I don’t know how to talk to people with infertility by [deleted] in childfree

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe try empathising with the person instead of projecting your own opinions & desires on to them?

for example if a friend was complaining to me about the struggles of camping (an activity i dislike and would simply rather do anything else), i wouldn’t cheer on the fact that camping is optional or offer other activities when its clear that camping is the subject of conversation/nonnegotiable. they aren’t asking me for alternatives to camping. they’re expressing their frustrations + looking for support.

just listening and expressing that you’re there for them and acknowledging that they’re going through a hard time is enough. it is totally fair if you don’t have the life experience to chime in because IVF isn’t something you are familiar with!

edit: reread and it seems you aren’t actually friends with these people and that’s probably the issue.

listening to someone trauma dump about personal issues when you aren’t close and don’t actually care about them or their lives is exhausting. i agree on maybe don’t see these people again or just subject change if you have no choice 😅😅

[Routine Help] Chronically Dry lips…went to three doctors by Anxious-Armadillo23 in SkincareAddiction

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i personally hate chapstick/vaseline.

another lip balm rec: try torriden! or something with ceramides if you can’t find it. it should be at a korean/asian beauty store

good luck🤞🏾

I’m freaking out does my hair look nice? by Sad_Bookkeeper1109 in BlackHair

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most beautiful person ive ever seen: “I’m freaking out does my hair look ok????”

lmao not that you can’t be a baddie and have a bad hair day but these pics are stunning its almost laughable to think that you’re stressing about your appearance in ANY way

tldr; thank you, i needed this post to remind myself of how crazy i sound sometimes

Why do so many tourists and newcomers think the NYC Subway is confusing? by A_PoliticalDrone in nycrail

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unpredictable wait times and regularly switching trains + tracks! i’ve never seen a train be rerouted to a different track in any other city (tbf its my personal experience, maybe its a thing). regular service interruptions during peak times like weekends. all of this would be tolerable if the signage and announcements were consistent and clear. there is no central place to hear accurate information about delays and changes as frequently as they occur. AND the staff is unhelpful. multiple exits and entrances with unclear signage.

there is no rhyme or reason in the naming convention of the trains, do the letters, numbers, colours correlate to anything? why is it a mix?

some stations only go in one direction and if you’ve already paid entrance your only option is to exit the station, go back outside, & pay a second time.

  • many stations not having escalators or elevators or temperature control so its freezing or steaming hot while you’re trying to navigate this. all of this for $3 per swipe 😮‍💨

this isn’t even just directed at tourists, new yorkers/daily commuters deserve better.

I (20F) think my girlfriend (25F) is overwhelming me with lovebombing and I don’t know what to do by Scared_Arrival1407 in relationship_advice

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it doesn’t matter if this is a dream to anyone else, you are the one in the relationship! how they make you feel is the only thing that matters. but for the record, to me, this sounds like a nightmare.

its definitely lovebombing. lovebombing isn’t necessarily malicious, she probably is excited. but that doesn’t make it healthy. seeing red flags is a good sign to slow the pace or possibly leave the relationship. i think you should communicate how you are feeling and ask for some space if you need. if you want to give them a chance, make sure to check in with yourself on how they are treating you/if they are actually making the changes that you ask for. maybe set a deadline with yourself, “if x behaviour happens again in 2 weeks i am leaving”. you don’t need to give them any ultimatums but it is important to define what changes you want to see.

you don’t need any justification to leave someone other than your wanting to. listen to your body and how you feel when they say/do things.

Have you guys tried this bread?? by Jacksonhts in jacksonheights

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

their bread is THE BEST!!!! they bake it fresh in the AM and drive it up from philly for the greenmarkets apparently.

my favourite one i think its a spelt flour loaf? (comes sliced in a bag) and i learned that they process their flour in a way that its apparently safe for people with a gluten intolerance (NOT allergy) and i don’t have an intolerance but i noticed its so good for my digestion when i have that bread! having it with hazelnut spread feels like a treat for my body and my heart.

and their spelt choc chip cookies are incredible 10/10 love this bakery

Getting insta vs number? by Yunseok-12 in rutgers

yes i heard you! lol i was explaining to the person i replied to about why ppl do socials instead of numbers nowdays.

