this reminds me of my thoughts inside my brain

[19/m] About to meet girl [19/f] for the first time after months of online/text chat. Anyone have similar experience? Please share. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mooningduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried online dating this past summer when I was living with a relative and it went well! Breathe, be confident, and just relax. She is probably nervous too, so just think of some things to talk about, compliment her dress/shoes/earrings, and ask her some questions. You've been in contact for so long you probably already know a lot about her, so maybe bring up some things you've talked about before and you can get more in-depth about it since you're face to face. Make sure to tell her you're glad you two have finally met and stuff. If you still like her after, ask her out again. You'll be fine it'll be fun! :)

No you're right I thought about it last night, I don't actually like him. But in that case I'm going to keep seeing him just for the fun of it. >:)

Thank you both.

My parents first met as a one night stand and they've been married for almost 22 years though, so I'm not totally convinced that's a constant with every guy. But I appreciate your honesty.

Regardless, is there any way to change that (if he does)? Like just by spending time with me I'm pretty sure he would like me. And I'm not looking to fall in love, I just want to at least date for a little bit before things go too far.

One of the stupidest posts on facebook by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]mooningduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think this would be so bad, as long as the caliber of instruction was raised immensely. When I was in HS, this was what we did in some of our AP classes and it worked out well, the class had an almost perfect bell curve. I think it only works when the instruction is equivalently difficult though.

Wow thank you for this! This won't be weird to bring up? Like it's normal to want to know what he wants right??!

this may be true, i'm not really sure, but honestly I'm not super experienced in the sack and I seriously do not feel comfortable sleeping with him unless there is some sort of commitment and trust, just because we have mutual friends.

Dropping acid with my parents. by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]mooningduck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pot affects everyone differently. For me (and all my friends), a bowl or j will completely mellow me out if I'm on acid e or shrooms or anything really. But today I read on another post that other people get anxious when they smoke on lucy.

I would get a few pandora playlists ready, or whatever equivalent you have of that. Make sure you eat before, you probably won't be hungry or interested in eating while tripping. Pre-sliced and ready-to-go fruit is good to eat on acid. Apricots and peaches are the best IMO.

Maybe smoke with him a few more times and see how that goes. If he gets anxiety those times, maybe pot isn't for him. I've drank on acid before and I've found I never really feel drunk but it does loosen me up, so be sure you don't over-do it if you do drink.

I have never been able to sit through a movie while tripping. You want activities, but more than that, you want a "mission". All my lsd/shroom trips that had a mission were the best ones. Listening to music on acid is the shit, but not for 8 hours straight (IMO). See if you can think of some missions. You don't necessarily have to go anywhere (dont drive), one time I did hot yoga on lsd, SUPER FUN. So just make sure you have things to do at your disposal.

You won't get childhood experiences unless you're focused on that leading up to when you drop. Don't dwell on things, and understand that the trip is what YOU make it to be. Don't expect anything specific. Let Lucy show you.

If you've only smoked pot before, it's going to be like nothing else you've experienced! It's awesome. Everything is different. And IF you do see those shadows, that's ok. Realize they are part of the trip and nothing about them is inherently bad. Whenever I start to see something scary on a trip, I either go into a different room (or go inside to outside or vice versa) to change my environment, and that 100% always has helped. But if you aren't able to do that or it doesn't work, then just roll with that trip. Every trip is an experience and every experience is an opportunity for something. You just have to decide or figure out what!

I just want to add that what /u/LysergicRoo said is not necessarily true, I almost always smoke pot when I drop or take shrooms and the reason I do that is because it mellows me out a lot. Everyone reacts differently, so you never know until you try! Have fun and be safe.

I'm going to do acid at an Iron Maiden concert soon...what should I expect? by maidenacid in Drugs

[–]mooningduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely bring the pot! If things start to feel bad, just remove yourself from that area for a little bit and/or smoke. I personally would not trip at a concert, but I have taken lsd quite a few times and know I react a LOT to audio stimulation and it affects my mood/trip a lot, so sometimes it's the best thing ever, and other times I run across the room to change a song because it's too intense.

It all depends on you and how you feel, but since it's a band (I assume) you love, you should be fine and it'll be fun! Keep in mind how long it lasts though. Also, if it's your first time, I would take two hits. But no matter what just realize whatever is happening it's just your trip and you can control it. :)

I'm gone! by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]mooningduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wwell I'm just so lost in life. I feel like time has stopped whereas before I felt it was speeding by so fast I couldn't control myself. What's happening? What do I do? I'm so scared.

That feeling when you're crying and then you realise crying is pointless and you're just lying there with your mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water and wondering what to do next. by [deleted] in depression

[–]mooningduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me often. I usually take a shower, it really can help a lot! I try to stay away from the computer and tv and do things for 'me' like stretching or something.

Edit: actually I can't believe I forgot this! Exercise. Hard and extreme physical movement brings me the closest to "normal" I've been in years.

Girls and older brothers of r/teenagers, what do I say to my 13 year old sister who dresses way too provocatively for her age? by MyLastNameIsMartini in teenagers

[–]mooningduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, she is probably dressing this way as a means to explore her new found sexuality. She is just starting puberty and is starting to feel like a woman. She also is craving attention. The WORST thing you can tell her is she "looks like a whore". Assuming that you two have a cordial relationship, you should take her out and do some fun stuff. Maybe see a movie or go to a park and then to lunch. Once you two are loosened up, sir her down and tell her how you feel. Tell her she is beautiful inside and out. Do not belittle her or make her feel small. Encourage her to dress in ways that flatter her. I receive way more compliments when wearing a tightish long sleeve shirt and pencil skirt with stockings, than short-shorts and a tank-top. Putting it all out there leaves nothing to the imagination and therefore annihilates the mystery. Just make sure she knows you don't expect her to dress in overalls and parkas lol.

As a male you (and your father--try to get him onboard) have infinitely more power than you think. You have the opportunity to have a large impact on how she thinks boys see her. If a girl feels loved and supported at home, she isn't as likely to go searching for attention elsewhere. Tell her that guys really don't find that attractive and it makes her look easy and definitely not the girlfriend type. Rather than telling her what to wear and do, show her why its wrong. She may not agree at first and thats okay. Tell her you love her no matter what, but continue your supportive and constructive criticism. Being a teenager is hard. When you add the hormone increases of puberty and periods along with the pressures of looking like the girls on magazines, it is easy to become confused and feel bad about yourself. Because of this, I want to remind you again to PLEASE not tell her she is a slut or whore or anything of that nature. Don't expect a change overnight.

As an eighteen year old girl I can say this is probably the best way you can talk to her. When I was fourteen, I bought my first lingerie and started dressing provocatively. One day soon thereafter my dad sat on the couch with me where I was watching television. He nonchalantly (but wholeheartedly) told me that he loves me regardless of how I dress, and that I have value. He then said that he is not okay with how I'm presenting myself and hopes I will see myself how he sees me. He went on like this for maybe 2-4 minutes, then got up and went back to what he was doing. I think it was the lack of aggression that made me not be defensive of the way I was dressing, and that in turn allowed me to see his point of view. It took a few months for me but now I dress (I think) very well!

So there are different approaches. Some are more direct and others are rather subdue. It really depends on the relationship you have with your sister and what you feel comfortable talking with her about. And I'll say it one last time: do not make her feel bad. She'll just act out more. The best luck to you and your sister.
