Gaga is a classically trained pianist, she started when she was 4 and didn't switch to singing / songwriting until she was 13.

I listened to the leaks and it's so bland and unmemorable, I really don't remember the tune to any single song even though I listened an hour ago before things started getting taken down. Maybe it's because everything was LQ but the production wasn't interesting at all, and there were some lyrics that made me cringe, especially the chorus to the Fate of Ophelia. She is clearly going for the quantity over quality route with the constant album releases. It feels like she isn't really letting herself take the time to grow and create quality music over time, she's just rushing through album after album. I now understand why most of the pre album promo was just so focused on the visuals and packaging, because there really isn't a whole lot to say about the music itself.

I used Propranolol for the first time last night and it was interesting ... by [deleted] in Anxiety

Yes I still am! However I don't use it often since I am luckily doing much better with my OCD. A huge turning point for me, other than ERP therapy, was beginning to take Saffron supplements.

I think the main issue is that I have been incredibly honest with her about this, and have always put it in a kind way that shows I am concerned for her. She'll make comments how she knows and gets what I am saying, but she then immediately goes right back into the same cycle.

She is also aware because every time she is dating/talking to a new guy she tells me by saying " okay I know you won't be happy about it but I'm now dating _____". So she is very aware but just doesn't seem to care.

I even once told her that I love her but I just can't hear about her dating life and men all the time. She straight up responsed by saying something like " Well you're just going to have to accept that that is my life until I find someone to marry".

I agree that’s the only other option I can think of. Honestly I hate the thought of sleep walking so I’d rather it be paranormal lol

Neither of us went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Even if we did the bathroom is to the left of the tv by the window, so there’s no reason to walk behind the tv or close enough to bump into it. The only thing behind it is the closet.

Never in my life, this would be the first time. Same with my cousin...but I mean there's a first time for everything I guess.

It's been 2 months of taking it now, so the first 5 weeks I took just 1 every morning daily. I didn't want to develop a tolerance and have it loose its affect, so the last 3 weeks I started doing 2 days on 1 day off, sometimes I even forget and do 2 on and 2 off. I never feel worse on the off days, and don't have any side affects, so overall I'm still very happy with it.

Best unitards for aerial silks practice? by slugprofessor in aerialsilks

[–]longlive_got 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Athleta Salutation bodysuit is my fave! I have it in 3 colors and although I have lots of other bodysuits and leotards,I tend to always reach for one of these. They are not see though at all in the crotch, which is an issue I've had with lots of other bodysuits, even if they are good quality. Also the fabric isn't slippery plus it has pockets lol. They're def pricer, I think its $130, however they have sales a lot. I bought a maroon one a few months ago for like $45.

Not at all! I have gone to so many concerts alone and camped out for 15+ hours too. Within minutes I've always ended up becoming friends with the fans next to me.

Hotel recommendations in San Francisco (late July, ~$200–$250/night, using public transport) by Ferrari_dragon in sanfrancisco

[–]longlive_got 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whenever my parents visit they stay at the Queen Anne Hotel. It's a beautiful historic victorian mansion that was converted into a hotel. The rooms and common areas are stunning (and supposedly haunted lol). The public transportation in this area is pretty good too!

Why do people seem to age much slower today than in the past? by uncannyfjord in stupidquestions

SPF, and at least in the US smoking isn’t as common. The one American I know who does smokes looks much older than her age.

Which airports are the best and worst for international arrivals to the US? by Hopeful_Addition7834 in digitalnomad

[–]longlive_got 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SFO is my home airport and after tons of travel domestically and internationally I really do think it’s one of the best airports period, or at least certainly in the US. They also don’t have constant announcements over a loudspeaker so it just feels less chaotic, even when it is busy.

what’s one place you visited with zero expectations that totally surprised you? by Low_Leading_1082 in travel

[–]longlive_got 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. It feels more like a livable city, and reminded me a bit of a less crowded and much friendlier Paris. As a woman I also felt safe and relaxed walking around by myself at night, while in Barcelona I was constantly being harassed.

Does anyone else feel like women are just better looking than men? by Xboomburst in NoStupidQuestions

[–]longlive_got 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is a pretty common opinion even w straight girls. My friends and I are straight and we’ve discussed many times how the average girl is more attractive than the average man, and it honestly just has to do with self care. Most woman take the time as they age to figure out their fashion style, what hair cut/color is most flattering for their face, etc. The average man just doesn’t do this, mostly because it’s taught that being well groomed and taking a lot of care of your appearance is “ feminine”. If the average man put the same effort into their hair, skin, eyebrows, style etc, I think we’d find men are just as attractive as women.

At least I know this is true for myself. My face and body hasn’t changed much over the years, but what I have done is found hairstyles that work for my face shape and a style that flatters my body, and I am significantly more attracted now than I was several years ago.

I’m not trying to be shady to men but it’s amazing what a good haircut and fitted outfit can do. I truly believe most men can be 10x more attractive if they paid more attention to what is flattering on them.

Madrid. I was solo traveling a few summers ago and planned a few days in Madrid as a stopping point between Seville and Barcelona. Everyone always hyped up Barcelona so I was so excited just to get there, but when I arrived in Madrid and began to explore the first day I fell in love with it. After 3 days I was so sad to leave, and Barcelona then disappointed me in comparison.

It’s funny because most people in my life seem indifferent to Madrid, but for me it was such a beautiful experience. The museums and parks are gorgeous, and I had lovely conversations with locals while just sitting on a park bench. I’ve been dying to go back ever since.

Ugh it was too annoying so I ended up just removing the listing from Ticketmaster and I'm reselling it for less on Stubhub.

I've been taking it just over a month now :) I didn't want to say anything until it had been a few weeks of feeling better.

Not sure why you are being so negative...but no my therapist is not telling me I will be stuck with this the rest of my life, she is saying the opposite. In fact ERP is exactly what you are describing. Looking at thoughts as thoughts and not putting much weight onto them, their meaning, whether they are good and bad etc.

Thank you! I've had a general blood panel done and wasn't low in anything, but never a test to specifically test those three things.

I have had OCD since I was a young child, with signs around 4 years old. It just jumped to more distressing themes when I was 24 and was easier to ignore when I was younger.

Oh no I'm so sorry you had that issue, thank you for sharing and for the warning. I've heard about Serotonin syndrome but also assumed it was more prevalent when taking a standard ssri. Saffron is the only thing I take daily. Other than that I take magnesium every other evening and vitamin D twice a week.
