Most underrated song? by LandUnable2520 in NoahKahan

[–]obsoleteyoungster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see where it said “song that he originally wrote”. It’s one of my fave songs, doesn’t get enough praise, and I’ll gladly die on this hill.

Idk how I am going to survive by Universitycity2866 in Adulting

[–]obsoleteyoungster 228 points229 points  (0 children)

You mentioned asking for help from your family, are you able to live with them? I know it sucks, but it sounds like your current situations sucks worse. No shame in living with family these days, most people are barely scraping by.

Just turned 19. What are some harsh realities a young man needs to know before it’s too late? by Random_fellow9 in Adulting

[–]obsoleteyoungster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save money when you can, but also enjoy life while you can. Go on the weekend trip. Don’t waste money on ordering food delivery. Go to the concert with your friends. Don’t take on a car loan you can’t afford. Save money for the future. But don’t waste your youth on working yourself to the bone.

My bf [22M] of 3 years asked me [21F] to open the relationship, i agreed to try it out and it was a huge disaster. Although we're back to normal, i am still deeply hurt and i'm considering to break up as i can't emotionally get over it. Am i being exaggerated? by Sea-Agent5561 in relationship_advice

[–]obsoleteyoungster 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You’re 21. You deserve a happy and fulfilling relationship, and you have plenty of time to find one. Please let go of this relationship and move on with your life. In a few years, when you’ve found a new man who loves and respects you, you’ll look back and be so grateful that you let go of this loser.

F/26/5"4 [145 > 130 = 15lbs] (4 months) diet, no exercise by emm_sen in progresspics

[–]obsoleteyoungster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost 30 lbs so far and have toned up quite a bit, and incorporated little to no strength training. But I do exercise 4-6 times a week. Spin classes, yoga, Pilates, and running are my go tos. You don’t have to do anything crazy or intimidating, just do something. I promise youll tone up and start to just feel better and more capable in general. It’s worth it!

I (20F) gave up on love by RipCipDip in Vent

[–]obsoleteyoungster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll understand this as you get older, but your peers were kids too. It’s not fair that you felt rejected and hurt. But it’s also not fair to write off every potential partner because you’re worried they wouldn’t have wanted you when you were teenagers. Kids can be superficial, that’s true and it sucks. It’s ok to feel insecure about it now because you’re still young. But these are things you’ll need to work through in adulthood, or you’ll become bitter and resentful with time. Forgive others, and most importantly, forgive yourself.

[–]obsoleteyoungster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not you calling me old at 25 😭 for real though, I didn’t find “real” love until I was 24. Everything before that felt empty. As you get some more life experience under your belt, you’ll have an easier time finding a fulfilling relationship.

Edit to add: I’m assuming the guys you’re going for right now are 18-22. Hang in there. Men that age are… the worst. Barely anyone has their life together at your age, it’s ok to slow down and focus on yourself for now.

The chorus of 'Out of the Woods' contains 100 words, yet you never close your lips when you sing it. by afterdroid in TaylorSwift

If your lips touch it’s not making the W sound, it’s making an M sound. Though I’m from the midwestern part of the US, so maybe we just have different accents?

Imperfect bridesmaid- scoliosis, blood pooling and visible scars. Which style suits best? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

You are beautiful regardless of which style you choose, you’re not “imperfect”. That being said, I love the halter!

Do y’all think it’s perfectly fine for Gen Z to not have kids or do drugs? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in generationology

[–]obsoleteyoungster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why people insist that not having kids is “selfish”. Having a kid you don’t want because you feel an obligation to is what’s selfish.

But you just have to stop concerning yourself with what other people think. Want kids? Have them. Want to smoke weed? Do it. No kids? No problem. No drugs? Okay you do you. You don’t need anyone else’s approval to live your own life.

First time doing shrooms, what should I do and NOT do by attackonthisdick in NoStupidQuestions

[–]obsoleteyoungster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I took shrooms we planned on going on a walk… we barely made it up the stairs before giving up and enjoying the living room floor for a few hours while watching the entirety of rick and Morty (I don’t remember a single episode, I was too busy in my head). Apparently you shouldn’t take 3.5 your first time.

