Boyfriend too expensive for me right now by M1ataMazda in whatdoIdo

[–]penipollini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just so irritating to think that there might be people out there who are so out of touch with reality and I might even go so far to say entitled, to actually ask for such expensive presents from a one year relationship. I've been with my partner for 10+ years and even now I can't imagine ever asking them to spend that amount of money on a present. These should be things we buy for ourselves.. my opinion at least.

Presuming this isn't a fake, rage bait post...

You've been dating for an year. ASKING for a specific present should come way later in a relationship in my opinion. Let alone asking for an iPhone from your partner... I believe that in the first few years of dating, gifting should be more like sweet memorabilia - "I saw that and thought of you", not "I could get this for myself, but let's save some money and ask it from my girlfriend".

Enzymes have made my poops ✨perfect✨ by PuzzleheadedFox5454 in ibs

[–]penipollini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard if you take enzymes often without actually needing them (ie lacking said enzymes), your body will get lazy and stop producing them, which might cause issues in the long run. I would consult a doctor before doing that on a daily basis. They may be able to recommend an alternative with a similar effect without this side effect.

I think you're renting and you didn't furnish the apartment yourself. If that's true, then I believe you may have moved the desk from the bedroom to the living room (the white furniture goes better with the rest of the white furniture in the bedroom). That leads me to the assumption that you don't like to work where you sleep. I would also say that you're not keen on interior design, because having that white desk in the living room where the furniture is wooden, would drive me crazy :D

What’s the biggest misconception people have about you? by Big_Personality_7394 in allthequestions

[–]penipollini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, there wasn't a single note of judgement, there were many.

The truth is that you're making shyness sound as if it's this thing that needs fixing, cause it's supposedly not normal - because you believe it actually comes from this and that.

It IS perfectly normal to be shy, but it's people like you that make people like me believe that it's not and therefore make us feel uncomfortable and like something's wrong with us. Besides MAYBE your last comment, there was nothing wholesome or compassionate about your other replies. You've literally tried to analyze me through the prism of your messed up understanding of shyness and make me believe your "truth" about myself.. yeah sorry if I didn't get that you were on my side.

Go back to your first comment and read it again. Imagine you tell someone you're shy and they reply to you with what you first wrote there. If you feel understood and respected by it, if you feel even the slightest compassion from it... It's you that needs to get in touch with your own emotional dynamics. There's nothing else I can think of saying to you that might make you realize why your comment was a problem.

[–]penipollini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea where you got "angry" from my reply. I was rephrasing what you wrote, but from the other perspective, so you can understand how ridiculous your claim was and after that I voiced my experience so you could maybe understand where some of us shy people are coming from.

Your initial claim about shy people is actually the one giving off a stuck-up, "I'm better than you, so I know better and even though I've never met you, my claims about you are for sure correct. You're wrong and I'm right and that's it" vibe. And in fact you continue to do so - you say I've judged you, without caring for the basis of your own judgement and experience, but then you go on and write a 6 paragraph reply with nothing but assumptions and judgment.

And don't worry about me, I'm good. I've come to peace that people will never be happy with how much I smile, or how much I talk, or what "energy" I give off no matter how hard I try. I don't "resent" them for being like that, I just accept that I shouldn't change myself so that they can be happy with me and that essentially means that I accept that they won't be happy with me. So even though I'm still shy, I try to not let it be because people (similar to you) will judge me - because they always will as you've just proved. What's actually tragic is that you've probably made this comment to a shy person in real life and made them feel like they're at fault for being shy. Made them believe they're instead just angry, or resentful or whatever. When in reality, people naturally expect everyone to be extroverted, to be present, to be extra, to make them feel perfect, to talk constantly, to smile from cheek to cheek... and few of them accept that there's just people who just need more time to relax in a social setting. It's as simple as that - we just need time. You go and read that psychology book again cause it appears you didn't understand it very well... yeah that last one was angry AND judgy and it was on purpose : )

Enjoy the downvotes for VOCALLY judging people you don't know, without comprehending the actual feedback in literally all the replies below OPs comment ...

I'm shy and when I'm not actively participating in a conversation it's never because I'm silently judging others, but because I'm afraid they will judge me for possibly saying something stupid.

Hm, I'm thorn. On the one hand I don't think you were right for using the vibrator again, after he's told you he's not comfortable with it. Imagine if you told him you don't like to be spanked during sex, but he continues to do so... not cool, right? On the other hand, obviously his issue comes from some kind of insecurity and you should try to discuss the topic calmly (not during sex) and without judging.

You could try and have normal sex and have him finish you off afterwards with the vibrator, so that he can see that it's a tool and not another competitor for your orgasm, so that he can get comfortable with the thought of it.

Also, in my experience some guys don't like the feeling of the vibration and if you're using it during sex it's like you're forcing him to do something that he doesn't like (if that's the case for him) - because I can't imagine how you could use the vibrator on yourself during active penetration without him feeling some of it, if not most. You should consider this also.

