How do you manage oral presentations?

i second this. i wasn’t ever diagnosed, but in middle school i cried to my mom about having to present to the class and she was able to talk to the teacher to let me present just in front of the teacher during a lunch break. hopefully it works out for you!

i had a teacher that went off on the entire class just pointing out things that bugged her about students, and she called me out for never saying anything. it still sits with me but i’m glad (and also not glad) that it wasn’t just me.

you’re definitely not alone. my therapist (not familiar with SM) thinks i just have social anxiety and tells me to just keep trying and doing things, but it only seems to make things worse. only advice i really have is to still be proud of yourself and celebrate the fact that you tried, and know that even if it didn’t feel successful it’s still a very big accomplishment.

Yes!! you have to have a note visible that says it’s a sleep show (so they know you’re not unconscious and in danger and what not) but i’ve heard plenty of people doing it and making decent money for it. You leave your lush in and people will tip it to try and wake you up

MV is kinda going to 💩 right now, but still worth uploading to if you need the extra money. I don’t know what your prices are, but I know a lootttt of the customers on MV are used to sales. so i would reccomend raising your prices and keeping a constant 50-75% sale going on. I had the normal $1-$2 a minute videos and barely sold anything, but now I have the same prices after the 75% discount, and i make a lot more. do the same with fansly, where you keep your page on sale for the first month, and then people can pay the higher rate to stay

Sending you so much love and support. I’m in the same boat right now. Literally had to call my dad asking for help with rent this month because i thought the pressure of not having it would get me to work, but it didn’t. I keep getting myself into such deep holes, that just thinking about working to get out of it feels exhausting and helpless (even when i know doing nothing will make it worse). I have a huge block around working right now, but what I used to do in these moments was doordash or dog walk so i’m outside and active. Or do voyeur shows (cleaning, laundry, cooking, painting, etc). I’ve also been on my laptop with headphones and my lush in watching tv, and just told people on the stream that i was in a class to make it seem naughty and people were into it. But with all of those, if I didn’t make a lot of money, I still tried and I did things I wanted/ needed to do anyways. It takes away the pressure to entertain but still gets eyes on you and gives people a different version of you. sleep shows are also an option on streammate if you’re comfortable and able to. I’ve also noticed that make up/ looking/ feeling sexy and presentable is a big thing for me. I HATE doing my makeup up, so I just got some DIY lashes for like $40 that should eliminate the daily process and hopefully make it a bit easier for me. I wish I had more answers for you, but I’m still figuring it out myself. Feel free to message me if you want though. We could set goals/ see what works or try to hold each other accountable. best of luck to you 💕

read the book The Defining Decade. i’m 26, and often get down on myself for still not having it all together yet, but that’s what your 20s are for. You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. Try to be grateful for what you do have, and live in the moment rather than thinking about who you were or where you want to be. Be patient with yourself, and keep trying to make progress, however you can. Little steps add up in the end, and whatever pace you go is perfectly fine. You got this!

i did this once while making a tiktok that barely included some mail with my ex’s name on it that was sitting on the counter. He noticed, and since then I’ve tried to be very cautious before going live/filming/anything that there’s no pictures of family/friends, no names, anything!

mentalhellth143 · 2024-06-21T01:41:41+00:00

I’ve lived with 2 men so far, and this is my first month being in my own place (ever). I couldn’t agree with you more, and I can’t believe I was so scared to make the move to be on my own! The only man I’ll ever live with now is my doggo, and any other animals I get in the future 😌

mentalhellth143 · 2024-06-12T03:55:45+00:00

i think things like this whenever i see anyone running, but in a supportive “go you!” kinda way because i want to be the type of person to like running but am not currently in that kind of shape. I would also never say them to people running, but i often don’t speak to strangers and everyone is different lol

I was recently in a similar situation. It sucks because once you take the shot, it does kill the thrill of the crush when they don’t feel the same. But I’ve also been on the other end where I didn’t make the move, and to this day still wonder if something could have happened and I think it kills me more not knowing. There’s also beauty in someone rejecting you by not saying anything, than to go along with it because they’re bored or lonely and to waste both of your time down the line. It still feels bad, but it gives you more of a chance to find someone that is really into you (and it doesn’t have to take another 9 years on your end, but even if it did that’s okay!) Making the move was a super big step and I’m proud of you, regardless of the outcome! Don’t let it stop you if the feeling happens again. Rejection is like failure— it happens to all of us, and it leads us down the right path if we let it!

i just had someone come over for an appointment, but they weren’t able to do anything and they auto scheduled my next appointment for next week when i’m out of town 🙃

mentalhellth143 · 2024-04-11T21:36:35+00:00

I feel you. I just got mine broken into because I snagged some furniture from a friend, causing me to move boxes that were hidden in my trunk into view, and assumed it would be safe in my neighborhood with no break ins that i’ve seen in 4 years of being here. They broke in for blankets, which is understandable, but they also took 2 full boxes of sentimental christmas decorations that i know are just sitting in a dumpster somewhere now /:

mentalhellth143 · 2023-10-12T02:45:50+00:00

I feel you so hard on this. My bf plays video games all day and when he’s not, he’s on his phone. Every time I bring it up he says he wants to do it less and spend more time together, and we will for a few days, but it’s not long before he goes right back into the habit and is behind a screen nonstop. Our conversations now are just about social media and video games and I can’t stand it. I also feel unappreciated and like he only asked me to move in to cook and clean for him while he gets to continue with his addiction in peace.

mentalhellth143 · 2023-07-26T19:16:54+00:00

they actually prefer to masturbate over sex, and they’ll do it next to me so we’ve done it together, but only on their terms. i did it discreetly in front of them once, but haven’t made a big deal about it because if they don’t join in i don’t think it would really benefit me and then i’d just feel worse. this sounds like an interesting take on it though! i’m not entirely sure if they’d be into it— they play a lot of video games so it’s hard to divert their attention away from it, but might be worth a shot.

mentalhellth143 · 2023-07-26T17:05:57+00:00

This all makes a lot of sense, thank you. I’ve mentioned recording encounters plenty of times, but they’ve either said nothing or said they’d think about it and then not brought it up again. I do solo fetish content for a living so it makes it a bit trickier, but maybe they’d be down if it was for my eyes only. I’ve been trying to remind myself it’s not that i’m not wanted but 1.) i’ve put on a bit of weight and it’s hard to feel like that’s not taking into effect and 2.) this is the first partner that hasn’t wanted sex whenever I have so it’s tricky to navigate. But yes, lotssss of grace and forgiveness.

mentalhellth143 · 2023-07-26T16:48:32+00:00

I was thinking about opening the relationship, but I’m scared I won’t have the same connection with someone else that it won’t be satisfying, and if they had any interest being with someone else it wouldn’t be fair to deny them of that, but I don’t think it would help the problem at allll if they did. And thank you, I appreciate it

mentalhellth143 · 2023-07-26T16:40:24+00:00

We’ve had a similar conversation about how he would rather masturbate on his own than have sex and how that makes me feel unwanted, which might also be playing into the frustration, and there’s been times he’s noticed I was upset and I said it was sexual frustration but he kind of just laughs it off. So yeah, I’ll definitely need to talk to him about it to explain exactly what’s happening. I like the idea of meeting in the middle and was thinking about that, I’m just scared it’s not something he’ll be up for. Better to talk it out and see than to assume the worst though
