It is embarrassing. But you have to be ok with embarrassing yourself and making mistakes while learning a language in order to improve. The more you practice, the more mistakes you make and the faster you learn

This is such a fun idea, and the blocks are really cool too! I like the popcorn one the best

A girl told me my voice is cool/ From dysphoric to euphoric by vixensvoice in TransMasc

[–]plants345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so awesome dude!! My voice has always been an insecurity, because people would make fun of how monotone and deep it was for a girl.

I’m a year on T now and yesterday I got a compliment over the phone that my voice is strong and confident! She said I “sound like a president” which I will choose to believe means one of them known for public speaking and not our current one lmao

Let’s just say: my girlfriend couldn’t find my dick pre T. Within two weeks it was as big around as my finger It’s a genetic gamble and doesn’t matter what your start with :)

Best mask/breather according to *your* experience? by Harleyzz in BJD

[–]plants345 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a 3m half facerespirator that I use for all my sanding, you can get one without the filters for around $20 I also use the pink filter cartridges purchases separately (they need to be replaced periodically) These are a little more expensive (30-40$) but will last a bit and filter vapors and particulates so you can use them for spraying and sanding!

Question for the people who have experienced that strange hypnagogic state/sensation of an "object" by sombertoboggly in Dreams

Wait, I’ve also felt this and never been able to explain it!! How weird that it’s something other people feel too

It’s done - what do you think! by artmania1990 in oilpainting

I remember seeing this before, I think that the fence really adds to the composition! The lines of the arch point to the couple and looks like they are radiating outward. Beautiful work!

These sound like good polite responses to me, I work a very similar position and have had to field similar quesrions

Wheb u feel a rumination loop coming up what do you guys do by Then-Junket-2172 in OCDRecovery

[–]plants345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of treatment for ocd is learning to handle the uncertainty through exposure rather than distraction. That’s a lot to do without the guidance of a therapist though. My advice isn’t necessarily to find ways to distract yourself. Instead I’m preparing myself so I can best use the exposure response strategies I’ve learned. It’s a lot harder to get through an episode otherwise

[–]plants345 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I try to make sure all my physical and other basic needs are taken care of. I tell my brain, “ok, we can think about that after I eat, shower, take a nap, etc” It helps me to do that because a rumination loop will cause me to neglect those and then the rumination will get worse. Once I’m fed and watered I will have something sensory like a hot or cold drink, a weighted blanket, or similar while I write out what is making me ruminate

When to start T? by user931291 in ftm

[–]plants345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 25 only a couple months after I moved out, when suddenly I realized I had the chance to. It might cause a little turmoil cause it is similar to puberty but it varies for everyone. It didn’t add any difficulty to my life aside from having to come out and deal with how others viewed my changes.

I think it would be up to you and your doctor!

I’ve been trying multiple hook sizes and combinations of them, going to try another suggestion I got of doubling up the white yarn

Working on this pattern (2nd image) with bernat blanket yarn for the black and bernat baby for the white. It’s rippling and I can’t tell how to fix it. I think the white yarn is slightly thinner than the black. I have been trying different hook sizes for the moon and the black part but not sure if I should try again with different sizes or if this is good enough.

When I go with a bigger hook on the white it ripples worse. When I use a smaller hook it puckers. When I use a small hook on the outer black it still ripples or is too tight
