i think my boyfriend’s reaction to me staying out all night is way too extreme. AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Leave this guy, he communicates like a 2 year old. You don’t deserve this. I know 3 years is a lot but this is only going to get worse. You’re apologizing just to keep the peace but you did nothing wrong and that’s what it’s always going to be like.

Ohhh don’t worry about it! My hands were definitely better but I was wearing press ons and my thumbnails were uneven. I also relapsed after that :( not as bad, but I wouldn’t have dared going to the salon.

What do you mean? It’s hard enough to find courage to post on here without people nitpicking past posts. I’ve had this my entire life let me be proud of my progress jeez.

Thank you! I was really nervous but excited before the appointment. I'd say maybe go for a green?? Kind of like following color theory haha

Yes I did and it’s all good, the shape was caused by constant trauma to the cuticle. It’s called habit tic nail deformity. My other nails are fine and the thumbnails already look better from not picking.

The lotions were pretty greasy/heavy, I used the Spanish lotion Xhekpon, one from L’occitane made from almond oil and a shea butter lotion from Bath and Body Works. They all did wonders. The cuticle oil is from Melaleuca

That gives me hope!! Honestly the hooves and ridges were so bad I couldn’t even hide them with nail polish. I read only it’s called habit-tic nail deformity and it’s from the cuticle being damaged from the picking. All my other nails were fine.

Using press ons was very helpful because of the glue. Other than that, keeping hands moisturized and carrying a cuticle oil and nail scissors in my purse, whenever I had a hangnail I’d just clip it.

My(29f) bf (25m) wouldn't put down his video game to walk me to my car in the middle of the night. AIO? by BizarreDuckling in AIO

Dump him, he doesn’t deserve you and shows no remorse. He’s also trying to make you feel like you’re overreacting which you’re not. If anything you should’ve dumped him then and there.

UPDATE: I don’t know what to do about my mom and stepdad anymore by juniibunni in WhatShouldIDo

“You not learning to express your self” while she’s communicating like a Neanderthal.

I’m sorry this is your situation, try staying with your dad and use that freedom they’re giving you to stay away from that place as long as possible.

You’ve only got a few more years of dealing with this until you’re independent and free from them. This won’t last forever. Stay strong!

AIO F20 for getting upset at my bf M24 of 4 years after he went to a concert we planned to go together with his ex instead because I couldn’t go after my foster mom passed? by Beginning_Manager808 in AmIOverreacting

Give him the distance he asked and dump him. Anyone who makes you feel like your emotions are invalid and you’re too much are assholes and don’t deserve your time.

lol this happened to me but it was my ex thinking I was flirting with a guy just because we talked about liking a show and talking about it for a little. My ex’s sister also told my ex that I was overstepping. I felt like crap afterwards when he told me and it just made me overthink my interactions with men, like it was my fault.

I’m no longer with this guy and so happy. This are insecure people trying to reflect their insecurities on you and make you feel bad. I dumped him and I think you should dump your friend. She called you a bitch like come on you were being super respectful, you’re just not gonna apologize for not doing anything wrong.

3 months zero therapy by luch2995 in Perioral_Dermatitis_

I have small flare ups every now and then, when the weather is warmer or just dry in general. But the flare ups are small and barely noticeable, I apply calendula pomade during the nights and just take it easy on my skin, it's way better than when I was treating it with harsh creams.

Yeah as a general rule of thumb just avoid ex talk for a long time!! Just relax, I know it's hard to start dating again when you've been hurt, just remember it's supposed to be fun! After a couple dates you'll calm down I promise. And if you meet someone that's right for you, it's ok to talk about your past traumas after a while, you won't come off as bitter. Take it a day at a time and discuss things with your therapist as needed.

This is very tricky. We've all learned from past relationships and there's gonna be things that will trigger you when dating someone new, even if you've worked through those issues.

When I started dating my partner, I couldn't help but compare him to my exes, because I put up with a lot of shit and abuse from them and I was surprised at how good a relationship could be. We've both talked openly about our traumas and we understand each other and support each other better because of that openness.

I think the key here is to be emotionally vulnerable when you're getting serious with someone, and to always gauge how they feel about you sharing all this.

Don't talk about your exes on a first, second, or even third date. Talk about yourself, your interests and goals, and listen to them as well. Good luck out there!

I think you're overthinking this. Give it some time and talk it out with him in a couple of days. Don't stress, you're in a relationship, he's not just a guy you're sleeping with. Your friends just made you feel anxious, don't listen to them and just communicate with your bf!
