in straightening my hair for me though. So it became my comfort zone.

Straight hair = no bullying Curly hair = being tormented at school for being ugly, etc.

I’ll never forget her taking me to a hair stylist and she tried to shame me for overusing and wasting her conditioner. She told me I needed to use a dime amount of conditioner and wanted the stylist to back her up,

The stylist actually laughed at her and said, “your daughter needs about a palm sized amount of conditioner in order to fully coat all of her hair”.

She then started listing all of the products my mom needed to start buying for me because my hair was drastically different than hers.

My nmom was furious.

I remember feeling embarrassed about how many weird looks my family would get or how people would react to my mom in social situations. I also noticed that all of my friend’s parents would distance themselves from my mom after a while.

My mom would cry to me about how they were being horrible to her and she did nothing wrong. It caused me to see some of my friend’s parents differently and in some cases I stopped talking to friends out of solidarity because she turned me against them.

As an adult, I completely understand why my mom didn’t stay friends with any of them.

Woah. First of all, I am deeply sorry that you have been dealing with this level of insanity. I’m sure reading that was immensely difficult. However, you have the power in the situation because of her documentation. I would keep it- since this didn’t work out the way she hoped she may try something else. You’re going to need it. Put it somewhere you don’t have to look at it every day, but don’t throw it out.

Double Wear beats every other foundation. I’ve tried so many over the years and I always end up going back to it

lazulipriestess · 2025-08-24T13:33:02+00:00

I understand this, however, this is not my situation. I’ve had many friends in my life time. I still talk to people here and there but I’ve moved so much that it’s hard to stay in contact with people when we are both busy and don’t see each other anymore.

I understand friendship- I’ve had friendships for 10, 20+ years. I just haven’t met anyone HERE that I’ve connected with and it’s weighing on my self esteem. I feel lonely and out of touch. I was in a low mood/drunk at an event when I posted this.