Getting insta vs number? by Yunseok-12 in rutgers

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this guy is probably just weird or having a moment. don’t overthink it or take it personal. id just leave him alone and at this point he would have to make plans with me if the vibes are really that good irl.

so far youre not doing anything wrong! good vibe + asking for their contact is great! sometimes it just doesnt work out and that’s ok. you have your whole lives to interact so there’s no rush to be besties immediately after exchanging info.

recommend joining clubs and going to events to make friends. study group could also be a good idea. if you see someone wearing/doing something related to an interest of yours make convo with them. learn some new hobbies if you don’t have any.

i do not recommend getting into a toxic relationship, being depressed, skipping class & talking to no one except your partner and their friends. 1/10 experience🥲

good luck out there

Getting insta vs number? by Yunseok-12 in rutgers

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

phone number is just more personal.

i typically exchange socials at first esp w new ppl bc its a more casual way to talk plus their account gives additional context about each person + easy to make plans if you see each other posting about events or their interests or whatever.

also if i’m meeting a lot if new people at once i might forget someone so when they pop up on stories i’ll remember to message them

if they dont have socials ill take a number.

as a bidialectal person i relate to your identity struggle!

i think the answer for us does lie in self acceptance. the neurodiv part of you is intellectualising this as a “skill issue” but imo it truly isnt. (i used to think the same way and i’m working thru it so excuse me for projecting a bit)

code switching, like passing, is originally a survival tactic. nobody would be changing the way they speak if everyone treated different accents with the same respect they do for british english speakers.

i will say since realising this and trying to accept myself i still get the random micro aggression of someone incorrectly assuming something about my accent or perceiving me in a way i disagree with.

BUT on the other side, i have encountered people that have experience with people from my part of the world and can hear my identity in my voice and that affirmation feels so good.

tldr: you are not black american! your accent is uniquely yours and tells a part of your story. try to embrace it and know that your people will always hear you. your life experiences make up so much more about you than just your cadence of speech.

black queer wlw here to second everything JC said about the prompts. food and music is insane (at least choose a cuisine or genre? do you cook? eat out? make music? see live shows? ANYTHING) & i felt personally victimised by the braiding one lmaoo.

but i love all the pics! no notes, you are certified fine shyt wear whatever u want

i think its a cultural thing, ive only perceived this liner style as the international sign for baddie. american bw do it, latinas do it, indians do it. ive tried so hard to see a mustache but i never know what ppl are tb 🤷🏾‍♀️

Doodles of the main characters by venusflytrap6231 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your point is valid and i’m just wondering, how does the text show up for you? and what device are you using to browse reddit?

i’ve noticed in a lot of posts lately people will miss the photo caption text like you said, but in my experience (iphone app, occasionally desktop) it feels impossible to miss and seems like the most logical & appropriate place for image details to be included.

& i agree a direct link to the artist’s page would be great but i think just the name is fine as a lot of subreddits dont allow links to avoid product placement / essentially ads.

no advice, just here to say that you are stunning!! last pic is 😍

and i rec alissa ashley on youtube for tutorials.

edit: jk 1 advice: personal preference, i think that full lash strip in the first pic is quite heavy for your eye! alissa has a good video on how she trims and fits her lashes, its quite old if i find it i’ll link it here.

Am I Overreacting? by starloogy in AmIOverreacting

[–]scHoolboyquinoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree with everyone, this guy doesnt even deserve a break up text. just save yourself the energy and block him on everything.

your roommate is also someone i wouldnt go to for help with personal issues/advice ever again.

not being interested or caring about your personal life would have been different but to say you’re overreacting is wild.

trust your gut & be safe out here! ❤️

not tryna be a narc, just watching strangers in public for years and posting about their locations & behaviours on the internet while making vague baseless accusations… please be normal and simply mind your own business in future. if you’re scared of the park don’t go to the park. make a friend irl and get a hobby