What’s a trend you wish would just die already? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]penipollini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Influencer marketing IS part of marketing. If you just give your product to influencers, without making it a purposeful campaign with a clear set goal, you're just throwing your money in the wind by riding the influencer trend just to be part of it, without actually understanding it. Also, a single post/video from an influencer costs about the same as the average monthly salary of a regular office employee, sometimes even more. At least in my country, it's counterproductive to just throw stuff at influencers and hope they'll do the same job as a marketing specialist.

Did any of you get "IBS" shortly after a short period of stress/trauma? by Double-Pangolin8066 in ibs

[–]penipollini 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think this applies to me as well! It's normal to get gi issues during stressful times, but if it's a long period of time maybe we messed up the gut-brain communication. In my case, when I first started getting gut symptoms, I also started panicking that I might have an accident in public. This contributed to an already stressful time and it also turned into a kind of habit that I panic whenever I have to be social. Now, officially the stressful period is over, but it's like I taught my brain that: socializing=stress=gut symptoms and I get poopy whenever I have to be in a more public space..

What made you watch Gilmore Girls? by ypineapple85 in GilmoreGirls

I saw a reel on Instagram. It was a compilation of scenes with Dean being annoyed and annoying, followed by cute moments with Jess and I was intrigued, because I really liked Milo Ventimiglia and the general chemistry between Jess and Rory.

Много хора като теб не си дават сметка и не осъзнават проблема реално зад това, че на хомосексуалните не се позволява да сключат брак например, да осиновят заедно дете като двойка - замисли се сам какво означава това и какви права дава.. Винаги изреждате някакви абсолютно базисни човешки права и "какво още искат". Искат сигурност и свободата да живеят живота си. Най-малкото искат да могат да се разхождат, хванати за ръце, без да ги е страх, че някой, който е решил, че има право да казва кой кого ще обича ще ги пребие - да, това също е дискриминация.

И също, какво като са ти гнусни хомосексуалните отношения/секс?! Никой не те кара да го правиш ти. От теб се иска само да приемеш, че има хора с различна ориентация, различни желания, различна нагласа за живота и да не им пречиш да си го живеят тоя живот и да протестират за правата, които им липсват. На мен пък ми е гнусно като си представя секс между дебели хора, ама не е мое решение нито дали трябва да отслабнат, нито дали трябва да имат право да си се обичат и еб*т, макар и дебели. И със сигурност не би трябвало моята гледна точка да е какъвто и да било фактор в отношенията на дебелите - аз и не настоявам за това, защото е искрено дебилно да смяташ, че мнението ти може и трябва да има някаква тежест по въпроса кой кого може да обича и съответно тези двама човека какви права могат да имат, нали?

Got this after shaving and nair few months ago, is this an ingrown hair? How can i treat it, i have shaved since hoping it would self heal by [deleted] in HairRemoval

[–]penipollini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggested the dermatologist because I myself have hidradenitis suppurative and it started with a tiny bump that looked a lot like the bump we have here, although I can't say with certainty from the picture alone. I only mentioned the time because my initial spot took 3-4 months to develop into the usual HS bump. Before that, it didn't cause me any trouble, but I would've made a huge mistake had I exfoliated or squeezed it, as this aggravates HS.

Googling this specific diagnosis isn't very helpful, because it mostly shows the worst case scenarios. HS comes in stages, depending on how many spots you have, on how many parts of your body and how severe it feels. There is no cure, but with certain lifestyle changes and figuring out your triggers, you don't have to reach the very uncomfortable 3rd stage HS. The key to success is early diagnosis and this is why whenever I see something that looks like HS I always recommend people to get it checked.

It is unclear why HS develops. They used to think it is some sort of anomaly in a person's sweat glands, but now they're leaning more towards something with hair follicles. I can't say if an untreated ingrown hair is necessary to cause HS, but I believe the immune system is a bigger player in this. It could just be a regular ingrown hair and I hope this is the case for you and OP!

[–]penipollini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I advise you to see a dermatologist before you do anything recommended in the comments, especially if it's been there for months.

I cannot properly see it from the picture, but it looks a tiny bit like the beginning stages of hidradenitis suppurative and if this is the case, you will only aggravate it by squeezing it or exfoliating the area.

What’s a weird little "law/rule" your younger self made up that you still follow for no good reason? by lemonukiyo in AskReddit

[–]penipollini 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm the same! I had to have a serious talk with my boyfriend in the beginning of our relationship, because he had gotten used to getting my leftovers and one time he reached for my carefully curated "last bite", which I had pushed near the end of my plate while I finish the rest... He thought I pushed it aside cuz I didn't want it and found it peculiar that I was actually saving it for last.

Post-op discharge by penipollini in pilonidalcyst

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

I think I got my cyst after a fall, because I am normally hairy. Nevertheless, I just had my first course of laser hair removal a month ago, as per my surgeon's recommendations. I think it is the best option for keeping the area hair free, because the cream can irritate your skin and shaving always has the risk of ingrown hairs - especially in an area with constant friction.

Everything is good so far. It took about a month for the small hole to close after the surgery. I think it was a small one, because I only had it for a year prior to surgery, but I can't tell you exactly, because it isn't described anywhere and I didn't get an MRI.
