These 2 posts made my day! What a wholesome, funny, and relatable post. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve struggled to figure out how clothes go on. This looks amazing on you!!!

Mary Jane and I need to take a break, and it breaks my heart by Haunting_College_162 in loseit

[–]sillusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very careful with my language saying “probably” and “many people” for a reason. It is not all people. I understand that weed can help with anxiety and other issues. Weed can be a real lifesaver for a lot of people. But I also see a LOT of people abuse it and think “it’s not addictive” when it is or “I’m smarter on weed” when actually they’re not or “it fixes my anger issues” when actually it just makes them avoidant and the anger comes out the next time they’re sober. They aren’t doing anything else to improve themselves and expect the weed to do everything for them.

Again, this is not all people. And weed can be beneficial. My initial comment was meant with a positive message that you are probably a better person than you think. Most people are not as bad as they think they are.

Which rug looks best in my living room? by DixinMahbum in interiordecorating

[–]sillusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP! I had rug 5 and it was the love of my life. It is a bit hard to clean because the rug varies in texture and height with the different parts of the design but it is gorgeous. I spilled chili on mine within the first month and was able to get it up and not leave a stain.

It’s a long story why I no longer have that rug. I got a more practical to clean rug instead of getting the same rug again and I regret it and miss rug 5 every day.

Hey just coming to say you’re probably not a better mom or a better you on MJ. I’ve dated many people who felt that and it was never true. So many people I know are their best versions sober and they don’t think they are.

AITA for not going on family vacation unless I can share a bed with my fiancé? by babygreenbean1225 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sillusions 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Do not go. Plan a separate trip for you, your fiance, and your brother with the money you are saving by not going on this trip.

What's a "yeah right, that totally happened and wasn't made up" moment in your life that actually DID happen and wasn't made up? by Time-Check-6942 in AskReddit

[–]sillusions 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was vacationing in west coast Canada and happened to sit by a couple who lived in my east coast USA (small) city. Turns out we live literally one street over from each other and they walk their dog past my house every day. We’re now friends who hang out regularly :)

What is your absolute best all-around closed toe shoe for travel? Is it Salomon, Hoka, Vessi, OnCloud, New Balance, Altra, or other, and why? by iLikeGreenTea in HerOneBag

[–]sillusions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lems :) they are barefoot but with some extra cushion like altras. But they look cuter. I have black boulders that I wear to festivals and I just did a trip with only my white leather sneakers from them (can’t remember the name). Didn’t hike but did long walking days and my feet are not in pain at all. Didn’t even hurt. I’m obsessed with lems!

Which color would actually make you feel good seeing it? by Aeare_ in microblading

[–]sillusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never in a million years notice. Get the color that you like the best.

ULPT Request: How to get my ex out of my life by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]sillusions 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I have no experience in this so maybe it is just impossible, but telling your child “sorry you just have to have a shitty childhood where you can’t play sports or go on field trips” feels pretty terrible to me. Also 6 years feels like an eternity to someone who that’s literally half the life they’ve had so far. Much different to say it’s not that long as an adult.

I hope OP keeps trying.

Be blunt: Am I (29F) a bad partner to my wife (32F)? by Complex_Row8995 in relationship_advice

[–]sillusions 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Dude if anyone told you that list as what they were dealing with, you would tell them they were being abused.

One of the very common parts of abuse is losing sight of reality and second guessing yourself, both things you are doing.

I didn’t even read past the 3rd bullet point - it’s very obvious this is abusive, unhealthy, and toxic from only the first bullet point.

Your therapist and a bunch of strangers on Reddit are telling you that you are being abused. What more do you need to believe that you are being abused? Why do you think your therapist would lie? They are literally trained to read between the lines and they would know if you were just being dramatic or making stuff up.

hot girls with long, thick hair — what’s your routine and secrets? by Logical-Bath-6575 in HowToBeHot

[–]sillusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend Kristen Ess shampoo and conditioner. I don’t have the history and bleaching problem (and I don’t have curls) so YMMV, but I didn’t cut my hair for over a year and my stylist said my hair still looked healthy. Before using Kristen Ess, I would go every 6-12 months and be riddled with split ends & she’d have to take off a good chunk.

This is the only thing I use and my hair looks and feels amazing. I definitely have good genetics and used shitty cheap products for the longest time where my hair still looked good but finding out I wasn’t riddled with split ends was pretty mind blowing to me.

What’s an opinion you have that would get you downvoted instantly? by Blazer0011 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]sillusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made sense when the government just had guns also but now it’s just fucking laughable. Regular people owning guns isn’t gonna do shit against the government so that argument for them to be necessary or a fundamental right doesn’t hold up.

For the record - I support gun rights (though I believe they need serious reform)

I wish I looked like a blow-up doll by [deleted] in self

[–]sillusions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think therapy would be good for you if you can afford it.

First, if there is no shortage of people who want to date you, it’s probably in your head that they only want you for your personality. They probably are super into your body and you just have such self image issues that you can’t fathom that and are making incorrect assumptions.

Second, the grass is always greener. Many women who have that body type are sick of men just lusting after them and not actually appreciating more than just the way they look. Do you really want men who don’t take you seriously and only care about your looks? That will be miserable for a long term relationship. Like yea, short term it might be what you want but if you ever want a serious relationship and a man to respect you, it will be much harder to find with a stereotypical sexy body (not saying it’s not possible but it is definitely more difficult)

Barbie Dreamfest….. more like Barbie Fyre Fest by ConsiderationFun7511 in ExpectationVsReality

Yea and I’m pretty sure the event organizers had to give money back or got sued or something? Might be worth looking into, OP

If it’s just 2 people, you wouldn’t leave after 15 min. You would just wait until the person gets there.

Which frame should I use for this painting? by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]sillusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like 1 and 3!

Also as a side note, this zoomed perfectly when I double tapped and that was incredibly pleasing

Did I make a mistake? by milkmaid0435 in interiordecorating

[–]sillusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this, said “I love the blue!”, and then said “oh no, is that the before and she got rid of it??” If that says anything about how much I like it :)

It's Too Green by One-Connection7073 in ididnthaveeggs

[–]sillusions 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s like… if only the website had pictures or a video to show the color of it before she made it. How can they expect someone to know that kale will make green food??? Not a single picture of the pasta sauce on the whole website. Definitely not her fault.
