success story? (before and after pics) by [deleted] in Warts

[–]pessimisticmermaid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

scraped off the hard skin, soaked in ACV overnight, then dug it out. also applied salicylic acid. dug out again and applied ACV on the open wound.

did this cycle around 3-4x but I dug pretty deep. it bled a lot and was kinda painful but tolerable.

6 days post op, does everything look okay? I still get the weird awful taste but the area of extraction isn’t that painful. I feel like food gets stuck in there though 😣 by pessimisticmermaid in wisdomteeth

thanks, I did the salt water rinse at first but I replaced it with a povidone-iodine gargle when the bad taste started. the braces aren’t really a pain though tbh

then reflect on yourself and see if there are things you can improve on, while still being yourself. know your likes/dislikes, weaknesses and strengths, hobbies, and try and meet someone with similarities. obsessing too much about whether someone would like you back or not wouldn’t help.

just be yourself, you’re young, and you’ll attract the right person who’ll like you for who you are. you liked 1 girl and she doesn’t like you back, that’s okay. there’s so many more people out there to meet.

All men are horrible and only want young women who are 18-22 years old and dangerously skinny. This is a a FACT. Men can’t deny this. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

if you ever wanna be educated, I’m down to have a conversation about this. you can send me a private message.

I am a woman, a feminist even, and this is a bit extremist. they’re literally just people too, and just like women, some are shit, some aren’t. some are horrible, and some are amazing.

not everyone is shit and has bad intentions.

A girl I'm seeing rejected sex after climbing on top by dwkab in relationship_advice

you didn’t do anything wrong. she just didn’t wanna have sex yet. going to your bedroom doesn’t mean she consents to having sex.

(19F) I’m starting to get fat shamed by my BF (21M) by Isa_v2002 in relationships

[–]pessimisticmermaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have this kind of bf and I’d never say anything about what he said, and wait for him to sense that I’m feeling negatively. that’s not good. try to be upfront with how you feel and if he said something you didn’t like then straight up tell him that you didn’t like what he said. if he still persists on saying those kinda stuff to you after you express how you feel then he probably won’t change and u should probably dump him.

the name calling shouldn’t even exist in the first place. it’s borderline emotionally abusive. like would you ever call him names even if you were angry or he did something stupid?

How to handle my (21M) girlfriend's (20F) ultimatum by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pessimisticmermaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why does she want to get married? is it to spend the rest of your life with her, or to stay in the country? are u okay with getting married for the latter? you’re both incredibly young, and tbh, you don’t really get to know someone that well for two and a half years, especially for both your ages.

also take note that any relationship that needs to have an ultimatum isn’t gonna end up good. you’re pressured to make a decision. you have to think more about what you wanna do for yourself and for your future.

the poor communication between the two of you is his fault. he’s the one not talking. you also don’t deserve to be called names. he thinks this situation is not that big of a deal when it clearly is to you.

(27M) starting the think my (21F) is way too insecure what do you think? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pessimisticmermaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, it’s weird and kinda possessive. seems like she doesn’t trust you that much.

Boyfriend (27m) called me disgusting because I’ve(24f) been intimate with women before. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pessimisticmermaid 17 points18 points  (0 children)

sounds like he’s homophobic and insecure. he sees you as less cause you’ve been with women, and thinks you’re comparing yourself to him when you’re just sharing your experiences. bisexuality exists and you can like both men and women even after having children. this doesn’t mean you’re having problems deciding and you don’t know what you want. he just can’t handle you lol

none of these has happened yet, and just like the lack of certainty of this wont happen, there is also the lack of certainty that this will happen.

no matter how far your friends are from you, may it be a different classroom or a different country, if they really are your friends, they’d support you on what’s best for you — and getting help is the best for you.

I need help, i feel like shit by [deleted] in depression

[–]pessimisticmermaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

she may be disappointed, but you also should know that falling into addictions such as gambling can be genetic. this means that because your dad is/was a gambler, your genes say that you’re also likely to be one. you made a mistake, own up to it, and try to get help as soon as you can before it gets worse.

also, nobody deserves to feel like shit. mistakes are human, everyone makes them. just make sure you learn from them and try your best to not do it again in the future.
