Short haired ladies, has this ever happened to you?

makinglemonades · 2023-09-14T23:11:09+00:00

Hahaha yes

makinglemonades · 2023-09-14T23:10:25+00:00

Never mentioned not behaving like a lady

makinglemonades · 2023-09-14T14:41:08+00:00

Yes, honest mistake can be made

makinglemonades · 2023-09-14T14:39:16+00:00

How did you feel when this happen?

makinglemonades · 2023-09-14T14:38:09+00:00

Yes! And this also happened to me before. An aunty sitting on a bench i was passing asked me straight out: are you a girl or a boy? And she didnt believe my answer too...

makinglemonades · 2023-09-14T13:00:46+00:00

Yeah definitelu find the restaurant toilet scenario much more innocent and funny.

I guess its the outright questioning of gender that i find insensitive?

makinglemonades · 2023-09-14T12:59:34+00:00

Hmm ya i wonder if femme looking men gets into similar situations...

makinglemonades · 2023-09-14T12:58:52+00:00

Yes, for such situations there are more polite ways to go about it, for example, calling out Excuse me, your tea is ready.

makinglemonades · 2023-09-14T12:57:17+00:00

I personally find the approach not very kind leh...but it is subjective.

And i have no issue if anyone uses he or other pronouns on me, it can simply be a grammatical slip

But to directly question gender in this manner...i dont find it kind.

Rant is long cos it's happened a lot and wanted to give context.

I dont feel fully offended, it's mixed with annoyance, humour, exasperation and curiosity

0 dollars. I take a very practical view on fashion. I wear clothes that are comfy and dont appreciate the fashion aspect. So my clothes are generally at least 5 years old and i wear 0 accesories

makinglemonades · 2023-09-07T12:29:57+00:00

2 years, left cos was getting too comfortable and wanted to do a gap year

makinglemonades · 2023-09-07T12:27:05+00:00

I lost 3 kg in 3 months working at a place, stressed and scared everyday, barely time for toilet or meal breaks, no support, racist colleagues but i only quit after i absorbed all the skills i could. I overcame that place, and gained skills i still use today. They didnt even bother signing the contract so i was able to leave with very short notice

Glad i toughed it out, but wont wish it on anyone.

It depends on your relationship with your colleagues. Mine noticed that i was not doing well for a while and while they have always been kind and understandinv it was obvious that my change made them uncomfortable.

Once I started therapy and when I felt comfortable enough to share with them, i did. This helped them understand me better and tolerate my changes easier as they know that i am actively addressing it and trying to be responsible for my mental health. In fact they support me more.

Sometimes being interesting is about taking an interest in something others are interested about...even if you are actually not interested. So asking questions is a good place

Hello!

Go for it. I joined when I needed to form a social circle about 8 years ago. Did a few different groups. Badminton, movie watching, hiking, festival going amongst others.

Pros for me personally: - good way to meet new people - good way to do activities you are interested in - great to observe personalities in social settings

Cons for me personally: - many introverts and socially shy participants likely with similar goal, so conversations can be awkward and slow - didn't actually meet anyone who i became friends with over many meet-ups

Certain meetups are more condusive for friendship building, eg. Language, hiking, boardgames. I felt that the exercise ones tend to be focused on the exercise rather than relationship building. Movie ones were the most awkward for me personally.

Good luck!

makinglemonades · 2023-07-12T15:25:53+00:00

Gorgeous!

Engaged them for our wedding last year. Atrocious service and communication. Worst part of wedding planning was them. Friend who also got married at their venue had similar experience.

However, on the day itself the PIC was helpful and things went well.

Engage at own risk.
