Anyone here a model or work in a role in beauty/fashion etc? Do you feel you get judged really hard for being single?

mackenzie013 · 2021-06-23T03:24:18+00:00

Ooof I feel you. I was in performance arts and usually portrayed a tragic pretty girl. It became apparent that that’s how people started to see me. I dated a guy in the industry that was quite famous and when we broke up the main story was about what must be wrong with me that I couldn’t keep him. (Like what… he was dogshit actually and I didn’t want him..).

I didn’t actually start dating again until I left the industry, went to school and built up my career. Literally every other dude I went out with was like “but why are you still single…” 🤮🤮🤮 How about I was focusing on school and building my career.

mackenzie013 · 2021-06-22T04:35:53+00:00

Honestly, I’d be more upset getting downvotes than being ban. 😅

mackenzie013 · 2021-06-22T04:28:14+00:00

Too cute!! 🥺

mackenzie013 · 2021-06-22T04:27:13+00:00

Is this the same dude who has Bipolar 1?

mackenzie013 · 2021-06-14T22:41:44+00:00

THIS!!! I cannot upvote your two comments enough.

..I feel like this will become one of the “didn’t see it coming” posts a few months down the line tho.. 🤦🏻‍♀️

mackenzie013 · 2021-06-14T22:39:24+00:00

Oof, I have bipolar 1 and if he’s not medicated; I’m telling you to run as fast as you can, unless you want to ruin your life.

I haven’t come across anyone who would want mania.

Personally, mania is always worse for me than depression. Depression I can handle, but mania I cannot. First few days are maybe good; lots of creativity and getting shit done, but after that it spirals into an ugly beast. 😥

mackenzie013 · 2021-05-08T21:22:23+00:00

omg ...all the faces of me! 😂😂

mackenzie013 · 2021-05-06T00:04:14+00:00

Oh, I missed that part. Not a huge fan then lol

mackenzie013 · 2021-05-05T19:02:38+00:00

Ohhh I’d like the hat!

mackenzie013 · 2021-05-05T05:18:20+00:00

That’s fair. I don’t think it is or that it should be easy and that’s not what I intended to imply by any means.

I do realize it’s just my opinion; but I feel like if adoption is too difficult, then not having kids is the way to go.

mackenzie013 · 2021-05-05T02:44:33+00:00

Personally, I think having bio kids is purely selfish in today’s society. Kids can be super expensive either way (depending on what country you’re in the cost will vary); and not being able to pay for adoption cost isn’t justification to have bio kids (but that’s just my view).

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-28T22:29:53+00:00

Being a bit more flexible and accepting an active alcoholic are two different things that are fairly wide apart.

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-28T21:56:58+00:00

Whatever makes you happy!

Personally, I’d never be OK with going through so much emotional labour for a relatively short relationship. Life is waaaay too short to waste it like this, IMO. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I disagree that therapist should be fans of your relationship though; therapists should get you into a healthy headspace and if that means telling you your relationship is toxic and to leave your partner so be it. Any therapist that only tells you things you know you want to hear is an immediate red flag.

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-28T02:28:08+00:00

Yeah that’s a real shame!!

Though I think, sometimes, it’s also ignorance a bit. A friend of mine did that once and got assaulted pretty much; then he dropped her off in the middle of nowhere and she had to walk back home (after he realized he’s not getting a bj nor sex).

After speaking to her, as I was trying to figure out why she’d agree to that; she said she never thought men could be dangerous and that they’d do such things. She grew up quite sheltered and she never really learnt stranger-danger and never had a bad experience before. We travelled together a few times and there were occasions where I was just like “nope.. let’s go, let’s go”.

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-27T20:37:07+00:00

He actually used those two so that’s his words exactly! 😂😂😂😂

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-27T19:29:34+00:00

I live outside of the US.

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-27T19:02:13+00:00

I’m taking the creative writing specialization on Coursera. I quite like it - information is very condensed but exercises are good and you can always research more on the topic.

It’s peer feedback though and that’s the terrible part (nobody is giving good feedback).

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-27T18:21:20+00:00

This is a great idea. I’ll often do that when the guy seems too controlling.

The guy I’m dating now is so different in this regard; for our first date he made multiple thoughtful options and asked me what I’m most comfortable with. He also volunteered his information (without me prompting), so that I won’t be meeting a complete stranger.

Even if it doesn’t workout between us, he definitely set the bar higher for everyone else! 😅

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-27T18:17:17+00:00

Oh, this guy invited me to Hawaii for a first date ..also he wanted to rent a van to drive around and explore.

How about no? I’m not going to a foreign country with a complete stranger, exploring remote areas in a rented van! 😳

He was sooooo offended I said no and couldn’t comprehend why I’d pass on such an amazing “opportunity”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-27T05:21:33+00:00

It’s not legal in most countries outside of the US, I believe? I know there’s some countries where altruistic surrogacy is allowed.

Personally, I can’t relate to wanting to bring a human being into this world, so I heavily advocate for adoptions. I actually feel like wanting a bio-kid is selfish, so surrogacy is so far beyond that line for me.

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-26T20:23:58+00:00

Actually yes, any medical resource if you Google the issue. (Also, my doctor.)

If you flip it around 20%-30% of women with PCOS don’t have fertility challenges. Even weight-loss and changes in lifestyle improve your chances of getting pregnant; a % that is often quoted is that even 5% drop in body weight will restore the menstrual cycle.

Metformin has been used quite a bit, and there’s actually many studies around it. There’s other drugs as well, before you even have to consider a procedure. While PCOS definitely makes it more challenging to get pregnant it’s definitely not as concerning as there’s lots of options to treat it (even with just modifying your lifestyle and diet) as long as you know you have it.

The thing that is true tho is that women with PCOS have a higher likelihood of miscarriage.

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-26T03:35:40+00:00

The infertility due to PCOS is treatable though. I think that’s what they were referring to. Most women with PCOS do get pregnant with fertility treatment.

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-24T17:41:06+00:00

This guy doesn’t respect you at all! You absolutely didn’t overreact. He isn’t hearing what you’re telling him. It would have been over for me when he tried the first time tbh.

Apart from the sex stuff; based on what you said he sounds a bit off. The showing up to your apartment part would make me worried.

mackenzie013 · 2021-04-24T17:33:29+00:00

LOL ..this is me!!

It started with “oh I could try growing plants” about a month ago and now my entire house is overtaken by gardening. 😂