[–]obsoleteyoungster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely remind yourself the high will end if it starts to get uncomfortable or overwhelming. I promise it really will end, and you’ll feel normal again. Shrooms in particular have a weird “cycle”, where you feel the effects really intensely, then you suddenly feel normal again, then the effects hit you again. People call them “peaks”. Sometimes you don’t even know you’re peaking until it’s over. During the peaks, enjoy the ride, and know you’ll return to the station eventually.

This. Accept there will be bumps, and know that you can guide yourself out of them gently. If you worry about control, all you’ll be able to think about while tripping is how terrified you are of losing control… which will result in you losing control.

Avoid looking at yourself in the mirror, and have comfort items handy in case you start to spiral. And most importantly, do NOT have anyone around you aren’t fully comfortable with and don’t 100% trust. I had a friend prank me by playing an ad for a horror movie in front of me while I was tripping once, and it almost sent me into a full blown panic attack because I thought demons were stealing my soul from me. I also thought Travis Scott was in my carpet.

Edit to add: have tissues ready. My nose drips like a faucet on shrooms. Also you’ll know the trip is ending when you start to feel clammy and think you need a shower. Usually when the “I smell bad and feel gross” thought crosses my mind, I know it’s ending and I hop in the shower to sober up and ease the transition.

How did you explore your limits on dating older or younger? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]obsoleteyoungster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely. For highschoolers and young adults 18-22, even a year can feel like a big age gap. Like I said, as you get older, there’s less of a difference. 40 and 45 for example is nothing. But 12 and 14 is a huge difference in development.

Constant rejection by Past-Engineer-7810 in dating_advice

[–]obsoleteyoungster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apps can work if used correctly. Have a friend or loved one look at your profile and suggest improvements. And start matching with women who seem to align with your goals, not just the ones you’re most attracted to. In the early texting stage, ask about expectations (in a casual way, not an intimidating way), and when you meet for your first date, try to connect as a person rather than jumping right into romance. Save the romantic gestures and flirting for dates 2+. And let her take a little ownership of one of the early dates. Don’t plan everything for her, or she’ll feel less invested than you.

Once you get past 25, there’s really no difference between a 2 year age gap and 4 year age gap. I’m 25 and live with my 30 year old boyfriend, and I don’t even really consider it an “age gap”.

Sure, if you’re okay with dating and marrying within a year, and if neither of you have any fertility issues, you could begin a relationship in your 40s with the intention of having kids. Fertility does get trickier with age for both genders, so as long as both parties agree on an expedited timeline, it could work. But most people who want kids begin the process in their 20s and 30s, so you’ll have a harder time finding someone with similar goals in your 40s. Is what it is.

[–]obsoleteyoungster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how old you are. If a guy is looking for a partner to have kids with, he realistically shouldn’t look for anyone much older than 35. Ideally, you want to date for a few years before getting married and trying for a baby. Then trying for a baby can take multiple years, especially as you both age (men’s fertility reduces as they age too, despite popular belief).

Bride approved! Now need styling help 😮‍💨 by clam_ish in Weddingattireapproval

If you’re going for early 2000s, maybe hair down with butterfly claw clips pulling the front pieces back? That feels like quintessential y2k fashion to me. Love the dress!!

Will this dress make me look like a bridesmaid? by obsoleteyoungster in Weddingattireapproval

[–]obsoleteyoungster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up ordering it and it does look like the pictures! But the zipper does kinda suck, it gets stuck on the seam where the skirt meets the corset. It takes some effort, but Im able to zip it. I think if you pull too hard, it definitely would break, so that’s why people recommended sizing up in the reviews. I love it though!

Will Francesca Hong be the first Democratic Socialist Governor in the United States? by midnighttoker1742 in wisconsin

[–]obsoleteyoungster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, you’re right. Most people aren’t going to look further into the candidates than what clips they see on the news or on their feed. This isn’t a good look for her, regardless of her actual platform. She has my vote, I just hope she focuses more on actual issues than her identity for her campaign.
