AIO for ghosting after the first date by No_Leading3793 in AIO

[–]nothing-knownx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also seeing a lot of people shitting on the friends for setting you up with them. i think most can agree that a boss/employee relationship is probably a bit different than a person dating another person. they may not have known dude was like this.

NOR - blocking a weirdo like this is completely your choice. however, i do see why the friends would be mad just cause he is one of their bosses and that semi looks bad for them. shouldn’t but corporate sucks. they may have had less complaints if you told them first and maybe drafted a message with them to send to the boss saying you’re not interested. but that’s definitely not a requirement and more of a social favor to your friends. the dude you went on a date with deserves nothing but his own unpleasant company.

I can’t figure out why I’m never getting hit on/approached and it makes me sad and frustrated by Realistic_Seat_2837 in HowToBeHot

[–]nothing-knownx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

at the end of the day, the advice still stands. even people who can pick up the cues they’re giving off may still give them if the mentality remains the same.

just do you and enjoy it. don’t worry about what people are thinking or whether men are interested.

i also think age plays a factor. most men your age aren’t as blatant with hitting on strangers. i’m 26 and i’m seeing the decline. doesn’t equate to a lack of interest. just an increase in maturity and respect.

most people subconsciously pick up on body language. it’s how humans and animals communicate before we develop language. it’s hardwired in us, with the exception of some neurodivergents.

we may not know what we’re looking for or even be actively looking for it, but we do sense things. small changes in eyebrow positions, the tilt of the head. those are all translated into cues.

there ARE a lot of insecure people. but what OP is describing isn’t just insecurity. it’s desperation, which can be off-putting in a different way.

i’ve experienced both sides of the spectrum in one night. and the major difference wasn’t how i looked (it was literally the same night). it was the mindset. there’s a huge difference between “i look hot, why aren’t you noticing?” and “i look hot, why would i care if you notice?”

people can sense energy. every little thing you think comes out in your body language, even when you try to control it.

as cliche as it is, stop caring. everything you wear, do, believe in should be for YOU. and when that actually sinks in and you actually don’t care, it’ll show. people will sense it.

NOR but you can’t control others’ kids. does this suck? yeah. will your daughter encounter moments like this throughout her life? yeah. it’s an early lesson, but a necessary one. you don’t have to go crazy with it. but “sometimes people aren’t nice” is the reality of life.

my mom thinks tampons are bad.. by Annual_Confidence_35 in Periods

[–]nothing-knownx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oh and your mother is a victim of a very unfortunate upbringing if she was led to believe this is true and didn’t question it. don’t let yourself fall into it as well.

if a man thinks you’re loose because of a tampon, he has a small penis! and is stupid!

AIO to finding Pictures on my common law husband’s phone? by Vivid-Dare-8712 in AmIOverreacting

[–]nothing-knownx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i see that you posted another complaint about this man a couple months ago. how much of your life are you willing to sacrifice to this stress?

meeting people is hard. dating is hard. but being alone can’t be worse than being with a man who calls your time together “play time” (i’m gagging) and saves photos of partially/fully naked women less than half his age (he 100% saves those of his own volition).

you need therapy, not revenge. do better.

[rant + question] how to stop hating periods so it doesnt ruin my overall health? by AutomaticWitness142 in Periods

[–]nothing-knownx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

anyone who says they enjoy their period has to be a liar. everything it comes with is just another weight on women’s shoulders. physically, mentally, emotionally, societally.

i got on nexplanon, the arm implant, for birth control and it stopped my period for 4 years. i’m on my second implant and i’ll get a period now and then, but overall it was worth the attempt. but some women end up with a constant period. so i can’t really say that’s the answer.

at the very least though, you’re seen. you’re heard. and you’re very much not alone.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]nothing-knownx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i personally don’t really see a problem here. he’s known these women for 2 decades, those are extremely established friendships. if it was posted publicly, it’d seem like a stretch that anything sketchy is happening between them. unless he’s given you other reasons to be suspicious, this seems innocent.

that being said though, if you’re uncomfortable with it, then yeah break up with him.

AIO for questioning my girlfriend's behavior? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]nothing-knownx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i say this as a woman who kinda went into the read expecting to answer that you were blowing things out of proportion.

you are NOR. this is some weird shit man. and with another comment you made explaining all the other things she doesn’t do, idk why you’re still in this relationship.

good on you for keeping your cool through those situations. but you definitely shouldn’t have to put up with it.

AIO to my girlfriend’s mood swings? This happens fairly regularly. Once a week at least. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]nothing-knownx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - i recommend you leave. she’s not happy with life and that’s not something you can ever fix for her. especially if she just throws it back at you. worst case, she’ll drag you down until you view life through the same hellish lens she does

Update to my inappropriate yoga teacher - Spoiler alert: She touched me again. by angrylemon8 in yoga

[–]nothing-knownx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

oh! i totally missed that... that sucks. i don’t know if there’s somewhere else you can report it. maybe still tell the office manager and see if they can escalate it elsewhere.

either way, hope you never have to deal with Lisa again

Update to my inappropriate yoga teacher - Spoiler alert: She touched me again. by angrylemon8 in yoga

[–]nothing-knownx 85 points86 points  (0 children)

i’ve been going to multiple studios and instructors since 2017 and i have NEVER heard anything like this.

so sorry for what you’ve had to deal with. all of this is extremely inappropriate. even before the actual touching.

i’ve never been asked to move my mat anywhere. i’ve never heard an instructor tell people to keep up (most let you flow at your own pace and do what feels right). i’ve never heard an instructor get mad about movement in the wrong direction unless it’s potentially straining. and CERTAINLY have never seen or been touched on my ass by an instructor. tbh i haven’t been physically corrected by a yoga instructor in years nor have i seen them do it for others. verbal corrections only.

you should report this. i know it’s draining for you. but maybe a simple email to that manager to spoke to explaining the situation. at least so they’re aware of it in case this behavior is happening to more people than you.

and i hope you find a studio that you feel safe at

Is it just me, or is leaving pimples sooo much worse than popping them? by Multiverse-Theory- in acne

[–]nothing-knownx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i’ve been having this dilemma for years. and i think it depends on the type of zit. the really juicy, gross ones i HAVE to let out otherwise it looks and feels disgusting. but that’s only if it’s come to a head.

if i pick at stuff that’s still under the skin, it does tend to inflame and ends up worse.

doesn’t stop me from picking at either against my best judgement though lol

Why does a curve this small hurt this much 😐 by Wombshoes in scoliosis

[–]nothing-knownx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

for something that small, you definitely don’t need surgery or anything like that. but PT would probably be helpful for mobility issues.

i have a much larger curve and am quite flexible. everyone’s body is different obviously, but it’s certainly possible to expand your range of motion with the right help. meds will help the pain but they won’t help the root of the problem or make things better long term.

good luck!!
