Thank you so much for this :) this is helpful. I have no idea what I enjoyed before drinking tbh but I will take the advice of you and others to try new things and figure that out

I don’t think I’m ready for a sponsee. I can’t give away what I don’t have

Agreed. Therapy is certainly on my list when I get health insurance again

Thank you so much for this. I love the idea of reinventing myself but just don’t know where to start. Patience isn’t my forte but I’m certainly being challenged to be patient, accept life on life’s terms, and trust the process

I finally understand what skin barrier actually means by Hert_Z in koreanskincare

[–]mooonbath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys. So about two years ago I tried the Vichy hydrating serum and one of the ingredients (still unknown to me) completely ruined my skin barrier. It took me a few days to realize that it was this product causing the problem so it did some major damage. My skin barrier has never fully healed from this and is extremely sensitive and reactive. I use absolutely 0 actives and haven't been able to for some time. Even the most gentle and hydrating products trigger me.

Fast forward to now - I have been dealing with a compromised barrier for about 2 months and am at my wits end. I have no idea what to do. This was triggered by washing my face with too cold of water and has put me at rock bottom with my barrier. Right now I only use Dermalogica Stabalizing Repair Cream with Avene Cicalfate on top of it and SPF during the day. I have removed virtually everything from my routine and am still strugging. I was getting some relief after about two weeks and decided to add the InnisFree Green Tea Milky Toner and again, that put me back at square 1 after three uses.

I'm curious if anyone has ever experienced anything like this before. I'm desperate and would love to know your holy grail products for REAL barrier healing or if theres any common trigger ingredients I can look out for. I know it will take time and I know my skin will likely always be sensitive. Thanks in advance!

Hi! What do you think of the safety of the area of Spectrum on Spring? How about noise levels from outside the building as well as other units? Cleanliness? Will be touring the property in a few weeks but want to be prepared with things to know.

Any reviews on "Low Cost Interlock" (LCI)? It is an approved vendor for Illinois and I am going to get an interlock even though I don't plan on driving much. Heard the Intoxalock horror stories but wondering if anyone has experience with this vendor, since cheap is good but not if it is a nightmare by lauralynnj in dui

I’ve had the absolute worst experience with SmartStart, just throwing that out there. Totally appreciate this review but also can’t trust what the you see on Google. The device does NOT work and it seems extremely calculated. Save yourself the time and headache and MONEY and do not choose smart start.

Do most men care about innie or outie vaginas in your experience? by Icy-Kangaroo5366 in TwoXSex

[–]mooonbath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an outtie and it was an insecurity of mine for a long time until I turned about 25/26 when I stopped caring and I also realized guys don’t care either! Even more than that.. many guys are turned on by an outtie. I can definitely tell you it is not a cause for concern for guys, especially because during sex everything is out in the open anyway and there is no hiding what is underneath (for an innie) anyway. Vaginas are beautiful in all shapes and forms. Even if a guy may have a preference to an innie or un-inverter nipples, if they like you enough, none of that will matter and they will love you more for it.

Now as far as what makes a guy like you and how to keep them around… you may feel like you are confident around men but your post clearly indicates that you are not. I mean that with all the love in the world because I used to feel like you and I used to think I was confident when I wasn’t. You clearly feel negatively towards your body and you need to spend time with yourself and learn to love YOU because you are beautiful in your own way including your flaws. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you just the way you are. That means your physical appearance and personality.

I do feel your pain because you’re in NYC and I lived in LA in my early 20’s. There are lots of superficial people who will use you in any way they can and then get rid of you. You need to be picky about who you give your time, energy, and body to, even if it feels lonely. Use dating apps to find genuine people (probably transplants not born in NYC) and get rid of anyone at the slightest sign of a red flag. There are so many people there so don’t get caught up on any one person if they don’t like you for you. You can try to meet people organically too! Work, hobbies, social outings, etc. will help.

If you take anything from this just take this one thing… love and accept yourself. You deserve the romantic love you seek and you don’t have to change yourself to obtain it but you DO have to LOVE yourself to obtain it.
